"It's very simple." Gu Qingze smiled confidently, "My brother is the current Lord God. How could he not know that you rebelled right under his nose? You must have tacitly approved of what he did."
"Add to that your earlier mention of the Lord God... your expression and movements, and so on, and I've pretty much figured it out."
Feng Ying nodded. "I did this with your brother's tacit approval. He also dislikes the current way of maintaining the small world. But he is the current Lord God after all, so it's not appropriate for him to make these changes rashly. So, he let me test the waters first."
"If he can, he will make drastic changes. If not, he will continue to maintain the current conservative ways."
"But..." Feng Ying changed the subject, "He is very confident in my plan, otherwise he wouldn't agree to let me bring you in. After all, you are his younger brother."
Gu Qingze didn't refute, but changed the subject: "Speaking of which, why didn't you tell me everything? There's no need to hide it now. If I hadn't discovered it myself, were you planning to keep it a secret from me?"
"That's what your brother meant." Feng Ying smiled helplessly. "He wants you to start from the bottom and work hard. He's worried that if you knew your identity, you'd become proud and complacent and unwilling to work."
"Also, he told me to be a little aggressive in front of you so that I could control you. He was afraid that after you knew my identity, you would disobey me and use it to pressure me."
Gu Qingze was a little dissatisfied after hearing this: "How could he look at me like this? I have always been very obedient. Look, even if I knew all this, I never thought of bullying my brother-in-law, right?"
Feng Ying agreed, "Then I'll go back and talk to him. How can he treat his own brother like this?"
"Feng Ying..." Gu Qingze moved closer to Feng Ying. "Actually, I don't think you're mean at all. Your acting wasn't that great before, and you only fooled me at first. But when I thought about it carefully, I realized there were loopholes everywhere. This shows that Gefu is a gentle person at heart."
Feng Ying felt a little uncomfortable with his sudden approach: "Come to think of it, your brother is so serious, but you have such a personality. I was quite surprised when I first found out."
"That's nothing... Brothers don't necessarily have similar personalities." Gu Qingze recalled, "As far as I can remember, my brother has always had a serious face and is very serious about everything he does. That's why he's the current Lord God."
"...Feng Ying, why don't you stay here? Ling Xiao will be back soon with some baked cookies. You can try Ling Xiao's cooking later and we can have a meal together as a family."
Gu Qingze suggested with a smile, his eyes full of expectation. Feng Ying thought about it carefully and saw no reason to refuse, so he agreed.
Not long after, Chu Lingxiao returned. When he saw Feng Ying in the room, a slight surprise flashed across his eyes. Then, when he looked at Gu Qingze, he understood everything instantly.
He placed the freshly baked cookies on the table and said to Feng Ying with a smile, "Feng Ying, long time no see. Since you're here, try some of my new cookies."
"...Also, it's already noon." Chu Lingxiao said with a smile, "Qingze and I will cook a few dishes, let's have lunch together."
After lunch, Feng Ying looked at them and said seriously, "We are now in a cooperative relationship. I hope everyone can work hard to change the current situation and find a way to make the small world run better."
After Feng Ying said this, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao sent him to the door. Feng Ying nodded slightly and his figure gradually disappeared.
Back inside, Gu Qingze gently held Chu Lingxiao's hand and said with emotion: "Lingxiao, the road ahead may not be easy, but I think... as long as we are together, there is nothing to be afraid of."
Chu Lingxiao smiled gently and responded, "That's right, we'll face it together. And with the help of Feng Ying and the others, we can definitely do it."
