Chapter 1250: Cousin, You Have to Stand Up for Me!

Cousin, You Have to Stand Up for Me!

"It truly is... enemies on a narrow road." Pu Shu sneered,

"If it were in the past, I'm afraid I would stay as far away from him as possible. But now, with Sixth Uncle backing us, our status in the Pu Family is no longer what it used to be... Now that he has delivered himself to our door, I must absolutely avenge this grudge."

The servant hesitated before speaking, "But Han Meng is currently an honored guest of the Pu Family... Will Sixth Uncle help us?"

"This is what he owes my father! What he owes everyone in our bloodline! If he doesn't help, I'll expose all those things he did back then!"

A sharp light flickered in Pu Shu's eyes.

As if thinking of something, he said, "By the way... isn't Cousin coming back soon?"

"Young Master Jianyue is on today's train. Calculating the time, he should be arriving soon..."

"Get my clothes."

"Naturally, I'm going to personally welcome Cousin." The corners of Pu Shu's mouth curled up slightly. "Cousin has doted on me since we were young, and Sixth Uncle is tied to the same boat as us. Those two, father and son, are our most important helpers."

"Understood, I'll go prepare the car for you right away!"

...

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

A roaring whistle sounded at the edge of the Domain. The train covered in curse runes passed through the open steel gates, slowly driving along the tracks towards the central station.

In the carriage's restroom, a youth wearing a gray vest turned on the faucet and calmly washed his rimless glasses amidst the splashing water... After making sure the lenses were spotless, he dried them and put them back on the bridge of his nose.

He carefully examined himself in the mirror, meticulously tidied his attire, and then took a deep breath, a smile curling up at the corners of his mouth.

This training excursion had gone quite smoothly. Although he had used some underhanded methods, if nothing unexpected happened, upon returning to the Pu Family, he would gain the approval of his elders and be handed some of the family's assets to manage.

He had waited for this day for too long, so his image when meeting his elders absolutely had to be steady, giving off the feeling that he was already capable of taking charge independently... Like this now, it was very good.

Knock, knock, knock—

Just as the youth was about to push the door and leave, a series of knocks came from outside.

The restrooms in the carriage were very small and could only accommodate one person. The sign outside clearly said "Occupied," so why was there still someone tactlessly knocking on the door?

The youth frowned. Just as he planned to open the door and go out directly, an invisible python suddenly drilled in through the door crack and ruthlessly bit his head!

The youth suddenly froze in place.

Click.

The next moment, the locked restroom door was actually opened directly from the outside.

A figure wearing a brown windbreaker calmly walked into the narrow restroom and casually locked the door again behind him. He took his hand out of his pocket, and a complexly designed revolver had already appeared in his hand...

Having had a chunk of his memories bitten off, the youth's mind was blank. He looked at the stranger in front of him in bewilderment.

"Who are you? Where is this..."

"Are you Pu Jianyue?"

"...Yes."

"Very good."

Chen Ling extracted a bullet from between his own brows and shoved it straight into the revolver's cylinder. With a sharp flick, the cylinder spun with a clacking sound. He slowly aimed the muzzle at the center of the youth's brows...

"From now on, you are the Six of Hearts."

Bang—!

The bullet containing a portion of Chen Ling's memories shot into the center of the youth's brows, and in that instant, a portion of the youth's memories also flooded into Chen Ling's mind...

[Yesterday's Revolver], memory exchange.

The moment Chen Ling's memories sank into the youth's mind, the latter's vision went dark. He directly lost consciousness and fell straight backward.

Chen Ling casually snapped his fingers, and the youth's attire was directly Reshaped into the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe. At the same time, a large hole opened up in the wall, and the howling gale swept into the restroom from outside, letting out low whistling sounds.

Looking at the unconscious youth in front of him, Chen Ling unhurriedly used his Bone-Stripping Knife to carve a few bloody scratches on his face, and then stuffed a Playing Card into his clothes...

[Six of Hearts].

"I am looking forward to your performance very much... Six of Hearts." Chen Ling smiled slightly.

The next second, he directly pushed the unconscious youth out of the train.

The figure in the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe flew backward like a sandbag and smashed onto the ground under the train's inertia, rolling wretchedly. As the train roared past, that figure gradually disappeared at the end of the earth...

Chen Ling simply stood in place, quietly watching everything happen.

"Mister, Mister!"

"Are you alright?"

Seemingly hearing the whistling sound of the wind coming from the restroom, the Train Stewardess knocked on the door from outside and asked.

Two seconds later,

The restroom door was gently opened.

Inside the clean and tidy restroom, a figure wearing a gray vest and rimless glasses was standing there, wiping his hands. Seeing the Train Stewardess outside the door, a gentle smile surfaced at the corners of his mouth:

"I'm sorry, the sound of the flushing was a bit loud just now."

The Train Stewardess glanced inside. Both the floor and the walls were intact; the sound of the wind just now seemed to have just been her illusion... Feeling apologetic for her abruptness, she said embarrassedly:

"Mister, we are arriving at the station up ahead. Please prepare your carry-on luggage and get ready to disembark."

"Alright, thank you."

Chen Ling walked straight into the carriage.

At the same time, he was also rapidly digesting the extra memories in his mind that didn't belong to him.

Pu Jianyue, a direct descendant of the Pu Family in the South Sea Domain, the son of the current Head's sixth brother. He had lived a pampered life since childhood and had a gloomy personality, but his heart was full of thirst for power. Returning from his training excursion this time, barring any accidents, he would soon receive praise and be allocated assets that belonged to him.

What Chen Ling exchanged with him were only some memory fragments, so he hadn't forgotten his purpose this time, nor had he forgotten who he was... But as for the real Pu Jianyue whom he had thrown off the carriage, that was hard to say.

After all, the other portion of his memories was inside the belly of the [Spirit Serpent].

The train gradually pulled into the station. Most of the passengers in the carriage had already taken their luggage and were waiting by the door. Chen Ling took down the only remaining black suitcase on the rack and patiently waited at the end of the line.

The vehicle stopped steadily, the doors opened, and the figures of everyone disembarked one after another.

Normally, with Pu Jianyue's status, there would be people to pick him up upon returning to the South Sea Domain. So the very first thing he did upon disembarking was to look around... As expected, the moment he got off the train, many figures walked towards him.

Among them, there was a figure that Chen Ling found incredibly familiar...

"Cousin!!!"

Pu Shu stepped forward and hugged Chen Ling tightly, as if grasping the last life-saving straw. He was as enthusiastic as a blood brother, making Chen Ling fail to react for a moment.

At the same time, Pu Shu shouted with a hint of unwillingness and grievance:

"Cousin... Cousin, you have to stand up for me!!!"
