The True Young Master Saves the Soul Pet World by Eating Melons – CH36

Chapter 36: The Yu Father and Son

Seeing that Si Er and Si Xu had both left, Yu Beixuan also wanted to slip away quietly. However, he was grabbed and yanked down by the City Lord Si.

The gap in strength between them was far too great. Yu Beixuan failed to escape and could only reveal himself in front of the City Lord.

Yu Beixuan’s cold, pale skin paired with his black clothing and that distinctive dark aura immediately made the City Lord recognize him.

“You’re the third son of the old Yu family—Yu Beixuan?”

The Ten Thousand Beasts Continent was a place where, aside from the cultivation system, everything else was quite advanced—communications included.

They had devices similar to mobile phones. You could contact individuals privately or create group chats, and they supported text, voice, and video.

As someone in his position, the City Lord had to join numerous city lord group chats—such as the General City Lords Group, the Eastern City Lords Group, the Senior City Lords Group, and the Four Great Cities Group for East Yao, West Feng, South Li, and North Night.

In every city lord group he had joined, there was the Yu City Lord.

And in every one of those groups, the Yu City Lord had posted baby photos of his youngest son. Whenever he had nothing to do, he could praise his son eight hundred times a day. Every single compliment started with: “My Xuanxuan is super cute…”

After Yu Beixuan grew a bit older, for safety reasons, the Yu City Lord stopped posting his photos. But the eight-hundred-times-a-day boasting never decreased.

The moment the City Lord saw Yu Beixuan’s face—somewhat resembling the Yu City Lord’s—his mind instantly echoed with that devilish soundtrack of bragging.

“You have no idea how cute my Xuanxuan is! You know the Shadow Eagle, right? That thing is extremely exclusive!”

“But the moment it saw my Xuanxuan, it forgot its own chick and happily carried my son back to its nest!”

“Of course, with such a cute son, I had to raise him myself. That eagle can go back to being an empty-nest old bird!”

“You have no idea how cuuuute my Xuanxuan is! He can call me ‘Daddy’ now! Every time I hold him, he giggles. He must really love me as his father!”

“Wuwuwu, my Xuanxuan can eat by himself now. I’m so touched. The child has grown up—and he’s so sensible, not a single grain of rice spilled!”

…

“Waaah! Xuanxuan! My Xuanxuan! You ran away from home—how is your old father supposed to live? I don’t want to be an empty-nest old man!”

Speaking of which, when Yu Beixuan first ran away from home, the City Lord had actually been quite pleased. That old rascal bragged in the group chat all day long—was he the only one who had sons?

But truthfully, the City Lord had once been very envious. He thought his eldest and second sons were quite cute too—they just weren’t affectionate with him.

Si Ran, on the other hand, liked being close to him, but whenever he looked at Si Ran, he felt an inexplicable awkwardness that kept him from growing close.

So although he worried about Yu Beixuan wandering outside alone, once he thought about how the Yu City Lord could no longer show off, he secretly felt delighted.

Then, two months later…

“You have no idea how cute my Xuanxuan is! I hid and concealed my aura. He thought I wasn’t home and secretly snuck back!”

“He’s such an obedient, sensible, considerate, lively, cute, sunny, kind, positive, brave, resilient… good child.”

“He even brought gifts for his mother and his two older brothers. And tsundere as he is, he gave the gift meant for me to his mother instead!”

“Wuwuwu, my good boy. Daddy really can’t live without you!”

The demonic voice echoed endlessly in his mind, and the City Lord’s face grew darker and darker. Looking at the seemingly well-behaved young man dressed in black before him, he thought: I’m not Yu Lipu. I won’t look at Yu Beixuan with a filter on.

With one glance, he could tell this brat was up to no good.

“Tell me. Which of my sons were you spying on?”

Yu Beixuan naturally didn’t dare admit it and quickly smiled. “Uncle Si, you misunderstand. Our two families are old friends—how could I possibly come here to spy?”

“I just saw the two Young Masters Si in a hurry and was worried they might have run into trouble. I followed to see if there was anything I could help with.”

“Is that so?” The City Lord raised a brow. “Then why didn’t you leave promptly after seeing we were discussing family matters?”

“What, did you find watching the Si family’s drama amusing?”

“Of course not.”

Yu Beixuan opened his mouth to explain, but the City Lord cut him off.

“Enough. I can’t be bothered to hear your excuses. Go back to the academy.”

“You’re the son of a city lord. Try to do less spying in the future. If I catch you again next time, I won’t let you off so easily.”

“Yes. Thank you, Uncle Si, for showing mercy.”

Yu Beixuan agreed extremely quickly, wearing a humble and receptive expression. However, what he understood was not quite what the City Lord meant.

Uncle Si said “do less,” not “never do it again.” So he could still spy in the future—as long as he didn’t get caught?

The City Lord stuffed a small greeting gift into Yu Beixuan’s hands to send him off, but Yu Beixuan didn’t immediately leave.

“Uncle Si, may I ask one more question?”

“What is it?”

“How do you plan to deal with Si Ran and Third Master Si?”

One of them had a conflict of interest with Si Er. The other had personally abandoned and harmed him. Yu Beixuan wasn’t at ease letting those two continue running around freely.

The City Lord’s expression turned serious. “Based on the clues provided by Er’er, I will investigate everything Third Brother Si has done as quickly as possible and then hand the matter over to the Clan Elders’ Council. They will handle it according to clan rules.”

The original body and its clone could share their five senses. So the original body stationed in East Yao City could also hear the inner thoughts heard here.

Given his temperament, he should already be on the move investigating.

Yu Beixuan asked again, “And according to clan rules, what would the outcome be?”

The City Lord replied, “Third Brother Si and Si Ran will both be removed from the Si family genealogy. From then on, all matters of the Si family will have nothing to do with the father and son.”

“And they must return all the resources over the years that did not rightfully belong to Si Ran.”

Yu Beixuan was not satisfied. “That doesn’t sound very severe.”

“It depends on what the investigation uncovers. If all the clues provided by Er’er can be verified, then Third Brother Si’s soul sea will be destroyed.”

Yu Beixuan’s eyes lit up. Now that sounded like a proper punishment.

After leaving the Si family’s newly purchased residence, Yu Beixuan took out his communication device and sent messages to his eldest and second brothers.

After sending them, he still felt uneasy. Gritting his teeth, he dialed the Yu City Lord’s device.

“Xuanxuan, my adorable Xuanxuan! You finally remembered you have an old father who needs greeting?”

“Father…” Thinking that he was about to ask for help, Yu Beixuan softened his tone. “Could Father help me with something?”

“What kind of help? Tell me first.”

The Yu City Lord’s tone carried a hint of smugness. His son rarely asked him for anything. He naturally had to put on airs a little—after all, opportunities like this didn’t come often.

“It’s like this…”

Yu Beixuan briefly explained Si Er’s situation and added, “I know Father has always been righteous and helpful, drawing his blade when facing injustice…”

“Uncle Si is Father’s good friend. Father will surely help, right?”

The Yu City Lord didn’t immediately agree. Instead, he asked with great curiosity:

“Xuanxuan… don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to Old Si’s youngest son who was left outside?”
