I don't want to come up with a funny book title anymore.

Xie Fengnan felt he had a lot to say, but at the same time, he felt there was nothing to say.

It's all in the past now. Bringing it up won't change anything. Besides, others may not know, but you know you cheated. It's not that bad.

But to be honest, when he was losing consciousness, he couldn't help but think, why me? Why not Xie Xinghe?

But he was quickly able to convince himself again.

If it were Xie Xinghe, he would have died eight hundred times over. At least I have a cheat code. The chosen one must first endure hardship and toil...

Classic self-deception and finding joy in hardship.

According to Xie Fengnan's plan, he originally intended to go to the Imperial Star step by step according to the normal procedure.

Based on what they have seen and heard, they can then decide whether or not to "recognize their ancestors and return to their roots".

However, plans can't keep up with changes, and the appearance of the spatial wormhole brought him and Xie Xinghe together.

As a matter of course, he was immediately placed in the Xie family's main residence to meet the parents.

Look at this huge villa! Look at this magnificent estate!

I'm the ultimate winner in life!?

Cough cough, I'm not that kind of person.

But I have to say, the young master's life seems visibly comfortable.

As Xie Fengnan's thoughts wandered again, Gu Huanyan gestured for the others to follow her.

"Although Nan Nan has been away all these years, we have prepared everything we need for him, but it still depends on whether Nan Nan is satisfied."

"I think I probably have nothing to complain about," Xie Fengnan said, confident that he was an easy person to please.

As the group moved forward, their perspective shifted to the third floor.

Gu Huanyan stopped in her tracks.

"Nan Nan, this whole floor is yours. Shall I show you around?"

Xie Fengnan was dumbfounded.

Xie Fengnan shook his head.

"No need, we'll just take a look around—no, isn't that right!?"

Although Xie Fengnan knew that the Xie family couldn't be stingy, wasn't this going a bit too far...?

Take a look at Xie Xinghe. Very well, you can't see anything.

They glanced at Chu Jiaoyang again, and the two of them seemed to be exchanging eight hundred words with just a look.

Facing Gu Huanyan's concerned gaze, Xie Fengnan lacked confidence: "This... is something I can accept?"

It's unclear what Gu Huanyan was imagining, but she looked at Xie Fengnan with even more affection.

"Of course, you are your parents' precious baby."

Thump thump—thump thump thump—

It was the sound of Xie Fengnan's heartbeat.

At this moment, he couldn't describe the feeling, but he felt that all his years of perseverance had not been in vain.

Did Xie Fengnan get the answer he wanted?

He asked himself this.

maybe.

That's how he answered himself.

"Thank you."

Xie Fengnan smiled brightly.

Chu Jiaoyang and Xie Xingmo watched this scene with deep emotion.

Xie Fengnan turned his head and saw Chu Jiaoyang's eyes filled with the love of an old father, and chuckled inwardly.

She gave him a threatening look, which provoked Chu Jiaoyang so much that he immediately looked away.

Although Gu Huanyan wanted to spend more time with Xie Fengnan and ask him why he had become like this.

However, the sudden appearance of the young master of the Xie family has stirred up the peaceful empire, and many things will change as a result.

There are some people and some things that she has to do in person.

Moreover, Nan Nan also needs time and space.

Gu Huanyan smiled gently at Xie Fengnan, "Nannan, have fun with your friends. Mommy is going to take care of some things and will be back soon. You can contact Mommy or Xingxing if you need anything."

"Okay." Xie Fengnan replied obediently.

Watching Gu Huanyan leave, Xie Fengnan really wanted to immediately engage in a tense and exciting gossip session with his gossip buddy, Chu Jiaoyang.

But Xie Xinghe is still standing there.

Xie Xinghe had obviously noticed Xie Fengnan's little tricks. The family meeting could wait until Xie Liuguang returned, so he didn't intend to pry into it now.

"We'll have someone deliver your personal terminals to you shortly."

For the Xie family, acquiring two legitimate terminals would be a piece of cake, if not a dream come true.

As for Xie Fengnan's terminal, all I can say is that he was never an unregistered user.

"Thank you for your trouble, brother." Xie Fengnan continued to play the innocent card.

Xie Xinghe couldn't resist patting Xie Fengnan's head.

"So nice."

Then, Xie Fengnan, who looked completely bewildered, Chu Jiaoyang, who didn't dare to utter a word, and Xie Xingmo, who had a blank expression, left.

Xie Fengnan dared to be angry and speak out: "Damn it! It makes a handsome guy lose his class if he gets his head patted!"

However, considering that he treated me quite well, it's not unforgivable.

Xie Fengnan led Xie Chu and the other person to a room that seemed to be set up as an audio-visual room.

Surprisingly, I spotted a phonograph on a row of counters that would be considered an old object even on ancient Earth, so I casually fiddled with it for a bit.

"Boss, now you can let your brothers hear this gossip, right?" Chu Jiaoyang couldn't wait as soon as he entered the room.

"Do you think it's better to have the revenge plan of the second young master of a reborn wealthy family, or the untold stories between me and the wealthy family?"

"Can't we publish two separate books for each version?"

"This difficult task is entrusted to you."

Xie Fengnan coughed lightly and began to organize his thoughts: "But actually there's not much to say. I was kidnapped by Gao Zhi and his men shortly after I was born. My family searched for me for many years. Not long ago, we blew up his base through our tireless efforts. You all know what happened after that."

"So, boss, you're the real Xie family member, and Lao Mo isn't? Then what about your eyes—is that something I can know?" Chu Jiaoyang boldly satisfied his curiosity.

Xie Fengnan looked thoughtful.

"Well...you know they like to use us for all sorts of experiments."

"At that time, they wanted to know if I would die after losing my golden eyes."

"What changes will transplanting items containing the power of Xuanming and Zhulong bring to me?"

"They didn't want to waste the eyes they had removed, so they gave them to Xingmo."

"After all, for them, experimental subjects are just a kind of experimental consumable. As long as they want, they can have countless materials."

When Xie Fengnan recounted the events, his tone was calm, as if he himself had not experienced them.

"But you only have one boss!"

Chu Jiaoyang felt it was unreasonable. Even if experimental subjects like him and Xie Xingmo could be used at will, how could Xie Fengnan, who carried the purest divine dragon bloodline of the Xie family, be treated like this?

You have to understand that if Xie Fengnan dies, there won't be another Xie Fengnan to build for them.

"Perhaps—do you think they might have discovered the secret of our family's bloodline?"

Xie Fengnan tilted his head.

"Hiss—" Chu Jiaoyang wondered if his older brother was practicing his logical thinking again.

Logically speaking, after spending sixteen years in the lab, those lunatics should be able to find out even what color underwear Xie Fengnan likes to wear.

Although they were already struggling to keep an eye on Xie Fengnan for the next two years, otherwise Dr. Gao Zhi wouldn't have prepared a way to escape in advance.

However, Xie Fengnan has always been a mysterious and powerful figure in Chu Jiaoyang's eyes, so it cannot be ruled out that he has some means to mislead the judgment of those madmen.
