I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 520 - 126: Second Brother and Third Sister
"I just heard you say... is she also Old Jin’s student?"
As soon as the words fell, the smile on Chen Zaikun’s face froze.
After a long while, he sighed deeply and nodded.
"That’s right, that girl is also your senior sister, and one of the first to follow Teacher Jin, ranking third, once having the title of [Hero of Entropy Change]."
"She was born into a prestigious ancient family—the Tang Family, but due to her lack of talent, she was suppressed by her peers from an early age, almost having no status in the family, and no one cared about her."
"It wasn’t until she followed Teacher Jin that she slowly discovered her potential, gradually surpassing all the genius peers in her family to become a true standout."
Yun You, upon hearing this, only felt that this was the standard "underdog’s rise" template! Looked down upon by family, later apprenticing to learn skills, successfully teaching those who underestimated her a lesson.
So far, everything was still quite normal.
"You think it’s normal too, right?"
Chen Zaikun sighed helplessly, "But reality isn’t a movie, people are quite complicated."
"After she vented her anger, she still cared about her family."
"After all, she lived in the family for over twenty years, and only learned by Teacher Jin’s side for less than a few years, not to mention her parents, her brothers and sisters are still in the family."
"So, when we were labeled as [Hero of Calamity] by the Nest City Council, when her family’s reputation and interests were damaged, she struggled for a long time, but ultimately chose to leave."
"Betraying us, betraying Teacher Jin, going back to her own family."
"Because compared to us ’outsiders,’ she ultimately couldn’t let go of her own blood relatives."
As he spoke, Chen Zaikun spread his hands.
"But we don’t blame her, although this kind of betrayal seems shameful, it’s understandable nonetheless."
"Everyone has their own aspirations, Teacher Jin might have been a bit strict, but he never forced us to make choices on major issues, as long as we don’t regret our decision later on."
"From then on, we went our separate ways. But essentially we had no conflict of interest with the Tang Family, so over the years, we’ve been in peace, sometimes still calling each other brothers and sisters when we meet."
"No matter what, she is our junior sister."
"But this time... this time she really went too far!"
Chen Zaikun glanced at the abrasions on Yun You’s body, a hint of unmasked anger flashed in his eyes.
"She should have known, you are Teacher Jin’s new student, her junior sister, yet she still chose to attack you..."
"Internal strife among fellow disciples, relatives hurting each other, this is something Old Jin... no, it’s something none of us can tolerate."
"She is using you as a stepping stone to rise in the council!"
Saying this, Chen Zaikun unconsciously clenched his fists, his knuckles creaking in his palm, clearly genuinely angry.
In fact, Yun You herself hadn’t thought there were so many twists and turns in this, she just simply regarded Tang Jin as an enemy from the council.
But now that Chen Zaikun has explained it, it seems to indeed be the case.
No wonder Tang Jin observed her several times before acting, it turns out she was confirming her identity.
Yun You really didn’t expect that one day she’d be targeted by her senior sister as a tool for acquiring fame and fortune.
"This truly is... people’s hearts are not as they used to be, and the world is unpredictable."
The little girl couldn’t help but sigh softly.
Fortunately, in the end, thanks to the help of Second Brother, she narrowly escaped disaster.
"Thank you, Second Brother."
Yun You thanked sincerely from her heart.
"Thank what, it’s what I should do."
Chen Zaikun smiled and then took out a crumpled electronic plaque from his pocket, handing it to Yun You.
Upon seeing it, the girl realized it was a business card, with the words "Chen Zaikun" written in neat characters, along with personal contact and Ethernet username.
"This is my contact information, add it when you get back, if you have any difficulties, feel free to come to Second Brother, as long as there’s no time conflict, Second Brother will help to the fullest!"
Chen Zaikun patted his chest with his hand, and his honest appearance combined with his promise was quite reassuring.
In Yun You’s view, of the three senior brothers and sisters who have appeared so far, apart from Third Sister’s betrayal, both Eldest Brother and Second Brother are quite reliable and have good personalities, they indeed inherited Old Jin’s teachings, completely unlike the typical ruthless and cold Apprentice Death God.
Especially this Second Brother, who is impeccably honest.
No wonder even the Nest City Council, who hates Old Jin, couldn’t attach a notorious evil title to Chen Zaikun, they could only use a neutral term like "Heaven and Earth" to refer to him.
Thinking of this, Yun You accepted the business card without hesitation.
"Alright, the matters are almost taken care of, I should get going."
Chen Zaikun smiled and patted Yun You’s shoulder, pointing to the satellite in the sky, and explained: "We are constantly under surveillance, if we stay too long in Nest City, it will inevitably provoke some people’s resentment."
"So, neither I nor your senior brothers can stay long in Nest City, at least not in Central City or Upper City, otherwise, it will attract a group of predators."
"Then... what about me?"
Yun You instinctively pointed to herself, quietly asking: "Will I also be monitored in the future?"
She herself didn’t care much about being monitored or not, but her business is in G District, if she can’t remain in the upper circles of Nest City, how can she look after her Huangxing Group? Does she really have to dump everything onto Aurora?
It’s true she did that before, but that was when the group was still in its developmental stages? Although the affairs were complicated, the overall scale wasn’t large, one person could manage to handle it with a bit of an effort.
Now, as the group expands, pushing all matters onto Aurora is obviously unrealistic.
Yun You was even considering recruiting some help for Aurora.
Moreover, if she can’t stay in Nest City, where can she go? Could she really go into the wilderness and accompany those mutated creatures?
Just thinking about this gave the little girl a headache.
It’s not that she can’t endure hardship, after all, she did come out of the slums, having endured all sorts of hardships, she just doesn’t want to live in a desolate place, it would be too lonely.
"Maybe."
Chen Zaikun shook his head, not outright denying it. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"When you are also like us, having a [Hero of Calamity] title, Nest City will probably monitor you and place some restrictions on you."
"However..."
He paused slightly, then smiled and said: "We will strive to secure a chance for you to not be monitored, this is something we and Teacher Jin have been working on."
"And the upcoming mayoral election plan is our breaking point."
"Speaking of which, I have something to ask you, Junior Sister."
Chen Zaikun lowered his voice, simultaneously using his power to block out Tian En’s hearing on the side.
"What is it?"
Yun You was slightly surprised, but still instinctively replied.
Usually, she was the one asking Old Jin and Jiang Wuji some questions, now that Chen Zaikun has something to ask her, she certainly should be candid.
"It’s about... the ’Saint’s Remains.’
Chen Zaikun explained: "I got word from an informant that this mayoral election is very likely related to a Saint’s Remains that has been missing for a thousand years."
"I’m not sure if you know anything about the remains, or if you have any information on it..."
Hearing this, Yun You was momentarily stunned.
She had naturally heard of the Saint’s Remains and also wished to pursue such a treasure capable of creating miracles and bringing the dead back to life.
But relevant information, she indeed had none... or rather, not accurate enough.
The only piece of info was from Moon Glass, who told her... that the Saint’s Remains might be among the late Mayor Kars’s estate.
And even this piece of information wasn’t necessarily reliable.
So, after much consideration, Yun You still shook her head.
"I know of the Saint’s Remains, but I currently have no accurate information."
"If I do find out, I would certainly inform Second Brother at the first opportunity!"
"..."
Hearing this, a fleeting trace of disappointment flashed in Chen Zaikun’s eyes, but it was soon replaced by understanding.
He didn’t complain, just nodded, lightly patting Yun You’s shoulder.
"Keep it up, Senior Brother is optimistic about you."
"Perhaps someday in the future, you can far surpass us old folks."
"By then, the ideals of Teacher and us may be realized in your hands."
With that, his figure flashed and disappeared into the distance.
