Chapter 943: 810, what is your mother's name?_1
Lin Yi also looked over, since he himself didn't know how long he would be here or what would be the opportunity to leave.
The initial plan was to wait until after the Soul Master competition, but each day felt incredibly long... ridiculously long.
Chen Xin redirected her attention to the call and tentatively asked, "Are you saying that in the time period you're in, Lin Yi is already gone? In fact, in my time period, he appeared just about twenty days ago."
Girl: "I don't know, all I know is that he was gone before I was born. Of course, that's what the adults say. They say he never appeared in public again since then. And, are you really from the past? Could you be a bad person in disguise? Don't think I'm easy to deceive."
Gone before I was born??
Having a daughter like Chen Xin, it definitely couldn't have happened too late, given his age. It must have been something recent. Does this not mean that Lin Yi would disappear soon?
Would he even stay for a year?
Chen Xin quickly responded, "Not a bad person, not a bad person. You've already recognized my voice, how can you still think I'm a bad person?"
Girl: "A bad person can imitate my dad's voice too."
Just as Chen Xin was unsure how to respond, Gu Rong suddenly said, "You old scoundrel, you already have a daughter, aren't you curious about who your wife is? Ask her now."
With that reminder from Gu Rong, Chen Xin's interest was piqued. Actually, he had been about to ask that but got distracted by Lin Yi's matter.
Before he could speak, the girl on the other end suddenly exclaimed.
"Uncle Gu Rong's voice! You villain, how dare you imitate Uncle Gu Rong's voice!"
Chen Xin's lips twitched: "Seems my daughter I've never met is a bit slow-witted. Your Uncle Gu Rong's voice is coming through, and you still think I'm a bad person? Why would a bad person invade your mind in such a complicated way, for what purpose?"
Girl: "For my beauty."
Chen Xin almost spit out a mouthful of water.
Chen Xin: "How old are you?"
Girl: "18."
Chen Xin: "Got a boyfriend?"
Girl: "Broke up, what about it? I've dated about ten guys, don't think I don't know what you men are thinking."
Hearing this, Chen Xin's facial muscles trembled violently.
Everyone cast sympathetic glances his way. As a father, hearing his daughter casually mention she had "about ten boyfriends," the sound of his heart breaking was almost audible.
Chen Xin tried to calm down, "Alright alright, I won't hold these things against you for now, but I'll remember this, you just wait..."
Girl: "You won't hold it against me? Uncle Gu Rong has been dead for many years, and you get someone to imitate his voice, I haven't even settled the score with you! Just wait, I'll go find my dad in a bit. I've never met Lin Yi, I don't believe you're using his reward as an excuse, I've never believed that story."
It was only then that Lin Yi realized, Chen Xin's daughter had never even seen him and merely thought of him as a character from the stories told by her parents.
It sounded somewhat delicate.
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong almost shouted these words simultaneously.
Gu Rong approached with a mix of belief and disbelief: "Kid, what did you say? I died? When did this happen? Why is your dad still alive and I'm the one dead! Why doesn't he die!"
Girl: "Your dad is the one who's dead!"
Gu Rong: "I..."
Gu Rong's eyes widened, suddenly feeling an urge to punch Chen Xin in the face, but he couldn't, because he couldn't reach the girl.
"Look at what kind of daughter you've got, not only is her brain stubborn, but she's also rude!"
Gu Rong said discontentedly.
Girl: "Oh, so now you're putting on a show, huh? Keep it up, I want to see just how far you two liars can go."
Upon hearing this, not to mention Gu Rong getting furious, Chen Xin blew his fuse and glared: "Damn it, who needs a daughter, I'm not having kids in the future!"
Girl: "Oh please, you think—"
The girl's voice abruptly stopped, she suddenly fell silent.
She had clearly not finished what she was saying.
Chen Xin frowned: "Keep talking, why have you stopped?"
Just then, Gu Rong suddenly widened his eyes in shock, quickly pointing at the sight within the blue glow to Chen Xin's right.
"What's going on? Why have all the light spots disappeared in this blue light?"
Chen Xin glanced with his peripheral vision and was also stunned: "Could it be..."
At that moment, Lin Yi explained: "You just had the thought of not wanting children, so on the other end, your daughter disappeared."
"Damn it, that won't do, I... I want kids, isn't wanting a daughter enough? I'm changing my mind now."
Chen Xin quickly said.
Right after he finished speaking, all the light points in the blue glow restored themselves, and the girl's voice could be heard again.
Girl: "What just happened..."
Chen Xin: "You believe me now? Just because I had a fleeting thought of not wanting children, you disappeared... A mere thought almost led me to lose my lineage."
Seeing the girl silent again, Chen Xin started to boast somewhat smugly: "See, your dad can easily control your life and death, impressive, right? Believe me now?"
Girl: "I believe you, but how is it done? Is Lin Yi really real?"
Chen Xin: "Of course, he's real. But I still want to ask, how did your Uncle Gu Rong die?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong pricked up his ears; there was nothing more curious and thrilling than hearing about one's own cause of death.
Girl: "But if Uncle Gu Rong is also here, wouldn't it be bad to talk about his specific future?"
Gu Rong: "It's okay, you have my permission to speak."
Girl: "Uncle Gu Rong didn't die a natural death, he was killed by a woman. Dad didn't want to upset me, so he didn't tell me much, I only know it was a woman who killed him."
A woman?
Gu Rong was truly stunned; he did not believe he had any entanglement with any woman.
The situation suddenly took on a mysterious air.
Gu Rong: "What else do you know about this woman, tell me everything you know."
Girl: "I don't know, I only know it was a woman, maybe someone Uncle Gu Rong was dating? It happened when I was very little, I remember Uncle Gu Rong had someone he liked at that time."
It seemed to provide some useful information.
Gu Rong swallowed hard, silently retreating, seemingly lost in thought.
Taking advantage of the moment, Chen Xin immediately asked: "Kid, what's your mom's name? Tell me."
After inquiring about Gu Rong's matter, this was what he cared about the most now.
However, there was a long silence on the girl's end.
