Duan Chen nodded, not judging his right or wrong, but thinking about how to tell Mi Xue'er about this matter, and whether to tell Zhong Yu.
"If you want to help Mi Xue'er find Mi Buwei, I will fully support you. As for Zhong Yu... I advise you to tell her after you find him."
"That's my plan too."
"What, is there another mission? I advise you to bring the invincible Lord Gallo with you."
"Mission? Little Duan, bring the two of us. We masters and disciples don't just eat for free. We'll help you with your work, and you can let us stay for a longer time, how about it?"
Qi Qing crawled out of bed at noon, his hair messy like a bird's nest. He walked over while brushing his teeth.
"Looking for someone? We're best at that."
"Really? Then you come too." Duan Chen didn't care much. After all, there were more people, more strength. Qi Qing and Sheng Chen also looked like they were good at this.
Qi Qing took the photo and when he saw the person on it, his toothbrush cup fell to the ground. He didn't even care about the foam falling on him.
"Uncle, are you okay?"
"Holy shit! Isn't this... isn't this..."
"Isn't what?"
Duan Chen stared at him doubtfully.
"Isn't this my old friend?!"
"Old friend?!"
Duan Chen suddenly remembered that Qi Qing often mentioned an old friend. He said that although that old friend had passed away, he had left him clues about an altar, asking him to find helpers to destroy the Thunder Altar.
Could that old friend be Mi Buwei?!
Duan Chen felt his headache getting worse.
"In your impression, when did he pass away?"
"About... over ten years ago?"
"So long ago?" Duan Chen was stunned.
"With Zhong Yu, Mi Buwei also disappeared over ten years ago."
Mi Le roughly described Mi Buwei's demeanor and conduct. Qi Qing nodded repeatedly, indicating that it was absolutely correct, it was his old friend.
Duan Chen was bewildered.
"Mi Buwei did pass away over ten years ago, there's no doubt about that."
Wu Suowei suddenly appeared at the door, holding several breakfasts.
"This person is definitely an impostor, and we must find him."
"Are you so sure?"
"He... he died in front of me, I can't be wrong."
Qi Qing's eyes widened.
"No way, how old were you over ten years ago?"
He didn't know Wu Suowei was a god.
"In short, Mi Buwei is dead. We must find this person. I won't allow anyone to impersonate him."
Wu Suowei frowned and put a fried dough stick into his mouth.
Duan Chen fell silent.
According to Mi Buwei's biological son, Mi Le, and his friend Qi Qing's identification, this person was indeed Mi Buwei. Even if their appearances could be the same, their temperament and expressions were difficult to imitate perfectly, let alone a legendary figure like Mi Buwei.
Wu Suowei was indeed a god, and Duan Chen had always thought he was omnipotent.
But now, he had some doubts about this god.
He had to personally confirm whether Mi Buwei was still alive.
If he was real, it would be best. If he was fake... Duan Chen would not be soft-hearted.
"For this mission, Jun Ci, Qin Nanyuan, Qi Qing, and Sheng Chen, the four of you will execute it with me. As for Mi Xue'er, I will notify her later."
"I'll go too," Wu Suowei stood up.
"No."
He was stunned for a moment.
Duan Chen said directly, "You have a strong subjective bias. You cannot accompany us on this mission. If you use your authority to track us, don't blame me for turning hostile."
"But, that person is definitely fake."
"Real or fake, I have my own judgment. Don't worry." Duan Chen patted his shoulder.
Duan Chen decided not to let Wu Suowei follow after considering various factors. First, he believed that Mi Le and Qi Qing's judgment was very authoritative, and Mi Buwei might not be dead. Wu Suowei seemed very sure that the person in the photo was an impostor. Such a strong conviction could easily lead to problems.
From Wu Suowei's attitude, it was clear that he and Mi Buwei were extremely close partners before. If Duan Chen and the others really found Mi Buwei, and Wu Suowei lost his judgment, he would easily act decisively. As a god, his divine power was immense, and it was not impossible for him to directly kill Mi Buwei. Duan Chen had to avoid this situation.
He didn't want Wu Suowei to regret it, nor did he want Mi Xue'er to lose her father again.
This was absolutely not allowed.
Wu Suowei sat down and thought for a while, and seemed to have understood.
"Alright then, Duan Chen, I respect your decision, and I also believe in your judgment."
"Mmm, don't worry."
Only after Duan Chen repeatedly reassured him did he set off to find Mi Xue'er.
"Brother? And Brother Duan Chen? Why are you here?"
"Come in quickly."
"Xue'er, come out for a bit, there's a mission that requires your accompaniment." Mi Le stroked her head.
"Okay, no problem."
Mi Xue'er had always been very enthusiastic about missions.
Duan Chen felt a pang of sadness.
Over the years, she, Zhong Yu, and Mi Le had all endured too much.
"Brother Duan Chen, what kind of mission is it?"
Mi Xue'er excitedly got into the car and asked.
"Dad is still alive?"
Mi Xue'er was a little dazed. Unconsciously, the word "father" had become very unfamiliar to her. Hearing the news that Mi Jun was still alive, she didn't feel much fluctuation in her heart.
"I'm sorry, but to verify the authenticity of that person, I have to bring you along."
Duan Chen's tone was apologetic.
Mi Xue'er smiled slightly, "It's okay, Brother Duan Chen. Besides, I also want to see what my father is like. I want to ask him why he hasn't come back for so many years. I guess he might have some unspeakable difficulties."
Even though she said that, Mi Xue'er's expression was still a little melancholic.
Duan Chen sighed.
"Everyone is here, so where do we go first?"
Qi Qing happily drove the energy vehicle that Duan Chen had obtained from the Hunter Guild. He had never driven such a car before and found it very novel.
"Let's go to the address printed on the back of this photo first."
Duan Chen flipped the photo over. The words "Rui Jie Photography Studio" were printed on the bottom left of the back.
"No problem."
...
Taohua Tan.
"Do you really believe that person is Mi Buwei?"
Wu Suowei sat by the潭边, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Whether it is or not, Duan Chen said he will judge for himself."
"You still only believe yourself and not Duan Chen, right?"
"No wonder you lost to the evil god 999 times."
Chu Yue said calmly while eating an apple.
"You and I both know what's going on." Wu Suowei glanced at her.
"They all say gods have no emotions. Now it seems to be true. You would rather believe your own eyes than believe in the blood ties between Mi Xue'er and Mi Le and Mi Buwei?"
Chu Yue's tone was quite sarcastic.
