Chapter 85 A Complete Family
The next morning.
The earth-shattering wails that filled countless townspeople with both fear and a faint sense of anticipation rang out again.
The mayor was blocked at his door.
"God damn it! Where is my sister? Where is my little nephew? Why don't you care? This is inhumane and unjust. Where is justice in this world? What should I do——"
The first time is strange, the second time is familiar.
Ruan Wei cried with much more emotion this time.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, and with genuine emotion, Ruan Wei even knew how to cheat this time.
While howling, she fiercely applied props to herself. The green spiritual energy quietly condensed into water droplets under her clear eyes, and rolled down her beautiful face into the mud.
What a beautiful picture of a goddess weeping.
It would be even better if this goddess didn't open her mouth——
Even though it was early in the morning.
Although people have been missing in the town recently, causing panic among the people.
But there will always be people watching for fun!
When Ruan Wei shouted, the townspeople went out with their homemade melon seed cakes and soon surrounded the mayor's house in three layers.
"Oh, it's the mourner from the day before yesterday!"
"It's them again! I was wondering why their voices sounded so familiar! Her voice is almost as good as the opera troupes we hire during the New Year holidays."
"What's their play this time? A sequel to the last one about family ethics?"
"Let's go, let's take a look."
The crowd of onlookers grew larger and larger.
The mayor, surrounded by a crowd, was completely confused. He spoke cautiously, "This...this fairy, what are you doing? Who is the fairy's sister, and who is the nephew?"
"My nephew's name is Qin Luo."
Xiao Xuan gave the same answer.
Ruan Wei opened her mouth and repeated clearly the information about Qin Luo's mother that she forced Qin Niangniang to tell her last night.
The mayor shuddered all over and shrank back suddenly, his face full of horror.
really.
Ruan Wei gave a look to the senior brother behind him.
Xiao Xuantong began to play the role of the bad guy seriously.
His face was already frosty, and with the raven unsheathed from his waist pointing directly at the mayor, he asked, "Why can't I find my sister's child in this town?"
"He wasn't reported missing, and no one said his life tablet was broken. Tell me! Where did you hide him?"
The mayor stammered and shook his head desperately, "No, Qin Luo... Qin Luo is lost. In a small town like ours, it's common for children to get lost. I don't know where he went--"
"Nonsense, you didn't even report the missing person!"
Wu Yu said, "You haven't looked for him yet, and you haven't announced his death. Are you abusing your power and hiding my nephew?"
She pointed her finger at Ruan Wei and said in a strong voice, "Look how mad you made my sister."
"Be careful, she might die soon."
Ruan Wei followed suit and suddenly howled:
"I don't want to live anymore~~~~~"
Wu Yu then pulled Chi Jin, who was huddled behind him with a gloomy face, forward and said righteously:
"Show us your fortune cards, or my little brother will faint from anger."
Chang Huaijin was the same as always, calmly acting as a simple repeater, "Yes, look at the fortune cards!"
Chi Jin, "..."
The veins on his forehead throbbed. In his previous life, when he was a disciple of Penglai, Chi Jin was very proud of himself and never showed weakness. Later, when he became the Demon Lord, he became even more arrogant and cold.
I really can't bring myself to act so recklessly.
Last night, Second Senior Sister thoughtfully assigned roles to everyone, under the pretext of getting everyone familiar with each other in advance.
This is really ridiculous!
Chi Jin resisted, but the resistance was in vain.
Ruan Wei cried and glanced at him through her fingers. Seeing that Chi Jin still had a cold face and didn't say a word, she raised her foot and kicked him.
Chi Jin stumbled and fell, Ruan Wei still shouting:
"Ouch, my little brother was so angry that he fell down!"
She reached out to support Chi Jin and whispered sinisterly in his ear, "Can you act? Don't force me to beat you."
Chi Jin, "..."
But... damn it, he is so grown up but he is still scared by the threat from the second senior sister.
After being kicked, people become much more obedient.
Chi Jin had a cold face, covered her chest, and recited the lines dryly, "Ah, my heart hurts, I'm about to faint."
Onlookers, “…”
This is too fake.
Do you really need to rub the audience's IQ into the ground?
Ruan Wei, “…”
Okay, Chi Jin has tried hard.
Something is better than nothing.
Ruan Wei even felt that the AI lines of the salvation system were more emotional than Chi Jin's.
But their purpose was not to make the performance believable, they just wanted to make a big deal about Qin Luo's disappearance.
The mayor was sweating profusely. "Everyone, don't be so anxious. I... who are you to Qin Luo?!"
He suddenly changed the subject, "Qin Luo is an orphan. Everyone in our town knows that he was raised by Empress Qin. How could he have relatives like these?"
Ruan Wei wiped his face and asked sincerely, "How do you know we are not?"
"I'm her second aunt."
The mayor was speechless. "Where did Qin Luo get his second aunt? His mother is clearly an orphan without a father or a mother!"
"Be careful what you say. Just because someone doesn't have a father or a mother doesn't mean they can't have brothers or sisters?" Xiao Xuantong said righteously, "I'm his uncle."
Chang Huaijin, "I am the second uncle."
Wu Yu said, "Auntie, I am your auntie."
The four of them looked at Chi Jin in unison, especially Ruan Wei, whose eyes were filled with intimidation.
Chi Jin, "...I am Qin Luo's uncle..."
The last two words were practically squeezed out from between his teeth.
The whole family is together.
A collection of relatives, just have a mouth~
Onlookers, “…”
What a family ethics drama! Every relationship is both reasonable and inexplicable.
The mayor was also shocked by the shamelessness of the five of them. He knew clearly that they were being unreasonable, but facing the raven in Xiao Xuantong's hand, under the threat of force, he did not dare to deny it.
The mayor questioned, "You, since you are Qin Luo's relatives, why didn't you come to look for him for more than ten years, and only came to look for him after he disappeared?"
You're playing the victim blaming theory, right?
Not a perfect victim, right?
"Hey, that's not right."
Ruan Wei spread his hands and said, "How do you know we didn't look for anyone for more than ten years? Maybe it took us more than ten years to find this place?"
She shook her finger, "If you suspect someone, you need evidence. Otherwise, go find a direct disciple of the Wanjian Sect."
Ruan Wei spoke with conviction, as if he was really hoping that the mayor would agree to call the two of them over.
Mayor?
He had something to hide, so naturally he didn't dare to do that.
The mayor waved his hands quickly, his face flushed, "No, no, no, there's no need to trouble the immortals of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
"You are being unreasonable!"
Xiao Xuantong snorted coldly, "You know whether you are being unreasonable or not."
"You reported that young men in town were missing, suspecting a demonic cultivator. The earliest missing man you reported was not even older than Qin Luo. As the mayor, what is your intention in being so partial and perverting the law?!"
"I now not only suspect that something has happened to Qin Luo, I suspect that something has happened to them all!"
Wu Yu added fuel to the fire, "Right! You hid the horoscope from everyone. What are you trying to hide?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly became chaotic:
"Oh my god, what is he talking about? Demonic cultivators! There are demonic cultivators in our town?!"
"I heard about the disappearance, but didn't they say the horoscopes were all in good condition? Mayor! Can you put the horoscopes out for everyone to see?"
"Yeah, yeah! Just take a look, it'll make you feel more at ease!"
"Look at the fortune cards! Fortune cards! Fortune cards——"
The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone's heated discussion was finally frozen on the fate card.
After all, the fate card is the most powerful proof.
All the townspeople are afraid that they will be the next to go missing, and everyone's focus is only on themselves.
When the mayor's case involves the safety of most people, this farce should no longer be just a family ethics drama.
Seeing this, Ruan Wei chuckled.
Very good, things are going smoothly just as she expected.
The wailing is to attract a crowd.
Ruan Wei didn't think that they could convince the mayor to take out the fate card just by talking.
Only when the crowd is large enough and the voices that are in line with the collective interest can drown out all sources of resistance, people will tend to choose the side that is beneficial to them, even if the thing has not happened yet.
Seek benefits and avoid harm, fortune and misfortune are interdependent.
-
The teacher's home is in a remote part of the town.
In a room.
After listening to the whole thing, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile. His smile was pure and the light in his eyes kept flowing, which was very dazzling.
Chen Yuan rubbed the child's head beside him and said, "The innate spiritual body is indeed good at observing people's hearts."
This Ruan Wei is very smart.
Adding fuel to the fire, fanning the flames, really good at taking advantage of others.
Chen Yuan, "Right?"
"Qin Luo."
Chen Yuan felt the still solid top of Qin Luo's head and was a little surprised. "Spiritual cultivation is really good at repairing souls and bodies. You, a half-demon, can actually condense souls."
The child in the green dress shrank back, looked up at Chen Yuan, pursed his lips and said nothing.
He didn't answer, and Chen Yuan didn't get angry either. He just casually sat down on the bed and chuckled, "It's just... they claim to be your uncle and your aunt. How come I didn't know you had so many relatives—"
"Then who am I? Qin Luo."
After a while.
Qin Luocai shouted:
"...Uncle."
Chen Yuan sighed, his eyes gleaming with coldness, but his voice was gentle, "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon..."
