Previously, Cat Boss wasn't as scared hiding under the sofa now as it was during the nuclear fusion wolf explosion in the snowy wilderness of the Northern Border.

It buried its head, not daring to peek out.

It was truly afraid that Sigrid and Hyperion would decide to fight to the death tonight, or decide to fight over Lanqi to the death.

If it weren't for the Protos Royal Magic Academy's restriction barrier here, they probably would have already started fighting to the point where no one could stop them.

Their argument barely gave Lanqi a chance to speak.

In fact, if Lanqi interrupted, he would most likely be told to shut up in unison.

Because the core of their argument, once they were worked up, was no longer just about power, but about Lanqi's belonging—they were both convinced that Lanqi was theirs.

However, since they couldn't resolve the issue through arguing, they still needed Lanqi to answer it himself.

But answering this question would be suicide, wouldn't it?

Both were genuinely devoted to Lanqi.

If Lanqi chose to help Sigrid, he would hurt Hyperion; if he chose to help Hyperion, he would hurt Sigrid, and in the deepest, most irreparable way.

Helping both would be no different from adding fuel to the fire; they would definitely fight tonight.

And if he didn't help either or didn't make a choice, they would both be disappointed in Lanqi for being a coward at this moment.

This was a life-or-death question.

At this point, reasoning was meaningless; any choice would lead to an explosion, only varying in degree.

Cat Boss hid under the sofa, its heart beating faster and faster. The silence made it afraid, as if it could hear the heartbeats of the people, it couldn't help but pray that Lanqi would make a decision quickly. With every minute that passed, the chances of a complete breakdown tonight would increase.

The best outcome would be to confirm a relationship with one and draw a line with the other, but that would require absolute judgment and decisive resolution!

A cruel decision, not something a normal person could instantly figure out and make without hesitation.

But it still didn't hear Lanqi's response.

Normally, a person would be sweating profusely by now.

It wondered how Lanqi, who was always bold and daring, would handle this.

When Cat Boss peeked out again, both afraid and curious,

it discovered that Lanqi was indeed keeping silent.

But he was looking at them with a blank and innocent expression, looking very sad.

As if asking them, what are you doing?

“?!”

Cat Boss's eyes twitched as it watched. It didn't know if Lanqi truly didn't understand that the two girls were about to fight because of him, or if he was pretending to be an innocent, pure white flower.

You're the male lead script, not the female lead script!

Cat Boss felt that it had been blind to think of this guy as the male lead of a youth romantic comedy and watch over his story.

"Saint, don't even think about trying to fool me at this point. Playing pitiful won't work."

Sigrid shook her head, as if she had already seen through him,

"If I fight with her, who will you protect? Answering this question is enough."

Sigrid looked directly into Lanqi's eyes and asked.

She had always believed that her Saint would never abandon her. Now, she couldn't accept that the Saint would stand against her because of another woman.

"..."

Hyperion pursed her lips and looked at Lanqi. She knew that Lanqi was pretending to be pure at this moment, but since things had come to this, she also wanted an answer.

Other girls might have been fooled by Lanqi and softened their hearts towards him, but she understood Lanqi too well.

When she and Sigrid jointly raised that question, there was no turning back.

Lanqi looked at the two girls, still unable to say who he would protect.

His eyes seemed to be saying, how should I convey it?

In the quiet room, the sound seemed to be interrupted by a strong wind.

Gloria sat on the edge of the sofa, not daring to make a sound, she could only fumble for the melon seeds on the coffee table, pretending that her attention was not on the three of them. The Bishop and Saint's emotional entanglements were not something she could interfere with.

She realized that although the Saint had unique talents, he was the least adept at handling chaotic situations!

His mind was all on his career, and he didn't have enough women around him, so it was normal that he didn't know how to deal with women.

When two girls ask you about matters of sovereignty, the worst thing you can do is to show indecisive cowardice, as that will only disappoint both sides to the extreme!

Rather than hesitating, it's better to state your position and tell them who you will help, at least allowing people to see that you are a man with your own opinions, and you can also gain the favor of that side.

The most annoying thing is this kind of man who is neither decisive nor completely a scumbag, stuck in the middle!

Just like that, until Sigrid's eyes gradually filled with impatience, and Hyperion's eyes were already tinged with a hint of sadness, gradually about to shift their gaze away from him.

"..."

Lanqi had already slowly shifted his gaze away.

He looked at the ground in the corner, his eyes filled with incomprehension,

"I thought that after meeting someone important, meeting someone who needed to be protected all the time, no matter how difficult the road ahead in this empire was, I could persevere... But, why..."

Lanqi lowered his head, his face flashing with a kind of ununderstood loneliness.

Like a naturally innocent girl who couldn't understand the source of this dispute, looking troubled and difficult, and as if waiting for one of them to comfort him first.

Gloria shook her head as she listened to Lanqi's response.

It was no use pretending to be pitiful at this time, it would only make them even angrier.

However.

Contrary to Gloria's expectations.

"..."

Sigrid and Hyperion both quieted down, as if thinking about a certain question.

Gloria frowned tightly, staring at the subtle change in the atmosphere between the three.

She covered her head for a moment, feeling itchy, not knowing what had happened.

At this moment, Sigrid and Hyperion,

although their expressions were different, their thoughts were surprisingly similar.

First of all, setting aside Lanqi's usual tea flavor...

Which of them was the important person Lanqi mentioned, and who was the one he wanted to protect?

Recalling Lanqi's hesitant appearance just now, unable to step forward to protect them, they both inexplicably felt somewhat relieved.

As expected, I am the more important person, and she is the one who needs to be protected.

Calming down and thinking about the process of the argument just now, they had indeed not given Lanqi a chance to explain, so it was normal for him to be hurt.

Looking at Lanqi like this, after the flames of anger had subsided slightly, guilt welled up in their hearts.

If they were to be fierce to him again at this time, while the other woman lowered her stance to comfort him, even if they had the upper hand, they might lose everything.

"...?!"

Cat Boss stared dumbfounded at the increasingly easing atmosphere.

No way, Teacher Lan?

He can really appease both of them?!

He might just gain confidence from this extreme operation.

At that time, even if there were more Tatas, he probably wouldn't be afraid at all!
