Chapter 88 The Savior Whose Glory Was Stolen Is Reborn and Rekindles Their Fate...

“Your talent is exceptional, but it’s clear in many ways that you fight based on instinct rather than a systematic approach.” Chu Feng put Si Qi down and pointed out the characteristics Si Qi had deliberately displayed during the battle. He then asked Si Qi, “Do you remember the moves I used when I fought them just now?”

Si Qi nodded, and the soldiers exclaimed in unison. Chu Feng said, "In that case, I'll have them demonstrate the military boxing routine on the spot. Watch carefully."

Chu Feng pointed to someone, who stepped forward and meticulously demonstrated to Si Qi the boxing techniques taught in the army. This set of boxing techniques combined body movements and footwork, and was a mature set of moves specifically designed for actual combat, making it very practical.

The opponent fought seriously, using all his strength, and every move was precise. Even Chu Feng couldn't find any fault with it.

After he finished demonstrating, Chu Feng said to Si Qi, "Did you see it clearly? Do you want me to repeat it for you a few more times?"

The soldiers all turned to look, thinking to themselves that when they practiced, their officers would break down each move for them to learn, and only after they had mastered the movements would they be allowed to perform a complete set. How could they possibly learn something just by watching it once?

The young clan leader was definitely making things difficult for him, deliberately making the little guy suffer, so that he wouldn't be arrogant and think that he was better than others at such a young age.

Si Qi carefully recalled the scene in his mind, put down the empty milk bottle, nodded, and said, "I'll give it a try."

The orc demonstrating stepped back a few paces to make way for Si Qi. Under the scorching gazes of the crowd, Si Qi's ears unconsciously turned red again. He tried his best to remain calm as he assumed his starting stance, then weakly raised his hand.

Although his aura lacked the imposing presence of the man before him, the soldiers present were all stunned, and the more they watched, the less composed they became. Their inner thoughts gradually shifted from "somewhat interesting" to "Holy crap!" The moves Si Qi used were exactly the same as the boxing techniques they remembered. Except for the slightly softer movements, the actions and angles were exactly the same as the instructor had described, without the slightest error.

The orcs, being able to stand here and train alongside the future young patriarch of the prestigious Chu family, must be exceptionally skilled, among the best of the warriors. Yet even they would find it difficult to replicate an entire set of fist techniques after just one reading, like Si Qi did—he's practically a genius!

Chu Feng had already anticipated Si Qi's abilities, but seeing Si Qi actually do it in person still amazed him with his excellence.

He wanted to find flaws in Si Qi's moves, but he couldn't find a single one after reading it from beginning to end. It seemed that apart from pointing out the weakness in Si Qi's movements, he had nothing to correct.

Si Qi's lack of strength is due to his physical limitations, not because he intentionally did so, so this correction is meaningless.

The more Chu Feng looked at Si Qi, the more pleasing the child seemed to him. The feeling he had when he first met him was indeed correct; the child was simply born to please him.

He told Si Qi to stop and rest. Looking at Si Qi's face, which was pale with exhaustion once again, he was worried that the child's body might not be able to take it.

"Brother, just hug me." Seeing Chu Feng's worry, Si Qi smiled at Chu Feng, stretched out his arms and said, "Hug me, and I won't be tired anymore."

My goodness, where did we find this little angel? Are there really such well-behaved babies in the world?!

The soldiers were incredibly soft-hearted; they practically wanted to give this sensible little guy the best of everything in the world.

Chu Feng picked up Si Qi and told the soldiers not to stand there, but to go and train. He then took Si Qi to a chair to rest.

Worried that Si Qi was short and might fall off the hard, backless bench, Chu Feng raised his hand to gently support Si Qi's back, not minding at all that the child was sweating a lot and that his clothes were wet and sticking to his palms uncomfortably.

And so, with his cute looks and sweet personality (?), Si Qi quickly became the darling of everyone in the training room. Even though Chu Feng often had to leave to handle things due to work, Si Qi was able to live a very good life here. Everyone loved him and supported him, and would satisfy whatever he wanted to do immediately.

When Chu Feng returned two hours later after finishing his work, he was greeted by a group of burly men who, in a high-pitched voice, kept calling Si Qi "good boy," surrounding him like a pack of wolves surrounding a little rabbit.

Unfortunately, there were still a bunch of empty candy wrappers and potato chip bags scattered around the little rabbit's feet. When Chu Feng suddenly appeared, the rabbit nervously shrank back and tried to hide in the crowd.

Chu Feng grabbed the rabbit by the scruff of its neck and lifted Si Qi up. "I told you before I left that you shouldn't eat too many snacks. What's wrong with you?"

Si Qi looked around, giving him a knowing look: "I didn't eat much."

The burly men bravely stepped forward to shield the little guy from the bullet: "We just thought it was so cute of him to eat, so we gave it to him."

"Young clan leader, please don't blame Xiao Qi, he's a very well-behaved boy."

Chu Feng's dark face silenced the group of soldiers opposite him, who could only give Si Qi a helpless look.

Chu Feng: "You were the one who told them you wanted snacks, right?"

He put all the snacks in the cabinet, but the cabinet is so high, how could Si Qi possibly reach them?

It must be this spoiled brat who's taking advantage of everyone's pampering to freeload here.

Si Qi looked at Chu Feng with a pitiful expression, his big, watery eyes filled with innocence. Looking up at him from below, he seemed particularly lost and helpless. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like a poor little thing who had been scolded by an adult for no reason.

Chu Feng: "…………"

If Si Qi hadn't eaten all those snacks himself, he might have actually believed it.

This guy looks innocent but is actually a cunning little devil; don't let him fool you.

Amid the soldiers' accusing gazes of "You're heartless and unreasonable," Chu Feng coldly confiscated Si Qi's entire savings and told him, "You can't eat any snacks today."

Si Qi: QAQ

Chu Feng stared at the soldiers: "You can't give it either."

The soldiers looked at Si Qi with concern and replied obediently, "Yes, sir!"

Si Qisheng collapsed completely into Chu Feng's arms, utterly dejected.

-

While things were bustling around Si Qi's side, Si Xin's side on the other side of the Beast Star wasn't exactly quiet either.

After being picked up from the manor by Xuanwu in the morning, Si Xin and Xuanwu boarded a private plane and arrived at the Xuan family's territory in three hours.

Upon hearing Xuanwu's order, the acting patriarch of the Xuan family and a group of prominent figures in the clan all hurriedly rushed from all directions of the Beast Star to the clan's territory, where they waited respectfully in the hall, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the savior.

As Si Xin was treated with kindness and friendliness by Xuanwu, his inner fear gradually subsided. Now, suddenly encountering a group of elders whose status was no less than that of many important figures in the Si family, he was at least no longer so nervous that he couldn't even speak properly. The perfunctory reception—Si Xin felt that the way they greeted him respectfully one by one truly deserved to be described as a reception—made Si Xin feel a sense of pride and elation towards these people who he had once only been able to look up to.

The feeling of having one's status completely changed overnight was infinitely better than what Si Xin had imagined yesterday about being able to establish a relationship with Xuanwu. Watching this group of people offer him piles and piles of world-class resources, knowing that even a small item among them was worth at least hundreds of millions, Si Xin was almost numb to money.

These were all gifts for him.

The reason, of course, is not just because he saved a group of ordinary orcs in the square yesterday.

Xuanwu glanced casually at the mountain of gift boxes, dismissed the group of juniors, and personally led Si Xin to the clan's most important place, a place that usually only he and the acting clan leader were qualified to enter. He smiled and handed him a series of truly precious documents that even the rich and powerful could never obtain.

"These contain my cultivation insights from over the years. Feel free to take a look; they might be helpful to you." Xuanwu gently pulled Si Xin to sit opposite him, personally brewing him the light tea that Si Qi used to love, and said, "Try it; do you like it?"

Si Xin accepted the teacup with both hands, trying her best to maintain proper etiquette, and took a sip with restraint.

The tea has a delicate fragrance and a sweet aftertaste; you can immediately taste its unique qualities. Si Xin's eyes widened in amazement, and she couldn't resist taking another sip, finishing the entire cup in one go.

He was a little embarrassed and looked at Xuanwu shyly, but Xuanwu was very happy and poured Si Xin another cup. He said to Si Xin, "I have been learning tea art for hundreds of years, and now I finally have a chance to use it."

These were very obvious flattery words, which expressed Xuanwu's intentions even better than a gentle attitude. Si Xin instinctively felt apprehensive and uncomfortable all over.

Xuanwu comforted him, "Was I too presumptuous? I'm sorry, I was just too happy..."

Si Xin's excited mind finally began to regain some rationality. He started to think about why Xuanwu had been so friendly to him, and pondered the meaning behind his words just now. The more he thought about it, the more his heart couldn't help but lean towards the direction he least wanted to face.

Xuanwu said, "Siqi, may I call you that?"

Si Xin nodded quickly: "Of course."

Xuanwu radiated joy, his eyes barely concealing the adoration in them. He said to Sixin, "Do you still remember me? Do you remember what happened back then?"

"Thump," the sound of a huge weight falling to the ground.

Heavy and threatening, it fell heavily into Si Xin's heart, sinking deeper and deeper.

Si Xin dared not reveal the slightest flaw, and only stared blankly at Xuanwu, "What are you saying?"

Xuanwu felt a little regretful, but also a little smug about taking advantage of the situation. He said to Sixin, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't remember."

Phoenixes are not born with memories of their past lives. They usually only begin to recall them when they are teenagers or approaching adulthood, or, like Chu Feng, a freak who recalls all his memories at the age of six.

Si Qi is not a phoenix and does not have the bloodline of being reincarnated, so it is normal that his memories were restored later.

Or rather... the later the better.

Xuanwu looked at Sixin with tenderness in his eyes. He stood up, opened a cabinet not far away, and placed the items he had treasured for hundreds of years, which he had carefully wiped and maintained day after day. He presented them to Sixin like treasures: "These are the items you once gave me, which I have always carefully treasured."

"Here are some old photos of us together. We fought side by side back then, and you saved me from the Zerg countless times..."

Xuanwu spoke softly, reminiscing about the past. His words were filled with longing and reminiscence. Just by looking at his expression, one could understand how deep his feelings were hidden in his many years of waiting.

Si Xin felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and almost trembled with fear.

Xuanwu mistook him for the savior Si Qi? But why? Because of his name? That's impossible! It can only be because of the spiritual energy Xuanwu mentioned on the phone—the spiritual energy he encountered in the square. Because of that spiritual energy, Xuanwu recognized his old friend who fought alongside him, and thus immediately realized that guy's identity?!

But how could that fool be the savior? How could he possibly be the savior?!

Looking back on how many people had praised her along the way, Si Xin knew that this matter could not be discovered by anyone, absolutely could not be discovered by anyone!!

He was both surprised and frightened, but he tried his best to keep his face calm, listening to Xuanwu's words with a smile, while his mind raced.

Even assuming that the fool really is the savior, his years of changing Si Qi's qualifications, instigating his parents to inject Si Qi with drugs, and imprisoning him at home for many years would absolutely ruin him!

Not many people know about this, and his parents are definitely on his side. As long as his parents keep this a secret and keep it buried deep inside, others will not easily find out what they have been doing all these years.

He had no other choice; if he didn't want to die, he had to go down a dead-end path!

Otherwise, looking at the Xuanwu in front of him who was so devoted to Si Qi, given how much he cared for Si Qi, this guy would have been the first to rush over and crush him without Si Qi even having to say a word.

If this had happened before, even if it had happened yesterday morning, he wouldn't have been so terrified. But Si Qi ran away last night!

Why did that damn guy have to run away at this time? Isn't he just trying to kill him?

He had never resented Si Qi as much as he did now, resenting him for pushing him into such a dangerous situation.

Originally, in order to obtain Si Qi's potential, he was determined to kill Si Qi after he came of age and awakened, and then take the beast core. But now he no longer had that power. If things went wrong, even if he missed the chance to transplant the beast core and become half a savior, he would kill Si Qi first and keep the matter a secret.

Otherwise, he would definitely be the one who dies!

Even if the savior never appears, and Xuanwu belatedly realizes that he might not be the savior, that's Xuanwu's mistake, not his fault. Letting Xuanwu's hopes be dashed is better than completely offending him.

We must tell my parents about this right away and tell them to catch that guy as soon as possible. At the very least, they should kill him and destroy the evidence...

Xuanwu had been silently observing Sixin. Seeing that Sixin seemed a bit absent-minded, he assumed that Sixin wasn't listening to what had happened back then and wasn't interested in his rambling about the past that he didn't even remember. He didn't dare to force Sixin at all, so he stopped talking at the right moment and said apologetically, "Listening to me talk about this is pretty boring, isn't it? I'm sorry, I got too excited and couldn't control myself."

Si Xin snapped out of her daze, smiled and shook her head: "It's alright, no one else can hear these things even if they wanted to."

Xuanwu's expression softened: "As long as you want, no matter when, I will tell you."

Si Xin became even more certain that Xuanwu cared about Si Qi. His heart sank, and he nodded, saying, "Thank you."

"Don't be so polite with me, you can just call me by my name."

Si Xin dared not actually call him that. If it were discovered later that he was not the savior, it would be too late to change his address. He simply said, "Clan Chief Xuan."

Xuanwu was somewhat dejected. Back then, Siqi had addressed him as Clan Chief Xuan in such a casual and distant manner. He never expected that after so many years, Siqi would still act the same way when they met again.

He didn't dare ask for anything more, only nodded and forced a smile, saying, "That's fine, after all, we just met..."

If he works harder in the future, he will definitely be able to get Si Qi closer to him.

He wanted to keep Si Qi by his side for a long time, so that he could protect Si Qi and prevent a petty thief like Chu Feng from sowing discord and stealing Si Qi's attention.

But Si Qi, who had been very cooperative and compliant before, subtly expressed his desire not to stay long after listening to his reminiscing, which made Xuanwu very flustered.

"Why?" Xuanwu pleaded, "I have everything here. Whatever you want, I can satisfy you."

Si Xin said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have my own things to do..."

Xuanwu: "Whatever you want to do, I can do it for you, and I will definitely satisfy you."

Si Xin shook her head again: "I'm sorry, it's some personal matters of mine."

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Xuanwu could only resort to a roundabout approach: "Those people outside already know your identity. They will swarm around you like flies, making it impossible for you to have any peace and quiet. There may even be people with ulterior motives who will try to get close to you and harm you. Only I can better protect you."

Si Xin could only try to find an excuse and put on an embarrassed and troubled look: "I don't want to trouble you too much. I know all about these things, but I think my parents and elders in the clan will help me find a solution."

Xuanwu was at a loss. He was reluctant to let Siqi leave, but he was also afraid that his forceful attempt to keep her would leave a bad impression on Siqi. He had waited for hundreds of years, how could he bear to hurt Siqi and make her look troubled? So even though he was unwilling and sad, he forced himself not to do anything excessive and said with red eyes, "I understand... I will see you out."

However, before Si Qi left, there were some things he had to say: "Do you still remember Chu Feng? That frivolous guy from back then, he has also been reincarnated."

As a member of the Si family, Si Xin had naturally heard about the affairs of other important figures in the clan, and he also knew that Chu Feng was the head of the Chu family who lived in the same era as Si Qi and Xuan Wu. He nodded and said, "I know."

Xuanwu bluntly stated, "That guy suspected your identity and told me that there were doubts about your identity, trying to sow discord between us."

Si Xin's heart skipped a beat, and she almost lost control of her expression. Then she heard Xuanwu say, "That guy is always cunning. He's using these kinds of tactics to try and get you to meet him. Don't be soft-hearted and agree to his request."

Si Xin, feigning sarcasm, followed Xuanwu's lead and said, "Fine, I won't see him."

Xuanwu was indeed very happy, and even the sadness of Siqi's impending departure faded a little. He solemnly said, "If you want to see me, I will come to you as soon as possible, no matter where I am. Please remember, I will always be your most loyal companion."

Si Xin listened with a mixture of joy and dejection. He accepted Xuanwu's oath and talked with Xuanwu for a while, listening to him express, sometimes indirectly and sometimes directly and sincerely, how good he was to Si Qi. Si Xin's mood worsened, but he still had to pretend to be happy.

The matter of bringing Si Qi back should be done sooner rather than later, so even though the Xuan family tried their best to persuade him to stay, Si Xin still flew back to the Si family with Xuanwu's personal escort.

The Si family naturally gave him a grand reception, with many important men and women trying to get acquainted with him. Si Xin suppressed his anxiety and managed to handle the situation.

Si's parents were beaming with pride, clearly thoroughly enjoying the occasion. It wasn't until Si Xin returned home and suddenly changed his demeanor, smashing the decorations by the front door without a word, then storming inside and unleashing a torrent of anger, that the couple realized something was wrong with their son and cautiously asked him what was wrong.

Si Xin, his face dark and resentful, voiced his speculation.

The couple, who had been beaming with joy, suddenly turned deathly pale, their bodies swaying as they nearly lost their footing.

How could Si Qi be the savior? How could he be the savior? Why is he the savior of all people?!

The couple instinctively wanted to protect themselves and keep the matter a secret, so they frantically tried to recall the process of those people arresting Si Qi, racking their brains to figure out what to do.

Si Xin said venomously, "That guy can't be kept alive. Although he's an idiot, who knows if he can be cured? We can't let him identify us. After we catch him, we should disfigure him first, then cut off his tongue and gouge out his eyes. That's the only way to be safe."

Mr. Si said, "Is this enough? We can also test bloodlines..."

Mrs. Si: "We can't just kill them on the spot after we catch them, can we?"

"Why not?!" Mr. Si retorted instinctively.

Si's mother said, "If that guy really is the savior, transplanting his beast core into Xin Xin's body will make Xin Xin the savior!"

Mr. Si was furious: "What time is it, and you're still thinking about this!"

Mrs. Si was displeased: "You only think about yourself, can't you think about the child for once! After killing Si Qi, is Xin Xin going to be a B-level forever? And that Xuan Clan Chief, is he so easily fooled? What if he finds out Xin Xin isn't the savior he thinks she is? Who knows if the benefits Xin Xin is getting now will turn into something deadly later? Those big shots don't care who's at fault; whoever displeases them will be in trouble! You saw the faces of those people in the clan today. Now everyone's flattering us and saying nice things to us, but once they find out we're not what they think, won't they mock us, saying we're delusional and that Xin Xin is overestimating herself? Don't I know what kind of people they are? They're all sycophants who seduce the powerful and bully the weak!!"

Si's father was rendered speechless by Si's mother's barrage of words and fell silent. Si Xin listened to her mother's analysis and understood that the situation was largely as her mother described. She felt even more strongly that Si Qi had to be caught, and it would be best to transplant his beast core according to the plan, rather than letting him die like this.

Si Xin urged, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's find them quickly!"

When Si's parents reached a life-or-death moment, they couldn't care less about arguing. They used all their brain cells and connections to start searching for Si Qi.

Because Si Xin is the "Savior Si Qi," those willing to help them this time are far more powerful and of a higher level than before. Suddenly hearing of this opportunity to curry favor with their future savior, they immediately agreed. The entire Si family territory became a turbulent place due to the actions of Si Xin's family…

If Si Qi hadn't left directly using the teleportation array, but instead relied on transportation, with this thorough and meticulous search, he would have been found very quickly.

But this was destined to be impossible. Si Qi was on Chu family territory, which had absolutely no connection with the Si family's lands, and in the safest Chu family military base that no one would even think of. No matter how hard they tried over there, they couldn't possibly disturb Si Qi in the slightest at this time.

Chu Feng, however, had been keeping an eye on Si Qi's family. As soon as they made a move, Chu Feng knew that they were sending people everywhere to search for Si Qi. The intensity of their search was no less than that of searching for the murderer who assassinated the clan leader.

If nothing had happened, that family wouldn't have been so nervous.

But what could possibly frighten a child who has been imprisoned and abused by them for so long?

Chu Feng turned his head and looked at the small figure in the training room from afar.
