Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 1018: The Abridged Version of Life

"Brother Xiao Fei, Sister-in-law Fei, greetings!" Yuwen Qi greeted politely.

"Speaking of which, my brother-in-law is also called Ah Fei. In that sense, we could consider ourselves family. Besides, you two are old friends of Brother Wenli and Junjun, so you are also my friends. There’s no need to be formal; just treat this place as your home."

Yuwen Luanfei looked at Yuwen Qi’s face directly, his heart overwhelmed with emotions.

He finally understood why this young man had always seemed so familiar. If his guess was right, this should be Prince Heqing’s youngest son, the one known as the Jade-faced Young Noble, Yuwen Qi, shouldn’t it?

Yuwen Qi had lived in his granted domain since childhood. By the time he was old enough to visit the Imperial Capital with Prince Heqing and see his mother, Yuwen Luanfei already had his own domain and rarely returned to the capital.

Thus, he wasn’t very familiar with this little cousin, only occasionally hearing that the boy resembled the Good Fortune Child often depicted beside the Bodhisattva.

Now that he saw, it was indeed true—the child did bear an uncanny resemblance to the deity’s youthful attendant, with an ethereal aura surrounding him. His personality, too, seemed purely kind and warm-hearted.

Thinking about how his own blood relatives were less amiable than this cousin, Yuwen Luanfei’s emotions grew complicated. Facing Yuwen Qi, he merely nodded politely without saying much.

At this moment, Li Wenli didn’t concern himself with whether these two relatives would acknowledge each other. He continued, with unwavering dedication, to spin his tale.

"Later, when we arrived at the Imperial Capital to pay respects to our family elders and conduct rituals for them, we accidentally discovered that the Abbot had been taken hostage. Only afterward did we learn that this temple had already been infiltrated by traitors, and the monks there were no longer true monks.

We reported this to the Second Prince, who sent troops to destroy the place. After completing our rituals, we withdrew."

"???" Yuwen Luanfei’s eyes widened in disbelief.

No, he hadn’t done any of this! Back then, it was clearly these two who told him to do nothing and just wait for the outcome. But now, it had somehow turned into him being responsible for everything???

He hadn’t done a thing! This so-called heroism felt entirely unjustified.

Yuwen Luanfei knew the truth, but others didn’t. Regarding Yuwen Luanfei’s purported feats, others felt regretful about his fall and thought him praiseworthy in certain aspects.

For instance, helping take down Fahua Temple was indeed quite impressive.

Bai Junjun nodded in agreement.

"Isn’t that the truth? It’s not easy to find such a generous sponsor nowadays. All we did was pass along some information, and he gave us so many rewards. He even invited us to Ying County as guests when he found out we were leaving.

Searching for a suitable spot to settle, we traveled from Ying County to the Three-Branch Junction and then to the Ownerless Land. Just after finding a decent place, we received troubling news that chaos had broken out everywhere. These two friends sent a homing pigeon message, saying they didn’t want to keep wandering during such turbulent times, so we went to pick them up. Afterward, we encountered you."

Finally reaching the part about his own appearance, Yuwen Qi became so excited he joined the conversation enthusiastically: "Speaking of, our meeting was quite incredible. That day, my men and I were preparing to stir up trouble, feigning a crushing defeat before staging an escape. Who would’ve thought we’d run into Brother Wenli and Junjun at the City Lord’s Mansion? They helped us tremendously."

"That day, we were originally planning to gather intelligence to plan our next move. We never expected to run into you quite so fortuitously," Li Wenli replied with a smile.

And just like that, Li Wenli and Bai Junjun relayed all the experiences they had during this period, giving those concerned about them a clear picture of events.

Then it was Yuwen Qi’s turn to explain what had happened on his end.

Yuwen Qi didn’t hold back, and he began recounting his own story in detail.

Back then, after reuniting with his sister, he had been sent over to this side.

The barren forest outside Yán City.
