Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

The older people get, the more embarrassed they are to call their mother in person, let alone calling the wrong person.

Bai Yu walked into the living room and noticed Su Ruoli lying on the ground eating potato chips. When she saw him, she immediately smiled with her eyebrows curved.

"Smiling so happily?"

"Because I remembered something happy." Miss Su raised the corners of her lips.

The "Mom" she called was referring to her mother, but she didn't seem jealous at all. Instead, she acted like a Maine Coon cat whose fur had been stroked.

Qin Xuezao also walked out of the room at this time and said lightly: "I'm calling your mother, but I'm not calling your mother. Don't smile so foolishly."

"Who's crazy about this!" Su Ruoli and Qin Xuezhao met each other's eyes, and sparks flashed in their eyes.

"Okay, stop arguing." Bai Yu raised his hand and pressed softly: "What happened after I fell asleep in the car?"

"Nothing. I left you in the car and brought you back after the party." Qin Xuezhao took a step closer and touched his forehead. "You should be okay, right? No matter how I called you, you wouldn't wake up."

"It's okay, maybe the damage is just a bit too great. The principles of heroic spirits are not so easy to borrow." Bai Yu made up an excuse.

"Don't mess around anymore. Your behavior in challenging Mu Yaoxi today was extremely reckless." Qin Xuezao said seriously, "There's no need to compete with him. Heroic spirits are not human."

Bai Yu was about to answer when she was separated by a white tender hand.

"If you want to talk, just talk. Don't touch me. And—why am I not a human?" Su Ruoli puffed out his chest. "I'm more real than a real person. I'm not like some sleeping beauty who never grows up."

"When you are sixty years old, you will see who envies whom." Qin Xuezhao didn't care at all.

Caught between the two, Bai Yu suddenly felt under tremendous pressure.

Once these two proud daughters of heaven start to compete with each other, the next step may be a peak confrontation, and the next step will not be far from Bai Yu being attacked from both sides.

I really hope they can find something else to do.

At this time, Shang Ming'e called out: "Children, it's time to eat."

It solved Bai Yu’s urgent problem.

When they sat down at the table, the three children became quiet.

Su Ruoli asked, "Where's Dad?"

"He's still busy with research. He says he's almost succeeded in restoring some material he got from the Shadow World." Shang Ming'e said, "If he gets caught up in something like this, he won't be back for half a month. Don't worry... But he found time to send me a text message to congratulate you two on passing the martial arts exam."

Mother Su said happily and gratifiedly, picking up a large piece of braised pork and placing it in Bai Yu's bowl: "You are indeed my good son, you have directly passed the exam and become the top martial arts student in Nanling City!"

She held her cheek and said softly, "I think your mother was also so outstanding back then."

Bai Yu took a bite of the braised pork and asked, "Can you tell me about my family now?"

Shang Ming'e was silent for a moment. She put down her chopsticks, a trace of guilt on her face. "It was wrong of me to keep it a secret from you for so many years... But your mother and I really love you and will take good care of you... So, we agreed long ago that if you don't have talent, you can stay at home and we can support you for the rest of your life. Even when Su Haoran and I grow old, we'll still be close, so it's always okay for the two of us to take care of you."

Su Ruoli said in surprise: "So we are being raised as nannies?"

Shang Ming'e glanced at Su Ruoli and scolded her angrily, "If you hadn't been so wild, we would have agreed to the marriage long ago. It's a pity that Ruoji is your elder sister, seven years older, otherwise she would be a better match than you."

Su Ruoli was a little unconvinced: "I, I am also very gentle, now..."

"Who knew you could suddenly do a 180-degree turn?" Shang Ming'e held her forehead with her hand and immediately shook her head. "Forget it, I won't talk about you. It makes my heart ache when I mention you... Let's talk about my beloved little Yujing."

Qin Xuezao asked Su Ruoli through voice transmission, "Are you my biological child?"

Su Ruoli gritted her teeth and replied, "Of course... Even the boy she likes is the same type as me, how could he not be her biological child?"

Shang Ming'e's love for Bai Yu is undoubtedly maternal, but she tends more towards her son.

In fact, when the children were born, they took turns raising them with their best friend... Because the first one was a daughter, they wanted a son for the second one, so that they could have both a son and a daughter. But the second child turned out to be a little princess, so Shang Ming'e had to take care of two children. When the two babies were feeding, they were on the left and the right. Even so, the well-behaved Bai Yu was often kicked by Su Ruoli, who was hyperactive since infancy.

You can't blame her for being partial. Su Ruoli was not cute at all when he was a child. He was a little devil who bullied the children around him all day long. Only Bai Yu was the most well-behaved and didn't cry or make a fuss. Of course, adults liked this type of child better.

"You don't know much about your mother because she died before you were ten... Many traces left from that time have been erased." Shang Ming'e said distressedly, "You probably don't even know your mother's name."

Bai Yu shook his head. He didn't have the full name in his memory. He only remembered one word: "Yi."

"Well, your mother's name is Yao... Her last name is Bei Ming."

"Bei Ming Yao..." Bai Yu whispered. Just by reading this name, he could feel an inexplicable emotion.

"Beiming is one of the aristocratic families of Daxia, and your mother is the daughter of an aristocratic family." Shang Ming'e paused, "And she is a direct descendant."

Su Ruoli asked, "So at this time, Mu Tou's grandparents are still alive?"

"I don't know." Shang Ming'e said unhappily, "But the Beiming family isn't a good thing. To maintain their status, it's common for aristocratic families to exploit the value of their members. Ah Yao was already engaged, married to the Bai family, and gave birth to Yu Jing in secret... Yu Jing's identity is actually not recognized by the Beiming family."

"This is a very embarrassing thing for the aristocratic family, right?"

"Of course they did, so they did a lot of things to trip us up initially." Shang Ming'e slammed the table in anger, "Many of their tactics were downright vicious."

"Unfortunately, my mother's family is only third-rate in the capital, so they can't be of much help... The greatest help I can offer is to follow your father to Nanling, away from the capital."

"Ayao was already pregnant at that time, so she stayed in Nanling City to take care of the baby, but..."

She paused at this point.

"But what?" Bai Yu said calmly, "No matter what it is, I can bear it."

"Alas..." Shang Ming'e smiled bitterly, "But your mother was poisoned. The Bei Ming family tried to strangle you and even poisoned your mother. It was during this process that your mother sustained a hidden injury. At the same time... your innate bloodline magical power was also abolished."

She bit her lower lip and held the boy's hand with a little force, but was afraid that if she held too tightly it would hurt him and she would loosen her grip a little. Her eyes were full of struggling sadness.

"Originally, your talent should have been the greatest gift your father and mother left you. You could have possessed an even more outstanding talent, but the Beiming family found ways to abolish it... Perhaps they couldn't tolerate the Beiming family's bloodline magical powers being lost to others."

Qin Xuezao's face turned pale upon hearing this, and he angrily said, "This is absolutely insane! How dare they murder a fetus in the womb!"

Bai Yu suddenly realized: "So, I have a white talent... because I was born with a defect."

"We've always been worried, afraid you wouldn't be able to accept the truth when you grow up. You were well-behaved when you were little, even a little dull. We're really worried that this incident has damaged your innate qualities."

"Honestly, we're actually very scared of you growing up. Your mother has told me this more than once. She's afraid that when you grow up you'll ask her why you're such a loser."

"She doesn't know how to answer you, and I don't know either. I don't dare tell you the truth. The more I say, the more it will hurt you."

When Shang Ming'e said this, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of pleasure, as if the pain she had endured for many years had been vented and a thorn in her heart had been pulled out.

"But……"

"They would never have thought that even without those things, you would still be so outstanding!"

"You've reached this point through your own hard work, not relying on innate bloodline or family resources. You've only relied on yourself."

"Even if you don't have the blood of the Beiming family, you are still a genius. You can win over the innate heroic spirit, defeat the top disciples of the Martial Saint Pavilion, and go to Penglai Academy!"

"Yujing, you are our pride."

As the woman spoke, tears streaming down her face, "From today on, we can finally... stop living in fear."

Chapter 227: The Ten Strongest and Ten Evilsts

Looking at the woman in front of him who was already in tears.

Bai Yu finally realized the source of the incongruity.

Why did I always feel like something was wrong before... Because the people around me treated me too well.

Although the young Bai Yu lives in this happy and warm environment, he still works hard all the time.

Perhaps he himself sensed something, noticed something, and realized something.

As a descendant, it is natural to be taken care of by relatives, but even if Shang Ming'e and Su Haoran treat me as their own child, it is a bit too good.

She is not my mother, why can she be so good to me?

It's not just because I've breastfed before and I like it, but also because of... guilt.

Everyone around me feels that they owe me something.

Before he was born, it was believed that bringing a lot of suffering to this child was destined to be an irreparable mistake in his lifetime.

That's why we have to try every possible way to make up for it.

Bai Yu really wanted to ask at this moment, if he was really a loser, then was it also planned by you elders to match him with Su Ruoli since childhood?

It’s hard to say... If there hadn’t been an accident with Class 1 of Grade 3, if there hadn’t been any fanatical followers of the Otherworldly God causing trouble, and if I hadn’t encountered a traffic accident and traveled through time.

Perhaps Bai Yu will be trapped in this Nanling City for the rest of his life, locking himself and Su Ruoli up.

It was probably this feeling that made the young man feel depressed and had nowhere to express himself, so he could only keep working harder.

However, the idea that hard work pays off is a false proposition.

Bai Yu didn't think he had made any effort.

He relies on cheats and super powers.

But my relatives don’t know…so what even if they knew?

Does using cheats count as hard work?

I have something to say about this Deep Blue Point Adder!

Forget it, I’m a time traveler anyway... It’s not shameful to rely on cheats.

Moreover, without this modifier, even if it was me, the best I could do in the future would be to become a wealthy man or a top scientific research talent, and it would still be difficult to shake up the aristocratic family.

Bai Yu held Shang Ming'e's hand and smiled: "Then it's time to let the Bei Ming family see my ability... If I had known earlier, I might have gone to Kyoto to take the college entrance examination and try to become a dragon."

Hearing these somewhat boastful words, Su's mother burst into laughter and said, "I am very satisfied that you have come this far... People say that they hope their children will become successful, but I still hope that you will be safe and sound."

She said bitterly, "I, Shang Ming'e, have known your mother since childhood and have been her good friend for thirty years, but I could only watch her fall into trouble and could do nothing to help her."

"So I absolutely do not want the same mistakes that happened to our previous generation to be repeated in your generation."

"Fortunately, God has blessed me, and my children are all excellent."

"Ruoli is of the innate heroic spirit bloodline. I can rest assured knowing she is by your side."

"You all are my pride."

Su Ruoli's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she immediately hugged her mother.

Qin Xuezao drank a sip of water silently... This scene made me seem out of place. Did I come at the wrong time?

"Okay, okay, sit back down." Shang Ming'e let go of her hand and tugged at her daughter's ear: "Hold her here, how can I hold little Yujing?"

"mom!"

"Don't act like a spoiled child. You're almost an adult, you need to be more reserved."

"This is the first time I've heard that you treat your daughter as a tool."

"I didn't say that." Shang Ming'e knocked her daughter's head. "Women are weak by nature, but they are strong as mothers... I lost Ruoji before, so I can't lose you again no matter what."

Su Ruoli sat back obediently.

Bai Yu calmed down and continued, "My mother is the daughter of the Beiming family, so what about my father?"

He asked curiously, "Could it be that the Bai family was also a prominent family?"

"Of course not." Shang Ming'e was not surprised why Bai Yu asked this. She replied, "The Bai family is not a noble family. If you insist, you can't beat an ordinary family. It's a single-line family. By your generation, there are only three people in total... So the Beiming family will never agree to let A Yao marry."

Bai Yu thought that his father was really capable and could actually abduct the daughter of the Beiming family.

"Then my father is..."

"What a loser." Shang Ming'e answered immediately, with a look of disdain on her face.

"Ok?"

"He's just a good-looking, talented, and highly skilled loser. I've fallen in love with him since I first saw him. He's like a dog-skin plaster that can't be taken off once it's stuck on." Shang Ming'e pounded the table with her fist: "If I had known that Ayao would suffer so much because of him, I should have kicked his bag of inheritance to pieces!"

Bai Yu: "..."

They are father and son, so why is there such a big difference in their treatment?

It was the first time he saw Su's mother make such a vicious comment about a man.

Su Ruoli whispered to Bai Yu: "I suspect that Mom has some special feelings for Aunt Bei Ming, but I have no evidence."

"I heard it!" Shang Ming'e glared at her daughter. "I'm not that kind of person. If I were, where would you come from? I just... feel it's not worth it for Ayao."

She gritted her teeth and said, "I knew they were in love, and I knew Bai Xinghe had the potential to become a Martial Saint in the future, and I hoped they would be happy, but what happened?"

"As a husband, he should have protected his wife. Since he failed to do so, don't blame me for turning my back on him and not treating him well!"

Very angry.

"What about Bai Xinghe?" Bai Yu cooperated and called him by his name. He couldn't defend his biological father at this time, otherwise it would only make Shang Ming'e even more angry.
