"That's exactly how the male and female leads in 'The Overbearing Lord's Forced Love' met."
Wu Siduo muttered something under her breath.
"What did you say?"
Seeing Wu Siduo muttering to herself without making a sound, Su Mo asked her out of curiosity.
"nothing!"
Wu Siduo shook her head frantically; her mutterings just now were something she absolutely couldn't let anyone else know.
Otherwise, her title of "Number One Genius in Xingluo" would be ruined.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Once she calmed down, Wu Siduo crossed her arms and spoke arrogantly.
Although Wu Siduo's attempt to change the subject was so lame it was speechless, Su Mo was too lazy to delve into it. "I'm just curious, what are you doing lying on the beach all day?"
Is it strange to lie on the beach?
Wu Siduo retorted in an unfriendly tone, even with a hint of provocation.
Seeing this, Su Mo retorted without hesitation, "Lying on the beach is not surprising, but I've never seen an idiot like you lying on the beach in casual clothes before."
"you……"
Wu Siduo was furious with Su Mo, but she couldn't refute him.
Ignoring Wu Siduo's murderous glare, Su Mo said with a grin, "Tell me your troubles and make me happy."
Someone like Wu Siduo, who acts crazy so early in the morning, wearing casual clothes and lying down on the beach, must have encountered something upsetting.
What Su Mo likes most is to be a caring older brother and comfort others.
"Happiness my ass!"
Wu Siduo retorted irritably.
"Then I'll ask myself!"
Su Mo said in a serious tone.
"you dare!"
Wu Siduo glared at him and threatened him in an unfriendly tone.
"You can't beat me."
Su Mo shrugged, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"you--!"
Wu Siduo was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she was speechless.
Suddenly, Wu Siduo fell silent, turned her head, looked at the endless coastline in the distance, and said in a low voice, "What do you think... is the meaning of human existence?"
"???"
Hearing the indescribable sadness in Wu Siduo's tone, Su Mo was filled with questions. Why did she suddenly become so emo?
Seeing that Su Mo did not answer, Wu Siduo said to herself with a sad expression, "Do you know that ever since my martial soul awakened, the way my family treats me is like a completely different person?"
"All their love and pampering for me has disappeared. The thing they say to me most every day is to urge me to train."
"I was like their puppet, undergoing all sorts of rigorous training day after day under their control."
"I don't understand why. Just because I'm talented, does that mean I should bear the expectations of all of them? Should I fulfill their long-rotted dream of restoring their country?"
Wu Siduo became more and more agitated as she spoke, her tone carrying a hint of inexplicable sorrow.
"The dream of restoring the nation!"
Upon hearing these three words, Su Mo already had a general idea of Wu Siduo's origins.
The keywords "from Xingluo City" and "restoration of the kingdom" are linked together, and coupled with Wu Siduo's skill just now, Su Mo can be almost 100% certain that Wu Siduo is a descendant of the Dai family.
Chapter 81 Oolong
"It's not appropriate to so openly reveal your family's purpose."
"Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the federal government, Desmond?"
Seeing Wu Siduo's dejected look, Su Mo couldn't help but tease her.
Upon hearing the name "Desidiot," Wu Siduo paused for a moment, then said with a bitter expression, "How could the Federation not know about this?"
"The Xingluo Dancers are a branch of the Dai family that remained in Douluo Continent. This has long been an open secret in Xingluo City."
"It's just that the Federation doesn't want to get involved."
"Or perhaps the Federation would love for our family to unite with Xingluo, so that the Federation would have a legitimate reason to attack Xingluo Continent."
Su Mo nodded in agreement.
The Sun and Moon Federation is currently riding high and has the potential to annex the entire Douluo Star.
If it weren't for the Shrek Academy and Tang Sect, those two traitors, constantly pressuring the federal government in parliament and shouting slogans of peace, the federal government would probably have already taken action against the Star Luo and Dou Ling continents.
However, Su Mo estimated that Shrek Academy and Tang Sect wouldn't be able to suppress them for long.
The two sparsely populated continents of Xingluo and Douling are seen as a tempting piece of meat by all the forces of the Sun and Moon Federation.
Besides the federal government wanting a piece of the pie, many of Shrek Academy and Tang Sect's allies also covet these two continents.
After all, given the size of the Federation, it would be almost impossible for it to absorb these two territories on its own.
If the federal government wants to completely take over these two continents, it will inevitably have to compromise with the major internal forces and let them share this prize.
When faced with naked self-interest, even the closest alliance is nothing more than a pile of loose sand.
If Shrek Academy and Tang Sect continue to misjudge the situation and blindly protect Xingluo and Douling, they will be in serious trouble.
Sooner or later, he will become deserted by everyone in this spoils-sharing, and ultimately end up being attacked by the masses.
"If that's the case, then why did you come looking for the Xu family in the first place?"
Su Mo looked at Wu Siduo with some confusion.
If even a little girl like Wu Siduo can see through this principle, there's no reason why the elders in Wu Siduo's family shouldn't.
Upon hearing Su Mo mention the Xu family, Wu Siduo's pupils constricted sharply, and a hint of wariness appeared in her eyes as she looked at Su Mo. "Where did you get this information from?"
She was only told by her grandfather that the Xu family of the East Sea was a secret branch of the Star Crown Sect left in Douluo Continent just before she came.
Prior to this, she knew nothing about the Xu family of Donghai.
But now, such a secret matter has been revealed by Su Mo, a complete stranger, which made Wu Siduo feel a chill down her spine.
Wu Siduo had every reason to suspect that the federal government had long known about the origins of the Xu family of Donghai.
Su Mo was sent by the federal government to secretly monitor the Xu family.
In that case, it makes perfect sense that a spirit-type soul master would suddenly appear in such a remote place as Donghai City.
Thinking of this, Wu Siduo looked at Su Mo with a hint of apprehension.
Wu Siduo quietly put her hands behind her back, and a white button appeared in her right hand without her noticing.
The button in Wu Siduo's hand was none other than a device used to notify the Wu family and the Xu family of an emergency evacuation.
Once the button is pressed, the dancers and the Xu family will be moved immediately.
Wu Siduo's little actions naturally did not escape Su Mo's notice.
"Hey~"
Su Mo sighed upon realizing Wu Siduo's intentions, and then snapped his fingers.
For a moment, Wu Siduo felt a blur before her eyes.
When Wu Siduo came to her senses, she was suddenly shocked to find that her hands were empty.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Looking at the flustered Wu Siduo, Su Mo shook the oval button in his hand and said with a playful expression.
"you……"
Seeing the contact button in Su Mo's hand, Wu Siduo was struck dumb, her face turning deathly pale.
Wu Siduo is filled with regret now.
She should have listened to her grandfather's arrangement and visited the Xu family directly, instead of running to the beach to vent her dissatisfaction out of spite.
Although she had long been utterly disappointed in her family, they were, after all, the family who had given birth to and raised her.
The thought of the hundreds of members of the Wu and Xu families being imprisoned or even executed because of her impulsive act made Wu Siduo feel a wave of dizziness wash over her, as if her heart was being squeezed tightly.
"Back to you!"
Seeing that Wu Siduo's tears were already welling up in her eyes and she was about to cry from fright, Su Mo quickly returned the communication device to her.
He just wanted to tease Wu Siduo, but if he made her cry, he would have to figure out how to comfort her.
"..."
Looking at the communication device that Su Mo had thrown at her feet, Wu Siduo's mind went blank, completely unable to understand what Su Mo meant.
"Do you still want it or not? If not, I'll take it back."
Seeing that Wu Siduo hadn't made a move, Su Mo reached out as if to take it back.
Wu Siduo didn't even have time to think about the reason. She quickly squatted down and picked up the communication device, holding it in her hands as if it were some kind of treasure.
Looking at the communication device back in her hand, Wu Siduo breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Su Mo with some confusion.
"Um... Su Mo, why did you return it to me?"
"Isn't your mission to collect evidence of the dealings between the Xu family and Xingluo?"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Wu Siduo's words left Su Mo completely confused.
Seeing Su Mo's bewildered expression, Wu Siduo seemed to realize something and cautiously probed, "Weren't you sent by the Federation to secretly monitor the Xu family?"
