Then I talked to Xu Feng for a long time.
Just as I had guessed, this seemingly glamorous family was actually already in ruins.
The most apt description, as I've said before, is that it's all show and no substance.
"Brother Chen, I wish we had met sooner! You are truly my soulmate. If you had met me sooner, I would have definitely made you my godfather!"
After Xu Feng finished speaking, he knelt down in front of me. He spoke with great sincerity, but I just felt a little disgusted.
Xu Feng is actually a bit younger than me at his current age, and when I first met him, he was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
The key point is that I also assumed Xu Feng was an old monster, and this old thing knelt down next to me and said he wanted to become my godfather.
Something just doesn't seem right.
"No need for godfather, we're more like brothers!" I waved my hand, deliberately being polite.
But I regretted it as soon as I said it, because I felt that Xu Feng was waiting for this.
"Alright, then let's seize the day and become sworn brothers right now!"
Xu Feng held my hand, looking at me like I was a gay friend.
I initially thought Xu Feng was a handsome man with delicate features, but for some reason, when he grabbed my hand, I felt that his face had become a bit rounder and he even had a bit of a beard.
"Tell me more about their family!"
I quickly withdrew my hand and continued to inquire about the He family.
Xu Feng didn't hesitate and sat down in front of me, telling me everything he knew.
After talking for about half an hour, he still wasn't satisfied and told me he was going to go to the study to get two books for me, and asked me to be patient.
I nodded, telling Xu Feng to go ahead without worry, that the three of us would definitely not wander off.
Xu Feng then left the front hall.
What do you two think?
I glanced at Old Knife and Ant, asking for their opinions.
"Anyway, he's completely different from the Xu Feng I met before; their personalities are very different!"
The previous person was as composed as ice, but this one is far too impetuous!
Old Dao stroked his chin and shared his thoughts.
I nodded, without denying it.
Because this is also my own opinion.
I've met both of Xu Feng. The first time I met him, he was a middle-aged man who had a very calm and composed demeanor.
He was extremely shrewd and calculating, as if everything was under his control.
As for the one I'm talking about now, he seems like a hothead, someone who hates evil but has absolutely no brains.
"I feel the same way. I've never met the Xu Feng you mentioned, but all I know is that the kid we're meeting now is an impulsive guy, not a bad person!"
When the ant noticed that both of our eyes were on him, it thought for a moment and quickly gave its assessment.
"That should be it. Let me see what the booklet says!"
As I spoke, I opened the booklet, and now a picture appeared on the title page.
He marked the names of all 130-plus members of the family.
Some people's names are written in red, while others' names are written in black.
I touched the black writing with my hand; it exuded a faint sense of evil.
"It seems that the name written in black ink has been corrupted by evil spirits!"
I smelled my fingers, and I was absolutely certain that it was some kind of evil energy.
"Where is Xu Feng?"
Old Knife and Ant spoke in unison, their eyes fixed on Xu Feng.
"Of course it's red, and a bright, shiny red!"
I opened the booklet and pointed out Xu Feng's name to Lao Dao and Ant.
"Wow, I didn't expect this guy to be a good person!"
Old Dao was a bit dumbfounded after reading it; it wasn't quite what we expected.
"He might have started out as a good person, but turned bad over time! This happened two hundred years before our time!"
I can understand that.
That's a full 200 years, a period in which anyone can undergo fundamental changes.
"Brother Chen is right, and Xu Feng's later personality transformation may also be related to his experiences over the past 200 years!"
The ants were echoing my sentiments.
And at that moment, I noticed once again that there was some extra content in the booklet.
"The entire family has gradually been targeted by evil spirits, and what the evil spirits want to eliminate most are the demon hunters—the good people who protect the entire family and kill the bad guys!"
These are words from this notebook again.
This mission is practically an open secret.
But that's precisely why I felt so strange.
Something's not right, absolutely not right.
This mission was explained too bluntly.
"Old Knife Ant! This demon hunter must be referring to He Yun and his group, right? After all, they are the real demon-suppressing family!"
I have made a fairly reasonable guess.
"But he didn't say exactly how many Witchers there are. I think there's only one!"
Old Dao rubbed his eyes; his imagination was as wild as ever.
"Oh? What are your thoughts? Tell me quickly!"
I was very interested in what Lao Dao said.
The person with the most creative ideas in our team is Lao Dao; he always comes up with some truly innovative thoughts.
"This booklet is generally very rigorous. If there are many Witchers, he should say Witchers!"
But only one witcher is mentioned here, so I boldly guess that there is only one witcher!
Old Dao became more and more excited as he spoke, feeling that he was getting close to the truth.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Old Dao, Old Dao, you really are a genius. He did discover some things that we usually don't notice.
"So who do you think this witcher is?"
I was breathing a little fast.
This time, I choose to trust Lao Dao.
"Brother Chen, if you trust me that much, I'll be frank. I think this demon hunter is Xu Feng!"
Old Dao looked at me in silence for a long while before finally giving his answer.
"I want to hear the reasons!"
I didn't rush to answer, but wanted to hear the basis for Lao Dao's judgment.
My initial thought was someone like He Yun.
After all, among all the people I've met in the entire family, He Yun is the strongest.
"Because Xu Feng was extremely excited when he heard the word 'evil'!"
It seemed that hunting demons brought him pleasure!
Old Dao explained his judgment to me, and as I listened, I found it increasingly reasonable.
What Lao Dao said cleared up my previous doubts.
I just felt that Xu Feng's eyes were a bit strange, and the way he looked at me was different. If I put what Lao Dao said into account, everything would be explained.
