Dream Maker [Rebirth]

The room was dead silent, and a needle could be heard falling.

Everything around seemed to freeze instantly, and even the breathing of several people suddenly froze at this moment.

Staring at the spider thread on Misang Yaoyue's wrist, Zhong Wangyou's eyes stared straight as if he had lost his soul, Lu Ci's mind had changed from chaos to a blank, even Ji Wuzhou, who had always been careless, couldn't help being surprised. head.

Only the Family Seeking Gu didn't realize it, with its wrist tied up, it flicked its tail and cut off the spider's thread like a victorious general, then easily turned around and jumped back into Lu Ci's hand.

However, at this moment, Lu Ci has no time to care about it, and his mind is full of thinking about what the spider thread means.

Zhong Wangyou... and the senior sister are blood relatives? !

I'm afraid that this family-seeking Gu has just been tossed madly, but now it has started to talk about it?

Lu Ciman thought that the senior sister would give the same explanation, but unexpectedly when he raised his eyes to look at her, what he saw was a pale face after all the blood had faded.

The usual calmness and dignity of the past have long since disappeared, and what is left of Misang Yaoyue at this moment is only panic and bewilderment.

It was a kind of panic that the secrets that had been buried for several years were unearthed unexpectedly, and it was the bewilderment that had never thought about how to deal with it.

Lu Ci couldn't help but his heart sank.

——Senior Sister's reaction is not at all like thinking that the family-seeking Gu has mistaken the target, but rather like... being exposed by it.

What lie?

Could it be that Zhong Wangyou is really her own flesh and blood?

At this moment, Zhong Wangyou finally raised his head slowly as if returning to his soul, looking at Misang Yaoyue, his eyes were full of astonishment, and even his voice was trembling: "Mother... didn't you say... ...was I adopted by you?"

This interrogation was no different from a talisman that forced Misang Yaoyue, who had already wished to run away, into a situation where she could not retreat.

Facing the gaze of the boy who was cautiously waiting for the answer, the remaining panic in her reddish eyes turned into guilt and embarrassment that she was ashamed to speak out, her long eyelashes trembling uncontrollably, but she was finally speechless.

After staring at each other for a long time, she finally closed her eyes tightly and took a deep breath as if exhausted physically and mentally. When she opened her eyes again, she suddenly turned to Lu Ci, and said with a choked voice: "You don't need to look at those memories again, I already know Who is it? Go to Nanyanji and wait for me first, I will find you soon."

After finishing speaking, she tore off the spider thread on her wrist, took out the fairy palace talisman paper and pulled the boy up, and it instantly turned into a white light in the surprised eyes of Luci and Ji Wuzhou.

The white light dissipated in no time, Lu Ci stared at the air and blinked, then turned his head in disbelief and asked, "Is Wangyou really the child of Senior Sister?"

"Looks like it is." Ji Wuzhou said.

"What about Sister Luo? She is the adoptive mother?" Lu Ci still found it unbelievable, "But why does Senior Sister foster her child in someone else's house?"

Ji Wuzhou thought for a moment, then asked without answering: "Do you still remember what Sister Luo explained to the Missang family?"

Lu Ci was startled for a moment, and then quickly understood what he was referring to—when Huaiqian questioned whether the Misang family would feel sorry for sending the child to the secret realm, Sister Luo once defended the Missan family with emotion. many.

"Why don't you feel bad... let alone sending it away, even if it's just sending it to another house... a mother will worry about it day and night..."

"It's just that sometimes we are in a high position... There are some difficulties that we can't understand... It's all involuntary..."

Hearing this remark at that time, Lu Ci was only slightly surprised by Sister Luo's understanding of Missan's family, but when he thought about it now, he suddenly realized that this understanding, which seemed to be deeply touched by him, was really intriguing.

Sojourn, suffering, involuntary.

Every word seems to mean something.

Seeing that Luci had come to his senses, Ji Wuzhou continued: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess, as the head of the family is not yet married but pregnant, it is a miracle that the Misang family can let her secretly give birth to a child." , will not leak the news to the outside world. After that, first find an unremarkable family in the nearby territory to foster the child, and then bring it back in the name of adoption in a few years, it will be justified."

Hearing what he said, Luci couldn't help but think of the things Sister Luo brought to Huaiqian in his previous memory.

According to Sister Luo, those extremely valuable things were given by others, and there were so many of them, even to the point that she couldn't finish them and couldn't take them away, so she repeatedly gave them to others.

At that time, Lu Ci felt strange, who would be so generous to her?Who has such strong material and financial resources?

However, now that we know that Sister Luo may be the adoptive mother chosen by Misang's family for Zhong Wangyou, then the origin of those things that can be called dragon liver and phoenix marrow can be explained-it is surprising that those treasures appear in the hands of ordinary people. But it would not be surprising to say that they came from the Misang family, which dominates one side.The family's blood is in foster care, and the Missan family is willing to send a lot of precious materials to their children, isn't it a matter of course?

After sorting out these causes and effects a little bit, it is not difficult to understand why Senior Sister Cai took Wangyou away in a hurry.

——No matter what kind of reasons she couldn't help fostering Zhong Wangyou, and how complicated she kept him by her side in the name of her adopted son, it is indisputable that she lied to this child for ten years As a matter of fact, there is always an explanation for him right now.However, this explanation will inevitably involve all kinds of secrets in the past, and it may be difficult just to speak to Zhong Wangyou, so how can it be possible to stay here and speak in front of the two outsiders?

Lu Ci didn't know how the senior sister would explain to Zhong Wangyou, but when he thought about this, he suddenly realized an important question, a question that could never be avoided no matter how the senior sister explained: "Who is the child's father? "

As soon as he blurted out, he immediately lowered his head and looked at the book in his hand that was entwined with spider silk.

Before the family-seeking Gu had entangled his senior sister, he had thought that the reason why the little spider connected this book with Zhong Wangyou was because it contained Sister Luo's aura, but now that he knew that the senior sister was Zhong Wangyou's biological mother, then The breath in this book obviously has nothing to do with Sister Luo, so could it belong to... Zhong Wangyou's father? !

Thinking about it this way, I recalled my senior sister's worried reaction after seeing the handwriting in the book and the phrase "I already know who he is" before she left...

Lu Ci said in horror: "His father...could it be the Gu thief?"

Hearing the word "probably not", Ji Wuzhou raised his eyebrows slightly helplessly, obviously he had already thought of this point, and thought that there was no need to use such skeptical words.

At this moment, Lu Ci even wanted to sigh to the sky for his own hindsight.

Yes, Zhong Wangyou is 13 years old this year.

Then, the time when the senior sister conceived him was not exactly 14 years before the louse was stolen?

From this point of view, the reason why the senior sister had such an excited reaction before was probably not only because her relationship with Zhong Wangyou was exposed, but also because she finally confirmed at that moment that the person who stole Gu was actually the child's biological father!

Lu Ci couldn't help but let out a long breath, feeling that the result of today's investigation was nothing but fluff.

"Let's go first," Ji Wuzhou reminded, "We'll talk about it on the way."

Luci nodded. Before leaving, the senior sister said that she would go to them soon. Although neither of them believed that she would be able to solve everything "soon" when she went back this time, it was meaningless to stay here after all. , it is better to wait for her at the agreed place earlier.

The two went out of the house and returned to the stargazing altar, until they took off in Luyu and set off. Lu Ci was still immersed in the series of accidents just now.

Speaking of it, this investigation really went smoothly, from digging up the baby corpse to borrowing the kin-finding Gu, and then to finding the baby corpse's parents to explore the memories, there have been no major twists and turns.

Lu Ci once thought that this was probably because the Sifang spiritual weapon had not yet appeared in the world, and the Gu thief did not expect that there was such a thing as the Wanling staff in the spiritual weapon that could probe the memory of the deceased, so they didn't do it when they first acted. How best to cover up.

After all, if there is no Wanling Staff, what if someone discovers the connection between the baby's corpse and Sangcheng?Even if you can find the parents of the baby's corpse with the Family Finding Gu, what kind of doorway can you see with just a pile of bones?

However, even with the help of a magic staff, Lu Ci still didn't expect to be able to detect it to such an extent before coming to Sangcheng.It has to be said that everything that happened just now was mostly an accident, so unexpected that it even made people feel a little ridiculous.

Holding the book with the cobwebs of the family-seeking Gu, Lu Ci couldn't help but sneak a glance at Ji Wuzhou, wondering if this person's mouth had been opened.He had just finished saying "fortunate luck, maybe there will be unexpected gains", and then such a big accident hit his head and face, how bizarre and casual it came true?

"What?" Ji Wuzhou quickly noticed his gaze, turned around and asked.

Lu Ci said: "Just now when you opened your mouth to say that there is a windfall, you really have it, why don't you guess who the Gu thief is?"

These words were mostly teasing, but unexpectedly Ji Wuzhou looked at him thoughtfully for a moment when he heard the words, and then suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about why she asked us to go to Nanyanji to wait for her?"

Lu Ci was taken aback, but his mind was already pondering very quickly.

He is actually not familiar with the Human Continent, but he does have an impression of Nanyanji.

In the past, when he was in the secret place, he had seen a record about Nanyanji in an annals. It was said that it was a rocky beach on the coast of the South China Sea. The place where people gather, the place name is also derived from this.

Recalling what was said in the book, Lu Ci suddenly realized that it was a bit strange for the senior sister to choose this place.

Since she already knew who that person was, it must be that the agreed meeting was not just to tell the truth, the next place they would go after meeting was probably where the Gu thief was.

However, Nanyanji is located at the southernmost tip of the human continent. Not only is it far away, but it is also remote and desolate. Place.

unless--

The place they are going to is not in the mainland at all!
