Silin knew that Gen Liao was very agitated. He didn't loosen his grip on Silin's collar even after he had jumped onto the flying car. Moreover, his legs had been trembling ever since he sat down. It was obvious that he was in a hurry and didn't want to deal with the people chasing after him.
In the affiliated schools, no matter whose flying car it was, except for the flying cars driven by the campus patrol team, which were allowed to exceed the speed limit under certain special circumstances, other people were not allowed to do so. However, not only did Gen Liao increase his flying car's speed to its maximum, he even took a few shortcuts to minimize the distance between two points. Gen Liao turned a deaf ear to the campus patrol team and a bunch of Urawus that were following behind him.
Perhaps it was because the school patrol team and the enforcement robots were too annoying, but Gen Liao directly contacted the higher-ups of the affiliated schools. He didn't care what the other side of the call would say. He cut off the call right away and ignored the angry faces of the people on the other end of the line.
Half a minute later, the campus patrol team and the law enforcement robot were retrieved. Therefore, when the group of people from the affiliated school saw the flying car flying past them without any regard for order, they all had the same thought: Why aren't there any pursuers?
Many people in the affiliated schools had raced before and were often hauled away by the school patrol team and the enforcement robots for punishment. But this flying car was too f * cking arrogant!
Some of the students even sent a video of the incident to the affiliated schools' main surveillance center to report it, but all of them shut up when they saw the flying car.
When Gen Liao drove the flying car to the port, a large spaceplane with the Gen Family's insignia was already waiting for him. The door opened, and Gen Liao drove the flying car inside. The spaceplane quickly took off.
Gen Liao didn't loosen his grip on Silin's collar even after he got off the flying car and walked into his private lounge. It was as if Silin would run away the moment he let go. He didn't say anything or explain himself. His violent aura made it clear to everyone who saw Gen Liao that the former King Fuji was in an irritable and impatient mood. No one was stupid enough to walk up to him and get scolded.
The spaceplane flew directly to the territory of the Gen Family in the imperial capital. There was a planet there where King Fuji's manor was located. The people living on that planet were all important figures of the Gen Family, such as Gen Liao, Gen Xingchen, and Gen Xingming.
The planet where King Fuji's residence was located was called Planet Fuji. From space, the entire planet appeared green, like a forest, and also like a lake. It looked full of life.
The spaceplane landed in a corner of the palace. Gen Liao couldn't wait to drag Silin back to a courtyard inside the palace.
The courtyard was Gen Liao's residence after he retired. It wasn't far from the current King Fuji's residence, and it was the most heavily guarded place. Although the guards were curious about Cillin's identity, they kept their expressions serious and focused when they saw Gen Liao dragging Cillin into the courtyard. Although the guards were curious about Cillin's identity, they didn't bother to look to the side.
There was a thick tree inside Gen Liao's courtyard. It was a tree that Silin was very familiar with. He had come into contact with it since he was a child. It was called Fuji, the Upper Tree. It was similar to the one in Genya's courtyard, but this one was much thicker and more lush. It was a far cry from the one Gen Liao had seen before.
Gen Liao dismissed all the servants and left the courtyard to his trusted aides.
He finally let go of Silin, and Silin rubbed his neck. He didn't even need to look to know that there was a mark on his neck. The old man might be old, but he was strong enough to wring a person like a chick.
Gen Liao pressed a switch on the wall, and a green pool appeared on the ground. Gen Liao took out the coffin and carefully placed it into the pool.
As soon as the coffin came into contact with the water in the pool, a large amount of air bubbles appeared around the originally tightly sealed coffin. The lid of the coffin loosened at the same time.
Cillin stared at the pond without blinking. She seemed to have sensed what was going to happen next, and her emotions rippled in a rare way.
The gray cat carefully poked its head out from Cillin's shoulder. The old man's series of excited actions earlier had left the gray cat unsure of how to react, so it could only grab Cillin tightly and allow itself to be brought to this place. Since the old man didn't say anything and didn't toss it out, and the guards outside didn't react, the gray cat naturally followed them to this place.
Of course, Huimao was aware of the changes in Silin's heart rate, so it was curious as to what the old man was going to do.
Huimao already knew that there was a person lying inside the coffin. Was the old man going to perform an autopsy?
Plop —
The lid of the coffin finally broke free from the bottom and floated up. The boiling water pushed the lid to the side, revealing the person lying inside.
The person soaking in the pool looked exactly the same as he remembered. He looked very peaceful, just like when Silin had placed him in the coffin. The only difference was that Silin could sense Genya's life force.
No wonder Genya had asked Silin to bury him like this. No wonder …
Gen Liao jumped into the pool with trembling hands, took out a tube and injected it into Genya's body. Genya's life force quickly returned to normal after the injection, and his heartbeat grew stronger and stronger.
Genya hadn't died yet. It was just that Genya had caused his metabolism to almost completely stop in the past, putting him in a state of suspended animation. However, under the stimulation of this plant hormone extracted from the Fuji tree, his stagnant metabolism would restart. As long as he was taken care of properly, his bodily functions would gradually recover.
Gen Liao tossed the empty tube to the side and made a sound that sounded like he was crying and laughing at the same time.
Gen Liao's back was facing Silin, so Silin couldn't see his expression. However, he could sense his emotions from the rhythm of his breathing.
Both of them were in the same mood.
Genya floated up from the pool, and Gen Liao carefully placed him into a recovery pod. The pod would automatically provide the optimal ratio of air and nutrients according to the patient's physical condition and physiological needs.
Cillin and Gen Liao watched quietly from the side. Neither of them made a sound, and the only sound in the room was the sound of the healing pods and the sound of Wheeze scratching itself with its head tilted to one side.
An hour later, the indicator light of the recovery pod turned from red to green. It was also at this time that Genya opened his eyes.
The lid of the recovery pod opened, and Genya's eyes darted around to see the two people in front of him. At first, he was a little dazed, as if he couldn't see them clearly. However, his eyes gradually adapted to the light and regained their ability to see.
"Silin …"
His voice carried the hoarseness of someone who had just recovered from a long illness, but it was as amiable as before. Time seemed to have returned to the courtyard filled with memories. He was lying on the wooden rocking chair under the Fuji tree, making the chair creak as it swayed. In the fine light that sprinkled through the gaps between the leaves, he slowly muttered.
Silin, help Master get a bottle of alcohol, something strong …
Silin, help Master massage his back. He's getting old, and it's easy for his back to hurt after lying down for too long …
Silin, help Master …
Silin was so touched that he wanted to cry when he heard that voice again after so long. He covered his burning eyes with his hands, but he couldn't help but look through the gaps between his fingers at the person lying in the recovery pod.
It's so good to be alive.
Huimao blinked and looked at the person lying in the pod. Then, he looked at the old man with a dark expression and bulging veins on his forehead. He wagged his tail and chuckled inwardly. The old man had been ignored!
Gen Liao was furious. Hadn't he rushed back to the Gen family from the affiliated school in order to revive Genya as soon as possible?
The bastard was still as heartless as he was when he was young! Gen Liao wanted to bang his head against the wall the moment he opened his mouth. He was expecting Genya to call him "brother" in excitement, but he didn't expect Genya to call him "Cillin" instead. In that moment, Gen Liao felt like he had been reduced to the background of a black and white sketch.
Genya's gaze finally landed on Gen Liao, whose face was contorted in anger. He was silent for half a minute before he finally called out "Big Brother" in a questioning tone.
Genya was still young when he left, and Gen Liao was still in the prime of his youth. Who would've thought that the next time they met, they would both be old men. But blood was a strange thing. Even though they were both old and far from their youthful selves, it was still easy to feel the bond of blood at first glance.
Genya smiled before Gen Liao could answer. He was now sure that the person standing in front of him was his own older brother, Gen Liao, who had been raised as the heir.
So many years had passed, and Gen Liao hadn't succeeded to the throne yet. Now that they met again, Gen Liao had already stepped down.
Although Silin really wanted to chat with Genya, judging from the current situation, it was better for him to back out. Some secrets were brought up again, and it wasn't convenient for Silin to listen to them.
"Silin, I'll come find you later," Genya said to Silin.
"Alright."
Silin carried Huimao out the door. The guard at the door glanced at Silin and was about to question him when Gen Liao's voice came from inside the house. "Take him to rest!"
An old servant walked over with a wide smile on his face. He led Cillin to another room in the courtyard to rest.
"Silin, I didn't expect your master to be a member of the Gen Family. He's royalty, and the younger brother of the old King Fuji. Hehe, we won't have to worry about money in the future!"
Silin: "..."
Silin was treated very well in this place. The old servant who served Gen Liao treated Silin like he was his own grandson. Although he was an old servant, he had served Gen Liao for a very long time, and his status in the Gen Family was very special. Sometimes, the side branches of the Gen Family had to use honorifics when they saw the old servant. Even Gen Xingming didn't dare to order the old servant around. It was obvious how rare it was for the old servant to treat Silin like this.
It was already the next day when Silin saw Genya again. Genya talked about the ownership of the ring. Although the ring could only be owned by someone of noble status and the Gen Family's bloodline, it was still a matter for the older generation. Gen Liao didn't object to Genya's decision to leave the ring to Silin.
Without Silin, today's reunion wouldn't have happened, so Gen Liao was very grateful to Silin.
After Genya left, he wandered the world for a very long time. He never married, and he didn't have any descendants even now. Although technology could be used to create a descendant, it wasn't something that could be produced in a short period of time.
The fact that Genya left the ring that symbolized his extraordinary status in the Gen Family to Silin instead of his own descendant meant that Silin's special status was officially recognized.
This meant that Silin had a status that was even more special than the old servant in the Gen Family. Apart from the fact that he didn't have the right to inherit the throne, he was treated the same as Gen Xingming and the other princes, if not better. After all, Silin had two elders who were even older than him standing behind him.
Genya used to own a large manor, but he didn't live there for long before an accident happened. Now that he was standing in this manor again, he felt a deep sense of nostalgia.
From this day onwards, Genya and Silin would live in this manor. If Genya passed away in the future, everything here would be inherited by Silin. Genya left more than half of his subordinates and belongings to Silin. The rest of the things that were too close to the Gen Family were given to Gen Liao. After being away for so long, Genya was no longer competitive. He had spent the best years of his life wandering the world, and he was content to return to the place where he started before he truly passed away.
There was a thousand-year-old Fuji Tree in the manor that covered half of the yard. It was like an enlarged version of the courtyard in his memory.
Genya once said that Fuji Trees were sentient. They were more like a species that existed between an animal and a plant. Although Fuji Trees didn't move around as often as the plants that Silin had seen before, they basically wouldn't move away after taking root in one place. They stood there for hundreds of thousands of years.
In the entire Empire, Fuji Trees would only grow luxuriantly where the Gen Family lived. Even if they were transplanted to other places, even if they were provided with superior conditions, they would never grow as well as the Gen Family's Fuji Trees.
There were many thousand-year-old Fuji Trees similar to the one in the courtyard on the planet where Prince Fuji's manor was located. They were luxuriant with leaves, and it was hard to tell that they had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. However, they had indeed lived through the vicissitudes of life. They had witnessed the Gen Family's development over the past thousand years, the passing of generations, the retirement of the older generation, and the rise of the new.
Cillin supported Genya and walked in front of the Fuji Tree. Its thick trunk and sturdy roots showed just how long it had been alive.
Genya stared at the courtyard and the ancient tree in his memory for a long time. They had caused hundreds of years of time and space to condense here.
Outside the courtyard, there were interwoven roads and pavilions that rose continuously. There were also flying cars and aircrafts in the sky. It was a dazzling sight.
Genya had only just recovered from a long illness, so he returned to his room to rest after a short walk in the courtyard, leaving Silin to walk the cat in the courtyard.
Huimao was very excited. He jumped from branch to branch like a pine tree, sometimes swaying on a branch and rushing to the top of the tree to enjoy himself.
"Silin! Silin! " Huimao ran over excitedly and jumped onto Silin's shoulder. "Does that mean we're rich now?!"
Of course, Huimao knew that Genya had left a lot of his assets to Silin. Huimao used the word "we", which was a very subtle word. It seemed like this guy had always tied himself to Silin. If Silin was rich, it was rich too, because whatever it wanted, Silin would buy.
Huimao started thinking about what it wanted to buy. Fish biscuits and all-fish combo weren't what Huimao wanted the most right now. What Huimao wanted the most was a fish pond.
Huimao's wish came true the next day. It mentioned it to Yun Ye during dinner that night. So, the next day, when it jumped out of the window and was about to stretch, it found a fish pond.
It was a 200-square-meter fish pond that Genya had ordered to be built overnight. With the help of the digging robots, the pond was completed in one night. Currently, there were some fish swimming leisurely in the pond. Huimao circled around the pond, patrolling his territory.
After some thought, Huimao rolled the egg that he hadn't eaten all this time over, grabbed it, pushed it, and pushed it directly into the pond.
"This egg needs to hatch, doesn't it? Will the egg hatch if we just push it in like that? "Yuan Xingming asked from not far away.
After learning that Silin had become a member of the Gen Family, Gen Xingming decisively skipped class and went home under the pretense of visiting his elders.
"Really?" Huimao flicked his ears when he heard Gen Xingming's words. Then, he jumped back into the pond unwillingly and tossed the egg back up.
Gen Xingming was very worried that the egg would break when he saw Huimao tossing it around like a ball.
"Oh right, I heard that your teacher is pretty angry, Silin." Gen Xingming turned to Silin.
Many people knew that Guan Feng had a bad temper. He might look friendly normally, but it was very difficult to calm down once he was angry. Many people were guessing how Guan Feng would deal with Silin after what had happened to Silin. After all, it was a publicly known secret that Guan Feng and the Gen Family didn't get along. This was why none of Guan Feng's students were related to the Gen Family. However, Silin was an exception this time.
Right now, Guan Feng's students were spread all over the major forces. The Gen Family was the only exception in the past, but that exception was gone now. Countless people were waiting to see Silin make a fool out of himself.
Silin wasn't worried about this. Guan Feng wasn't stupid, and there were many things he knew about Silin and the Gen Family a long time ago. However, the fact that Guan Feng hadn't expressed his opinion or told Silin to cut ties with the Gen Family meant that Guan Feng didn't mind it at all. He wasn't like everyone else. The fact that Gen Liao was allowed into his house meant that Guan Feng wasn't completely cut off from the Gen Family.
Genya walked over slowly and smiled when he heard Gen Xingming and Silin's conversation. "Guan Feng, that guy's still as awkward as ever. It's been so many years, but he still can't let it go."
