Chapter 254: Reputation ruined
For a moment, no one spoke, and the two sides looked at each other as if they were in a confrontation.
Until, the paper man couldn't restrain his curiosity and ran up to the Ghost King. He paused for a subtle moment and looked up.
The Ghost King looked down at the paper man, surrounded by gloomy energy, eager to try.
The paper man didn't understand the atmosphere at all, and even stretched out his hand to compare heights with the Ghost King, as if he couldn't understand why the Ghost King was so much taller than him, even though he was not a human being.
Just when the Ghost King couldn't help but tear the paper man into pieces, Gu Qingyin quickly summoned the paper man back - so naughty!
The yin energy surged more and more, and Gu Qingyin coughed lightly and said, "Actually, we were just passing by and experienced the game. You let us pass and continue to guard your territory. Wouldn't it be good for us to live in peace and harmony?"
"If we really want to take action, you should be able to tell that we are not afraid of you." Gu Qingyin blinked, "You shouldn't be ready to reincarnate, right?"
In a word, use soft and hard tactics, first with courtesy and then with force.
The Ghost King's face had no expression, it just felt a little darker, but he knew that this man was telling the truth.
He knew everything in the game space. The abilities displayed by Huo Yunjing and Dongfang Lingjun alone were enough to scare him, plus the unfathomable Gu Ziqian.
If he really wants to take action, his chances of winning are indeed very slim. But he was still a little unwilling to let them go like this. Thinking about it, the Ghost King couldn't help but look at Huo Xingchen.
Gu Qingyin's eyes darkened and she moved her fingers. She couldn't help but wanted to pass violently. What did it mean to always stare at her son?
At this time, Huo Xingchen suddenly said, "Actually, I am already twenty-three this year, but my body has become smaller for some reason."
As soon as these words came out, not only the Ghost King but also several adults nearby were stunned.
"Getting smaller?" The Ghost King murmured to himself. Thinking back to Huo Xingchen's performance in the game space and what he said to Gu Qingyin, his heart began to waver.
Since it's not a real child, there seems to be no need to drag it out any longer.
"Did you have a good time as a child?" the Ghost King asked slightly abruptly.
Huo Xingchen sighed after hearing this, "My mother ran away not long after I was born and didn't come back until I was over 20 years old. After my mother ran away, my father wanted to find her back every day, but he didn't care. Me, I go to school by myself, eat by myself, and sleep by myself every day.”
He sniffed pitifully, "I'm really lonely, and I really want to be with my parents." He looked at the Ghost King, "You should understand me, right? Although our experiences are different, our feelings should be similar. They are all children abandoned by their parents.”
What he said was true. If Gu Qingyin hadn't understood the actual situation, he would have been deceived by Huo Xingchen's acting skills. Why would he play e-sports if he was so good at acting? What a waste!
Gu Qingyin felt that she should say something. She took a deep breath, raised the corners of her lips and said: "Mom already knows that she was wrong, and she will definitely make it up to you in the future."
Huo Xingchen leaned closer to Gu Qingyin dependently.
The Ghost King frowned, "She abandoned you."
Huo Xingchen said stubbornly: "But she already knows she was wrong. She has come back to me, and she is very good to me now! I forgive her!"
The Ghost King looked at him with a complicated mood. He didn't know what kind of psychological struggle he was going through. Suddenly, he moved his fingers and drew out the ghost energy buried in Huo Xingchen's body.
Gu Qingyin's eyes lit up and she immediately knelt down to check Huo Xingchen's condition.
When the Ghost King saw this, the unwillingness in his heart faded a bit. He took a step back and disappeared, leaving only a faint melancholy voice, "Be nice to him."
This was obviously meant for Gu Qingyin.
Gu Qingyin sighed secretly, "You don't need to remind me."
The forest shrouded in gloom suddenly became clear before his eyes, and a straight and clean road appeared. Huo Yunjing was very aware of opening the way and should move forward first.
Gu Qingyin picked up Huo Xingchen and followed him, followed by Dongfang Lingjun and Zhang Qiuyan. It was Gu Ziqian who was in charge of breaking up the rear.
The team followed the same order as before and walked out of the Ghost King's territory. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was really subtle.
Gu Qingyin thought for a while and then explained, "I did leave them for a while when they were very young, but I didn't run away. It was because I entered a space where time flows very slowly. Twenty years have passed since I came out. Yes, do you understand? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere became even weirder.
"So..." Zhang Qiuyan said in a complicated tone, "Huo Xingchen is really in his twenties?"
Gu Qingyin blinked, "But he has indeed become smaller now."
Zhang Qiuyan: "...the body of a child and the soul of an adult, am I correct in understanding this?"
Gu Qingyin could only nod, "Yes."
Huo Xingchen turned to look over and saw Zhang Qiuyan's awkward expression. He immediately showed an aggrieved look, "Don't dislike me, I don't want to be like this." By the way, he also explained to his mother, "What I just said to the Ghost King, Most of them are lies. Although my mother is not around, I still had a good time when I was a child. ”
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Afraid that they wouldn't believe it, Huo Xingchen further explained, "Although my father doesn't often take care of us, our family is very rich, and the aunties who take care of us are very careful and responsible, and we have the best food and clothing."
< br>
"The eldest brother is smart and precocious. He almost plays the role of a father. He is very strict with us but does not interfere too much with our freedom. The interests and hobbies of the second brother and I have been fully cultivated."
"Before coming here, I had become a world champion and successfully retired, and now I am dedicating myself to the Tianshi industry!"
"Why doesn't your dad care about you?" Huo Yunjing asked with a frown.
"Huh?"
That's not the point, right? Huo Xingchen thought to himself, but still responded politely: "My dad had been thinking of various ways to find my mother's traces, and he also had to manage the family business. He really didn't have much energy to spare for us. We all understand."
Huo Yunjing pursed his lips. Although there was still a bit of dissatisfaction in his expression, putting himself in his shoes, it seemed that he might not be able to do better.
Gu Ziqian rubbed his chin, "What about me? I didn't go to find you?"
"Uh..." Gu Qingyin was a little embarrassed, "My master, at that time, he had too much time to take care of himself, but later he went to help me seek justice."
Gu Ziqian raised his eyebrows, "Am I dead? Tsk, looking at it this way, there is no need to go back to that world of yours. Isn't it good to stay here? Everyone you know is here."
"There are no big brothers or two brothers here!" Huo Xingchen hugged Gu Qingyin's neck in a panic, "There are also Guoguo and Maomao, they are all waiting for my mother to come back!"
Gu Ziqian saw that the child's anxious eyes were red, and he couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "You are in your twenties, why do you still cry like a child?"
Huo Xingchen: ...He didn't want to, but he really couldn't control his biological instincts.
