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

"Are these two children with you too?" Gu Huanyan joined the conversation.

"If... it's convenient..." Xie Fengnan nodded hesitantly.

He didn't want things to be this way either. If the Xie family treated him badly, Xie Fengnan would be more justified in his actions.

But they were all very kind to him, and Xie Fengnan didn't want to ruin their good impression of him—or rather, a good impression, right?

"Convenient? How could it not be convenient!" Gu Huanyan wasn't afraid of Xie Fengnan making requests; rather, she was more afraid of Xie Fengnan not making any.

A family is supposed to be tolerant and supportive of each other.

Xie Fengnan was about to say thank you.

“Nan Nan, I heard from Xing He that your golden eyes were transplanted into Xing Mo’s body.”

Xie Liuguang elegantly wiped his mouth.

"Hmm." Xie Fengnan looked at Xie Liuguang. What did the patriarch mean by this?

“Since this is your choice, I won’t ask any more questions.” Xie Liuguang smiled reassuringly. “However, this is, after all, the Golden Eye, so I need him to join the Xie family.”

Xie Fengnan was about to speak.

"I have no opinion."

Xie Xingmo gave a direct answer.

"That's wonderful." Xie Liuguang was very satisfied.

If Xie Xingmo disagrees, they won't do anything openly, but they will definitely arrange some methods in secret.

After all, those were originally Xie Fengnan's eyes. If they can be transplanted, there's no reason why they can't be brought back, right?

However, this would inevitably hurt Nan Nan, and Xie Liuguang would not do such a thing unless absolutely necessary.

It's quite obvious that Xie Fengnan and Xie Xingmo have a very good relationship. Their friendship is precious, and he doesn't want to ruin it. It's a happy ending that Xie Xingmo is willing to do so.

Although Xie Liuguang was very curious about how the two of them had survived, he wouldn't pry unless Xie Fengnan brought it up.

Moreover, the name Xie Xingmo seems to have been premeditated, as if it was prepared for the Xie family. If this was arranged by Nan Nan, he would not have stopped it.

Xie Liuguang thought so.

"In a while, I will add Xingmo's name to the family genealogy." Xie Liuguang put this matter on the agenda.

"Oh, okay." Xie Fengnan brainstormed.

The patriarch's intention is to drop the matter? And even proceed with the story according to my script?

Yes, Xie Fengnan's script is all about getting by with cuteness.

He had absolutely no idea how to begin recounting those dark and desperate past experiences.

He didn't want them to know these things; if it made everyone feel melancholy, it would be his fault.

However, Xie Fengnan never expected that the part concerning the Golden Eyes would also be revealed.

He knew what the Golden Eyes meant to the Xie family, and he also possessed inherited memories.

It's not that no one has transplanted the Golden Eye before. After all, no matter how powerful the Xie family is, they are not invincible and will have oversights.

Without exception, all members of the Xie family who lost their Golden Eyes died.

And what about those non-Xie family members who obtained the Golden Eye?

They initially gained power, but as that power was unleashed, a curse followed.

Everyone who obtains the Golden Eyes dies a violent and gruesome death.

This is why those with ulterior motives later gave up on obtaining this power, no matter how much they coveted it; after all, you have to be alive to spend it, not just to take it.

Xie Fengnan knew the reason behind this.

That's just divine retribution.

The Xie family are descendants of the ancient Yinglong, blessed by Heaven, with a bloodline recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and blessed with good fortune.

Those people used every means to seize the Golden Eye, which is tantamount to going against the will of Heaven. Can Heaven tolerate this?

However, those people didn't know anything about divine retribution; they only thought that the curse was a form of revenge that the Xie family had paid with their lives.

While this isn't the whole truth, it's pretty close.

Because the golden eyes of every member of the Xie family embody their essence, these eyes, to some extent, represent the vitality of the Xie family.

Your life force has been completely taken away, how can you not die?

Unless you also cheat.

Of course, this does not mean that if Xie Fengnan does not die, Xie Xingmo will not be punished by heaven.

After all, Heaven doesn't care whether you're proactive or passive. Unless you're a member of the Xie family, it won't allow anyone else to control this power.

It was Xie Fengnan who used half of his blood to give Xie Xingmo a blood transfusion, and in addition, he communicated with the Heavenly Dao and sincerely expressed that he was doing it voluntarily, which is why the Heavenly Dao did not punish him.

Xie Fengnan felt bad thinking about this unpleasant experience.

He looked really down.

Gu Huanyan noticed his change. "What's wrong, Nannan? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xie Fengnan shook his head. "If you want to know how Xingmo and I survived, I can tell you."

"Nan Nan doesn't have to say if she doesn't want to."

Gu Huanyan didn't want to force Xie Fengnan; she had a gut feeling that this wasn't a happy story.

Memories, sometimes, can also reopen old wounds.

"I'm fine, I just feel you have the right to know."

The Golden Eyes are not unique to him alone. Although his situation is highly unreplicable, it is not without room for maneuver, and records can be left for future generations to refer to.

Before Xie Fengnan began his story, only the six of them remained in the restaurant. Since they were all close friends, Xie Fengnan told the story truthfully.

Gu Huanyan watched as he finished telling the story in simple, easy-to-understand words and a calm tone.

Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.

Why should her precious little one suffer like this?

Xie Liuguang's eyes were also filled with heartache and anger. His golden pupils blazed with fury, and some plans in his mind were taking shape.

Xie Xinghe remained expressionless, but the darkness in his eyes revealed that his emotions were far from calm.

Xie Xingmo had a complicated expression on his face.

To be honest, he didn't know at the time that Xie Fengnan's situation was so difficult.

He had just taken a nap, and when he woke up, he found that the Golden Eyes had been transplanted into his body, and Xie Fengnan's black hair had turned completely white.

He asked why, and Xie Fengnan jokingly replied that it was because the new eyes were prettier and he didn't want the old ones anymore. He had been a black-haired guy for so long, so a change of style was nice.

He naively thought that this was just a trivial matter for the omnipotent Xie Fengnan.

He lived because Xie Fengnan didn't want him to die.

He never imagined that Xie Fengnan had almost risked his life to save him.

Last night, he and Chu Jiaoyang received a new terminal, and they learned a lot about the Xie family, as well as what those eyes really represented.

It represents the pride and glory of every member of the Xie family.

What merit or ability did Xie Xingmo possess to deserve Xie Fengnan personally bestowing upon him this pride and honor?
