Chapter 325: Twenty years of hard work is not as good as your twenty days of cheating?
The crowd in the live broadcast room was outraged and demanded the execution of those high-ranking officials of the Wisteria Empire who dared to assassinate the son of Martial Ancestor. The members of the East Kingdom Cabinet looked at the trend of public opinion in the live broadcast room and felt relieved.
If public opinion supports Wu Zu, then there will be no problem.
The situation that they had anticipated of moral blackmailing of Wu Zu by public opinion did not happen, which was a blessing in disguise.
Although they have made preparations to guide public opinion in advance, it is best not to use this preparation if it cannot be used.
After all, the people's spontaneous support for Wu Zu and their support for Wu Zu under official guidance are two completely different situations.
The former gave them the confidence to keep Wu Zu in the East Country.
Si Yuan, who was at the center of the storm, didn't even glance at the live broadcast room. After issuing the execution order for the masterminds who were planning to assassinate Yan Huaixiu, he got up and left.
Dongguo will take care of everything for him from now on, so he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
If Dongguo makes any more mistakes, then he might really need to consider changing his partner.
Even though the Wisteria Empire, which had the smallest gap in national strength with the East Country before the revival of spiritual energy, had been excluded from the scope of cooperation by Si Yuan, there are still many other countries in this world. Perhaps these countries were not as strong as the East Country before the revival of spiritual energy, but after the revival of spiritual energy, they focused on martial arts, and the previous strength of the country was no longer a decisive factor.
However, Dongguo is the largest country in the world, with the largest population and the highest degree of cooperation.
If Dongguo can still do its job effectively, Si Yuan still doesn't want to replace Dongguo and switch to other countries as cooperation partners.
The cleanup of this incident can be considered a test for the East Country.
Si Yuan left the lake and returned to the Yan family.
Of course, he couldn't meet those behind the scenes at Yan's house. After all, he had to do a live broadcast and he didn't want to expose his home address.
After Si Yuan returned to the Yan family, the four elders, Hong Shuyun, and Yan Huaixiu all came to greet him and asked in unison, "We also watched the live broadcast just now. You said those people were the culprits in the assassination of Huaixiu. What's going on?"
Yan Huaixiu was the most confused person. He was shocked when he saw his father appear in the live broadcast room. After learning that he had been assassinated by the top leaders of the Wisteria Empire, he was even more shocked and confused.
When was he assassinated? How come he, as the person involved, didn’t know about it?
When his grandparents, grandparents, and mother surrounded him and asked him about the assassination, Yan Huaixiu said, "I don't know. I didn't encounter any assassination at all. I don't know why my father said that."
When the official people from Dongguo said this before, the Yan family was still skeptical. Yan Huaixiu didn't believe it at all until his father said it himself, and he had to believe it even if he didn't want to.
Yan Huaixiu even thought about whether he had lost a painful memory of being assassinated and almost killed. Because his father was worried that he would have a psychological trauma, he sealed his memory. When he grew up and became stronger, he would break the seal himself. By then, he would no longer be afraid of trivial things like assassinations...
Yan Huaixiu, who was imagined to be particularly cheerful, pretended to be serious, giving off the feeling of a male protagonist who had suffered a lot and had a deep hatred.
Si Yuan looked at Yan Huaixiu's expression and slowly asked, "What's wrong with Xiaoxiu?"
Yan Huaixiu said to Si Yuan with a serious and solemn expression: "Dad, I know that the memory of my assassination must be very painful, so you sealed my memory. But don't worry, Dad, I will definitely practice hard to become stronger and break the seal, and then prove to you, Dad, that I am not afraid of assassination at all, and I will no longer have psychological trauma!"
Si Yuan: “……?” Has his son entered his middle school years?
Si Yuan asked, "What novel are you reading recently?"
Yan Huaixiu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his father to suddenly change the topic to novels. He subconsciously replied, "I'm reading "After I Get My Memory Back, I Kill All Around". It's really good!"
Si Yuan: "..." He slowly reached out and patted Yan Huaixiu's shoulder, "You should watch less."
Don't put yourself too deeply into the protagonist of the novel.
Yan Huaixiu was completely confused. What did his father mean by this? Is my father reminding me not to be addicted to novels and to use the time I spend reading novels to practice cultivation?
Okay dad, I will never let you down and will work hard on my cultivation!
The strict father dragged Si Yuan to sit on the sofa and asked with a serious expression: "What happened? Huai Xiuzhen was assassinated? Why didn't you tell us about this before?"
Si Yuan looked at the four elders sitting on the sofa opposite him and felt like he was being tried by three judges.
He confessed truthfully: "This matter has to start with Xiao Xiu's martial arts middle school entrance examination..."
Si Yuan described in detail that during the process when Yan Huaixiu was taking the martial arts middle school entrance examination, someone fed drugs to his third test subject, the Demon Shadow Rat, in an attempt to make the Demon Shadow Rat, with greatly increased strength, kill the unsuspecting Yan Huaixiu.
However, because Yan Huaixiu was too powerful, this stronger Demon Shadow Rat was killed instantly by Yan Huaixiu like the previous two. Yan Huaixiu himself did not notice any difference between the third Demon Shadow Rat that died at his hands and the previous two.
If examiner Li Ping had not discovered the incident in time and was willing to report it, the Yan family would probably not have known about the accident, nor did they know that Yan Huaixiu had been assassinated during the exam.
After listening to Si Yuan's detailed explanation, the four elders and Hong Shuyun were fine. It was just an assassination without any danger. The mastermind behind it was found out by Si Yuan and sentenced to death. Yan Huaixiu was also fine. So the five of them quickly let the matter go and believed Si Yuan's promise that he would never let anything happen to Yan Huaixiu in the future.
After all, this assassination is enough to prove Si Yuan's level of teaching children.
Only Yan Huaixiu was still in shock.
His brain suddenly seemed to stop working, so the so-called assassination was about the Shadow Rat that he killed instantly without even noticing any difficulty?
That’s it?
Thinking back to the high-ranking officials of the Wisteria Empire who had knelt in front of their father and begged for mercy in the live broadcast room but were still sentenced to death, Yan Huaixiu felt a little weird.
Suddenly he felt that the deaths of these guys were too unfair. Their so-called assassination attempt was not even a slight blow to him. He didn't even realize that he was being assassinated before he killed the assassin they arranged in seconds.
However, Yan Huaixiu was not so saintly that he would sympathize with the culprit who planned to assassinate him. Although their assassination plan was quite ridiculous, it was only because they did not understand his strength and underestimated him. Their desire to kill him was real.
Then Yan Huaixiu recalled his previous imagination, how he was almost killed in a brutal assassination, and how his father was afraid that he would have a psychological trauma and affect his martial arts training so he sealed his memory... It turned out that he was thinking too much!
Yan Huaixiu was so embarrassed that he dug his toes into the ground, wishing he could dig out a big villa on the spot.
It would be fine if he just imagined it in his mind, but he had already told his father about it, and his father thought it was just a fantasy caused by reading too many novels...
The rest of the family members also heard it...
Social death! Completely dead at home!
Yan Huaixiu glanced at his grandparents and mother who were surrounding his father and asking him about various details, then quietly stood up and quickly slipped away using his fastest and most stealthy movements.
Si Yuan glanced at Yan Huaixiu's dejected back with a smile, and did not stop him.
After all, it is really embarrassing for a child to be exposed as a middle school student, so we should save the child's face.
After the four elders and Hong Shuyun asked the questions they wanted to ask, they finally remembered Yan Huaixiu, the person involved.
Then he looked around and found that Yan Huaixiu, who had been sitting on the single sofa next to him listening to their conversation, was nowhere to be seen.
Mother Yan was surprised: "I saw Huaixiu sitting here just now, how come he is gone?"
Hong Shuyun knew her son very well. She covered her lips and smiled as she said, "Is this kid probably shy? After all, he just said some weird things to Si Yuan. Now that he knows the truth, he must be too embarrassed to stay any longer. I guess he will avoid us for the next few days."
At this time, Yan's father and mother and Hong's father and mother also remembered what Yan Huaixiu had imagined before, some outrageous guesses about sealing memories, and they burst into laughter.
Yan Huaixiu, who was hiding in his room on the second floor, did not close the door, but left it half open, stretched his neck and pricked up his ears to listen to the noise downstairs.
With his martial artist's sensitive five senses, he could naturally hear the conversation and laughter downstairs. Yan Huaixiu immediately retracted his head, gently closed the door, locked the door, then squatted behind the door and fell into autism: "..." Damn it! Actually laughed at him! That’s too much!
Being socially awkward in front of family members and being socially awkward in front of outsiders are two completely different feelings.
If you suffer a social failure in front of outsiders, they won't always bring it up and make fun of you. At worst, you can just stop seeing that outsider in the future, and then you can pretend that the social failure never happened.
But I would be socially awkward in front of my family. They would definitely bring this up over and over again and make fun of me.
Yan Huaixiu felt very disappointed when he recalled the historical photos of himself as a child with his naked bottom and the historical photos of himself dressed up as a pretty girl, which were still shown off and ridiculed by his elders.
A new page of dark history has been added. This incident will ruin him socially for a long time. It might even be brought up many years later. The thought of it makes me feel desperate.
When Yan Huaixiu was dying because of his dark history, countless netizens were discussing him on the Internet.
——Who is the son of Wu Zu?
When this issue was raised, many people who were originally concerned about what kind of punishment the culprits would receive were diverted.
——I have never heard that Wu Zu has a son before, but according to the introduction of Wu Zu in the encyclopedia, Wu Zu is in his forties this year, so he must have a son. His son must be a male, and his surname is Yan...
——Isn’t this nonsense? Now who doesn’t know that Wu Zu has a son? Who doesn’t know that Wu Zu’s son has the same surname as Wu Zu, Yan?
——Listening to your words is like listening to a conversation.
——Come to think of it, we still don’t know how those guys assassinated the son of Martial Ancestor. How did they know the identity of Martial Ancestor’s son?
——Yes, yes, we didn’t even know that Wu Zu was married, let alone that he had a son. The authorities kept Wu Zu's family information very confidential, so how did the news leak out? Not only the culprit from the Wisteria Empire deserves to die, but those guys from the East Country who leaked the information about the Martial Ancestor also deserve to die, they are also accomplices!
——It seems that they had thoroughly investigated the cheating in the martial arts test for the high school entrance examination. It was a thorough investigation from top to bottom, and many big figures had fallen. It was said that they were all ruined because they were involved in one of these points. Everyone was in danger during that period. You think a thorough investigation of cheating is an excuse?
——Fuck, it’s very likely! After all, it is not easy to investigate the person who leaked the information of the Martial Ancestor in public, but if we investigate the cheating in the martial arts exam, we can cover up the truth, let the culprit relax his vigilance, and then we can strike him with one strike...
——If the previous large-scale purge was really an investigation into the people involved in the collusion with the Wisteria Empire to assassinate the son of Martial Ancestor, then doesn’t it mean that the son of Martial Ancestor also participated in this year’s high school entrance examination? After all, if the Martial Ancestor's son had not taken part in the high school entrance examination, the people of the Wisteria Empire would not have chosen to tamper with the martial arts high school entrance examination in order to assassinate the Martial Ancestor's son.
——That makes sense. Your analysis is very reasonable.
——As everyone knows, Wu Zu has settled in the capital. We don’t know where exactly in the capital, but he definitely lives there. The son of Martial Ancestor must have also taken the high school entrance examination in the capital. The son of Martial Ancestor must have extraordinary strength and will definitely be among the top students in the high school entrance examination. Even if his academic performance is not good, his martial arts high school entrance examination test results will definitely be top-notch, otherwise he would be unworthy of his identity as the son of Martial Ancestor.
——That is to say, among the martial arts high school entrance examination candidates in the capital, the top candidate with the surname Yan is very likely the son of the Martial Ancestor!
These netizens are all very good at reasoning. They narrowed down the scope and almost completely uncovered Yan Huaixiu's identity.
Fortunately, the surname Yan is not a rare surname. With so many people in the entire capital, there are still many candidates who can get top scores in the martial arts entrance examination. Among these candidates, Yan Huaixiu is not the only one with the surname Yan.
But this little problem did not pose any difficulty for the resourceful netizens. Soon, local netizens in the capital collected information about top students with the surname Yan from all major junior high schools.
Those top students with the surname Yan whose parents' identities can be traced back can be excluded. In this way, only Yan Huaixiu is left.
After all, there were many parent-teacher meetings during the three years of junior high school. Other top students with the surname Yan had their fathers or mothers come to the parent-teacher meetings for them, but Yan Huaixiu's parents were either absent every time or they attended the meetings online. His classmates and teachers had never seen his parents in three years.
This is so suspicious.
In the past few days, Yan Huaixiu's cell phone has been filled with messages from many classmates asking if his father is the legendary Martial Ancestor.
Fortunately, he was very popular in the class and many of his classmates had a good relationship with him and knew that he was not a person who put on airs. This allowed those classmates who doubted his identity to muster up the courage to send him a message and ask him directly.
Yan Huaixiu looked at the greetings sent by his classmates and fell into deep thought again - how was his identity exposed?
At this time, he thought of his long-time friend Wang Lili - although Wang Lili always claimed to be Boss Yan's chief younger brother, in fact, he always regarded Wang Lili as a friend in his heart.
So Yan Huaixiu was the first to reply to Wang Lili's message: "I am, so I want to know, how did my identity get exposed?"
On the other side, Wang Lili was completely stunned when she received Yan Huaixiu's reply. She lost the chance to organize her words for a long time.
The boss he admired was actually the son of Martial Ancestor? !
Is this a dream?
Wu Zu is the ancestor of martial arts who is respected and revered by all martial arts practitioners!
The boss is actually the son of Wu Zu!
Wang Lili twisted his body with excitement. His body, which had become strong and no longer bloated due to practicing martial arts, now showed great flexibility and twisted into a doughnut.
With shaking hands, he forwarded the post he had searched online about "The Identity of the Martial Ancestor's Son Revealed" to Yan Huaixiu. He was so excited that he could hardly calm down and didn't know what to say to his boss.
After Yan Huaixiu clicked on this post, he was no longer in the mood to pay attention to whether Wang Lili had sent him any messages.
He looked at the owner of this post's analysis in an orderly manner, as well as the responses from other netizens who also analyzed the post layer by layer, and finally revealed his identity. He was completely stunned.
These netizens actually figured out his true identity with just a few clues?
Yan Huaixiu no longer cared about his socially devastated state, and rushed to find his father with his phone: "Dad! What should I do if my identity is exposed?"
Si Yuan was making tea. Looking at his son who rushed over rashly, he said calmly, "Sit down."
Yan Huaixiu sat cross-legged next to Si Yuan and put the screen of his mobile phone in front of Si Yuan's eyes: "Dad, look, my identity has been completely exposed."
Si Yuan held the teapot in his right hand to pour tea, raised his left hand to push away the phone that blocked his view, and said calmly: "I know."
Seeing his father so calm and composed, Yan Huaixiu slowly calmed down as well. Since his father was not panicking, the problem was not a big deal and could definitely be solved easily.
He looked at the tea pouring out of the spout of the teapot his father was holding and swirling in the teacup: "What should we do now?"
Si Yuan asked without turning around: "Why? Is it embarrassing to be my son? Are you afraid to admit that you are my son?"
Yan Huaixiu quickly denied, "Of course not. I'm very proud to be Dad's son, but didn't Mom tell me to keep my identity a secret to prevent bad guys from using it to threaten Dad?"
Si Yuan said calmly, "Since you have already encountered an assassination attempt, it means that your identity has been almost exposed, but it has not been officially made public. Those who planned to assassinate you have been used as an example by me, and you are strong enough to protect yourself, so it doesn't matter if you don't keep your identity secret now."
The reason why Yan Huaixiu's identity as his son was kept secret was because Yan Huaixiu was young, and Si Yuan was worried that as the son of the Martial Ancestor, he would be flattered and his character would change, and he would not be able to make true friends.
As for assassinations, to be honest, Si Yuan had never worried about them at all. The backup plan he left on Yan Huaixiu was enough to protect Yan Huaixiu's life in this world.
Yan Huaixiu is about to go to high school now, and exposing his identity as the son of Martial Ancestor at this time is actually a new test for him.
Only if you can maintain your mind and attitude amidst the overly beautiful flowers, applause and flattery, can you embark on the road to becoming a strong person.
Let’s see if Yan Huaixiu can pass this test.
This is also why when Wang Guoqing asked him whether he wanted to suppress the public opinion related to Yan Huaixiu's identity, he replied that he didn't need to worry about it and just let nature take its course.
Because Si Yuan had already prepared himself mentally for Yan Huaixiu to reveal his identity after this incident, otherwise why would he agree to broadcast live the scene of him judging those behind the scenes?
When Yan Huaixiu heard his father say that he no longer had to keep his identity secret and could publicly say that he was his father's son, he thought he would be very happy.
After all, he really admires his father very much. Every time he hears others praising his father outside, he feels very proud and wants to stand up and proudly announce loudly - that's my father!
But he had to keep his identity secret and couldn't say it out loud even if he died. When he was a child, he felt resentful and unhappy about it. It was his mother who comforted him and told him that she asked him to keep it secret for his safety.
But now that he can announce to the public that he is his father's son, he feels a little disappointed and at a loss.
Yan Huaixiu couldn't help but begin to examine himself. Was he really worthy of the identity of the son of the Martial Ancestor? Can he accept being watched by everyone in the world?
Is he not good enough now and will he bring shame to his father?
Si Yuan was also worried that Yan Huaixiu would be flattered because of his identity as the son of Martial Ancestor. However, he did not know that Yan Huaixiu, who had grown up watching his powerful figure, had never considered himself a so-called genius.
Because he was looking at his most powerful father, whenever he was praised as a genius by his classmates and teachers at school, he would always think in his heart: What kind of genius am I? Far behind dad!
Therefore, Yan Huaixiu was not only not proud and complacent, but he also had some inferiority complex. Now he felt that he was not good enough and might bring shame to his father's reputation, making people think that his father was a bad son and he might bring shame to his father.
Si Yuan took a sip of tea and noticed that Yan Huaixiu beside him had not spoken for a long time. He turned his head to look at him and was somewhat surprised to see that there was a look of hesitation on Yan Huaixiu's face.
"What's wrong? Xiao Xiu, don't you want to reveal your identity to the public?"
Yan Huaixiu shook his head. Although he was a little worried that he would embarrass his father, he had never thought of refusing to disclose his identity to the public, otherwise he would not have admitted his identity to Wang Lili.
After all, he has always been proud of being his father's son, and has always wanted to declare to the outside world that he has the best and strongest father in the world.
Even though he might be under a lot of pressure after announcing this matter, he was willing to accept it.
But Yan Huaixiu still looked at his father and whispered, "Dad, if I'm not good enough and bring shame to you, will you be angry?"
He didn't mind embarrassing himself, but he didn't want to embarrass his father, nor did he want to make his father angry or sad.
When Si Yuan heard what Yan Huaixiu said, he paused in his action of putting down the teacup. He looked at Yan Huaixiu with a stiff expression, unable to believe it - he was worried that his cheap son, who would become too proud and complacent with flowers and flattery in the future, was actually feeling inferior now? !
Si Yuan was of course shocked, because he had never noticed the inferiority hidden in Yan Huaixiu's heart.
Who would have thought that he was just obsessed with comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, and temporarily let the kid go to school on his own, but this actually allowed the kid to develop an inferiority complex!
shame! This is simply the biggest shame for Si Yuan, who has rich experience in raising cubs and thinks he is the best father!
Si Yuan quickly put down the teacup in his hand, no longer as calm as before, turned around and sat face to face with Yan Huaixiu, and asked seriously, "Xiao Xiu, are you worried that you are not good enough to embarrass your father?"
Yan Huaixiu lowered his head in sadness at Si Yuan's straightforward words. Although he felt that he was not good enough, he still felt embarrassed when his father said this directly.
Si Yuan tilted his head up and made him look directly at him: "Why do you think so, Xiao Xiu? Did you meet a genius who is better than you in school?"
It shouldn't be the case. Even if there are talents better than Yan Huaixiu, they are far inferior to Yan Huaixiu in terms of resources and growth environment. It is impossible for them to catch up with Yan Huaixiu, who has already taken the lead for more than ten years.
Therefore, Yan Huaixiu should be the best in school. How could such a gifted child have an inferiority complex?
Yan Huaixiu shook his head slightly and whispered, "Although I haven't met any classmates who are stronger than me in school, I still feel that I am far behind my father. The martial arts techniques that my father taught me are sometimes difficult for me to understand and practice, and I need my father to explain them to me in detail, while my father was able to create such techniques on his own. I am far behind my father, and I will disappoint everyone. By then, outsiders may think that I am not worthy of being my father's son..."
Yan Huaixiu became more and more discouraged as he spoke.
Si Yuan finally understood why Yan Huaixiu felt inferior, because this child treated him as a target and a control group.
If Yan Huaixiu doesn't feel inferior, then who would feel inferior? After all, a peerless genius like Si Yuan is extremely rare in the universe.
You have to know that the enlightenment he displayed at the beginning was so great that even his master, the Immortal Master Wangtian, who was far away in the fairyland, couldn't help but be moved and incarnated himself down to the mortal world to accept him as his disciple.
This shows how high his comprehension and talent are.
If Yan Huaixiu wants to compete with him, it would be like trying to scam others by landing on the moon.
After finding the crux of the matter, Si Yuan laughed out loud: "Haha, you actually want to compete with me, your dad! You are quite ambitious and have great aspirations!"
Yan Huaixiu pursed his lips, feeling as if he was looked down upon by his father.
Although he did realize his mediocrity through comparing himself with his father over the years, he lacked talent but had high ambitions. He didn't care about comparing himself with others and he just wanted to catch up with his father.
Si Yuan saw the unwillingness in Yan Huaixiu's heart. Well, this was not inferiority at all, but a child's longing for his father, and his desire to throw a tantrum and cry because he couldn't catch up with his father.
Si Yuan touched the soft top of Yan Huaixiu's head and said in a gentle voice: "A person's best opponent is actually himself. When you surpass your previous self every moment, you can become endlessly stronger. There is no need to chase after me for the time being. Just surpass yourself first."
Si Yuan gave Yan Huaixiu a big bowl of chicken soup, which helped to clear up the inferiority complex that the boy had developed because of chasing him.
After Yan Huaixiu finished his father’s psychology class, he happily sent a group reply to his classmates and teachers - Yes! He is my father! My dad is the strongest!
After receiving the accurate reply from the person concerned, Yan Huaixiu's teachers and classmates all fell into a similar situation as Wang Lili. They were so excited that they were shaking and couldn't even type properly.
After they recovered from the shock, they excitedly announced the news to everyone: "My student/classmate Yan Huaixiu is actually the son of Martial Ancestor! He is the son of Martial Ancestor! I am in the same class with the son of Martial Ancestor!"
As long as one person knows this explosive news, it will quickly spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and quickly spread through the Internet.
The entire network was shaken, and all major social networking sites were paralyzed for half an hour and were restored only after emergency repairs.
Almost the entire Internet was discussing this matter, and everyone's attention was focused on the person called 'Yan Huaixiu'.
Yan Huaixiu's former teachers and classmates, everyone who knew him, couldn't help but stand up and say that they once knew the son of the Martial Ancestor. It wasn't because they were trying to get attention, but because they couldn't hold back the desire to share.
At the same time, there was also a person who attracted the attention of people around him because his name was the same as that of the son of Martial Ancestor.
