Chapter 1451 Simply Curious

1451 Simply Curious

After spending nearly the entire day touring the city without any disturbance, their peace was finally broken when someone on the street recognized them.

”H-hey! Look over there! Isnʼt that Player Yuan?!” Someone there suddenly blurted out loud in the busy street.

This single sentence caused nearly every head there to turn left and right until they also noticed Yuan.

”Holy shit! Itʼs actually him!”

”Are you sure thatʼs really him? What if heʼs another imposter and only pretending to be Player Yuan with an appearance-

altering pill?”

”Thatʼs what I thought at first, but look at that pretty lady beside him! Thatʼs Yu Rou, his little sister!”

”What if sheʼs also an imposter?”

”Who would be insane enough to put so much effort into pretending to be Player Yuan?”

”You have no idea…”

Due to the changes in the world, it became a common habit for many to doubt the identity of influential people, especially Player Yuan, who was at the very top of the list of celebrities nowadays. In fact, it was a miracle that heʼd managed to spend an entire day with Yu Rou without being noticed.

”Are you really Player Yuan?! Please tell me youʼre not fake!”

”Can I have your autograph, please?!”

”I am your number one fan, Player Yuan!”

”Please shake my hand!”

Nearly everyone on that street rushed to meet Yuan, instantly encircling him and Yu Rou.

”Ah… I should have worn my mask…” Yuan sighed.

”This is why I rarely come outside nowadays…” Yu Rou shook her head.

Her popularity and fame had reached heaven long ago just by being Yuanʼs little sister. While she has her own accomplishments and charms, they paled in comparison to being his little sister—blood-related or not.

”Yu Rou, grab my hand.” Yuanʼs voice suddenly resounded in her head.

She didnʼt question it and immediately grabbed his hand.

The next moment, both of their figures began levitating off the ground and hovered above the surprised crowd.

”Heʼs flying! Heʼs definitely the real Player Yuan!”

”That doesnʼt prove anything. Anybody can reach Spirit Grandmaster nowadays with enough money…”

”Fuck, how can someone be this distrustful? I wouldnʼt be surprised if you doubt your own identity!”

Yuan ignored the crowd and flew away with Yu Rou, quickly disappearing from the rowdy scene.

”This reminds me of that one time when we sneaked outside to play at a nearby park, only for you to be recognized by someone. If we hadnʼt started running immediately, your fans would have surrounded us. In the end, weʼd only managed to play less than five minutes at that park.” Yu Rou chuckled as she recalled some of her earlier memories.

Yuan smiled and said, ”I also remember being scolded to hell and back for that little stunt.”

After a moment of silence, Yu Rou muttered, ”Our parents… I wonder where they are now and what they have been doing since they disappeared from our lives. What about you, Brother Yuan? Do you often find yourself wondering about them?”

Hearing her question, Yuan responded calmly and detachedly, ”To be completely honest, I havenʼt thought of them even for a split moment since our last meeting. However, now that you mentioned them, I guess I am a little curious about their whereabouts. But donʼt misunderstand. I am simply being curious, not caring.”

Hearing no response, Yuan shifted his gaze to look at Yu Rou, who had an air of melancholy around her, alongside a pondering expression on her face.

”If youʼre worried, I can try looking for them.”

”I-I am not worried about them! They are terrible people who donʼt deserve to be cared about!” Yu Rou exclaimed with a look of denial on her face.

Yuan smiled and said, ”Itʼs okay if you do. I wonʼt blame you or hate you for it. After all, they are still your parents by blood.”

However, Yu Rou adamantly shook her head and said, ”I truly am not worried about them, Brother Yuan. Just like you, I am simply curious about their situation.”

After a brief moment of silence, she continued, ”Though, perhaps deep within my soul, I still have some feelings for them…”

Yuan chuckled, ”It wonʼt take too much effort to look for them. There is only so much space for them to hide in this tiny place, after all.”

”Itʼs fine, really. If we are fated to encounter each other again, we will definitely see them in the future. I will leave it to fate.”

”Fate, huh?” Yuan muttered in a low voice and didnʼt say anything else.

The two of them remained quiet until they returned to the Eternal Lotusesʼ headquarters a few minutes later. As they drew nearer to the headquarters, Yu Rou noticed that it was a little rowdier than usual during this time of the day.

”Thereʼs so many people gathered at the front gate. Something mustʼve happened.” Yu Rou pointed at the group of people standing outside the front gate with a worried frown on her face.

Yuan stopped their movements and hovered in the sky to learn more about the situation before sticking their noses into it.

At a glance, there were two distinct groups, with Bai Lianhua leading one and a robust young man leading the other. They appeared to be in a heated conversation.

”Are you going to continue hiding in your headquarters forever, Eternal Lotuses?! Our Fiery Locust Swarm challenged you to a ranking match! Since we are ranked lower than your faction and within 10 ranks, you must accept it, or Eternal Lotuses will automatically lose its current rank to us!” The person in front of one of these groups shouted out loud.

Bai Lianhua sneered in response, ”If you want to talk about hiding, why donʼt you tell your master to get out of her hole and come face us personally instead of sending a bunch of goons to my front door? Youʼre dirtying our beautiful home with your unwanted presence!”

”Looks like the Fiery Queen is messing with us again…” Yu Rou sighed after understanding the situation.

”Fiery Queen…” Yuan mumbled as he held a pondering expression.
