Ouyang Shaogong narrowed his eyes slightly, sensing that his adoptive father's attitude was somewhat strange. With a smile, he sent Baili Tusu away, then arranged a time for them to set off together the next day, before returning to the Ouyang family mansion with Long Xun and Yin Chen.
No sooner had he entered than Yin Chen asked Ouyang Shaogong, "A-Xun, you look... rather unwell today."
Long Xun paused, then turned around and looked at him calmly.
Yin Chen looked at him and smiled slightly, his expression cool and gentle: "Even if A-Xun was indifferent in the past, he would never target a boy who is still a child like this."
Long Xun: "..." What could he say? Could he say that just thinking about how that expressionless young hero might harbor some ulterior motive towards his son, the upright and noble Ouyang Shaogong, who was good in every way, would make him feel extremely distressed and want to slap him into the ground?
So Long Xun could only silently watch Yin Chen, and then silently look at Ouyang Shaogong, who was standing to the side with a rather interested expression, waiting for his answer.
Seeing Long Xun's non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, Ouyang Shaogong had some guesses.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, recalling the several times his godfather had exhibited unusual emotional fluctuations when he was with Baili Tusu or when they were too close, and said thoughtfully, "Could it be... that godfather knows something?"
Powerful masters are able to foresee a bit of the future, and Ouyang Shaogong, who once had his fate seen through at a glance, had no doubt about how clearly his adoptive father, the Candle Dragon who could hold up the sky, could see the future.
Seeing that Long Xun remained silent, Ouyang Shaogong's eyes showed some interest, and he asked again, "When Godfather saw that you were close to me, you acted like this... Does Godfather think that I will have a lot of involvement with you in the future?"
Long Xun: "..."
Ouyang Shaogong pondered for a moment: "When I was close to Xiaolan in the past, my godfather did not show such an attitude..." Rather than disliking Baili Tusu, my godfather's attitude was more like that of someone who clearly disliked the young hero and did not want him to get close to him, but was somewhat unwilling and had to let him go.
This subtlety likely stems not from his potential friendship with the young hero, but from other factors.
Profound feelings are nothing more than kinship, friendship, and love. He and the young hero are not related by blood, and this is only their second meeting. Friendship would not elicit such a strong reaction from his adoptive father.
So the remaining conclusion, though unbelievable, must be true.
Ouyang Shaogong chuckled: "So that's how it is. Young hero, you are the one I will choose in the future?"
Thinking about it carefully, that young hero was silent and resolute, with clear eyes, and a simple yet not easily deceived nature. After only two meetings, Ouyang Shaogong was able to point out many of his good qualities. So it would be natural for different feelings to develop between them during their journey to find Yuheng.
Moreover... Ouyang Shaogong always felt that there was an aura about that young hero that made him want to get closer to him.
While Ouyang Shaogong was pondering Baili Tusu's matter, Yin Chen and Long Xun were speechless with shock at his words.
Yin Chen was simply unable to process the fact that his adopted son had suddenly found a future lover, while Long Xun had a blank, lifeless expression and felt utterly hopeless.
He was indeed pleased that his son was incredibly intelligent, but couldn't this be used on him instead?! He hadn't even said anything yet, and this guy had already figured out almost everything he was thinking!
I'm so tired, I'll never love again _(:3」∠)_.
Yin Chenguang glanced at Long Xun's expressionless face, which was already showing signs of nerve damage, and realized that Ouyang Shaogong had definitely hit the nail on the head.
After thinking for a moment, he laughed and patted Ouyang Shaogong on the shoulder, saying, "Shaogong, not bad."
Ouyang Shaogong's thoughts were interrupted. Looking at the mischievous look in his godfather's eyes, he shook his head helplessly and said calmly, "It's too early to talk about these things now. We don't know what the young hero is thinking. Let's just let things take their course."
Long Xun remained expressionless to the side.
He had witnessed the stubbornness of the plot in every aspect many times. No matter what happened, Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu would always end up together.
Unfortunately, Long Xun discovered that Ouyang Shaogong, who was supposed to only realize his feelings near the end of the story, had now developed feelings for Baili Tusu after guessing what Long Xun was struggling with...
Dragon God said he doesn't want to talk right now.
