Inside the divine hall.
"Yo, a rare visitor. Didn't you go help that kid Duan Chen?"
The silhouette monster spoke hatefully. He looked at two black chess pieces on the board, one with crow wings on top, and the other shaped like a puppet.
These two pieces already belonged to Wu Suowei.
Wu Suowei did not answer him, nor did he retort. This made the silhouette monster feel a little strange.
"I didn't expect you to make such a move?"
"Huh?"
The silhouette monster let out a puzzled syllable.
"What are you talking about?"
He clearly remembered he hadn't done anything. If there were any problems with his subordinates, he would know. Of course, apart from people like Zhao Nan.
He also believed that there would not be a second Zhao Nan among his subordinates.
Wu Suowei's face sank slightly: "When did you make your move, and who exactly is that person?"
What was all this about?
The silhouette monster was extremely confused, but he rarely saw Wu Suowei at a disadvantage, so he pretended to sneer: "Why should I tell you? Shouldn't you explore these things yourself?"
As he said this, he felt it was inexplicable.
They were not on the same wavelength at all!
Wu Suowei stared at him coldly, "I don't care what your plan is. Let me tell you, don't think about challenging my bottom line with that person. You can't touch him!"
This damn...
The silhouette monster became more and more bewildered the more he listened, but he was also angered by Wu Suowei's tone. He retorted unyieldingly: "What I want to do is none of your business!"
Wu Suowei did not refute this, turned around, and left the divine hall, leaving only his back.
The silhouette monster was left alone in the wind, still not understanding the situation.
Who was who?
He quickly brought up the light screen and saw Duan Chen's experience.
"I, I'll go to hell!"
"Wu Suowei, you damn fool! Are you an idiot—!"
In the divine hall, his angry shouts echoed for a long time.
...
Duan Chen sat on the sofa, hesitating with the photo.
Should he show it to Zhong Yu or not?
If not, he couldn't verify its authenticity. If he did, he felt it would cause secondary trauma to that strong woman, and he couldn't bear it.
"Captain, looking at this photo won't solve anything. Maybe you should ask Mi Xue'er?"
Qin Nanyuan said helplessly.
"No, Mi Xue'er has probably never even met Mi Jun. However... your words reminded me."
Duan Chen's eyes lit up.
He thought of someone.
"Why did you call me out?"
Mi Le leaned against the car reluctantly. He was still dressed in his usual attire, a long skirt and sky-high heels, looking anything but like a boy.
"Come in."
Duan Chen directly pulled him into the house.
"Hey! What are you doing? I'm warning you, don't think about doing anything to me in broad daylight... Ahhhhh!"
In the end, he even screamed.
Duan Chen: ...
"You misunderstood."
He let Mi Le sit on the sofa and adjust his breathing first.
"No, what exactly are you up to?"
Jun Ci and others were stunned when they saw Mi Le, at a loss.
Duan Chen took out a photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Mi Le. He glanced at it casually at first, but when he saw the person in the photo, his eyes widened, and he took the photo to examine it closely.
"This is... Mi Buwei?!"
His voice became much higher.
"Are you sure?"
"Can I mistake my own father?!"
"What if they just look alike?"
Mi Le rolled his eyes.
"No, with such an arrogant expression, it's definitely my proud father."
Duan Chen suddenly remembered that Zhong Yu had told him that when Mi Buwei disappeared, he only took his son, Mi Le, and not Mi Xue'er.
Mi Le shook his head.
"It's true that Mi Buwei took me away, but he didn't raise me. Instead, he sent me to an orphanage. Isn't it absurd? Why didn't he leave me with my mother? He had to separate me from Mi Xue'er and throw me into an orphanage..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Duan Chen couldn't believe it.
"Didn't you kidnap Mi Xue'er because of his 'Bu Wei Heart Sword Technique'? If what you said is true, you couldn't have known that Mi Jun had such a powerful sword technique! And... how did you get to the Apostles' side?"
More and more questions arose.
Mi Le sighed and explained, "Because Mi Buwei left not only that pocket watch for Mi Xue'er, but also one for me."
Saying that, he took out an old pocket watch and gently opened it.
"I have the last five forms of the Bu Wei Heart Sword Technique stored here, although I've already given them to my sister."
"Actually, when I first learned that this pocket watch stored the sword technique, I wanted to practice it too. But I overestimated myself. I had no talent in this area at all, so I wanted to get the first five forms and try practicing again. At that time, I was extremely jealous of Mi Xue'er. I was jealous that Mi Buwei settled her in a home with ample food and clothing, yet abandoned me in a cold orphanage..."
Duan Chen nodded. Anyone in such a situation would likely harbor resentment.
"Later, that Apostle No. 03 found me. He didn't know I was Mi Buwei's son, nor did he know the relationship between Mi Xue'er and me. He just thought I was suitable to be a subordinate of the Evil God, so he promised that he could help me get what I wanted. After I got what I wanted, I had to be loyal to Lord Evil God and could not have any other thoughts."
Hearing this, Jun Ci couldn't help but interrupt.
"Meaning, that Apostle knew nothing?"
"He knew shit," Mi Le flicked his long hair.
"What happened next?"
"You should know what happened later. Oh right, after you went to the capital, I met Mi Xue'er again. This girl, I don't know if she's smart or foolish, actually gave me her pocket watch."
Mi Le shook his head helplessly.
"I took her pocket watch and started practicing the Bu Wei Heart Sword Technique from scratch. But I discovered that I had absolutely no talent. I couldn't even get the basics. So I gave up and let go. Screw the Evil God, screw the sword technique, I don't want anything anymore. I returned everything to Mi Xue'er and formed a contract with her. She promised me that after she learned the Bu Wei Heart Sword Technique, she would definitely use it to protect me and Mom. It seems she didn't break her promise."
"Shameless, letting a girl protect you."
Ni Ya came downstairs at some point, and Garlotte said sarcastically.
"What do you, a little Apostle, know? Although I have the ability, I'm not a combat type. Besides, who knows if that Apostle No. 03 will come to retaliate against me? Is there anything wrong with me protecting myself?"
