161: Chapter 161 Real and False Parents

The school bell was still ringing.

In the deepest part of the Inverted Fourth High School, classroom doors opened one by one.

Behind the doors stood rows of "parents."

The men wore old jackets.

The women wore aprons.

Their faces were all Jiang Jianguo and Liu Cuilan.

They were expressionless.

Standing in rows in the sky, they looked down at Dongjiang City.

At the very front, the woman in the black dress held a textbook, her voice echoing through both schools.

"The home visit begins."

"Target: Jiang Feng's family relationships."

"First stop: Tianshu Dragon Garden."

Li Yan's scalp tingled.

"They actually dare to go there?"

Xiao Zhenjiang raised his hand, and the Huaxia military immediately deployed a blockade.

"Everyone, hold the perimeter of Dongjiang City."

"Don't let those things land in residential areas."

Zhang Changlin's expression darkened as well.

"If they all have the faces of Jiang Feng's parents, ordinary people won't be able to tell them apart at all."

Zero Seven looked grim.

"The inability to distinguish them is exactly the problem."

"First Blue Star doesn't necessarily have to defeat Mr. Jiang in a fight."

"It only needs to make Mr. Jiang's family members doubt each other to strike at his roots."

Li Yan grit his teeth.

"This move is truly filthy."

Jiang Feng stood at the entrance of the Inverted Principal's office.

The fifth earth key quieted down in his palm.

Five fragments formed a semi-circle of blue light.

Four more to go.

He looked at the group of fake parents but didn't rush to move.

Zero Seven couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Jiang, aren't you going back?"

Jiang Feng said, "I am."

"But first, let's see how they perform."

Li Yan was stunned for a moment.

"You're watching this like a play?"

Jiang Feng glanced at him.

"The enemy is revealing their moves; it saves us from guessing later."

Li Yan shut his mouth.

That made sense.

It just sounded a bit terrifying.

...

Tianshu Dragon Garden.

Liu Cuilan had just swept the broken mirror into a trash bag.

The faucet was gone.

The mirror was shattered.

The old wooden box in the bedroom had also been rummaged through.

Looking at the mess everywhere, she got angrier the more she saw.

"What is all this mess?"

Jiang Jianguo walked in carrying a toolbox.

"Stop cleaning for a moment; Xiao Feng said he'd be back to fix it soon."

Liu Cuilan glared at him.

"He's fixing it?"

"He couldn't even hold a screwdriver properly since he was a kid."

Jiang Jianguo thought for a moment.

"He should be able to hold it steady now."

The Dragon Girl sat on the sofa, holding hawthorn water, and whispered, "Grandmother, Master is very powerful now."

Liu Cuilan sighed.

"Powerful or not, doesn't the kitchen faucet still need replacing?"

The Dragon Girl nodded seriously.

She understood this.

No matter how strong one was, they still needed water to drink.

Just then.

The doorbell rang.

Ding-dong.

The three people in the room stopped at the same time.

The Dragon Girl's vertical pupils constricted, and the Purple-Gold Dragon Shadow behind her almost burst out.

Jiang Jianguo gripped the ruyi heaven-breaking staff.

Liu Cuilan frowned.

"Who is it now?"

A voice came from outside the door.

"Cuilan, it's me."

Liu Cuilan was stunned.

That was Jiang Jianguo's voice.

She looked back at the real Jiang Jianguo.

Jiang Jianguo's face darkened.

From outside the door, another woman's voice rang out.

"Is Xiao Feng home?"

"Mom brought him some food."

Liu Cuilan recognized it.

That was her own voice.

The Dragon Girl, holding her bowl, froze completely.

"Grandmother, there are two of you outside."

Liu Cuilan put down the broom.

"Don't open it."

Outside the door, it was silent for a second.

Then, the sound of a key being inserted into the lock rang out.

Click.

Click.

The security door opened a crack on its own.

Outside the crack stood a man and a woman.

The man looked like Jiang Jianguo.

The woman looked like Liu Cuilan.

She was even carrying a bag of steaming hot ribs.

Fake Liu Cuilan smiled and said, "Cuilan, we've come to see the child."

Liu Cuilan stared at the bag in her hand.

"You made that?"

Fake Liu Cuilan nodded.

"Braised ribs, Xiao Feng's favorite."

Liu Cuilan sneered.

"My son likes sweet and sour ones."

The two people outside stopped simultaneously.

The Dragon Girl whispered, "That cover was blown fast."

Jiang Jianguo gripped his staff and took a step forward.

"Get out."

The fake Jiang Jianguo looked at him.

"You are merely a temporary father."

"Jiang Feng's true paternal source is within the First Blue Star."

Jiang Jianguo didn't speak.

He raised his staff and smashed it down.

Boom!

The whole building didn't shake.

Because the Dragon Girl immediately propped up a Heavenly Dao barrier, suppressing all the aftershocks at the doorway.

The staff smashed onto the fake Jiang Jianguo's head.

The fake Jiang Jianguo didn't shatter.

His body turned into a thin sheet of blue paper, then puffed back up.

"Violence cannot resolve a home visit."

"Please, parents, sit down for a talk."

In the living room, the coffee table moved on its own.

Four chairs appeared out of thin air.

Words were written on the backs of the chairs.

[Father's Seat]

[Mother's Seat]

[Child's Seat]

[Teacher's Seat]

Liu Cuilan was furious.

"Who gave you permission to enter my house?"

Fake Liu Cuilan smiled.

"A home visit has the right to enter the residence."

"The child's affiliation needs to be reconfirmed."

The Dragon Girl was about to pounce.

Outside the door, Jiang Feng's voice rang out.

"Who gave you that right?"

Everyone turned around.

Jiang Feng was standing in the hallway.

Gray T-shirt, slippers.

He was still holding the fifth earth key in his hand.

He had come back from the Inverted School without a speck of dust on him.

Fake Liu Cuilan looked at him.

"The rules for home visits are established by the First Blue Star."

Jiang Feng walked into the house.

"This is my home."

He raised his hand and tapped on the doorframe once.

Thump.

The four chairs split apart on the spot.

A System notification popped up.

[Home visit entry rule encountered.]

[Plunderable.]

Jiang Feng said, "Plunder."

[Plunder successful.]

[Gained all attributes: 7 Ji.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 220 Ji.]

Beside the pit at the Fourth High School.

Zero Seven saw the prompt through the projection, and her mouth twitched.

Attributes increase during class.

Attributes also increase during home visits.

It seemed the First Blue Star was here to deliver tutoring materials.

The fake Jiang Jianguo's expression changed.

"You dare to disrupt the home visit process?"

Jiang Feng looked at him.

"You dare to bring your process into my home?"

He took a step forward.

No Divine Ability.

No dharma idol.

He simply raised his hand and pressed down on the fake Jiang Jianguo's shoulder.

The fake Jiang Jianguo's body turned into blue paper again, trying to escape.

Jiang Feng's fingers clenched.

The blue paper was held firmly.

"My father is Jiang Jianguo."

"A photocopy like you is of too poor quality."

Bang!

The fake Jiang Jianguo exploded into blue paper scraps.

The scraps didn't scatter.

They were all absorbed into Jiang Feng's palm.

[Plundered Pseudo-Father Authority Fragment.]

[Gained all attributes: 6 Ji.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 226 Ji.]

Jiang Jianguo watched this scene and remained silent for two seconds.

"The word 'photocopy' is quite accurate."

Liu Cuilan also nodded.

"The face is similar, but it lacks your father's air of being overly fastidious despite being poor."

Jiang Jianguo: "..."

Was that a compliment?

Fake Liu Cuilan took half a step back.

Her face began to turn stiff.

"Liu Cuilan, you will regret this."

"First Blue Star can provide Jiang Feng with a much greater future."

"All you can give him is a bowl of rice."

Liu Cuilan picked up the hawthorn water on the table and handed it to the Dragon Girl.

Then she looked at her.

"Is a bowl of rice not good?"

"When a child is tired from being outside, coming home to a hot meal is enough."

Fake Liu Cuilan said coldly, "Low-class."

Jiang Feng's eyes turned cold.

He raised his hand and grabbed Fake Liu Cuilan by the throat.

"Low-class?"

"You things have never even given me a single bite of food."

"And you dare to talk about being a mother?"

Fake Liu Cuilan's face cracked.

A blue, empty face was revealed inside.

"The fifth key has been returned."

"The home visit is only the first step."

"The sixth key will be unlocked through the paternal relationship."

Jiang Feng's hand paused for a moment.

Jiang Jianguo's brow furrowed.

"It has something to do with me?"

The blue empty face laughed.

"Jiang Jianguo, eighteen years ago, you signed a paper in the hospital."

"You thought it was a birth certificate."

"In fact, it was a Paternal Rights Promissory Note."

Liu Cuilan's expression changed.

"What promissory note?"

Jiang Jianguo was stunned.

"I did sign a birth form."

"The nurse asked me to sign it."

The blue empty face's voice grew louder.

"The sixth earth key is hidden within that piece of paper."

"Location: Dongjiang City Old People's Hospital."

"Department: Abandoned Delivery Room."

Jiang Feng looked at it.

"You're being quite cooperative."

The blue empty face stiffened.

Jiang Feng exerted force with his fingers.

"Now that the clue is given, you're useless."

Bang!

Fake Liu Cuilan shattered completely.

[Plundered Pseudo-Mother Authority Fragment.]

[Gained all attributes: 7 Ji.]

[Current basic six-dimensional attributes: 233 Ji.]

The living room fell silent.

The Dragon Girl, holding her bowl, blinked.

"Master, is the home visit over?"

Jiang Feng glanced outside the door.

At the end of the hallway, a row of fake parents still stood.

They were packed densely.

But they did not enter the door again.

Because a line of words had appeared on the doorframe.

[No entry without permission from family members.]

This was the home visit rule Jiang Feng had just snatched.

He had turned around and modified it.

Jiang Feng said, "It's over for now."

Liu Cuilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she looked at Jiang Jianguo.

"What did you sign back then?"

Jiang Jianguo looked innocent.

"Doesn't everyone have to sign when a baby is born?"

Liu Cuilan glared at him.

"Didn't you read it clearly?"

Jiang Jianguo coughed.

"You were screaming in pain in the delivery room; how could I have the heart to look closely?"

The words Liu Cuilan was about to say were swallowed back down.

That was true.

Jiang Feng looked at the two of them.

"I'm going to the old hospital."

Liu Cuilan immediately said, "Eat before you go."

Jiang Feng stopped.

"Okay."

The Dragon Girl's eyes lit up.

"Then I'll eat too!"

Liu Cuilan patted her.

"You just finished your hawthorn water."

"You can still eat?"

The Dragon Girl nodded seriously.

"I can."

Jiang Feng sat down.

It was as if the things that had just broken into the house weren't high-dimensional monsters, but just a few salesmen who had come into the hallway.

But at the same time.

Dongjiang City Old People's Hospital.

Inside the Abandoned Delivery Room.

A yellowed birth certificate slid out of a filing cabinet on its own.

On the paper, the three characters of Jiang Jianguo's name slowly bled.

In the blank space next to it, a new line of text appeared.

[Custodian of the Sixth Key: Jiang Jianguo.]

[Home Visit Second Stop: Father's Signature Confirmation.]

[If the individual refuses, mandatory execution.]
