Chapter 367: Chapter 367: He’s Just a Human Navigator

"Yaoguang, you—"

Wei Jinyan reached out and pulled her arm, intending to have her hide behind him, when he saw what she did, and a light screen unfolded before them.

The flying knives arrived as expected.

However...

The scene of blood splashing on the spot did not occur.

The flying knives were directly blocked by the light screen.

Listening to the sound of metal clashing, Wei Jinyan was in a daze.

The crisis of the flying knives was completely averted, and he still hadn’t snapped back to reality.

Was he hallucinating?

He must have been hallucinating.

Flying knives are the most foolproof attack within top-notch defense systems.

This standard, applied to any normal person, would hold true.

After all, not just anyone can summon a light screen that blocks flying knives.

Shi Yaoguang withdrew the light screen and turned to see Wei Jinyan with an expression as if he didn’t know whether it was dawn or dusk.

She curled her lip and gave a reminder, "Snap out of it."

Wei Jinyan shook his head and came back to his senses.

The way he looked at Shi Yaoguang was no different from looking at a monster.

He really had no idea how she had done it...

As if Shi Yaoguang saw through his thoughts, she clicked her tongue lightly, "Uncle, you really can’t handle much, can you?"

Wei Jinyan replied, "I’m already quite composed."

This wasn’t him making excuses for himself, he genuinely felt that way.

If someone else had experienced something like using a portal to hop dimensions, they would have been scared to death.

How many people could remain so composed when faced with flying knives?

Of course, Shi Yaoguang knew what he was thinking, but...

This was an inevitable process.

Since we’ve decided to go against Heavenly Dao, the more allies on our side, the better.

Since we’ve decided to be linked with the Wei Family, then...

Demonstrating one’s abilities to the Wei Family naturally became part of the equation.

That too was the reason she was willing to show her abilities to Wei Jinyan upon their first meeting.

Employ those you trust; don’t doubt those employed.

Since the decision had been made, naturally there was no hesitancy.

Quan Jinbei’s health was deteriorating by the day, and she had to settle these troublesome matters in the shortest time possible.

...

The island city where the Wei Family resided was called the City of Freedom.

Although the name was a bit hastily given, it was very apt.

In the City of Freedom, everything was free.

Even if you wanted to commit arson, kill, and plunder, as long as you could ensure your own safety, you could do whatever you wished.

Of course...

This approach generally only had one outcome.

Pushing one’s luck a bit too far, followed by an abrupt downfall.

The Wei Family’s castle defense was also famous in the City of Freedom.

Thus, when the alarm was triggered, many people received the news.

The Wei Family head naturally found out about it as well.

Accompanied by the butler, he arrived at the place where Shi Yaoguang and Wei Jinyan were.

Looking at the flying knives on the ground, the Wei Family head was stunned.

"This is..."

Before he could finish his astonishment, seeing Shi Yaoguang, whom he had only seen in pictures, along with Wei Jinyan standing by her side, he was taken aback once more.

Wei Jinyan had just reported his whereabouts to him yesterday, and according to that, he should be in the country right now, so why had he suddenly returned to the City of Freedom?

Furthermore, the Wei Family’s castle was Wei Jinyan’s home.

He was just coming home, so why would that trigger an alarm?

It was this doubt that made the Wei Family head unable to help but speculate more.

When Wei Jinyan saw him, he shouted excitedly, "Father!"

Seeing him, Wei Jinyan was like an injured child who had finally seen an adult to act coy with, spilling out his feelings without any hesitation.

"Father, I thought I might not be able to see you just now..."

Having heard him out, the Wei Family head’s face expressed a degree of speechlessness, "You return to your own home and trigger an alarm, do you think that’s something to be proud of?"

Wei Jinyan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Of course not.

But what can he do about it?

What could he do?

He was just a person being manipulated, an emotionless tool.

Yes.

At this moment, Wei Jinyan belatedly had this feeling.

Shi Yaoguang had simply been using him as a navigation device.

Thinking of this, Wei Jinyan felt choked up.

How did he end up with such a strange niece?

While Wei Jinyan was internally suffering, the Wei Family head had already approached Shi Yaoguang and looked at her emotionally, "You must be Yaoguang, right? I’m your grandfather..."

After hearing him out, Shi Yaoguang politely nodded her head and naturally called out, "Grandfather."

The Wei Family head suddenly felt his eyes welling up with tears, "Good child, it’s so good you could come back."

With that, he couldn’t help but ask, "How did you come back? Just yesterday your uncle was telling me that he was about to look for you. How come you..."

After Shi Yaoguang played the recording, Wei Jinyan had informed the Wei Family head about his plans to look for his niece Shi Yaoguang.

It was only yesterday that he had found the opportunity, and he had gone to prepare a gift for the meeting. Didn’t all the back and forth take time?

Of course, that’s not the main point.

He had to have a serious talk with his father about how he had come back.

The Wei Family head, observing Wei Jinyan’s expression, grew increasingly curious.

He was certain Wei Jinyan wouldn’t deceive him. Since Wei Jinyan had never lied to him, how they had come back was a question worth delving into.

Once inside, Wei Jinyan told the truth.

The whole process, without even exaggerating a single detail.

However.

What he said sounded like a joke, and the Wei Family head simply didn’t believe it.

"You kid, cracking jokes after stepping out for just a while, what really happened?"

Scratching his head, Wei Jinyan asserted with conviction, "Father, it really happened just like I said, you have to believe me."

"How could it be just like you said?"

The Wei Family head was rather helpless, "Even if you took the fastest plane, you couldn’t possibly have come back in such a short amount of time..."

When it came to this, Wei Jinyan still felt bewildered.

He didn’t know how Shi Yaoguang had managed it.

Let’s rewind to about an hour ago.

At that time, Shi Yaoguang had very obediently called out "Uncle," making Wei Jinyan feel a bad premonition in his heart.

Shi Yaoguang said there’s no time like the present, insisting she wanted to visit the Wei Family that very day, which Wei Jinyan naturally thought was impossible.

As he found it impossible, Shi Yaoguang pulled out a disc made of some unknown material.

He watched dumbfounded as Shi Yaoguang threw the disc onto the ground, and a beam of light shot up towards the sky from it; then she pulled him over to stand in the middle of the disc, enveloped by the beam of light.

After that...

He became a guideway navigator.

Shi Yaoguang asked for the location of the Wei Family, and relying on his excellent memory, he navigated Shi Yaoguang back home.

In the end, they ended up triggering the mansion’s alarm.

Hearing everything Wei Jinyan said, the Wei Family head showed a similarly perplexed expression.

"Are you really not joking?"

In order to prove that he wasn’t joking, Wei Jinyan even took out his mobile phone, showing that just over an hour ago, he was still located at Quan Mansion.
