Tang San and Xiao Wu, having heard Zhou Sidong's revelation about the true nature of Shrek Academy, decided to postpone their plan to go to Soto City.
Watching Zhou Sidong's retreating figure, Yu Xiaogang gnashed his teeth in fury, clenching his fists and feeling an unprecedented rage.
Zhou Sidong was clearly trying to sabotage him. He had finally managed to persuade Tang San and Xiao Wu to go to Shrek Academy, but then Zhou Sidong had to go and do this, completely ruining Yu Xiaogang's plans.
"Master! What were you thinking?"
Xiao Wu questioned angrily, hands on her hips. This rabbit was quick-tempered, and although she respected Yu Xiaogang, it was only because Tang San was her brother.
"Teacher, why did you do this?"
Tang San asked, equally puzzled, his voice filled with deep doubt.
Yu Xiaogang felt a chill run down his spine, his heart filled with anxiety, unsure how to explain himself.
...
Night had fallen, and Zhou's Blacksmith Shop closed early.
Because Zhou Sidong's family was about to move, Zhou's Blacksmith Shop had been open in Notting City for many years, and it was time for it to end.
Father Zhou reluctantly glanced at the "Zhou's Blacksmith Shop" sign one last time, then sighed and put it in a box, treating it as a memento.
"Son, come here for a moment. Your mother and I need to talk to you about something."
Zhou Shijie beckoned his son inside.
Zhou Sidong nodded and followed his father. He noticed his mother holding a box. The box looked quite old, with rust stains everywhere, even the lock was rusty.
"Open it."
Father Zhou took the box from Yang Lixia and then solemnly handed it to Zhou Sidong.
Zhou Sidong was puzzled, but he still followed his father's words and opened the box.
What came into view, there were a total of three things inside the box.
A hair tie inlaid with a crystal-clear Amethyst.
A Gold Card.
A Jade Pendant, and it seemed there were words on the Jade Pendant.
Only three items.
"What are these?" Zhou Sidong picked up the Jade Pendant and looked at it. On both sides, his name, "Si" and "Dong," was engraved.
The amethyst-studded hair clip lying quietly in the box felt familiar to Zhou Sidong, as if he'd seen it before.
As for the Gold Card, Zhou Sidong picked it up with a puzzled expression, then was shocked by the enormous amount displayed on it!
Ten million!
A Gold Card with a face value of ten million!
When did our family get so rich!
"This was found in the tomb back then," Yang Lixia said, her expression complicated. After concealing it for so many years, she finally revealed what had happened back then.
"Tomb!"
Zhou Sidong's pupils contracted. He immediately thought about the origin of these three items: this amethyst hair clip, the Gold Card with a face value of ten million, and this Jade Pendant engraved with "Si" and "Dong," which were his burial items!
Placed there by his biological mother, Bibi Dong.
Zhou Shijie sighed. "Back then, your mother and I were both high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall. I was the chief of the Spirit Hall's blacksmith shop, and your mother was the second-in-command of the Spirit Hall's healing department. Your mother and I fell in love in our later years, but we never had any children. To be honest, you... are not my and your mother's biological child, but an infant we dug out of a tomb on a dark and stormy night."
At this point, Zhou Shijie felt relieved. This secret had been weighing on his heart for twelve years, and now that he had finally confessed to his son, he felt a lot less pressure.
"Son, please forgive your father and me for not telling you sooner. We were afraid you were too young to handle the shock, so… we kept putting it off until now." Yang Lixia's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at her silent son, who was lost in thought. Her heart ached.
Zhou Sidong forced a bitter smile. In fact, he had known about his true parentage six years prior, and had even met his birth mother through the function of traversing parallel spacetime.
But that was Bibi Dong from a parallel spacetime, not the Bibi Dong of this spacetime.
Over the years, Zhou Sidong had become familiar with everything around him and considered his adoptive parents as his own. They treated him like their own child. Zhou Sidong wasn't a beast; he had always silently remembered his adoptive parents' kindness.
"Thank you for telling me all this," Zhou Sidong said. He put the box away, then stepped forward and embraced Zhou Shijie and Yang Lixia. The three of them said nothing, simply hugging in silence, creating a scene of great peace and warmth.
Zhou Sidong's tears flowed as he smiled, "Even so, even if I'm not your biological son, I will always be your son."
Zhou Shijie's eyes were moist, and Yang Lixia was brimming with tears.
After the embrace, Zhou Shijie recounted everything that had happened back then, not missing a single detail.
"Because we were tired of the monotonous life in the Spirit Hall, your mother and I discussed it. Eventually, after saying goodbye to our teacher, we left the Spirit Hall under the cover of night. As we were walking through a dense forest, we suddenly noticed that the ground beneath our feet was a little loose, as if it had been recently turned over. And we could faintly hear a child crying from beneath the soil."
"Your mother and I made an immediate decision, and resolutely overturned the layer of soil, revealing a coffin before us. After opening it, we found you, wailing loudly. At that time, we, as a couple, were puzzled. Why would someone bury you alive when you were clearly alive and well? What kind of parents could be so cruel! The situation was special at the time, and since we had no children of our own, we eventually took you away, adopted you, and have been caring for you as our own son ever since."
"And then?" Zhou Sidong asked impatiently.
Zhou Shijie paused, then continued, "After that, you grew up, and twelve years have passed in a flash, and you've grown up. As for the three items your mother gave you in the box, the hair clip inlaid with Amethyst is a Soul Tool, used for storing items."
"This is a Soul Tool?"
Zhou Sidong opened the box and took out the Amethyst hair clip. At this moment, Zhou Sidong finally understood what it was.
This is the hair clip from the parallel space that his mother, Bibi Dong, used to secure her braid. No wonder it felt familiar. So that's it.
Zhou Sidong injected a wisp of Soul Power into the Amethyst hair clip, then placed the box in front of the Amethyst hair clip. Sure enough, the box disappeared.
With his mother's Soul Tool, Zhou Sidong naturally took it with him. He copied his mother, sweeping his long purple hair behind his head and securing it with the Amethyst hair clip.
It actually suited Zhou Sidong quite well.
Watching this, Zhou Shijie nodded and then said, "As for the Gold Card with ten million Gold Soul Coins, I believe one of your parents put it there. We don't know why, but rest assured, your mother and I haven't touched a single coin. It's all yours."
"Finally, there's this Jade Pendant engraved with your name. This is also the true origin of your name."
The three items that originally belonged to Zhou Sidong were officially back in his possession.
