Nonsense! How could my adopted son be a villain?

The boy's eyes were red, filled with an unprecedented anger and hatred.

Lan Jian frowned and asked him, "Do you want revenge?"

Yu nodded without hesitation.

"Who are you looking for?" Lan Jian asked.

"The Taotie is no pushover either. The cultivators who participated in the siege back then didn't fare well, and after so many years, most of them should be dead by now..."

Yu murmured, "There might still be some who haven't died... their descendants, their relatives and friends, there are always some who are still alive..."

The more he spoke, the redder his eyes became, as if he were possessed.

Lan Jian suddenly flicked his finger hard between his eyebrows: "Are you going to kill all those people? Let them taste the pain of losing their loved ones?"

"But if that's the case, how are you any different from those who attacked your parents?"

Yu covered his aching forehead, looking dazed.

He suddenly slumped his shoulders in dejection and asked in confusion, "Then what should I do?"

Lan Jian sighed, a rare occurrence for him, and patted his head: "These are matters for adults. I will have someone investigate what really happened back then."

"As for you... just stay the same as before. Don't think about taking revenge on your own. If you rush into revenge and something happens, it will only make the people who care about you sad."

After saying that, he looked meaningfully at Xu Lingguang.

Yu followed his gaze and saw Xu Lingguang's worried face. She lowered her head somewhat awkwardly.

He had confidently promised himself he could accept it, but after learning the truth about his parents' deaths, he was consumed by hatred and anger...

For a fleeting moment, he even entertained the extreme idea of ​​fighting to the death with the human race.

Ke Lingguang is also a human.

Not all human beings are so unable to distinguish right from wrong.

My brother is right. If he vents his hatred on unrelated people, he will be no different from them.

Realizing this, the boy's face flushed, and he whispered, "I understand, I won't do anything reckless."

Seeing his dejected look, Xu Lingguang gently patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Would you like to visit the island where your parents lived?"

Youyu was taken aback: "Of course I want to, but I don't know where it is..."

Xu Lingguang winked slyly and said, "I know someone who might know."

Yu's low spirits vanished instantly, and she looked at him with bright eyes, full of anticipation: "Really?"

Even Lan Jian looked over thoughtfully.

Xu Lingguang snorted, said "Wait," and got up to push open the door and leave.

A moment later, he walked in carrying a fluffy yellow chick, followed closely by a string of chicks.

He held the chick, which flapped its wings blankly and kicked its legs, its tone full of dissatisfaction: "Put me down right now!"

Xu Lingguang placed him on the table, flicked the little chick that was spreading its wings and stumbling to its feet, and said to Lan Jian and You Yu, "The chick is a mirage dragon. Didn't Bai Xiang ask me to send him back to the Mirage Sea? Maybe he can help."

Lan Jian understood: "You think the island where Taotie and Xiwan live in seclusion is also in the Mirage Sea?"

Xu Lingguang nodded: "I think it's very likely. Don't you think the perspective from which Bai Xiang showed us the memories was a bit strange, like someone was observing from a distance?"

"Logically speaking, she and Taotie shouldn't have any interaction. In the memories she left behind, there was no contact with Taotie. The most likely possibility is that the island where Taotie and Xiwan lived in seclusion was also in the Mirage Sea, and Bai Xiang, out of a sense of protecting his territory, may have observed them from afar, which is why he knew some things about Taotie."

Xu Lingguang's guess was very reasonable and well-founded. After listening, Lan Jian pondered for a moment and felt that it was not impossible.

He nodded: "You make a good point."

Upon hearing that his elder brother also agreed, Youyu's previously gloomy face finally showed a hint of joy: "Are we going to the Mirage Sea?"

Xu Lingguang poked the wobbly chick that was trying to jump off the table back with one finger: "After we go to Mangya and fulfill Master Liuzhu's last wish, we can go to the Mirage Sea. We can also fulfill Bai Xiang's request at the same time."

The chick, who had been poked and landed hard on its bottom on the table, widened its eyes in disbelief when it heard Xu Lingguang say he was going to send it back to the Mirage Sea. "Didn't you say you weren't going to send me away?" it asked.

He glared at Xu Lingguang with a reproachful look, pacing back and forth in anger but helpless: "I don't want to go back! You're lying!"

He looked left and right, feeling that he couldn't trust anyone, and suddenly jumped up from the table, rushing out of the study with unprecedented speed, and plunged into the small pond in the garden.

The speed was so fast that no one present could react in time.

Yu Rong's eyes widened immediately. She rushed to the pond, craning her neck to look into the water, her voice filled with astonishment: "The chick turned into a snake and jumped into the water!"

Zhaoling jumped down from his head and frantically chirped and squeaked around the pond.

Mu Yun, who followed closely behind, rolled her eyes: "You really have no knowledge, that's a dragon! Not a snake!"

After speaking, he looked at Xu Lingguang with a self-satisfied air, as if to say, "I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Xu Lingguang slowly exhaled, squatted by the pond and looked at the motionless mirage dragon at the bottom of the pond, trying to persuade him to come up by himself: "Come up first, I'm not going to send you back to the mirage sea alone."

The pond wasn't deep, and the water was fairly clear. You could vaguely see the mirage dragon's tail twitching, but it didn't seem to be coming out.

Sui Chun squatted in the pond, stretching out his paws to splash the water, eagerly volunteering: "I'll pull him up!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Feng volunteered as well: "I can help too!"

Xu Lingguang calmly suppressed all the brats: "Don't cause trouble."

Then he gave Lan Jian a wink, signaling him to keep an eye on the cubs, before squatting down by the pond and patiently reasoning with the mirage dragon.

"I promise, I'm just taking you back to see it. Don't you want to know what your parents named you? Don't you want to go back to your hometown? Maybe there are still records of you being inside the clam shell there."

The little creature at the bottom of the water was clearly persuaded. It slowly raised its head, half of it above the water, and looked at Xu Lingguang with doubt in its eyes: "Really?"

"of course it's true."

Xu Lingguang said with a serious expression, "I never lie to little brats, or you can ask Zhaoling."

The mirage dragon immediately looked at Zhao Ling.

Zhaoling jumped up and down, making a bunch of random squeaking noises.

I don't understand, but everything Brother Lingguang said is right.
