The little butterfly swooped down and said succinctly to Xie Chiyuan, "The town is gone."
Xie Chiyuan: "?"
Xie Chiyuan didn't understand.
He looked around and frowned. "Are you looking in the wrong place? The town is very obvious; you can see it at a glance."
This time, the little butterfly didn't speak, but the little fox's face tightened: "We didn't make a mistake, we didn't make a mistake."
"The town is gone, and I can't find Dad and Grandma Gu!"
The town will disappear—this is something Gu's father never told him!
Mr. Gu only told him not to bring his older brother back, but he didn't say that they would be unable to find the town after they returned.
Thinking of her grandmother who was still taking medicine, and her grandmother's deteriorating health, the little fox became extremely irritable.
"The town must be right here. There must be some kind of illusion preventing us from seeing it."
Xie Chiyuan took the two cubs' report very seriously.
He woke Yu An up and notified all the children at the same time.
"Fourth Brother suspects there might be a trick here. What are your thoughts?"
The quaint little town suddenly vanished. Everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Yu An repeatedly checked the location.
His face was grim. After all, just when he thought everything was starting to go smoothly, the sudden loss of news about his father and grandmother was nothing short of a bolt from the blue.
"An'an, I'll get someone over here."
Xie Chiyuan was worried that Yu An would be too anxious, so he whispered to comfort her.
“Don’t be afraid. I think the reason why we don’t see the town is because your father designed it.”
“Don’t forget, there’s a bunch of lunatics in this town. Dad and Grandma’s job is to keep an eye on them and prevent them from going out.”
"They would do this to stop them and to avoid being disturbed by outsiders, to create a smokescreen for the town."
Xie Chiyuan's words sounded very convincing.
Yu An, her face still slightly pale, stared at the empty woods in front of her, remaining silent for a long time.
The children have already split up to look for clues.
Yu An closed his eyes, held Xie Chiyuan's hand, and finally spoke under Xie Chiyuan's tense gaze.
"Call the little ones over."
"good."
Xie Chiyuan called all the children back, and Yu An, seeing them all come over, said, "Stand at the back."
Although Xie Chiyuan and his children didn't understand why, they obediently did as he was told.
With them all behind him, Yu An took a few steps forward.
And then.
Yu An entered a state of supernatural abilities, starting with Da Zai's abilities and continuing to Qiu Qiu's abilities—
He practically leveled the entire area.
When the younger children saw their older brother like this, none of them dared to utter a sound.
Ba Zai touched his head with a lingering sense of unease, muttering, "Big Brother still loves me. When he hits me, he's still very gentle."
Compared to his current older brother, the older brother who occasionally beat him up was incredibly gentle.
Yu An completely wiped out this place.
Xie Chiyuan didn't stop him, nor did he say anything more.
He simply took the children and moved back a little.
"Xie Chiyuan, Big Brother, Big Brother—"
"Big brother is alright."
Xie Chiyuan coaxed Qiuqiu, "Big brother is just looking for Dad and Grandma."
Yu An made a huge commotion, activating all the abilities of the A-sequence aberration variant, and the scene was unimaginably terrifying.
Xie Chiyuan stood not far away, quietly watching Yu An.
He discovered that once his superpowers were activated, or his emotions were severely impacted, his An'an would become very different from usual.
An An looked cold and indifferent, as if she were made of ice.
In fact, when his gaze swept over, Xie Chiyuan felt as if he were being ignored.
He didn't like this feeling.
After Yu An had leveled the area to the point of being completely flat and had vented all his emotions, Xie Chiyuan finally walked over.
Yu An swayed and fell from mid-air into Xie Chiyuan's arms.
Xie Chiyuan caught him steadily, and then looked down at him.
Yu An met his gaze with her cold, angry eyes.
Xie Chiyuan's Adam's apple bobbed.
He said softly, "An'an, rest. Leave this to me."
Yu An was completely exhausted at this moment.
He can't do anything else.
Under Xie Chiyuan's hypnotic voice, Yu An closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
After he fell into a deep sleep, Xie Chiyuan put him in the car.
"Xie Chiyuan, how is my elder brother?"
"It's nothing, he's just too tired."
Xie Chiyuan had seen Yu An overexert himself. Tang Yi had examined Yu An's body and then talked to him about Yu An's health.
So he knew that this was a normal phenomenon.
"So what do we need to do now?"
Since they couldn't find the town, their plan to return there to visit their father and grandmother was definitely ruined.
"Back to the West District."
Yu An is very destructive; he has already turned this place upside down, so continuing to search will be futile.
Xie Chiyuan still trusted Gu Ainan, believing that she was capable of protecting herself.
Xie Chiyuan gave the order, and the car drove off again.
Along the way.
The children all gathered around Yu An. Yu An was severely exhausted this time, and he had been unconscious for a long time without waking up.
Xie Chiyuan looked down at Yu An, who was still unconscious.
He didn't let the car stop halfway again; when they passed a fork in the road, he sent all the kids off.
Before sending the child away, he asked a question.
"If you're going to capture Erzai, how many of your 'calves' will you need to send out?"
The eldest cub is gone, the third cub is gone, and the remaining cubs are all less capable than the second cub.
But fighting alone wouldn't work, Xie Chiyuan thought, but a group fight would be possible.
Upon hearing Xie Chiyuan's question, all the kids in the car raised their hands in unison.
Xie Chiyuan glanced at the situation and decided that all the cubs needed to be caught.
His eyelids twitched, and he gave a heads-up: "Don't start a group fight right away. Try to reason with Erzai first."
"Just tell him that he doesn't need to go out and fight for his brother's empire."
“Let him come back to suffer—cough, let him come back to see his elder brother.”
Seeing that they were all going, Xie Chiyuan waved his hand and decided to let them all go.
The children all left, but Tan Zhan stayed behind.
Xie Chiyuan looked at him, raised an eyebrow and said, "Aren't you going to stay with your Qibao anymore?"
Seven just rushed out with the other kids.
Tan Zhan, who was in the driver's seat, did not follow.
When Xie Chiyuan asked him, Tan Zhan calmly replied, "I don't need to go this time."
"There are more people this time, he won't lose the fight."
Xie Chiyuan: "..."
Xie Chiyuan's lips twitched: "I already said, I'm not asking them to fight. I'm asking them to reason with Erzai first and bring him back."
Tan Zhan: "?"
Tan Zhan asked slowly, "Do you think they're the kind of kids who can reason?"
Xie Chiyuan remained silent.
Xie Chiyuan didn't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, he had told them not to fight, and whether they would fight or not was none of his business.
Without the kids, Tan Zhan once again became a background figure, acting as the driver, and Xie Chiyuan felt very quiet.
He could quietly stay with Yu An.
Tan Zhan kept his eyes fixed straight ahead, not even sparing them a glance.
The car was driving very fast.
Xie Chiyuan took Yu An back to the West District in the evening.
Ruan Ke knew that Yu An was unconscious, so he quickly called Tang Yi over.
