CHAPTER 701: 705

As they spoke, tears of sorrow fell from Xiao Hei’s eyes.

Many of the brothers and sisters who initially escaped had not all died.

There were also some who, because they were particularly colorful, were violently taken away. Among these people were both men and women, and he could only watch helplessly.

The Martial Arts they once thought were decent, when brought out into the open, truly couldn’t hold up.

It was only then that he realized the majority of their success had relied on the intelligence of the Lord.

The teamwork and excellent strategies... yet all that had given them a false impression that they were somewhat outstanding.

Now, with only so many friends left, no matter what, he could not let anything happen to them.

Xiao Hei thought that by saying this, if not deeply touching the Lord, it would at least stir his emotions somewhat.

Having been together for so many years, no one understood the Lord better than him.

The Lord was actually a very gentle and soft-hearted person.

The reason the Lord had willingly stayed on the garbage star initially was that he had been moved by the pitiful looks of him and Xue’er.

But this time...

Xiao Hei couldn’t believe his eyes, as he seemed to see a carefree cold sneer on the Lord’s face.

Then, the heartbreaking words that shattered his last hope came out of the Lord’s mouth.

Su Li said, "Even if they die, that’s their fate... What does that have to do with me? I’m neither their parent nor their relative or friend, and we were on opposite sides before..."

Unable to restrain himself, Xiao Hei roared out, "But aren’t you supposed to be kind and forgiving... Why can’t you be like that this time..."

Xue’er couldn’t bear it any longer, and glaring hard at Su Li through the communicator, she said, "Don’t beg him, we can live well without him, as long as we all stick together, there will surely be hope."

The others also loudly agreed with resentment, "Yes, Xue’er is right, don’t beg him..."

Su Li simply smiled and said, "That’s for the best."

After a pause, he added, "I also don’t understand how kindness and forgiveness have become your excuses to harm others recklessly."

With that, Su Li turned off the communicator, and this time she truly remembered to completely destroy it.

The suddenly darkened communicator also took away Su Li’s image.

Xiao Hei frantically pressed it again, but this time there was no response.

With a complex look that no one could understand, he scanned his companions, then dejectedly sat down on the ground, dispiritedly saying, "Why don’t you understand... Only by following him could you have better days, without having to struggle so hard..."

Xue’er also stubbornly interjected, "But we don’t need that."

Xiao Hei’s deep gaze made Xue’er shiver for no reason, and she dared not retort strongly.

With a deep sigh, Xiao Hei said, "Why don’t you all understand..."

"Only by following him can the Yu Clan hope to be restored."

But all that met Xiao Hei’s words were the perplexed looks from Xue’er and the others.

---------

Now, switching back to Su Li, just after she had destroyed the communicator, another, smaller communicator rang.

This surprised her, as this communicator had not been used in a long time.

It was the exclusive communicator between the original owner and her daughter, and after sending her daughter away, the original owner had completely set it aside.

Though she had said there would be no more contact, the only thing left between them was this device, which the original owner had kept as a keepsake.

The only person who knew this communicator’s number was just one person.

Without further thought, other than the original owner’s daughter, it was someone related to her who had dialed this number.

Su Li speculated with interest, thinking that in her previous life, the original owner had never received contact from her only family member until her death. Yet in this life, she had, at this particular moment when she was extremely famous on the Star Network.

It all seemed too fishy.

If it had still been the original owner, upon receiving contact from her daughter, she would naturally have been concerned whether something had happened or if she needed help, rather than suspect ulterior motives.

But the present person was not the original owner, so Su Li naturally had more thoughts.

Some things shouldn’t be scrutinized too much; once you do, they’re all problematic.

Letting the communicator ring for quite a while, seeing that the caller seemed persistently determined, Su Li reluctantly answered.

As Su Li had guessed, the person on the other end was indeed the original owner’s estranged daughter.

Different from the tomboyish image in the original owner’s memory, the girl appearing in the projection before Su Li was extremely beautiful.

Dressed in a bubbly pink Princess dress, she looked just like a Princess living in a castle.

Her previously very short hair had now grown to her shoulders, with pink hair clips pinning the hair on either side behind her ears.

Su Li examined her from head to toe and said coldly, "Looking at you now, you seem to be living quite well, finally getting what you wished for."

Su Xun frowned slightly, disgruntledly saying, "Is that all? You’re not going to ask how I’ve been?"

Su Xun was dissatisfied with her mother’s attitude, which made it difficult for her to continue with what she had planned to say.

Su Li laughed instead, "I didn’t know I had to greet you first upon seeing you... Besides, you clearly look well, so what is there to ask?"

"The most important thing, have you forgotten?"

"When you insisted on leaving back then, we severed our mother-daughter relationship, so... after such a long time without contact, why have you come looking for me now?"

All of Su Li’s reactions surprised Su Xun, who had never imagined her mother would act this way upon their reunion.

Although her mother had threatened to sever their relationship to keep her on the garbage star, she had still chosen what she believed was best for herself.

Regardless of her mother’s attitude then, Su Xun had always been clear that no one loved her more than her mother.

This belief had not changed until now.

As long as it was beneficial for her, she believed her mother would absolutely not refuse.

So when Su Xun saw a different attitude from what she had expected in Su Li, besides being a little surprised, she wasn’t too caught off guard.

She quickly figured it out; her mother must still be angry.

To this, Su Xun was dismissive, pouting as she said, "Mom, how can you speak to me like this."

"Am I not your daughter anymore..."

"You’re not, I don’t have a daughter."

Su Xun couldn’t understand why her mother was so stubborn this time.

But remembering her purpose for coming, she still managed to suppress her temper, "Mom, I was wrong, can you forgive me now?"
