Chapter 111 The Unlucky Guys Around the Chosen One - The Unlucky Brother is Heavy...
After all, they were two people who fell in love freely and grew old together in their previous life. Having spent so much time together in this life, Si Ping didn't believe that Chu Feng wouldn't like Si Qi.
When they first met, Si Qi was still young, and Chu Feng habitually viewed him as a younger brother. Now that Si Qi is in a relationship, he has finally realized the truth, felt a sense of urgency, and understood that his feelings for Si Qi were not entirely pure.
Mrs. Si sighed and rubbed her forehead: "We should make it up to Chu Feng later. Sigh... He has no parents and no friends. When something like this happens, there's no one to help him."
Even the couple themselves tacitly allowed Si Qi to have a crush on Chu Feng for so many years, never once reminding Chu Feng of it...
This is what I did.
Father Si's tone became more serious: "We need to keep a close eye on Xiao Qi from now on, and we can't let him do this again!"
It's precisely because Si Qi has left such a good impression over the years that his sudden use of tricks is so unexpected and catches people completely off guard.
Who would believe that Si Qi would use tricks to deceive people? Si Qi's kindness is so selfless and warm that it's comparable to the sunshine in the sky. He will immediately lend a helping hand to anyone in need, and he will stand up for justice no matter how difficult it is. He treats everyone he comes into contact with with sincerity.
But this Si Qi is completely different when it comes to Chu Feng... Who would believe that if this got out? A lot of people would probably instinctively think that there's something wrong with Chu Feng.
Furthermore, if Si Qi were to fall for someone else one day, Chu Feng would definitely be the one who was cheated on and everyone would suspect that he was the one who wronged Si Qi.
The couple sighed repeatedly, their words becoming increasingly absurd. Si Ping couldn't help but speak up for his younger brother: "There's no need for this! Xiao Qi is definitely sincere towards Chu Feng."
He even complained that Chu Feng hadn't put in any effort to pursue him, and had just gotten his brother as a perfect match for free.
Si's parents glared at him: "You're single, what do you know!"
Si Ping gritted his teeth: "..." He was furious!
It can only be said that Si Qi's preparations over the past few years have been truly thorough. His parents, who dote on him, have turned against him, feeling that their family owes Chu Feng a great deal. They wholeheartedly hope that Chu Feng is with Si Qi willingly, not forced by him—they haven't even had time to consider that this brat Chu Feng has tricked their youngest son away.
"Speaking of being single..." Si's mother suddenly said, "Xiaoping, you don't actually like boys, do you?"
Si Ping's lips twitched: "I'm not interested in men."
"That's good." Mrs. Si breathed a sigh of relief: "Dad, Mom and your brother, the business has grown bigger and bigger over the years. It wouldn't be good if the company didn't even have an heir in the future."
It's one thing for the couple to be good at making money, but Si Qi's business talent is even greater than theirs combined. He will definitely be able to run the company to the top in the country in the future.
In addition, Si Qi himself is not fond of money. Doing charity work every year is like doing a daily check-in task. He doesn't even blink an eye. He also often encourages him and his wife to participate in charity work with Chu Feng.
With his personality, he would definitely be willing to hand over his possessions to his brother or his brother's heir. Therefore, we need to prepare in advance. We can't let Si Ping end up like Si Qi, without even a child. Otherwise, the Si family's vast enterprise, the hard work of two generations, would just end up in the pockets of the shareholders or Si Ping's uncle. Just thinking about it is too depressing.
Si Ping was surprised: "Give them all to me?"
"If we don't give it to you, who else can we give it to? It's going to be between you two brothers anyway." Si's parents sighed and said, "Since you're not interested in business, we'll hand the company over to your brother. Your brother is good at making money, and he'll definitely earn more than the shares we give you right now."
After so many years together, Si Ping's parents had long realized that Si Ping truly had absolutely no talent for business. He devoted all his interests to studying, and forcing him to do things he wasn't good at would only cause him pain, and it would be painful for Si Ping's parents to watch as well.
Everyone has their own strengths, and this cannot be forced.
Si Ping was silent for a moment, then smiled with a relaxed expression.
So that's how my parents' wills were distributed in my past life.
I see... I knew it.
--
Because he had "hurt" Si Qi, Chu Feng felt very guilty for a while, feeling that he had let Si Qi down and had failed the trust that everyone in the Si family had placed in him.
But he felt guilty for only two days. Before he could assure his parents and Si Qi that his feelings were not out of guilt or responsibility, nor to atone for his sins, Si Qi took the initiative to confess to Chu Feng that the blond-haired man was not actually his boyfriend. He had only hired someone to put on this show to provoke Chu Feng.
Chu Feng was stunned for a long time after hearing this. He didn't care that Si Qi was lying, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief after repeatedly confirming that Si Qi was not hurt by his recklessness and was not sad.
"It's okay. I was just too stupid before. I never realized that we actually liked each other." Chu Feng said with a wry smile, "You were afraid that I would reject you after you confessed to me, so you used this roundabout way, right? I can understand."
Mr. and Mrs. Si said apologetically, "We know Xiao Qi is lying, but we didn't tell you the truth..."
"It's alright, I was just too caught up in the situation to see clearly," Chu Feng said. "The fact that you did nothing back then, despite how much you cared about Xiao Qi, speaks volumes."
Si Qi's parents did not help him lie or cooperate with his act; this was no different from exposing him to his face.
Chu Feng easily fooled her. After finding out that Si Qi was with someone else, she panicked and lost her mind.
Si's parents had been very kind to him. They didn't blame him for taking their son away. Instead, they apologized to him after Si Qi confessed, saying things like, "We trust you with Xiao Qi," and "If he treats you badly, you must tell us." This made Chu Feng feel embarrassed.
Si's parents were really good to him, taking great care of him since he was a child. Even his parents had never considered his feelings in this way.
In his heart, everyone in the Si family was exceptionally good, and Chu Feng was very happy to receive the blessings of both parents.
The shadows of his youth have long been dispelled, and now Chu Feng is happy every day.
After that day, Chu Feng got her wish and became Si Qi's lover. Like two semicircles finally pieced together, they got along more harmoniously and perfectly than before.
Because he was wholeheartedly good to Si Qi and treated the Si family as his own, Si Qi's parents reciprocated with genuine affection, regarding him as their third child, working alongside him, and mentoring him.
As for Si Qi, who should have worked with his parents, he rarely appeared at the Si family company. His business acumen was off the charts from the start, and his money-making ability was like having a Midas touch, so Si's parents didn't need to worry about him at all.
Many of the project proposals that passed through Si Qi's hands were so classic that they seemed to be written directly into textbooks. Si Qi's parents often asked him for advice, and after receiving his guidance, they worked very well at the company every day, as if they were more than ten years younger when they started working.
After spending several years together, one day, Chu Feng, returning from the company, passed by the Si family's living room, which had long been his home. Seeing his long-absent brother-in-law finally come out of the research institute, he smiled and said, "You're finally back. Is doing scientific research that interesting?"
Chu Feng had good grades since childhood and performed exceptionally well at work, but his actions were mostly just to fulfill his assigned duties, and he didn't actually have much enthusiasm for them.
Unlike him, each member of the Si family has their own hobbies. For example, Si Qi likes doing charity work, his parents like doing business, and Si Ping likes doing research.
“That’s interesting,” Si Ping said without hesitation. “If I could, I could stay in the research institute for the rest of my life.”
Si Ping had wondered before why her parents loved their work so much, even neglecting their children for their careers, as if they wanted to live in the company 24 hours a day.
Now, Si Ping often declines family dinner invitations because of his research. Even though they live in the same city, he prefers to stay in the research institute working on his projects rather than go out for a meal with his family.
This doesn't mean he doesn't care about his family; it's just that the experiment is more appealing to him.
His parents had no objections and showed plenty of understanding.
"Perhaps different families will have different ways of getting along," Si Ping smiled.
Even if parents live with their children year-round, they may not necessarily care much about them. Aside from food, drink, and grades, parents often don't understand their children's thoughts at all, and when they get emotional, they may even scold or beat their children.
As for the Si family, although the parents were busy with their business and rarely saw each other, they never made any demands on their two children when they were together.
Who would dislike parents who readily transfer money into their accounts, strongly support their children in pursuing their passions, and never complain even if their children do nothing for them?
Their only requirement for their child is that he/she stays alive.
So Si Ping let go of his self-pity and stopped feeling neglected. Not to mention, he had the best younger brother in the world. When Si Ping mentioned his future dreams, his brother immediately took out over a billion yuan of his own money to build a research institute just for him.
He is already luckier than most people in the world; every day after his rebirth is filled with immense joy.
There's nothing to be ungrateful for.
"Hobbies..." Chu Feng said thoughtfully, "Then my hobby should be Xiao Qi."
“…………That’s too much,” Si Ping said speechlessly. “I haven’t been back for so long, is it necessary to stuff me with PDA the moment we meet? And if you said that in a TV series, people would definitely complain that it’s cheesy.”
Chu Feng looked bewildered: "I didn't..."
He just said something perfectly normal.
He truly loved Si Qi. Every day, his mind wasn't on work or the future, but on the person beside him.
He devoted his life to his beloved Siqi “career” and found unparalleled joy in it.
Isn't this just like what my older brother said?
"..."
Seeing Chu Feng's self-righteous expression, Si Ping didn't want to say anything. Having been single for two lifetimes and actually over thirty years old, he still didn't understand the feeling of being in love. Refusing to be subjected to Chu Feng's one-sided display of affection, he changed the subject, saying, "I met Si Qingshan today."
"Who?" Chu Feng asked blankly.
“My cousin,” Si Ping said.
Si Qingshan, the son of Si Dabo, lived under the same roof as Si Ping for thirteen years.
In their past life, because Si's eldest uncle was very good at disguising himself, and Si Ping, with his inferiority complex, never thought of complaining, Si's father and eldest uncle maintained a good relationship. Subsequently, Si's father helped Si Qingshan and his sister with their studies and work. The family not only lived very comfortably with Si's father's help, but also repaid kindness with enmity, taking advantage of Si's father and mother's passing to repeatedly try to seize the inheritance from Si Qi and his brother.
Things are different now. Because of Si Qi's intervention, Si's parents saw through that family's true colors from the very beginning. They would never wrong their son for the sake of their parents and brothers, helping "outsiders" to harm their own family.
So the child support payments that had been ongoing for many years were gone. They had long been used to being lazy and enjoying delicacies while lying down, driving luxury cars and living in mansions. Overnight, they were brought back to their original state.
Uncle Si had no choice but to return to his old business and start it up again after many years of neglect. For that meager income, he stayed in the shop like he was in prison, suffering every day as if he were being tortured.
Their child didn't realize what this meant at first, and continued to study and eat and drink as usual.
But after they finished college and started working, they were exhausted from being tormented by their bosses and colleagues for a monthly salary of three or four thousand yuan. Only then did they belatedly realize how happy they had been, and how wonderful it was to be able to earn money while lying down, and how wonderful it was to be able to work in a big company and get a high salary just by asking a relative.
My parents used to tell me that they were living in jail at the store every day to earn a meager living allowance for the family, and they were very unhappy. That was definitely true.
After all, anyone who sees online every now and then that Si Qi has casually donated tens or hundreds of millions of yuan, and then looks at their own life now, would find it unbearable.
They did go to the Si family villa with their parents and grandparents to try and build connections.
But looking at their cousin, who used to be timid and thin as a bamboo pole, now wearing gold-rimmed glasses and exuding a refined and noble air, they can't help but recall the life they had when the other was by their side.
Scolding, ridicule, contempt...
Having endured such a life for more than a decade, how could he possibly be indifferent to his family and harbor no resentment whatsoever after finally returning to the family that should have been his?
Si's father was clearly a cold-hearted and indifferent person who didn't care about blood ties at all. No matter how much his parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law tried to please him, his attitude never changed.
So Si Qi's uncle and grandparents went to him and stirred up trouble, saying things like, "Your older brother is a few years older than you, and the company will eventually fall into his hands," and "I have more faith in you, and your parents' property will still be inherited by you." They tried to gain benefits from Si Qi by deceiving the underage child and suppress Si Ping, who had opinions about them.
Si Qi didn't stand on ceremony with them at all. With a well-behaved and harmless face, he called his brother and parents over. In front of the elders, he repeated what he had just said word for word.
The adults blushed with embarrassment after being told that, and the next second, the furious Mr. Si called security guards to throw them out.
Si Qingshan and his sister, both young and easily embarrassed, almost burst into tears while standing outside the tightly closed gate.
After that, even when their parents eagerly tried to curry favor with them during holidays, they refused to go no matter what.
It's quite rare to run into Si Ping again after so many years.
"Did he know you were there and deliberately go looking for you?" Si Qi, who had just arrived home after Chu Feng, heard his brother's description and asked with his hand on Chu Feng's shoulder.
“No, it’s just a coincidence,” Si Ping chuckled. “Someone from the research institute bought something and asked a courier to deliver it to the security room at the gate. Si Qingshan was that courier.”
The research institute that Si Qi helped Si Ping set up was located in the suburbs outside the city. In the middle of summer, the place was open and there were few buildings to provide shade, so you would break out in a sweat after standing there for a short while.
Si Ping carried the package and rode his bike all the way from the city center to the research institute, which took a long time. When he arrived, he was exhausted. Attracted by the cool air from the air conditioner when the security guard opened the door, he couldn't help but ask the guard to let him wait in the reception room at the entrance for a while.
Si Ping happened to be passing by at that time and was seen by Si Qingshan.
The two brothers hadn't seen each other for many years. The last time they met was when Si Qingshan lost face at Si Ping's house and was escorted out by security guards.
Looking at his current disheveled state and recalling the luxurious life of the Si family, Si Qingshan was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. He couldn't help but blame Si Ping, whom they had bullied, for all his hardships over the years. He believed that Si Ping had sown discord, causing his parents to refuse to help him, and he rushed up to Si Ping, uttering many sarcastic remarks.
“He said that our family is so rich, but it all ended up in Xiao Qi’s hands, and I didn’t get a single penny. He said that I was disliked since I was a child, and that I deserved what I went through back then, otherwise my parents wouldn’t have prevented me from joining the company and made me work here as a junior researcher.”
In fact, what Si Qingshan said back then was not as tactful as Si Ping is now recounting. His sarcastic and mocking tone would make even an outsider's blood pressure spike.
But the content of the words was so inconsistent with reality that Si Ping couldn't get angry at all after hearing them. He was just curious about who the other person was. Could it be his elementary school classmate from the same village?
It took him a while to recognize his cousin's features on that tired, tanned face.
In my memory, my cousin was always a winner in life. He was pampered by his parents and grandparents from a young age, and he always had the best of everything. After graduation, he was flattered and fawned over by countless people at his company. He seemed more like a rich second-generation than the real rich second-generation himself.
It's normal that he wouldn't recognize her for a moment if she suddenly appeared here dressed as a deliveryman.
His bewildered reaction probably angered Si Qingshan, who was already full of resentment. The young man, with his clothes soaked with sweat, stood in the reception room and started cursing at him, mocking his current miserable situation, saying that he was abandoned by his parents when he was a child and was not regarded as a member of the Si family when he grew up. He also said that Si Qi was scheming and deserved to be played by him.
This last sentence finally touched a nerve with Si Ping. Just as he was about to explode in anger, the security guards who had kindly taken in Si Qingshan, only to have him offend Si Ping in the end, got anxious first. They jumped out, dragged Si Qingshan away, and kicked him in anger: "We kindly took you in, and this is how you repay kindness with enmity!"
"He's just a junior researcher. This is our institute's boss. Everyone works for him!"
"Do you even know how much it cost to build this research institute? Over a billion yuan! And you're still stuck working odd jobs? Aren't you just an employee yourself? How dare you even ask for that!"
"Get out of here right now!"
Si Qingshan was covered in the mouth by several security guards, beaten and cursed, and thrown out, leaving behind Si Ping, who was completely dumbfounded and hadn't even had a chance to say a word before the enemy was driven away.
The unexpected turn of events left him both amused and exasperated, so Si Ping spoke of it with a smile.
He never imagined that the guy who caused trouble for him and his brother in his past life, who seemed so hateful and despicable, would be so unlucky in this life, even though he hadn't done anything wrong.
Si Qi's eyes crinkled into a smile, and his words were resolute: "Of course. Our family will be well in this life and the next!"
Si Ping's heart softened.
It felt like after his rebirth, his life was filled with nothing but good things, without any setbacks.
With his parents alive and well, his brothers harmonious, no burdens from life, no entanglements in interpersonal relationships, and no lack of material resources, he, born into wealth, could do whatever he wanted.
Even in matters of the heart, which he is currently unaware of, he will soon meet a lover at the research institute who shares his interests and with whom he gets along exceptionally well. The two will treat the research institute as their home, and even spend their honeymoon happily in the laboratory.
After the child is born, he won't have to worry about anything. His two uncles will spoil her like a little princess, and her grandparents will raise her to be exceptionally well-behaved. She will sweetly tell him that when she grows up, she wants to be like her parents, a person who contributes to society, and a great scientist.
Of course, he had no idea that his daughter, who said such things, would grow up to be lured away by Si Qi, forget her former "dream of becoming a scientist," and loudly declare that she "would be her uncle's successor," leaving him heartbroken and filled with regret on several nights' nights.
His brother is still the same as before, so good at fooling people.
Everyone outside thought his brother was a philanthropist, a very good person, who took special care of everyone around him, and was especially kind to his older brother.
Only he himself knew the cunning nature that occasionally surfaced beneath his brother's innocent, rabbit-like exterior.
But seeing how many people his brother had helped over the years, changing the fates of countless sufferers, Si Ping thought it was all for the best.
After all, he was the one whose fate was changed because of his younger brother.
If people really can have an afterlife, he would still want to be a family with his parents, brother, wife, and daughter.
And his wish will surely be fulfilled.
This is the most sincere blessing from his younger brother, the world consciousness, and the chief god Siqi, transcending time and space.
...
…
"Studying?"
Si Qi arrived in the new world, and a male voice came from behind him: "Didn't you say you were already admitted to university? What are you still reading? Instead of sitting here looking at the computer, why don't you go to the kitchen and prepare some vegetables for your aunt—you really don't know any better."
Si Qi turned around, glanced at the man who had spoken, then looked away, meeting the bewildered gaze of his classmate in front of the screen.
"I'm tutoring a classmate," Si Qi said. "The mock exam is in a couple of days."
"You're tutoring your classmate?" The uncle yelled, as if his tail had been stepped on. "I asked you to tutor your brother before, and you were reluctant and made a bunch of excuses. Now you're all excited to help your classmate? You're siding with outsiders! I've wasted so many years raising you. At least a dog knows to wag its tail at me!"
The student in front of the screen looked embarrassed, their ears slightly red, and anxiously explained for Si Qi, "No, this was arranged by the teacher... by the school..."
The man scoffed and began to berate the rude and disrespectful fellow. Si Qi turned around and interrupted the incessant chatter, "I don't tutor my cousin because he doesn't want to listen to me. He hits me with his pencil case whenever I get close. As for picking vegetables, since you care about my aunt, you can go over there. My classmates have exams in a couple of days, so things are more important for them."
The man was taken aback that Si Qi dared to talk back. His voice suddenly rose, and he looked fierce, as if he was about to kill someone. He grabbed Si Qi by the collar and pulled him over, saying, "How dare you talk like that? You have no manners!"
The student in front of the screen immediately fell silent. He had never actually witnessed domestic violence before, and he was so frightened that he dropped his pen.
A fleeting hint of impatience crossed Si Qi's eyes.
He understood that this person simply wanted to embarrass the original owner in front of his peers and demonstrate his authority in the family by teaching the original owner a lesson.
In the memories he received, the original owner's parents died when he was young, leaving behind only an apartment in the city center and nearly a million in savings. The uncle "felt sorry" for the original owner, who was only four or five years old and had no parents or anyone to take care of him. He brought his wife and child into the house and slept in the master bedroom of the original owner's parents without any qualms. For the next ten years, he claimed to be the original owner's guardian and brainwashed the original owner by repeatedly saying that he raised him.
Fortunately, the grandparents next door to the original owner were retired university professors who shared similar interests and had a very good relationship with the original owner's parents. After the original owner's parents passed away, the elderly couple took good care of the original owner. They were aware of the uncle and aunt's intentions and repeatedly advised the original owner to study hard, grow up quickly, and take care of themselves and their property in daily life.
Therefore, even though the uncle and aunt never cared about the original owner's studies from childhood to adulthood, and spared no effort to hold him back in life, making him do housework and take care of his younger cousin, treating him as a free nanny and tutor, the original owner still grew up to be the "other people's child" in the eyes of the elders, with excellent grades, an outgoing personality, and excellent interpersonal relationships at school.
Because the original owner was admitted to university early, she didn't need to participate in this exam. So, at the teacher's request, she started a video conference on the weekend two days before the exam to help her classmates answer questions online.
At this moment, sitting opposite Si Qi's screen were actually dozens of students from the entire class, including the teacher. Except for a few who were privately connecting to ask questions one-on-one, everyone else heard Si Qi's roar and their attention was all drawn to him.
Not wanting the arguing to disturb the students' concentration, the teacher reminded them, "Si Qi."
Si Qi nodded, pressed the mute button on the screen, and after freeing himself from the restraints on his collar, said to his uncle, "We'll talk about it later."
The man's eyes grew increasingly fierce, and his voice grew louder rather than softer. Standing there, in front of the entire class of teachers and students, he cursed Si Qi from head to toe, repeatedly calling him an ingrate and a worthless wretch. Then, Si Qi half-pushed and half-dragged him out the door.
Upon returning, the classmates all stood up for Si Qi.
"What the hell?!" The student who was discussing a problem with Si Qi on the video call clenched his fists and punched the air. "Why did he say that to you?!"
The teacher sighed, thinking that this was actually quite good. From a young age, they had been tricking Si Qi into giving them his bank card PIN; at the beginning of the semester, they secretly went to the school to ask the principal to deposit the scholarship into their and his wife's account; knowing Si Qi was going to be admitted to university without taking the entrance exam, they kept saying things like, "You'll be working in the city where you're going to university and won't be coming back to your hometown often, so why don't you transfer the house to our names? We'll help you look after it; family will definitely feel at ease..."
Isn't this kind of upsetting thing even more disgusting than being verbally abused in front of your peers?
She was quite fortunate that Si Qi was open-minded and didn't have the idea of keeping family scandals to himself or trying to solve everything on his own. He knew that he was young and didn't understand many things, so he would take the initiative to ask the teachers for their opinions when he had questions.
The teacher liked Si Qi. Hearing that Si Qi was an orphan and had almost been cheated out of his inheritance by his elders, the teacher confided in him and gave him careful guidance, which prevented Si Qi from suffering a real loss.
Therefore, the teacher was very clear about Si Qi's family situation. She also had a particularly bad impression of that couple.
Hearing the students' murmurs, the teacher interrupted, "Alright, we'll talk about this later. Time is of the essence, so quickly get yourselves together and continue studying."
Si Qi: "Yes, I'm fine here, don't worry."
But... are you really not worried?
Si Qi sighed softly.
During the time he was speaking, Si Qi received all of the original owner's memories. He discovered that the argument just now was merely a trivial matter among the many conflicts that would arise between the uncle and nephew in the future, and that his classmates had indeed worried themselves sick over him, even losing their lives in the process.
The reason is simple: this world is somewhat special. The world's development has just reached a new juncture, and two originally parallel universes have overlapped. The cultivation system and modern technology have inadvertently collided.
While people in modern society can, with the aid of artillery fire, physically confront powerful beings with overwhelming cultivation, ordinary people facing the curses and poisons of demonic cultivators are still doomed to be slaughtered.
Bloodthirsty demonic cultivators slaughtered ordinary people on a large scale, and one city after another fell into ruin, turning the entire world into a living hell.
The world consciousness could not bear to see the creatures it nurtured treated in this way, so it found the original owner who was destined to lead humanity in rebellion against the demonic cultivators and eventually become the spiritual leader of humanity. At the very first moment when time and space began to overlap, it sent the original owner to that world to make early contact with the righteous cultivators there in order to find a suitable solution as much as possible.
The original owner did a great job. Not only did he make contact with the cultivators there in the shortest amount of time, but he also used his modern knowledge to help the mortals there live better lives and became sworn brothers with the righteous cultivators there.
He even figured out a way to use his cultivation to open a space-time channel and exchange resources between the two worlds because of his own transmigration.
High-quality grains cultivated using modern technology can save the lives of countless people in the cultivation world. Meanwhile, the spiritual stones and fruits of the cultivation world are equivalent to miraculous medicines that can revive the dead and heal the wounded, greatly contributing to the development of modern scientific research.
Unfortunately, the location of the time-space portal just happened to be the very spot where the original owner was teleported away by the world's consciousness—his room.
When the original owner was suddenly taken away by the world's consciousness, that is, disappeared into thin air in the eyes of outsiders, for a long time, the original owner's uncle and aunt were overjoyed, extremely happy that the troublesome original owner had finally gotten out of their house.
They had no intention of calling the police to find Si Qi, and were particularly annoyed by the teachers and classmates who came to their door every now and then to inquire about Si Qi's whereabouts, resenting them for making things difficult for them.
So when the original owner opened the time-space portal and tossed a small note and an otherworldly item—a low-grade spirit stone—to explain his whereabouts and request help, his uncle and aunt were initially terrified because of the supernatural event, thinking that Si Qi was dead and his vengeful spirit was seeking revenge. Later, seeing that the note was just a note and posed no threat, they stopped taking it seriously and secretly rejoiced that Si Qi's time travel was so fortunate; no one would ever try to take their house from them again.
It wasn't until later that the original owner realized that the problem wasn't with the time-space channel, preventing the items from being delivered, but rather that the time-space channel was connected to his own home.
He knew exactly what kind of people his uncle and aunt were, so he had no choice but to propose a deal on the note: to exchange cultivation world spiritual fruits for high-yield grain seeds.
The person on the other end finally responded for the first time, writing "Okay" on the note.
Thus began the unequal and unfair trade between the two worlds.
The original owner obtained the modern technological products he wanted, which helped a large number of people in the other world. His uncle and aunt also obtained beauty pills and energy pills that modern people would never dare to dream of, which are non-lethal items.
They first experienced firsthand the wonders of these wonderful products, and then eagerly used them to contact many nouveau riche, earning a considerable amount of money in the process.
With such an easy way to make money, those who are lazy and averse to work will naturally want more, and at the same time, they are even less likely to give up the house that serves as a transit point.
So when the college student came to visit again during the holiday, relentlessly "harassing" the uncle and aunt's family, questioning them about what they had done to Si Qi and whether they had killed him.
Enraged by their interrogation, the uncle and aunt retaliated by grinding their unwanted spirit stones into powder and forcing the classmate to drink it. Unable to withstand the violent, rampaging spiritual energy, the classmate's internal organs ruptured on his way home, resulting in his unexpected death.
The forensic examination couldn't determine the cause of their classmate's death. After the initial panic, the couple felt no remorse whatsoever when they looked at the autopsy report. After posing as suspects and knocking on the doors of wealthy and powerful individuals with longevity pills, nothing happened; instead, another news story about a young person tragically dying from staying up late appeared online.
The original owner's teachers and classmates were unaware of the truth and were still worried about him. Even after he went to university and left the city, they still felt that Si Qi must have been killed by that heartless couple. Otherwise, how could a perfectly healthy person disappear without a trace and have his fate unknown?
Unfortunately, their relentless pursuit of the original owner's whereabouts only fueled the resentment of the couple, whose connections and identities were becoming increasingly sophisticated.
They didn't want anyone to suddenly appear at their house because of Si Qi and accidentally discover the existence of the time-space portal, so they used cultivation techniques to kill everyone one by one. The closer the relationship was with the original owner, the more they wanted to kill them.
So, after the two worlds officially merged, the demonic cultivators arrived on Earth. Because of the original owner of this world, the righteous path of cultivation actively helped the modern world fight against the demonic cultivators, and the fate of ordinary people was much better than in the original timeline.
However, as a price, all the friends, teachers, and students who truly cared about the original owner's whereabouts and worried about his life and safety had already died because of the original owner.
Upon learning the truth, the original owner's resentment was palpable.
Even if he later catches the culprit and pays him with his life, the dead can never come back.
He also couldn't forgive himself, believing that what he provided fueled his aunt and uncle's arrogance and indirectly led to everyone's deaths.
His desire was so strong that Si Qi, a transmigrator, accepted the request and came here.
At this moment, Si Qi looked at his classmates on the other side of the screen, who were still focused on memorizing the knowledge points on the test paper, unaware that they only had a few years left to live. He also felt the pulling force on his body, knowing that he would be sent away in a little while.
I quickly made a decision in my mind.
"Help me contact the world's consciousness," Si Qi said to Xiu Xiu. "Isn't the use of space-time channels allowed? Then help me connect the network signals on both sides."
Xiu Xiu always complies with Si Qi's requests unconditionally. She immediately contacted the world consciousness of this world and quickly received an accurate answer.
As the countdown timer sounded, reminding Si Qi that he was about to travel through time, Si Qi calmly explained the question types to his classmates in front of the camera.
The next second, the countdown ended, the screen suddenly blurred, and Si Qi, who was sitting in the chair, suddenly fell and collapsed onto the rugged, rocky mountain ground.
The student on the other side of the screen was initially stunned, but after seeing the scene clearly, their eyes widened involuntarily: "What... Si Qi?!"
Si Qi looked bewildered, holding the pen and paper he was writing on halfway through, and looked up at his surroundings with a mixture of surprise and shock.
The students were stunned. They jumped up from their chairs, grabbed their computer screens, and shouted, "Teacher! Si Qi suddenly ran outside! No, Si Qi can teleport?!"
The teacher, who was privately chatting with students on another channel to explain a problem, suddenly received a bunch of voice calls. He looked up at Si Qi and was dumbfounded to find his student standing inexplicably in a deserted mountain area, wearing a house dress and holding a piece of paper and a pencil. He was completely speechless.
"What happened?" the teacher asked quickly.
"I saw it with my own eyes!" a student who witnessed the entire process shouted. "Si Qi was in his room one second, and the next second he suddenly appeared here!!!"
The teacher didn't believe it and was about to say how could this be, but a student with fast hands had already watched the replay of the live stream a minute ago, and his tone was incredibly excited: "It's true, teacher! I watched the replay, Si Qi really did teleport away!"
The other students, who were still confused, no longer cared about reviewing the knowledge points. They switched to the camera view of Si Qi and asked all at once, "Si Qi, where are you?"
Why did you go outside?
"There aren't any mountains in our city. Even if you run out of your house, you wouldn't be able to run that fast all at once, would you?"
"Could it really be teleportation? Wow, that's so cool!"
Si Qi stammered, "I...I don't know! I was just explaining a problem..."
