Chapter 147 Mission Progress

Song Baiyuan almost thought he had misheard.

"Who said that?"

“I’m referring to the survivor from the Chi family, Mu Yuanming,” Yan Xun replied calmly.

Song Baiyuan's first thought was—

Was the master lying to him?

The group members were chosen by the master, so why was that child from the Chi family included in the group?

Could this really be a punishment from Jia Ye?

The thought that the Chi family's misfortune occurred after he took Yan Xun to visit her made Song Baiyuan feel uneasy. He always suspected that the strange things that happened to the Chi family were because he took Yan Xun to see the so-called Fairy Bodhi, making Jia Ye feel that he had betrayed his faith, which led to the tragedy that followed.

In particular, what happened to the Chi family was similar to what Yan Xun's parents had experienced.

But many years later, Jia Ye did nothing to him or Yan Xun.

No, it's not that nothing was done.

Song Baiyuan got angry just thinking about it. On one hand, he thought Jia Ye was really disrespectful to his elders (?), and he didn't know how old he was, yet he dared to date his own nephew? ??

How can there be such a shameless belief that even tempts believers?

Yan Xun wasn't even a believer, let alone shameless.

Song Baiyuan was inwardly turbulent, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and said to Yan Xun, "I understand."

Seeing Song Baiyuan's expression, Yan Xun knew that the man was actually very unsettled. After thinking for a moment, he decided to add fuel to the fire.

He stood up, walked over to Song Baiyuan, and sat down beside him.

Song Baiyuan looked at him in confusion, not understanding why Yan Xun was so close to him today.

Yan Xun grasped Song Baiyuan's hand with one hand, "Uncle, you can tell me anything."

He figured that since Song Baiyuan valued family ties so much, if he launched a family-oriented offensive, the other party would definitely be unable to resist.

Yan Xun lowered her eyes and whispered to Song Baiyuan, "I'm all grown up now, Uncle, you don't need to hide it from me."

"There are some things I still want to know the truth about."

Song Baiyuan looked down at Yan Xun's hand holding his. In his memory, when he took Yan Xun to that village, Yan Xun's hand was still small, but now it had grown into an adult's.

He felt a mix of emotions, but in the end he could only sigh.

"Anyway, there's nothing I can't say now."

Since that shameless Jia Ye had seduced Yan Xun, Song Baiyuan felt there was no need to hide it anymore—how could such a pure and kind girl like Yan Xun possibly fall in love with an evil spirit?

It must have been a shameless person who seduced Yan Xun and deceived him with sweet words.

Song Baiyuan had already made up his mind, and then he explained the relationship between Yan Xun's parents and Jia Ye.

"So, my parents died because they betrayed Jia Ye," Yan Xun asked.

“That’s what that person said.” Song Baiyuan leaned back on the sofa.

But what else could he do but believe in the master? He was just an ordinary person. His sister and brother-in-law, as well as his nephew, had suddenly encountered such a misfortune. And just as the master had said, there were Jia Ye's keepsakes buried in his home. He could only believe in this way.

Song Baiyuan knew from beginning to end that he was sober.

The reason people believe in masters and gurus is simply because they believe these things can bring them benefits.

Yan Xun listened to these words without saying anything.

Because he discovered that after revealing so much, the system finally gave him a hint—

[Hidden Quest: Jia Ye's Gaze (2/5)]

As expected, Song Baiyuan was also related to Jia Ye.

Thanks to his explanation, the relationship between Yan Xun and Jia Ye was also clarified, and the instance then completed the remaining progress bar.

Song Baiyuan felt that his relationship with Yan Xun had thawed again, and the uncle-nephew relationship had become more harmonious.

But the thought of Yan Xun's roommate turning into the sinister Chi family prodigy from his memories gave Song Baiyuan a headache again. "Why don't you stay in the dorm for now?"

"You can move into my house."

Although the golden boy from the Chi family never spoke, Song Baiyuan remembered that the other party was always surrounded by an impression of mystery and yin energy.

Ultimately, he never thought that the fairy godmother on the other person's body was a righteous deity. She was more likely a monster incarnate from a wandering ghost. Song Baiyuan felt unsafe with Yan Xun by his side.

"Also, tell me the truth." Song Baiyuan looked at Yan Xun, "How did you know he was the golden boy of the Chi family?"

Didn't he say he had amnesia?

He remembered that he had read Mu Yuanming's information at the time. Mu Yuanming's parents were both scholars and they hated feudal superstition. Mu Yuanming, influenced by them, also abhorred these things and said that there were absolutely no ghosts or gods in the world.

In addition, the other party's information seemed to be without any problems. He had grown up abroad before the age of 15 and there was relevant information, so Song Baiyuan simply thought that the master had found a good prospect for him.

But little did he know that the master had not found himself a good prospect, but rather a living ancestor.

Song Baiyuan cursed the master in his heart again.

“He recalled some memories from his childhood,” Yan Xun said.

As for how much he actually remembered, Yan Xun felt that Mu Yuanming hadn't told the whole truth.

"How much is 'remembering'?" Song Baiyuan asked again.

Is he lying to you?

The more Song Baiyuan talked, the more he felt that Mu Yuanming had ulterior motives. "Why didn't he mention this to you before he lost his memory?"

"I won't mention that you two met when you were kids."

“Maybe he doesn’t want to reveal this part of his past,” Yan Xun said.

"He lost his memory and doesn't care about these things anymore?" Song Baiyuan didn't believe it. "Anyway, from what I see of him..."

He originally wanted to say that Mu Yuanming had no good intentions and had never liked him, but then he remembered that Mu Yuanming had actually met Yan Xun when he was a child, and that he was the golden boy of the Chi family. He felt that Mu Yuanming's "dislike" was even more malicious.

"Anyway, I have plenty of rooms."

Song Baiyuan then said, "You'll stay at my place for the next few days."

"Don't go back to the dormitory."

Yan Xun was looking for clues at Song Baiyuan's house, so he readily agreed.

"You can have Xiao Zheng or your assistant take you." Song Baiyuan still had work to do, otherwise he really wanted to take Yan Xun home and warn him to be careful of those strange people outside.

Yan Xun nodded, stood up, and asked Song Baiyuan one more question before leaving the office.

"Uncle, do you know Lou Yanchuan?"

Song Baiyuan hurriedly looked up. He hadn't expected to hear the master's name from Yan Xun. "Where did you learn this name from?"

“I just saw him in the garage.”

“When Ning Xinian and I were recording a program before, there was a staff member with this name.”

“Xiao Zheng said he suspected that this person was an illegitimate child. He Jingtang checked the surveillance footage and found that… it was haunted.” Yan Xun looked at Song Baiyuan’s expression. “I clearly remember that he was standing outside the door, but the surveillance footage only showed me, Ning Xinian, and Xiao Zheng. Lou Yanchuan was not there.”

"The production team also said they had never heard of him."
