QWTBWASIFOC Chapter 84
by VolareChapter 84: Steady Loyal Dog x Double Soul Genius 20
Zhou Xiuran kept shedding tears, his tearful eyes looking at the only survivor of the Urdan planet massacre, who was also his only son in this life.
His son, whom he held in the palm of his hand, had suffered so much on Urdan planet!
And his wife and unborn daughter!
He should have had both a son and a daughter, a loving and affectionate marriage, but because of his mother, Empress, siblings, he only had one remaining heir, and even that heir was seriously injured.
He would make that group of blood relatives pay with their lives!!!
Gu Changli raised his eyes and glanced at the tearful Zhou Xiuran, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes. His exquisite eyebrows slightly relaxed as he took out a handkerchief and handed it to Zhou Xiuran.
“…Wipe it!”
Jiang Yan was right when she said Zhou Xiuran was a crybaby.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiuran cried even harder, his tears quickly soaking the handkerchief.
“Wuwuwu, my baby has suffered!”
Gu Changli was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Do you have any intention of becoming the Emperor of the Empire?”
Zhou Xiuran’s crying stopped abruptly.
“Huh? What? Of course, I don’t want to, who cares about that damned plague god throne!”
Did he care about being the Emperor? He didn’t care at all!
His fight with the eldest and third siblings was purely for revenge, not to compete with them for the throne.
Gu Changli said softly, “But I want to be the Crown Prince.”
Zhou Xiuran fixed his eyes on his precious son for a moment, then immediately changed his mind without hesitation, “Come to think of it, I actually wouldn’t mind being the Emperor.”
“Baby, don’t worry, I’ll go back to the Imperial Capital Star right away.”
Zhou Moran and her son had already been dealt with by his son, so Zhou Yiran and the Empress would be left to him!
For his baby, what was kinslaying!
Gu Changli said with a calm expression, “I’ll go with you. It’s a good opportunity to meet these elders.”
“My baby is really considerate.” Zhou Xiuran picked up the handkerchief and wiped his eyes, his face full of “My baby is the most obedient in the world.”
Seeing that the father and son were about to leave, Yu Jinzhou quickly caught up with Gu Changli and asked with a complicated expression, “Cousin, why did you destroy your memories back then?”
His cousin could have chosen not to destroy his memories, he could have taken revenge sooner, and their family and his uncle’s family would have fully supported his cousin.
Why did his cousin still choose to destroy his memories?
Gu Changli stopped in his tracks, his gaze bypassing Qin Su, who was following beside him, and looked at Yu Jinzhou.
“Because at that time, I didn’t want to be Zhou Qingning anymore, so I chose to let Zhou Qingning disappear completely, and that child named Zhou Qingning died long ago. What survived was no longer the Zhou Qingning of the past.”
Whether it was Noah or Lin Qingning, they were only half of Zhou Qingning.
Even if Lin Qingning later returned to the original body, he still couldn’t bring back the Zhou Qingning of the past.
That child resolutely abandoned himself.
Just like how he had abandoned his Nine Heads divine bird form in the past and resolutely degenerated into the ferocious beast Guiche.
Gu Changli started walking forward again, ignoring Yu Jinzhou and the reactions of the people behind him.
The young man’s back was straight, like a slender green bamboo. After boarding the aircraft, he suddenly said to Zhou Xiuran, “I plan to change my name. Zhou Qingning is the past, Noah is an incomplete present…”
“In the future, I want to be called Changli.”
Zhou Xiuran nodded repeatedly, “Whatever you say.”
Since his baby didn’t want to be known as Zhou Qingning or Noah anymore, then he should change his name. Anyway, whatever made his baby happy was fine.
Gu Changli glanced at Qin Su, who was acting as a guard behind him, his gaze falling on the tear mole at the corner of the other’s eye, and then moved to Qin Su’s dark eyes.
“Qin Su, what are your plans for the future?”
Qin Su honestly replied, “To follow you.”
Gu Changli casually found a seat and sat down, his beautiful purple eyes rolling slightly.
“Oh, you don’t want to go to the Sirius Legion anymore?”
Qin Su and Zhou Xiuran’s hearts skipped a beat upon hearing this, feeling embarrassed that their little secret had been exposed.
Zhou Xiuran touched his nose, pretending not to hear.
Qin Su pursed his lips, “I won’t go. Your subordinate only wants to stay by Little Highness’s side for the rest of my life.”
Gu Changli said faintly, “You’ve changed quickly.”
He had clearly been willing to listen to the Second Prince’s orders and come to the military academy to protect him for the sake of a bright future, but now he was giving up the prospects of the Sirius Legion.
“Fine, you can follow me from now on.”
Qin Su knelt on one knee, “Thank you, Little Highness. Your subordinate will definitely protect you well.”
Gu Changli casually helped Qin Su up, glancing sideways at Zhou Xiuran, who was deliberately avoiding his gaze.
“You know to hide now? When you arranged guards around me, why didn’t you think that I would see through it? Am I that stupid in your eyes?”
Zhou Xiuran: “…”
To be fair, you were quite stupid before.
I arranged so many neighbors and hidden guards around you in the past, and you didn’t notice any of them. Who knew that you would suddenly become so smart after entering the military academy?!
Of course, he only thought about it, Zhou Xiuran didn’t directly say it out loud to discourage his baby.
“My baby is the smartest in the world.”
“I was just worried about your safety, so I arranged a few more people around you.”
Gu Changli didn’t continue to dwell on this topic, but instead took out a stack of talisman papers and handed them to Zhou Xiuran, “This is the Five Thunderbolts Talisman that I researched some time ago. I’ve already tested it. People below S-rank will die on the spot, and S-rank powerhouses will be seriously injured and unconscious on the spot.”
When Zhou Xiuran heard this effect, a strange sense of familiarity suddenly flashed in his mind. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head to look at his baby.
“All the various accidents that Zhou Yiran and Zhou Moran have had in the past year were all your doing?”
Gu Changli nodded slightly, “It was me.”
“Before I entered the Jose Military Academy, they both poisoned me and tried to take my life, so I conveniently used them to experiment with my talismans.”
Zhou Xiuran frowned, “You knew?”
He clearly hadn’t told his son, and Shen Tan and the others hadn’t revealed the poisoning incident.
Gu Changli blinked his eyes lightly, “Yes, it was also from that time that my memories and strength slowly began to recover, until now, the truth has finally come to light.”
Zhou Xiuran tightly grasped the stack of talisman papers, his eyes never leaving Gu Changli.
“Where did you learn these skills from?”
Gu Changli calmly returned his gaze, clearly seeing the vigilance, worry, and heartache in the other’s eyes, his expression extremely frank.
“…My master taught me.”
He spoke the truth in a gentle voice, every word impacting the listener’s heart.
“Fourteen years ago, Zhou Qingning destroyed his memories, and his soul was split into two halves. One half remained in his body, becoming the dazed and foolish Noah.”
He slightly curved his lips, saying unhurriedly, “The other half of his soul became a small Taoist priest on Blue Star ten thousand years ago. His name was Lin Qingning.”
“Lin Qingning’s parents died, he grew up in a Taoist temple, and the era he lived in was turbulent. Your Hua’an Empire calls that period the Republican Era.”
“Until foreign enemies invaded, he followed his master down the mountain to resist the invaders and defend his country, eventually dying on the battlefield at the young age of twenty.”
“When Lin Qingning opened his eyes again, he was in Noah’s body on Colan-Cosi Star. At that time, Noah was poisoned by Zhou Moran, and his consciousness was suppressed, causing Lin Qingning to think that Nolan was dead and wanted to take revenge to repay the debt, unwilling to occupy someone else’s body for nothing.”
“As a result, Lin Qingning was also poisoned by Zhou Yiran and directly lost consciousness.”
“This is the reason why I was hospitalized last summer.”
Zhou Xiuran and Qin Su’s expressions were stunned, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Gu Changli continued, “When I woke up again in the hospital, I had merged the memories of Noah and Lin Qingning. Because the two halves of my soul merged into one, my mental strength also slowly climbed upward.”
“Until I returned to the Imperial Capital Star, many familiar environments caused my memories to begin to recover. I even started having nightmares every day, so I wandered around looking for memories, and some people’s faces became clear.”
“The appearance of Xia Xuyan and the soldiers blocking the way in the various military regions during the competition accelerated the recovery of my memories, and I finally understood all the truth.”
“Zhou Qingning was the original me, later splitting into Noah, who was determined to become the Empire’s strongest mecha master, and Lin Qingning, who fell into the Taoist temple on Blue Star ten thousand years ago. Finally, the two half-souls reunited.”
“This is the truth of all things, and it’s also the reason why I know talisman Taoism.”
Zhou Xiuran raised his hand and hugged his son, crying again with tearful eyes.
“My son, it’s that I didn’t protect you well!”
“It’s good that you came back safely. Dad will make good use of these talismans you gave me.”
Qin Su turned his back and secretly wiped his tears.
“…” Surrounded by two crybabies, Gu Changli helplessly coaxed Zhou Xiuran and Qin Su, sighing at the difficulty of his life.
