Chapter 84

Old Mr. Hua looked at Long Zaitian. There were some things he didn't need to say; Long Zaitian understood what he meant. They were both old foxes who had lived for many years. Long Zaitian knew he couldn't find any more excuses to stay, but the young man still hadn't returned. He wanted to see the young man return with his own eyes before leaving. No matter what, he had to find an excuse to stay, so he said, "Brother Hua, you and I are like brothers. If you are in trouble and I don't stay to help, how can I call myself your brother? Besides, we are in-laws, closer than brothers. Your family matters are my family matters. How can I stand by and watch you be bullied by those traitors?"

Old Mr. Hua merely nodded and said nothing. He then turned to the brothers Hua Yinglong and Hua Yingnian and said, "Let's disperse for now."

After that, Old Mr. Hua took Hua Zilong away, back to his study.

Old Mr. Hua glanced at Hua Zilong and said, "Has Xiong'er not returned yet?"

Hua Zilong gritted his teeth and said, "That rabbit must have hooked up with someone on the way. He's been playing around and hasn't come home yet."

Old Mr. Hua nodded and said, "Well, it's fine. Sending him there was to make up for the years of neglect. Moreover, his talent is very high. He might have a great fortune there. If he can't return, it might not be a bad thing. It's better not to know what shouldn't be known."

While the father and son were discussing their strategy in the study, in a small house within the Hua family's main residence, Hua Yuqing pouted and said to Grandpa Turtle, who was sitting on the table, "Mom said she would take me out to play, but it's so late, where can we go to play?"

Grandpa Turtle sat on the table in a very human-like manner, crossed his arms, and said with a sly look, "Yeah, it's so late, and there are many bad people outside. Don't get involved with your mom. Just sleep through the night, and maybe nothing will happen by morning. If something does happen, Grandpa Turtle will protect you."

Hua Yuqing felt a bit bored and said, "Mom has already gone upstairs to pack. She left me here to wait, and it's so boring."

Suddenly, Hua Yuqing remembered she hadn't finished her homework. She took out a workbook from her little backpack and said, "Doing homework won't be boring. Grandpa Turtle, you know everything from heaven to earth. I have a few questions I can't solve. You have to help me."

Grandpa Turtle slapped his chest and said, "I'll make sure you get a hundred percent on your homework."

"Really? That's great. I won't have to worry my mom about my homework anymore because I have Little Turtle." The little girl said happily.

Grandpa Turtle was puzzled and asked, "What's Little Turtle?"

Hua Yuqing blinked her eyes and said, "Others have reading pens, but I have Little Turtle to help with my homework."

Grandpa Turtle was stunned.

As she spoke, Hua Yuqing opened her workbook and pointed to a blank in a history question, saying, "Grandpa Turtle, I don't understand this history question. Who is the younger brother of the god of songs, Lee Min-ho, five thousand years ago?"

Grandpa Turtle, who knew everything from heaven to earth, answered without hesitation, "The Luoyang shovel!"

Hua Yuqing, who was not interested in history and blindly trusted Grandpa Turtle, praised him and filled in the answer.

Hua Yuqing then pointed to a diagram and asked, "What kind of butterfly is this?"

Grandpa Turtle knew everything from heaven to earth but didn't understand history or animals. To maintain his brilliant image in front of the little girl, he glanced at the ordinary butterfly and answered without thinking, "The Elegant Butterfly."

Hua Yuqing asked seven comprehensive questions she didn't understand. She wasn't sure if they were correct, but she thought Little Turtle was really smart and knew a lot.

After finishing her homework, Hua Yuqing started playing a brain teaser game with Grandpa Turtle. She sat up straight and said, "Little Turtle, I'll test you with a brain teaser."

Grandpa Turtle, confident in his intelligence, thought, "How can a little girl outsmart me?" He said, "I'll take the challenge."

"One day, you wake up and find a group of dead birds next to your bed. Why?" The little girl asked with a smile.

Grandpa Turtle was stunned. Why would there be dead birds next to his bed? He was good at practical matters but not at dreaming or flying planes in dreams.

Grandpa Turtle answered without thinking, "They died from hitting something."

Hua Yuqing was delighted and said with a squint, "Little Turtle, you're so smart. It's because they were playing Angry Birds."

"Angry Birds? What kind of game is that?" Grandpa Turtle was puzzled but didn't care about birds. He had guessed right anyway.

Hua Yuqing found it interesting and asked another question, "Once, a father and son went to the market and bought a donkey. On their way back, the father and son both rode the donkey. A passerby said they were mistreating the animal and threatened to report them. So the father rode the donkey while the son led it, and another passerby said the father didn't love his child. Then the father led the donkey while the son rode it, and another passerby said the son didn't respect the elderly. In the end, the father and son returned empty-handed. Where did the donkey go?"

Grandpa Turtle scratched his bald head and guessed, "Did they eat it?"

Hua Yuqing finally confirmed that Little Turtle knew everything. She nodded and said, "Yes, because the father and son were afraid of carrying the donkey, so they roasted it and carried it home in their stomachs."

Grandpa Turtle was stunned for a long time. How could he guess that right?

Seeing that he couldn't be stumped, Hua Yuqing was a bit unsatisfied and wanted a harder question. She thought for a few seconds and said, "Little Turtle, one more question. A hunter met two monsters in the forest. The red one takes two shots to kill, and the green one takes one shot. The hunter only has two bullets. Why did he kill the green monster with one shot and then the red one with the other?"

Grandpa Turtle was puzzled and wanted to ask if the hunter was a gun expert. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Unless the red one's face turned green from fear..."

The little girl finally looked at Grandpa Turtle with wide eyes. He was truly a magical turtle.

"Wow, I guessed it right again?" Grandpa Turtle looked at Hua Yuqing with a sly look. Hua Yuqing nodded and said, "Yes, because the red one saw the green one die from one shot and turned green from fear."

The little girl thought nothing could stump this smart Little Turtle, but she was still having fun and said, "Why don't you give me a brain teaser? I'm smarter than you."

Grandpa Turtle was a bit stumped. He had seen many things like the Dragon and Tiger List and playboys but never read brain teasers or "Ten Thousand Whys." He suddenly remembered the fourth-level version of Lady White and came up with a question, "Have you seen the Legend of the White Snake?"

The little girl was very excited and said, "My mom loves Lady White. That Fahai is so hateful."

Grandpa Turtle nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask you. Why did Fahai try to separate Xu Xian and Lady White?"

The little girl immediately answered, "Because Fahai doesn't understand love."

"Wrong. Fahai understands love very well and deeply loves Lady White, so he tricked the foolish Xu Xian into becoming a real monk."

As Grandpa Turtle said this, a woman on the second-floor staircase turned to stone. Her luggage fell and rolled down the stairs. The sound startled the little girl, who immediately looked up to the second floor. It was her mother, who had finished packing?

When the little girl turned back, Grandpa Turtle was gone. He seemed to have sensed something.

At that moment, a black shadow sneaked into the Hua family's villa area in Tianchuan City. It was a graceful figure, perhaps from the game "Soul of the Puppet 07"?

The figure stopped in a dense forest and transformed into another form: Hua Yingxiong.

Hero had returned.
