Chapter 41

In the comic, poor Little Ji finally couldn't stand the acting clan leader's enthusiasm, and with a "pop" sound, he pulled himself out and scurried around the house on his short legs. He barely took two steps before being scooped up again by a large hand.

"Jiji!" The two short legs kept struggling in the air, but it was all in vain.

The acting clan leader, who appeared cold, ruthless, and ferocious to the outside world, now had a heartbroken expression. He held the little white ball in his arms, tears welling up in his eyes. "Wow, wow, little one, please don't stay so far away from grandpa."

…

[Hahaha, what a huge difference! He was a grumpy old man one second, but after seeing the little brat, he turned into a kind old grandfather.]

[Hahahaha, so it's...wait, grandpa? You told me he's a grandfather?]

[With this face and this physique, you're telling me he's a grandfather?]

[Actually, it's not that Grandpa is incompetent... his filial piety has been distorted from the beginning.jpg]

【The one upstairs, put on some pants! 】

【Put on some pants! 】

Mo Xuanji held her phone in one hand, scrolling through the pages with a constant expression of "subway, elderly, cell phone." The system watched from the side, commenting occasionally, then shaking its head and sighing, "Ah, young people these days."

When it came to the part where they asked for names, netizens laughed even louder.

[This is hilarious! I just finished saying that no one with the last name Chen is a good person, and then the younger generation who was admiring me said: My last name is Chen.]

[Hahahaha, at this moment, the old man just wants to escape from the earth overnight]

[Little Ji on the side: I can't bear to watch. Covering my face with my wings.jpg]

[Sister Chen and that person both have the surname Chen. I bet they're definitely related.]

[Oh my god, it turns out Xuanji has only had her grandma by her side since she was little. Woohoo, my poor little thing.]

【Heartache plus one】

[Does this mean we're heading to the Feather Tribe? Are we opening a new map? Old thief, hurry up and draw!]

After Yan explained everything, he left, and the ward returned to peace.

At this moment, Mo Xuanji was concentrating on dealing with the feather left by Yan, and did not notice the longing eyes of his friend behind him.

"Ji?" Perhaps because they were too close, Mo Xuanji finally became alert.

"Hehe, Xuanji, um... can we..." The two cute little friends rubbed their hands and smiled flatteringly.

"Ji!" Xiaoji expressed double rejection with his voice and body language with a wooden face.

[I know this question. A single negation expresses negation, and a double negation expresses agreement. Xiaoji clearly just wants to touch me!]

【I understand, you're trying to refuse but still accept, right?】

Mo Xuanji sighed inwardly. Perhaps he'd seen it so many times that he'd become numb to it, but this time he didn't feel particularly ashamed.

"How do you feel now?"

"That's good. Maybe I have developed a strong heart." Mo Xuanji said expressionlessly.

…

Zhu Changan started talking about Yuheng while peeling an apple. It was the first time Shen Liuxue had heard of the name, and she immediately became interested. Xiaoji, standing nearby, seemed tired from standing for so long and squatted down.

As they chatted, Zhu Changan's thoughts couldn't help but wander.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that the aura of this big man was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. He had vaguely felt this way when they first met.

But Zhu Changan quickly rejected this idea.

How could he possibly know such a mysterious boss? If he had really met such a person in the past, he would definitely not forget it.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and threw the random thoughts out of his mind.

[Baby, trust your instincts! I bet you two know each other!]

[Could it be that Changan and Yuheng really knew each other? But Changan just doesn't remember?]

[It's possible. Since the first episode, Chang'an has encountered danger twice, and each time, the boss appeared when he was about to give up. Thinking about it this way... could it be that the boss has been keeping an eye on him?]

[The boss is probably training Chang'an. It's like giving special training to a junior. Usually, he lets the junior face danger and hone himself, but if his life is in danger, Yuheng, as a senior, will immediately save him.]

[Don't forget, Chang'an's identity and background are still a mystery. We only know that his parents are both deceased.]

【Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true】

[Hiss~ Terrifying when you think about it]

While netizens' analysis makes sense, the reality is far from what they imagine. The first rescue was a system attempt to exploit the comic's protagonist, and it happened to be stuck in that timeframe. The second rescue was simply Mo Xuanji connecting to the vest only when he was practically at the point of collapse, and by then everyone else had pretty much reached their limits.

In a word, the process is completely right but the result is completely wrong.

[To be honest, I think Yuheng's wife might be related to Xuanji. Their eye shapes are almost the same, but Xuanji's are slightly rounder.] [Screenshot of Mo Xuanji's eyes] [Screenshot of Yuheng's eyes]

That one comment instantly chilled Mo Xuanji's heart. What was going on? Had they figured it out? "System..."

"Don't be afraid, no one can take off your mask while I am here." The system said confidently.

[Could it be that Yuheng and Xuanji are actually...]

Could it be…?

[Could it be…]

【(Quick answer) It’s a father-son relationship! 】

[I second the motion]

"?" Mo Xuanji couldn't help but lean back. So after all this nervousness, netizens came up with this? How could they possibly be father and son?

The system was obviously stunned. After a while, it let out a series of "hahahaha" sounds and said in a serious tone, imitating the other systems: "Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for achieving the 'I am my father' achievement. Please keep up the good work!"

He was just there to watch the fun and he even added fuel to the fire, using his energy to conjure up a bunch of small ribbons in front of him.

"That's enough." Mo Xuanji pinched his brow helplessly. His expectations of the idiotic netizens were indeed too high. ...and the system, too.

The last page of this chapter shows Wilde standing at the door on crutches, with a heavy expression on his face. A large shadow casts on him, as if foreshadowing something.

What happened to Mr. Wang's leg? He was still alive and kicking when the incident was over.

[What's going on? This expression doesn't look right. Could something have happened recently?]

Netizens clicked on the next page with doubts in their hearts.

The next second, the comment section was filled with colorful question mark emoticons.

Wilde approached with a heavy expression, as if something serious was about to happen. Just as the three protagonists were starting to get nervous, he flung his crutches aside with lightning speed, clung to his junior's thighs, and burst into tears like a faucet turned on full blast.

"Help me, junior!"

"Please stand up quickly, senior!!!" Zhu Changan was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly.

"Junior, you made it so hard for me to find you." Before the three of them could ask what happened, a dialog box suddenly hit Wilde's head.

The camera turned to the door as he turned his head stiffly.

In order to highlight the sense of oppression, the comics deliberately give an upward perspective.

A girl in Miao costume stood there against the light, her dark green eyes emitting a faint glow. In Wilde's eyes, she looked like a ghost from the underworld who came to take his soul away.

The identity of the visitor was written in the box on the side: Yang Qingyan, a fourth-year student at Penglai Academy.

[It's Senpai! Yay!]

Is this the intimidating power of a fourth-grade senior? Teacher Wang is so scared she's like a line drawing.

[Is it possible that Lao Wang ran here just to avoid this senior?]

[Three-person team: Don’t dare to move]

[Wait, is that something you can actually drink? Teacher Wang—Ah, she's unconscious.]

[Is this a revolving lantern? Hahahaha, so legs are so lame]

[The mysterious medicine is so terrifying! ]
