Chapter 264 The world line ends

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"

Just as he entered the new unexpected encounter, Feng Xue heard a voice calling him. Although he was a little more mature, Feng Xue still vaguely recognized that this was the young man who had tested him before.

"Wow, are we going directly into story mode? Or a cutscene?" Feng Xue was about to speak when he saw a "young man" who looked to be in his early twenties rushing over. Looking at his own hands which also looked a little "weathered", he began to doubt whether this golden finger had really arranged a wife for him.

For a moment, I couldn't figure out how to respond.

However, the grown-up boy did not waste words because of his hesitation, but said in a very serious tone:

"Something happened to my little sister, you must help me this time!"

"what's the situation?"

Although he realized that this was triggered by the plot, Feng Xue still raised his eyebrows because he vaguely sensed a familiar smell.

"My younger sister encountered an accident while on a mission and was arrested. As luck would have it, Qingyun had another thief in the army, and before we could rescue him, he was sent to the front line..." The "young man" spoke very quickly. Hearing this, Feng Xue thought to herself:
"So the sister this guy keeps talking about is Xiaojiu from the previous team? I was wondering why the people from the Lou family became the official high-level cannon fodder..."

only……

"You can talk to your father about this kind of thing! Or you can talk to your grandfather. What's the point of telling me?"

Hearing Feng Xue's words, the young man's face immediately fell: "It's still that broken rule. The Lou family will not and cannot have any exchanges with any official forces other than business, and every member of the Lou family must be responsible for his or her own tasks.

"Father, as the next generation head of the family, cannot break the rules to save her. Otherwise, if other members of the family get into trouble during a mission, should we save them or not?

"Not to mention that this matter also involves the policy of resisting aggression. Many people in the clan have also accepted the commission to assassinate Hongying officers. If we negotiate in this regard in the name of Lou, there will be a lot of trouble... If my identity as the daughter of the young master of Lou is exposed, it will be even more difficult to get her back!"

"Is it okay for Lou to mess with Lou Zi..." Feng Xue complained in his heart, but still sighed:
"Then what's the point of you looking for me? I am also a member of Lou's now! Are you planning to kick me out of Lou's? Uh...what does your father mean?"

"My brother-in-law, what are you thinking? My father would kick me out of the house but he won't touch you, okay?" The young man couldn't hold it in any longer and quickly explained -

"There is actually room for this matter to work. After all, I was arrested after completing the mission, so it doesn't count as a mission failure. Moreover, I used a fake identity, so no one knows that she is Lou's killer. It's just that my father is a stickler for rules, and my grandfather is the head of the family, so it's not easy for him to break the rules openly. But we young people can still make some moves."

"So you're just going to let me die?" Feng Xue complained in his heart, but he certainly couldn't say that. Just as he was thinking about how to reply and why the golden finger hadn't popped up an option, the boy took out a thumb-sized tag that looked like a key pendant from his arms and stuffed it into Feng Xue's hand.

"I got this from my great grandfather. With this, I can use all the properties under the Lou family name, and I can also leave the clan land without leaving a trace. I got three this time, one for me and one for the third brother. After much thought, I think you are the most suitable for the remaining one. The three of us brothers will join forces to bring my little sister back..."

"How dare you steal this?" Feng Xue's eyes widened, but the young man immediately reached out to cover Feng Xue's mouth and said:

"You are stupid! That's my great grandfather! The previous patriarch of the Lou family! He was already a top dreamer before my father was born! If he didn't want to, do you think I could have done this? I can't even enter his study room without being sucked into an electric fan by the hanging beam, do you understand? I took advantage of the 'opportunity' when my grandfather and great grandfather were playing chess, do you understand what I mean?"

"Why is your metaphor so vivid..."

Feng Xue complained slowly, and then he noticed that just as he finished his last sentence, the option of the gold finger finally popped up -

[1. Now that you have said this, we must save him!]

[2. What is the intensity of the Qinghong battlefield? Don’t you know? I won’t go!] [3. ()]

"Oh?" Feng Xue was a little surprised when she saw the blank three. She had been able to choose by herself before because she had the golden collection of Wei Shi's old sword, but here...

Is it because the special option itself is there, or...

When Feng Xue came to this thought, he immediately looked around and made sure that he did not find any words such as "consume 1 miracle point". Then he began to think about his options here.

In fact, there is no choice here. He is a member of the Lou family, but in the final analysis, he is an outsider. The son of the young master wants you to save the young master's daughter. As the designated son-in-law, will you go? If you don't go, will you still be a member of the Lou family?
The question is, how to get there.

After all, this "young man" is the eldest son and grandson, and he cannot be compared with a girl with a hidden identity!

As he was thinking, Feng Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he immediately opened the brackets and started typing, and then...

[You reported Lou Hua's theft of the elders' token and the subsequent plan to Lou Fan. Then, while Lou Fan was carrying Lou Hua and Lou Fei to the confinement room, you used the last token to leave the Lou clan and headed to the front line to look for Lou Shuang...]

[You have obtained "Lou's Secret" (blue). ]

"By the way, Xiaojiu's real name is Lou Shuang? Hmm, the eldest grandson of the Lou family is Lou Hua? The one he calls the third brother is Lou Fei? What about Lou Fan? The head of the family? Or the young master?" Feng Xue silently memorized the relatives' information of his former teammates, and then looked at the prop that seemed to be a fixed drop:

Title: Lou's Secret

Category: Professional Tools

Quality: blue rare

Effect: Unlock or upgrade a sports skill by one level (capped profession).

Note: There are three copies of the Lou family's inheritance. The "True Transmission" is an ancient inheritance passed down from before the Christian era to the present day, which records various assassination techniques and is the foundation of the Lou family. The "Direct Transmission" is an exclusive architecture that has been passed down and perfected among the seeds of the law of cause and effect from generation to generation. It is the Lou family's trump card. This "Secret Transmission" is between the two, telling how to combine architecture with assassination techniques. The content is relatively superficial, but it is precisely because of this "superficiality" that has been refined for hundreds of years that it is a technique that any architect can master.

……

"Good stuff!" Feng Xue's eyes lit up when he looked at the collection. The professional-level skill point was not a big deal and was directly used by special weapons. What was really worthy of attention was the knowledge recorded in this secret book.

Feng Xue has the assassination skills honed over twenty years of career as a killer, and the structural foundation that has reached its peak due to being stuck in the realm of the Questioner of the Heart, but the part of combining the two is entirely up to him to figure out on his own.

It’s not that what he had learned was weak, but he wasn’t so arrogant as to think that the skills he had figured out in “half a lifetime” could catch up with the accumulation of hundreds of years and dozens of generations in other people’s families.

Even if it's just adding some details, it's definitely not a loss!
After exiting the node with satisfaction, Feng Xue immediately saw the fixed ending of the second layer. Without any hesitation, he clicked to enter——

[Through Lou's channels, you found the unit where Lou Shuang served. In order to remove the bomb on the collar around Lou Shuang's neck, you sneaked into the command post of the bandit army. You joined the Qingyun Army.]

[You have obtained Squinty Eyes Are Monsters (Blue)]

"Oh, no, how did he join the Qingyun Army? Was he arrested for sneaking into the military camp? Or was it a judicial transaction? It can't be the end of the world line, right?"
