Chapter 122 – Sun Aotian's Thoughts

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

"Let's go. This dinner party is ruined anyway. First, your Old Brother will arrange a place for Brother Wen Yu to rest."

After Zhang Wenhu finished speaking, he led Wen Yu and Sun Ruixing outside.

Sun Ruixing, seeing Sun Aotian lying miserably on the ground, couldn't bear it. He hoisted Sun Aotian onto his shoulder and followed Wen Yu out.

Wen Yu walked slowly through the Settlement with Zhang Wenhu.

It was clear that Zhang Wenhu was quite capable. The Settlement hadn't suffered any chaos despite the change in leadership; the streets were clean, and life seemed orderly.

After all, since Wen Yu had defeated the Zombie King, the overall environment of Chaihe Town had become quite friendly for the Survivors!

"Younger Brother Wen Yu, after I arrived here, I often heard Zang Pengfei and the others talking about your great name. I knew that with your strength, you definitely wouldn't fall in a mere Treasure Land. I haven't touched a single thing in the place where you used to live. Furthermore, that room belongs to you from now on! If you ever get tired of venturing outside, come back and rest. Your Old Brother's doors are always open to welcome you!"

As Zhang Wenhu finished speaking, the group arrived at the door of the room Zang Pengfei had originally arranged for Wen Yu.

Zhang Wenhu opened the door and made a "please" gesture toward Wen Yu.

Wen Yu stepped inside and looked around.

Not only had the environment inside the room remained unchanged, but there were also clear signs of regular cleaning.

"You've really put a lot of thought into this, Old Brother."

Wen Yu nodded to Zhang Wenhu.

"It's only right!" Zhang Wenhu said with a face full of smiles.

"Then your Old Brother will take his leave. Oh, and I must apologize to young Aotian on behalf of my worthless son."

Having said his piece, Zhang Wenhu walked straight out without waiting for a reaction from Sun Aotian.

"This man is truly not simple!" Wen Yu remarked with sincere admiration.

Setting aside his manner of speaking and acting, Zhang Wenhu had handled the matter of this house perfectly.

In Wen Yu's absence, everything related to Wen Yu had been properly preserved. This was done to build goodwill and simultaneously nip any potential excuses for Wen Yu to find fault in the bud!

Everything was handled flawlessly.

The only flaw was the incident with Bai Feifei.

According to Wen Yu's estimation, this was likely a typical case of a son causing trouble for his father. Zhang Wenhu's heart was probably still racing, and Zhang Lifei was undoubtedly in for a severe scolding later!

"Let's leave tomorrow. This man's scheming is a bit terrifying," Sun Ruixing said to Wen Yu as he placed Sun Aotian on the sofa.

"Mhm."

Wen Yu nodded.

In terms of sheer calculation and schemes, Wen Yu was definitely not strong. Consequently, he hated playing mind games with others, and he hated it when others played them on him.

Unless necessary, Wen Yu didn't want to have much contact with someone like Zhang Wenhu.

"Wen Yu-Ge."

The one speaking was Sun Aotian, who was lying on the sofa.

Wen Yu turned his head and carefully inspected the wounds on Sun Aotian's body.

"That kid Zhang Lifei has a Physical Attribute of about 40 Points. It's higher than yours, so it's normal that you couldn't beat him. Besides, with the Physical Attribute of a Level 2 Class Holder, these wounds will heal on their own in less than a day even without a Healing Potion."

"That's not what I'm talking about, Wen Yu-Ge. I want to ask you to kill them!"

The hatred in Sun Aotian's voice was incredibly intense.

Only then did Wen Yu observe the look on Sun Aotian's face.

It was a mask of desolation and dejection. Clearly, the double blow to his body and spirit had caused Sun Aotian to break down.

Ultimately, he was still just a child with an extreme lack of social experience!

But what did any of that have to do with Wen Yu?

"No."

Wen Yu shook his head decisively.

Setting aside the fact that Wen Yu had no desire to cause unnecessary trouble, based solely on Zhang Wenhu's attitude toward him and the nature of the situation itself, it was impossible for Wen Yu to step in and kill them!

Hearing Wen Yu's answer, Sun Aotian sat up straight. He grabbed Wen Yu's hand, his eyes rimmed with red.

"Wen Yu-Ge, I'm begging you!"

Looking into Sun Aotian's tear-filled eyes, Wen Yu's heart…

Suddenly felt a wave of disgust!

He was acting!

Sun Aotian was putting on a performance!

Up until now, Wen Yu had always felt that Sun Aotian was like a child-sometimes lacking a few brain cells, sometimes suffering from a bit of chuunibyou, and other times lacking self-confidence.

But Wen Yu had consistently overlooked one thing.

How could someone like that have become the "Tian-Ge" of the Camp back then? How could he have stood his ground against Zang Pengfei?

A sixteen or seventeen-year-old in times of peace could hardly be called a child anymore!

Under the massive flow of information from the internet, people of that age knew everything they should know, and even things they shouldn't!

Looking at Sun Aotian's pleading gaze, Wen Yu suddenly found the whole thing tedious.

He pulled his hand directly from Sun Aotian's grip and turned to walk toward the bedroom.

There was no need to say anything else, nor was there any need to get angry.

Wen Yu just found it interesting, in a way.

He had never truly considered Sun Aotian one of his own.

And Sun Aotian had likely never truly thought of him as the "Wen Yu-Ge" he so frequently addressed!

Exploiting Wen Yu's power was this person's most fundamental goal!

"People… where exactly has the trust gone?"

Accompanied by Wen Yu's muttering to himself, the bedroom door was slammed shut.

"Sigh, Tian, what am I going to do with you?"

Sun Ruixing sighed and shook his head, walking toward the other bedroom.

Clearly, with Sun Ruixing's life experience, he had also seen through the facade!

That left Sun Aotian sitting alone on the sofa, his face twisted into a hideous grimace!

Glaring hatefully at Wen Yu's closed door, Sun Aotian spoke in a voice so low it was barely audible.

"I've been fucking playing the grandson in front of you for so long! And yet, when I ask you to help me with one little thing, you act like this."

As the words left his mouth, the hatred in Sun Aotian's eyes grew more intense!

To say that Sun Aotian felt no hatred after being cuckolded and then brutally beaten by the man who did it would be completely unrealistic!

But after Wen Yu's refusal, that hatred fermented more violently in Sun Aotian's heart, even slowly shifting toward Wen Yu himself!

Clearly, Sun Aotian had selectively forgotten the many ways Wen Yu had looked after him during the Treasure Land Trial!

People were always like this. The saying that 'a small favor breeds gratitude, but a large favor breeds resentment' was certainly not without merit!

"And that bitch Bai Feifei! And that piece of trash Zhang Lifei! They all deserve to die!"

The hatred in Sun Aotian's heart grew stronger and stronger.

Slowly closing his eyes, Sun Aotian sank into thought.

After a long while, Sun Aotian shook his head bitterly.

"In the end, my strength is still too far off. There's no good way to handle this!"

Sun Aotian had a bit of cleverness, so he wasn't the type to strike a stone with an egg.

For now, he suppressed this hatred deep within his heart!
