Zhou Lian didn't need to waste much time. He only looked at it for a moment and realized that Valerdis was incompatible with the entire family next to him.

Whether it is the appearance of his facial features or the expression on his face, Valerdis shows a distance and silence that is inappropriate for his age.

The Duke of Easton obviously attaches great importance to Valerdis. In the photo, his ladies and gentlemen are all standing in the back row, and he is holding Valerdis's hand and standing in the middle of the whole family portrait.

Even his own insect cub just stood next to the first row.

As described by the elderly female insect, all the Duke's actions showed his extreme love and compassion for Valertis.

Zhou Lian moved his eyes to the rest of the insects in the photo.

In addition to Valertis, Duke Easton also has several insect cubs.

Valertis was already much taller than female insects of the same age when he was young. The insect cubs standing next to him were almost half a head shorter than Valertis.

Zhou Lian took a cursory look at the faces of the insect cubs. They all inherited Duke Easton's small eyes and wide chin. Standing side by side, they couldn't tell much difference.

Zhou Lian turned to the next page.

"The Duke of Easton has created countless happy homes for the wandering children of Mullister. He is also known as the most charitable male insect..."

"Unfortunately, the Duke suffered from major physical problems due to his excessive devotion to charity... He was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor at the age of sixty, which resulted in a large number of complications..."

"The Duke insisted on philanthropy and founded Horira Orphanage, Munchig Orphanage, etc... He adopted Valerdis when he was sixty-five years old..."

Zhou Lian's eyes paused for a moment. He turned to the front and found the orphanage where Valerdis was forcibly sent to when he first came to Mullister.

It was actually not an orphanage created by the state, but an orphanage built by private individuals.

Zhou Lian read down the line of words and finally found the name of the orphanage - Horila Orphanage.

Zhou Lian frowned imperceptibly.

Whether it is the discussion in the "Book of Famous Insects" or according to the accounts of the elderly female insects, Valerdis happened to be met by Duke Easton when he was wandering outside, and then he adopted him as his adopted son.

But based on the information in the book, Zhou Lian was skeptical of these descriptions.

The orphanage that Valertis was forced into and escaped from was founded by the Duke of Easton. The Duke may have had contact with Valerdis before he adopted him.

But it does not rule out that the Duke founded many orphanages, and he never paid attention to the situation of Valerdis.

Zhou Lian marked this part of the content and then read down the content.

The following content is similar to what the female insect told. In the end, the Duke of Easton was killed, the entire apartment was burned down, and the entire family also declined.

"Zena, Sean, Will and other female insects all joined the military when they grew up. The Duke's only male insect cub, Cordell, also moved away from the Emperor Star due to this incident and went to live in a place further away from the border... …”

Zhou Lian keenly noticed one of the names.

"The Duke's only male insect cub Cordel..."

The male that Naila has always loved is Cordel, and he is actually the male cub of this Duke of Easton?

Zhou Lian frowned unconsciously. When he was reading the novel, he had been subconsciously ignoring Cordell. Compared to the strength and ferocity of Valertis, Cordell always seemed mediocre.

He never interfered in the entanglement between Naila and Valertis, nor did he feel angry or unwilling to appear at Valerdis.

After Valertis completely became Naira's licking dog, Cordell even enjoyed Valertis's protection of him and Naira.

Zhou Lian felt weird about Cordel's behavior for a while, but the male insects in Pei Shuoyue's novels all died like this, so Zhou Lian didn't explore it too much.

Now Zhou Lian connected these clues and recalled the entire storyline, feeling a chill in his heart.

If Cordel in the novel is the same insect as Cordel, the Duke's male insect cub, then Naira's identity may not be as simple as it seems.

Could it be that Naira is approaching Valerdis with purpose...

The lights in the detention room suddenly went out, and at the same time, the last alarm of the night rang outside. A huge ear-piercing sound spread throughout the prison, and it took nearly a minute for it to slowly dissipate.

Zhou Lian's whole body was enveloped in the thick darkness in the space. He closed the book in his hand and stuffed the entire book under his pillow before going to sleep.

He looked to the side and saw Naila already wrapped in a quilt and lying on the bed.

Zhou Lian hid his doubts, took off his coat and turned over to lie on the bed.

Naila hates Valerdis. In addition to the superficial compulsion of Valletis on him, there should be deeper reasons.

Among those reasons, Cordell should be included.

Zhou Lian turned over, closed his eyes, and in a moment eliminated the previous interference, allowing himself to seize the time to fall asleep.

He only had six hours of sleep at most at night, and Zhou Lian would not use this precious time to think about these things.

After all, tomorrow is still long.

After the alarm bell ended, the footsteps of the military female quickly disappeared. The entire prison returned to rare silence and tranquility.

【Zhou Lian...Zhou Lian...】

Zhou Lian woke up from his light sleep. The voice in his mind was hoarse and erratic, like an illusory and unreal dream.

He heard a rustling sound next to him.

Zhou Lian turned his head silently, and through the wisps of moonlight pouring in from the window, he vaguely saw the shadow of an insect moving.

Naila was very good at hiding his aura, and he didn't even make the slightest sound when he walked. He turned around and slowly walked towards Zhou Lian.

Zhou Lian kept his original posture without moving. He stared at Naila and closed his eyes again when Naila came closer.

Naila stood in front of Zhou Lian for a while. When he saw that Zhou Lian showed no sign of waking up, he knelt down.

Zhou Lianquan relied on his mental power to sense Naira's whereabouts and movements. Naila fumbled under Zhou Lian's bed for a while, then took out something and put it in her pocket, then turned and left.

[Hehehe, it’s really interesting... He hid the perfume from you here. 】

Zhou Lian looked at Naila's figure. Naila sat beside his bed and had already begun to apply the previous perfume on her body.

Different from the colorless and odorless thing before, Zhou Lian lay on the bed and faintly smelled an indescribable fragrance in the air.

Zhou Lian covered his mouth and nose, the coldness in his eyes gradually spreading inside.

He closed his eyes and asked in his mind: "Tai?"

【Di. 】

Zhou Lian didn't say anything further. Dilala went to bed when it was time. Dilala always took advantage of this time to come out and say a few words to Zhou Lian.
