God of Pets

Chapter 52 Chen Xinghe

The news of July 15th Island caused a sensation in China. In a very short period of time, almost everyone knew about this hidden secret place.

Also causing a sensation was the news that there was a secret technique created by the Emperor on the island, and that the secret technique had been obtained by a woman named Wang Lian.

When Chen Guan returned home, the news had already spread everywhere.

When I returned to my own courtyard, I pushed the door open and saw my father Chen Xinghe trimming the extra branches from the potted plants.

"Why did you come back after so many years? What trouble did you encounter?" Chen Xinghe put down the scissors in his hand when he saw Chen Guan, looked at Chen Guan and asked seriously.

Chen Guan sat next to Chen Xinghe, teleported himself to July 15th Island, and told him in detail about what he had encountered.

"So, it was you who spread the news that July 15th Island and Wang Lian obtained the Afang Sutra?" Chen Xinghe said thoughtfully.

"Not really. It was Ji Nanhong who spread the news. And after the fifth peak of Mahakala, I haven't had any contact with Wang Lian again. It was Ji Nanhong who took her and everyone else to find the teleportation array." Chen Guan replied.

"Well done." Chen Xinghe smiled approvingly. "You were right not to stay on July 15th Island. Compared to the resources there, what you've done will save you a lot of unnecessary trouble."

"There are still some troubles now because of Ji Nanhong. I'm afraid that the Ji family will investigate our family. Although I have told Ji Nanhong not to make our relationship public, there is no guarantee that there won't be problems on Ji Nanhong's side." Chen Guan expressed his concerns.

"What you've done will only make Ji Nanhong and her family more suspicious of your origins, purpose, and background." Chen Xinghe smiled and said, "I know what you're worried about. I'm telling you my identity and origins only because you're an adult now. You have the right to know about your family's affairs and the ability to make your own decisions. I'm not trying to make you fearful and cautious, nor am I trying to make these things a psychological burden for you."

"But being cautious isn't a bad thing. You've done well enough." Chen Xinghe put his hand on Chen Guan's shoulder, looked him in the eye, and said seriously, "Don't worry about my identity. Do what you want. You don't need to be afraid of being investigated. I, your father, am not someone you can't see. You just need to be careful about one thing."

"What's the matter?" Chen Guan asked.

"Don't let anyone see the scar on the sole of your left foot. It's the only thing that could possibly expose your identity." Chen Xinghe said seriously.

"Can't it be disposed of?" Chen Guan knew it couldn't be done without asking. He just wanted to know why it couldn't be done.

"The person who injured your left foot used a method that is unique in the world. Even if the injury is treated, it will still be discovered by someone who understands." Chen Xinghe sighed.

"Who hurt my foot? I have no idea. It must have been caused when I was very young, right?" Chen Guan thought for a while and asked.

"You got injured on the second day after you were born. The person who hurt you is dead, and no one else would use that method. It is meaningless. The only people who can recognize this kind of injury are the older generation of the Ten Heavenly Kings family. There are not too many people, but there are quite a few. So no matter what you do, you must ensure that this injury is not seen by others to avoid fatal disaster." Chen Xinghe said.

Chen Guandian nodded, feeling relieved. Since his family was not afraid of being investigated, he no longer had to worry about what the Ji family would find out.

As for the wound on the sole of his foot, most people would not have the chance to see it. He just needed to think of some way to cover it up, and it was unlikely to be discovered.

"Dad, I'm an adult now. I'm going to explore the secret realm in the future. Does our family have any treasures or inheritances to teach me?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

"When I faked my death and escaped, I was completely destitute and had nothing left. As for the inheritance, you can't learn it either." Chen Xinghe shook his head. "Why can't I learn it? Is it because I don't have enough talent?" Chen Guan asked.

"Those who resemble me will die, and those who imitate me will perish. If those things of mine appear on you, although China is big, there will be no place for you. So from childhood to adulthood, I have never taught you anything. You don't need to imitate me, and you can't imitate me. Not making your survival more difficult is all I, your father, can do for you." Chen Xinghe said with a smile.

"I understand." Chen Guan nodded and continued to ask, "Can I join the Heavenly Court Army?"

"Of course, as long as the injury on the sole of your foot is not seen by others, you can do whatever you want." Chen Xinghe gave an affirmative answer.

"I'm thinking, should I rely on Ji Nanhong's connections or pass the exam on my own?" Chen Guan had some concerns in his heart.

If you use Ji Nanhong's relationship to get in, you will inevitably attract attention. Although you will be taken care of, you will also be targeted by many people.

"Of course you should take the exam if you can, but it's not that easy to get into the Heavenly Court Army. Your father also took the exam in the past, hoping to be admitted to the Heavenly Court Army and enter the ancestral court, but unfortunately he failed." Chen Xinghe said with a smile.

Chen Guan's expression was a little complicated when he heard this. Chen Xinghe actually also wanted to join the Tianting Army, and he hadn't passed the exam yet.

But think about it, although Chen Xinghe failed to pass the entrance exam to the Heavenly Court Army, he had entered the Ancestral Court.

Back then, the great devil was the man who broke into the ancestral temple and occupied it.

"Even you didn't pass the exam. It seems it is indeed a bit difficult." Chen Guan nodded thoughtfully, thinking that he still had to use connections. Since Chen Xinghe couldn't pass the exam, he was not sure if he could get in.

Chen Guan rested at home for a day and received a message from Ji Nanhong early the next morning.

The message was very brief, just two words: "Open the door."

Chen Guan was stunned at first, but when he came to his senses, he quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed. He walked out of the house and came to the front door. When he opened the door, he saw Ji Nanhong standing at the door with a smile on her face.

"Why are you here?" Chen Guan saw that Ji Nanhong was surrounded by a lot of things, big and small.

"As the future daughter-in-law of the Chen family, it's reasonable for me to come and see my future parents-in-law, right?" Ji Nanhong carried two gift boxes by herself and said to the person next to her, "Why don't you help carry the things?"

Chen Guan looked at her strangely, and after she urged him, he went to pick up the things.

He didn't expect Ji Nanhong to come, just like he didn't think that he and Ji Nanhong could really be together. At most, he just wanted to take advantage of the power behind Ji Nanhong.

"You must be Uncle Chen, right? My name is Ji Nanhong, and I'm Chen Guan's friend." While Chen Guan was still thinking about how to introduce Ji Nanhong, Ji Nanhong had already smiled and taken the initiative to greet Chen Xinghe, who was fiddling with succulents in the yard.

"Xiao Guan actually has such a beautiful girlfriend. This bad boy is really lucky." Chen Xinghe has long been accustomed to such things. During the years that Chen Guan was in school, many female classmates came to his home. He handled them with ease and made Ji Nanhong very happy with just a few words.
