Then, she continued walking towards home, while confidently remarking in her mind:

"Alas, Fang Xuehan, I'm not saying anything to you, but you have good grades and a good memory, don't you? You can't even do this little thing, you're really useless!"

The good-tempered Fang Xuehan felt that Fang Xuemu was simply being unreasonable.

"You're not my older sister, I am. And who cares about this? Aren't you asking me because you don't remember clearly?"

"Shut up! Don't talk back to your sister!"

"...You are not my sister, I am."

The two quarreled all the way to the door of their home.

A familiar, tired and hoarse voice came from behind them.

"...Xuehan? Xuemu?"

That was the voice of their adoptive father.

Fang Xuemu turned around.

In the darkness, I saw a middle-aged man carrying a briefcase standing on the cobblestone road.

There were some tired lines on the middle-aged man's face. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeply engraved with the hard work day after day. Dark circles were faintly visible, and a hint of fatigue appeared in his eyes.

His suit, though well-cut, was a bit wrinkled, and his shoulders slumped slightly, as if burdened by the day's fatigue and stress. His hair was slightly gray, and the white hair at his temples reflected a faint luster in the light.

"..."

Seeing his adoptive father calling him, Fang Xuemu froze with a sense of déjà vu, not knowing what came to his mind. His scarlet eyes turned pure white, and he instantly dived back into his heart and kicked Fang Xuehan out.

"..."

No, sister, where is the aura of being an older sister that you just displayed?

Fang Xuehan, who was complaining in her heart and was actually just as scared as Fang Xuemu, waved her hand awkwardly with the same stiff expression as Fang Xuemu and responded dryly:

"...Yes, Dad, we are back."

He deliberately used words that were different from those in Yu Xiu De's dream.

"You went to look for him?"

Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan were thankful that Guan Weizhong didn't suddenly say, "So, this is your dream." He had no idea how Yu Xiude's dream had frightened his two adopted daughters. He only knew from Yu Xiude's first phone call in two years that his stepdaughter had visited his... nominally adopted son.

This adoptive father, who had no fatherly dignity or temperament, simply advised with a worried tone:

"Don't go looking for him anymore."

"You... are harassing him."

Real Dreamland: Chapter 70 Filial Piety

"Harassment?"

The girl uttered a voice of grievance, as if she was trying to confirm whether her stepfather really thought so, and as if she was questioning herself.

The cold moonlight shone on Fang Xuehan's face, and her pure white eyes flickered. In the silent night, she was like the moon in the night sky, pure and flawless.

And the next second, the white moon was dyed crimson.

"Harassment?!"

An angry voice burst out from the girl's mouth, which was more like a rhetorical question than a question.

Fang Xuemu was also confused.

But what confused her was how this middle-aged man in front of her dared to speak to her like that!

The shadows illuminated by the moonlight and street lights began to move around Fang Xuehan, making rustling sounds, as if they were alive, and Fang Xuemu was the Feiyue they supported.

Fang Xuemu, who was always open-mouthed, took advantage of Yu Xiude's absence. Fang Xuehan was also struggling with Guan Weizhong's words and had gone into a state of inactivity. She said sarcastically and mercilessly:

"Oh my, you really think of yourself as your father, Mr. Guan Weizhong."

"..."

Faced with the statement of one of his nominal stepdaughters, Guan Weizhong shook his head.

He was not his wife Fang Meifen, and knew nothing about the true structure of this family; but his interactions with Yu Xiu De also gave him a basic understanding of the person with the innate fate.

Although Guan Wei Zhong obviously could not have a heart-to-heart talk with Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan like a normal father and daughter, Yu Xiu De once told him about the sisters, allowing Guan Wei Zhong to understand the reasons for the different personalities of Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan.

[Fate] is not a gift, but a "characteristic". It affects people in all aspects and is definitely not limited to the so-called combat effectiveness and personal ability. Its influence is also reflected in the pattern of thinking.

Some are good, some are bad, and "two-faced people" are those who have both the former and the latter, with the latter being the majority.

Guan Wei Zhong always kept Yu Xiu De's teachings in mind.

"This is not an order, it's just a suggestion."

Facing his stepdaughter whose temperament had changed drastically and the shadow that was gradually rising from the ground, Guan Weizhong's expression remained unchanged, still showing a tired and exhausted look.

"I don't even listen to Lao Yu, so how can you be worthy?"

Fang Xuemu continued to speak sweetly, saying that the two years that Yu Xiude was away were enough for her to "get back on the right track."

Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan have always felt that Yu Xiude and Guan Wei Zhong are indeed somewhat similar.

The big boss in front of him started from scratch, achieved financial freedom in his early years, and his career is booming. He is still working diligently. He is somewhat similar to Yu Xiu De and also has the temperament of a social animal.

The only difference between him and Yu Xiude was that Guan Weizhong gave off a sense of exhaustion, while Yu Xiude gave off a sense of lifeless indifference. It was as if Guan Weizhong was still in his prime, striving for success, while Yu Xiude had already entered the twilight years of his life, having seen through everything.

It is obvious from the outside that Guan Wei Zhong is a middle-aged uncle, while Yu Xiu De still has the youthful look on his face.

Fang Xuemu is not the ambitious Fang Xuehan. She will not really treat Guan Wei Zhong as her elder or father just because Guan Wei Zhong married her mother and fulfilled his father's obligation and responsibility to raise her.

Those were brought by Yu Xiu De, not the dull and stupid uncle in front of him.

Fang Xuemu's impression of the word "father" has been tarnished by her biological father, not to mention that she killed her biological father with her own hands and disposed of the body... She has pure malice towards the term "father".

From the perspective of the dark side of "Two-Faced Man", Guan Wei Zhong is nothing more than Yu Xiu De's agent, or even more extremely, he is nothing more than a dog raised by Yu Xiu De that can be kicked away at any time!

Fang Xuemu didn't even listen to Yu Xiu De's words, so how dare this nominal father bark in front of her?

This is no longer just a nominal father, I must strike hard!

"Guan Weizhong, do you think that stupid woman is climbing up to your high position? Let me tell you, you are just a fish raised by an old fish..."

Before Fang Xuemu could utter any rebellious words, she covered her mouth with her left and right hands, and at the same time one of her eyes turned pure white.

Fang Xuehan stopped worrying about herself and finally came online to stop Fang Xuemu from saying hurtful words.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Looking at his stepdaughter standing in front of him, her hands and mouth moving at their own pace, and shadows rising and falling under her feet, Guan Wei Zhong was not afraid, because he had seen many more terrifying things in Yu Xiu De's dreams.

Having dreams that are as logically rigorous as reality is just one way that Yu Xiu De develops his abilities.

Dreams are a reflection of people's experiences, emotions and subconsciousness when they are awake; they are symbols of fantasies, desires and conflicts deep in their hearts.

Although the young [Nightmare] had initially figured out how to gain real knowledge from dreams in a way that defied common sense, he was still unable to do it well at that time, and it was inevitable that there would be omissions when training Guan Wei Zhong.

Fortunately, Yu Xiu De was always by Guan Wei Zhong's side when he was training him, so those dreams did not cause him any psychological trauma.

But because of this, he was able to realize the horrifying aspect of Yu Xiu De's dream.

Guan Wei Zhong was actually not a very slow person. He noticed the unnatural expressions of Fang Xuemu and Fang Xuehan when they first saw him.

If Fang Xuehan was the only one feeling uneasy, it was probably because she felt ashamed, guilty for leaving without saying goodbye and going to look for Yu Xiude without Fang Meifen and Guan Weizhong's consent.

But Fang Xuemu also behaved very unnaturally in the red-eyed state, and seemed a little afraid of himself at first. This means that after the two of them visited Yu Xiu De this time, they must have realized some kind of great horror that they had realized from the dream of [Nightmare] many years ago!

"In his dream, he met me in his dream, right?"

Guan Wei Zhong realized the reason why the two were afraid of him at first. They were afraid that they were still in Yu Xiu De's dream without knowing it.

"I know what you want to say, Fang Xuemu. You want to say that although I am his adoptive father in name, I am actually just a dog he raised."

"But so what?"

"He appeared and pulled me up when I was in the most pain, even though he could easily carve any rotten wood into fine pieces; he took the initiative to let go of my hand when I longed for love, even though he knew I would not refuse any of his requests as long as he asked."

"If I am considered his dog, then I accept it."

Guan Weizhong spoke his true feelings in an unprecedentedly serious tone.

Real Dreamland: Chapter 71 Good Child·Maturity 4K

"Fang Xuemu, you are such a child. Your mind is only thinking about yourself."

There are dark shadows and flickering fluorescent lights.

The girl's eye color was changing wildly.

At this time, Fang Xuehan was trying her best to suppress the furious Fang Xuemu. She was like a huge rock blocking the vent of a volcano, feeling the raging anger of her sister.

Is Fang Xuemu a person whose mind is always thinking about her own children?

She is.

Her stepfather, Guan Weizhong, thinks she is.

Her sister, Fang Xuehan thought she was.

Her biological mother, Fang Meifen thought she was.

Her "anchor", Yu Xiude thinks she is.

In fact, even Fang Xuemu herself knew that she was only thinking about herself.

but……

Who the hell do you think Wei Zhong is? How dare you talk to me like that?

Damn it... You are just a dog raised by Yu Xiu De!

Fang Xuemu was angry.

If anyone else dared to speak to her like that, Fang Xuemu would have torn them into pieces, slicing them into a human puzzle that even Fang Xuehan couldn't fix. But in her eyes, Guan Weizhong was just a dog raised by Yu Xiude. Even if he had been kicked aside, beating a dog still depended on the owner.

Just beat him until he is paralyzed. Fang Xuehan will definitely cure him anyway.

She thought so, but Fang Xuehan didn't give her any chance to act at all and tried her best to suppress her.

But the next second, Guan Wei Zhong changed the subject and directed his attack at Fang Xuehan.

As Yu Xiu De's...adoptive father, he felt that he had to speak fair words for Yu Xiu De.

"Sorry, Xuehan, what I'm going to say next is also for you."

"I know you care about him, but your concern is unnecessary."

The middle-aged man's words were filled with a hint of melancholy.

Guan Wei Zhong didn't know that Yu Xiu De had been a human in two lives, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. After all, nightmare dreams can explain too many things... He wouldn't be so conceited as to think that he was Yu Xiu De's elder, but he believed that the Yu Xiu De he met at the beginning was indeed still a child.

A child whose thinking is more mature and whose abilities are stronger than those of an adult.

Facing the girl whose expression had stopped changing, Guan Weizhong said slowly:

"Although you are all born with noble destinies, he is different from you."

"He's a more outstanding, more powerful, and kind kid."

"Now that you understand his power, you should know that he has many ways and means to achieve his desired goals, whether in the past, present, or future."

"But he didn't take any of the approaches that would have been more efficient and safer for him."

"He is a gentle person, but his gentleness should not be used as a reason for you to disturb him."

"I know I can't stop you, or even interfere with you. After all, you are the owners of the destiny, and I am just a loser who was lucky enough to be favored by the owner of the destiny. You have become famous A-level superheroes, but the business I managed for him has never made any significant progress since he left."

"But I still want to say this, not as your two stepfather, not as his adoptive father, but simply as myself, Guan Weizhong, a beneficiary of someone's kindness who has no way to repay it."

"Yu Xiude... He deserves to live his life the way he wants."

"Instead of having his own life disturbed by two children who haven't grown up yet."

The moonlight shone, reflecting the girl's expressionless face and her two different-colored eyes, one white and one red.

There was no light blooming around her, and the shadow under her feet had lost its vitality and was crawling on the ground. At this moment, neither Fang Xuehan nor Fang Xuemu took the next step.

They froze, their movements and their thoughts.
