Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1368: Chapter 1348: The Spirit Bird and the Electrician

”Hmm, so what exactly did you call me here for?” Luo Qianqian curved her lips, showing not a shred of reaction to their words.

If they were strangers, why design for her to attend that lousy Sanctuary conference?

”Blank is now left with only you on the surface, and only you dare to freely cross borders without caring about being targeted by other countries.” Elder Sun calmly looked at Luo Qianqian: ”The Sanctuary Alliance has now dispatched guards within Alliance Country, what do you think?”

”I’m just sitting back and watching.” Luo Qianqian calmly looked at the dishes in front of her.

They look tantalizing, but in reality, she could only look at them without eating—what a disappointment...

But didn’t Elder Deng say he would come over too? Yet now, there’s no sign of anyone else participating.

”The Sanctuary Alliance is just putting on a show now.” Seeing the disapproving expressions of others, Luo Qianqian calmly continued: ”If they don’t put on a show now, when something really happens, they won’t be able to send out defenders for their country. Right now, things are relatively safe, and whatever they do is understandable.”

”Moreover, if something really occurs, Alliance Country must listen to the coordination of the Alliance. Will they abandon protecting their country to defend others? That’s impossible!” Luo Qianqian continued, her face filled with disdain: ”I don’t consider joining such an alliance as something to be proud of. A vast country, we can protect ourselves, why rely on someone else’s strength, even having to allocate part of our own resources to assist them in times of true crisis. Why should we?”

Her gaze cast towards Commander Sun’s wife, pulling at the corners of her mouth: ”Just like how you express dissatisfaction with me now, why should I treat you kindly?” Those who insult others will themselves be insulted. Furthermore, what right does she have?

Han Chen was taken aback, instinctively furrowing his brows at the commander’s wife, realizing his mistake, he silently lowered his head, staring at his clasped knees.

Such things as qualification are always owned by the strong.

As the weak side, what right do they have?

”You!” The commander’s wife abruptly stood up, her eyes widening, pointing straight at Luo Qianqian’s nose, almost to the point of yelling, but she just glared, speechless for a while.

Luo Qianqian looked at her without fear, smirking: ”What now?” Her atmosphere unfolded fully, a bloody murderous intent directed straight at the commander’s wife’s forehead.

She instantly fell back into her seat.

Luo Qianqian smirked: ”Only the strong have bargaining chips to negotiate, the weak are merely accessories.” As for you guys, you’re the weak!

The meaning was blatantly expressed on her face, leaving them enraged yet powerless to argue.

In front of Luo Qianqian, even if they had rights and status, it didn’t change the fact that Luo Qianqian remained dominant.

Because she possessed abilities that were irreplaceable.

Ability Users are forever a domain that’s constantly explored yet remains incomprehensible.

After all their research...

The commander’s wife was ultimately speechless, only then realizing that this young girl wasn’t just the one liked by the promising young man but also someone they couldn’t control, only observed unreachable levels.

She wouldn’t flatter them, all her preconceived notions were nonexistent...

Calmly assessing the expressions on everyone’s faces, she finally spoke: ”So what do you want with me exactly?”

”Hmm... this matter isn’t urgent, we’ll talk later.” Elder Sun glanced at the commander’s wife, chuckling: ”But how did you get an invite to the Sanctuary conference?”

”I didn’t receive an invite, alright?” Luo Qianqian was instantly speechless: ”I was just investigating other matters. Who knew it’d coincidentally be where they were holding that lousy conference. Let them hold it. They even invited us inside, asking me to bring a child to listen to such things. I’m worried the kid might develop wrongly.”

Speaking those grand words, she genuinely feared An Hao might become a hypocrite.

One who uses others to do their dirty work, self-centered and unscrupulous for personal gain.

Thinking about it, it’s quite terrifying...

Han Chen found himself quite speechless, even though investigation reports labeled An Hao as Luo Qianqian’s brother, it was clear this brother matured way too quickly, and grew too large...

Not at all the growth rate a child of this age should have. Those unaware might think he received injections...

”What were you investigating?” Elder Yu asked, his expression still gentle, yet appearing most challenging to deal with.

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes: ”A spiritual bird and an electrician changing light bulbs to drive away darkness.”

The Blood Clan are metamorphosed bats. Which bats live thousands of years?

Plus, Rashal is clearly a standout among them.

The Temple of Light is eternally self-professed as driving away darkness and ushering in brightness? Dispelling evil and welcoming purity? Self-styled as divine and holy. But bringing brightness is essentially done by bulbs. Those incessantly calling themselves emissaries of brightness are essentially bulb-changing electricians.

No conflict in saying this.

”...” What kind of nonsense is this? Not only Elder Yu, everyone in the private room looked bewildered.

Luo Qianqian wore a face of innocence, saying that after the founding of the nation, there’d be no more spirits, although they manifested before the founding; still, spirits are spirits, believing or not depends on the listener, right?

Clearly, these folks are atheists, speaking such absurd things fares better with a smile and silence.

Elder Sun vaguely suspected some truths, especially since he heard bits of Luo Qianqian’s past activities, and that they’re now delving into this field.

He glanced excitedly at Luo Qianqian: ”Can we see that spiritual bird?”

Luo Qianqian’s expression instantly turned odd, looking at a bat? Could he be aiming to become Batman?

Rashal is the only one easy to talk to, but Rashal is her person, she wouldn’t harm or expose him.

Thus, only seek out other bird spirits?

Except for that one-off appearance, there’s been no further connection with them, finding their traces is tough.

After a pause, she said: ”If I can catch one, I’d give it to you too, but right now I can’t get hold of one...”

Facing the situation innocently, hands spread, it’s not her fault.

If she caught it back then, there’d be no need to travel afar, right?

The dishes on the table gradually chilled, aromas faded away, yet no one touched their chopsticks. Though termed a banquet, it was merely a setting for conversation, none were eating.

Indeed, deciding to leave a meal prepared before heading out was correct.
