How to Feed an Abyss!

or, and ordered to the guards: “Invite General Su over.”

Two minutes later, Su Enqi stood in front of their house.

Shi Yuan poked his head from the study and watched in secret.

He hadn’t seen him for more than a year.
Su Enqi had more gray hair and his back was bent even more – he looked a lot older.

From a procedural point of view, he retired honorably, and he had a lot of benefits after retirement, and it could even be said that his old-age life was very nourishing.
But it was unknown if it was because of Jiang Huazhi’s trial, Su Liang’s sacrifice, or because a person like him who was extremely proud and stubborn, once he lost his power, once he was idle, would be worn down by time.

Since that day, Lu Tinghan had never seen Su Enqi again.

He didn’t know Su Enqi’s intentions, and asked, “General Su, what are you…”

“Even if I only want to talk about the old days, there are a hundred people blocking me, fearing that I, an old man, will try to do something wrong,” Su Enqi said, “General Lu, it’s not easy to see you.”

Lu Tinghan waited silently for his following.

Su Enqi looked at him and said, “I won’t talk nonsense.
‘Echo’ got a response, you are preparing for the “Deep Dive” plan, right?”

Lu Tinghan: “Yes.”

“If the Empire really exists, and if we will really go to Elton someday, we should start now and learn the topography along the way, the distribution of the Empire’s cities, including the defenses, landmarks, and resources they may have left behind,” Su Enqi said, “There isn’t much relevant information, and you’ve never even experienced a time when the Empire was still there.”

Lu Tinghan said: “The civilian staff is sorting out the information, and I will discuss the matter with other military officers.”

Su Enqi pulled the corner of his mouth: “Have you forgotten that there is another person, who is too old, old enough to have touched the Empire?”

Lu Tinghan: “……”

At this moment, he understood what Su Enqi meant.

Su Enqi still stared at him closely: “I am the one who knows the Empire best in the entire Alliance.
I have experienced the era of the Alliance and the Empire.
At that time, the end of the world had just begun, both sides were unwilling to cooperate and fought on their own, and the Alliance still studied and watched out for the Empire as its number one enemy – and I was part of it.
Later, when the war intensified, we began to cooperate and exchanged a lot of information before we lost contact, and I had knowledge of it.”

Lu Tinghan asked, “Do you remember this information? Can you still find relevant documents?”

“General Lu, after so many years, the documents are probably gone.
But I’m still around, and although I’m old, I’m not so old that I’ve forgotten it all,” Su Enqi’s eyes were bright, “I still have some skills that others don’t have.
I’m not considered useless, right?”

Lu Tinghan took a deep breath almost silently, and said in a low voice: “Maybe you don’t want to admit it, maybe it sounds hypocritical, but in my opinion, you have always been my teacher.
And I have never thought you were ‘useless’.”

Su Enqi said, “You did what you had to do.
I have been paying attention to you and supervising you at the same time.
In the end, I have to admit… Without you, I’m afraid Fengyang City wouldn’t have lasted even three months.
I can’t do this, only you can, only you can do it in this world.” He paused for a moment, “But that doesn’t mean I forgive you – although, you don’t need this kind of thing either.
I will not admit that you are my student, my friend, you are ‘General Lu’, nothing more.”

“…” Lu Tinghan asked, “Then, would you like to teach ‘General Lu’ again?”

Su Enqi looked at him and smiled suddenly, with deep wrinkles at the end of his eyes.
He said: “You are still the same as when you were a child, your eyes haven’t even changed… Monsters should be afraid of people like you.”

Su Enqi said again: “I am willing to tell you everything I know.
This matter has nothing to do with individuals, it’s just for the Alliance, understand?”

Lu Tinghan nodded: “I understand, just for the Alliance.”

Su Enqi: “Then, why don’t you let me find a place to sit down?”

Lu Tinghan smiled and made a gesture: “Please.”

Su Enqi entered the house.
He came prepared, holding a lot of handwritten manuscripts and notes in his hands, and without any nonsense, he went straight towards the study.

Shi Yuan was still in the study.

He was a little afraid of Su Enqi, so he quickly hid behind Lu Tinghan.

In order to protect Shi Yuan, only three people in the Alliance knew his identity – Lu Tinghan, Chai Yongning, and Professor Guan.
Su Enqi didn’t know about him, so he glanced at him a few times, a little surprised.

Shi Yuan’s tail curled up nervously, trying to run away and go to the bedroom to hide.

But Lu Tinghan hugged him.

He told Su Enqi: “I haven’t found a chance to introduce you.
This is Shi Yuan, my lover.”

Su Enqi studied Lu Tinghan’s expression.

He still knew his student, and only saw pure seriousness and honesty.
So he understood Lu Tinghan’s determination for this relationship.

He once thought that it was impossible for him to see this kind of thing in Lu Tinghan.

Su Enqi said, “Congratulations.” He nodded to Shi Yuan, “Nice to meet you, Shi Yuan.”
