Mirror World

After the three of them reminisced for a long time, Li Yanxiu finally remembered Tang Huan and Tang Qingwen. After he realized what was going on, he introduced Tang Huan and Tang Qingwen to him.

Li Yanxiu stretched out his sleeves to wipe away his tears.

"By the way, Brother Jie and Sister Fuye, let me introduce you to my two junior brothers."

……

……

The five people were chatting about the past in a restaurant, especially Fuye, who kept talking about Li Yanxiu's childhood.

Fuye: "This little crybaby was carried away by a wild eagle monster when he was three years old. No one knows how many thousands of miles it was taken away. His parents searched for him for eight years before they found Xiao Li." Fuye said with a helpless smile, as if he was reminiscing about the past but couldn't bear to let go.

"When I first rescued the little crybaby, he was still very small, after all, he was only three years old... He kept crying to go home and ask for his mother, which kept me awake for several days..." Fuye's voice became smaller and smaller as if he was about to cry out at the next moment, and some red bloodshot could be vaguely seen in his eyes.

Jie: "Yeah... the child who has been with us for eight years has left us all of a sudden... I really can't bear to let him go..." Jie smiled helplessly and covered one eye with one hand as if to hide the fact that his eyes were red.

After wiping away a few tears from the corners of his eyes, Jie quickly changed the subject.

Jie: "By the way! My two little crybaby brothers, have they bullied you recently? If so, as the eldest brother, I will discipline them... hehe..." Jie's ability to change the subject was a bit forced.

Tang Huan shook his head. "No, Senior Brother is very kind to us! He would never do that."

"Brother Jie! I was raised and taught by you, so my moral character is definitely not bad."

Fuye smiled with relief, "That's good, the little crybaby is really a good child."

Tang Huan's inner thoughts: (ー_ー)!! "These two are so caring towards me that they are like my biological parents. Why do I keep calling them big brother and big sister? It would be fine if they could just call them foster parents."

"By the way, Brother Jie and Sister Fuye, are the puppets you are carrying going to take on commissioned missions?" Li Yanxiu asked.

Jie and Fuye looked at the mummies and cow skulls at their feet.

Jie: "Yes, recently the Contract Palace issued a Level 7 wanted order. A month ago, a Grandmaster-level Level 4 human [Fallen Sex Master] massacred the villagers of a village. The wanted order was not issued until a month after the incident. I don't quite understand why?"

[Fallen Sex Master] is a murderer who has fallen into evil and is a criminal that is harmful to human society.

"A master-level magic killer would actually kill ordinary people! Such a thing actually exists in Qijing Country!" Li Yanxiu's eyes were filled with shock.

Fuye: "Yeah, I don't understand why. In the Kingdom of Qijing, killing magicians and killing ordinary people is equivalent to committing treason. What exactly made him do this?"

Li Yanxiu: "Could it be... an undercover agent sent by other countries?"

Jie shook his head and denied it. "We thought about it in that direction at first, but after investigation, we found that Yan Yue was a native of Qijing. I met him once when I was a child. The people of the "Zhongmu Yucheng" he managed all gave him good comments, but because of this, it was difficult for us to find out what his motive was for committing the crime."

"Wait..." Li Yanxiu looked a little worried.

"That's a fourth-level Grandmaster-level prisoner! Who are the people who accepted this commission? Brother Jie."

Fuye smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, Xiao Li. Those who dare to accept this commission are all tough guys. There is a master, six elites, and twelve spiritual warriors. These people are all veterans in teamwork. Even if Yan Yue is a master, he will not have any chance of winning."

Li Yanxiu finally relaxed in his heart, but he looked at Tang Huan and Tang Qingwen who were standing beside him and saw that they were very quiet.

"Junior brother...what's wrong with you? Why do you look so scared?"

"Aha!"

Tang Huan was startled by Li Yanxiu's sudden question, and his face was full of nervousness that he could not hide.

Tang Qingwen silently lowered his head and looked at the table without saying a word.

"Nothing, nothing..." Tang Huan

"Uh... By the way, Uncle Jie, do you have a wanted poster portrait of Yan Yue?"

Jie was a little confused when he saw Tang Huan was at a loss, but he didn't ask any more questions and casually took out the wanted warrant from his pocket.

"Um... yes, this is it."

Tang Huan took the wanted warrant. When he saw the face drawn on it, his eyes widened with anger and he clenched the warrant with his fists so tightly that it was almost broken.

"elder brother."

Tang Qingwen reached out and touched Tang Huan's shoulder, and Tang Huan woke up from his anger. When he looked up, Li Yanxiu, Jie, and Fuye all looked at Tang Huan with strange eyes.

"Master brother...what's wrong? You look weird today."

Fuye: "Little brother Tang Huan, do you know the person on this wanted poster?"

"I don't know him. I don't know him at all." Tang Huan immediately shook his head to distance himself from the matter.

"By the way! We still have to advance to the next level in martial arts today, so let's stop here for today. Excuse me." Tang Qingwen said unexpectedly calmly.

"Yes! That's right!... It's nice to meet you two today. We'll be leaving first."

After Tang Huan returned the wanted order to Jie, he walked out of the hotel with Tang Qingwen. After leaving the hotel, Tang Qingwen could no longer hold back his inner anger, and the expression on his face became ferocious.

The three people in the hotel were still looking at Tang Huan and Tang Qingwen in confusion as they left.

……

……

After a long time, when it was dark, Li Yanxiu, Jie and Fuye finally left the hotel.

Jie: "Little crybaby, we should go meet up with our teammates. It's really wonderful to meet you today."

Fuye: "That's it, little crybaby, you should go home."

The two men pretended to be calm, but in their hearts they both hoped to see this child, Li Yanxiu, more.

"Brother Jie, Sister Fuye, can I walk you a little further? My home is right here, not too far away."

Li Yanxiu seemed reluctant to leave, and his voice was low, with a hint of pleading in it.

Hearing this, Kaiwa and Fukuno looked at each other, their eyes shining and they spoke in unison.

Jie: “Yeah, sure.”

Fuye: “Yeah, sure.”

The three of them walked in the sea of ​​people. The streets were filled with fireworks, which fully revealed a kind of beautiful happiness in a prosperous age.

But the three of them were busy reminiscing about the past, and were not attracted by the mundane world at all, as if all the lights and wine were not as good as the brief companionship at this moment.

"Brother Jie...Sister Fuye, where did you go? Why was there only an old, dilapidated, dusty house left when I returned? Where did you go? Don't you want to see me again?" Li Yanxiu said dully.

Kai and Fukuno were silent for a moment before speaking.

Fukuno: "Sorry, little crybaby, you have a father and a mother, and we... won't interfere." Fukuno was trying hard to hide the idea of ​​wanting to become someone's mother.

"What do you mean, Sister Fuye?" Li Yanxiu asked angrily.

Jie: "Little crybaby...we..."

Before Jie finished speaking, Li Yanxiu started to interrupt.

"Okay! I have always known! Why has Sister Fuye never gotten pregnant after living together for eight years? It's because Sister Fuye was injured in the stomach by a monster when she was young, so she couldn't get pregnant. Until now, another eight years have passed, and you still haven't gotten pregnant..." As he spoke, Li Yanxiu's eyes turned red.

"Have you raised me since I was three years old, and never treated me as your own child? In those eight years, I have always wanted to call you dad!...Mom! Ah!!" Li Yanxiu lowered his head and dared not look directly into Jie and Fuye's eyes, because his hanging hair could block Li Yanxiu's tears for a moment.

Before Fuye covered her mouth with her little hands, tears glistened in her eyes. She no longer had to conceal her voice, and her crying of emotion was finally released.

Two lines of tears that had been hidden for many years ran down Jie's face. Until today, Jie could finally hear the word "Dad" that he had always dreamed of.

Jie and Fuye both opened their arms and hugged Li Yanxiu.

Fuye: "I'm sorry, little crybaby. I don't want to abandon you after returning you to your parents. It's just that I can't be so selfish. I can't take away someone else's child so easily. I can't take up the position of someone else's parents so selfishly. I'm sorry!" Fuye's unstoppable tears seemed to be telling about what she wanted to do but didn't dare to do for many years.

Jie: "If I could go back to the past, I really! Hope that we hadn't accepted that commission that day. In this way... we could have avoided you and your parents from meeting each other, and you could have always been our child." Jie burst into tears and gritted his teeth to stop the incoherent voice.
