New discovery

  Duan Zhixiu originally wanted to go along with his wife, but things had already come to this point, and of course he couldn't let Duan Chufan go crazy and ruin the engagement banquet between the two families, bringing shame to their family. Upon hearing his mother's words, he couldn't help but look at his father hesitantly. Duan Zhixiu never understood these twists and turns, nor could he figure out what his parents were thinking. If they had been kind to Duan Chufan before because of the possibility that he might become a contract partner, then why now?

  "Dad?"

  Duan Wenyu's temperament was stubborn, if he hadn't had two sons and a daughter, his second son would have died early due to mental breakdown. This dull eldest son, he didn't want to look at him anymore. No matter how good the luck is, what's the use of not having a brain!

  "Bivis, you explain it to them."

  Bai Wei's expression remained unchanged as he put away the recorder, his tone steady as he explained: "The Seventh Young Master was born of a contract, and even if it's just to let other contractors know, our Duan family will never abandon a child who has lost their contractor's protection and has no future prospects. We'll even treat him well and make sure he has food and clothing. This way," he looked at the Third Madame Bai Jinglan in front of him, his words laced with meaning: "the Eighth Young Master's search for contractors will be even smoother."

  Bei Jinglan furrowed her brow, deep in thought. She hated Chu Jia for snatching away Duan Zhi Xiu, but even more so, she detested Duan Chu, the living proof of her husband's betrayal. However, her son Duan Ya Yan was her only hope. As a high-ranking pharmacist, without a contract holder, it meant forever losing the chance to advance to a higher rank for ambitious warriors like him.

  Duan Ya Yan is a premature awakened congenital warrior, as long as there is a suitable contractor, he may become a congenital seventh-level warrior like San Fang Shu, independently operating large warships and making great achievements. Such talent cannot be wasted, even if it means letting Bei Jing Lan humble herself to Duan Chu for a while, she is willing to do so, let alone just providing material support.

  Duan Ya Qing wanted to say something, but after all, she was a younger generation and still feared her grandparents. She could only look at her father Duan Zhi Xiu with hope. Now she deeply hated Duan Chu Jian and would not rest until she had trampled him into the mud.

  "But Uncle Bi, with our Duan family's status and Ya Yan being exceptionally talented, as long as his mental strength is sufficient, do you think the other party would be unwilling?" Duanzhi Xiu asked in confusion.

  He had no objection to keeping Duan Chu, but thinking of Duan Chu going out and speaking nonsense, he couldn't help but worry. Especially if they were to return to the capital planet, it would be a pity that the rumors that had dissipated with time would be stirred up again because of Duan Chu, and he might be exiled once more.

  "Is it necessary to ask? Third Master, have you forgotten that you had an affair, fathered a illegitimate daughter, and drove your wife to death, forcing the head of the Duan family to personally send the second mistress of the Duan family to Ivisa planet to appease the dissatisfaction of the Coterie towards the Duan family? Any Coterie would not want to see their children living in humiliation due to low spiritual strength after they die. If Seventh Young Master is locked up for life, the second mistress of the Duan family will never have a Coterie, and even the entire Duan family may be ostracized by the Coterie."

  Duan Wenyu was even more furious, saying he was stupid, and it's absolutely right!

  Qiong grabbed her husband, and the couple had only one son in front of them. Although he was a bit stupid, he could still be good, especially since they had just had a capable grandson. However, because their son was not promising, she couldn't help but scold him with a cold tone:

  "Do you think that all contractors are foolish and only choose those with good family backgrounds?" Qiong's face was full of disdain: "Contractors' awakening is not limited by the level of spiritual power, ordinary people with C-level or lower spiritual power values make up the majority, so there are more contractors. Will they only care about choosing warriors from good families? Who doesn't know that door-to-door comparison is just a facade, their own spiritual power value is low, and the children they give birth to have a certain probability of inheriting their parents' spiritual power value, which no one can control. There are many people like Little Seven who are D-level, do you think anyone dares to treat them poorly? Is the Contractors Guild just for show?"

  She glared at Bai Jinglan with a fierce gaze, her tone becoming overbearing and rude: "I know you hate me for opposing your relationship back then and choosing Chu Jia as Zhi Xiu's wife. But even if you're now a high-level pharmacist, you can only avoid the explosion crisis caused by Zhi Xiu's combat exhaustion, but he'll never have the chance to upgrade to level 7 and become a great general again. Now it's your turn, are you willing or not to let your son choose an ordinary person with high spiritual power? Your son is still a congenital warrior!"

  At first, Duan Zhixiu was able to marry Chu Jia, which completely benefited from her efforts and the early death of his second son. To know that even if the contractor's spiritual power value is low, unless it is a childhood sweetheart, it is extremely rare for a contractor to choose to become a postnatal warrior! Otherwise, why would Meng Jia, the eldest grandson of the Meng family, agree to engage with Duan Yaqing? Because he is a warrior who relies on evolution agents to transform, and is also a postnatal warrior with only B-level spiritual power, which is not even comparable to Duan Zhixiu's.

  Bei Jinglan's eyes flashed with a hint of shame, her face turned pale and she shook her head, but couldn't say anything in opposition. She had also thought the same as her husband, believing that relying on Duan Aoyan's talent, the power of the Duan family, and her own position as a high-level pharmacist, as long as his mental strength matched up, Duan Aoyan would absolutely not have to worry about not having a contract holder.

  After all, there were too few contract holders for the second house of Duan's family, only his mother-in-law Qiong had one. However, all four congenital warriors in the third and fourth houses had contract holders. Even the first house, where the old master had passed away early, both congenital warriors had found suitable contract holders. With Duan Yayun's high innate talent, how could he not have a suitable one?

  That Duan Chu, indeed cannot die, still has to be lively and active in front of people!

  Bei Jinglan's eyes flickered, and she bit her lip, speaking in a low voice to Qiong and Duan Wenyu: "Dad, Mom, it was our fault for not thinking things through earlier, and those rumors also scared me. Don't worry, Xia Qi is after all Zhi Xiu's child, and now that he's been so seriously injured, I'll definitely adjust the medicine to help him recover as soon as possible. If he's interested in learning about medicine, I'll teach him personally, just like I taught Ya Qing."

  As soon as Duan Zhixiu heard his wife's words, he thought of her being pregnant with Ah Yan and being driven by rumors to have nowhere to escape, day and night, and his heart softened. He stretched out his hand to hold hers which was lightly trembling, and also promised his parents that he would take good care of Duan Chu. It was indeed him who hadn't thought it through before, letting Duan Chu get hurt. How could he not be like this? As long as he didn't keep thinking about Meng Jiaxi like before, he would still take care of him like before.

  Duan Zhixiu intended to wait and explain to Duan Chu that the eldest son did not like to talk, but he had always been obedient and respectful to him as his father.

  Duan Wenyu's face was cold as he looked at Bevis and nodded slightly.

  Bai Wei smiled slightly and followed behind Duan Zhi Xiu's family, leaving the second floor and heading directly to Seventh Young Master Duan Chu's room.

  On the other hand, Duan Chu shifted his attention to the card tray of etiquette norms after Preys left. Whether this card tray is insulting or not, it is a treasure for Duan Chu. To understand an unfamiliar survival environment and social form, there is nothing more suitable than systematically mastering the norms and etiquette of this social form.

  All the malicious words and heartbreak expressed by Duan Chuyi before were just to test Duan Zhiyu's attitude towards Yuanyu, hoping to stir up a little guilt in him. Bei Jinglan and her mother are destined to be enemies, but even if Duan Zhiyu had an affair, he is still YuanYu's father, so even if they despise him as a waste, they would not want to kill him. Otherwise, Duan YaQing wouldn't need to put on an act in front of Duan Zhiyu.

  As long as Bai Jinglan and Duan Yaqing have concerns in their hearts, they will definitely not dare to take his life by violent means. At least for now, he is still safe. As for later, Duan Chu would certainly not wait for them to make a move.

  When the warning light turned yellow again, Duan Chu smiled slightly and closed the holographic display without hesitation. However, when she saw her grandfather's most trusted assistant standing at the door, Duan Chu couldn't help but be surprised.

  Although the real Duan Chu has collapsed and lost his life, from an outsider's perspective, mistakenly taking a mind-clearing agent is not too serious and would not alarm that high-ranking general. But since Biweis appeared at this time, it cannot be a private visit.

  "Lord Bevis!" Duan Chu got out of bed and went to the ground, performing a standard Ivisa planet ritual with a worried expression, speculating about the other's purpose. If it was just to inform him that he would continue to be confined and not allowed to attend the engagement banquet, Pres could have conveyed it, why did they need to send the highest-level butler of the Duan family?

  "Seventh Young Master is being polite." Bais said with a gentle smile, it seems that Duan Chu is indeed still resentful about the card disk sent by Duan Zhi Xiu. He didn't have much contact with Seventh Young Master Duan Chu, but he also knew his humble and timid personality. Is this because of regret for stealing the evolution agent to use, or is it due to the previous dispute with Eldest Miss Duan Ya Qing, fearing that it would bring about General's scolding?

  "Seventh Young Master, the General wants to communicate with you, but since you're not feeling well, we'll use holographic projection instead. When would be a convenient time for you?" Bivis deliberately slowed down his voice, not only to avoid startling Duan Chu, but also to remind him to compose himself.

  Duan Chu didn't add any disguise to the surprise on her face, and immediately lowered her head, saying "Mm" and said: "Now!"

  Bai Wei furrowed his brow in thought, recalling Duan Yaqing's previous accusations. Could it be that she really wanted to cut off all ties?

  He raised his hand and wiped the blue wristband on his arm, and Duan Chu found himself standing in front of a man and a woman as if he had been teleported. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Duan Wenyu and his wife Qiong.

  "Grandfather, Grandmother!" Duan Chu bowed his head in greeting, his face looking rather unnatural.

  Duan Wenyu immediately noticed Bevis's hint and thought of that careless son, unable to help but scold: "How dare you, you have the nerve to sneak into the lab, quarrel with your own sister, and even scold the Bai family together, yet you don't even dare to lift your head?"

  He was suppressed by his younger brother in the Warrior Awakening, and everything went smoothly, but only when it came to matters related to Duan Zhi Xiu did he get repeatedly tossed around like a bundle of rags, forced to follow and clean up the mess. Now that even Duan Zhi Xiu's son needed him to take action personally, Duan Wen Yu's anger shot straight up.

  "Alright, Little Qi is scared of you." Qiong changed his proud demeanor in front of Bei Jinglan, and scolded with a tone as if he was afraid of scaring his grandson: "Don't blame your grandfather, he thinks you don't trust him. Your father too, are you not his son? If he really wanted to scold you, would he need to beat around the bush and use the card plate?"

  They are a couple who play good cop and bad cop, they are very tacit because Duan Wenyu is always the bad cop.

  Duan Chu was shocked beyond his control, the development in front of him was a bit beyond his expectation. Duan Wenyu and his wife were acting too abnormally, a useless grandson, and a contractless mother, did they need to lower themselves so much? He completely fell silent, just standing there without speaking.

  Qiong's smile was about to freeze, was she feeling wronged or did she simply not believe her?

  "What's wrong with you, really getting on your dad's nerves?"

  Duan Chu pursed her lips tightly, with a stubborn expression, she turned her head sideways and remained silent.

  Qiong pressed on with a few more questions, but saw that Duan Chu was still the same, his face slightly sunken. Was this complete self-abandonment, or did he feel they hadn't come out in time and were also blaming them?

  "Do you think your grandfather shouldn't have said that about you?" Qiong finally asked with a sad face.

  Duan Chu hesitated for a moment, and his eyes flashed with guilt, seemingly unwilling to admit it yet with a hint of resentment, saying: "I don't understand!"

  "What don't you understand?" Duan Wenyu was dissatisfied, unexpectedly this grandson was so blind and still thought he was a waste, wanting to make a desperate attempt? Did he have such a big scheme?

  "I didn't do anything wrong, why are you scolding me?" Duan Chu suddenly stared straight at Duan Wenyu and said word by word: "Taking evolution agents, anyone over 18 can make their own decisions, why can't I? I had a fight with Duan Yaqing and mentioned the Bei family, wasn't what I said true? Not to mention the past, who doesn't know about my relationship with Meng Jiaxiang? Even if I'm a useless person that the Meng family doesn't want now, Duan Yaqing is eager to please them, afraid that I won't be humiliated enough to commit suicide and apologize?"
