Want to Help Wu Sidu Avenge Her Parents? The Green Skull Organization Attacks!

"It's nothing like that, so don't get the wrong idea."

Gu Yue Na, seated beside them, could not help speaking up in Lu Jun's defense. Though her tone was mild, it carried a protective edge.

"Before coming to the East Continent, he spent several days and nights without rest forging a Four-Word Dou Armor. His Spiritual Power and Soul Power were severely depleted, which is why he's so exhausted."

"Oh, so that's how it is... Sorry, I misunderstood you."

After hearing that, Wu Sidu readily admitted her mistake. She had always been rather straightforward by nature.

To ease the slightly awkward atmosphere, Lu Jun took the initiative to change the subject and asked about Wu Sidu's family.

However, the topic seemed to touch upon a wound deep in Wu Sidu's heart. Her expression instantly darkened, and an indescribably complex emotion appeared in her eyes.

"Why bring up family... It's long gone." Wu Sidu's voice sank, carrying a barely noticeable tremor. "My mother... later came to believe in the anti-Federation Green Skull Organization. And my father, when I was still very young, was... was killed by people from the Federation government. Our family had long since fallen apart. I don't want to say any more."

Gu Yue Na, seated to Lu Jun's right, could not help facepalming inwardly. She sighed at how Lu Jun's emotional intelligence had suddenly vanished. He was bringing up precisely the subject he should not have, deliberately poking at someone else's scars.

Yet at that moment, Lu Jun looked calmly at Wu Sidu and asked in a serious tone:

"Wu Sidu, do you want to avenge your parents?"

The question was far too abrupt and direct. Wu Sidu suddenly raised her head, her expression becoming extremely strange as she looked at him with an almost absurd disbelief.
