The stolen magic is a bit magical

"Not necessarily!" Lin Xiaosu said.

“Junior brother, you are still young… What I mean is, you are relatively young, you value your family a lot, and you think that everyone in the world should be like you. In fact, there are all kinds of people in the world, and people's hearts are different depending on their environment.”

Lin Xiaosu said, "Just as you said, there are all sorts of people in the world. Some are indeed cold-blooded, while others still retain their humanity... Some time ago, I saw a case that Ruolan and her team handled with the most pride and joy in the past year... It was about a big boss who was abducted as a child. For over forty years, he did odd jobs, slept under bridges, and experienced being swindled by his partner. Later, he turned adversity into success and became a billionaire. After becoming a big boss, he enjoyed the finest food, experienced the most beautiful women, and saw the boundless glory above him. But deep in his heart, there was always a picture hidden: the crooked locust tree at the entrance of his village. He was only a little over a year old when he was abducted. He didn't remember where his hometown was, he didn't remember his mother's face, but he remembered that tree. So, he offered a large sum of money to the Fengcheng Detective Agency to help him find his home."

Lan Yao's heartstrings seemed to be touched as well: "And then?"

"Found it!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Ruolan and the others searched for three months, visited more than a thousand villages, and took thousands of photos. They finally found the boss's hometown. The boss went home, but his parents were no longer alive. He knelt in front of his parents' graves and cried like a child. They also increased the promised detective fee tenfold."

Lan Yao said, "I've actually seen many cases like the one you cited. It's almost human nature to miss one's homeland in old age. Even the most corrupt officials, who have seen all the worldly pleasures, might still have the deepest memory of their mother mending their tattered clothes under the oil lamp when they step into the detention center... Are you trying to tell me that no matter how vicious a person is, there's always a pure place in their heart, right?"

"While it's not absolute, it's a possibility!"

Lan Yao said, "However, your theory does not apply to these Nirvana cultivators. If they were such people, they would have contacted their families long ago. In fact, according to the investigation by our people, they have never returned to their hometowns or looked for their relatives."

"There's a possibility! A very high possibility!" Lin Xiaosu said, "They don't know where they came from!"

"Don't know? That's impossible!" Lan Yao said, "Currently, we have information on three Nirvana cultivators: Ice Blade, who was abducted at the age of six; Lone Serpent, who was abducted at the age of nine; and Light Smoke, who was abducted at the age of ten. At that age, they can remember things, and they can even remember the exact place names and all the information about their parents and relatives."

“What if their consciousness is erased?” Lin Xiaosu asked.

"Consciousness erasure?" Lan Yao's heart skipped a beat. Amnesia? Artificially induced amnesia using some kind of technology?

"Among the sub-divine arts, there is a technique called 'mind-erasing technique,' which is used to erase memories. It is foolproof and very easy to operate."

Blue Demon's heart pounded wildly: "Are you still sure this Lord possesses high-level demigod magic?"

"Confirmed! With Nichiren in hand, even if he's not a master, he'll become one!"

“…Tell me all your thoughts!” Lan Yao took a deep breath.

"Have the old man, in the name of Qianlong, announce the origins of these three people!" Lin Xiaosu said.

The information released by Qianlong earlier was just a general list of Hydra members and did not involve these three.

Now, Lin Xiaosu has asked Qianlong to release a special feature on the origins of these three people.

Lan Yao slowly raised her head: "Of the three people, as long as one of them still has a sense of belonging or kinship, we can follow the clues and find the source, right?"

“That’s right! It doesn’t need everyone, just one person! Doesn’t that increase the probability even more?” Lin Xiaosu smiled.

Lan Yao licked her full, red lips and murmured, "Why is it that even though there's no hope, you've managed to make me feel hopeful again with just a few words of coaxing and encouragement?"

"Haha!" Lin Xiaosu laughed. "The Red Flag has arrived, and I should go to Wushen Mountain for a visit. Senior Sister, wait for me in Taichong for a few days. If this 'family ties' strategy doesn't work, I have another trick up my sleeve."

The sound faded, and the figure vanished.

Lan Yao watched his departing figure, her lips slowly tightening.

You little rascal, I don't believe you went to Wushen Mountain to do something serious with that female teacher. Even if you did, how many days would it take?
You went to "stamp mushrooms" with Yixiang.

You even made me wait for you in Taichung!
You're having so much fun in the Miao village that you're practically dripping with juice, while I'm standing on tiptoe waiting in Taichong. What am I compared to that?

The flying cars landed; there were three in total.

An old man got off the flying car.

Although this old man looked quite old, his whole body was explosive. This person was none other than the Red Flag Chief, a super big shot in the Hidden Dragon faction whose status was second only to the Dragon Head.

He approached step by step, the wind on the mountain seeming somewhat oppressive. When he arrived at the riddled corpse on the ground, his face was ashen: "Investigate!"

As soon as one word was uttered, another officer stepped forward to perform gene matching.

"Report! It's confirmed to be Thunder!"

"Comparison of the Xipi family's genetic chain!"

The second order was given, and everyone tensed up, including Blue Demon.

Today's events are all just speculation. Although Jing Lei did not deny Lin Xiaosu's speculation, Lan Yao did not hear him directly confirm it either.

The test results would take five minutes, and those five minutes were incredibly agonizing for everyone.

Even the Dragon Head, far away at the Qianlong headquarters, stood in front of his desk, waiting quietly.

The green lights on the instrument lit up, one, two, three...

A soft beep!
The leader of the Red Flag was greatly shaken.

Long Shou stumbled and managed to steady himself by supporting himself on the desk.

Everyone's heart was in turmoil.

it's confirmed!
Jing Lei is not actually Jing Lei. In addition to Jing Lei's own bloodline genes, he also has the genetic chain of the Xipi family!
The incredible event reported by Lan Yao has now come to pass completely.

Jing Lei, who had established a formidable reputation at the Qianlong headquarters and practically defined this generation of Qianlong as the number one king of the Thunder Age, was actually killed thirteen years ago.

On that day, it wasn't that Jing Lei killed the White Bone Heavenly King and achieved his great feat, but rather that the White Bone Heavenly King killed Jing Lei, fused with Jing Lei's genes with his unique bloodline, changed his appearance and transformed into Jing Lei, infiltrated the Qianlong headquarters, and became the number one king.

How breathtaking! How terrifying it is to think about!
If it weren't for Lin Xiaosu, what kind of storm would he have stirred up in Qianlong?
The Red Banner Chief slowly raised his gaze: "And him?"

The "he" he was referring to was, of course, Lin Xiaosu.

"He's starting a big operation!" Blue Demon took a deep breath. "I'll go help him!"

"If you see him, please tell him for me... I am ashamed, and I also want to say thank you on behalf of the Dragon Head!" The flag leader's voice was desolate.

Lan Yao nodded slightly, her figure transforming into a streak of blue lightning as she entered her flying car, which soared into the sky and headed straight for Taichong.

The Red Flag bears the responsibility of overseeing the Heavenly King, and this flag lord has long neglected to supervise such an important first Heavenly King. Strictly speaking, he has committed a serious dereliction of duty. The old man is very frank, feels ashamed, and will accept punishment himself.

Lan Yao wasn't concerned about what kind of turmoil might arise within Qianlong; she was only concerned with whether Lin Xiaosu's newly deployed strategy would be effective...

Lin Xiaosu was relaxed and leisurely, taking a minibus, which is not commonly seen in ordinary cities, traveling through several cities from west to south, and entering Taichong.

The minibus swayed and moved very slowly. He took a nap on the bus and woke up to find that they had arrived in Taichong.

After leaving the station, I hailed a taxi and then embarked on a familiar uphill journey.

This time of year seems to be the most beautiful time to visit Wushen Mountain.

The autumn air was crisp and clear, and the fog that lingered on the mountaintop year-round had dissipated.

The mountains are covered with red leaves, truly a scene of vibrant autumn colors as described by poets.

We arrived at Wushenshan Primary School at noon.

On the rooftop of the small hotel, Hu Die sat lazily on the swing set, basking in the warm autumn sun and looking down at the playground.

On the playground, the children were still playing and laughing, with the little one running around especially happily.

That's the little moon.

Little Moon is very lively, even more so than children whose parents are still alive. Why? Because she is proud.

Why be proud?
Because her mother is a teacher!

She told other children more than once that Teacher Hu was her mother, and Hu Die could swear that she was not the one who taught her.

Hu Die also knew why Xiao Yue Liang was so enthusiastic about positioning herself as a mother. Inspired by watching TV, there was a movie where a mother told her child: "In the whole world, only your mother will never leave your baby."

Little Moon remembered that line.

She whispered it in Hu Die's ear a few times, then looked at her with bright eyes and timidly asked, "Teacher, can I call you Mom?"

Hu Die hesitated for a long time, while Xiao Yue Liang, during that time, clutched the hem of her clothes, feeling both nervous and expectant.

That evening, she pulled Little Moon into her arms and told her: You can call me Mom!
With that passionate cry of "Mommy," Little Moon shed tears of happiness in her arms, and Butterfly, holding her and gazing at the sky, also shed tears.

From then on, she had a different feeling when she looked at the little moon.

Little Moon is getting happier and happier at this elementary school...

Hu Die gazed at the little moon running across the playground, her thoughts drifting far, far away…

It was an autumn day like this, and it was a campus just like this...

A little boy was running on the playground. She stood at the school gate and called to him, but he didn't hear her.

Little brother, where are you?
Are you still alive?
Do you know that I haven't visited my mother's grave for five years? Because I'm afraid she'll ask me, "You promised to find your brother, have you found him?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Long time no see!"

Hu Die suddenly turned around!

Behind her, on the landing at the top of the stairs, a handsome young man was smiling at her.

It's him!

Lin Xiaosu!
Right there on that day, in front of this swing set, right in front of this stone tea table, he stripped away all her pretenses. He made her feel like the end of the world had come, but then he left after saying a few words.

Her doom did not come.

Little Moon's dream was not shattered.

And today, he has come.

"It's been over a year!" Hu Die sighed softly. "I'm sorry I haven't been able to contact you."

“I underestimated my opponent back then. He must have already realized that I was trying to win you over, so he didn’t contact you.” Lin Xiaosu sat down at the coffee table.

“The situation has changed drastically now. Am I no longer of any use as a pawn?” Hu Die sat down opposite him and poured him a cup of tea.

These words are spoken lightly, and most people wouldn't understand them.

But Lin Xiaosu certainly understood. (End of Chapter)
