"Little Qingque, how dare you secretly eat by yourself behind my back!"
"Wuwuwu, I won't dare again."
She'll definitely do it again next time.
Qingque admitted her mistake on the surface, but in her heart, she had absolutely no intention of repenting.
After leaving several palm prints on her perky butt, Levi received a call from Guinaifen.
Hearing Sushang's voice coming from the other end, Levi instinctively blurted out without thinking, "Your cloned Sushang has arrived?"
"Cloned Sushang?"
Sushang, who had originally wanted to persuade Guinaifen to leave, immediately looked confused. "I'm a cloned Sushang?"
Recalling her missing memories, the suspicion in Sushang's eyes grew stronger.
"Uh, Sushang, don't listen to his nonsense."
"Where's the real Sushang? Does my mom know?"
"..."
A whole string of questions came pouring out of Sushang's mouth, giving Guinaifen a headache.
"Explain it to her quickly!"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem... Cloud Knight Sushang, listen to my command!"
"Yes!"
The next second, Sushang brought her legs together, held her greatsword, and stared straight ahead. Her eyes were so determined that it looked like she was about to enlist in the army.
No, she was already in the army.
"Do you still remember your dream?"
"Uh, to have my head cut off?"
"To make a name for yourself."
Guinaifen, who was holding her jade sign toward Sushang, couldn't help covering her forehead. Even an outsider like her knew this idiom, yet Sushang, a native Xianzhou person, could still get it wrong.
"Oh, right, right, right! To make a name for my bro!"
Seeing the other party's expression of sudden realization, if this was really something created through cloning technology... then she had to admit the cloning was pretty damn good.
"Wrong!" Levi rejected Sushang's answer. His stern face on the jade sign made Sushang think of the teacher at her private school.
Her two legs began trembling unconsciously.
It wasn't trembling from excitement. It was entirely because of the fear deep within her heart.
"Then, you tell me. What should my dream be?", Sushang's legs trembled as she raised her hand and asked softly.
"You can even forget this..."
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Please tell me. When I go back, I'll copy it ten times!"
"Wrong! A hundred times!"
This string of reactions left Levi and Guinaifen both completely stunned.
Looking at Sushang on the jade sign, her hands clasped together as she bowed and apologized to him.
Her attitude was so good that it was almost excessive.
Levi's expression became strange. "Could Bailu have treated this kid until she became stupid?"
She seemed just as hopeless as Kiana.
"Achoo!"
Kiana rubbed her nose on the bed, turned over, and continued sleeping.
"Mm... Why does it feel like someone's badmouthing me?"
Bailu suddenly sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyes as she looked around the pitch-black room. After finding no movement, she lay back down again.
"Have you forgotten your goal? To become the Luofu Sword Champion!"
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, Guinaifen's eyes instantly widened as she looked at her somewhat foolish-looking best friend in front of her.
"You want to become the Luofu Sword Champion?!"
She was utterly shocked.
Her good friend, who played around with her every day, actually had such an ambitious goal.
Although she didn't know what level the Luofu Sword Champion was at, judging from the word "champion," it should mean first place.
The strongest person on the Luofu at using swords?
That should be what it meant, right?
"Exactly. Not wrong at all."
Guinaifen's interpretation was truly easy to understand.
"I don't think it's very likely."
Sushang lowered her head. Leaving aside anything else, Yanqing, the genius youth who had become a Cloud Knight Lieutenant at such a young age, was already there.
There was no way she could become the Luofu Sword Champion.
She had seen his swordsmanship before. It was far beyond what her mediocre skills could compare to.
Compared with him, she was practically an amateur.
"Mediocre skills?"
Levi seemed to have heard something funny. "You're the only daughter of the Li family of Yaoqing. You've been studying martial arts hard since you were little, and your martial skills are far beyond those of ordinary Cloud Knights. How could they possibly be mediocre?"
Hearing this, Sushang widened her eyes and stared at Levi's face on the jade sign.
"When did I ever say my surname was Li?"
Levi froze. After thinking about it for a moment, it seemed she really hadn't said so.
Could Sushang in this world actually not have the surname Li?
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Then what's your surname?"
"Li."
'Then what the hell are you talking about?!'
Those few short sentences almost made Levi lose his temper.
Guinaifen, who was standing to the side watching the two of them interact, almost laughed herself to death.
"Too bad we weren't livestreaming this."
Otherwise, a huge number of people would definitely have been completely won over by her best friend Sushang.
Thinking of this, Guinaifen hurriedly took out the jade sign she used and opened it with her other hand, pointing it toward the camera as she began talking to herself.
Looking at Sushang on the jade sign, Levi had finished calming himself down. A confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Don't worry, Sushang. Once I go to the Fu family to learn from them, I'll train you into the true Luofu Sword Champion!"
"The Fu family? You're going to the Marshal's family to learn from them?!"
Sushang was shocked.
The only person she could think of who, through the Fu family and learning from them, could make her stronger and become the Luofu Sword Champion was the Marshal of the Xianzhou Alliance.
Hearing Sushang's shocked voice, Levi thought for a moment and said, "More or less."
They were all members of the Fu family anyway.
"Wow! Sushang, what's that?!"
Suddenly, Guinaifen's frightened voice rang out. Sushang turned her head toward it, her expression freezing.
Then she gave Levi a miserable look.
"Ah!!! A ghost!!!"
Clatter!
The jade sign fell to the ground. By sheer coincidence, the camera was pointed at the floor. Levi could only hear the sounds coming from the other side and couldn't see anything at all.
But just from the sounds, Levi could already imagine plenty of scenes.
Hearing the noises coming from the jade sign in Levi's hand, Qingque, who was bending over on the sofa, raised her head and glanced at him.
"Are there ghosts on the Luofu too?"
'I remember there's only one, something that looks like a ghost but isn't a ghost.'
'Its name seems to be, um, called...'
"Borisin?"
"Right, right, right! A heliobus!"
Levi glanced at Qingque, who was behaving improperly on the sofa, and reminded her, "Be careful yourself recently. Don't spend all day dreaming about becoming a boss."
"Oh, come on, do I look like I want to become a boss?"
Seeing Qingque wave her hand at him carelessly, Levi shook his head and left the house.
Qingque's eyes turned toward the direction Levi had left. After watching him close the door, she immediately changed her expression.
She wriggled around painfully on the sofa.
"Ow~"
She gently touched her butt, her expression somewhat twisted.
"That guy really doesn't know how to control his strength!"
The key was, if he was going to leave, why didn't he leave faster?
It felt like he had seen through the fact that she was forcing herself to keep up appearances and deliberately made her endure it a little longer.
She got down and found some ice water herself, which eased things considerably.
"He wasn't afraid of flattening me."
"Ha~ A smack can only make it swell. I've never seen one flatten it."
'Wait!'
Kiana's had been flattened by Ying, but unfortunately, no matter how much she told them, they wouldn't believe her. They wouldn't even let her come over and test it herself.
Seriously...
There wasn't even a tiny bit of trust between people.

[Some Time Later]
Levi had just stepped into the Exalting Sanctum when he heard Guinaifen's panicked voice.
"First it was like this, then it was like that, and then 'eek!' Sushang just fell down."
Seeing her gesturing at several members of the Ten-Lords Commission, Levi walked closer and glanced at the jade sign lying on the ground, which still hadn't been picked up.
He also saw the human-shaped outline drawn on the ground, as if it were a murder scene, with Sushang lying inside it.
Imagining what had happened at the scene, he couldn't help laughing.
Hearing the sound, Guinaifen turned around and immediately looked delighted.
"Levi!"
'Great! It's Levi! We're saved!'
'How could a mere evil ghost possibly be a match for General Levi?!'
"Ahem, ahem, ahem. Were you guys just watching Big Gray Wolf?"
"Yoho~ You dare call this grandpa a wolf?"
"Shh! Shh!"
"..."
