Chapter 114: It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (19)

This year, like every year, the birthday party ended unpleasantly.

Mo Sinian should have been the protagonist of the party, but usually he became a background board after making a wish. He could only sit aside and watch the family of three talking in a weird atmosphere, as if there were ice chips on their mouths.

Mo Sinian knew that this was all because of him.

He squeezed out another person's chance of survival, robbed the other person's life, and destroyed a family.

Even though he was a baby who couldn't make a choice back then, even though he was innocent strictly speaking, as a beneficiary, Mo Sinian couldn't help but feel guilty.

He felt guilty towards the Mo family, but he looked forward to every birthday in his heart.

"Sinian, shall we talk?" Mo Hongxue stopped Mo Sinian who was about to go back to his room, and said in a gentle voice: "Is it convenient?"

"Yes." Mo Sinian nodded heavily and followed Mo Hongxue to his study.

He enjoyed the feeling of being taught by his father.

Mo Hongxue was a kind father. He did not ask about Mo Sinian's studies, but first asked about his life. "How have you been recently? Are the teachers and classmates in school getting along well?"

"Everything is fine." Mo Sinian said.

Mo Hongxue smiled: "Yaoyao has never been wronged since she was a child, and she is straightforward. She just can't accept it for a while, not because she has any opinion on you, don't mind it."

After today, this "for a while" has been nearly seventeen years.

Mo Sinian lowered his head, "I won't."

He didn't call him father.

He realized that no matter how gentle and responsive Mo Hongxue was to him, he didn't really treat him as his own son.

——Mo Hongxue would not say to Mo Hexuan in such a polite tone not to mind.

"Sinian, I heard that you are investigating the case of that year?"

Mo Hongxue sighed, "To be honest, I don't really want you to continue investigating."

This naturally refers to the case of Tang Chaoyan's treason.

Mo Sinian's identity is too sensitive. If someone notices it, the blood bond cannot be concealed under today's technology.

Mo Sinian basically does not refute anyone's request in the Mo family. This is the first time: "But father, do you think... he will do such a thing? I don't believe it."

Since he knew his life experience, he has looked up a lot of information about Tang Chaoyan.

Tang Chaoyan is a celebrity who has attracted much attention. There are countless audios, videos, interviews, and deeds preserved.

Before the final betrayal, he was indeed a very good person, brave and fearless, as if there was no stain. If an uninformed person saw it, he would not associate the final betrayal with him at all.

How could shameless darkness and righteousness exist in one person at the same time?

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not." Mo Hongxue's voice became more and more gentle, "You know, Sinian, that is the fact that everyone has seen with their own eyes, including me."

Who dares to put such a big injustice on Tang Chaoyan? Who dares to frame the "Marshal" of the alliance with such a thing?

Mo Sinian looked up, his eyes firm: "There must be something hidden."

*

In the style of the alliance, the situation will not be exaggerated to the public. The more tense the front line is, the more it will act as if nothing has happened.

Mo Hongxue made a big fuss when he came back, but he was very low-key when he left. Not many people knew that he left the Imperial Star in a hurry the next day.

Among all the places in the alliance, the university campus is the most peaceful.

This is an ivory tower that is heavily protected. It has nothing to do with all the bloody storms. Life and death, flames and artillery fire are all blocked from the students' sight.

They only need to worry about studying, and other problems will be solved for them.

Principal Xie Xu took Shen Minghuan to skip classes openly.

Shen Minghuan stopped attending classes with students of the same grade a long time ago. His progress was too fast and he knew too much. Most of the time, he "studied" by himself.

Teachers usually turned a blind eye.

Principal Xie Xu took Shen Minghuan to his home.

Unlike the Mo family, which is retro and luxurious, Principal Xie Xu's home is decorated with a sense of technology. The overlapping of many hidden doors and tunnels shows a flashy coolness.

The design of the wall and glass is full of metal texture, and the minimalist combination of black, white and gray makes the room look light and transparent.

"I heard that children nowadays like this style. Minghuan, what do you think?" Xie Xu looked expectant.

"Very good." Shen Minghuan was a little puzzled: "Why does the teacher ask that?"

Xie Xu waved his hand generously: "What other children have, my students must have too!"

If Principal Xie didn't love playing Starnet so much, he wouldn't be able to pick up Shen Minghuan in the mecha battle area.

The military exercise had just ended, and Shen Minghuan was at the peak of his popularity, but it happened to be Mo Sinian's birthday. Two teenagers of similar age and equally outstanding will inevitably be compared together.

What Shang Chi can see, Xie Xu can naturally see.

When he took the two children away from the garbage star, he went through the procedures and became their guardian. Principal Xie has a strong desire to win. He thinks that even if he is not as good as Shao Jiafu, at least he can't let his children fall behind others too much.

In order to design this house, he spent several days compiling a questionnaire and obtained rich data and theoretical support, which was more serious than when he wrote the speech for the principal.

"In the future, when you are on vacation, you and Shang Chi should not always live in the school. Come back to live at home and choose any empty room."

Xie Xu smiled and stroked his beard, "If there is anything missing, just tell me, and you can also tell 0792, it is a very capable robot."

Shen Minghuan paused. He didn't expect Xie Xu to do this for him.

He and the original owner both lost their homes and had nowhere to go in the vast world. If "Shen Minghuan" had met a "Xie Xu" before returning to the Mo family, even if he was not so rich, he would have a different life and future.

"Thank you... teacher." Shen Minghuan said.

Xie Xu didn't know that Shen Minghuan's address this time was more sincere than before.

At least at this moment, he thought of Shen Changqing.

Receiving the thanks from his beloved apprentice, Xie Xu smiled and said, "Why are you being polite to the teacher? Follow me, there are gifts."

Shen Minghuan followed Xie Xu to the basement.

The basement didn't turn on the lights, but there were dots of light, magnificent and dreamy. The light was dim and faint, but there were a lot of them, enough for people to see this not-so-small room clearly.

The room was full of "stones" of different sizes and colors, and these lights were emitted by one of the stones.

"These are all the most suitable ores for making mechas."

Xie Xu explained: "Mechas are military weapons. Only the Alliance can make them and they are allocated to the legions regularly. But you also know that mechas are expensive and limited in number. They are usually allocated by commanders before battle."

"However, if you are good enough or have made contributions, you can have your own exclusive customized mecha. The Alliance will try its best to meet your wishes while meeting the standards, so that various parameters and operations can be matched to the operator's habits to the greatest extent."

"I know that the officers of the four legions all have their own mechas." Shen Minghuan said.

Xie Xu nodded, "The mechas are made with funds from the alliance, but if you have better materials, you can also give them to the alliance for replacement. For example, the two from the Mo family, Mo Hongxue and Mo Hexuan, their mechas are really...tsk tsk tsk."

"The ferrite ore is almost exhausted. I don't know where the girl from the Shao family found such a big piece to make an S-class mecha for Mo Hongxue."

Xie Xu couldn't help but admire, and then patted Shen Minghuan on the shoulder, saying happily: "But I'm not bad either. These are the most suitable ores for making SS mechas."

"When you graduate and join the legion, stay on the front line for two years, you can find an opportunity to pretend that your mental power level has increased, and then the teacher will give you a perfect mecha!"

In fact, Xie Xu planned to tell Shen Minghuan after four months as a birthday gift, but he couldn't hold it in for less than four months, and couldn't wait to see the moved expression of his good apprentice.

Shen Minghuan's expression was complicated, "Teacher, these are expensive, right?"

He has made money in this world himself, so he has some understanding of prices.

"When I accepted you, I said I would treat you as my heir. Do you think I was joking?"

When Xie Xu smiled, his long white beard made him look kind and gentle. "Don't be so reserved. You can treat everything I have as yours."

"I understand." Shen Minghuan looked at Xie Xu steadily, pursed his lips and smiled softly.

[Xiaojiu, I changed my mind.] Shen Minghuan said to the system.

[Ah?] The system was confused and asked curiously: [Change what? What idea?]

Xinghe was not so prosperous and powerful at the beginning.

When Shen Minghuan was born, there were many tribes in the God Realm, and Xinghe was torn apart, struggling to survive, and almost dissipating the last afterglow.

Xinghe rose under the leadership of Shen Minghuan.

How could he not blame?

But he has experienced two worlds.

Everyone admired him, loved him, and watched him fanatically. They were obsessed with him, willing to go through fire and water for him, and willing to die for him - just like how those people treated him when he was in Xinghe.

Shen Minghuan always chose the most grand ending for himself, mostly because of his bad taste, but he couldn't help but admit that there was more or less a sense of revenge.

But when he used this method as revenge, he actually believed in his heart that those people would be sad because of his departure.

It's quite despicable, Shen Minghuan thought.

He rarely thought about the things in Xinghe recently. He had protected his people very seriously, and he was sure that those people were sincere when they swore allegiance.

But they are all human beings, and human beings will change, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

It's better to forget it.

Shen Minghuan already owed a lot of people, why add another "Xie Xu" to this list?

The system noticed the host's drastic mood swings. It racked its brains for a long time, and suddenly a light bulb went off: [Host, do you not want to die... bah, leave the small world? ]

In theory, this body is dead, and the host must leave this small world after completing the mission.

But if the host really wants to stay, then it... or go to the Heavenly Dao to make a deal?

The system program was stuck for a while. Did it just think of something extraordinary?

The system was horrified. It had nothing to do with the Heavenly Dao. Could it be that it was infected with a virus!

Shen Minghuan said seriously: [You have to die. ]

It should be said that it was quite interesting to hear that everyone cried so loudly after his death.

Shen Minghuan rubbed his hands: [I will try to die gently. ]

This kind of bad taste is really bad. He should restrain himself first and change it in the next world.
