At that moment, Xiao Yefeng suddenly recalled something at Xiao Ling's prompt. He looked at Master and the Masked Man and said, "After hiding for so long, you finally revealed your true face. If I'm not mistaken, Master, you must be an acquaintance!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Xing and the others had already begun contacting the military and the headquarters of the Metaphysics Society. Clearly, the enemy was still in that base. As long as they could buy some time now, the powerful figures from Huaxia would surround it, ensuring the safety of everyone’s families.
While Xiao Yefeng spoke, Han Duhuo and the others had already started using their wrist devices to reach out to Huaxia. However, all their attempts seemed to vanish into thin air. At that moment, Master laughed heartily and said, "Since we plan to ambush your base, how could we not be prepared? The signals within a hundred miles have been completely blocked; only we can use them! You can rest easy!"
Everyone gritted their teeth and gave up on contacting Huaxia for reinforcements. At this point, Xiao Yefeng glanced at the others and the images on the display before saying, "We admit defeat. Hey! That guy who looks just like me—don't harm him!"
"What do you mean by 'looks just like you'? Do you think I enjoy looking like you? To be honest, I don't like being like you at all; I hate everything you have! Including your wife and children!" The Masked Man's expression turned cold.
Xiao Yefeng could only spread his hands in resignation. "I’m Mr. Xiao! Aren't you going to take off your hood? He looks so much like me; don’t you think you should explain this to my friends? Most importantly, as the person involved, shouldn’t I understand a bit more?"
"How did you guess that I am Mr. Xiao?" As he spoke, Master pulled back his hood and casually tossed his cloak aside. It was indeed Mr. Xiao, whom they had met a few days ago!
At that moment, the Masked Man, Xiao Yefeng, and Master—who was also known as Mr. Xiao with the Intercepting Finger technique—stood before everyone simultaneously. In an instant, everyone was stunned; the one who reacted most strongly was Liu Qing! Having already been bewildered upon seeing the Masked Man, she was now overwhelmed upon seeing Mr. Xiao—who was actually Xiao Sifei's son, Xiao Wenxin—and she couldn't hold back her tears.
Looking at Xiao Wenxin, Liu Qing disregarded Mu Ding beside her and asked, "Tell me, are you not dead?"
At this moment, both Xiao Yefeng and the Masked Man turned their gazes towards Master—Xiao Wenxin. Xiao Wenxin shrugged and said, "Xiao Wen! That bastard has long since died; how could I be him?"
"Aunt Qing, why does he look just like my dad?" Xiao Yefeng asked in confusion.
"Yes! You are not him; he has already died with his wife! You are not him!" Liu Qing exclaimed as she threw herself into her husband Mu Ding's arms. Everyone looked at the three with confusion; clearly, after this conversation, there must be a connection between Xiao Yefeng and these two individuals!
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng thought of an explanation that could tie everything together perfectly. He looked at both of them and said, "He is your son; he is the biological child lost by Grandpa Four Non of the Xiao family! I understand now!"
Clapping echoed from Xiao Wenxin's hands as he said, "That's right! He is my son. I never expected that Xiao Wen's son would look exactly like mine! You know what? From the first time you entered my line of sight, I found it strange; I thought it was my son!"
"This is impossible! Even though my father and you are next of kin, there is no way I could look exactly like him! That defies science!" Xiao Yefeng exclaimed.
"Thanks to your father! That fool truly believes that everything he has done can compensate for the suffering our family has endured for so many years! He thinks that by changing my fate, I would forgive your family?" At this moment, Xiao Wenxin appeared almost deranged, yet his words made Xiao Yefeng gasp. He had heard from his father that in his youth, he had successfully changed someone else's fate. All this time, Xiao Yefeng had been trying to uncover the details of that incident, but he never expected that his father had actually changed his own fate!
"My father changed your fate! So it was you; I understand now! My father gave you half of his fortune and diluted the curse that plagued you! That's why you two look more and more alike, and we can't tell you apart. No wonder when I went to Yin Si last time, I found my fortune so twisted. Clearly, all the Spirits had entered Yin Si, yet part of it remained on Earth!" Xiao Yefeng quickly pieced together the truth.
A person's fortune accompanies them throughout their life. Xiao Wen had diluted Xiao Wenxin's fortune with his own, meaning he had essentially shared half of his destiny with Xiao Wenxin. They were essentially one and the same person, which explained why their children would naturally resemble each other! This also clarified why Liu Qing mistook one for the other and why Mo Fei misidentified them!
"My father helped you change your fate so you could live off his fortune! Why did you harm him and my mother?" Xiao Yefeng finally confronted the murderer of his father, yet the sudden turn of events left him unsure how to hate this person.
"A few scattered favors cannot erase the blood feud of my family's generations of blindness!" Xiao Wenxin pointed at the Masked Man. At that moment, a light flickered in the Masked Man's eyes, and his black pupils vanished, replaced by completely white eyes devoid of life, resembling those of a dead fish. He was indeed blind; however, amidst the pale whiteness, the talismans belonging to the Xiao Family's secret curse became visible—these eyes were a result of the blood curse from the Xiao Family!
Seeing this, Xiao Yefeng finally understood that all of this stemmed from the rivalry between twin brothers long ago. Their ancestor had cursed his brother out of malice and lived with regret for life, while the brother had also walked through life filled with guilt and resentment! Yet this generation's grudges continued into Xiao Wenxin's time. How could a child like Xiao Wenxin know about the family's hatred? Logically speaking, since Xiao Four Non-Grandpa had already repented, why did his son harbor such strong hatred?
Realizing that everything was irreversible, Xiao Yefeng could only shake his head and say, "I cannot resolve matters from our ancestors' past; in fact, this generation's feud has already ended. Your son's descendants will not suffer from blindness. As for him—do you think having eyes or being blind makes a difference to him?"
At this moment, Xiao Wenxin fell silent while the Masked Man spoke up: "What if you could only see clusters of light before you turned ten? How would you feel?"
"I'm not you; I haven't experienced your childhood. But don't you think it's tragic that your father killed my parents and I've been wandering since I was five? Your blindness and my fate are equally miserable!" Xiao Yefeng replied.
"That's also why I didn't kill you during your childhood!" Xiao Wenxin stated.
"Fine! Let's set aside our ancestors' grudges for now. The enmity over my parents' deaths cannot go unpunished; there are unresolved grievances between us as well. Come on! It seems one side must end in death! However, I hope you spare these innocent family members!" Xiao Yefeng said calmly.
His words drew a series of mocking laughs from Xiao Wenxin and his son. Then Xiao Wenxin said, "Son! Your father didn't die at my hands; it was close enough! I don't want you dead—at least not now! Well then, our family reunion ends here. Now let's talk about cooperation!"
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng deflated like a punctured ball, retracting his Yin-Yang Swordsmanship. "Enough! As long as you don't harm these innocent people, I can agree!"
After Xiao Yefeng's words fell, Jiang Xing, Han Duhuo, and the others spoke in unison, "No! Absolutely unacceptable to cooperate with them! Feng! You need to understand what they want!"
"I know! But our families are in their hands!" Xiao Yefeng's eyes were nearly bulging like copper bells, bloodshot and fierce like a beast craving blood!
Seeing Xiao Yefeng's reaction, Xiao Wenxin nodded, acknowledging this sensible junior. Han Duhuo and the others also had their own families; their loved ones appeared on the big screen. They all declared together, "We will not show favoritism! Earth is the priority!"
Jiang Xing looked at Jiang Haixuan, a tear sliding down his cheek. Despite his aged face marked by tears, he showed no hesitation as he continued to urge Xiao Yefeng not to agree. However, at that moment, Xiao Yefeng seemed to hear nothing around him and stated directly, "As long as you don't harm our families, you can propose your conditions!"
"Great! Take them away! Evacuate immediately!" Xiao Wenxin commanded the Masked Man.
The Masked Man directed his ultimate warriors to escort everyone. Just as he was about to leave, he turned back to Xiao Yefeng and said, "I forgot to introduce myself; my name is Xiao Yeshin! One day I will become a true god! And you and I will meet in a true sense before long!"
With that, the scene faded away. Xiao Yefeng stood helplessly on the Recruitment Platform. At that moment, Xiao Wenxin said, "I think you all know that the ten-year agreement is about to arrive. In two years, we will be here again. Bring the final map and the Heart of Civilization! Together we will open the Higher Dimension Passage!"
"No way! We are coming! You must hand over our families! Moreover, when opening the Higher Dimension Passage, we want half of the entry slots!" Xiao Yefeng insisted firmly.
At this moment in Huaxia, everyone except Xiao Yefeng was trying to stop him. Yet they could not hinder him at all because the Heart of Civilization was in Xiao Yefeng's hands, and the map was in his mind; there was no way to obstruct him. At this moment, both Jiang Xing and Han Duhuo looked at Xiao Yefeng with disdain, mockery, even hatred in their eyes. They could not comprehend why Xiao Yefeng would make such a choice!
