Chapter 47

Qifeng loudly protested his innocence, clearly it was the protagonist Li Xiaoyao who did this good deed! How could it be counted on me? Taking action against such a young girl is illegal in our place! Even if you want me to be a substitute or a backup, you should first get the main person's consent, right? Uncle Han, this is overstepping your authority! Where does your surging sense of justice come from?

Fortunately, Qifeng was agile, and his Dragon Scale Boots added several points to his agility. Uncle Han's two swift sweeps of the broom didn't even touch a hair on his head, all missing. As a healer, Uncle Han's damage per second (DPS) accuracy was indeed worrying.

Qifeng picked up a chair and used a "Lift the Sky with Fire" stance to block Uncle Han's "Cleaving Huashan" move with the broom, and hurriedly called out, "Doctor Han, you're hitting the wrong person. It really wasn't me. I know who her lover is!"

Uncle Han still didn't believe him and scolded, "How could a young girl let a third person know about such a secret matter as an unexpected pregnancy?! I'm hitting you!"

Well, no one else knew about this. Li Xiaoyao himself was still in the dark. He was indeed the first to know about this, even earlier than Zhao Ling'er! Oh my, this time, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't wash away the suspicion! After all, before Li Xiaoyao met Zhao Ling'er for the first time, he was tricked by the Miao people into taking a forgetfulness charm, and he didn't even know that he had already... well, "spent the night" with Zhao Ling'er.

Uncle Han snorted again, "Can't come up with a lie, huh?! Take this!" On the other side, Han Mei seemed to have a hostile look and might join the fight at any moment.

Unless Zhao Ling'er wakes up, no one can clear my name. But let's deal with Uncle Han first. Qifeng dodged again, taking two quick steps back, "Don't rush! I have evidence!"

"Evidence?" The Han family father and daughter were taken aback. Uncle Han's half-bald broom hung in the air, "What evidence do you have?"

Qifeng waved his hand to signal a ceasefire and pulled out his phone, blabbering to stabilize the father and daughter, "I really have evidence! A picture is worth a thousand words! I hate it when people post pictures without substance, but this one has substance, and it's not mine!..." Heaven and earth, it's really not!

Uncle Han and his daughter didn't understand this vague stuff, but they were stunned when they saw Qifeng take out a glowing box. What kind of treasure is this? But it seemed to have pictures inside. They decided to take a look at what the pictures showed.

Uncle Han, still holding his weapon, came over and took the phone, and Han Mei also leaned in to look. The screen showed a photo Qifeng had taken a couple of months ago with Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao. The first reaction of the Han family father and daughter was, "Wow! So lifelike! Is it real? How did you draw it?"

Qifeng took a breath, finally stabilizing the situation, "Ahem... It's not a drawing, it's a magical technique that can preserve images. Well, explaining too much won't help, I'll take a picture for you as a keepsake later! First, look at the picture, look at the picture."

Now the Han family father and daughter remembered the main issue and carefully examined the picture. In the selfie, there were three people: Qifeng, the girl lying inside, Zhao Ling'er, and a handsome young man. Clearly, they knew each other, and the other guy was quite photogenic too!

Qifeng finally got a break, put down the chair, and said, "You see, right?"

"See what?" the Han family father and daughter asked.

Qifeng came over and pointed to Li Xiaoyao in the photo, "See? This handsome guy, he's the father of the child, the true lover of this Zhao Ling'er girl. I told you, you've got the wrong person!"

"Oh~! So that's how it is!" Uncle Han and his daughter both said meaningfully, still looking at him with disdain, disbelief, and disgust.

Qifeng, of course, could feel this, "Hey? You don't believe me?"

Han Mei shook her head firmly, "I don't believe it!"

Qifeng rubbed his forehead, if you don't believe me, I'm really out of options! This is all I can show. Qifeng turned to look at Doctor Han, Uncle Han, with your rich experience, you must be able to see the truth in the photo, right? Clearly, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er are a perfect match, and I'm just a bystander, right?

With a hopeful look on his face, Doctor Han chuckled, took the phone, and pointed to the photo, saying kindly, "You say this is Zhao Ling'er's true lover?"

Qifeng nodded vigorously, excitedly, "Yes! Doctor Han, I know you can see it! I'm innocent! You believe me, right?" Heaven help me, as a half-otaku, a second-year college student in a STEM field, Qifeng didn't even have a girlfriend. Now, if he was accused of seducing a young girl and her unborn child, he would be more wronged than Dou'e.

Doctor Han smiled and nodded, "I can believe you, but I have one question."

Qifeng quickly said, "Ask, I'll tell you everything."

Doctor Han patted Qifeng's shoulder, speaking earnestly and slowly, "Explain to me why Zhao Ling'er and her lover are so far apart, yet they are face-to-face with you? Tell me, what's the reason for this?" Doctor Han's tone grew heavier, pointing to Qifeng, who was between Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao, and the last sentence was said with a stern voice and a stern look!

Oh no! Qifeng looked at the group photo on his phone and found it hard to explain! If only he hadn't squeezed in the middle when taking the photo! If only he hadn't been face-to-face with Zhao Ling'er! A goddess's favor is not easily obtained, and the time for retribution has not yet come!

"Looks like you know you can't argue, huh?" Doctor Han snorted, "This is the evidence!" He raised the phone high, as if holding a token of command.

Qifeng's head was in a mess. Actually, if Doctor Han misunderstood, it could be left alone. But Zhao Ling'er was here to rest, and Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru might come looking for her any day. According to the plot and common sense, Zhao Ling'er might keep the pregnancy a secret. Li Xiaoyao, due to the drug, was completely unaware. If Doctor Han and Han Mei, who thought they knew the truth, let it slip, and Li Xiaoyao believed the child was Qifeng's, that would be a big problem!

Whether Li Xiaoyao would come after him was uncertain, but what would happen between Zhao Ling'er, Li Xiaoyao, and Lin Yueru was really hard to predict. The entire world of the game might be thrown into chaos, with the Moonlight Sect unifying the world, or the Water Demon destroying everything. Qifeng didn't dare to think about it. Not only would countless lives be lost, but the shops in this world would be ruined, and all the maps he had opened would be destroyed. Who knew if it would affect the other "Jade Sword" games?

No matter what, after a while, Uncle Han's anger had cooled down a bit. He only pointed at Qifeng with the half-broken broom, instead of hitting him, "What do you think should be done now?"

Qifeng had no choice but to give in, saying dejectedly, "First, we need to take care of the person and ensure the baby's safety. We'll wait until Zhao Ling'er wakes up to talk about it. Well, the innocent will be cleared, and there's nothing more I can say if you don't believe me."

Doctor Han nodded, "That's the only way. If you feel wronged, you can confront Zhao Ling'er when she wakes up!"

What? Confront her? How do I explain how I knew she was pregnant? Damn, this is a mess I can't explain. The mistake was in asking if Han Mengci had saved a girl.

So, as the saying goes, "Misfortune comes from the mouth, and trouble arises from sticking one's head out." Indeed, it's an ancient lesson!

Qifeng shook his dizzy head and stepped towards the door. So much had happened in such a short time, and he needed to sort it out to calm down.

Just as Qifeng was dragging his feet heavily towards the door, Uncle Han shouted again, "Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Qifeng turned around with a sad face, ready to beg this feminist uncle to let him go, when he heard the same threatening voice from behind the door, "Want to leave? Not so easy!"

Hey, you're serious? Who else is causing trouble? Qifeng slapped his face, covering it in silence. Really, who are you? How did you get here?!
