“My daddy is called Wu Yunfeng. He’s the strongest hero!”

Zhang Che couldn’t resist raising his eyebrows when he heard that name. He asked calmly, confirming, “Is your daddy really called Wu Yunfeng?”

The little girl’s eyes lit up. She looked at Zhang Che, filled with hope, and asked, “That’s right, Uncle! My daddy is called Wu Yunfeng! Do you know my daddy?”

Zhang Che nodded. He couldn’t bear to tear down the heroic image in her heart and said, “I don’t know your daddy, but I have heard of him before. He is indeed very strong!”

The latter portion wasn’t lying through his conscience. Wu Yunfeng was indeed very powerful. He was the first expert Zhang Che had ever encountered. If he hadn’t broken through to Tier Four beastmaster in the nick of time, in addition to having the rainbow crystal to withstand his mental attack, Zhang Che would have died!

Wu Yichen was very excited at hearing Zhang Che praising her daddy. Afterwards, her expression dimmed a little, pleading, “Then, Uncle, if you see my daddy in the future, you have to tell him to come back quickly. Chenchen got bullied by the baddies, and our house was taken by them, too!”

Zhang Che sighed inside. That Wu Yunfeng had really hid things deeply. A powerful Tier Four beastmaster like him was actually staying in this poor neighborhood.

As for Wu Yichen thinking of her father as a great hero, Zhang Che didn’t find it strange. No matter how evil of a person, they probably wouldn’t want their descendents to become like them, right? As such, it was only natural he would act like a righteous hero in front of his daughter.

“Mmm, okay. If uncle meets your daddy, I’ll be sure to tell him to come home and keep Chenchen company,” Zhang Che replied, smiling, but he sighed inside.

If Wu Yunfeng hadn’t employed methods like robbing subdued beasts from other beastmasters and developed honestly, given that he had a beast card weapon with a mental attack ability, he could totally have developed quickly and become a core of humanity’s beastmasters.

With that, he wouldn’t have died, and his daughter wouldn’t have been reduced to such a poor state today, right?

However, it was impossible after thinking about it.

Those kinds of people were used to gaining rewards without working hard for them. Relying on the fact that he had a mental attack weapon, he went around robbing other beastmasters recklessly. That method of gaining beast cards was indeed much faster than hunting the exotic beasts himself.

After all, beastmasters didn’t have much, if any, resistance against mental attacks. Many stronger exotic beasts, however, had certain resistances against mental attacks. Comparing the two, naturally he would be more willing to take the shortcut. It was just that this little girl who had heard her father’s lies since young was very pitiful.

“Come, we’ll go get your house back, first.” Zhang Che felt complicated inside, but he still decided to help this poor little orphan.

After all, from a certain perspective, Wu Yichen living a dog’s life in the alleys was because of him. However, Zhang Che didn’t feel any guilt. Putting aside the fact that Wu Yunfeng tried to rob him and silence him afterwards, even if Wu Yunfeng was robbing some other beastmaster and was discovered by Zhang Che, he would most likely take action and kill such a scummy beastmaster.

“Really, Uncle? That’s wonderful!” Wu Yichen jumped excitedly after hearing Zhang Che was willing to help her get her house back. Afterwards, she showed a hint of worry on her dirty little face, “But, Uncle, those baddies that took our house away are very strong. Can you win against them?”

Done speaking, Wu Yichen’s stomach suddenly growled. It was probably due to her jumping, and her empty stomach immediately feeling off and rebelling.

“No hurry in getting the house back. Uncle will bring you to go eat something first.” Zhang Che sighed inside again. He didn’t know how long have this pitiful little girl been starving here for. He brought her to a nearby restaurant that had yet to close for the night and fed her a full meal, then walked back to the poor neighborhood her house was located in.

As for those who took over Wu Yichen’s home, they were probably only some low level thugs, and noticed that Wu Yunfent hadn’t been back in a long time. They had gotten some ideas in their heads, and acted on them.

—

After making a few turns in the alley and walking some distance, Wu Yichen suddenly pointed at a small courtyard ahead and said, “We’re here, Uncle. That house ahead is my home.”

Zhang Che looked to where she pointed to. The courtyard seemed very ordinary; the building was decades old, probably built during Wu Yichen’s grandfather’s generation. It was already rather worn out.

Who would take over such a house?

Harboring such suspicions, Zhang Che let Wu Yichen wait outside, while he jumped lightly over the two-meters-some wall and walked inside the dark house.

When Zhang Che was directly outside, he could sense that the house was empty. He turned on the lights, and saw that the furnitures were in disarray, like a group of wild boars had devastated the house. It was as messy as could be.

“Like I thought, who in the right mind would take over such a worn out house...” Zhang Che nodded, guessing the reason. They were probably some low-tier beastmasters who knew Wu Yunfeng. Seeing as he hadn’t been back for a long time, they guessed that he had met with an accident in the beast world. As such, they grew daring enough to come take over his house, trying to find any valuables and beast cards.

After all, Wu Yunfeng was considered an expert among Tier Four beastmasters. It was impossible for his whole fortune to be on him. Surely some good stuff was hidden at home!

Of course, Zhang Che wouldn’t know whether Wu Yunfeng had indeed hidden valuable things at home. Even if there were, they would have been taken by now.

Moreover, he wouldn’t be interested in any valuables Wu Yunfeng had hidden at home with his current wealth. After taking another look at the devastated house, Zhang Che turned to leave and opened the gates to let Wu Yichen in.

“Uncle, did you beat all the baddies away?” Wu Yichen asked cautiously, her expression guarded.

Zhang Che chuckled, saying, “Don’t be afraid. Those baddies knew we were coming and have run away on their own. You can stay at your place again from today on.”

“Really? That’s great!” Wu Yichen cheered. When she saw the sorry state the house was in, she couldn’t resist saying fiercely, “Those baddies really deserve to die! They actually messed up my house so badly. I will need to clean up for a long time!”

Seeing the bitter look on Wu Yichen’s face, Zhang Che sighed inside again, then said, “No problem. Uncle will help you clean the house, alright?”

“Okay! Thank you so much, Uncle!”

——-

Zhang Che returned home very late. The next morning, he woke up early and rushed over to the Qian Wei City’s military camp, informing them of Wu Yichen’s matters and asking them to help look out for her in the future.

As for the reason behind it, Zhang Che told them Wu Yichen’s father was a friend he got to know in the beast world, and had unfortunately lost his life to exotic beasts. Now, this orphaned girl was left all alone, and he had no time to take care of her. He was thus entrusting the military to help her out.

Regarding this, the people from Qian Wei City military naturally agreed to it immediately. They patted their chests, guaranteeing to take good care of Wu Yichen and not let her get bullied by those thugs and lowly beastmasters.

That day, Sun Lan and Sun Shaoying’s family were very busy. First, they went to the public cemetery and unearthed Zhang Che’s so-called father and maternal grandparents’ remains, then immediately rushed over to Tian Xing City to bury them in the public cemetery there.

Although Zhang Che wasn’t needed much during the whole process, as a junior, he was required to be around the whole time.

After many complicated ceremonies, the remains were successfully unearthed. Zhang Che piloted dijiang-hao and ferried his extended family, as well as the three urns of ashes, immediately flying back to Tian Xing City.

—

When they arrived at Tian Xing City, the Feng Shui master they hired there said it was already late, and they couldn’t bury the remains today, needing to wait until tomorrow.

As a result, they went through a lot of trouble the next day as well, and finally buried their three late ancestors’ remains, bringing the matter to a close.

The relocating of the graves was completed, but Sun Shaoying’s family hadn’t been back to Tian Xing City in a long time. They had many friends and family here, and they needed to go visit them for the next couple of days. It would be two days later, at the very least, before they headed back to Bei Du.

Fortunately, Zhang Che had friends in Tian Xing City, too. He wouldn’t feel too bored here.
