CHAPTER 1356: CHAPTER 1356: A TROUBLESOME HERITAGE

Speaking of which, no matter in which instance, the thing you hate the most is someone impersonating your relatives.

In the Map of Kingdom, it was because your parents also went in, and you could feel the presence of the other party through their words and actions, so the whole family was harmonious, but this game world is not like that.

The mastermind behind this game world is too despicable, which is exactly what you loathe.

"You..."

Zhao’er remained as composed as ever, standing quietly beside you without saying a word.

At this time, Li Qimeng shifted her attention to Zhao’er. She had just been focused on you and ignored Zhao’er, mistaking her for Pang Qin, without realizing Zhao’er was a beauty not inferior to her.

"This young lady looks familiar, have we met before?" Li Qimeng deliberately said this while extending her hand to Zhao’er with polite language, "Hello, I am Li Qimeng."

"Hello, it’s nice to meet you, my name is Zhao’er."

Zhao’er replied with a calm smile. At that moment, Li Qimeng was like a resplendent peony in a garden, noble and dignified; Zhao’er, on the other hand, was like a quietly blooming lily amidst the green hills and clear waters, subtly fragrant, yet capable of evoking a sense of tranquility and delight.

At this point, you let go of Zhao’er’s hand and moved forward, your gaze locked on a handsome man in a wheelchair. Naturally, you recognized him, as did everyone on Zhonghua Star; he is President of the Government of Zhonghua Star, Li Guangyao: "Mr. President, please forgive my rudeness, but I still wish to understand your intentions?"

"Zixu, forgive me for not informing you in advance about the truth." Li Guangyao smiled at you and said, "We are waiting for someone."

"Who?" you asked directly.

You couldn’t even be bothered to ask about that crappy name "Zixu," it really sounds awkward and unpleasant!

"You’ll know in a moment; for now, please have a seat." When Li Guangyao looked at you, his eyes were full of appreciation.

You wanted to say something but thought better of it, and sat down with Zhao’er.

Li Qimeng’s gaze towards you had changed significantly. When she looked at you, her eyes were a mix of complicated emotions, and towards Zhao’er, there was a hint of slight jealousy but more of gladness.

At that moment, she looked at you with the gaze of an elder sister towards a younger brother, while to Zhao’er, the more she looked, the more she liked, silently wishing the best for you and Zhao’er.

Then a maid entered through a side door, approached Li Qimeng, and whispered a few words. Li Qimeng nodded and gave the maid a few instructions. Just as the maid left, a hearty voice echoed through the room, "Everyone is here, I see."

An elderly man with white hair leisurely walked in. He had a youthful appearance despite his age, with a rosy complexion. As soon as he appeared, Li Qimeng immediately approached, calling out crisply, "Grandfather."

Grandfather?

You and Zhao’er exchanged glances, communicating through eye contact.

"Is Little Yi happy today because your brother is back?"

The old man’s voice was broad and deep, causing a subtle tremor in your ear. As you stared intently at him, you noticed a peculiar aura surrounding him, with each movement slightly stirring the air to create an almost imperceptible breeze.

The old man turned his gaze towards you and Zhao’er, smiling, "Zixu has been doing quite well lately."

You and Zhao’er stood up and greeted the old man, saying, "Uncle, what exactly did you call us here for today?"

The old man smiled slightly, giving Zhao’er a glance, and said, "Of course, to discuss your marriage with her."

As the old man spoke these words, you didn’t feel the slightest bit of embarrassment; instead, you only furrowed your brows.

The old man came before you, grasped your right hand, and upon seeing a crescent-shaped scar on your arm, his expression of affection became even stronger. He then turned to Li Guangyao and nodded towards him.

Li Guangyao cleared his throat softly and said, "Mu Yun, today we called you here primarily to let you know some things."

You nodded, "Please go ahead."

Li Guangyao lightly coughed and said, "First of all, it’s about your identity."

"My identity?" You were taken aback, secretly wondering, "Could it be they already know I was created by the game?"

"Let me start by telling you a story," Li Guangyao smiled and said, "Twenty years ago, a young woman named Li Fuyun had just graduated from university. Due to the severe difficulty in finding a job at the time, she returned to her hometown, Zhonghua Star, with her college boyfriend. However, her family turned her away because she was already pregnant with that man’s child. Li Fuyun and her boyfriend Li Zhong were forced to leave Zhonghua Star and wandered around. Six months later, she gave birth to a girl in a small house by a lake on Tianmeng Star. The starry sky was splendid, and she named the girl Qimeng."

At this point, both you and Zhao’er involuntarily turned your gaze to Li Qimeng. Li Qimeng lowered her head slightly, seemingly lost in recalling past events.

Li Guangyao continued, "Shortly after Qimeng was born, Li Zhong died from an incurable hereditary disease. With him gone, Li Fuyun lost her support. To provide for little Qimeng, she returned to Zhonghua Star once more. Her family still refused to let her in, but proposed a condition: if Li Fuyun married a man named Ling Dijie, they would adopt little Qimeng. Li Fuyun agreed." At this point, both Li Guangyao and the old man had somber expressions.

Li Qimeng continued from Li Guangyao’s statement in a soft voice, "Li Fuyun married a man she never loved, and naturally, that man never had any affection for her either. Over a year after their marriage, they had a boy, whom Ling Dijie named Zixu."

Listening up to this point, your frown deepened because they had mentioned this Zixu right from the start, which seemed to be your name in this game world.

Admittedly, the name sounds really unpleasant!

Li Qimeng glanced at you and continued, "Ling Dijie was arrogant and ambitious. To provide better training for his son, he had the audacity to send his two-year-old son into ’Arrogance,’ a game that swept the entire Milky Way Galaxy, via special means."

Upon hearing this, not only Li Qimeng but Zhao’er also turned her head to look at you. However, you maintained a calm expression as you looked at Li Qimeng. Although you knew this was your setting within the game world, you felt as though it had nothing to do with you.

"Mu Yun, I’m your elder sister," Li Qimeng smiled and said, "This is your uncle and grandfather."

"No, I think you’ve all made a mistake," you paused slightly before continuing, "On what basis do you believe that I am that child?"

"Is there a crescent-shaped scar on your right arm? It was made by our mother before she passed away." By this point, Li Qimeng’s eyes were moist with tears.

"That’s not correct," you decisively replied, "This crescent-shaped mark was made by a friend of mine when I was eight years old."
