Although he had walked extremely far on the Ascension Stairs and was qualified to look down on 99% of the extraordinary beings in the world, he still couldn't fully understand this sentence.

Or rather, he simply couldn't believe it.

Gu Yuqiu said, "It's very simple. That person believes that only those who know the preciousness of life are qualified to follow the path she walked."

Lu Xiu rubbed his temples, trying to accept this absurd yet very likely true news, feeling that it was truly outrageous.

Since that great being stepped onto the path to godhood and walked towards the highest position, he killed tens of thousands of people all by himself in just three months.

The exact number of superhumans who subsequently died at his hands remains unknown.

This person left behind such a request among his last belongings.

Who would have thought?

Nobody would think of it that way!

"You seem utterly speechless?"

Gu Yuqiu suddenly asked.

Lu Xiu could no longer maintain his composure and said irritably, "Who could have imagined it would turn out like this? Unless you have inside information, how could you have guessed it?"

He suddenly thought of a question and quickly asked, "If the premise for bringing out that relic is the hope of survival, then why is there still no movement at all?"

A baby is born every day.

People die every day.

Even if some of the dead truly wanted to die, the vast majority of them simply wanted to live well, and their desire to survive was never diminished.

Gu Yuqiu turned around and walked in the direction she left, leaving behind her last words.

"Because those are just kindling, nothing more. What's needed now is a spark to ignite everything."

Chapter 94: Chapter Ninety-Three Two Names

The news is true; Gu Yuqiu wasn't lying.

Although she often lies and enjoys seeing others get angry and frustrated after being deceived, this time she was telling the truth.

However, she didn't finish her sentence.

Even if someone actually fulfills the prerequisites, it still depends on her decision in the end.

If she dislikes that person, then that person will not be entitled to inherit the so-called heirloom.

Simply put, in the end, everything depends on her own wishes.

Gu Yuqiu felt better as she left the office.

She came to the Special Affairs Bureau today to tell Lu Xiu this news and guide this junior onto the path she hopes for.

She had told Shen Hong about this the night before last.

Crimson could never have imagined that her final actions would be so direct and brutal, devoid of any grace, and unlike those of a cunning and calculating mastermind.

Of course, this wasn't all she was thinking about, because the news had another use.

She didn't say it aloud, but Lu Xiuli should have understood.

—This is the condition for Su Yan's return.

……

……

The Special Affairs Bureau was already bustling with activity at eight o'clock in the morning, showing no signs of being quiet.

The secretary who had previously received Gu Yuqiu was now waiting outside the office, glancing nervously at the door every now and then, hoping that everything was alright.

After countless prayers, the previously closed door finally opened, and Gu Yuqiu walked out.

The secretary hesitated for a moment, then got up to greet him, wanting to ask a few questions, but didn't know how to start.

"Thank you."

Gu Yuqiu turned her head and looked at the secretary, revealing a very light and faint smile.

The secretary stared at her profile, stunned by the smile. She instinctively covered her mouth to keep from making a sound, and murmured, "You're welcome...you're welcome."

She really wanted to say, "If you really want to thank me, then please smile at me a few more times!"

Gu Yuqiu said softly, "I'm leaving."

The secretary hummed in agreement, watching Gu Yuqiu's retreating figure with a heartfelt expression as she saw him off.

Just as she reluctantly turned her gaze away and prepared to return to work, she suddenly noticed Lu Xiu standing next to her, and her eyes widened in surprise.

Lu Xiu asked, "She is indeed very beautiful."

The secretary thought to herself that this was a really useless statement, and said seriously, "I think there is no one in the world who is more beautiful than her."

Lu Xiu frowned and continued to ask, "Is this why you disrupted your schedule and made her come to see me without an appointment?"

The secretary was slightly taken aback, unsure of what to say.

She had been nervously watching the office, afraid that something bad would happen, precisely because of this.

Lu Xiu was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll let it go this time, but don't let it happen again."

……

……

Several hours later, it was almost noon.

At Lu Xiu's suggestion, he specially cleared out twenty minutes from his originally packed schedule to meet with Zhong Chongshan.

The conversation was still about the two girls.

For some reason, Zhong Chongshan's eyes were filled with weariness, as if he had been busy all night with something until now.

He arrived at the office through a secret channel, and seeing Lu Xiu dealing with the aftermath of something, he got straight to the point and said a sentence.

"Lin Mushi rejected you, right?"

"Ah."

"But I mentioned this possibility to you yesterday, so you shouldn't be surprised. Let me guess, is it Gu Yuqiu who came to see you?"

"Yes, but she didn't come for Lin Mushi."

"That's interesting."

"She told me about the clues to the relics left behind by that being."

"what?"

Zhong Chongshan's eyes widened in shock as he exclaimed, "How could Gu Yuqiu possibly know such news..."

Before he could finish speaking, he realized what was happening and came up with the most reasonable explanation.

Lu Xiu had just finished his work and looked up at his colleague. Knowing that his guess was the same as his own, he said, "This is what the Innocent Queen asked Gu Yuqiu to tell us."

Zhong Chongshan asked seriously, "Do you think there are any other possibilities?"

Lu Xiu shook his head.

Zhong Chongshan sighed, his emotions somewhat complicated, because he shared the same view.

Lu Xiu looked at him and said slowly, "If our guess is correct, then the Innocent Queen will soon submit her application for entry."

Zhong Chongshan thought for a moment and said, "This has nothing to do with us."

The matter involves the innocent Queen, and at most only three people in the entire Special Affairs Bureau are qualified to speak on this matter; it's simply not their turn.

"More importantly, the innocent queen has a legitimate reason for entering the country this time, which is much more reasonable than before, and no one can object."

He looked into Lu Xiu's eyes and stated his reason: "Revenge."

Lu Xiu sighed and said helplessly, "Then let's leave it at that."

……

……

Time always flies by so quickly.

When people look back late at night, they realize that the past is already far away, and even their memories have become blurred.

Time flies.

It should not stop day or night.

Lin Mushi knew this, but she just couldn't do it, because she always recalled the days not long ago when the night was quiet.

Even though those beautiful and peaceful days were so similar that when she recalled them, she always forgot which day it was a breezy day and which day it was a drizzly day.

But what does it matter?

One morning, after returning home from her morning run, she took a shower, sat on the sofa with her knees drawn up to her chest, and looked out at the different scenery when she suddenly thought of something.

It's been so long since winter started, why hasn't there been a single snowfall yet?

Xin Chu is located in the south, but it is not the southernmost part, and there are few years without snow.

Then she discovered that even the rain had stopped.

Today is the fifteenth day since she submitted her resignation letter, and Lu Xiu is still putting her request on hold, seemingly intending to drag it out for a full month until she can apply for labor arbitration.

She didn't mind the matter much; after all, she was still young and had the right to be immature and impulsive.

She was just a little annoyed because she knew nothing about herself and could only rely on information and news on the internet to find out what had happened in Xin Chu.

For example, people are dying at Blackstone again.

For example, one of the leaders of the Divine Will Walker was captured.

For example, Lu Xiu appeared calm and composed at the press conference, indicating that the Special Affairs Bureau had full control over the current situation.

She scrolled through Weibo, looking at strange messages and all sorts of discussions, but still felt incredibly bored. She couldn't help but sigh, wondering when this kind of life would end.

She used to be always busy and didn't know what it felt like to be idle. Now she's so bored she can't find anything to do, yet she feels restless.

Lin Mushi stood up, stretched, took one last look at the scenery outside the window, and prepared to go to bed for a nap.
