Chapter 242 The Heavenly Dao?
Tu Yao could clearly feel a chill on the top of her head.
He quickly tugged at Xu Chi: "Xiao Chi..."
Stop talking.
But Xu Chi was unusually slow to notice, as if he hadn't realized anything. "He just brought you to a strange world and put you in a terrible situation. Shouldn't you hate it?"
Tu Yao blinked and remained silent.
The blue light froze, unconsciously shifting behind the progress bar. The ball of light trembled, emitting a faint sound.
Xu Chi continued, "Using a progress bar to bind your life is not a moral act."
Tu Yao stared blankly ahead, as if she had been persuaded by him, and slowly nodded.
"...Indeed, being taken to a strange place, you should hate it."
"After all, it seems like a terrifying prank."
As soon as he finished speaking, even the slightest sound above his head disappeared.
But the next second, Tu Yao smiled.
"But what if this unfamiliar place is the best and happiest place in the world?"
Xu Chi turned around, and Tu Yao was smiling even more happily than before.
"Koike, if that's the case, do you still dislike it?"
Whether it's the orphanage in that world or the Crane Village in this world, they are both her favorite and most peaceful places.
“After He sent you here, the two of you began to depend on each other for survival.”
"No matter what you ask for, no matter how unreasonable the request is, or how much energy it takes for Him, He will still fulfill it and try his best to respond to it."
Tu Yao still remembers that when she first arrived in Crane Village, she had nothing.
Half of his wealth came from Luo's mother, and the other half came entirely from the police.
He clearly likes her calling him "Little Daddy," but he pretends not to. He also doesn't have much energy left, but he saves it for her.
She looked up with a smile: "Do you still hate it now?"
"Later, your lives gradually improved, and His health slowly recovered, but at this time He rarely appeared again."
Since she has been surrounded by more and more family and friends, her stepfather has stopped paying attention to her.
No, it has been sorted out.
For example, when she helped Lin Yue and Lin Jing solve the painting theft incident, and realized that Lin Yue might be her brother, her brother's father took the initiative to respond to her.
For example, when she was preparing to do something bad at a charity auction but hesitated about whether there was any retribution in the world, her stepfather told her that there was retribution, but she didn't need to be afraid.
For example, when she encountered problems she couldn't handle, whether it was the shipyard that day or the fire at the Cheng family's house, her uncle would always step forward to help.
He will appear whenever she is confused or in danger.
At other times, however, he remained a silent bystander.
"Koike, why do you think this is?"
Xu Chi gripped the steering wheel tighter. "...He wants to leave, wants you to get used to life without Him."
But he couldn't rest easy, so he always appeared at crucial moments when she was confused or in danger.
Tu Yao was not surprised at all and nodded nonchalantly.
"right."
“You’re right, He wants to leave.”
“He is hiding many secrets, and He wants to deal with and resolve them all by himself. He is even prepared not to come back.”
"So, Koike, going back to the beginning, do you think this was a prank?"
Would someone like that deliberately play a prank?
Xu Chi gazed intently at her.
Tu Yao answered to herself, "He won't, he definitely won't."
Looking back, whether it was the former welfare home or the current Crane Village, it must have been the best place He could find to settle her.
Whether He sent her away or brought her back, it must have been a last resort for Him.
"So, Koike, don't hate Him, He's a good person."
She wasn't oblivious; she could sense the undisguised anger emanating from Xu Chi.
As she spoke, she casually poked her head.
Unsurprisingly, the ball of light froze.
His body stiffened, but he couldn't dodge her second poke.
Tu Yao couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Chi closed his eyes briefly: "...I understand."
The "person" who brought her into this world seemed very carefree, like a silent guide, ready to withdraw at any time.
But opposite him was Tu Yao, who seemed carefree but was actually meticulous and full of emotion.
She remembered all the good things He did, and even after a long period of silent separation, she still cherished those precious things that were infinitely valuable to her.
If Tu Xiaomao says He's good, then he'll accept it.
"Alright, Xiaochi, now I have no secrets left."
Tu Yao shrugged lightly.
Then, he added solemnly, "Thank you, Koike."
She never imagined that a small pond would appear halfway through the journey to share the burden with her.
"Xiaochi, I'm not afraid of that black mist at all now. I'm sure I can find a way to make it disappear completely."
The last bit of anger in Xu Chi's heart vanished completely.
"Have you got any leads yet?"
Tu Yao frowned, nodded, then shook her head. "Only a little bit."
"I've thought about it, luck isn't the key factor."
"Fortune is merely a tool to prolong its existence. If you want it to disappear completely, you need to know why it exists in the first place."
"But... all we know right now is that it's a cloud of black mist; I don't know anything about it."
Tu Yao suddenly realized something, "Xiao Chi, did you only bring me out today to see the orphanage?"
Xu Chi laughed.
"Of course not."
The orphanage was only a temporary comfort; what could truly put Tu Xiaomao at ease was for that black fog to disappear.
"It is just like Bai Chumeng, disregarding human life and not being cautious or tactful, but it has not shown itself all these years."
Tu Yao's eyes lit up: "You mean he might have existed as a human all these years!"
The smile in Xu Chi's eyes deepened.
Over the years, he has faced off against his opponents at the conference table, engaged in back-and-forth battles with his father and brothers, and even had a misunderstanding with his foolish nephew, Xu Bai.
Only with Tu Xiaomao can I always communicate with exceptional compatibility.
"So finding him as a human being might allow us to capture some of his true information."
"This is the information of everyone in the Bai family."
After the shipyard explosion, the Bai family is in complete chaos. Those who could escape have fled, and those who couldn't are shifting blame everywhere.
It might be like finding a needle in a haystack, but it's better than having no clue at all.
Tu Yao solemnly accepted the thick stack of documents and immediately began to flip through them.
The first few pages were mostly about various relatives of the Bai family, none of whom Tu Yao recognized.
As she flipped through the pages, her gaze suddenly stopped.
—Uncle Tiandao?
Tu Yao frowned.
...The Way of Heaven?
Why choose such a grand name?
She continued reading, "...Bai Chumeng's housekeeper?"
Tu Yao immediately looked up, "...Xiao Chi, I want to see Bai Chumeng again."
