My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Hearing her say that, Tingyun felt a little relieved.

Then she took Xing to find Ji Yuan.

However, halfway there, she sensed something was wrong.

Xing is a minor, but Ji Yuan isn't an adult either.

With a wary mind, Xing led Ji Yuan to the door of her room.

"Okay, I brought it to you. He's inside, go in and find him."

"Ah."

Xingxin nervously knocked on Ji Yuan's door.

Tingyun quietly retreated, but she didn't go far. Instead, she waited in the distance, estimating when Xing would enter the room so she could eavesdrop.

……

Ji Yuan sat at his desk, deep in thought.

The contact with Kafka just now didn't yield any useful information.

I'm still a bit clueless about how to improve my relationship with Xing.

"If that doesn't work, why don't we just cover our faces and sneak off to beat up Xing?"

Ji Yuan touched the longsword Tianqiong on his body and muttered to himself.

As he was pondering, Ji Yuan heard a knock on the door. The knock was urgent, indicating that the visitor had something to say.

Worried that something might have happened, Ji Yuan quickly went to the door and opened it. Of course, to prevent any danger, Ji Yuan also immediately activated his protective gear.

After the door opened, Xing walked into the room and then closed the door behind her.

What is she doing?

Ji Yuan was puzzled.

Just as he was wondering about this, Xing took a deep breath and asked him, "Ji Yuan, there's something I want to ask you."

"whats the matter?"

Seeing her solemn expression, Ji Yuan was also affected.

"Did you tell Kaffa that you wanted to be my father?"

Xing asked Ji Yuan.

"Huh? How did you know that?"

Ji Yuan felt a little embarrassed when Xing said what he had just made as a joke.

On the other side, Xing's body trembled upon hearing Ji Yuan's words.

There really is one?

Xing looked at Ji Yuan with a nervous expression.

"I'm warning you, I will never call you Dad. At most, I'll call you Uncle."

After thinking about Kafka, Hoshi decided to relax a little for Himemoto.

"Ji, Uncle Ji..."

Her voice was extremely affected.

At the door, Tingyun, who was eavesdropping, heard Xing say this and his expression was very strange.

No, what are you guys doing in there?

It's both Dad and Uncle.

Ji Yuan was also completely bewildered by Xing.

No, it was just a joke. Why are you taking it so seriously?

Just as he was thinking this, the system's voice appeared in his mind.

[Hello, you and the Masked Fool Hanabi have successfully fooled the greatest nameless guest and slain the Star God, Pioneer Star. The system is rewarding you with Hanabi's disguise skills.]

What the heck? Fireworks' camouflage technique.

Upon hearing about the system reward, Ji Yuan instantly understood the general outline of the matter.

Good grief, Hanabi, what are you up to now?

Ji Yuan said to Xing, "Tell me in detail what exactly happened just now."

"Kafka just found me and told me everything that happened..."

Xing noticed Ji Yuan's expression and felt a little strange, but she recounted everything that had just happened.

After hearing her words, Ji Yuan's expression instantly turned strange, as if he was suppressing a laugh.

Seeing Ji Yuan's expression, Xing complained to him, "I feel like I've been deceived."

Yes, you've been deceived!

Upon hearing Xing's words, Ji Yuan nodded emphatically.

"This is all a conspiracy by the Masked Fool."

After saying this, he immediately demonstrated his newly learned transformation technique. Before Xing, his form rapidly changed, transforming into Dan Heng's appearance.

"See, that's how it is. You've been deceived."

Ji Yuan said to Xing.

Seeing Ji Yuan make such a change, Xing's expression turned red and white in turns.

"Who is it?"

She said through gritted teeth.

This guy actually tricked me like this. He even transformed into Kafka to deceive me; he's utterly unforgivable.

"The Masked Fool, of course, is that guy Hanabi."

Ji Yuan said to Xing.

Then he said to Xing, "Come on, I'll go with you, let's go find her and settle the score."

Does this mean they're joining forces to fight a powerful enemy?

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

"it is good."

Xing nodded vigorously.

Chapter 174 Star, Do You Want to Be Strengthened? [Second Update]

Xing grabbed a baseball bat, while Ji Yuan picked up his longsword, Tianqiong. After they finished getting ready, they were about to push open the door and leave.

But as soon as they opened the door, they saw Tingyun taking two steps back, trying to escape.

"Tingyun, what's going on?"

Ji Yuan saw Tingyun appear at the door and asked curiously.

Tingyun blushed slightly, and rolled her fox-like eyes at Ji Yuan.

Don't you know why I'm here? Xing came to find you so excitedly, wanting to be alone with you, but after I went in, I heard my uncle and father's voices coming from inside.

With you doing this, how could I possibly not stay here and eavesdrop?

"Sister Tingyun was also looking for you, but I was in a hurry, so I asked her to wait at the door for a while."

Xing helped Tingyun explain at this time.

She also realized how inappropriate her behavior had been. She hadn't noticed because she was thinking about other things, and now it seemed that she had been deceived. Things were not as she thought at all, so she naturally felt sorry for Tingyun.

"Ah."

Ji Yuan knew Xing was lying, but he naturally wouldn't investigate further in this situation.

He clenched his fist and said to Xing and Tingyun, "Let's go find Huahuo and settle the score as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Xing nodded vigorously.

Seeing Xing's hateful expression, Tingyun looked at Ji Yuan curiously.

As they walked, Ji Yuan recounted the events to Ting Yun. After hearing Ji Yuan's account, Ting Yun finally understood Xing's hatred.

"Let's go, I'll go with you to take revenge."

……

Not long after the three left Cripperburg, they found the fireworks that were on their way back, intending to watch some fun.

As Hanabi was walking smugly, she felt a baseball bat pressing down on her shoulder.

Fireworks were a bit of a surprise.

She was just about to go back and see Lezi when Xing blocked her way before she could even see Lezi.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Xing, what happened to you?"

"Hanabi, what you did has been exposed. Come with me now."

Xing said fiercely.

"What did I do? Don't misunderstand me?"

Hanabi immediately spread her hands, looking completely innocent. At the same time, she looked at Himemoto and pleaded pitifully, "Please, don't bully me..."

If someone who didn't know the situation saw this pitiful little thing, they would definitely feel a lot of sympathy for him.
