Strange and Dum became fellow apprentices, and they loved each other ever since. They would also spend all sorts of happy learning times together in Kamateki. Ah! A memorable learning life!
Li Jie silently wished Strange well. As for whether Strange was willing to accept this blessing?
Sorry, I didn't hear it clearly. Not willing to accept this blessing? Was that possible? No way! After all, he was now learning how to become a super powerhouse from the strongest person on Earth.
Sorcerer Supreme. What a sacred word! God knows how many people would break their heads for this position. For example, Dum. Of course, Dum should be breaking Strange's head, not his own.
Alright, to prevent Dum from breaking his own head, this was also a test on the road to becoming a Sorcerer Supreme, wasn't it? People had to go through trials and tribulations to grow.
Li Jie had no intention of looking at Strange's smirking expression. Or rather, even if he did see it, Li Jie would pretend he didn't see it.
Because Li Jie had more important things to do.
"Dum! Can I borrow your X-gene testing equipment? "Li Jie shouted at Dum, who was" communicating "with Strange.
At this time, Dum was teaching Strange that as a junior, he should listen to his senior obediently. For example, "If I don't give you something, you can't take it." Things like that.
After hearing Li Jie's words, Dum, who was in the middle of teaching his senior brother about love, glanced at him, then took out a square box from under his armor and tossed it to Li Jie.
"You need to connect it to a monitor to see the reading. I think you know how to do it," Dum said to Li Jie.
"Thanks!" Li Jie waved at Dum, but Dum didn't even look at Li Jie. He was still "communicating" with Strange. It wasn't until Ancient One's personal servant, Wong, who was also Kamateki's Head of Internal Affairs arrived that the two of them separated from their deep conversation.
Strange's face was about to turn pale, but because he was a very fair-skinned Caucasian, this degree of paleness could not be seen by others.
As for Ancient One, Li Jie greeted her and held Lan's hand as they prepared to leave. Of course, if Ancient One asked Lan to stay, she would have to do her homework for Kamateki. Li Jie had already thought of an excuse.
However, it seemed that Ancient One had no such intention. He just watched Li Jie and Lan leave Kamateki with a meaningful smile.
As for Li Jie, why was he in such a hurry to leave? Was there a need to ask? Even Strange had fallen into Magneto's trap. Li Jie could not guarantee that his parents would not fall for it. They were taking vitamin pills on a regular basis.
"I hope big companies like Amway and Nutrilite don't buy Magneto's fake medicine for cheap." Li Jie prayed. At the same time, he asked Lan to go back to his villa first, and he went back to his parents' house first.
Today was a day off, and the bank was not working. Li Jie's father, Li En, and his mother, Jasley Lee, stayed at home.
It was now November, and sitting in the backyard in the windless autumn afternoon and reading in the sun was Li Jie's father, Li En's hobby.
His mother, Jasley, was playing with some of the flowers she had planted in the backyard. And Grandpa Li Rong needed to keep an eye on the restaurant even on his day off. This was something that couldn't be helped.
"Good afternoon!" Li Jie saw such a scene when he returned home.
"Oh, isn't this my son? I haven't seen you for a long time. I always thought you were kidnapped, but I never received a ransom request from the kidnappers. I was wondering if they had already killed the hostage. " Li En, who was sitting on a recliner and reading "Rise of Mars", glanced at Li Jie from behind the book and said so.
"Thank God, it turns out that you weren't kidnapped. You just forgot the way home. Next time, do you need me to draw a map and hang it on your chest and write the number 999 for help in case you can't find the way? "
Well, this is Li En complaining that Li Jie didn't go home for a long time after moving out. Li Jie could only hold his forehead and helplessly said to his father, "Please Dad, I'm an adult now!"
Hearing Li Jie's words, Li En immediately jumped up and said in an extremely angry tone, "You can call me Dad, Dad, Father, or even directly call me by my name. But if you dare to add the word 'old' in front of these titles, see if I don't tear your mouth apart! I'm only forty-four years old, I'm not old at all! "
Well, to be fair, Li En does not look old. Proper exercise and a healthy diet, coupled with a regular schedule. This made Li En's body belong to the strong group of ordinary people. If one said that he was in his early thirties, people would believe it.
Facing the angry old … um … dear father, Li Jie naturally could not use any violent means to make him sit down. He could only comply and said, "Okay, okay, young and handsome Mr. Li En. Please don't be so angry, okay? "
Meanwhile, Li Jie's mother, Jasley, put down the gardening tools in her hand, washed her hands and walked over. She pinched her husband, Li En, who was angry with his son, and said, "Can you not be so angry? Jie is already an adult, he has his own life. "
Mrs. Jasley was of mixed English Saxon and Latino descent. She had beautiful long blonde hair and a healthy wheat complexion. Her facial features were deep and three-dimensional, and she was a woman with classical European beauty.
As for Mrs. Jasley speaking up for him, Li Jie could only thank God that he still had a good mother. Li Jie sighed in his heart.
Mrs. Jasley then said, "And hasn't he been living with a girl named Lan recently? How far have you guys progressed? To be honest, I don't mind you getting married now, but I don't want to be a grandmother so early. Jie, do you understand what I mean? "
Li Jie slapped himself on the forehead. He didn't know how to respond anymore. Nightcrawler, who was originally sharp-tongued and whose skills in shifting the blame to others had soared. Once he returned home, he would always be flustered by his parents' mixed male and female beatings.
In the end, Li Jie could only say that he would make dinner today to avoid this awkward atmosphere.
At dinner, Li Jie talked about mutants. He had not used the mutant detector yet because Li Jie wanted to know what his parents' attitude towards mutants was and what they thought.
"Mutants?" Li En used a fork to pick up a sausage. "Speaking of which, I remember that Richard's child is a mutant. His ability is quite good."
"Hmm?" Li Jie was a little puzzled. "Is it your colleague's Richard? Why didn't I know that his child was a mutant? "
"Because he had just awakened recently. In fact, Richard was quite surprised at first, but then he was quite happy. Because his somewhat forgetful chubby son's forgetfulness is finally gone, "Li En said with a smile.
Mrs. Jasley also nodded. "He probably awakened an ability to enhance his memory, but it just happened to cancel out Richard's son's original amnesia. This can be considered a cure for his disease. You have to know that it's even difficult to study with amnesia because you immediately forget what you've learned. "
After Li Jie finished eating the sausage, he said, "So son, why are you asking this? And why are you showing such an expression? Are you discriminating against mutants? "
"No, of course not! I don't discriminate against anyone! "Li Jie immediately put away his somewhat surprised expression and ate two mouthfuls of broccoli to calm himself down.
Li En looked into Li Jie's eyes and said seriously, "Remember, son, we are a minority in this country. The discrimination against minorities has never decreased. The era when you grew up was already much better. "
"You don't know how difficult it was for me to enter a good quality private school or church school when I was your age. Even though your grandfather's restaurant was already making a lot of money at that time, there were still people who chased you out when you waved US dollars."
"This world has always been unequal. Discrimination doesn't just happen in the United States. It can happen in any corner of the world because of religion, race, color, political orientation, or even just because you live in the south of the city and I live in the north of the city. People in the south of the city will discriminate against people in the north of the city. "
"So from that time on, I made up my mind to work harder to shut up those who looked down on me. I didn't go to a private school or church school. I went to a public school and got into a university with a full scholarship. I can work at Citibank and even reach the management level. " Li Jie put down the knife and fork in his hand and patted Li Jie's shoulder with one hand as he spoke in a sincere tone.
"There are many people in this world who will discriminate against you and hate you because of all kinds of problems. But remember, don't spread this chain of discrimination. You can't stop others, so you need to start with yourself. All discrimination and injustice will end with you! I hope you remember, son. "
Mrs. Jasley, Li Jie's mother, reached out and held Li Jie's other hand. She looked at Li Jie with a tender and sweet gaze, then turned to Li Jie and said, "Jie, you've grown up. You also know a lot of things. I just hope that you can learn from your father in some ways. "
"You can be glib-tongued or occasionally indecent, but deep in your heart, you must remember that you must stick out your chest and be an upright person."
Mrs. Jasley reached out and patted Li Jie's other shoulder and said, "This is more important than any wealth in the world. Because being born human is the greatest gift from God. Don't let this world down. "
Li Jie looked at his parents and smiled.
Perhaps the birth of Nightcrawler was hereditary.
