Chapter 86 The Savior Whose Glory Was Stolen Is Reborn and Rekindles Their Fate...

Si Qi was awakened by Chu Feng. He was still groggy when he woke up and wasn't ready to get out of bed when he was carried to the washstand.

Chu Feng may have a cool and aloof demeanor, but when taking care of Si Qi, he's like an experienced male mother. He skillfully wipes Si Qi's face with a warm towel, then hands him mouthwash and gently tells him not to drink it.

Si Qi leaned lazily against Chu Feng's chest, not wanting to get up. He had been watching a sweet drama (?) all night, and he felt he could take another nap in Chu Feng's arms.

Chu Feng held Si Qi as easily as a mother hen carrying her chicks, one hand holding Si Qi in her arms while the other hand picked out clothes for Si Qi from the closet in Si Qi's room next door.

Si Qi was exceptionally obedient. He would raise his arm or stretch his leg whenever Chu Feng asked him to. After getting dressed, he was still drowsy and received a comforting pat on the head from Chu Feng.

Chu's mother wanted to come over and help Chu Feng, but she didn't have a chance to do anything. She watched the two brothers interact with a smile on her face. She took pictures of the two brothers with her phone, and after taking the pictures, she said to Chu Feng, "Breakfast is ready. I didn't know what Xiao Qi liked to eat, so I made a few extra dishes."

Chu Feng nodded, skillfully picked Si Qi up and carried him downstairs to the restaurant for a meal.

Si Qiren was still lying in Chu Feng's arms, unwilling to get up. This body had lived for more than ten years, and basically slept until it naturally woke up. Making it to get up at six o'clock in the middle of the night was simply "torture".

Mr. Chu was sitting at the dining table reading the newspaper when he saw Si Qi appear, nestled against Chu Feng, looking half asleep. He chuckled, put down his newspaper, and said with a smile, "Is this child still sleeping?"

Chu Feng was very self-disciplined from a young age, and after awakening his memories of his past life, he maintained a regular daily routine, requiring no worry from his parents.

Chu's parents, on the other hand, had a habit of sleeping in late. However, after Chu Feng's identity was announced in the clan, to prevent them from having a negative influence on him, the clan elders specifically sent someone to warn them against showing any bad habits in front of Chu Feng, such as gambling, infidelity, or domestic violence. Sleeping in until late morning or staying up late with friends would also be subtly mentioned. Therefore, seeing Si Qi acting so spoiled and lazy in bed was quite a novelty in the Chu family.

Chu Feng took the milk and placed it in Si Qi's hand, intending for him to drink it himself. However, seeing Si Qi's sleepy appearance, Chu Feng worried that with such a large opening, Si Qi might spill the milk on himself while drinking.

Seeing this, Mr. Chu smiled and said, "Just put a straw in, and he'll drink it by himself."

As they were talking, Chu's mother and father, thinking the same thing, had already handed the straw to Chu Feng and said with a smile, "Kids are all like that."

Chu Feng paused as he reached out to take the straw, suddenly remembering how his milk cups used to come with a straw when he was a child.

However, after he regained his memories of his past life, he was able to earn his own living, whether it was drinking milk or eating steak. Things like putting a straw in the milk cup or serving the steak to him only after it was cut up never happened again.

Chu Feng put the straw into the cup, and Si Qi took the cup and gulped down the milk. Sure enough, the more he drank, the more awake he became. He picked up a small bread roll from the plate and ate it bite by bite.

The two parents sitting opposite Si Qi subconsciously focused their attention on him. As they looked at him, they couldn't help but smile with affection. They pushed all the bread, butter, and other things on the table toward Si Qi, and their tone naturally turned into a soft, affected voice: "Little Qi is so great, he can eat breakfast by himself. This jam was made by Auntie herself. It's fragrant and sweet, and very appetizing. Little Qi, would you like to try some?"

Si Qi held a loaf of bread in his hands, his mouth bulging as he ate, his head bowed in focused concentration, looking like a soft, fluffy little hamster. Hearing Chu's mother ask, Si Qi nodded, indicating he wanted some.

Seeing this, Chu's mother put down the breakfast she hadn't touched, stood up, cut bread for Si Qi, spread jam on it, and handed it to him. She looked so expectant that she almost wanted to feed Si Qi herself.

Seeing Si Qi take it, Chu's mother's eyes lit up. She took the opportunity to pat Si Qi's head and instructed, "Just tell Auntie what you want, and Auntie will get it for you."

Si Qi's eyes curved into crescent moons, and his youthful face radiated an incredibly innocent smile.

Chu's mother was instantly captivated. She returned to her seat, her face beaming with undisguised delight, as if she could be satisfied just by watching Si Qi eat.

Just then, Chu Feng's subordinate rushed in from outside. Seeing this, Chu's parents habitually put down their cutlery, preparing to leave the table to avoid suspicion, depending on the situation.

The subordinate hurriedly replied, "This morning, Xuanwu, the patriarch of the Xuan family, arrived in Luowan City to pick up a young man named Siqi to visit the clan."

As soon as the words were spoken, almost everyone understood what the other person meant—the person personally greeted by the Xuanwu Clan Chief was very likely the real savior.

Chu Feng took a laptop from his subordinate, looked at the footage recorded from the live stream, and raised an eyebrow slightly.

The image is slightly blurry, but the boy's figure and facial features are still clearly visible.

Chu's parents wouldn't come over to investigate Chu Feng's work at this time, but Si Qi didn't have so many concerns. He leaned close to the screen and ate his jam bread with relish.

The subordinates felt a chill run down their spines at the sight, thinking to themselves that this kid was incredibly audacious.

However, Chu Feng didn't say anything to Si Qi. He simply raised his hand slightly to straighten Si Qi's body, which was almost lying in his arms. Si Qi suddenly said, "Brother."

Chu Feng hummed in response, thinking he was being called.

Si Qi pointed at the screen and said again, "Brother."

Chu Feng paused slightly in his arm-crossing gesture, turned his head, and said to Si Qi, "What?"

Si Qi: "Mom, brother."

His hand swept across Si's mother and Si Xin in the picture.

Chu Feng's expression changed slightly. He carefully observed Si Xin's facial features, then turned his head to look at Si Qi. He found that although the two were different in height and appearance, they were just a difference between a grown-up version and a smaller version.

They are indeed very similar.

The subordinate paused for a moment, then belatedly realized this, and hesitantly revealed the information he had just gathered about Si Xin: "The Si Qi in the picture is from a collateral branch of the Si family. He was diagnosed with S-level aptitude at the age of six, and he also has a twin brother with B-level aptitude..." He briefly recounted Si Xin's growth over the years, and then looked at Si Qi, adding, "It is said that his twin brother was diagnosed with autism at birth and has lived a secluded life for over ten years, never appearing in public. I haven't heard that their parents had another son."

After listening, Chu Feng asked again, "Seventeen years old?"

“Yes,” the subordinate replied, “He’ll be of legal age in a few months.”

Chu Feng remained silent.

He's seventeen and about to become an adult, exactly the same age Si Qi had when he had his bone age checked yesterday.

They are both of the same Si family bloodline and look exactly alike. They have a brother who has been imprisoned in a certain place for many years and is unknown to outsiders.

Chu Feng tapped the table with his finger and said to Si Qi, "Are they your twin brother and mother?"

Si Qi hummed in agreement.

Now everyone realized that something was wrong.

The subordinates were puzzled as to why Si Qi's situation was different from what they had investigated, while Chu's parents recalled that Si Qi had been injected with drugs for a long time and had been abused by his family.

Chu Feng...

Chu Feng thought about how Si Qi called himself Si Qi instead of Si Xin, said he had an older brother but became the "older brother" in the data, how he clearly had SS-level qualifications but became B-level, and the so-called "autism and not showing his face to the public".

Chu Feng: "Are there any other videos?"

The subordinate moved the computer mouse and opened several other videos: "There's a video of the family of three going out to participate in an event, and there's also a video of Si Qi killing Zerg in the square yesterday at noon."

These videos are clearly clearer, making it even more obvious how similar the boy in the video looks to Si Qi.

The boy was simply taller and healthier, while Si Qi was severely malnourished, thin, and had dry, yellow hair, looking like a slum version of the former.

The video quickly played the scene of Si Qi killing the Zerg. The Zerg in the video were easily defeated and could not get close to the boy at all. Then, hundreds of Zerg suddenly froze, as if the Grim Reaper had taken away all their souls in an instant, and they all fell to the ground.

After Si Qi became famous throughout the entire Beast Star, this video was also played repeatedly on various radio stations and media outlets.

Even though his subordinates had watched the battle video several times, they still felt their scalps tingle when they saw it again—they had never even seen such a chilling battle scene with Chu Feng, yet that teenager had done it.

Chu Feng frowned. He remembered that when he first met Si Qi yesterday, Si Qi had annihilated that group of elite insectoids in the same way.

Chu Feng had never seen this unique method used by anyone else, which further confirmed that Si Qi was connected to that boy.

Could it be that Si Qi's parents concealed his aptitude level?

But why would they do that?

Seeing Chu Feng deep in thought, Si Qi tapped the screen again: "Me."

Chu Feng looked at Si Qi pointing at the boy in the picture and asked in confusion, "Isn't he your brother?"

Si Qi shook his head, tapped the screen again, and said, "Me."

Chu Feng and his men looked closely and saw Si Qi pointing at the suitcase, which was neither too big nor too small.

Before my mind could process what had happened, a chill ran down my spine.

The subordinate blurted out, "You mean, you were in that suitcase at the time?!"

Si Qi nodded and said, "In the box, kill the bugs."

The subordinate looked bewildered, but quickly remembered something. He borrowed a laptop and pulled up many photos of "Si Qi". He found that "Si Qi" was carrying a suitcase with him on several occasions when he went out. Based on the changes in his clothing, the time span was at least a year.

The subordinate couldn't help but shudder. Looking at the size of the box, and then at Si Qi's obviously overly thin body, he felt a chill run down his spine—they were twins! The difference in size was terrifying.

Because of their social standing, Chu's parents had been strictly warned by the clan leader and others not to interfere with Chu Feng's work, and even more so not to verbally influence him. But having listened in for so long, and with the topic related to Si Qi, the two parents were getting restless. They cautiously asked from the side, "What's going on? Why was Xiao Qi locked in a suitcase? And what about all those injuries on his body…?"

Chu Feng remained expressionless, his brows furrowed tightly.

He didn't know why Xuanwu thought the boy was Si Qi, but if the boy in front of him wasn't lying and it was all true, then the Si Qi in his memory would never have done such a thing as misattributing someone to another, let alone abuse his twin brother.

He gestured for his men to bring him the phone, found Xuanwu's number, and dialed it himself.

Chu's parents, quite self-aware, came over and took Si Qi away. Their subordinates silently followed behind the couple, partly to exchange pleasantries with their superior's family, and partly to keep an eye on them and prevent them from leaking the news.

What if Chu Feng orders that this matter must not be leaked, and then Chu's parents happen to be talking about it with someone during that time?

Those are the blood relatives of the officer in this body. We can't really lock them up in jail and deal with them according to the rules. It's better to be the bad guy now so as not to make things difficult for this family in the future.

The call was answered, and Xuanwu didn't exchange pleasantries with Chu Feng. He went straight to the point, his attitude not warm: "What is it?"

"Are you sure that person is 'Si Qi'?"

"It's none of your business," Xuanwu said coldly.

You may have mistaken someone for someone else.

"So what if I admit my mistake? It's just a matter of putting in a little effort." Xuanwu didn't want to tell Chu Feng that he had already made contact with Si Qi's spiritual power on that plaza. He was certain that the other's spiritual power fluctuations were exactly the same as in his memory—so aloof and powerful, looking down on the entire world like a god. Who else but Si Qi could possess such a state of mind? Even he, who had lived for hundreds of years, couldn't do it.

Xuanwu said coldly, "Don't point fingers at me."

“I need to verify his identity so that I can meet with him,” Chu Feng said.

“No need for you to worry, I can take good care of him.” Xuanwu sneered when he saw that Chu Feng had indeed asked to see Si Qi, “Back then, you asked me to introduce you to him…”

Then, in the blink of an eye, this cunning fellow stole his positions on both sides, forcing him to leave the royal city several times and work in the outer outposts for many years.

If it weren't for Chu Feng, if it weren't for Chu Feng...

Xuanwu's expression grew increasingly gloomy as he thought about it. He turned away, not wanting Si Qi beside him to see his bad side, and warned Chu Feng again: "Don't even think about sowing discord this time."

Chu Feng: "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Ha!" Xuanwu was filled with hatred and hung up the phone, covering his face with his hand.

Centuries of patience and waiting have made it difficult for him to control his emotions at this moment.

Si Xin had been secretly monitoring Xuanwu's condition. Seeing that Xuanwu looked displeased, she approached him cautiously and asked, "Are you alright?"

Xuanwu's expression immediately brightened, and he smiled at Si Xin: "It's nothing, I just ran into an annoying guy."

Si Xin was surprised that the rumored big shot would talk to him about such a topic in such a gentle and intimate tone. He was a little excited and tentatively asked, "What kind of person is he? You are so kind to him, and he still bothers you. He is really inconsiderate."

Xuanwu wholeheartedly regarded Si Xin as Si Qi, and the thought that the once high and mighty Si Qi was now speaking to him in such a manner filled him with increasing pleasure. He began to subtly and overtly sow discord between Si Xin and Si Qi, determined to ensure that Si Qi would have a negative first impression of Chu Feng in this life, and never again regard Chu Feng with the same esteem as in his previous life.

Of course, he didn't dare to say too much, fearing that Si Qi would realize his little scheme after recalling his past life memories. He just belittled Chu Feng, saying that he was scheming, while showing how much he cared about Si Qi and how much he cherished him. He displayed all his tenderness and affection to Si Xin without any concealment.

Si Xin was indeed deeply moved, and his gaze toward Xuanwu became even more affectionate and trusting.

Xuanwu felt a tingling sensation all over his body from that gaze, and couldn't help but regard Si Qi as his own possession, resolutely refusing to let any other scheming individuals get close.

...

Chu Feng, who was "plotting something," was suddenly hung up on. Looking at the black screen, he knew perfectly well that Xuanwu was only thinking about taking advantage of his proximity and wouldn't listen to him at all. No matter what he said, he thought that Xuanwu was trying to sow discord.

In this situation, even if he went to Xuanwu's door in person, Xuanwu would stay inside and hide him away from him. This twisted personality has become increasingly pathological over the past few hundred years.

Chu Feng already disliked this guy who always acted like he was something else whenever he saw him, so this gave him the last thought of continuing to interact with him.

Putting down his phone, Chu Feng stared blankly at the suddenly empty dining table in front of him.

Even though he had said countless times that they didn't need to be particularly discreet, the two parents would just smile apologetically and do the same thing next time. Chu Feng could only ask the housekeeper to invite his parents back and sit at the table to wait for them to return.

By the time they returned, breakfast was already cold.

Si Qi sat at the dining table, watching the orc subordinates walk away silently not far away, and then looked at Chu's parents, who seemed calm and didn't think anything was wrong. Seeing the family of three tacitly avoiding talking about what had just happened, Si Qi realized that beneath the seemingly warm and harmonious exterior of this family, there were already countless holes inside.

Chu's parents treated their son like royalty, and Chu Feng felt out of place in his new family. Perhaps they each had their own reasons, but Si Qi was going to live here, and he didn't like this atmosphere.

After dinner, Chu Feng took Si Qi to the base. Even though it was only a short walk from the front door to the car, Si Qi was breathless and pale.

Mr. Chu finally understood why Chu Feng had been carrying Si Qi everywhere yesterday, and said with heartache, "Little Qi, this won't do."

Chu Feng: "Take it slowly, it will get better."

Seeing how much Chu Feng cared for Si Qi, Chu's father said enthusiastically, "You're usually so busy and don't have time to take care of the child. When we're at the base, let me take care of this child. I'll definitely take good care of him."

Chu Feng thought for a moment and shook his head: "I will personally take care of him."

With his double S-rank aptitude and only a few months left until adulthood, we must seize the time to lay a solid foundation for Si Qi before he comes of age, so that his awakening is not perfect and such excellent aptitude is not wasted.

Mr. Chu didn't understand why Chu Feng insisted on taking him along, assuming it involved the savior who had been taken away by the Xuanwu clan chief. He nodded to indicate that he understood.

The conversation ended there, and silence returned to the car. The father and son sat in silence, long accustomed to this situation. Si Qi leaned against Chu Feng, who had given him a lollipop, which he happily ate.

Perhaps because this body has hardly ever eaten anything delicious, it is particularly sensitive to taste stimuli. Whether Si Qi is drinking milk or eating candy, he can taste extraordinary deliciousness.

His inner emotions were honestly displayed on his face; his joy and satisfaction were immediately apparent. The way he held the candy, head bowed and focused intently on it, resembled a little hamster crunching away at sunflower seeds.

Mr. Chu couldn't help but say, "No matter what the child eats, it always tastes especially delicious."

“That’s right,” Chu Feng continued, “Children have a high sensitivity to taste, but this function declines as they grow older, and by old age they basically only have half of what they had before.”

Knowing that Chu Feng had experienced aging and death, and had also relived his childhood, Chu's father was certainly qualified to speak on this matter. He said knowingly, "No wonder I haven't been able to taste anything these past few years. It's because I'm getting old."

He recalled that he disliked coffee as a child, always finding it bitter, but suddenly developed a liking for it as an adult. Perhaps it wasn't because he had matured, but rather because his sense of taste had become less sensitive, allowing him to tolerate that level of bitterness.

Chu Feng looked up at his father, who was sitting opposite him, saying that he was getting old without a care in the world, and said silently, "If the food is not to your liking, you can ask the chef to make some fresh dishes."

Mr. Chu smiled and said, "Over the years, your mother and I have eaten all sorts of good food, so it shouldn't have anything to do with meals."

He didn't care much about things like enjoying life; otherwise, he wouldn't have held a minor, sinecure in the clan and gone to work on time every day. As Chu Feng's biological father, even if he did nothing, he would still be a great contributor to the clan, and no one would mistreat him.

Chu Feng remained silent after hearing this, wondering what the orcs could do about aging. It was a natural phenomenon that even a savior with absolute power and authority could not escape. He could only say, "Have the chef prepare more of your favorite dishes."

Mr. Chu smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."

That being said, there will definitely still be many of Chu Feng's favorite foods on the table, while they can eat whatever they want.

Chu Feng could already foresee what would happen after his father agreed, and suddenly lost the will to continue. The feeling of wanting to say something but knowing it would be useless completely extinguished his desire to talk.

He ruffled Si Qi's hair, and after the car arrived at the base, he carried Si Qi out of the car.

The clan chief was waiting at the base early in the morning to talk to Chu Feng about the savior. After Chu's father saw the clan chief, he greeted him and then left on his own.

Chu Feng carried Si Qi and led the clan leader to the conference room. The clan leader looked at the child in Chu Feng's arms and was about to ask Chu Feng why he brought the child to such a private meeting when he noticed that Si Qi's appearance was very similar to the protagonist in the video he had watched countless times. He then asked, "Who is this child?"

Chu Feng: "The twin brother of the person who was taken away by Xuanwu."

The clan chief had clearly done his homework; upon hearing this, he realized something was amiss and looked at Si Qi, saying, "He's the younger brother?"

Chu Feng nodded: "That person might not be the savior."

The clan chief never expected that the Xuanwu clan chief, who was rumored to care deeply about the savior and had been silently waiting for him for hundreds of years, would mistake him for someone else. After a moment of astonishment, he believed his ancestor's words.

After all, according to rumors, not only did the Xuan family patriarch show great concern for the savior and remain chaste for him for hundreds of years, but this ancestor before them also cared a great deal about the savior.

Gossiping about the scandalous affairs of the ancients is human nature, no matter the world. We've all heard plenty of stories about the secrets between the savior and the clan leaders—things like ministers vying for his favor, seduction by beauty, singing and displaying feathers in front of the savior during their heat—all told in great detail.

Everyone knew this, and it was widely discussed in private. Even in class, teachers would enthusiastically discuss the interesting stories between these ancient figures.

However, as curious as one might be, it wouldn't be appropriate to actually meet the person in question and ask if they truly harbored a secret crush on the savior and planned to reunite with him after reincarnation.

So the clan chief was secretly curious. Looking at the ancestor in front of him who was older and more experienced than him, he subconsciously thought that since this person loved the savior so much, he would definitely be able to recognize the savior's identity at a glance. If he said that person might not be the savior, then he definitely wasn't.

The clan chief said, "You said that you awakened your past life memories when you were six years old. Could it be that the savior has also awakened his memories?"

Chu Feng: "Possibly."

Chieftain: "In that case, you should be able to recognize him easily, right? What kind of person is he?"

What kind of person is the savior Si Qi?

Ever since Chu Feng regained his memories of his past life, countless people have inquired about this matter with him, both openly and secretly.

Even though black-and-white cameras and audio tapes had already appeared when the savior passed away, and appearance and voice could be filled in by audio and video recordings left over from hundreds of years ago, personality and conduct could only be imagined through vague oral traditions passed down from ancestors.

However, the people of that era were so fanatical in their worship of Si Qi that they were almost insane. The evaluations of Si Qi that people left behind were all mythologized to an inhuman degree, and they sounded unreliable. How could later generations dare to believe them?

Therefore, Chu Feng, the ancestor who had spent every day with the savior, naturally became a reliable source for them to obtain firsthand information. What he said was definitely more reliable than the information left by those fanatical fans.

So, what kind of person was the savior at that time?

Chu Feng recalled.

With unparalleled combat prowess and a hardworking and tolerant personality, despite possessing supreme power and the ability to easily obtain everything in the world, he devoted most of his time to helping the orc people live better lives.

Chu Feng had almost never seen Si Qi enjoy himself. He was a selfless person, so selfless that he could be described as a person without desires or wants, or even closer to a god.

The feeling of seeing everything clearly and taking it all seriously, yet being unable to truly enter his heart, was too intense. Chu Feng had countless times thought that this was a god who had descended from the heavens, born specifically to save them. Once the god had completed his mission and left this world, no matter how reluctant those around him were to let him go, he would feel no regret whatsoever.

Many people said that he liked Si Qi, and he did not deny it. Or rather, at that time all the beastmen longed for Si Qi's favor, just like believers faithfully worshipping their gods.

For him, paying attention to Si Qi and giving everything for Si Qi was as natural as breathing. Every day when he opened his eyes, the first thing he thought about was how to better follow him.

Therefore, he never felt that it was necessary for those people to go to great lengths to find out about Si Qi and think about how to curry favor with him in the future. If Si Qi really appeared, it wouldn't be long before they became just like they were back then, their minds filled with admiration, and they wouldn't be thinking about anything else, plotting how to use Si Qi to achieve their own goals.

Everyone else was just an ordinary, unremarkable believer.

Chu Feng: "He is a very special person. Even in a crowd, he would definitely be the most eye-catching one."

The clan chief was incredibly curious: "For example?"

“He possesses a divine quality, caring for everything around him, kind and tolerant, yet never indulging in pleasures. He has no attachment to food, beauty, power, or wealth, and his eyes are always indifferent.” He looked down at Si Qi, who was sitting in his lap, enjoying a lollipop, and said calmly and confidently, “That godlike attitude of controlling the whole situation and looking down on everything could only appear in him.”

Seeing how certain Chu Feng was, the clan chief exclaimed in admiration, "You really know him well. If he appeared before you, I'm sure you would recognize him at a glance."

Chu Feng replied calmly, "Of course."

He wasn't like that fool Xuanwu, who couldn't even recognize who the savior was.

Author's Note: --

Chu Feng: "That was a being without desires or wants."

47(*≧▽≦): "Yeah, yeah, I used to not care about anything! Ah, I've finished my lollipop, let me have another one~"

Chu Feng: "…………"
