Now that he has taken over the league, it's like he's taken on a heavy responsibility.
He has never had this experience before.
Xie Chiyuan pinched his cheek, reassuring him: "I'm here for you, don't be afraid."
"Even if I can't do it, I still have my dad."
Yin Tan ruled the Western District for so many years, and in terms of experience, he had the most.
When the elders were mentioned, Yu An nodded heavily.
With Chief Yin around, his confidence returned immediately.
Seeing that he seemed relieved only after hearing about his father, Xie Chiyuan couldn't help but clench his back teeth.
The car sped along.
Neither the previous green-haired mutants nor the people he brought got on his vehicle.
Yu An assigned them a task, the content of which was very simple—
Tell all the mutants that their leader is now Yu An.
The car was driven for more than a day.
They were about to reach the red dot on the map in their hands.
This map was kept privately by them, and the red dots on it marked the locations of the towns.
As we approached the town, a small butterfly flew over from the car.
To save space, the little butterfly always uses its original shape.
"Big brother."
He flew to Yu An and said, "I want to go and see the town first."
"OK."
As soon as the little butterfly finished speaking, the little fox suddenly darted over.
"Take me with you!"
The little fox hadn't seen her grandmother in a long time and wanted to go back to visit her.
He knew that once you entered a small town, it was difficult to get out, but they had managed to get out last time. This meant that Grandma could still come out.
The little butterfly looked at the little fox for a few seconds, then turned and was about to leave.
Little fox: "???"
The little fox stretched out its paw without thinking.
The fox catches the butterfly; the scene is so fast it almost makes your eyes spin.
"Fourth son, don't grab him!"
Yu An was afraid that the little fox might scratch the little butterfly, so he quickly scolded it.
The little butterfly reacted quickly, swatting the little fox with its wing.
"Take me with you!"
The little fox emphasized, "I can show you the way!"
Little Butterfly still didn't want to take him.
Finally, after Yu An spoke up, Little Butterfly reluctantly agreed to take him along.
"Come here."
The little butterfly grew a little bigger, and he let the little fox climb onto him.
Yu An watched the two of them being affectionate and felt they were quite harmonious, so she took out her phone and took a picture of them.
Yu An no longer posts photos on social media platforms; he only shares them in his family and friends group chat.
The group chat includes the kids, Yin Qin and Ruan Ke, Gu Ainan, and some other friends they have a good relationship with.
Pei Si, Lu Chao, and Dr. Tang Yi were all inside.
Yu An saved the photos to the group's photo album.
When saving the photos, he chose the no-notification mode. This means the photos are uploaded directly but won't appear in the group chat feed.
After sending the photos, Yu An looked outside and saw that the little fox and the little butterfly had disappeared.
He looked away and waited for the car to drive directly to the front of the town.
Although her father had already said that there was no signal in the town, Yu'an still frequently sent messages there these days.
He hoped that his father would see his message as soon as the signal was restored in the town.
"Xie Chiyuan, I want to sleep for a while."
Yu An wanted to get some rest so she could look better after seeing her father soon.
Xie Chiyuan put his arm around him and said softly, "Go to sleep. I'll wake you up when we get there."
"Um!"
Yu An snuggled against him and fell asleep contentedly.
Yu An was asleep, but Xie Chiyuan was not sleepy.
He made Yu An lie down and rest his head on his lap.
"Little one, keep your voice down."
After Xie Chiyuan finished speaking, the children's voices immediately became much quieter.
Bazai also turned the game volume down to the minimum.
Xie Chiyuan looked down at Yu An, then opened his phone and began processing messages.
After he left, Yin Qin said he would help him manage the affairs of the West District, but he would still need to make decisions on some key matters.
Yin Tan placed great importance on this. He insisted that Xie Chiyuan be given the final say on crucial decisions.
Of all the things Xie Chiyuan is focused on dealing with, the one that's causing the most uproar right now is the public opinion surrounding the North District.
As he watched the escalating public opinion, Wen Rong from the North District called.
Xie Chiyuan naturally didn't want to get involved with someone who could even murder his wife and younger brother.
He hung up on several calls in a row, and finally answered one out of impatience.
"Hello."
"Xie Chiyuan, I am Wen Rong."
Wen Rong cut to the chase: "Is there still any possibility of us making peace?"
Wen Rong's murder plot has made Yu An and her child victims of cyberbullying.
The question he asked made Xie Chiyuan laugh.
What do you think?
Xie Chiyuan retorted, "You harmed my people, do you think I'll let you off now?"
Wen Rong's heart sank; he naturally knew the answer.
But he still held a sliver of hope: "If we can make peace, I will offer you terms that will satisfy you."
"unnecessary."
Xie Chiyuan said calmly, "Right now, I just want you dead."
Repaying evil with kindness was never Xie Chiyuan's motto.
Anyone who dares to cheat him should be prepared to face his wrath.
Xie Chiyuan's words left Wen Rong with no choice but to hang up.
After the call ended, Xie Chiyuan snorted coldly.
The insults that An'an endured a few days ago will now be repaid a thousandfold to the culprits.
Tan Zhan is a very skilled manipulator of public opinion, and Xie Chiyuan only just realized this now. He has quite a few people under his command.
These people are all talented, and they are also talented people who can listen to Tan Zhan's words.
With them around, Wen Rong from the North District is now being cursed as if she were a sinner for all time.
Conversely, there is Yu An's account.
While there are still some extreme insults in his private messages, the amount has become negligible.
Xie Chiyuan's calculations were correct; human emotions are indeed phased.
Their past anger and accusations have now turned into guilt and self-reproach.
“Yu An, I’m sorry. I didn’t know about the mutant group before… I didn’t realize how miserable their lives were. I received a message earlier that they also have the right to live.”
"Yu An, I now realize that humans are the most terrifying beings."
"I fear the darkness in people's hearts more than the deformed ones."
Xie Chiyuan didn't take these apologies to heart.
He knows these people too well; those who can easily speak out online are people who are easily swayed by trends.
Don't take their words too seriously.
Xie Chiyuan only looked at Yu An's account. He didn't have the kids' account passwords, so he couldn't log in or check their private messages.
I don't know how much time passed.
The car finally stopped, right below where the little butterfly was hovering.
Xie Chiyuan saw the little butterfly.
He didn't rush to wake Yu An, but instead went to find Little Butterfly.
"Sixth Brother, what are you doing here?"
This is a forest; there is no town here.
