The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Moreover, Lin Fan was right about one thing: supernatural power cores cannot be fused between non-blood relatives, and no one has been able to break this ironclad rule to this day. Although she was basically certain that she was the sister who was picked up, she really didn't understand why Gu Ran wanted to take her supernatural power core.

Is it because he found a way to break the ironclad rule?

Or is there some other hidden story?

At this moment, what she wanted to understand most was what happened next.

At this time, a cold voice sounded.

"The function of the superpower crystal core is not limited to fusion to inherit superpowers. It can also be used for scientific research. After Lord Leng Feng passed away, you are now the only one in the world with spatial superpowers. His scientific research talent can be said to be unparalleled in the world, second to none. So, if he covets your superpower crystal core, it may not necessarily be because he wants to fuse with it himself. Perhaps it is just because he has discovered some new way to use superpower crystal cores."

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw a woman in a white coat walk out of the elevator as the doors opened.

She wore glasses, had long, silver-white hair that cascaded over her shoulders, and a beauty mark adorned her lips.

A kind of intellectual elegance, yet cold and ruthless temperament emanates from her.

Xuexi Ling (pronounced "ling")!

The world's smartest and most beautiful scientific research goddess is the president of the rebuilt Lanxin University.

Xue Xiling glared hatefully at Gu Ran, who was trapped in the triangular crystal cone, then turned to Gu Qingqing and said, "No one understands his scientific research abilities better than me. You usually just treat him as an unparalleled expert, but I know that he has the ability to mass-produce experts."

Xue Xiling's words left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

They were truly unaware that the tyrant was not only a genius with superpowers, but also a scientific genius.

However, they were aware of the feud between Xue Xiling and Gu Ran.

Lanxin University, where Xue Xiling serves as principal, is a rebuilt university. The previous principal of Lanxin University was Xue Xiling's father, and the original Lanxin University was destroyed by that tyrant, who also killed the former principal.

Xue Xiling's words gave Lin Fan more confidence. He said to Gu Qingqing, "That's right. We were all in the wrong place before. We thought that the tyrant stole your ability crystal core to fuse with and obtain spatial abilities. But if he is a scientific research geek, then it makes sense."

"Qingqing, even if he really did adopt you, and you really are the baby girl in the light screen just now, you don't owe him anything anymore. Look, he's even willing to disregard your life and use your superpower crystal core as his research material."

However, Lin Fan found that no matter what he said, Gu Qingqing remained silent.

This made him even more resentful towards Gu Ran.

"Wow, that was wonderful! Human emotions are so complex. No wonder you can make up so many beautiful stories." Ariel clapped her hands after watching the show, as if applauding the wonderful performance.

"A human scientific genius, huh? I see your relationship with that tyrant is quite unusual. Human love is really complicated, unlike our mermaid race, which is so simple."

Upon hearing Ariel's words, Lin Fan quickly glanced at Xue Xiling. He actually had designs on this cold, white-haired older sister. If he could bring her into his harem, his side's strength could grow rapidly and on a large scale.

However, upon seeing the complex expression on Xue Xiling's face, his heart sank. Could it be that even she, who was focused on scientific research, had some kind of entangled past with that tyrant?

Could it be that the only member of his harem who has no ambiguous relationship with that tyrant is Ariel?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan felt both relieved and nauseous.

Why are all the beauties he values ​​always snatched up by that tyrant, with some ambiguous entanglements?

But as long as it's still the original, that's fine.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan's desire to kill Gu Ran grew even stronger.

"Everyone, let's continue watching the tyrant's memory scenes. Qingqing, didn't you want to see what happened after the tyrant? Then watch carefully."

Lin Fan smiled and said to everyone.

Lin Fan said this for two reasons: first, to divert everyone's attention and ease the atmosphere; and second, because once the tyrant's crimes begin to be revealed, Gu Qingqing will definitely be disappointed in that tyrant and no longer have any illusions.

Gu Ran, inside the triangular crystal cone, was somewhat taken aback by what was happening outside. He hadn't expected that Gu Qingqing would be so excited and want to break the thing to release him before he even unleashed his ultimate move.

This greatly excited him, but unfortunately he was restrained by Ariel, the sea queen who appeared later, and then trapped by Cheng Youmeng.

"But it doesn't matter. My goal is to completely clear my name. Being able to get out early is a pleasant surprise. If I don't succeed, then I'll proceed as planned."

"Just wait and see how I deal with you two."

However, the most important event he had meticulously planned was about to happen, so Gu Ran stopped being distracted.

The image on the screen continues.

16. Sister: Brother, we can never be apart!

The memories displayed on the screen suddenly sped up, like a montage.

Flashbacks repeatedly showed Gu Ran and her younger sister spending time together, including heartwarming moments like watching videos together to learn, and touching scenes of Gu Ran anxiously taking her sister to the doctor when she was sick with a fever.

Gu Ran poured immense love and care into this adopted sister who was not related to him by blood.

Anyone could see that he truly regarded her as his closest relative.

The baby slowly grew up, learned to speak, learned to walk, and learned a lot of written knowledge.

......

"Damn it, if that baby girl really is Qingqing, then he's seen all of Qingqing's body, hasn't he? And they even bathed together and slept together..." Lin Fan suddenly realized this and felt like he had been cuckolded for no reason.

His expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he glanced at the others and they didn't seem to notice. He hesitated to show it, since both of them were still children. If he showed any displeasure, wouldn't he seem a bit vulgar?

......

As Gu Qingqing grew up, a beautifully sculpted little girl gradually took shape and was clearly presented to everyone.

Upon seeing the little girl's appearance, the crowd fell silent for a moment before immediately bursting into discussion.

Even though she was only five or six years old, one could already see a hint of the stunning beauty that Gu Qingqing would possess in the future.

"That little girl looks just like Lady Gu Qingqing. It seems she really is Lady Gu Qingqing when she was young. With so many coincidences, there can't be any mistake, right?"

"That's puzzling. Since Lady Gu Qingqing isn't that tyrant's biological sister, could it be that the tyrant wasn't really doing this to fuse with the superpower crystal core, but rather, as Principal Xue said, for some ulterior motive?"

"Now that you mention it, I'm even more scared. That tyrant is already one of the strongest in the world. If he can further enhance his strength or influence through scientific research, then who can stand against him? I bet we'll all be killed before we even reach Meteor Tower."

"The tyrant is truly terrifying. Fortunately, we stormed the Meteor Tower and suppressed him before his conspiracy succeeded. Once he is completely eliminated, we will no longer have to worry about his conspiracy."

The crowd's discussions made Lin Fan's face even uglier, because now, even he couldn't deny that the little girl was Gu Qingqing.

Wouldn't Qingqing have been taken advantage of by that tyrant? He's the one who suffered!

Although both of them were just children, Lin Fan felt a surge of jealousy and wanted to strangle Gu Ran immediately. Unfortunately, although the triangular crystal cone was his treasure, he couldn't control it well and could only let it complete the strangulation task on its own after it was unleashed.

However, Lin Fan's perception of his close relationship with Gu Qingqing was entirely subjective. Gu Qingqing had never been intimate with him; she had only agreed to join him in the campaign against Gu Ran.

......

On the screen, Gu Ran and her sister were having dinner.

"Qingqing, are you lonely?" Gu Ran put a piece of braised pork into her sister's bowl.

Gu Qingqing took a bite with disgust, intending to spit it out, but seeing Gu Ran's gaze, she had no choice but to swallow it reluctantly.

Although she didn't like braised pork, she didn't want to disappoint her brother.

"I'm not lonely, my brother is with me." After swallowing the braised pork, Gu Qingqing blinked her big eyes and looked at Gu Ran strangely.

Gu Ran pondered for a moment and said, "Don't you want to make some friends? You've reached the age where you should be making friends."

Gu Qingqing tilted her head: "Friends? Is it the kind of relationship described in the video? Sharing good things and playing together?"

To save himself the trouble, Gu Ran bought a lot of prenatal and early childhood education courses for his younger sister. Over the years, she had always lived with him and had never had any friends, so she didn't have a deep understanding of the concept of friendship.

Gu Ran nodded: "That's right, that kind of relationship. Don't you want to make friends? You can have fun together then."

Gu Qingqing shook her head: "No, no, no, I don't need that. I only need my brother. I don't need friends."

Gu Ran: "Why? People your age already have many friends. Why don't you want to make friends? Your brother can't always be by your side."

The younger sister lowered her head and began to sob softly, "Does my brother not want me anymore?"

Gu Ran was a little flustered. His younger sister was a sensible child who would never cry or make a fuss for no reason. He did not expect that his question would make his sister cry.

He quickly put his arm around his sister and said gently, "How could I not want you? If I didn't want you, where would I find such an obedient, sensible, smart and lovely sister?"

The younger sister snuggled into her brother's arms and said in a muffled voice, "Then why did you say you couldn't stay by my side forever? Doesn't that mean you don't want your sister anymore? Do you have another sister outside?"

Gu Ran was both amused and exasperated. Was he jealous?

He gently patted his sister's back: "No, that's not true. You're my only sister. Unless I die, I would never leave you alone."

"Then pinky promise with me, and the liar will turn into a puppy," the little sister said earnestly, lifting her head from her brother's arms.

"Okay, then let's poop the dog," Gu Ran said with a smile.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now, whoever breaks it is a dog!"

Under the lamplight at night, the brother and sister hooked their little fingers together, making a vow to never be separated.

Inside the water prison outside the light screen.

When Gu Qingqing saw her brother and sister making a pinky promise, tears welled up in her eyes once again.

She remembered!

She remembered this moment!

She did indeed make a promise with her brother that they would never be separated.

"But in the end, you broke the vow you made. For your own life, you abandoned me." Gu Qingqing bit her lip, and a trace of blood seeped out, but she was completely unaware of it.

"Why? Why? My teacher is one of the most powerful superhumans in the world. She could easily protect both of us. Why did you leave me?"

Why did you leave your sister, with whom you swore you would never be separated?!
