I clearly saw with my own eyes that the water-suppressing beast was sent to the museum. If you insist that the water-suppressing beast is fake, can you take me there to see it?

As the guardian of the water-controlling beast, I have a way to determine whether it is real or fake!"

In response to Wu Xie's questions, Xu Yuyi kept shaking his head. This was the only thing he was sure of.

"I heard from my parents that the other four families were never as determined as the Xu family in protecting the water beast. The reason why the Xu family did not contact the other four families was because the declining Xu family had long been excluded by the other families.

Now that the water-controlling beast has run into trouble, I believe that the other four families will try to protect their own water-controlling beasts and will not want to get involved in the Xu family's mess. Maybe they want to take advantage of the Xu family, which has already been completely defeated!"

Although Xu Yuyi was only eighteen years old, he had already experienced the fickleness of human nature too early. He even dared not return to his former home.

His parents were killed, and the enemy was obviously targeting the Water-Suppressing Beast. After losing the Xu family, the family that protected the Water-Suppressing Beast, the Water-Suppressing Beast was unearthed. Xu Yuyi absolutely did not believe that there was no connection between the two.

He couldn't go home because there would definitely be enemies waiting for him there.

I have to say that Xu Yuyi is quite smart despite his young age. It is a good thing that he has never gone back, otherwise, the result waiting for him would be no different from that of his parents.

By then, the Xu family’s lineage would be truly extinct, without even a single descendant.

Among the so-called five major families, only the Xu family sticks to its original aspirations, but no one knows what it has gained by sticking to its original aspirations to the end.

Xu Yuyi didn't even know how he felt when his parents resolutely stood in front of him, pushed the hope of life to him, and kept reminding him to protect the water-controlling beast.

Xu Yuyi is the only one left in the Xu family. He knows nothing and is just a young boy who is forced to grow up.
"I can't make any promises to you now. We'll talk about everything after we get to the museum and see the stone beast with our own eyes." Xu Yuyi thought for a long time before slowly uttering these words, while also putting forward his own request.

"Okay, I promise you. As soon as Commander Gao arrives, we will set off immediately." Wu Xie agreed without hesitation.

There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain. He trusts Xu Yuyi from the bottom of his heart.

Inside the Chengdu Security Zone Command Center.

Gao Yuanda came back to report to Yang Chen.

“Commander Gao, what did you just say? Could you please say it again? Did I hear it correctly?” Yang Chen suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he hear such absurd words from the mouth of a commander.

“Commander Yang, I’m not kidding. Comrade Wu Xie from the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau and Comrade Qingfeng Taoist both believe that the heavy rain in the Xichuan region was caused by the stone beast previously dug out from Tianfu Square. They believe that the stone beast in the museum is fake, and is not the real water-controlling beast unearthed from Tianfu Square. The director of the museum also personally confirmed that after a full range of testing, they determined that the stone beast was a modern sculpture and was definitely not an object from the Warring States Period…” Gao Yuanda knew very well what consequences his words would cause, but he still said it word by word with a serious attitude.

Yang Chen stood up with a bang, and paced around the desk non-stop, looking a little frustrated. He felt that he had made it clear enough, so why was Gao Yuanda so confused at this time?
"Commander Gao, can you take responsibility for everything you said? Make sure that what you said is true and there is not a single falsehood!"

This matter is related to the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau. Yang Chen believes that Gao Yuanda would not dare to lie about such a thing.

"Commander Yang, everything I said is true. You can verify it with the comrades from the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau. They brought back a young man who should have washed up by now. The young man was sneaking around the museum, and perhaps we can get some clues from him..." Gao Yuanda wished he could swear to prove that what he said was true.

“Go and bring them over.” Yang Chen felt his head was in a mess, and he waved at Gao Yuanda, signaling him to quickly find the people from the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau, otherwise he was afraid that he would get angrier and angrier.

Wu Xie and Xu Yuyi had almost finished their conversation. After Gao Yuanda came over to convey that Commander Yang wanted to meet them, Wu Xie took Xu Yuyi and Taoist Qingfeng to the headquarters.

"Commander Yang, good afternoon!" Wu Xie didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose straight away.

“I believe Commander Gao has already reported our current investigation to Commander Yang. This young man is called Xu Yuyi, and he is the guardian of the water beast in Rongcheng Town. The museum director and I have confirmed that the stone beast in the museum is just a modern artifact, not the real water beast buried in that place. The water beast is no longer in its original place, so it caused this rainstorm. The only thing we can do now is to try our best to find the water beast and solve the disaster in front of us…” Wu Xie tried to be concise and spoke very quickly, which made Yang Chen a little confused.

Really, if Wu Xie and the others didn’t hold the identification documents of the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau, and the war zone also confirmed the special status of the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau, Yang Chen would never believe what he said.

"Now, how can we help?" Yang Chen asked dryly. He really felt that his mind was a little confused and he needed time to sort out his thoughts.

"Commander Yang, please let Commander Gao follow us. We are going to the museum. If there is anything we need help with later, we will contact Commander Yang at any time. Please rest assured that we will solve this problem as soon as possible. The Xichuan area can't withstand the continuous heavy rain and rain now!" Wu Xie bowed deeply to Yang Chen to show his attitude.

“Commander Gao, you are responsible for protecting the safety of Comrade Wu Xie and his group. Their personal safety must be the top priority in everything…” Wu Xie had already said this, what else could Yang Chen say?

Finally, he gave instructions to Gao Yuanda.

Lianyun City, inside the Jiumen Fengshui Bureau.

Huang Miao received the message from Taoist Qingfeng.

“I never thought that there are actually five water-suppressing beasts in Dujiangyan, and five families are responsible for guarding them. Now there is only one person left in the Xu family of Rongcheng, and he is a teenager who knows nothing about guarding. How can he take on the important task of guarding the water-suppressing beasts? As for the other families, there has been no movement since the torrential rain in the Xichuan region. Do they want to wait and see and take the opportunity to gain benefits, or are they already in danger? This time, the burden on Wu Xie and the others’ shoulders is not light!” Huang Miao sat on the sofa, took a sip of tea, and said to Zhang Qilin seriously.

"It may be quite troublesome to deal with the water-suppressing beast. The most urgent task is to find a way to stop the rainstorm first. Since the beast is guarding the water, I think they should have a way." Zhang Qilin frowned, thinking about this in his mind.

Things have their priorities, and choices must be made!

"We really need to find a way. This rainstorm will stop soon. However, the secret behind this may cause a lot of trouble."

"The Xichuan region is going to be in turmoil!"

Even a young boy who is ignorant has certain decision-making power in certain matters. This is exactly what Taoist Qingfeng wants to express.

He even hinted at the need to bring the boy back.

After all, he is a poor child.

"Let us see what kind of strength the family that protects this water-controlling beast has!"

Finally, Huang Miao said with emotion.

Zhang Qilin: …

So, you're just going to ignore it?

"Should we send someone over to help? We can't make things too difficult for a child!"

I don't know if it's because of raising Jiang Xiaochen, but Zhang Qilin is now particularly patient with young children. The Xu family, the guardian of the family, now has only this young man left. If he suddenly encounters a family change, how can this child bear it?
"Master Qingfeng and the others are here. They know how to handle it. Don't worry!"

Huang Miao waved his hand, looking unconcerned.

How can you see the rainbow without going through the wind and rain?
The last person in the Xu family who guards the water beast must eventually grow up on his own! "Zhuge Qing should be here soon, right? If you have nothing to do recently, take care of him. He doesn't know anything!"

Zhang Qilin seemed to want to say something, but Huang Miao interrupted him with just one sentence.

You know, Zhang Qilin can speak so much only in front of Huang Miao. In front of others, he is still the aloof deputy director.

"No, what can I teach Zhuge Qing?"

Although Zhang Qilin already knew that Zhuge Qing was a descendant of Wu Hou, he knew nothing about Wu Hou, let alone teaching Zhuge Qing.

He seriously suspected that Huang Miao was joking with him.

"The basic theoretical knowledge is similar to that of other people. By the way, remember to remind Shen Tongyu and Zhuge Qing that they have to take the exam. They can't just get the job easily. They must be serious and rigorous in the exam and can't be perfunctory..."

Huang Miao gave earnest instructions, and it seemed that he had really handed the matter over to Zhang Qilin.

Now it was Zhang Qilin's turn to worry.

"Shen Tongyu, get ready. You and Zhuge Qing will take the exam together. If you can't pass it with full marks, you can only be a non-staff member!"

After walking out of Huang Miao's office, Zhang Qilin spoke in a cold tone to Shen Tongyu who was chatting with Ma Xiaoling in the big office.

A series of question marks popped up in Shen Tongyu's head. How could he get full marks?
"Xiaoling, did you have to get full marks in the previous exams?"

Shen Tongyu couldn't figure it out and wanted to ask, but when he saw Zhang Qilin's cold face, he shifted his gaze away and turned to look at Ma Xiaoling.

"Should...possibly...maybe!"

Under Zhang Qilin's majestic gaze, Ma Xiaoling's tone was a little stiff.

She gave Shen Tongyu a look that told her to fend for herself, then lowered her head to look at her notes. She also had to study.

Shen Tongyu was speechless.

Fortunately, Zhuge Qing was "unlucky" with him.

At this time, Zhuge Qing, who had not yet arrived at the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau, was sitting on the high-speed train. He suddenly shuddered, as if someone was talking about him behind his back.

Chengdu security zone.

Yang Chen finally reminded Gao Yuanda to protect the people from the Jiumen Feng Shui Bureau, and only then did Wu Xie and the others leave.

At the museum, the curator didn't expect that Wu Xie and his group would come back shortly after they left.

Even though Xu Yuyi had taken a shower and changed his clothes, the curator still recognized him at a glance. This boy was the little beggar who had been hanging around the museum and talking nonsense from time to time.

"Comrade Wu, this is what happened. This guy is just a beggar, a liar, and his brain is not very bright. Why are you with him?"

The curator pulled Wu Xie aside and spoke in a low voice, glancing at Xu Yuyi cautiously as he spoke.

"Director, sometimes what you see with your own eyes may not be the truth. I know this in my heart. You should take us to the room where the stone beast is placed first!"

Wu Xie knew that the curator was reminding him with good intentions, so he didn't react too much, but his attitude became a little tougher.

Seeing that Wu Xie had said this, the curator did not say anything more and directly took them to the room.

This time, the curator did not stay with them in the room. Everyone knew that the stone beast was carved with modern technology, so there was no need to do much preparation.

As soon as Xu Yuyi walked into the room, his eyes were fixed on the stone beast in the glass frame.

"I have to get close to the stone beast!"

Xu Yuyi stared at the stone beast carefully for a long time before turning back and speaking to Wu Xie.

Taoist Qingfeng took out a key and opened the glass cover.

The moment Xu Yuyi walked into the glass cover, he took a deep breath and prepared himself mentally before walking in.

This time, he even reached out and gently stroked the stone beast.

Taoist Qingfeng noticed that Xu Yuyi closed his eyes when he touched the stone beast.

When Xu Yuyi walked around the stone beast, his expression changed before he reached out to touch it.

"This is not the stone beast that was unearthed!"

Xu Yuyi pointed at the stone beast with a firm tone, with an undisguised look of panic on his face.

Before, even though Wu Xie said that this stone beast was not the water-suppressing beast, Xu Yuyi refused to believe it and thought that he would be able to confirm whether the water-suppressing beast was real or not when he arrived.

At this moment, Xu Yuyi's heart turned cold.

The water-controlling beast was lost. He had been with it all the way from its unearthing to its transportation to the museum. How could it have become like this?

He didn't want to admit it, but he had to face the reality.

Without the water-controlling beast, what can he, the guardian of the water-controlling beast, do?

All along, Xu Yuyi felt that as long as he could prove his relationship with the water-suppressing beast, the water-suppressing beast could be buried again underground in Tianfu Square, and the natural disaster in the Xichuan region would end.

He never thought that Wu Xie had not lied to him. The real water-controlling beast had disappeared. What should Xichuan District do? What should Rongcheng do? What should he, Xu Yuyi, do?
His mind was in a mess and his eyes became dazed. Xu Yuyi even staggered and leaned on the stone beast.

The belief that had been supporting him was gone, and Xu Yuyi suddenly felt that what else could he do in life? (End of this chapter)
