In this life, Xianyu's parents had become mara-struck long ago.
He had barely spent any time with his elders, so who could have enabled minor protection for him?!
He had already guessed the truth.
Hua, you really outdid yourself.
Xianyu took a deep breath and calmly said goodbye to customer service.
As it happened, he had no appetite.
He was a Xianzhou native anyway. He wouldn't starve to death.
Even his usual three meals were just something he ate because mealtime had arrived and he felt obliged to eat something.
Xianyu placed a voice call to Hua, and the other end picked up quickly.

Xianyu sounded incredulous. "You're still alive?"
The Chief Strategist fell silent for a long moment, then started swearing at Xianyu.
Despite being cursed out for no reason, Xianyu didn't get angry. Holding his Jade Abacus, he said with deep feeling:

Xianyu: "..."
On the other end of the Jade Abacus, the Chief Strategist relayed Xianyu's request to Hua.
