Chapter 975: Xiao Qi's Obsession and the Past

Xiao Qi's Obsession and the Past

When Sun Miao appeared before Cheng Shi again, this wise man was undoubtedly angry.

The Fate Weaver's return unscathed meant he had properly resolved the beast tamer, but the problem was, why didn't you let me vent my anger on such a satisfying matter!?

Where is the trust between us as fellow vice-presidents of the History School, where is the friendship from when we traded god intelligence?

Also, how did you handle the beast tamer to ensure he wouldn't resurrect?

Sun Miao was full of questions, but seeing Cheng Shi's expression of "digging a hole waiting for me to jump in," he hesitated for a moment, chose not to ask, and instead gave a heavy hum.

"Do I still have to thank you for letting me out?"

Cheng Shi was amused by this remark, which was full of 【Foolishness】, and nodded repeatedly: "If you wish, I would be honored."

"..." Sun Miao was so angry his nostrils began to tremble, but soon he scrutinized Cheng Shi suspiciously: "Something's not right. Since you've already resolved everything, it means this trial has completely lost its meaning for us."

"But after you let me out, you didn't say goodbye, nor did you suggest the next step. What are you plotting again?"

"Because you personally ended an old matter, you're feeling quite sentimental?"

"Forget it, Vice-President Cheng. In my brief contact with you, I can tell you're not a person who dwells on the past, let alone when the person being dwelled upon is Du Qiyu."

"What do you want me to do again?"

"How about it, isn't that right? You're standing in front of me without speaking, isn't it just because you want me to take the initiative to propose what I need to do for you?"

"Last time you at least put on a show, this time you're not even pretending?"

"Don't look at me like that. My wisdom has never been used to be exploited by others. You can't possibly..."

"Wait, the history of the trial has no attraction for you anymore. The only thing I can think of that you care about is that beast tamer. You want me to find some old memories from the beast tamer's corpse?"

Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow, holding back a laugh, and shook his head: "I never thought of that. Don't use your own ideas to 'slander' me."

"..." Sun Miao looked at Cheng Shi with a strange expression. After struggling for a while, he said with a dark face: "Fine, fine, fine. Even if it is what I thought, where is his corpse?"

Faced with face and intelligence, this vice-president of the History School chose the latter without hesitation.

Seeing the other party was so proactive, it wouldn't be good for him to keep stripping away the other's face. So Cheng Shi pretended to glance at the direction of the dense forest casually, and the next second, Sun Miao disappeared in front of Cheng Shi with a "whoosh."

By the time he found Cheng Shi again, a day and a night had passed.

The smoke of the Boro battlefield had gradually subsided, and the encirclement lines of the Grand Court of Judgment and the Tower of Rationality had nearly fallen apart.

Kein Laoer, no, Delwo was undoubtedly an excellent commander. He not only possessed terrifying military command ability but also had personal charisma that transcended ordinary people, allowing this broken war legion to actually increase in number as they fought in this battle.

By this time, countless knights and scholars who were confused by faith, after witnessing the reality of war, had turned to the camp of 【War】 without hesitation.

The trajectory of faith evolution was once again staged before Cheng Shi's eyes.

But whenever he had such feelings, Cheng Shi would think of the scene 【Birth】 had let him see. Just one sentence, one evaluation, could point out a true god from the evolution of faith. That omniscient and omnipotent 【*He】... can He really be "defeated"?

If not, then what is the meaning of the existence of the Fear Sect?

Survival?

Heh, look at the present. Looking around, there are only the shouts of the victors and the corpses of the losers on this battlefield. Where would there be any lucky survivors?

Just as he was thinking this, Sun Miao returned.

This vice-president of the History School had a very complex expression. He walked quietly behind Cheng Shi, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Cheng Shi didn't ask either. The two just looked at the blood-filled battlefield in the distance, silent for a long time.

It wasn't until the sun set behind the mountains and the afterglow faded that Sun Miao told Cheng Shi a story about a protagonist named Xiao Qi.

"You also said that old matters need not be mentioned again, so I won't be that annoying reteller."

"In short, after being adopted by Boss Du, Du Qiyu's life was actually not satisfactory."

"He tasted the sweetness of lies from someone, so he began to try to dig for more benefits through deception in all aspects, even playing these little tricks on Boss Du's business deals."

"Boss Du's business volume was not small, and his business partners were all old foxes. How could a child, no matter how smart, play against these old foxes? So Du Qiyu, thinking he had mastered the secret of social interaction, had no idea he had already become the bait for others' schemes."

"And what they were hunting, naturally, was Du Qiyu's father."

"So look, the growth of a hunter always requires experiencing a real hunt, or, being hunted."

"Soon, the opponent's successive attacks left Boss Du overwhelmed by financial problems. At this time, Du Qiyu, realizing he had poked a hornet's nest, had to accept the old foxes' gag order to get rid of this hot potato, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back."

"Thus, under the combined attack from inside and outside, Du Qiyu successfully 'ruined' the various businesses he was destined to inherit in the future."

"Boss Du was betrayed and disheartened, taking his small treasury and flying far away; the glamorous adoptive mother who had lost the nourishment of money naturally couldn't want a burden, so, in the year Du Qiyu came of age, he became an 'orphan' again."

"How about it, are you satisfied with this ending?"

Cheng Shi chuckled, offering no comment.

But the story wasn't over.

"From then on, the young Du's psychology began to twist. He relied on fraud to maintain his image as a rich young master, while only being able to survive by picking up trash."

"Interestingly, he was also very picky when picking up trash. He wouldn't pick up trash that wasn't from wealthy families, the reason being that a young master's wealthy stomach couldn't eat poor, sour things."

"Hearing this, you probably know why he hates you so much, because you and picking up trash..."

"Apologies, I have no intention of invading your privacy, but Du Qiyu was very interested in this. After he became 'independent,' he even returned to that orphanage and ran into Zhao Xiaogua, who was also there looking for childhood happiness, the one you call Agua."

"Agua is a true winner. After someone was taken away by a good father, Agua became the second lucky child in the orphanage to be adopted by a wealthy businessman."

"His father kept Agua's name and only gave him a 'Zhao' surname."

"The honest Agua is not like Du Qiyu. He has no schemes and doesn't like to stir up trouble, so he lived the most 'ordinary' life: no shortage of food and clothing, studying abroad, graduating from a prestigious school, until he took over the family business..."

"This life trajectory that should have belonged to himself was inexplicably applied to an old friend who was so ordinary that he couldn't be recognized in a crowd. Du Qiyu broke down directly after hearing this."

"But what made him break down even more was that Zhao Xiaogua also told him about your situation, saying you had a good father who loved and cherished you..."

"Do you know about this, Fate Weaver?" ===== CHAPTER 976 =====
