Chapter 132: Sky Screen Livestream System (7)
The barrage of comments beneath the Sky Screen was so numerous it was dazzling:
【And this Immortal Artifact called a sensor faucet is also so magical; water comes out automatically when you put your hand underneath, but where does the water come from? There is neither a water vat nor a bucket or basin; could it be that water in the heavens doesn't need to be stored?】
【This paper is so white! Oh my, why throw it away after just wiping? What a waste of heaven's gifts! The paper our dynasty's scholars use for reading isn't even this good.】
【The paper of our dynasty was improved by the Imperial Son-in-law; it is cheap and of good quality, much better than before, but compared to these immortal papers from the Heavenly Palace, it is still a cut below.】
【It is a pity about the Imperial Son-in-law and the Princess, sigh...】
【Perhaps the Heavens, seeing the eternal merits established by the Imperial Son-in-law and the Princess, took the Little Marquis and the Princess to the heavens to enjoy blessings.】
【That might actually be it! Could this Immortal Artifact that traps the little ones be the immortals of the Heavenly Palace giving the Little Marquis and the Princess an initiation? Otherwise, why start from brushing teeth, washing faces, and using the toilet? It must be because the Heavenly Palace and the mortal realm are so different, and through this, they can let the Little Marquis and the Princess integrate into Heavenly Palace life as soon as possible.】
【Makes sense!】
【Makes sense! Then I will also let my children learn well; these are the rules and habits of the Heavenly Palace! Ordinary people can't even see them if they want to!】
【This time we are blessed by the Little Marquis and the Princess!】
【Oh my! I didn't know until I learned it, so there are so many nuances to rinsing one's mouth?】
【Brush teeth every morning and before bed? Why is it so troublesome! Immortal rules are just numerous!】
【Immortal rules are numerous! But immortal food is also abundant! If this young master could go to the immortal house, I would be more than happy to follow any number of rules!】
【Which big fool said that? As if anyone wouldn't be happy! Only the Little Marquis and the Princess are blessed people who have such fortune; for us ordinary mortals, wanting to enter the immortal gate is as hard as ascending to heaven. Throughout history, this is the first time we have seen the Heavenly Palace and caught a glimpse of immortals.】
【You are the big fool! This young master has a family fortune of ten thousand strings of cash, and I have seen and tasted more things than I can count. Just take the water... the Watermelon that the Little Marquis and the Princess just ate; this young master has had the fortune to see and taste it, and the taste is indeed not bad. You poor, sour thing, what do you know of such flavors.】
【Who are you calling a poor, sour thing!】
【Calling you, ha ha!】
Naturally, those who were arguing in the barrage were all literate people.
The illiterate lower-class commoners only knew that lines of text were constantly flashing beneath the Sky Screen, but as for what was specifically written, unless there was a literate person sitting nearby willing to tell them, it had nothing to do with them; they just happily watched "Super Baby" along with the brother and sister from the Modern Plane.
Xiao Yanze rubbed his white jade teacup and stared at the Sky Screen, his eyes thoughtful.
So, water melon is called watermelon in the Sky Screen world?
He recalled the first year the Imperial Son-in-law and the Princess were married, when people from the Crown Prince Mansion brought a basket of water melons from the Western Regions. He rewarded the Imperial Son-in-law with a few, and the Imperial Son-in-law seemed to have said, "This watermelon is not bad." At the time, he didn't take it to heart, assuming it was a slip of the tongue by the Imperial Son-in-law.
Now, thinking carefully...
Suddenly, a clear, slightly urgent and excited female voice came from the Sky Screen:
"Officer, hello, I am Xie Yang. It was truly hard work for you today! I've troubled you for so long! Where are the children? I saw a clip online from a store-visiting blogger's livestream; the two children really look like my brother. They are my brother's children, right? Where is my brother? Why isn't he with the children?"
Fu Ying and Zhou Liang, who were working in the lobby, stood up at the same time. The former went inside to call the children, while the latter received Xie Yang:
"Hello, Ms. Xie. It was no trouble; this is what we should do. The children are fine; they are inside watching cartoons right now. As for whether they are specifically your brother's children, that still needs further confirmation. The children are very guarded, and for fear of them being repulsed, we didn't ask too much. We only suspected they were child actors from some film crew based on the costumes they were wearing, but we haven't heard anything yet, nor have we seen anyone from a film crew come to report missing child actors."
Xie Yang nodded to show she understood.
At this moment, Fu Ying led the two children out.
As soon as Xie Yang saw them, her eye sockets turned red instantly. She covered her mouth in disbelief, her voice choked with sobs: "So alike... really so alike..."
She stumbled a step, with a sense of wanting to rush over and hug them, but also the helplessness of being afraid to startle them.
In the end, she slowed her pace, walked to the brother and sister, and squatted down. Her burning gaze scanned every inch of the two small faces that resembled Xie Ci by seven or eight parts, and she reached out, wanting to touch them but fearing she might be too rash.
"Are you... is your father named Xie Ci?" Once the words were out, she gave a bitter smile herself, "Look at me! What kind of question is that? My brother has likely lost his memory; how could he still remember his own name... Otherwise, he wouldn't have been gone for so many years..."
The tears she had been holding back finally couldn't be contained, and they fell onto Xie Jinchu's chubby little hand. It burned the child, who gave a start and asked in a soft, milky voice with wide apricot eyes: "Do you know my daddy's name?"
"Your daddy?" Xie Yang was shocked, then filled with a mix of surprise and joy, "So they really are my brother's children? That's great! That's great! Babies, I am your aunt!"
Xie Jilin, who was too late to cover his sister's mouth: "!!!"
Xiao Yanze and all the Daliang People who knew Xie Ci, who were watching the livestream simultaneously, were equally shocked: "!!!"
The Imperial Son-in-law actually came from the Heavenly Palace?!
The question Xiao Yanze had been carefully pondering just now was solved in an instant.
No wonder!
Why the Imperial Son-in-law called "water melon" "watermelon"! Because the world he once lived in called it watermelon!
No wonder!
How the Imperial Son-in-law knew how to improve papermaking! Because he once lived in a world where even hand-wiping paper was whiter and softer than the paper used by scholars!
No wonder!
The Imperial Son-in-law had so many ingenious ideas!
Not long after passing the imperial examination as the top scholar, he presented an improved formula for Glass.
Although the transparency of the improved Glass was not as good as the Glass of the Heavenly Palace, compared to previous Glass products, it was crystal clear and sold well to neighboring countries, filling the national treasury that had been depleting day by day.
But the Imperial Son-in-law gave up various favors, only asking the late Emperor to grant a marriage between him and the eldest sister.
After the marriage, the Imperial Son-in-law hired a group of blacksmiths at a Farm outside the city to manufacture weapons with higher hardness and sharper blades, which fiercely deterred the covetous foreign tribes!
Not long ago, the Imperial Son-in-law sent a secret letter via dark guards, saying he had developed a weapon with greater power and lethality than swords and spears.
Unfortunately, on the way back to the palace to present it, he encountered an ambush...
Thinking of this, Xiao Yanze closed his eyes in grief.
Those people deserved to die!
Xiao Yunhe, who colluded with the assassin organization, deserved to die even more!
But he could not move against Xiao Yunhe yet.
It had not been a month since the Emperor passed away; if he were to depose or kill his own brother, it would not be conducive to the stability of the imperial court.
But one day, he would avenge his eldest sister and the Imperial Son-in-law!
Fortunately, the nephew and niece were safe and sound!
Although they were in a strange environment, for now, it appeared safe and harmless to them.
That was enough!
Even if they were found and kept by her side, there would be no guarantee that they would be safe and sound.
On this side, Xie Yang held the two children and wept bitterly as if to vent, causing everyone present to redden their eyes.
It truly hasn't been easy!
In order to find her missing elder brother, she has been running missing person advertisements for seven years, including this year.
It is said that the annual advertising fee costs over a hundred million; how could an ordinary family ever afford that?
Even for the Xie Family, it was only by selling off companies, luxury mansions, and office buildings that they could keep things running.
Many people whispered behind her back that she was a fool. That car accident was so severe; the Xie Family parents died on the spot without even a chance to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, and the possibility of Xie Ci, who was Driving, surviving was truly too slim.
With so much money thrown into it, what was the difference from throwing it into the water? It would have been better to keep it for herself to spend slowly.
Unexpectedly, she really did wait for this day.
It is evident that even Heaven was moved by her sincerity.
"Stop crying, your eyes will be swollen if you keep crying."
Fu Ying wiped away her moved tears, crouched down, and smoothed back the hair that had been dampened by tears and stuck to Xie Yang's forehead and cheeks:
"Look, as soon as you cry, the two children start crying too."
Xie Jinchu blinked her teary eyes, confused; she was only crying because she was influenced by Xie Yang.
As for Xie Jilin, he was thinking of his father and mother, whose fates were uncertain.
Others, however, thought the two of them were crying because they had accepted Xie Yang as their aunt, and they began to persuade them all at once: "This is a happy occasion! It's not right to cry."
"Isn't it a great happy occasion! Seven years, finally there is news of your brother; you should be happy!"
Under everyone's comfort, Xie Yang finally stopped her tears, took the two children by the hand, one in each, and borrowed the restroom at the Police Station to wash their faces.
After her mood calmed down, she sat down to begin the identification process.
Of course, in the eyes of others, she was just impatient to learn about the situation regarding her brother's disappearance over these years.
This was also normal; everyone could understand.
Perhaps because of the camaraderie of having wept together, the two children were closer to her than they were to the police officers who had spent half the day coaxing them with snacks and drinks, and they sat right next to her when they took their seats.
