Chapter 304: Cousin, You Are My Real Brother!
“Old Zhao, what are you doing?!”
Li Mu couldn’t help but shout loudly when he saw the Guard Leader’s movements.
“I’m going to the secret room; our esteemed guest is still locked up there!”
As soon as he said this, Li Xin Rou slapped her forehead, recalling the matter.
“Right! Quickly let Cousin out; we mustn’t let him suffocate!”
With the heavy sound of the door opening, Zhou Tong’s figure appeared.
When his face fell into the eyes of the Li family members, all the children went wild.
“It’s Big Brother! He’s the one who saved us from hell!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
The adults laughed as they covered the mouths of the young boys and girls, fearing they might offend the esteemed guest.
“I slept so comfortably!”
Zhou Tong stretched lazily as he emerged, looking at the people around him and joked, “Why is everyone here? Are you all waiting for me to eat?”
“You won’t speak without a filter, will you?”
Li Xin Rou feigned anger and lightly punched his chest.
“It is indeed a feast, but it’s a celebration; without you, our Fortune Star, we wouldn’t dare to start eating!”
She was extremely happy at this moment, feeling that everything was wonderful, even treating Zhou Tong as her lucky charm.
However, when Li Mu heard the words “Fortune Star,” he couldn’t help but tremble all over, as if he had a reflex.
Then he seemed to think of something and hurriedly pushed through the crowd to Zhou Tong’s front.
“You…”
He trembled as he pointed at Zhou Tong, with words stuck in his throat, as if he had something important to say before dying in broad daylight.
“Old man, what do you want to say to me?”
Zhou Tong gazed deeply at the elderly man, and his heart raced a little faster.
The main reason he descended into the Netherworld was to rescue this elderly man.
“Xiao Fan… you are Xiao Fan, I wouldn’t mistake it!”
Upon hearing this, Li Xin Rou’s eyes widened.
“Grandpa… the Xiao Fan you’re talking about can’t be…”
“He is my grandson, your brother, silly girl…”
“Old man, you really know how to joke! I never expected that I would wake up as a grandson; my last name is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Tong!”
Zhou Tong’s fingers couldn’t help but fidget; only those closest to him knew that he did this when he was suppressing his excitement.
“Child… I could never be mistaken; even in death, I wouldn’t misidentify you. The bond of bloodline doesn’t lie; I confirmed it the moment I saw you!”
The old man took out a jade amulet from his bosom and carefully placed it in Zhou Tong’s hand as if it were a treasure.
“Li Fan…”
Zhou Tong looked at the characters on it and instinctively read them out loud.
“This is your name; if you really are Xiao Fan, your blood will react with the jade amulet!”
“A blood-testing jade amulet?”
Zhou Tong recognized the object in his hand and understood its function; without hesitation, he wiped his blood on it.
In an instant, the jade amulet emitted an astonishing radiance, leaving everyone momentarily stunned.
Even Zhou Tong paused for a moment, knowing it was expected, yet he was so stirred.
“Oh my gosh!”
The elderly man was the first to lose control, directly embracing Zhou Tong, tears streaming down his face.
“It’s been fourteen years; thank the heavens for finally bringing you back to my side. May the heavens bless us; our Fortune Star is home, everything will be alright!”
“Yes… it has indeed been a long time. I’m back.”
Zhou Tong also removed his mask and couldn’t help but sigh, tears shimmering in his eyes as he tightly embraced the old man.
For someone who had lived for over a thousand years, the weight of blood ties had grown infinitely thin.
He thought that even if he found his blood relatives, he would treat it casually and consider it normal.
But today he realized he couldn’t do that!
“This… this is real? Cousin has become my real brother?”
Li Xin Rou’s eyes were wide open, not knowing whether to feel happiness or surprise, and she turned to look at the dazed Zhong Ningxue.
Could this cousin also be a biological sister? If so, their family would be thriving!
Who knew Zhong Ningxue was even more shocked? She never thought that their master was a child of the Li family; doesn’t that mean this Li family is about to skyrocket!
“I’m sorry, sister; I deceived you. We are actually sworn siblings; this trip to Central Continent is to return to the master’s school!”
Zhong Ningxue’s mind raced, and she quickly made up for it.
“Then from now on, you are also my sworn sister!”
Li Xin Rou’s eyes sparkled as she held Zhong Ningxue’s hands tightly, fearing she would run away.
At the same time, she didn’t forget to pat Zhou Tong’s shoulder, saying, “Sworn sister is clearly terrifyingly strong; why are you so weak? Starting tomorrow, let sworn sister teach you how to cultivate!”
“Ah…”
Zhong Ningxue was startled; one shouldn’t speak such extreme words.
The Guard Leader also gasped in astonishment, as he had been the one controlled by this news the longest; as soon as he recovered, he fell into a strong mental storm.
“I can’t possibly be dreaming… hold on, let me sort this out…”
He muttered to himself while counting on his fingers, completely mesmerized.
If his logic was correct, the imperial guest who stood tall and made even the Empress bow down, the strongest slayer in the Demonic War, the godly embodiment that could breach the Underworld and create life and death, was none other than Li Fan!
Miss Li’s biological brother, the true grandson of Old Li, the true young master of Old Zhao…
“Yahou!!”
After sorting out his thoughts, he abruptly jumped up, crashing through the surrounding walls and rushing out.
“Ouch! I’m loaded! No, we’re loaded! From now on, let me see which brat dares to speak loudly to me!!”
