Chapter 042 The so-called non-denial is equivalent to default
Before I knew it, the week flew by.
With the joint efforts of all countries, the World Health Organization's Epidemic Prevention Committee finally announced that it has ruled out the possibility that this worldwide human mutation event was caused by vectors such as bacterial viruses, and the mutation is not contagious.
In this way, those unlucky people around the world who have been quarantined can finally go home.
After signing a confidentiality agreement, twelve students who had followed Ivan to complete the heroic feat of breaking out of the occupied area, unexpectedly left the isolation room without anyone paying attention, and then met their parents outside the isolation area.
In an instant, most of these once strong and brave warriors, like other students who were also quarantined, rushed into the arms of their parents crying.
As for Ivan, who had no relatives, he was dragged directly into the car by Mu Feng, who was holding Xue Li.
Returning to the Martial Arts Hall, Alvin and Xue Li were instantly surrounded by Rand and other relatives, and they began to greet each other. As for Qianwei, she rushed out and hugged Xue Li without letting go.
"Xueli, you're back now, I'm worried to death!"
Looking at the senior sister whose eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, who had obviously not had a good rest for many days, and even had dark circles under her eyes, Xue Li, who had already calmed down, suddenly turned red and burst into tears.
"Senior sister, I miss you so much..."
Looking at the two "sisters" hugging each other, Mu Feng, who was obviously much more haggard than a week ago, said happily.
"Just come back, just come back safely..."
After patting his daughter and adopted daughter, the father turned to look at Alvin.
"Ewen, Xue Li told me, it's all thanks to you this time."
Recalling the dangers Xue Li described to himself, he couldn't help but feel scared.
After all, his friends in the police station often told him how dangerous those monsters mutated from humans were.
In such a critical situation, Alvin, who has been working hard to protect Xueli and keep his baby daughter unscathed in the crisis, is undoubtedly a great benefactor to his family!
If the arrangement for Alvin to have contact with his daughter before was motivated by some selfish motives, then now he really wants to entrust his daughter to the young man in front of him.
After all...chaos is coming.
No one is a fool, and Mu Feng knows very well that if the problem of mutation cannot be fundamentally solved, it is almost certain that the social order will fall into chaos in the future.
In troubled times, nothing is more important than safety. If he could only choose between his family's inheritance and his daughter, Mu Feng would rather choose to let his daughter live out her life safely.
"Xueli, you and Qianwei go back first, and everyone else should stop hanging around here and go home! Alvin, come with me."
"Okay, host."
Aiwen nodded and followed Mu Feng to the empty training ground.
Perhaps due to the chaos caused by the mutation event, it looked like no one had been to the training ground for a while, and there was even an obvious layer of dust on the floor.
Sensing Ai Wen's gaze, Mu Feng pulled a futon and patted the dust while explaining:
"Since the accident happened a week ago, the government has called on everyone to stay home as much as possible, so the gym has simply stopped. Linna also submitted her resignation letter the day before yesterday, and I heard she is returning to her hometown."
Ai Wen nodded, then imitated the other party's example and took a futon, patted it, and then sat in front of Mu Feng.
Upon closer inspection, he suddenly discovered that this man who was once calm and steady, and who always brought invisible pressure to people even though he often had a smile on his lips, was really much older.
Her short black hair, which was always neatly taken care of, has now not only become messy, but even a bit of white appears on the temples.
What were once just a few wrinkles at the corners of the eyes have become deep and eye-catching, and the deep eyes are bloodshot and turbid.
Even when he was sitting there, he was still as tall as a pine tree, but the heavy traces of time could not be concealed.
More importantly, Alvin keenly felt the change in his mentality.
The soul that once harbored ambition and sharpness is no longer sharp, and even has a hint of twilight.
In short, after this incident, Mu Feng's mentality has become old.
And while Aiwen was observing Mu Feng, the father was also observing him.
Unlike himself who was weakened by fatigue and worry, the boy who had always been optimistic about him, and even regarded him as the successor and son-in-law of the school, had obviously grown more than before.
Sitting there, the young man obviously became more and more calm, but the sharpness between his eyebrows increased instead of decreasing, like a peerless sword with half of its blade exposed, making people realize his extraordinaryness in an instant.
"The momentum has been established, and the future is limitless!"
Making an evaluation in his mind, Mu Feng suddenly made up his mind completely.
He spoke slowly:
"Evan, thank you for your help to my little girl. As a warrior and a father, I would like to express my gratitude to you again."
Seeing the master of Tugu Guan getting up, Aiwen hurriedly stopped him.
"You are serious, this is what I should do!"
"Master, you have always taken such good care of me, and it is only right that I help Xue Li."
After all, Alvin finally persuaded the other party.
After Mu Feng gave in several times, he no longer insisted. Instead, he took out an oil paper bag from his arms and gently pushed it in front of Alvin's eyes.
"In this case, Alvin, please accept this."
"Master, what is this?"
"You'll know just by looking at it."
Glancing at the mysterious Master Mu, Ivan thought for a while and picked up the oil paper bag.
This thing is obviously a bit old, and the oil paper itself has a unique color of age.
Opening the package, there was a hand-written, thread-bound book inside.
Opening the page carefully, Alvin was immediately surprised by the content inside.
This is actually an ancient "martial arts secret book"!
"Feiyu - Dawn, this is a sure-kill technique created by our Mu-style ancestors, and it is also the highest secret inheritance of the Mu-style lineage. Although... no one has been able to really learn it for a long time."
Mu Feng sighed, then looked at someone with burning eyes.
"But you are so talented, it is possible to learn this secret skill, even if you just have some understanding, it would be good."
When Alvin heard this, he quickly put down the book.
"This is too valuable! Please take it back!"
Just kidding, he doesn't care about secret martial arts skills. After all, these things are all rubbish in the face of system skills.
Therefore, it is obviously not possible to take away the top secrets of other people's sects out of favor.
However, when faced with someone's rejection, Mu Feng immediately smiled.
"Hahaha, I think this should be okay...right, Sydney?"
A certain deer lying quietly outside the door was suddenly startled.
"Being, discovered?"
Panicked, she subconsciously wanted to run away, but after some hesitation, she obediently opened the door and walked in.
"dad…"
Looking at her father timidly, Xue Li regretted it to death.
She was actually just ordered by Qian Wei to come down and call her father and Ivan for dinner.
But after waiting at the door for a while, she couldn't hold back her curiosity, so she approached the door to hear what was being said inside.
As a result, as soon as he got close, his father discovered him.
In fact, it was not only Mu Feng who discovered Xue Li, Ivan also discovered the cute little deer when she came down the stairs, but he just deliberately pretended not to know.
"Haha, my precious daughter, daddy wants to discuss something with you."
At this moment, the owner of Mufeng Pavilion was smiling like a weasel about to steal a chicken.
And his next words made Xue Li stand up immediately.
"What do you think of Alvin? How about I betroth you to him?"
"dad!!!"
Xue Li's face instantly turned red. She subconsciously glanced at Ai Wen and found that someone was looking at her with a smile on her face. She suddenly felt a rush of blood rushing to her brain, and her whole body was buzzing.
Out of the human instinct to escape when faced with something that is unbearable, she fainted completely like a small animal that found a cheetah. She turned around and ran away in panic. She even tripped on the stairs and almost fell down.
"Haha, this kid."
Mu Feng watched her daughter disappear around the corner of the stairs with a smile, then stood up and stretched.
"You've been chatting with me, an old guy, for a long time. You must be hungry already, right? Come on, let's go eat."
The owner of the museum didn't mention what happened just now, and didn't pay attention to the secret book at his feet. He hummed a song with his hands behind his back and walked towards the stairs calmly.
Ai Wen looked at him, hesitated, and finally picked up the secret book and put it away solemnly.
Some things don't need to be said so clearly.
But from this moment on, many things are completely different...
