Di Xixi suddenly spoke up. "Living well in the present is what's most important! Mother only has one son left—you. You can't afford to be reckless!"
Xu Lei glanced at her.
He immediately understood. 'Their enemies must be powerful—so powerful that in Di Xixi's eyes, they're completely unbeatable.'
"It's a long story."
However, Xu Lei's mother began to explain. "It involves four major powers: the military, the officials, the merchants, and the bandits. Xixi and I only survived because of some old connections within the Government. An elderly man pleaded on our behalf..."
After all, she knew Xu Lei must have learned some skills from the Divine Nun. Otherwise, he wouldn't still look so young. She also knew that since he was asking, he wouldn't rest until he had all the answers.
A dozen or so minutes later, Xu Lei understood the whole situation—all the different people and factions who had harmed his family.
"Quite a lot of them, huh?"
