Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

The next day, Xie Dan's mental state improved significantly, and she even struggled to get up and do rehabilitation exercises with Kunji.

Xu Tianyou's injuries seem to have improved significantly. He no longer lies on the bamboo bed all day, but gets up and walks around, wiggling his hips.

"Hey, I've figured it out, you're really good at conning people! Xie Dan was completely fooled by you. Luckily, I know you pretty well, otherwise I would have thought you were going to turn over a new leaf!"

An Xiaohai still chose to fish to pass the time. Xu Tianyou had Yeren and Hongpao carry him to An Xiaohai's side. Since he arrived, he hadn't stopped talking.

"Isn't it good to repent and reform?"

"There's no good or bad, as long as you're happy. I'll support you no matter what you want to do."

Is that really the case?

"Has it really come to this?"

The two fell silent, and after what seemed like an eternity, An Xiaohai spoke again: "I... I've actually been imitating him, imitating his behavior, and trying my best to hide myself in the shadows."

The reason he is so powerful is largely because he hides himself very well; no one knows who he is, where he is, or what he will do next.

That's why he appears so incredibly powerful.

So I learned from him and hid myself. I carefully tried to figure out his thoughts and what kind of person he wanted me to become. I tried my best to follow the path he had designed in order to reduce his attention and lower his guard.

At the same time, I am constantly accumulating strength and resources, continuously improving myself.

"You're so powerful now that you can't hide it anymore, are you?" Xu Tianyou smiled as he looked at An Xiaohai.

"Yes," An Xiaohai nodded.

"If I'm not mistaken, you could have stayed hidden much longer if you hadn't done all this."

"Yes, if I didn't do those two things, I could indeed hide for longer; but some things have to be done! I don't want to have any regrets in my life."

"Tch, you talk like you've lived several lifetimes!"

"Do you still remember what you promised me?" An Xiaohai also looked at Xu Tianyou.

"What is it? What did I promise you?"

"Promise me that if one day I ask you to give up everything and do as I say, you will agree."

"I remember that, but has this day come so soon?"

"Yes, I'm here," An Xiaohai nodded. "Now, fulfill your promise."

"Tch, I regret it. Why did I listen to you?"

"Because I'm your brother!" An Xiaohai glared at Xu Tianyou: "Stop pretending, you already knew, didn't you? You even deliberately said your birthday is March 5th on the lunar calendar."

March 5th, 1974 (lunar calendar), which is February 18th (Gregorian calendar), means you and I were born on the same day, month, and year, and I'm your older brother!

"Don't be so absolute. Maybe I'm the older brother."

"Shut up!"

"Oh, can I ask you one more question?"

"Go ahead and ask."

"Have you figured out what's going on? Our mother..."

"Stop! Don't ask any more questions!" An Xiaohai said coldly to Xu Tianyou, "I'll just ask you one question: Is your mother, Lan Caiwei, a good mother?"

"Of course, she is the best mother in the world!" Xu Tianyou said, bowing his head without the slightest hesitation.

"That's enough! Don't worry about these things. Just remember one thing: your mother is Lan Caiwei, and my mother is Chen Shuifen. They are the best mothers in the world."

They all did their best and gave us the best life they could!

That's enough. Nothing else matters. Do you understand what I mean?

Xu Tianyou didn't speak, but nodded vigorously.

"That's the end of this question. Don't ask it again."

"Okay, what do you need me to do?"

"I need you to disappear completely, to make him think you died in this battle. Next, you must take my mother, my maternal grandparents, and Xuan'er and her mother away between 8:00 PM and 10:00 PM on February 1st."

I don't care what methods you use, whether it's deception or kidnapping, just get them away, preferably abroad, then hide them, protect them closely, and don't let anyone know where they are, including me.

"That way, you can fight him to the death without restraint, right?"

"Yes."

"An Xiaohai will disappear too, won't he?"

"Yes, An Xiaohai will disappear a little later, but he will definitely disappear."

"Why does it have to be this way?"

"Because only by hiding ourselves again can we have a chance to defeat him and fight him with fire."

"That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is, why am I the one leading them away? Why do I have to stay by their side? I actually have a way to hide them and then come back to help you."

"There are two reasons. First, you can't put all your eggs in one basket, otherwise someone can easily take them all at once. If we're together, he could easily take us all at once, and the margin for error is too low."

If we break up, and I fail, you'll still have a chance;

The second reason is that two fists attacking at the same time hurt more; two fists attacking from different directions at the same time are more difficult to defend against.

Another reason is that my relatives are all ordinary people, and I don't feel at ease without you by their side to watch over them.

Don't think you'll have it easy; it's likely going to be much harder and more dangerous for you than for me.

"Shall we switch?"

"No, this decision is not made on impulse, but based on our characteristics and actual situation."

In China, you are not as powerful as I am, but abroad, whether it's survival experience or dealing with all sorts of people, I am far inferior to you.

If we switched places, we wouldn't be able to unleash our full potential.

"Don't always make such a reasonable point, it's making it impossible for me to refute you."

"Since I'm right, why are you arguing with me?"

"Then... what about Savage and Red Cannon?"

"Can these two people be completely trusted? I mean, when you meet them and get together with them, can you be sure it's not a setup?"

"This..." Xu Tianyou bit his lip and thought for a while: "I can confirm it!"

I can't be sure about the others, but the Savage and Red Cannon definitely weren't part of a deliberate arrangement. My joining them was purely accidental, I'm certain of that!

"That's good. If that's the case, then you should keep Hongpao with you, and Kunji should follow you too. You always need someone to help you. As for Yeren, let him come with me. I'll fulfill the promise you made to help their mountain stronghold."

"That's fine, but I need to think about how to tell them."

"Okay, take your time thinking about it. We still have a few days."

"Is there only a few days left? When will we see each other again after this separation?"

"Don't worry, we'll see each other after the victory."

"You're starting to talk like them more and more!" Xu Tianyou rolled his eyes and looked up at the sky. "Xiao Hai, do you think we still have any brothers who are lost outside?"

"I think... there are still some, but I don't plan to look for them anymore. Let fate decide. If we can be together in the future, that would be great. If not, then they won't know any of this. It would be good if they could live a peaceful and ordinary life."

"That's true. If I had a choice, I would rather know nothing, stay with my mother, and quietly be an ordinary person."

"Yes, I would prefer that too."

But we still have a chance. As long as we completely eliminate that demon lurking in the shadows, we can happily live as ordinary people again.

"Are you going to be an ordinary person? I thought you were going to be like them."

"I'm not as noble as them, so I won't join their ranks and become a black sheep."

I just want to be myself, live my life according to my own wishes, and cherish this precious time. As for anything else, I'll stop thinking about it for now.

"Fine, whatever makes you happy. What bad luck! I finally became the boss, and now I'm being bossed around by you."

"I'm your brother!"

"Fine, I'll shut up!" Xu Tianyou rolled his eyes. "By the way, you can ask Yeren about everything related to Haifoye. I know about the same thing he knows about this organization."

As for the other information I have, I've already organized it and buried it under my room in the savage village. Remember to dig it up when you have time.

"Okay, I'm telling you everything I have now, and you must remember it well."

"Is it a lot?"

"a lot of."

"Then I need to get a notebook to write this down, because my memory isn't very good."

"You can't write it down in a notebook; you can only keep everything I say in your heart."

"Then you'll have to say it a few more times!"

"I'll keep talking until you remember it all, so stick your head out."

"What are you trying to do? Are you trying to steal my first kiss?"

"Shut up! Hurry up and stick your head out."

Xu Tianyou had no choice but to stick his head out, and An Xiaohai took off Xu Tianyou's Buddha-face necklace and hung it around his own neck.
