The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 308: It Was Him Who Made the Wrong Choice

Chapter 308: Chapter 308: It Was Him Who Made the Wrong Choice

The automatic pilot mode couldn’t perfectly avoid the meteor cluster, so he had to go to the cockpit for manual operation.

They accidentally entered a very large meteor cluster, and it took Lu Shinian a full two hours to navigate out.

The intense focus left him slightly fatigued, so he lay on the recliner to nap for a while.

Then, he dreamt.

No, to be precise, he entered a dream.

Entered Ruan Ruan’s dream.

After waking from the dream, Lu Shinian slowly sat up, attempting to piece together the truth of Su Ruan’s death in a past life.

This might be quite easy to piece together.

In the grand hall, there should have been a fierce argument between him and her.

He received the notification of the Insect Race’s invasion, so he led the army to resist them.

Because of the argument, he didn’t bind her to his side.

Nor did she want to be.

So she stayed in the Imperial Palace, while he went out to resist the Insect Race.

Perhaps during this period, she tried to escape but returned to the Imperial Palace persuaded by Shen Shi.

This is not hard to guess, after all, Ruan Ruan once cared a lot about the Shen Family.

She longed for their attention and care and yearned for their familial love.

Back then, she married him at the Shen Family’s persuasion.

So in the past life, Ruan Ruan returned to the Imperial Palace under Shen Shi or the Shen Family’s persuasion, and Shen Shi’s presence there makes sense.

What happened next is even easier to guess.

The Insect Race invaded the Imperial Palace, and Shen Shi pushed Ruan Ruan off the city wall.

A powerless Ruan Ruan was killed by the Insect Race.

An absurd yet perfectly logical death truth.

The only question is, in the past life, he surely had a way to prevent this tragedy.

Then why didn’t he do it?

Lu Shinian lowered his eyes, tapped twice on the control panel with his fingertips, set the spaceship to automatic pilot mode, and after instructing 003 to monitor it, he left the cockpit.

Ten minutes later, outside Cheng Qingye’s door.

Lu Shinian raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Cheng Qingye had already sensed Lu Shinian coming to him through spiritual power, he quickly opened the door and said lightly, "Instead of being with my sister, what are you doing here?"

Lu Shinian closed the door, activated privacy mode, then enveloped the entire room with his spiritual power.

Cheng Qingye noticed his actions and sat up slightly straighter.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Shinian didn’t answer, he walked directly to the seat opposite Cheng Qingye and sat down.

It was a full minute later before he slowly opened his mouth, "I entered Ruan Ruan’s dream."

Cheng Qingye was stunned, then realized.

"You actually entered her dream?"

He became interested.

"What happened in the dream?"

Lu Shinian was silent for two seconds, then spoke again, "Ruan Ruan was killed by the Insect Race."

"Yes," Cheng Qingye replied, "That’s quite normal."

"In her past life, my sister couldn’t control her spiritual power; her power was an irresistible temptation to the Insect Race."

"You can’t blame us, the Insect Race, right?"

Cheng Qingye surprisingly defended the Insect Race.

"Not to mention those low-level Insect Clan acting purely on instinct; even the High-level Insect Race, or me, couldn’t resist the allure of my sister’s spiritual power."

Lu Shinian slowly lifted his eyes, looking at Cheng Qingye.

"In the dream, I killed all those insects."

Cheng Qingye spread his hands, "In the dream, do as you please, but in reality, you can’t do that."

"Although there are many of us in the Insect Race, we can’t withstand your constant killing."

Lu Shinian didn’t intend to discuss matters between the Insect Race and humans today.

The reason he came wasn’t to discuss this with Cheng Qingye.

"I must have had a chance to save her," Lu Shinian said with certainty.

Cheng Qingye’s interest grew, "How so?"

"The upper echelon," Lu Shinian spat out three words, lowering his voice, "controls everything in their hands."

He was, as was Cheng Qingye.

Cheng Qingye understood a little of what Lu Shinian meant.

In the past life, although Lu Shinian went out to resist the Insect Race, he surely had a complete grasp of his sister’s situation.

This is the common flaw of all upper echelons.

Since it was within grasp, the tragedy that ensued was entirely due to Lu Shinian’s choice, or perhaps some other accident occurred.

Cheng Qingye was more inclined towards the latter.

He understood Lu Shinian’s obsession with his sister; he couldn’t have done something like watching her die without helping, so something unexpected must have happened to cause the tragedy back then.

With that in mind, Cheng Qingye asked again, "Do you want to investigate what caused that accident?"

Lu Shinian fell silent.

"My sister surely wouldn’t know about that accident either," Cheng Qingye crossed his hands, lost in thought, "So entering dreams won’t work."

"It seems the truth will be buried in the past."

Cheng Qingye felt a bit regretful, but didn’t dwell too much on it.

After all, for him, the present well-being of his sister was the best outcome.

Lu Shinian remained silent.

Cheng Qingye rambled on for a while, and seeing no reaction from Lu Shinian, he pressed on, "So why did you come to me today?"

"I don’t have the ability of Time Space Reversal anymore."

Such a defying skill can only be used once in a lifetime.

He had already used it once, so naturally it couldn’t be used again.

Lu Shinian slowly shook his head, softly saying, "That’s not why I came."

"Then what is it?" Cheng Qingye was genuinely curious.

"Was Ruan Ruan afraid of me before?" Lu Shinian asked an odd question.

Cheng Qingye’s mouth twitched.

"I think you need to understand something."

Cheng Qingye leaned slightly forward, looking seriously at Lu Shinian.

"In a past life, I wasn’t by my sister’s side."

"Before her death, I didn’t even know she had left Tianhe Star."

"I knew nothing about her previous experiences."

Lu Shinian seemed not to hear Cheng Qingye’s explanation, only muttering, "She must have been very afraid of me."

Cheng Qingye: ...

He felt speechless for the first time.

"Does this have anything to do with the truth of her death?" he asked, puzzled and speechless.

Lu Shinian lowered his gaze, no longer looking at Cheng Qingye.

Crossing his hands together, his thumbs rubbed the spot between them, his Adam’s apple moving up and down.

What couldn’t be hidden under the collar showed a few red marks.

Those were marks that Su Ruan left on him.

Of course, he left quite a few on her as well.

These red marks seemed to speak of the love and passion between them, while emotions like fear and dread never seemed to exist between them.

But Lu Shinian knew very well, Ruan Ruan once must have been very afraid of him.

Every choice would steer the story to a different conclusion; Lu Shinian attempted to trace back the path of Ruan Ruan, who feared him in the past life.

After a long silence, Lu Shinian’s low and hoarse voice broke the silence in the deathly quiet room.

"No accident."

It was he who made the wrong choice.
