The two people were both shocked. Whipping their heads around in unison, they saw the Abysswalker over there putting away the fishing pole.
Xie ChengYan said: “When did you come back?”
Fang JingXing said: “Just now.”
The two people looked at him suspiciously and then swiftly reviewed their conversation just now.
When they were speaking, they paid special attention to their words and actions. Xie ChengYan didn’t call him uncle, nor say that he was returning to grandfather’s house after discharging from the hospital. They only talked about spending New Year’s together…… so it should be okay.
Xie ChengYan said skeptically: “Really?”
Examining his tone, Fang JingXing understood.
Looks like these two were having some kind of secret conversation he couldn’t hear again. He suppressed the sour feeling in his heart and smiled: “Guess.”
Xie ChengYan didn’t want to guess.
However, just recalling how his childhood friend already suspected that Jiang Chen might have some kind of relations with his family, he already felt a bit faint.
Good thing, all of the guild leaders logged in and came over at this time. As such, Xie ChengYan hastily changed the topic, chatted with them for five minutes, and then ran off swiftly.
The remaining people continued the quest.
Fang JingXing accompanied the Wardcaster as usual and suppressed his voice to say: “You can leave the hospital by New Year’s?”
Jiang Chem was more composed then Xie ChengYan: “Not certain.”
Fang JingXing moved closer: “If you can leave the hospital, I can spend New Year’s with you?”
Jiang Chen subconsciously wanted to refuse, wanting Fang JingXing to spend it with his family.
However, considering Xie ChengYan’s words again, it seemed as if they could spend New Year’s together. With Fang JingXing’s intelligence, it’s impossible for him to not notice this point.
In other words, if he told Fang JingXing to spend the time with his family, Fang JingXing would definitely contemplate why he didn’t refuse Xie ChengYan. If he thought about this on an even deeper level, then it would be problematic. As such, Jiang Chen said: “We’ll see when the time comes.”
Fang JingXing hoped to pursue this person successfully by that time, so he replied with a smile and asked, despite already knowing the answer: “Are you bored in the hospital? I’ll make time to see you?”
Jiang Chen said: “No need.”
Fang JingXing seized the momentum to switch to his main focus: “Then what do you like? I’ll ask Auntie to bring you something?”
Jiang Chen immediately said: “No need.”
There was already that voice message mishap in the morning. If Fang JingXing ran over again to ask Jiang ShiLan to bring him something, there’s no need to guess to figure out which direction his sister’s thoughts would head towards.
He looked at this League Adonis and suggested sincerely: “You have plenty of time right now and so many people like you. If you’re free, go date someone. Don’t always focus your attention on me. Other people might misunderstand.”
Fang JingXing: “…….”
The guild leaders who just happened to walk within the vicinity: “…….”
Tragic, too tragic.
White Dragonbone and the others looked at the gear they were wearing and felt like they were definitely going to run naked.
This was the first time the League Adonis, Captain Fang, fell in love. He didn’t even experience the wonderfully sweet and sour feeling of having a secret crush before already getting stabbed with a knife.
He secretly took a breath to recover and glanced at the people behind them. Noticing that they had moved away tactfully, he finally looked towards the Wardcaster and said: “It’s not like I like them.”

However, if anyone needed to be blamed, it had to be a certain someone who insisted on messing around that one time. One should take responsibility for the trouble they’ve created. Jiang Chen said coldly: “No need. I’m not lacking anything.”
Fang JingXing smiled exasperatedly: “Alright.”
Pausing briefly, he asked one more question: “If ChengYan gave you something, would you take it?”
To prevent him from sending stuff in Xie ChengYan’s name, Jiang Chen also blocked this opportunity for him: “Nope.”
Fang JingXing felt a bit more equal internally and guessed that perhaps the research institution didn’t allow him to accept anything. After all, they didn’t even allow him to use his cell phone anymore. He didn’t even return the messages…… Thoughts switching over onto this matter, he suddenly recalled that he seemed to have sent something inappropriate back then. Opening the conversation screen, he checked and instantly burst out laughing.
For a second just now, he had thought the Wardcaster wanted him to go on a date with someone because the guy already had someone he liked and wanted to draw the boundaries clearly with him.
Examining the issue again, so this was what happened.
Perhaps everyone in the research institution already knew that the Wardcaster has a rumored boyfriend by now…… The stab wound that he received instantly healed.
Jiang Chen said: “What are you laughing about?”
Fang JingXing was in a delighted mood: “Nothing.”
Jiang Chen didn’t know what he was going crazy over now and didn’t want to discuss this matter again, so he said: “Hurry up and search. Let’s finish this quest as soon as possible.”
Fang JingXing agreed and walked with him for a while before recalling one thing: “Did the wolf bite the Wizard?”
Jiang Chen recalled the Wizard’s appearance: “He was wrapped up in a cloak. Couldn’t tell.”
Fang JingXing said: “Everyone the wolf bit was a member of Radiant Moon. If it didn’t bite the Wizard, would it go seeking the Wizard?”
If it went seeking the Wizard, it should have been running in the direction of the small village back then.
The two of them had this same thought simultaneously. As such, they gathered the squad members and went to the nearby village.
Wooden Shackles said: “Didn’t the Wizard go to the altar in the end? It didn’t follow?”
Fang JingXing said: “Perhaps something happened halfway? Let’s go check it out first.”
The group reached the village and discovered the blood stains on the ground with their sharp eyes.
As such, they went to converse with the NPCs here. They learned that a blood wolf had charged into the village and ran around all over the place, looking as if it were searching for someone. Unfortunately, it didn’t find the person, so it entered the mountains.
As such, they followed the scattered blood stains and searched up the mountains. In the end, they reached the door of a huntsman.
…… It couldn’t have already been made into a scarf, right?
The group fell silent for a moment and pushed the door open. They saw the blood wolf lying limp on the ground, on its last breath.
The huntsman was currently touching its head. After learning the intention of their arrival, he sighed and said: “Alright, you guys can take it away. What a nice wolf though, it probably won’t be able to survive.”
Wooden Shackles and the others also felt it was done for and asked: “What are we going to do? Bring back the corpse?”
Fang JingXing looked at the quest log “Find the Potion Master” and said: “We’re missing a Potion Master.”
Wooden Shackles said: “Is there enough time?”
Fang JingXing said: “Can give it a try.”
As such, the group treated this as a desperate, last-hooray situation and got ready to split into two squads, one squad to carry the wolf back to Yi Lin, the other squad to find the Potion Master.
For more safeguards, Wooden Shackles and the others strongly requested the two Aces separate. Exasperated, Fang JingXing had no choice but to split up temporarily with the Wardcaster.
Fortunately, they didn’t separate for long. When the squad delivering the wolf walked to Yi Lin’s location, they saw a girl standing next to Yi Lin. Simultaneously, the task “Find the Potion Master” changed to “Completed”. Clearly, this was the Potion Master.
Meanwhile, the blood wolf was strong willed and still had a breath left even now.
Yi Lin and the girl both went crazy and hastily rushed forth to check its injuries.
The girl told them they were lacking medicine. Immediately afterwards, a list of items appeared in the quest log.
Alright, looks like they couldn’t avoid the task of finding medicine.
The 10-man squad went to gather ingredients for the medicine. They searched all the way into the deep of the night, yet were still unable to find everything. As such, they agreed to continue tomorrow.
Fang JingXing looked at the time and knew that the Wardcaster had already gone to sleep a while ago.
Laying in bed, he examined his feelings. Considering the existence of a potential love rival, he dialed Xie ChengYan’s number.
Xie ChengYan had just finished filming and was feeling exhausted. When he saw the call, he jumped and answered nervously: “What’s the matter?”
Fang JingXing looked at him: “I want to ask you something.”
Xie ChengYan did his best to maintain his composure: “What?”
Fang JingXing said: “Are you interested in the Wardcaster or not?”
Hearing this, Xie ChengYan felt relieved and his tensed nerves relaxed instantly. He secretly said to himself, looks like his childhood friend didn’t examine things too carefully, and thus said: “Not interested.”
To avoid trouble, he added: “I like girls. I only treat him well because I genuinely feel bad for him.”
Fang JingXing said: “Why do you feel bad for him?”
Xie ChengYan exhausted his emotions too much tonight, his mind was somewhat sluggish. Hearing those words, he subconsciously recalled his uncle’s face and blurted out: “His face makes me feel bad.”
Why didn’t he inherit his little uncle’s countenance!
Fang JingXing was startled: “Face?”
Xie ChengYan only returned to his senses after speaking. As such, he could only follow Fang JingXing’s previous train of thoughts and continued to say: “It’s just…… a bit, you know……”
He attempted to find a suitable reason: “Didn’t I see his photo before? I just feel like he might not be well-liked, so I feel sorry for him.”
The more he spoke, the more logical he felt. He started to sound more justified and confident: “Very sorry for him. If you saw him, you’d definitely feel bad for him as well!”
Fang JingXing said: “Oh, let me see then.”
Xie ChengYan said: “I don’t have a photograph.”
Fang JingXing stared at him with a smile, not speaking.
Xie ChengYan weakened under his gaze and said: “Well… you wait a bit. I will ask my mom for a photo.”
Feeling like Xie ChengYan’s state of mind today, Fang JingXing had just wanted to scare him with a bluff for info. Who would have imagined there to be an unexpected harvest as a result.
He couldn’t refuse this temptation and said with a smile: “Alright, I’ll wait for you.”
Xie ChengYan hung up on the call and ran off to wash his face. Mind waking up completely, he felt a bit regretful.
But things have already reached this point, he had no choice but to fill in the holes. As such, he hastily ran off to find his assistant and made the other take a picture of him, wanting to photoshop it a bit.
The assistant said: “You want to send a selfie?”
Xie ChengYan said: “No. Hurry up and take the picture and then photoshop it immediately. As ugly as you can make it.”
The assistant was dumbfounded: “……Ah?”
Xie ChengYan didn’t have time to explain. After his assistant finished taking the picture, he moved closer to command the situation: “Can’t let people tell it’s me. Distort the facial features a bit. Make the hair a bit more yellow. Raise the hairline. Put some pimples on there……Ahh, add more than that.”
As the assistant worked, he felt “then content=”the gust of wind”]The same WTF meme as the previous chapter xD[/tn]: “What are you planning to do with this?”
Xie ChengYan said: “Don’t ask. Your job is done after the photo-editing.”
He examined the image again and decided to add something major: “How about this, why don’t you add a huge black mole on there, as big as a thumb.”
The assistant said: “……As big as a thumb?!”
Xie ChengYan thought briefly: “Forget it.”
The assistant instantly let out a breath of relief.
Xie ChengYan said: “As big as a pinky then.”
The assistant: “…….”
He was certain that the Movie King had gone crazy today. After finishing the photo-editing, he thought it was an appalling sight too horrible for the eyes. After looking at it once, he didn’t want to see it a second time.
Xie ChengYan was extremely satisfied and sent the photo to Fang JingXing.
Fang JingXing was waiting both nervously and expectantly. Seeing this, he hastily opened the chat box and was immediately greeted by a face.
Fang JingXing: “……”
For the first time in his life, Captain Fang had tentatively extended a leg towards online dating…… his leg broke.
Xie ChengYan waited for quite a while. Seeing the other not saying a word, he didn’t know if his childhood friend discovered that the photo was fake. Cautiously, he sent a message to ask: How is it? Isn’t it pretty tragic?
After receiving quite a hard and abrupt blow, Fang JingXing temporarily could not put together the face on the photo with the Wardcaster. For some reason, he felt something was weird here.
However, he also knew that the Wardcaster had encountered a difficult problem that medicine could not solve right now, so that’s why the other went to become a volunteer at the research institution. Thinking about how the other might genuinely be discriminated against because of this, Fang JingXing felt somewhat bad for him.
As such, before his mind could recover properly, his hands were already automatically starting to say nice words for his family’s Wardcaster: It’s alright.
Xie ChengYan: ? ? ?
Bahahahahahah
BAHAHAHAHA LMAOOO When it all comes into light, I very much look forward on what will happen then xD
Thank you for the chapter!🫶🫶
Xie Chengyan if your uncle finds out you did this he’s going to flip 😭
What are the chances that Fang JingXing decides to post this photo with Xie ChengYan tagged when he finds out he’s been tricked?
no- no Chenyan how could you do that to your uncle?! Clearly he is a peerless beauty and your appearance was inherited from him!!! 😭 😭 😭
Thank you for the chapter <3
Fang JingXing is so whipped that he calls that heavily photoshopped picture that is extremely ugly, “alright” because he thinks it’s Jiang Chen- 😂😂
True love is beyond the appearance😂
