1032 Not Giving Face
A middle-aged man suddenly appeared and snatched the pills Xue Fanxin had given Zhou Xiaotong. Furthermore, after snatching it, he opened it on the spot. Seeing that the bottle was filled with top-grade beast spirit pills, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. He was still talking to himself excitedly, as if the pills were his.
“Haha… It’s actually the legendary Beast Spirit Pil, and it’s even a top-grade Beast Spirit Pill. What a good thing! My luck today is really good. I can obtain such a good thing just by taking a walk.”
As the middle-aged man spoke, he wanted to put the Beast Spirit Pills into his interspatial ring.
When Xue Fanxin saw this, she immediately stopped him. “These are our Beast Spirit Pills. Aren’t you being too shameless by putting it in your interspatial ring?”
However, the middle-aged man said self-righteously, “Do you have evidence that these Beast Spirit Pills are yours? If you don’t, then it’s an ownerless item. An ownerless item belongs to whoever snatches it. This is the rule of the Nether City. Don’t you understand?”
These words rendered Xue Fanxin speechless.
If she really wanted to prove that these Beast Spirit Pills were hers, she could just refine it on the spot.
However, she did not want to be so high-profile, or there would be even more trouble.
However, she did not want to suffer this loss, so…
Just as Xue Fanxin was thinking about how to deal with the matter in front of her, the middle-aged man suddenly stared at Zhou Xiaotong. He rushed up to him in shock and looked at his face carefully. The more he looked, the more excited he became. “Child, is your mother’s surname Chai? Chai Yan?”
“How did you know? Could it be that you know my mother?” Zhou Xiaotong’s question indirectly admitted that his mother was called Chai Yan.
“Child, I’m your second uncle! You look exactly like your father. Just based on this extremely similar appearance, I can confirm that you’re his child.”
“Second Uncle?”
When did he have a second uncle?
Zhou Xiaotong had already returned to his original appearance. After crossing the Netherworld River, the effects of the Face Changing Pill would pass.
Because she had already crossed the Netherworld River, Xue Fanxin did not give Zhou Xiaotong the Face Changing Pill anymore. Before she could think about this, an inexplicable person suddenly appeared to acknowledge him as a relative.
This relative’s recognition was too real. If not for the fact that the other party could clearly say Zhou Xiaotong’s mother’s name, she would definitely think that this was fake.
But it was far more than that.
After the middle-aged man said Zhou Xiaotong’s mother’s name, he revealed some secrets. “Does your mother have a jade pendant with a beast claw mark on it? On the other side of that jade pendant is the word Zhou.”
Zhou Xiaotong then took out the jade pendant the middle-aged man had mentioned. It was really as he had said. One side of the jade pendant was engraved with the mark of a beast claw, and the other side was engraved with the word Zhou.
“You’re really my second uncle?”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’m your second uncle, Zhou Tianxiang. Back then, the Zhou family suddenly suffered an unforeseen event. The family sent away quite a few of the elderly, the weak, women, and children. Later, the situation stabilized, and those people were slowly picked up. Only your mother and you disappeared. All these years, your father and the family have been searching for you and your mother, but there’s been no news until now. I didn’t expect to meet you here. Child, where’s your mother?”
“My mother died of illness a few years ago.”
“Sigh…”
At this moment, Xue Fanxin was already completely certain that the middle-aged man in front of her was Zhou Xiaotong’s second uncle.
But even Zhou Xiaotong’s second uncle could not casually snatch her pills.
“Since you’re Xiaotong’s second uncle, return the pills to him,” Xue Fanxin said bluntly. Her tone was a little unyielding, not giving Zhou Tianxiang any face.
She had never liked people who casually stole other people’s property.
