What should I do if the protagonist of every world I travel to is sick?
Chapter 202 Why is my dad my dad?
"Whose beautiful little princess is this? It turns out to be my little Yunyi who is back home."
Lu Jinan was still whispering to Meng Li when a pair of big hands suddenly lifted him up.
He turned his head to look over, and his heart felt like it was suddenly tugged at by someone. A small hand touched his smiling eyes, "Dad?"
Lu Jinan looked at this face that looked exactly like Lu Yan, and his expression could hardly be maintained.
"Look, this kid has come back and can't even call me father." The elegant man looked at the person in his arms and said with a smile to the king who was walking over from the other side, "We told you to end the meeting early, but you made our little Yunyi wait for us for so long."
"As for what Father said, it's your turn to refuse the envoy next time. I've never once said anything bad about you, since you abdicated the throne so early and spent your days traveling with Mother."
Lu Jinan stared at the face of the person in front of him for a long time, then lowered his eyes after reacting, "Father."
The old emperor of heaven smiled from ear to ear, pinching the cheek of the person in his arms with his hands, his eyes full of love, "Hey, are you hungry? As soon as your mother heard that you were back, she sent your aunt to pick you up early. Now she is busy setting up a table of food in the Lotus Palace for us to return."
Seeing that the old Heavenly Emperor ignored him, the man in the cloud-sleeved brocade robe tucked his sleeves in, "I think once my younger brother returns, there will be no place for us brothers in the Lotus Palace."
Lu Jinan looked at his elder brother, the Emperor of Heaven, and saw that he was very different from what he had imagined. He stretched out his hand to him, trying to get him to save him. "Brother, you can take Ayi's seat."
Yunze looked at his cute little brother opening his arms to hug him, and felt his heart being sniped instantly.
"Xiao Yi wants brother to hold her. Okay, brother will hold Xiao Yi."
Lu Jinan watched himself struggling from one embrace to another, his eyebrows furrowed and his mouth slightly open, not knowing how to refuse tactfully. He was probably not at the age where he needed to be hugged anymore.
The old Emperor of Heaven glanced at his eldest son who had snatched his little baby away and kicked him, "You are already the Emperor of Heaven, yet you are so dishonest."
Yunze couldn't let go of the sweet and soft little brother, so he didn't care about the old man who kicked him because he couldn't get it. "Go back and hug your wife. Xiaoyi asked me to hold her."
After saying that, he looked down at his brother in his arms with a little pride, "Xiao Yi wants brother to hold you, right?"
Lu Jinan opened his mouth...but hesitated to speak.
"Ayi wants daddy to hold her, right?"
"Father, you are a scoundrel. Why did you just start snatching?"
"Then let go!"
"No! I'm going to complain to the Queen Mother about your disrespect for the elderly!"
The two older, younger men, both of higher status, were now vying for the right to hug their youngest son and younger brother. Lu Jinan stroked his chin and glanced around. First, on his left, his elegant father, crouched there with a gentle expression, looking him in the eye. On his right, his tall, handsome brother, the Emperor of Heaven, waved at him with a gentle smile.
The maids and waiters who were watching nearby all lowered their eyes and smiled softly. It turned out that a woman who was obsessed with her younger brother and a woman who was obsessed with her younger son were jealous of each other.
Lu Jinan turned his back silently and covered his eyes with his hands.
It’s really...unbearable to watch.
Then he reached out and grabbed the neglected little Meng Li in his hand, "Father, brother, I want to take my little junior brother with me."
Meng Li was flattered to be chosen, and his eyes followed the person who was pulling him ahead.
It was the first time that someone chose him so firmly.
His gaze paused slightly, and in his lowered eyes, he seemed to see the war again.
His father took his elder brother to the Eldar front to help them fight for their safety. The smoke from their homeland burned, and sick and disabled people lay everywhere. At night, he could hear the wailing and resentment wandering around, as well as the whispers of his mother as she carried his younger brother on her back and gave him to someone who was fleeing.
"This must be the orphan that Chiyu took in from the Spirit Tribe."
Yunze is the Emperor of Heaven after all. He put aside his warm attitude towards his family and glanced at the child casually. Meng Li felt the pressure from him so heavy that he couldn't breathe.
"I was wondering if he would choose someone very smart. After all, when he was asked to choose my brother as his apprentice, he refused so much."
Lu Jinan stood in front of Meng Li, slightly blocking the scrutinizing gaze, and the old Emperor of Heaven slapped the Emperor of Heaven on the back.
"Okay, why are you saying this in front of the kids?"
Yun Dian touched the tops of Lu Jinan and Meng Li's heads and said, "If Chiyu keeps him, he will be a member of the Celestial Clan. If Ayi likes him, he will be one of our own."
Meng Li's gaze paused slightly, and he spoke when everyone was least expecting it, "I am a spirit." He raised his head slightly, no longer hiding behind Lu Jinan, but appeared in front of everyone in full view.
The old Emperor of Heaven saw his eldest son with a dark face beside him, glanced at his youngest son's clenched hands, and nodded.
He half-knelt down and faced the younger ones, and patted Meng Li's shoulder lightly.
"That's right. Regardless of whether one's family or country is far away, it's always rare to find someone who can remember their true heart. The world is unpredictable, and human hearts are even rarer. It's rare that you have the heart of a child, looking beyond the obvious," Yun Dian glanced at Lu Jinan and said with a smile, "and not be deceived. You should truly look at people and things."
"I saw that you and Yun Yi are of the same generation, so I said a few more words as an elder. I hope you won't be offended."
Meng Li didn't want to look at that kind and gentle face, so he lowered his head and clasped his fingers together until their fingertips turned white.
Seeing that his brother also wanted to say something, Lu Jinan was afraid that he would say something unreasonable, so he quickly grabbed his hand and led him forward, "Brother, I'm hungry. Please carry me back to find mother."
Yunze was being pushed along by his brother, so how could he not know his intentions? He carried the little figures on his shoulders, thinking that even if he became the Emperor of Heaven, he would still be used as a horse's back, which made him laugh.
Lu Jinan hurriedly waved to his father and junior brother behind him, and ignored his brother's movements.
"Ali, my brother and I are leaving first. You and father must follow!"
Meng Li raised his head and looked at the direction where the cloud chariot was flying. The old Emperor of Heaven beside him also stood up, patted his clothes, looked in the direction ahead, and picked up the child below.
Meng Li's hand tightened around his sleeve, and his pupils contracted slightly. He stared at the handsome face in front of him, which bore a striking resemblance to his senior brother's. He felt a little awkward. "Actually, I'm a bit older than him, but I looked younger due to malnutrition in my early years."
"We are all children, so why should we tell whether he is younger or you are younger?"
Perhaps it was Yun Dian's casual chat or that face that made Meng Li's vigilance and nervousness dissipate a lot, and she was not as resistant to sitting with him as she was at the beginning.
"Actually, I don't understand you."
“Master too.”
"Since you've chosen to attack other spiritual realms, why not kill them all? Aren't you afraid that the remaining ones will harbor hatred and come back to attack again?"
This abbreviation was a bit outrageous, but Yun Dian listened calmly and smiled faintly, "Do you hate us?"
Unexpectedly, he would ask directly. Meng Li avoided his gaze, his expression becoming more uncomfortable. "Not really, I just have a question lingering in my mind."
"Senior Brother Yun Yi doesn't know. I hope Your Majesty won't tell him about these troublesome things."
"Ayi may not be unaware of this. I see that he is always protecting you with such care that anyone with a discerning eye can see it."
"Then don't tell him."
Seeing his steadfast stubbornness, the old God stopped teasing him and began to answer his question. "I don't know if my answer can resolve the doubts in your heart, but, ah, the elders can always give you some wise words."
His eyes fell on his two sons who were competing to perform magic tricks in the cloud chariot in front of him, and the smile in his eyes deepened.
"War isn't decided by one or two people, but no matter what the cause, once the flames of war rage on, casualties on both sides are inevitable. I won't discuss the reasons for the war here. After all, we stand on different sides. As you said, you're a child of the Eldar, and I also have people of the Celestial Tribe who I protect."
"There are different opinions and different statements. It's impossible to judge or argue who is right or wrong."
"You don't understand your Master, you don't understand us, because you are still too young, you haven't experienced some things and you don't understand them."
"Your master was a kind-hearted man. He couldn't bear to see the families of the fallen city separated, so he arbitrarily dismissed some of the city's inhabitants and relocated them to other countries. However, he didn't expect that only a few would survive.
When you were chosen to stay by his side, the Emperor of Heaven and other ministers were puzzled by his disapproval, but he insisted on speaking up for you in the court, saying that a big country cannot be afraid of a child. If it is worried about a child all day long, then the country will no longer be a country.
We have also investigated your identity. Your father, king, and brother were all enemy leaders. Your mother died of illness, and your baby brother was left behind in the migration group. You are just a dying child on a sickbed.
Unfortunately, people's hearts have changed recently and they are still ruthless. Especially the immortals have lost their original moral integrity and become corrupt.
"I'm also destined to be with you. I heard from Chiyu that you were the one I saved. That day, Yunyi was searching for you and found you still breathing. So she carried you back to Yunqi Mountain in her true form and told Chiyu that she wanted you to be her junior apprentice."
His pupils dilated, and he slowly raised his head but paused there, his eyes stagnating briefly.
"Child," the dark and calm eyes looked over, but Meng Li could not see the bottom of them at a glance.
"Whether the person who hurt you deserves forgiveness or not, you deserve a peaceful life. I'm not asking you not to hate us, but you're just a child, and I don't want you to have an emotion in your life that only eats away at you."
"Perhaps one day you will still want to avenge your family and country, but as Akabane said, we are not afraid. You can have hatred, but please don't put it on yourself, and don't let hatred support your growth."
Looking at the stunned child before him, he touched his head. "I'm a leader, so when facing a war with the Celestial Tribe, my first consideration is the interests of my tribe. I'm also a father, so I want to teach a child to forgive. I hope you understand that a father wouldn't want a bad seed to remain with his child."
"I'm not telling you this now because I want you to understand or change anything. I just think that since you've asked me, you have the right to know, whether you understand it or not, and I also have the right to choose to tell you, don't you agree?"
As soon as they landed, Meng Li saw a group of excited people coming towards him. One of them ran up and grabbed his wrist. "I'm afraid you don't know me, so I'll take care of you." He whispered softly in his ear, "If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, don't hide it. Senior Brother is always here."
Meng Li listened to his careful questions, his eyes fixed on his face, then turned to look at the old Emperor of Heaven next to him, his expression serene and calm.
Meng Li lowered his head towards him. Although he did not fully understand what he expressed to him during the call, he could feel a person's kindness and sincerity.
He did not have any great achievements or a fearsome identity. In the eyes of the Celestial Clan, he was just a lamb caught in a den of wolves, a source of entertainment.
He has always thought this way. Even if he is bullied, what can he do? He can only accept it.
There is no right or wrong when it comes to stance, but it is impossible to say that you don't hate.
His eyes were fixed on the smiling face in front of him, and at this moment, he asked himself deep questions in his heart.
"So you hate him?"
