Chapter 72 Shield?
Yu Xunge spotted Lin Chengze wearing an eye patch at a glance. His exposed eye was blue and quite handsome, making one want to gouge it out. She immediately used her detection skill.
【Magic Eye】(Rank A): Pitry’s magical eye, which accompanied him on his adventures at sea for decades.
[Skill 1] Time Reversal: After using it on the target, you can "see" the target's experiences in the last 6 hours. Each use consumes 20% of mana and has a 24-hour cooldown.
[Skill 2] Mind Reading: After use, look directly into the target's eyes to read their thoughts. It consumes 10 mana points per second.
[Note]: It must be placed in the eye socket to be effective.
Upon seeing the skill description of the Demon Eye, Yu Xunge was taken aback.
She had broken out in a cold sweat, but then she thought that she had Soros, which should be able to resist the spying of this kind of skill. Moreover, Lin Chengze was not a player. He didn't even have magic power and couldn't use this item at all. She was certain that Lin Chengze could see with this magic eye because a player had used a healing skill on him.
However, I must get my hands on this magic eye, even if I can't use it myself, I must snatch it.
While Yu Xunge was examining the demonic eye, Lin Chengze was also watching her. Almost instantly, he had a brilliant idea—a way to stay openly by Yu Xunhuan's side without attracting Su Yitong's attention! He would use Yu Xunge as a shield…
During the meal, Lin Chengze began to fawn over him.
Not only Lin Chengze, but the others were also somewhat attracted to Yu Xunge. After all, Yu Xunge's temperament and appearance were truly outstanding. However, none of them were as quick as Lin Chengze. However, as soon as he poured Yu Xunge a glass of wine, Yu Xunge stared at him thoughtfully.
Lin Chengze suppressed his smugness and smiled shyly.
Why wait for someone to make a move before retaliating when there's a way to resolve potential problems beforehand? Yu Xunge then said, "I think I've seen you before. Did you talk to Lan Cheng?"
These words, like a thunderbolt, silenced everyone at the table.
Lan Cheng is a talented actor who is based in Hengdian and is known as a workaholic in the industry. Not to mention young people like Yu Xunhuan and Ye Dong, even older generations like Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo have seen his TV dramas.
Lin Chengze was startled for a few seconds, then immediately retorted angrily, "How dare you spout such nonsense? How could you slander me like this!"
Yu Xunge suddenly realized and immediately poured wine for Lin Chengze: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to discriminate, it's my fault, my fault."
After saying that, he slapped his mouth in obvious annoyance, then took out a fine belt and handed it over: "This is an apology. I'm really sorry, I couldn't keep my mouth shut."
He kept apologizing, but refused to admit that what he had just said was false.
They were just short of raising their arms and shouting in support of comrades and against discrimination at Lin Chengze.
Lin Chengze didn't say a word before a piece of equipment was shoved into his hand. He wasn't even a player, so he couldn't wear it yet. But he didn't have time to think about that. His mind was full of Yu Xunhuan. He was worried that Yu Xunhuan would distance himself from him after finding out that he was gay. He kept an eye on Yu Xunhuan's expression out of the corner of his eye. Only after noticing that there was only surprise and no disgust on the other's face did he breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, Yu Xunhuan was distracted, his mind filled with the attribute points he had lost and the A-level demonic eye that was temporarily residing in Lin Chengze's eye socket.
However, Yu Xunhuan's calmness did not affect Lin Chengze's disgust for Yu Xunge. At the same time, he also gave up the idea of using Yu Xunge as a shield, because he had indeed talked to Lan Cheng... but very few people knew about this.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. How could he have forgotten that Yu Xunge used to be in the entertainment industry? Outsiders might not know about his affair with Lan Cheng, but gossip spreads incredibly fast in the industry. Maybe Yu Xunge heard about it sometime and took it seriously.
It's not really his fault. In his previous life, although Yu Xunge didn't do well, she was still active in the entertainment industry. When Yu Xunhuan introduced her, he would mention her famous works more. After Lin Chengze came, he still tested her to make sure she didn't know about his relationship with Lan Cheng before using her as a shield.
Yu Xunge retired from the entertainment industry early in his life, so Lin Chengze wouldn't care about a third-tier star. He just thought Yu Xunge looked familiar, so he unilaterally decided to use her as a shield.
As for this secret, Yu Xunge discovered it herself in her previous life, because Lan Cheng was the one who eventually joined the core of the male protagonist's team...
He and Lin Chengze had a past entanglement. In his previous life, Yu Xunge discovered that Lin Chengze was gay only after noticing something was off between the two.
All I can say is that the author of this son-in-law novel adds all sorts of random trendy elements...
They completely disregard whether the audience of "son-in-law" novels can accept a female fan having a crush on her own son.
This minor embarrassment was quickly brushed off by Yu Xunhuan's witty remarks.
No one else felt dissatisfied with Yu Xunge because she was a player, while Lin Chengze was not. Moreover, she even compensated him with a piece of equipment. The belt emitted a faint green light, clearly indicating that it was a high-quality item. This compensation was quite sincere.
Whether it's equipment or potions, even though everyone knows they will depreciate over time, they are currently the things players desperately need, and they are extremely rare on the market. Many people want to buy them but can't.
Even Lin Chengze couldn't say anything. Although he disliked Yu Xunge's lack of tact, he suppressed his anger and simply assumed that Yu Xunge had just spoken too quickly...
After finishing his meal, Yu Xunge took his leave, generously giving each of them a basic healing potion before departing. He left the Yu family amidst the well-liked gazes of the group.
She began to understand Yu Qingshan and Yu Xunhuan. It was indeed worthwhile to create a good image with something that was useless to themselves and had no effect on changing the fate of others.
Yu Xunge left a small spider controlled by the "dead only obey" spell next to Yu Qinghuan's car before driving away in his own car.
I'm going to get my hands on that magic eye tonight.
She always felt that Yu Xunhuan must have had a use for this magic eye in his past life. Even if he didn't use it for himself, he would have given it to his brother's wife. How come she had never seen it before?
Surely he couldn't have been hiding behind his back?
Forget it, let's get our hands on it first and then study it.
The little spider had already climbed into Yu Xunhuan's car and hid behind the back seat. Under the little spider's watchful eye, Yu Xunge knew as soon as Lin Chengze and his group left the Yu family villa.
Although they were all brothers, they only worked together at Yu Xunhuan's apartment during the day and went home separately at night. Yu Xunhuan sent them all home one by one, leaving only Ye Dong and Lin Chengze. The former had been living in Yu Xunhuan's apartment since arriving in S City, and after living there for a while, he became too lazy to find a place to live. The latter didn't want to go back to the Lin family recently either, as he was afraid that the other members of the Lin family would gouge out his eyes. At least Ye Dong could protect him in Yu Xunhuan's apartment.
Yes, the friendship among the main characters is so touching. Lin Chengze trusts these brothers he has only known for a few months, but he doesn't trust the Lin family members who risked offending others to pursue compensation for him.
