hope Nian smiled slightly and waved to the bald woman who appeared in the living room.

"You're really back."

Gu Yi stared at Xinian, then glanced at the oversized round bed not far away, the bulging blankets and the messy clothes beside it, and said calmly, "Moreover, it seems that their physical condition has recovered quite well."

"It's alright, it's alright." hope Nian wasn't embarrassed at all.

So much time has passed, and so many things have happened.

The relationship between hope Nian and Gu Yi is more than just a friendship between people of different ages.

In Xinian's view.

The Ancient One was more like an elder, a grandmother who always took good care of him.

of course.

If the Ancient One knew what Xinian was thinking, I wonder what she would think. Although she is old enough to be Xinian's great-grandmother, in terms of age, the demigod Wonder Woman Diana is older than her.

Xinian had Gu Yi sit on the sofa in the living room, and since Wanda wasn't there, he personally prepared a pot of Eastern-style tea.

"I want to thank you again for your care and guidance of Wanda over the past three years."

“I didn’t take good care of her.”

Gu Yi gently shook her head and said, "You should know. That child can handle everything on her own now. Rather than saying others are taking care of her, it's more accurate to say she's taking care of others."

“That’s true.” hope Nian smiled knowingly, his face revealing a hint of pride.

Seeing Xinian's clumsy movements, Gu Yi finally couldn't bear it any longer. He rolled up the sleeves of his yellow robe slightly, took the teapot, and gently shook it before pouring it out.

She continued, "As for instruction, she learned the basic spells of Kamar-Taj three years ago, and she also learned some advanced spells by herself by looking at the spellbook."

"I have nothing left to teach her."

Gu Yi took out another teacup and poured some for Xinian, and steam rose up.

"Regardless, I still want to thank you," hope Nian said sincerely with a smile.

The Ancient One helped him so much, and has been cleaning up his messes and tidying up his problems ever since.

Upon their first meeting, he helped Xinian tame the symbiote Venom. Later, he pulled the out-of-control Trinity into the Mirror Dimension and made the Infinity Stones into his personal magical artifacts...

Among them, the spatial necklace is also the key to Xinian's resurrection!

In addition, he taught Wanda magic and gifted her a levitating cloak, a red belt, and so on.

Sometimes, even Xinian didn't know.

Why did the Ancient One, a guardian who only cared about the Earth, always silently give him so much care?

Gu Yi was the same as everyone else, except for him, who was a little different.

But hope Nian knew that Gu Yi had no ill intentions or ulterior motives towards him.

Otherwise, the Ancient One could have silently eliminated him the very first time they met.

"I have already received your gift."

Gu Yi's beautiful face was calm, full of the gentle tranquility that comes with the passage of time. She picked up her teacup and took a small sip.

"That's far from enough."

hope Nian shook his head and promised, "Master, if there's anything you need in the future, you can tell me, and I'll do my best to help you achieve it!"

He rarely makes promises to others, but the Ancient One certainly did.

just.

The boy was stunned by what the Ancient One said next—

"What if... I made you the Sorcerer Supreme?"

……

hope Nian opened his eyes wide, then scratched his head: "Master, you must be joking."

“I am just an ordinary person. According to what you said before, it would take me a hundred years to learn even a basic portal. How could I possibly be the Sorcerer Supreme, the Guardian of Earth, the Lord of Kamar-Taj, and the Ruler of the Three Temples?”

To appoint someone who knows no magic as the Sorcerer Supreme, representing the highest realm of magic on Earth, is a bit of a fantasy.

Gu Yi's expression was calm as he looked at Xinian and said, "You just need to say whether you want to take on this role. As for magic, it's a very simple matter for you to use it. Wanda..."

“Master, you know that,” hope Nian interrupted her, shrugging, “I’m really not cut out to protect the world, and besides, I also have to look after multiple dimensions and stuff…”

The Ancient One suddenly said in a serious voice, "But you should understand that if the sky falls, someone has to hold it up."

hope Nian didn't care and smiled nonchalantly: "Master, aren't you still here? Even if the sky of the whole world collapses, you, the supreme one, will still hold it up."

Gu Yi did not respond.

She glanced out the window at the city and asked, somewhat bewildered, "hope Nian, what is your goal?"

"Target?" hope Nian was taken aback.

His original goal was to get into a good university, earn money to support his aunt, and live a carefree life...

Like many ordinary people, he is simple and unpretentious.

However, after experiencing too many chaotic and extraordinary events, it seems that he has drifted further and further away from his original goal.

hope Nian frowned slightly.

Gu Yi seemed to see through his thoughts: "People have different goals at each stage of life. Do you still want to go back to school now?"

"Can you really go back to being an ordinary person now?"

After leaving these words, Gu Yi got up from the sofa and casually opened a circular portal in the living room, stepping inside.

The boy remained silent, sitting on the living room sofa.

……

Within the mirror space.

As the Ancient One stepped through the portal, she looked at the young girl in a red dress leaning quietly against the wall and sighed softly, saying, "If you don't tell him, he won't know how you feel."

……

noon.

Gwen, already dressed, sat blankly on the living room sofa, her eyes vacant and lifeless.

Holding a bottle of iced cola close to her face, the short-haired girl suddenly shuddered from her face to her body.

"Gwen, are you alright?"

Xinian sat down with an iced cola in his hand, looking at Gwen beside him with a puzzled expression.

Even the spider sense is failing... Could it be that it's gone mad?

Gwen looked at Xinian, her eyes regaining a little light, and gritted her teeth in anger: "Damn it! Why didn't you wake me up this morning!"

"I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't wake you," hope Nian said, sounding slightly innocent.

"Even if you're sound asleep, you should still wake me up."

Gwen covered her face with her hands, feeling too ashamed to face anyone.

in fact.

She had already woken up when the Ancient One arrived, but since it wasn't convenient for her to come out, she remained hidden under the covers.

Gwen said angrily, "It's all your fault, you didn't sleep so late last night."

hope Nian felt even more innocent: "Isn't it because you kept saying, 'Keep going, don't stop...'"

"Still talking!"

Steam billowed from her head, Gwen blushed, and with her arms outstretched, she pounced on Xinian and knocked him down onto the sofa.

Xinian really wanted to shout, "The mother spider is killing people!"

Just then.

A crimson figure suddenly appeared in the living room, as if to save the day.

Gwen, who was straddling Xinian in an unseemly posture, reacted quickly by rolling off, smoothing her skirt, and hurriedly explaining, "Wanda, don't misunderstand!"

"Wanda, where did you go today?"

hope Nian looked at the crimson-clad maid in front of him, and the worry in his eyes faded.

“I only went to Kamar-Taj, I’ll prepare lunch right away,” Wanda said with a respectful bow.

She paused slightly, then hesitantly added, "Young Master, could you come somewhere with me this afternoon?"

hope Nian paused slightly, then smiled and said:

"Of course, no problem!"

Chapter 333, A Chaotic Timeline, Scarlet Maid

Inside the laboratory of Future Era Company.

Strange was thrilled and kept testing his repaired semi-mechanical hands. With three times the grip strength and reaction speed, his punches were even faster and more powerful than those of an average boxer!

After a while.

Strange finally calmed down a bit and asked the camera in the corner, "How much will it cost to repair these hands?"

Strange knew without a doubt that the fee would be extremely high. But for him, it was worth it no matter the cost.

In the deserted laboratory, the pleasant voice of the artificial intelligence Alice soon rang out: "Due to the addition of a certain amount of vibranium metal as the endoskeleton scaffold, if defined according to market price, it is estimated to be worth one billion US dollars. Of course, this is just an estimate. After all, both vibranium metal and deep neural repair technology are currently in high demand but not readily available."

“One billion US dollars…” Strange took a deep breath. Even as a genius doctor, his savings and background over the years amounted to only a few hundred million.

However, money can be earned again in the future, as long as these new hands, which are far more effective than before, remain.

"Please pass on my message to your master, hope Nian. I will raise the ten billion US dollars as soon as possible to make the payment," Strange replied in a deep voice.

Unexpectedly, Alice replied, "The master has already said that since you are his friend, all medical expenses have been waived."

Strange's eyes widened in surprise.

That's a billion US dollars! To just waive it like that, that's not even considered generous.
