"They... are your dad’s superiors. With the Gods and Demons’ order, the chances of your dad returning are much higher!"
Su Ran’s mom beca excited, raising her voice considerably, "Little Ran, you did great!"
"Mom, can you tell now? What exactly is dad’s job?"
Su Ran asked again, determined to get to the bottom of it today. The Gods and Demons’ order gave him the confidence; surely mom wouldn’t hide it any longer, right?
"Little Ran, don’t ask about these things. When it’s ti for you to know, I’ll tell you."
"Mom, I’ve already gotten the Gods and Demons’ order, why won’t you tell the truth?"
Su Ran felt deeply disappointed. The good mood from obtaining the Gods and Demons’ order vanished completely, "If you won’t tell , then at least say why Yin Si in the ga isn’t dad?"
"That’s what those superiors told , advising you not to fall for the NPC’s trap, as it would only worsen your dad’s situation."
Su Ran’s mom didn’t notice his expression and continued talking to herself, "With the Gods and Demons’ order, the three of us can be reunited!"
"So it was the superiors who said it, alright, I understand now."
After listening to his mom, Su Ran nodded thoughtfully, "Mom, I need to go complete a task in the ga. I’ll log off later; you guys go ahead and eat without waiting for ."
"Go ahead, business is important. I’ll make a call to share this good news with them."
Su Ran’s mom valued his gaming career highly and imdiately agreed, "I’ll prepare a delicious al for you to celebrate!"
"..."
Watching his mom leave, Su Ran didn’t say much more and re-entered the ga.
Since everyone wouldn’t tell him the truth, he’d find it himself!
Su Ran had a plan in mind and headed directly towards the Heaven and Earth Bank. But before getting far, he encountered Qing Qi and Xue Wuqing.
"Overturning Water, you’re finally back!"
Qing Qi jumped in front of Su Ran, complaining, "You left this ss to us and disappeared for so long; you have no conscience!"
Uh...
Su Ran then realized he’d forgotten about it.
"Just finished dealing with the Ghost Clan’s matter. You guys have worked hard~!"
Su Ran glanced at the elven team gathered around the altar and asked, "Can these elf archers stay in the territory permanently?"
"Wishful thinking. These are the Queen’s guard on loan and have to be returned!"
Xue Wuqing looked around at the surrounding wreckage, "You tidy up here, we can’t help, so we’ll go report back to the Elf Queen first."
"Alright, send my regards to the Elf Queen."
Su Ran temporarily set aside the thought of finding Yin Si and turned towards the old beggar’s residence.
Once assigning the task of rebuilding the territory to Lu Yue, Su Ran headed towards the Heaven and Earth Bank.
The Heaven and Earth Bank couldn’t escape the devastation from the Ghost Clan’s army and was on the brink of collapse, ready to fall at any mont.
Yin Si, the cunning rchant, didn’t despise the dilapidated building, finding a spot just big enough for a coffin to lie in and recover from his injuries.
Su Ran cautiously stepped into the Heaven and Earth Bank and kicked the coffin a few tis.
"Lord Yin Si, I’m here to complete a task~!"
"Crack."
The coffin lid opened, and Yin Si climbed out, his face showing exhaustion. It seed he’d been severely wounded fighting the Ghost Clan’s army.
"Little Skeleton, have you got the Gods and Demons’ order?"
Yin Si’s voice was as hoarse as ever, making Su Ran feel unexpectedly close, relaxing him for no reason.
"Yes, the order is in hand."
Su Ran held the Gods and Demons’ order in his hand, not rushing to complete the task, but watching Yin Si closely to see how he would react.
As expected.
Upon seeing the Gods and Demons’ order, Yin Si’s expression instantly changed, and he excitedly said—
"Child, I am your father."
Damn it!
Su Ran’s face turned a bit unnatural; he wanted to retort, could he change his line in future appearances?
There was nothing wrong with what dad said, but hearing it from Yin Si’s mouth made it hard to accept, as if Yin Si was taking advantage of him, extrely awkward.
"Child, I knew you could do it. After obtaining this Gods and Demons’ order, I can get rid of this damn ga!"
Yin Si pulled Su Ran’s hand, quickly entering the belly of the Sky-reaching Vine, where they were alone, conducting whatever unspeakable dealings there might be.
"Give the Gods and Demons’ order, then help guard the ritual!"
What Yin Si said was unquestionable, looking at Su Ran with excitent, more accurately at the order in his hand.
"Don’t rush."
This ti, Su Ran didn’t blindly trust what Yin Si said. He scrutinized the black-robed skeleton before him, asking softly, "When is my birthday?"
"Uh, I really forgot your birthday."
Yin Si extended his hand towards Su Ran, "Now is not the ti for this; we can’t delay. If the system detects it, it’ll be too late!"
"Dad, you ntioned it in your last letter to . How can you forget now?"
"Is that so? I really forgot, child. This isn’t the ti; give the order, quickly."
"One more question, what is my mom’s na?"
Su Ran remained unmoved, continuing to question him. To be safe, he asked a simple question this ti. Even if one forgets, they couldn’t possibly forget mom’s na, right?
"Child, why are you so stubborn? These questions can wait until I return ho. If you drag this out, there won’t be any hope left!"
Yin Si beca a bit impatient, even his speaking speed increased quite a bit.
"You’re not my dad."
Su Ran stored the Gods and Demons’ order in the Storage Box and said coldly, "Lord Yin Si, I don’t care who you are now. Here’s a piece of advice for you, not everyone can be impersonated."
"You..."
Yin Si’s face showed a trace of anger, but it quickly faded, replaced with a aningful smile. Clapping his hands, he praised, "Truly worthy of being the lord I recognized, you can’t be fooled. Human thoughts are too complex to impersonate, what a pity."
"To tell you the truth, even now, you can’t impersonate Yin Si, just like a clown. It’s awkward for to watch!"
Su Ran’s words were shocking, staring intently into Yin Si’s eyes, "Tell , who exactly are you!?"
"Why don’t you guess."
Yin Si chuckled, "Skeleton Lord, who do you think I might be right now?"
"You..."
Su Ran didn’t expect Yin Si not to deny it, directly admitting to impersonation, which sowhat surprised him. The argunts he prepared had no use, and as for Yin Si’s current identity, he had no clue.
The only NPC in the territory capable of taking over Yin Si was the Evil Demon Sovereign, but there was no need for that. As for other NPCs...
Wait!
Su Ran thought of a frightening possibility: that it could be the Ghost Venerable Ancestor taking over Yin Si!
The Human Emperor has split soul abilities, so it’s possible that the Ghost Venerable Ancestor also has it!
The Ghost Venerable Ancestor’s suppression went too smoothly; there was a hidden trick all along!
The more he thought about it, the scarier it beca!
