Chapter 1543: Chapter 1544: This World Is Really Damn Small
After carefully examining Little Hua, Li Qiyi slightly furrowed her brows and said, "This seems to be Fire Floss."
"This is the Fire Floss Crystal Card from UBS." You chuckled softly.
Upon hearing this, Li Qiyi’s eyebrows knitted immediately, and she asked, "Little Yun, how could you have something so precious!?"
You originally thought you’d have to explain the Fire Floss Crystal Card to your elder sister, but you didn’t expect Li Qiyi to recognize it.
"Sister, do you know the origin of this card?"
"Alpine Fire Floss is Switzerland’s national flower, crystal is the national stone of Switzerland and many European countries, and UBS is the general name for the Swiss Banking Group. The Fire Floss Crystal Card is a special card that only European aristocrats can hold; ordinary people haven’t even seen it."
Surprised, you asked, "Then how do you know about it, sister?"
At this point, Li Qiyi shrugged slightly and brushed her shoulder-length black hair, "When I was studying abroad in Europe, I met an interesting Dubai princess. We studied together for three months and spent two weeks at St. Paul Girls’ Middle School. During that time, I also met an interesting Swedish girl, oh, she’s now the Swedish Princess and about to become the Queen. Both of them have this Fire Floss Crystal Card in your hand."
"Snap!"
After hearing this, you gave a light tap on your forehead and sighed, "It’s such a small world, to bump into this."
"What are you saying?" Li Qiyi didn’t hear clearly because you spoke softly.
You shrugged, "Nothing, I was just saying, I didn’t expect my sister to be the real ’beauty with brains and wealth’."
Li Qiyi only smiled, "They’re just friends I get along with. Although we occasionally keep in touch, the distance makes meeting in the future an uncertainty. But you, how did you get this card, it can’t be that..."
"Hey, sister, don’t get me wrong. I got this card especially for you, and the cardholder is you, Li Qiyi!"
Startled by these words, Li Qiyi, who was poised to laugh, suddenly froze. Even Li Qiyi, hailed as a once-in-a-century genius at the Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, was momentarily dumbfounded by her brother.
After a long moment of daze, Li Qiyi looked at you and tentatively asked, "Little Yun, did you just say this card is for me?"
"Yes." You nodded solemnly.
"Who got it?"
"Of course, your brother, me!" You propped your chin with your hands, blinking and smiling brightly at Li Qiyi.
Those unaware of the card’s significance might not understand, but for Li Qiyi, who was once forcibly brought into the European aristocracy circle by two princesses, she knew better than any Huaxia person how profound the background and status required to obtain this card are.
"This is impossible!" Li Qiyi’s face immediately darkened, staring straight at you.
You hadn’t seen Li Qiyi in such a posture for many years. Growing up, it was only when you did something dangerous or reckless that she’d look at you this way to offer thoughts and behavioral guidance.
"Uh, sister, don’t look at me like that. I didn’t plan on hiding this from you, especially since mom and dad already know part of it."
Li Qiyi’s right eyebrow arched slightly, her clear eyes still sparkling with intelligence as she continued to look at you silently.
Faced with Li Qiyi like this, you felt overwhelmed, her gaze making you feel uneasy and restless.
Rubbing your forehead, you said to Li Qiyi, "Sister, before I tell you everything truthfully, you must agree to one thing."
"Tell me."
"Everything I’m about to say, you can’t disclose to anyone, whether it’s mom and dad or your future brother-in-law."
Li Qiyi wanted to counter the term "future brother-in-law," but decided against it as it wasn’t important, "Since you’ve said that, I agree."
You nodded, and continued, "I know, you all have always wanted to know where I’ve been and what I’ve done for the past six years. In the two months since I’ve returned, I’ve gradually told mom and dad some things, but I’ve only talked about the first three years. I didn’t dare tell them about the latter three, partly because I was worried they’d be concerned, and partly because they might misunderstand, so I’m telling only you this."
"Aren’t you worried that I’ll misunderstand you?"
You smiled slightly, "Even if the whole world abandons me, I believe my sister will understand my good intentions."
"Little Ghost Head, using such words to tease me." Li Qiyi habitually patted your head with a warm and teasing smile.
"Six years ago, because of someone’s departure, I fell into an unprecedented confusion. Later, I found Grandpa, and under Grandpa’s guidance, I left Yuhang with Grandpa Du from Nanjing. After that, I passed several special tests and successfully entered a special training camp in the Southeast Military District, where I underwent very harsh and rigorous training."
"It must have been tough?" Li Qiyi gently placed her hand over yours.
Looking at Li Qiyi, your face showed a serene smile and you shook your head slightly, "Although it was exhausting and I got seriously injured several times, I never had thoughts of giving up or felt it was hard. During the toughest and most grueling times, I finally understood my heart; the past was just my stubbornness, merely a promise from the past and childhood ignorance. I repeatedly told myself to live strongly and better than anyone else because I have parents who care for me and a sister who loves me in this world."
Looking at the brother she cared for since childhood, Li Qiyi felt a wave of mixed emotions, her usual eloquence deserted her and she only covered your hand with hers, letting her warmth convey her presence.
"After the training camp ended, only two teams were selected from the vast training camp, and I was part of one."
"Well done!" Li Qiyi finally smiled a brilliant smile.
"Later, under Grandpa Du’s introduction, I apprenticed under a great master. My mentor was a combat hero from the peaceful era. Under his guidance, I learned many things and often participated in highly challenging missions with him. Such missions could mean death at any moment, and even the so-called Phoenix master couldn’t escape."
"Don’t be too sad, after all, it’s all in the past now."
"I’m fine. I’m just sharing my past with you." Your smile was straightforward, "I never believed my mentor’s death. After painstakingly uncovering the truth, I found that my mentor and other countries’ special police formed a joint team to capture an extremely dangerous individual at a secret location. They were ultimately betrayed by a traitor from Yamato Nation, leading to the entire team’s annihilation."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiyi sensed a slight change in your aura. Even with her still weakened body, she felt the surrounding air turn cold.
"To hunt down that Yamato traitor and those villains, I clashed with the commanders in the military, and went solo into the Middle Eastern Desert. After over a month of meticulous preparation, I finally caught them all and tossed them into the Red Sea, feeding them to the sharks!"
