The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH29

Chapter 29: The Arrival of the City Lord Si

During the few days of rest, Si Er had been busy decorating his little courtyard. He was extremely satisfied with the results—inside, the rooms were warm and beautiful; outside, the facilities were fully equipped.

The swing, slide, and seesaw he liked were all installed. His soul pets could play together, or they could play with him. Perfect!

The soul pets next door belonging to Yu Beixuan were envious, so Yu Beixuan arranged a matching set for them according to Si Er’s layout, leaving them thoroughly satisfied.

Ever since their master had taken a liking to the “pretty boy” next door, his temper seemed to have improved a lot.

They hoped they could keep benefiting from such good fortune in the future.

The day before classes began, Si Er had planned to rest properly—but Si Xu came looking for him.

“Er’er, my father wants to meet you. Would you be willing to come see him?”

“Huh?”

Si Er almost made a meme-worthy expression.

“Why would your father suddenly want to see me?”

Si Xu knew the reason, but could only pretend not to.

He shook his head. “I don’t know. But don’t worry—Father won’t make things difficult for you.”

“Haha… is that so?” Si Er gave a dry laugh. “Let me think about it.”

No way, no way? The City Lord shouldn’t even know I exist yet!

And in the book, didn’t they only find me half a year later? By then, the grass on my grave was already three feet tall.

Si Xu felt a pang of pain at those thoughts and was about to speak when Si Er’s inner voice started chattering again.

Guagua, what did you say? The City Lord actually dreamed about me? He knows I’m his real child?

No way? Why would he suddenly dream about that? Did Madam Si send him a message in a dream?

Then… didn’t Madam Si realize I’m a fake?

Si Er couldn’t help pinching his own face.

Come to think of it, I looked like this in my previous life too. Could this be one of my reincarnations? Or another me in a parallel world?

Forget it, forget it. I’ll go meet the City Lord.

It would’ve been fine if only the City Lord came. But that extremely biased old geezer came too.

If I don’t go, Si Xu will get scolded again.

With that thought, Si Er looked up and smiled at Si Xu. “I took a bit long thinking. You didn’t wait too long, did you?”

Si Xu shook his head. “No.”

“That’s good. Then let’s go.” Si Er grabbed Si Xu’s hand. “We’re such good friends—I should pay a visit to your father.”

Recognizing a dad is secondary. The main thing is to stop that old geezer from stirring up trouble!

Si Xu was deeply moved. Even though Si Er had never considered acknowledging him as a brother, he was always thinking of him.

The two quickly ran toward the academy gates. Yu Beixuan, seeing this, secretly followed behind.

Perched on his shoulder, Yu Bei Eagle sent him a voice transmission: “Boss, isn’t it kind of perverted to keep tailing him like this?”

Yu Beixuan shot it a sidelong glance. The eagle immediately behaved.

Well… even if it was perverted, since their master didn’t allow it to be said, it couldn’t say it.

It could only pity that pretty boy—of all people to catch their boss’s attention.

Yu Beixuan himself also felt his behavior wasn’t entirely proper, but he was worried.

The Old Master of the Si family was famously muddle-headed among all the great clans. He feared Si Er might suffer if he had to face that old fool.

He didn’t intend to pry into Si Er’s privacy—besides, Si Er probably didn’t have much privacy left at this point…

He just wanted to keep watch. If the old master tried to cause trouble, he could use special means to interrupt in time.

After all, the old master was known as someone who had “won by lying down”—his own abilities were mediocre. After reaching the Soul Sect realm, he could go no further. If not for having an excellent son, he’d probably be living off clan allowances.

Unfortunately, he didn’t cherish that good son and instead kept jumping around for the sake of a wastrel, stirring up endless trouble.

The City Lord of Dongyao City arrived at Central City at top speed aboard a Thousand-Mile Roc. He then purchased a guest courtyard outside Black Tortoise Academy and sent a trusted aide to summon Si Xu.

He had wanted to storm straight into the academy to find him, but that would violate protocol and be seen as provocation.

Still, summoning them like this made him worry that Si Xu might fail to bring Si Er.

In the main hall, the City Lord sat at the head seat, constantly glancing toward the door, entirely lacking his usual composure.

Old Master Si was displeased. “Second son, you’re waiting for your son, not your father. There’s no need to crane your neck like this.”

“You’re right, Father,” the City Lord replied aloud—though inwardly he disagreed.

If he were waiting for his father, why would he be so eager?

His father never visited without reason—and every time, it was about matters concerning the third branch, which endlessly annoyed him.

Still, he was his biological father. Though he had never been particularly attentive, he hadn’t mistreated him either. So long as the requests weren’t outrageous, he usually had to agree.

After all, as City Lord of Dongyao, every move he made was scrutinized. If his reputation were damaged, his three sons would suffer as well.

Just as the City Lord glanced outside for what felt like the hundredth time, Si Xu entered, holding Si Er’s hand.

The two boys were of similar age and bore some resemblance, yet each had his own charm. The City Lord couldn’t help but smile.

Old Master Si also found the sight pleasing. And Si Er’s appearance clearly marked him as a true grandson of the Si family.

Still, thinking about Si Ran—whom the City Lord had refused to summon—Old Master Si felt the City Lord was biased.

Wow, so this is my bargain-bin dad? He’s quite handsome!

No wonder Second Brother and I are so good-looking!

Big Brother must be handsome too. Wasn’t he described as having the beauty of a sun god?

Such an old-fashioned description—but enough to prove his looks!

The City Lord and Old Master Si both froze.

The child hadn’t opened his mouth—so where was that rapid-fire voice coming from?

Si Er secretly glanced at Old Master Si.

Oh-ho, so this is my biased, muddle-headed bargain-bin grandpa?

Tsk tsk, a classic example of someone who’s best at having children and worst at raising them.

Old Master Si slammed the table.

He wanted to scold Si Er for spouting nonsense. If he couldn’t raise children, how had his second son become the City Lord of Dongyao?

His eldest son wasn’t bad either—though not as outstanding as the second, he was deputy captain of the city defense force, an important position!

As for the third son… well, his talent was limited. He could only drown his sorrows in pleasure-seeking. Poor child!

Old Master Si felt both sorrowful and indignant. He wanted to teach Si Er a harsh lesson and assert his authority as grandfather.

Unfortunately, just as he raised his hand, the City Lord immobilized him with soul power. His hand froze midair, unable to move.

Old Master Si glared at the City Lord, intending to scold this unfilial son as well.

But the moment he opened his mouth, he bit his own tongue.

The City Lord’s gaze sharpened instantly, shifting toward the beam above Si Er.

He sensed someone up there—someone who had just secretly attacked his father. He didn’t know whether they were friend or foe.

Yu Beixuan desperately restrained his aura, not daring to let the City Lord detect him.

What if he really got treated as a pervert?
