Chapter 134
The relationships among family members were so cold! How could Yu Xunge remain stagnant in such an environment?
**[Yu Xunge]:** Hahaha, that’s for sure!
**[Yu Xunge]:** By the way, did you know? Mom and Dad said this little kid is named Yu Xunyi.
**[Miss Big Shot]:** I think Yu Xunsi sounds better. What do you all think? @Qingshan, didn’t expect this @Qiuguo, neither did I.
**[Miss Big Shot]:** Mom and Dad, why aren’t you home? Where did you go?
It was a pity that Yu Xunhuan didn’t go for a horror film; she looked just like a psycho.
She wasn’t surprised that Yu Xunhuan didn’t chase after them. They were about to fight the Jiaolong in two days, and at this moment, Yu Xunhuan simply couldn’t leave. If she wanted to chase, she’d have to wait until the first round against the Jiaolong was over.
Yu Xunge happily turned off her phone. Every time she saw her family so loving and close, it filled her with happiness!
With the important matters taken care of, she needed to start arranging things for Liang Yuchuan.
**[Chapter 172: Liang Shark, Liang Shark, Liang Shark, Liang Shark, Liang Shark]**
Unaware of the arrangements being made for him, Liang Yuchuan was in the study listening to Liang Shark assign her tasks.
Logically, Su Yitong should hate Liang Yuchuan the most. Negotiation threats were not something Liang Yuchuan should handle; it could easily escalate tensions and ruin the negotiations.
However, after Liang Shark observed Su Yitong’s two collaborations with the Special Affairs Bureau and had someone investigate her actions before and after the game invasion, she insisted that this task must be handled by Liang Yuchuan.
—“Because she envies you.”
—“You possess what she desires most. Long before the game officially invaded, your grandparents, your uncle, and I had already been grooming you as the next head of the Liang family. This has nothing to do with your gender or talent; it’s simply because we love you, which is why we nurture you.”
—“This is precisely what she cannot attain.”
—“Through her, we might be able to topple the entire Su family.”
—“I need you to provoke her. Our true goal isn’t the Jiaolong; we’re already a step behind on that. We want her Hope Anthem.”
—“This time, you can be a bit reckless and impulsive. Just be yourself.”
Liang Yuchuan: ?
I mean, she accepted that she had a bad temper, but when did she become brainless!
She was the Water Goddess, okay?
Liang Jing quickly cleared his throat: “What I mean is, let your true nature shine. Be as arrogant as you want, but don’t try to be subtle or think of using words to manipulate Su Yitong.”
It felt like she was being scolded.
Liang Yuchuan raised her fist and pointed at herself: “I’m S-rank, the Water Goddess.”
Liang Shark nodded in satisfaction: “Good, that’s the spirit!”
Liang Jing: “Exactly! Little Fish is amazing; no one at home can beat you. Your combat talent is top-notch! Just remember, when you’re talking to Su Yitong, don’t think of any schemes like using a knife to kill from behind or sowing discord. That’s too underhanded. The Liang family doesn’t stoop to such tactics; we’ll be straightforward, got it?”
He couldn’t understand it either. Looking at the Water Goddess’s skill description, he always felt she should be aloof and taciturn. How did she end up with Liang Yuchuan?
Liang Shark: “Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.”
Liang Yuchuan: “...You could just say that if I ever think of using schemes, Su Yitong will see right through me, right?”
Liang Jing: “Isn’t that to spare your feelings...”
Liang Yuchuan: Such a considerate uncle.
...
After that day in the study ended on a sour note, Su Yitong and Su Langfeng tacitly agreed to act as if nothing had happened. They pulled a curtain over the crumbling, dilapidated building, and she remained the beloved young lady of the Su family. Su Langfeng and Su Baibo still acted like a good father and brother in front of Su Yitong.
Su Langfeng didn’t mention the Jiaolong again, but the next day, he found several teachers for Su Yitong, all of whom were extremely skilled veterans, including lone wolves who had participated in training camps. Su Yitong then withdrew from the Special Affairs Bureau’s training camp.
With Su Yitong out, Yu Xunhuan naturally couldn’t go in.
So he had to text Yu Xunge to say he didn’t want to go to the Special Affairs Bureau’s training camp anymore.
When Yu Xunge asked why, he replied that it was because his wife wasn’t going, and he wanted to stay home with her.
One could only say everyone was a good actor.
On the 30th, while Yu Xunhuan and Su Yitong were practicing their skills, they heard the game announcement. The two of them tacitly congratulated Yu Xunge but didn’t pry into what she had done. That person was too cunning; she definitely wouldn’t spill the beans.
They silently continued leveling up with Lan Cheng and the others. At that moment, Su Yitong received a private message from Liang Yuchuan.
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** Hey, check your email. I sent you something good.
Su Yitong didn’t ignore Liang Yuchuan’s message. After casting a healing spell on Su Wu, she immediately opened the email and saw the paternity test and blood test results.
With both reports side by side, Su Yitong instantly understood what they meant.
Yu Xunhuan’s blood had been obtained by someone.
To stubbornly insist that the results referred to Yu Xunge? That thought only lingered in Su Yitong’s mind for a second before she dismissed it. It was useless and would only offend Yu Xunge and the Special Affairs Bureau.
She didn’t know when it had happened, but Yu Xunge had become someone Su Yitong couldn’t afford to offend...
**[Su Yitong]:** What does the Liang family want?
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** Hand over the Jiaolong to me.
**[Su Yitong]:** Even if you could catch it, it wouldn’t be yours to take.
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** LOL, you think I’m like you? The Liang family may be run by my uncle, but you’ve heard how much power I have in the Liang family, right? I’m not some pathetic person who needs to find a son-in-law to stay relevant.
Su Yitong gritted her teeth, trying to maintain her last shred of rationality and dignity.
**[Su Yitong]:** The Jiaolong is impossible. Just tell me your goal directly. If you don’t, I’ll just ask Liang Shark.
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** You think you can just call my mom by her full name?!
**[Su Yitong]:** Liang Shark, Liang Shark, Liang Shark, Liang Shark, Liang Shark.
Liang Jing and Liang Shark silently watched as Liang Yuchuan went from smug to furious.
Liang Yuchuan pointed at the invisible game screen and complained to Liang Shark: “Mom! She actually dared to call you by your full name!!”
Liang Shark: “...So what? Her name is only two characters long. Should I expect the rival family to call her Sister Shark?”
Liang Jing: “Is your temper too hot...?” He suddenly stopped, realizing that Liang Yuchuan had only become more irritable after losing most of her arm, and he felt a pang of sympathy for her.
After losing her right hand, Liang Yuchuan’s temper had indeed flared up, but she didn’t wallow in self-pity or give up. She spent hours every day practicing with her left hand. Even at that moment, she wore a weighted wrist on her left hand, and her left hand was constantly playing with a butterfly knife, which she used to train her dexterity.
Every time Liang Jing saw Liang Yuchuan training, he felt a mix of fear and admiration. The worst incident was when she accidentally sliced off her own index finger. Even though she was trembling in pain, she didn’t cry or make a fuss. Instead, she gritted her teeth, picked up her finger, reattached it, downed a potion to heal it, and continued training.
Liang Shark noticed that even on a hot summer day, Liang Yuchuan wore a black long glove on her right hand and played with the butterfly knife with her left. She clearly thought of the same thing and smiled: “Then you’d better help your mom vent her anger.”
Liang Yuchuan: “No problem!”
Saying that, she lowered her head again and began to passionately argue with Su Yitong.
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** Su Langfeng, Su Langfeng, Su Langfeng, Su Langfeng, Su Langfeng.
**[Su Yitong]:** He’s dead.
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** ?
Liang Yuchuan fell silent.
She really couldn’t win...
**[Su Yitong]:** So? Just give me your bottom line. If you don’t, I’ll block you.
**[Su Yitong]:** The impact of this matter isn’t as big as you think. If you make it public, I can just get a divorce.
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** Aren’t you afraid people will say you’re also sick?
**[Su Yitong]:** Whoever says it, I’ll just send Yu Xunhuan to their house.
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** You should go see a psychologist...
**[Su Yitong]:** You need it more than I do.
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** The Liang family wants your Hope Anthem, but I need to meet you once. After I know the details of your skill, we can discuss further.
**[Su Yitong]:** Haha, you dare to threaten me without knowing anything.
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** …………
**[Liang Yuchuan]:** 10 PM on the 1st. You better show up at the Liang family on time. I’ll be waiting at home.
**[Chapter 173: Even Cured, Still Drooling]**
That morning, Yu Xunge was digging a cat nest in the backyard, chatting with Zhao Shuying about the rewards.
**[Yu Xunge]:** The skill crystal for August’s “Happiness Again” has been sent to your email.
**[Zhao Shuying]:** Got it. You’ve accumulated the earnings from selling skill crystals for several months now. You can come collect them anytime. The Special Affairs Bureau only bought half; the rest were sold to various factions and guilds.
**[Yu Xunge]:** No rush, you all can arrange it. Can I choose the A-rank skill reward myself?
**[Zhao Shuying]:** Of course! Otherwise, how could it be called a reward? Just tell me your requirements, the more detailed, the better. I’ll give you a few options.
**[Yu Xunge]:** Skills that reduce cooldown times or can mitigate mental damage, passive skills preferred.
**[Zhao Shuying]:** There are very few such skills. We only have three options...
