National Awakening: My Left Eye Copies My Right Eye and Sublimates

80: Xia Qi, when you see this letter...”Xia Qi, by the time you read this letter, Dongliu and I might not be able to return.”

Opening the envelope, the first sentence that met Xia Qi’s eyes made his brow furrow.

”What I’m about to tell you might overturn everything you’ve known for so many years. I hope you’re mentally prepared. We love you.”

Taking a deep breath, Xia Qi continued reading.

”Actually, we are not your parents. You didn’t misread. Xia Dongliu and I are only your uncle and aunt in name. We adopted you on a rainy night eighteen years ago because we had no children of our own.”

”Your biological father is Xia Yuan. Eighteen years ago, he entrusted you to us and went to the Void Battlefield alone. Eighteen years have passed since then, and no news has come back.”

”And this time, we are also going to the Void Battlefield. This place is truly too dangerous. We are not confident that we can return alive. I thought about it for a long time and decided to tell you the truth about your identity before we leave.”

”I know your feelings must be very complicated right now. Your parents aren’t your parents, and your biological father has been missing for eighteen years, his life or death unknown.”

”For this, I can only say sorry to you. We didn’t tell you this news sooner.”

”But Xia Qi, it’s been eighteen years. We’ve already treated you as our own son. Three years ago, we left Jiangcheng for unavoidable reasons, but during these three years, I’ve missed you every moment…”

Reading this, the watermark on the letter paper was clearly visible.

Xia Qi knew these were Xu Nian’s tears.

”Child, remember my words: never step into the Void Battlefield. Even a War God faces the risk of falling at any moment there.”

”Finally, I still have one regret: I regret not seeing your girlfriend. I’m afraid I won’t be able to in this life. Oh well, with your looks, girls will definitely like you. I was overly worried about this.”

”Lastly, I hope you are happy and joyful. Love you!”

Signed, Xu Nian.

Carefully folding the letter, by the time Xia Qi looked up again, his face was covered in tears.

This was his body’s instinctive reaction; inwardly, Xia Qi had actually accepted everything.

His biological father was Xia Yuan, and Xu Nian and Xia Dongliu became his uncle and aunt.

Well, such a dramatic plot had appeared in his own life.

The feeling was indescribable at the moment.

War God Hu Jun silently finished a cigarette, then walked over and patted Xia Qi’s shoulder.

”Man up, what do you look like?”

Saying that, he pulled out a few tissues and handed them to Xia Qi.

”No, War God Hu Jun, have you read the letter?”

Xia Qi wiped his tears, asking with red eyes.

”Yes, what’s the big deal?”

War God Hu Jun said it without any concealment.

”Uh…”

Xia Qi was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

”Your parents aren’t your parents, they’re your uncle and aunt, and your father is Xia Yuan. Isn’t that all there is to it?”

”Don’t worry, I have a very good relationship with your father. In fact, I, Xia Dongliu, and your biological father were inseparable in high school.”

”Haha, alright, don’t look at me like that. If it’s really that bad, I can be your father?”

”Damn it, don’t take advantage of me.”

Xia Qi decisively refused. One more father was already enough for him to handle. If there was another, he wanted to kill the bastard who controlled his fate.

”Hey, you little brat, who’s taking advantage of whom? I’m a War God, one of the top ten War Gods of the Dragon Nation, do you understand? Others want to be my son, but they don’t even have a chance.”

”I’m not Lu Bu, stop talking.”

Xia Qi immediately interrupted the topic. War God Hu Jun’s voice was loud, and what if a passing student heard it?

How would he get by at Shengjing University in the future?

Who Lu Bu was, War God Hu Jun didn’t ask in detail.

Once Xia Qi had composed himself, War God Hu Jun took Xia Qi directly to War God Academy.

They passed through the public area and entered War God Academy.

There were quite a few people inside, seemingly discussing something.

War God Hu Jun brought Xia Qi in, and for a moment, everyone present stopped their discussion.

”Greetings, War God!”

Everyone respectfully saluted. In War God Academy, War God Hu Jun was like the sky.

”Xiao Qianqian, come here for a moment.”

War God Hu Jun nodded and waved to a girl in the crowd.

”Lord War God, please give your commands.”

Xiao Qianqian, tall and attractive, immediately came forward.

”This is Xia Qi, I’m entrusting him to you.”

”Rest assured, Lord War God, you can trust me with Xia Qi.”

”Mm.”

War God Hu Jun nodded and patted Xia Qi’s shoulder.

”I still have matters to attend to. You can follow Xiao Qianqian’s lead and do everything she arranges.”

”Alright.”

Xia Qi nodded, having no objections.

After War God Hu Jun left, Xiao Qianqian leaned closer, her beautiful eyes sparkling, ”Junior, are you this year’s National Champion?”

”Yes, Senior Sister Qianqian, hello.”

”Mm, so sweet. Senior Sister will definitely get you sorted out.”

Xiao Qianqian had a naturally friendly personality. Before Xia Qi could say more, she had already treated Xia Qi as one of her own.

The key was that Xia Qi was personally brought by War God Hu Jun.

She certainly had to take him seriously.

Saying that, Xiao Qianqian led Xia Qi to the team.

”Let me introduce you first. I’m Xiao Qianqian, a Level 28 Knight, and the captain here. You should also greet everyone.”

Xia Qi glanced at the several individuals with extraordinary Auras and said modestly, ”Xia Qi, Level 20, Mage.”

Xiao Qianqian’s expression didn’t change.

But the faces of the other few showed surprise.

”A Level 20 newcomer, are you kidding?”

”No wonder the War God personally brought him. This junior’s talent is probably extraordinary.”

”To be able to become the National Champion, he must have some strength. Level 20 is indeed quite impressive.”

In the team, most people treated Xia Qi with friendliness, but there were always exceptions.

A man holding a staff walked over, his expression looking quite displeased.

”It’s just Level 20, why are you all so surprised? I thought he was something amazing, but he still needs Xiao Qianqian to lead him.”

As soon as these words were spoken, before Xia Qi could say anything, Xiao Qianqian was the first to show an unhappy expression.

”Li Pengfei, watch your words. Xia Qi is the National Champion.”

Li Pengfei showed a mocking expression, ”National Champion? Haha, compared to us, a National Champion is nothing.”

”How many National Champions from before have been able to enter War God Academy?”

”Don’t think being a National Champion is so great. Here, whether you’re a Dragon or a tiger, you have to tuck your tail between your legs.”

The arrogance that emanated from Li Pengfei’s very bones showed that he didn’t put Xia Qi in his eyes at all.

And such words, surprisingly, were agreed upon by quite a few people in War God Academy.

They were all Prodigies, and their arrogance stemmed from the confidence their strength gave them.
