"In conclusion, there are no boys because you took away all of Yanyi Village's fortune. So, if you leave, the whole problem would be solved, am I right?" Bai Wu asked with a frown.
'Congratulations to all the players. You have completed the mission and have acquired seven hundred gold coins. In escaping the catacomb, you have also completed a hidden mission and acquired another one thousand gold coins. Due to a mistake in planning that led to complications on your behalf, an additional two hundred gold coins will be awarded. Your bodies will be transported back within five seconds. '
Before Xue Yin managed to answer, everyone's mind went blank immediately. When they woke up again, they were all lying down beside the well. A gloomy Bai Wu dragged Xu Lan into the room and gathered the rest of the group inside.
"Once the system detects that we've completed our mission, it will automatically transport our bodies back. But there were still plenty of problems that were left unresolved within Yanyi Village. That is why I'd like to ask everyone's opinion of this particular matter." Bai Wu massaged Xu Lan's hand and asked.
"Elder, back at the wooden house, Elder mentioned something about a loophole in the system. What was that all about? Could it be that we are able to find a loophole and escape?" Zhang Fei stood up and exclaimed with full of emotion. When facing Bai Wu, he could not help but use honorifics.
"It was simply a guess. Didn't we just get two hundred gold coins as consolation? This place shouldn't have existed to begin with. It shouldn't have any authority to rule over anyone's life!" Bai Wu took a fist to the table, resulting in a loud thud that split the table in half.
Xu Lan watched as Bai Wu grew up slowly and steadily. A spontaneous feeling of pride was present in Xu Lan's heart. Fathers could be good people too; not everyone would be like the elder Xu - where both love and hate could run deep. Not even death could cleanse him of his evilness. It was not as though every single person was like the man who had the guts to have an affair but never had the courage to show himself. Many fathers were like Xu Lan, giving it their all and silently investing themselves in their children until they became adults.
"Oh, one more thing." Bai Wu looked at Xu Lan's proud and knowing smile, then pulled the man before him and said, "Xu Lan, is my lover."
The house erupted in commotion since no one foresaw that Bai Wu would announce his relationship with Xu Lan in such grandiose fashion. Even Xu Lan was shocked, and he subsequently cast an angry look at Bai Wu. With pursed lips, Bai Wu shook his head and pulled Xu Lan to his side.
"Although we call each other father and son, we are not blood-related. He is simply an ordinary person. HOWEVER. Everyone has the right to love and be loved. I'd very much hope that there will be no gossip. I'll get riled up easily if there was any. Do all of you understand?" Bai Wu said in all seriousness.
"We understand." Those who were previously engrossed with Xu Lan and Bai Wu's interactions let out a silent hiss, looked down immediately, and kept mum.
"What? Am I deaf?"
"We understand!" The crowd roared emphatically.
"Hey, that's enough, Bai Wu, " Xu Lan pulled at Bai Wu's clothes and said angrily.
"Hm? Haha, it seems that Papa's not too happy. Alright, we'll put this aside and not talk about this for the time being. Let's get serious now. Does anyone think that the system's malfunction on this occasion could be a loophole?"
"... It'd be nice if we could ask Xue Feng and Xue Yin about the things that happen in this world. It's unwise to make decisions based on these probability issues." Dejected, the businessman shook his head and answered without certainty.
"No, up till now, I still want to treat it as a loophole. I want to crush it because this kind of thing shouldn't have existed in the first place." Bai Wu calmly stated his thoughts, and was valiant enough not to let other people call them into question!
