Sean found it strange.

Sun Shuo, the captain of the Shuofeng Squad, secretly ran up to him two or three times and called him "Uncle Wang".

Did they mistake him for someone else?

Sun Shuo knew.

Cheng Jiyuan's childhood friend, the two have always had a good relationship.

If you really want to count, he could be considered half an elder of his.

But who is this Uncle Wang?

Why did you mistake yourself for him?

When the first time he called out, Sean thought he had misheard, or that the other person had made a slip of the tongue.

The second time, he confirmed it: Sun Shuo was indeed calling him Uncle Wang.

Many thoughts flashed through Sean's mind in an instant, but he ultimately decided to simply pretend he hadn't heard anything.

Neither admitting nor denying.

This is the safest way to handle it.

Anyway, once he clears this monster's lair, he'll part ways with this group.

Who is this Uncle Wang, and what is his relationship with him?

........................

Sun Shuo's expression was complicated.

Didn't they admit it?

But he did not deny it.

What exactly does this Senior Jing mean?

Is he really that Uncle Wang?

Is Uncle Wang Cheng Jiyuan's biological father?

He wanted to pull Cheng Jiyuan aside and ask him for clarification several times, but he held back.

If he asks that question, our brotherhood will probably be over for life.

Even if it were true, how could Cheng Jiyuan possibly admit it?

However, he quickly came to his senses.

"Not denying it? Isn't that admitting it?"

If he had truly mistaken the person for someone else, how could Senior Mirror possibly let it go so easily?

But the other party didn't.

They simply remained silent and ignored it.

Under Sun Shuo's preconceived interpretation at this moment, this behavior is full of implicit consent.

It's even a tacit understanding that "it's inconvenient to say it outright, but you and I both know it."

"So...it really is my uncle?"

Sun Shuo suddenly became excited.

"We're going to be rich! Old Liu is really going to take off this time! No, our entire Shuofeng Squad is going to benefit from this!"

Sun Shuo felt his breathing become rapid, and his gaze towards Senior "Mirror's" back was no longer just one of awe, but also one of closeness and pride.

He even began to imagine the dramatic events surrounding the disappearance of this "Uncle Wang" years ago.

"Having encountered a tremendous upheaval and gained an extraordinary opportunity, he has now reached the pinnacle of his power and quietly returned to plot his next move?"

So the goal of this plan is actually...

"My Uncle Cheng?"

The thought flashed through Sun Shuo's mind like lightning, startling him and instantly causing a cold sweat to break out on his back!

He subconsciously looked at Cheng Jiyuan, a feeling of pity rising in his heart.

One biological father, one adoptive father.

Cheng Laoliu is caught in the middle; how will he handle himself when the truth comes out?

"This is damn...this is really a headache."

Sun Shuo, who thought he had seen through everything, sighed inwardly.

The initial excitement of "discovering the secret" was quickly replaced by a feeling of worry for his brother.

The look in his eyes as he looked at Cheng Jiyuan was a mixture of too many complex and indescribable things.

"Cheng Laoliu... no, Wang Laoliu, you're really having a tough time!"

………………

"That Sun Laosan is utterly baffling!"

Watching Sun Shuo's retreating figure, Cheng Jiyuan couldn't help but complain.

Just now, Sun Shuo sneaked up to him like a thief and asked if he still remembered Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang!

How could he not remember?

Cheng Jiyuan remembered that Uncle Wang had always been very kind to him when he was a child, and sometimes he even felt that Uncle Wang was better to him than his father.

Uncle Wang and his parents were once teammates on the same team.

The Beastmaster Hero is quite strong.

Long ago, Uncle Wang and his father both pursued his mother, but in the end, it was his father who got his wish.

After his parents got married, Uncle Wang became their neighbor.

When he was a child, his parents would fight, and he would always like to run to Uncle Wang's house for refuge.

But... for some reason, the more he liked to go to Uncle Wang's house, the more intense and frequent his parents' "fights" seemed to become.

The atmosphere at home became increasingly strange.

"Some people joked that Uncle Wang and I are actually father and son..."

As Cheng Jiyuan recalled this, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

But that was just a joke.

It's just a bunch of people who enjoy watching the drama gossip.

He did a paternity test with his father back then, and the results were written in black and white, showing a 98% similarity!

Although there was a tiny, minor difference, exceeding the theoretical optimal value, the doctor provided a very professional explanation—

That's because his father had been an alcoholic for many years, which caused some mutations in his body's genes, resulting in extremely small deviations when comparing gene sequences.

"They are 100% father and son, we can guarantee that."

The doctor patted his chest and said it with absolute certainty.

If the doctor said so, how could it be faked?

"Why did Sun Laosan suddenly mention Uncle Wang? And with that expression..."

Cheng Jiyuan frowned, feeling that Sun Shuo was acting unusually strange today.

He kept winking and glancing at Senior Jing, not afraid of angering him.

Cheng Jiyuan was worried for Sun Shuo.

Although that senior "Mirror" has been acting "kindly" so far, the temper of a strong person is unpredictable.

Sun Shuo's furtive and shifty-eyed behavior could be interpreted as provocation by his seniors, which would be no laughing matter.

"He doesn't actually think Senior Mirror is Uncle Wang, does he?"

The moment this conjecture surfaced, Cheng Jiyuan himself dismissed it with a laugh.

How is that possible?

Uncle Wang died in battle during an operation in a wilderness area decades ago, and many people witnessed it.

Including his parents.

They all personally confirmed that although Uncle Wang's body was mutilated, its distinctive features made it impossible for him to have survived.

Moreover, even if we take a step back and assume that Uncle Wang miraculously survived back then...

At that time, Uncle Wang's strength was only C-rank hero, not even as good as his father.

How could he suddenly transform into "Senior Mirror," a powerful figure who can summon a legion of mechanical blades with a wave of his hand, easily crush hundreds of enhanced silver warriors, and whose strength is unfathomable?

"Sun Shuo is just delusional. Does he think he's writing a melodramatic novel?"

Cheng Jiyuan ultimately drew a conclusion about Sun Shuo's unusual behavior.

They're just too bored.

"Looks like I need to find some time to have a good talk with this guy, so he doesn't go crazy. If he says or does something wrong in front of Senior Jing, that would be a big problem."

Cheng Jiyuan thought to himself.

As for the identity of Senior "Mirror"?

That's not something they should be speculating about.

If the elders are willing to save them and give them benefits, they should be grateful and obedient.

Thinking about so many unnecessary things is just making yourself uncomfortable.

Cheng Jiyuan composed himself and stopped paying attention to these trivial matters.

He refocused on honing the spiritual power within him that had surged due to his successive "taming" of powerful beasts.

In any case, this opportunity is once in a lifetime and must be seized firmly. Improving oneself is the key.

We'll talk about the rest once we get out.

Cheng Jiyuan could sense that he was just one step away from advancing to the B-level Warrior rank.
