but...

"What on earth have you been through to develop this personality?"

Quite suddenly, the Wu clan woman with clean short black hair directly repeated her thoughts.

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Wu Wei was obviously a little surprised.

Seeing him like this, Wu Fengshui raised the corner of his mouth and explained with a smile.

"Sorry, I was just lost in thought."

"Because I've seen so many different sides of you in just one day, I'm a little curious."

Although he was apologizing, Wu Fengshui actually looked very relaxed.

During the conversation with Wu Wei just now, she was actually slowly adjusting her state.

The confusion and distraction caused by the huge fear were finally calmed down at this moment.

"That's nothing. If you care, I can tell you directly."

Wu Wei spoke quite casually.

"Most men, sooner or later, have had the same dream."

While Wu Fengshui was listening attentively, Wu Wei suddenly changed his tone, as if he was not explaining, but performing some kind of...performance!

"That means becoming the strongest!"

"It's just that, whether due to life, family, or even more extreme circumstances, they will eventually bow to reality and even classify their past dreams as childish and shameful."

"Not only do I not dare to bring it up myself, but when I see others saying it, I immediately laugh at them."

"This will cause those who later have such dreams to encounter more setbacks, more cold stares, and more ridicule. After they give up, the next group of men with dreams will face an even worse situation."

"In short, it's getting harder and harder to stick to this dream."

Having said this, Wu Wei's tone returned to normal.

“But I didn’t give up.”

He said this very simply.

None of it was when he first crossed over. Because he could see the system loading bar, his middle school dreams were protected until he was in his twenties. Even though others didn't understand, he never thought of giving up - the heaviness brought by this experience.

None of them was the confusion brought about by the experience when he first came here and kept paralyzing himself because of the system's situation disclosure, and even forgot what he wanted in the first place.

There was even less of the time when he arrived in the Baki world, when, because of gritting his teeth and persevering, he experienced strength for the first time, and experienced joy from the heart for the first time. The heaviness of the past was completely released, and the confusion of the past was also dispelled by the bright future - the determination and enthusiasm brought about by this experience.

So is the one who is held down by a heavy weight, like someone carrying a huge rock.

So would the beast that had tasted sweetness and was completely set free.

And now he has put down the huge rock and stood up again.

They are all Wu Wei.

so...

"For someone like me who's obsessed with becoming the strongest, it's normal that I seem a little weird compared to normal people."

I don't boast about the nobility of sticking to my dreams, nor do I mock those who can't stick to their dreams.

Only at this moment did Wu Fengshui understand why Wu Wei initially used a performative tone when he mentioned these things.

because...

Not only did he not find it difficult to talk about these things, he even treated them as a good story like an actor, and presented them perfectly to her as the audience!

He regards things that may attract strange looks as his most proud treasure!

After realizing all this, Wu Fengshui was stunned for a moment before speaking to Wu Wei.

"Although I've had this feeling more than once today, but as expected... you're too strong!"

"After all, I want to be the strongest."

Wu Wei still continued Wu Fengshui's words very naturally.

Then he and Wu Fengshui also walked to the end of the contestant passage and the entrance to the underground parking lot.

"Okay, I have someone waiting for me here, so see you the day after tomorrow."

"it is good..."

Because Wu Wei spoke so naturally, Wu Fengshui responded subconsciously.

But when she saw Wu Wei turn around and walk out, she suddenly reacted.

"Wait! Wu Wei, didn't you say before that you also wanted to get involved in the affairs of the Shigong family? Do you need me to help you talk to the clan?"

After hearing what Wu Fengshui said, Wu Wei stopped.

"No need, after all, this kind of thing doesn't necessarily require an invitation or something to enter."

"I don't like things that are too troublesome, so I will find an opportunity to join in in a way that makes me enjoy it the most~"

Wu Wei said this, then looked at Wu Fengshui and added another sentence.

"Go back and tell your tribe about this matter, and tell them about my situation as well."

"In exchange—"

"If you still appear in front of me under such circumstances, I will look forward to it and treat you well~"

Having said this, Wu Wei waved his hand and really left this time.

Wu Fengshui watched Wu Wei leave and couldn't help but sigh.

"He knew I'd be conflicted, so he spoke up in advance to put an end to all the hesitation I might have."

"This guy... although he doesn't seem to care much about anything other than fighting, he seems to be a surprisingly good man."

During this conversation, Wu Fengshui's remaining disappointment was dispelled by Wu Wei's last words.

So she put on a smile.

So before she picked up the phone, she started thinking about how to report the matter.

She didn't want to see anyone in her tribe die, nor did she want Wu Wei to be disappointed that he didn't meet an opponent.

finally...

After she dialed the clan number and asked the person who answered the phone to pass the phone to the head of the Wu clan, Wu Huiliyang.

That's what she said.

"The target, Katahara Meika, has already returned under the care of the other teams. I will head to the Shinomiya family to find you as planned and meet with my employer from the Wu family, who hasn't appeared in a month."

"But now, I have an unexpected discovery."

"I found a lone Wu. He's incredibly strong, even stronger than my brother and even stronger than the Demon Wu Lei'an!"

......

14. Shinomiya is not the protagonist of this matter

"That's it, I understand."

Wu Wei looked at Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai in front of him and nodded repeatedly.

"I understand your intentions, but before I give you an answer, I'm curious about something."

"So, since you said you have no interest in becoming the head of the Shinomiya family, why do you have to get involved in this fight?"

"Since you have the opportunity to come out and ask for help, it would be easier to find someone to protect you than to find someone to fight with you."

"After all, even if you don't fight for the position of family head, your status alone will probably be enough to keep you as a family and wait for you to make a difference in the future."

Shinomiya Kaguya raised her head and looked at Wu Wei with her cloudy red eyes.

"I do not deny."

"But the situation here is actually more complicated than I expected."

"But since I need your help, I will tell you the relevant matters out of courtesy and reason."

Kaguya sighed softly. Now that she seemed a little fragile, she looked more like a living person than an exquisite doll.

"The battle for the Shinomiya family didn't just begin, but has been going on for a while."

"In the beginning, I really didn't have any intention of competing with my two brothers. Just like my second brother depended on my eldest brother, I depended on my third brother, Sigong Yunying."

"At that time, I couldn't even leave the 'birdcage' that Third Brother had prepared for me, let alone ask for help."

"But at that time, I was able to treat this matter more calmly."

"Because I don't need to think or worry. All I can do is wait for the results."

"But just when I thought things would continue like this until the two brothers decided the winner, an accident happened."

As Kaguya continued her narration, not only Wu Wei was listening silently, but even Eriri, who had been paying attention to this matter, was attracted by the incident itself.

"One night a month ago, the eldest brother and the third brother met."

"This is perfectly normal, because the more competitive a situation is, the more you should express yourself and show composure."

"But the third brother never came back after he left."

"Although the camp supporting Third Brother is still receiving orders as usual, I, who have always been by his side, have clearly sensed something is amiss."

"Logically, Third Brother would have contacted me regularly about the 'birdcage' he meticulously designed for me, a hiding place few knew of."

"Sometimes he even avoids things when he encounters them himself."

“But regular contact stopped.”

"And Hayasaka...my personal maid, used to have regular contact with my third brother, but that has also stopped."

"After that, I asked Hayasaka to do a lot of research, and the countless results all told me one thing."

"That means something happened to the third brother."

"I don't know whether the third brother was imprisoned by the eldest brother or was killed directly, but in any case, I am free, and my umbrella of protection has disappeared."

After hearing what Kaguya said, Wu Wei also understood her thoughts.

"So you plan to save yourself?"

"Correct."

Kaguya admitted.

"If I stay in the 'birdcage' forever with no chance, then I will just wait, and I can only wait."

"But now I still have room to save myself, so I will do it."

"And I must say that this period of time may be the last chance, because today I found that many people on the Third Brother's side received instructions to gather together, and the Third Brother, who hasn't appeared for a month, also said that he would show up today."

"If something really happens to Third Brother, then even if it's today or tomorrow, there won't be any problems. But if you choose to help me, then the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...anyway, something should happen soon."

The black-haired girl's calm tone made what she said seem more profound.

At least when Eriri put herself in their shoes, she felt suffocated.

As a result, her previous unhappiness towards Kaguya was dispelled, and she even began to sympathize with Kaguya.

Wu Wei, who did not have any unpleasantness with Kaguya and was even willing to listen to her narration of these things...he smiled!

And it's not the kind that makes the corners of the mouth raise.

Instead, he laughed out loud without trying to hide his voice!

It was as if what Kaguya had just narrated was not some dark story of a big family, but the funniest joke in the world!
