Of course, it was impossible to make them confess, but Qin Jiu had already gotten the answer she wanted from the reactions of Lightning and Bai Xue.

It is most likely that this was Bai Xue's suggestion.

After all, Lightning can't hide anything on his face, and his anger doesn't seem to be acted.

It makes sense to think so. After all, Snow White has more tricks than Lightning, and does things in a more roundabout way. Only Snow White can think of pretending to have a mental illness to deceive other breeders.

But why were they pretending to be sick? Did they want to see Teacher Edel? Like she taught Mingyue?

Qin Jiu put Lightning on the ground and asked, "Why are you pretending to be sick?"

Hearing Qin Jiu's question, even Tian Qing who was standing beside him pricked up his ears and stared at the two war beasts without blinking.

From the moment he discovered that the two war beasts were pretending to be sick, his curiosity about the answer had reached its peak.

It is not uncommon for war beasts to pretend to be sick, but they will not pretend to be sick for no reason. They must be prompted by some reason to do so.

Especially high-level war beasts like Lightning and Snow White, their IQ is comparable to that of humans, and many of their behavioral patterns are similar to those of humans.

So when they learn to cheat from humans, their intentions must be the same as humans’ frauds—what they want to achieve.

Hearing this, Lightning and Snow White stood still and chose to stop fighting.

They stared at each other for a long time before walking towards Qin Jiu together.

Bai Xue nudged Qin Jiu's palm with her head, while Lightning rubbed her ankle.

Their answers are already obvious.

——To see Qin Jiu!

Of course, the only one who got this answer was Qin Jiu, who had always been clear-headed, while Tian Qing, who was confused outside the cage, did not understand what Lightning and Bai Xue meant.

He frowned and asked, "What do they mean? Are they still playing dumb and refusing to speak?"

Qin Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and she said ambiguously: "Hmm..."

At this time, Meteor, which was originally in a state of confusion, saw the two siblings and Qin Jiu being close to each other, and it was not willing to be left behind, so it imitated Lightning and rubbed Qin Jiu's other ankle.

Qin Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you joining in the fun..."

However, Meteor's behavior resolved the doubts she had just had.

Why did Lightning and Snow White know that doing this might attract their appearance?

She turned around and asked Tian Qing: "Brother Qing, when did you become their breeder?"

Tian Qing was stunned, not knowing the meaning of Qin Jiu's question, but he answered truthfully: "A few days ago... Oh! I remember, it was the day I met you in the cafe."

Qin Jiu looked at Liuxing who was playing with her trouser legs, and she said to herself: As expected!

It was probably on that day that Tian Qing's body was stained with his own and Meteor's scent, which led to his trace being discovered by these two war beasts with sensitive noses.

They were betting whether Tian Qing would find a way to bring Qin Jiu to them.

So cunning!

Although Qin Jiu was helpless, he had to admire the smart brains of the two war beasts.

After all, no matter what their methods are, they have now achieved their desired goals.

Qin Jiu squatted down and looked at Bai Xue at eye level. She asked, "You want me to come here for something else, right?"

Hearing this, the two war beasts nodded in unison.

Lightning sat, stretched out a small paw and pushed the non-existent glasses frame next to his eyes.

Qin Jiu understood and said, "Master Edel is safe for now, you don't have to worry."

Then Lightning pointed at himself and Bai Xue again, his eyes seemed to ask: Then why doesn't he come to see us.

Qin Jiu choked. She rubbed Lightning's head and said, "Isn't he busy..."

As if she could sense Qin Jiu's guilt, Bai Xue also came forward and touched Qin Jiu's head.

"Oh..." It asked cautiously, as if worried and afraid of getting an answer it didn't want to hear.

Qin Jiu hugged Bai Xue's neck and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, I will find a way to rescue Teacher Edel, and this..." She paused and swallowed all the words she wanted to say to criticize the Federation.

The two war beasts then withdrew their concerns doubtfully.

In addition to wanting to see Qin Jiu, they did have other purposes -

Now Qin Jiu has become their only support. They cannot protect their master, but they can entrust Qin Jiu for help.

It's not that they have no way to escape from this steel cage, but they know that only by being obedient here and not doing anything reactionary can they ensure the safety of their owners to the greatest extent.

They suppressed their nature all for Edel.

Even though they usually show that they dislike Edel, Edel is their master after all, and there is an unbreakable bond between them.

They are indeed pretending to be sick, but who can guarantee 100% that they don't have mental illness?

Maybe they have started to feel anxious and panic when they don't get any news from Edel every day and can only stay in the cage helplessly.

Tian Qing's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Qin Jiu was... hugging Bai Xue's neck!

Snow White even put her head on her shoulder!

God! This is something that even Edel may not be able to do!

He almost shed tears of bitterness, envy and jealousy.

Orcs are so good, so good...

Suddenly, the sound of people talking was heard at the end of the corridor. The two of them looked outside abruptly, their eyes filled with horror.

Tian Qing looked down at his terminal. The time on it was clearly just over seven and less than eight o'clock.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for anyone else to appear at this time! What happened today?

It happened suddenly, and Tian Qing didn't care about it. He opened the door of the cage and said to Qin Jiu inside: "Hurry, let's go!"

Qin Jiu also understood the seriousness of the matter. She immediately nodded, stood up, picked up the meteor and put it back into her pocket.

She said goodbye to Lightning and Snow White. The two war beasts obviously knew that now was not the time to be petty. They did not deliberately stop her, but stood there obediently, watching Qin Jiu leave.

Qin Jiu followed Tian Qing and left quickly. Meteor, with a confused look on his face, poked his little head out of Qin Jiu's pocket. He looked at Qin Jiu, then looked at Lightning and Baixue who did not leave with them, looking confused.

"Hurry, this way." Tian Qing's suppressed and anxious voice came from the front. Qin Jiu followed Tian Qing and was about to leave from another fork in the road.

They were a step too slow, and the people who appeared at the end of the corridor had already seen their panicked figures trying to escape.

The leader spoke in a cold voice with an irresistible tone. She said:

"—Standing."
