Chapter 1557 Not a single one is easy to deal with, full of sincerity.
Chen Mu had always been somewhat wary of the Lake of Fallen Gods. It was always better to be cautious with such an unknown force.
In particular, Chen Mu was not very clear about Zhao Xingyu—the spokesperson for the Lake of Fallen Gods—and took a cautious attitude.
Xiaoxi is carrying a package and is secretly gesturing to herself from behind the sofa.
Chen Mu immediately wondered if there was something wrong with the package.
Xiaoxi pointed to the package, made a questioning expression at herself, and then unzipped it.
Chen Mu instantly understood; Xiao tide's meaning was quite clear—
There's something wrong with this package. Should we open it now and check it?
Chen Mu thought about it and realized that Xiao tide was really thoughtful.
Xiaoxi first noticed something was wrong with the package, and then wanted to remind Chen Mu to open it.
However, with guests present, if Chen Mu were to open the package directly, as if he were about to inspect it, it might create an atmosphere of tension and a potential falling out.
So, Xiaoxi decided to be the "bad guy." He pretended to be clueless and opened the package.
This way, Chen Mu could inspect it, and there was also an excuse—the child was just playing around and didn't know any better.
A hint of relief appeared in Chen Mu's eyes as he looked at Xiao tide.
My little tide... has grown up. She's already starting to learn to share the burdens of her older brother.
What reason did Chen Mu have to refuse?
He immediately nodded in agreement to Xiaoxi with satisfaction.
The next second, Xiaoxi's face lit up with anticipation. He excitedly rubbed his little hands together and suddenly opened the package.
Chen Mu was a little puzzled. Why was he so impatient and excited to check the package for him?
Could it be that Xiaoxi is just enjoying the drama?
Wait a minute, something's not right!
Chen Mu watched as Xiao tide opened the package, revealing the sweet bamboo shoots inside.
Then, right in front of Chen Mu, Xiao tide hid behind the sofa, grabbed a bamboo shoot, and started gnawing on it!
Chen Mu immediately realized that he seemed to have misunderstood... Xiao tide's meaning.
Xiaoxi's expression and actions just now actually meant—Brother Chen, can I open the package and eat?
Thinking back to Xiaoxi's expression, it was clearly like a child asking their parents if they could open and eat snacks when guests came to visit during the Chinese New Year, with a bunch of snacks in their home.
They have the exact same expression!
I didn't even realize it myself, and thought Xiaoxi had suddenly become sensible.
Chen Mu sighed helplessly.
Between Xiaoxi and Chacha, Chacha is definitely more sensible. Before doing anything, she knows to ask herself if she agrees first.
Wait a minute, when Chacha was trying to hook up with Lao Feng, she didn't ask for his consent!
And that Cha Cha just asked me if I agreed to take the ancient books. What does she want with the ancient books?
Of course, it was all for the purpose of deciphering ancient books and catching up with Lao Feng.
What's the difference between this and asking me if I agree to date my mom? Damn it, am I going to become part of a tea-tea play?
Chen Mu felt increasingly distressed; neither of these kids seemed to be easy to deal with.
Chen Mu told the two children to go play somewhere else and ignored them.
He focused his energy on dealing with Zhao Xingyu.
The two chatted for a while, exchanging pleasantries.
Zhao Xingyu is incredibly shrewd; he learns things incredibly quickly. He started by making demands right away, but after being tricked by Chen Mu a few times, he now knows not to jump straight to the point and instead chat casually to build rapport.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Xingyu talked about the current situation.
"Mr. Chen, I wonder if you have a feeling that something big is about to happen in this strange apocalypse lately?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu immediately perked up.
Zhao Xingyu said the same thing. Could it be that the Lake of Fallen Gods has also noticed something?
That's quite normal, probably because the Lake of Fallen Gods was so eager to revive because it sensed that something big was about to happen.
Chen Mu didn't rush to express his opinion, but instead tentatively asked, "Oh? What do you mean?"
Zhao Xingyu said, "To be honest, we came here on behalf of the Lake of Fallen Gods. We've learned that something big is about to happen, and the Lake of Fallen Gods is eager to revive."
That's why we came to visit, hoping to ask Mr. Chen for his help.
With this revival, the Lake of Fallen Gods will gain the ability to communicate with us, including with you, Mr. Chen. I think He probably has something He wants to say to you.
That's all the information I have.
After Zhao Xingyu finished speaking, he paused for a moment. He looked at Chen Mu, hesitated for a second, and then continued:
"Mr. Chen, I understand how you feel. It's perfectly normal to be cautious about the unknown Lake of Fallen Gods."
However, I have had contact with the Lake of Fallen Gods, and my judgment is that the Lake of Fallen Gods is on the side of humanity.
I won't lie to you. From a human perspective, I was once the chief of the Storm Defense. If I make you misjudge, it would be indirectly destroying humanity.
I could never do something so inhuman.
My suggestion is that this irrigation will benefit you, and it will benefit all of humanity and the Watchtower of Wangjiang.
Chen Mu listened silently to Zhao Xingyu's words, and after Zhao Xingyu finished speaking, Chen Mu looked up at him.
Chen Mu slowly asked, "Why do you think the Lake of Fallen Gods is a good person? Could you give an example?"
Zhao Xingyu wanted to say something, but after searching his mind, he couldn't come up with any examples.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Xingyu said, "The Lake of Fallen Gods is currently in a state of not yet awakening."
To be honest, He has never spoken to me. There has been no direct communication between us, so I can't give you any specific examples.
If I really had to give a reason, my reason would be—a summoning.
"Oh? Summoning?" Chen Mu asked curiously.
Zhao Xingyu recalled and slowly said, "Boss Chen, as you know, I felt the call of the Lake of Fallen Gods after I was swapped out by you."
In that sense, Mr. Chen, you have actually done me a great favor.
Upon sensing the call, I flew towards the Lake of Fallen Gods. Buried in the Lake of Fallen Gods are the powerful beings of the ancient mythological era.
That ancient call gave me an instinctive feeling of trust.
This is my judgment; I followed my feelings.
"Is that all?" Chen Mu asked.
Zhao Xingyu nodded. "No, that's all."
