After a good night's sleep, Xu Chen stretched and stepped out of the woods where he had spent the night. Sunlight bathed him, and with a thought, his divine sense broke free of his body, covering the entire city. What appeared in his mind were skyscrapers and bustling traffic. "Sister Xiaobai, what do you think I should do to start my new life?" Xu Chen asked eagerly. Xiaobai thought for a moment, "Why don't you go to school? Don't worry about your identity." Xu Chen thought for a moment but did not answer.
A group of men and women approached from a distance. He looked at them and saw that each of them was holding a sketchbook, seemingly sketching. Suddenly, someone noticed his presence. "Look, there's a little boy in ancient costume over there!" Several girls looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome young man standing at the entrance of the woods, looking at them curiously. "He's so cute! Xu Nan, don't you like relationships with older women? Why don't you go ask for his WeChat?" The girls were about to tease Xu Nan when they noticed her expression change. She stared blankly at the young man in ancient costume. "Little brother, is that you?" she asked instinctively. The girls shouted in unison in Xu Nan's ear, "Sister Nan, we're drooling!" "It's all leaking out." Xu Nan blushed, wiped her mouth, and then, as if remembering something, made up her mind. She said to the middle-aged man leading the group, "Teacher, I have something I have to do, so I won't be participating in today's sketching session." After saying that, she handed her tools to her best friend and walked towards Xu Chen. "What's wrong with Xu Nan? Is it really love at first sight?" the girls discussed among themselves while they were drawing. Xu Nan's best friend looked at Xu Chen and suddenly remembered something, "That's Sister Nan's brother!" The girls were very surprised. They had heard that Xu Nan's brother had run away from home and hadn't returned for more than two years, but they had never met him in person.
At this moment, Xu Chen watched Xu Nan approach and listened to the girls' whispers. He suddenly felt a little bewildered. "This is too much of a coincidence." Looking at the girl getting closer, Xu Chen realized she did indeed look remarkably like him; the girl before him was practically a female version of him. The girl rushed to his side, "Little brother, is that you?" Xu Nan felt like she was in a dream. For over a year, she and her parents had spent countless tears, regretting their strict discipline of her brother, which had led to his running away from home. They had reported it to the police and searched everywhere, but to no avail. She reached out to touch Xu Chen's face, but he instinctively pulled away. He didn't know how to comfort the tearful girl before him, so he lowered his head and remained silent. "Yes, I was also at fault back then, little brother. Come on, let's go home." Xu Nan took his hand and walked down the hill. Xu Chen didn't know how to react. He wanted to tell the truth, but he was afraid the girl would burst into tears again. He could only silently follow her. Leaving the Tianquan Sect and entering the mortal world for the first time, he became incredibly oblivious, unsure how to handle relationships with others.
Xu Nan pulled Xu Chen to the roadside and gestured to a taxi, "Little brother, come on, get in." Xu Chen got in. "Driver, to the municipal government staff quarters." The driver looked at the siblings with a puzzled expression. Why were the sister's eyes red, as if she had just cried, and why was the brother, dressed in ancient costume, so silent? He couldn't figure it out. "Little brother, Dad went to Beijing for a meeting and also visited an old comrade-in-arms at the police department. He was determined to find you no matter what." Xu Nan thought of her father's hurried departure last night and looked at her brother. "We were a bit strict with you; it was our fault. When you get home, I'll cook for you." Xu Chen watched as Xu Nan pulled her phone out of her pocket. "Mom, I found my little brother!" A gasp came from the other end of the line. "Really?" Xu Nan wiped away her tears. "Really, he's sitting right next to me. You should come home right away." "Okay, Xiaoli, cancel all your meetings today. My son is back." Xu Chen looked at the excited girl in front of him and felt even more reluctant to say it aloud.
At this moment, Xiaobai suddenly said, "It seems I don't need to worry about her identity." Xu Chen quickly asked Xiaobai, "Sister Xiaobai, aren't you some top-tier artificial intelligence? Can you find out where her brother is?" Xiaobai was silent for a moment, "I can't help you." Xu Chen stared blankly out the window. Suddenly, he made up his mind, turned to look at Xu Nan, and circulated his spiritual power. Xu Nan suddenly felt her head was very heavy and fell into a deep sleep. Ten minutes later, he knew all of Xu Nan's memories. "The Soul Searching Technique is indeed terrifying, but if it weren't for my power, this girl would probably have died on the spot." "Okay, go to sleep, go to sleep. When you wake up, you'll have a real little brother." Xu Chen looked at Xu Nan. A moment later, the taxi stopped at the municipal government's residential building. Xu Chen reached into Xu Nan's pocket, took out a hundred-yuan bill, and then carried Xu Nan out of the car. "So soft, so light, she doesn't look much shorter than me, like a ball of cotton." Xu Chen carried Xu Nan into the residential area and arrived at Xu Nan's door. He knocked a few times, and a beautiful woman immediately opened the door. "Chen'er, you're really back? This is little Nan Nan, what happened to her?" the beautiful woman asked as she pulled Xu Chen into the house.
"Chen'er, it was Mom's fault. Mom will never scold you again. When you come back, be good and don't run away from home again, okay?" Wang Rong looked at her son with tears in her eyes, looking pitiful. After a while, Xu Nan also woke up from her sleep. She looked at Xu Chen and her mother and felt that the family was complete. Xu Chen looked at the two women in front of him and everything around him. Whether he had just arrived on Earth or suddenly became someone's younger brother or someone's child, he suddenly felt particularly interesting and novel after not experiencing family affection for more than two hundred years.
"Mom, I think I'll go back to school. Now that I'm back, I don't want to disappoint you." Xu Chen said earnestly to the beautiful woman, who was overjoyed. "I'll call your school and you can go for now. Your dad will come home tomorrow, and he can handle your case." Her son had been missing for so long, but because of her husband's power, the police were still keeping a close eye on him. Now that he was back, the follow-up matters definitely needed to be dealt with promptly. "His dad is probably on his way back on a plane," Wang Rong thought to herself.
