Buttface was stunned. “What? What did you say?” His expression was cute but a little bit stupid.
Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning were also shocked and didn’t know the meaning of Xu Que’s words.
Is Buttface the Kylin Patriarch?
How . . . could this be?
All of them were totally confused by Xu Que’s words.
“Young man, watch your mouth! The Kylin Patriarch represents our Mighty Sect. You can’t insult him like this!” Duan Jiude jumped up and shouted after coming to himself.
Buttface became annoyed. “What do you mean, old fart?” he asked angrily. “How could I insult your stupid sect?”
“Everything about you could be deemed a humiliation of our sect, including your name, your body, your words and your behavior!” Duan Jiude retorted without hesitation.
“Damn it! I am really angry now! Little brat, don’t stop me! Let me kick this old fart to death!” Buttface, who looked quite tough, was about to put up a desperate fight against Duan Jiude.
Xu Que shrugged. “I won’t stop you.”
“Why . . . won’t you stop me?”
“You said not to!”
“Damn! You’re bullying a wolf!”
“That’s enough!” Liu Jingning, who couldn’t watch it anymore, stopped their farce at last. Then, she turned to Xu Que and asked, “Little Queque, was that a joke or are you serious?”
Liu Jingning asked seriously. She was very smart and could tell when Xu Que was kidding. Therefore, she was curious why Xu Que had said this.
Duan Jiude also fixed his eyes on Xu Que. After all, he used to be an apprentice of the Mighty Sect, and he still cherished their reputation.
XU Que landed the jet fighter calmly. Then, he leaned on the pilot chair and put on a pair of black-framed glasses and a red bow-tie. After that, he said, “I, Conan of the Exploding Heavens Faction, never tell jokes! Buttface—”
“What?” Buttface’s patience had run out.
“Where is the tape recorder I gave you? Play the BGM now!”
“Which song should I play?”
“Detective Conan! I’ve selected the song, you just need to press the play button!”
Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude stared at him in silence.
Click!
When Buttface pressed the play button of the tape recorder, the BGM played a saxophone tune which Xu Que had heard many times in his childhood.
The elated and exciting melody made Xu Que get right into the moment.
Buttface was also touched by the melody and was almost about to dance with the music. Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude, on the other hand, were quite speechless about this scene.
At this time, Xu Que started to talk about the main point seriously. “Actually, this issue was quite clear from the very beginning. It is quite possible that Buttface is that Kylin Patriarch! My reasoning rests on Buttface’s miraculous fate. He said he is the descendant of the Ancient Magic Dragon, and that after nine reincarnations, he will become a real Ancient Magic Dragon for his final form. Although I wasn’t sure whether his words were true or not, I have concluded that what he said might be true after several years’ observation—”
“The Ancient Magic Dragon?” Duan Jiude interrupted. “Are you kidding? That is totally absurd! Moreover, if he is the so-called Ancient Magic Dragon, how could he be related to the Kylin Patriarch of our Mighty Sect?”
Xu Que smiled slightly. In the BGM of Detective Conan, his smile was quite wise. Then, he said calmly, “Old beggar, if I’m not wrong, your Kylin Patriarch was not a real Kylin, right? It’s just like how Buttface calls himself a wolf but everyone else says he’s dog!”
“F*ck! Little brat, you’re lying through your teeth! How don’t I look like a wolf?” Buttface barked.
However, Xu Que’s words stunned Duan Jiude, who was dumbfounded and had nothing to say.
According to his knowledge, an apprentice of his sect was cleaning in the library when he found an old portrait. It seemed the portrait was an arrest warrant for the Kylin Patriarch. However, the Kylin Patriarch in the portrait didn’t look like a Kylin but more like a Tigon!
“Buttface changes into a different form with each reincarnation, and he loses almost all his memories. He can only remember a little bit about his past life. Just now he kept saying he used to live here during his 5th Reincarnation as a Kylin. When he entered this place, he found a treasure vault here. At that time, there was no sect here, so . . . ”
Xu Que spoke firmly as if he was convinced this was the truth. Then, he pointed at Buttface with wise light shining in his eyes. “So, in summary, the murderer is . . . ” He hesitated. “No, in summary, it is highly possible that Buttface is the Kylin Patriarch!”
His words dropped the entire cockpit into silence!
Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning were totally shocked!
Buttface, whose mouth and eyes widened, looked once again like an emoji pack.
Duan Jiude shook his head. “That’s impossible!” he said after coming to himself. “I’ve never heard of the Ancient Magic Dragon, let alone the nine reincarnations. Even if this is a real story, it can’t prove this stupid dog was a Kylin in those years!”
If Buttface proved to be the Patriarch of the Mighty Sect, he would kill himself by jumping into the Upflowing Sea—it was too humiliating!
“Old fart, stop your nonsense! As a mighty cultivator, how could I act as the leader of a pathetic sect in those years?”
Xu Que smiled as he stood up to open the cabin door. Then, he pointed at the ruins not far away. “Old beggar, you said the Kylin Patriarch set up restrictive spells in that treasure vault, and nobody could enter it except for the Kylin Patriarch himself, right? We could ask Buttface to try!”
“Wow, that’s right!” Duan Jiude’s eyes lit up. He stood and slapped his thighs. “Only one with that specific bloodline could enter without being attacked by the restrictive spells. One couldn’t change his bloodline even through a reincarnation! Little dog, if you aren’t a coward, you should go there and try to enter. I just don’t believe you have experienced the reincarnation!”
“No!” Buttface shouted as he turned around and prepared to escape.
“You have to go. It’s quite important to prove your identity! Maybe you left something good in the vault in those years!” Xu Que summoned his Taoist Body to capture Buttface.
“Young man, mind your words! This stupid dog is too arrogant! I will throw him into the restrictive spells so that he will get some punishment. Except for the Kylin Patriarch, anyone who enters that area will be attacked by lightning before being driven out!” Duan Jiude sneered as he also started to chase Buttface.
Buttface howled in panic. “Don’t do anything stupid! I will never go to that place!”
“F*ck! Little brat, how dare you betray me? I’ve taken care of your for so long and now you bite the hand that feeds you!”
“Damn!” he howled. “Duan Jiude, you’re an old bast*rd! If you come any closer, I will kick you to death! Ouch, ouch, ouch . . . It hurts, hurts . . . Let me go!”
The entire cockpit filled with Buttface’s hysterical screams, which were quite noisy.
Finally, Xu Que asked the Taoist Body to prevent Buttface from running around with the collar magic art. Then, they managed to capture him.
Xu Que knew clearly why Buttface was so terrified. Apparently, he also didn’t believe he was the Kylin Patriarch. Therefore, he was afraid of getting hurt after being thrown into the restrictive spells.
However, Xu Que still decided to try. Lightning wouldn’t hurt Buttface because of his extremely strong physique.
More importantly, Xu Que was quite curious about Buttface’s identity. It would be a fun story if Buttface was a reincarnation of the Kylin Patriarch! Maybe he would really one day become an Ancient Magic Dragon!
“That’s enough! Stop your howling! You can’t die!” Xu Que’s Taoist Body grabbed Buttface and dashed toward the treasure vault in the ruins. Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude followed.
Buttface stopped struggling and looked at Xu Que seriously. “Little brat, let me go. I have something urgent to deal with! For real! I remember I have an urgent issue to attend. I hereby guarantee with my wolfality that I will come back and destroy that stupid restrictive spell after finishing my business!”
“Tell me your urgent issue!” Xu Que said with a smirk, easily seeing through Buttface’s lie. He asked the Taoist Body to keep moving toward the ruins with Buttface.
Buttface failed to find an excuse. When they were in front of the treasure vault’s restrictive spell, Buttface freaked out and shouted, “I am going to poop!”
“Really?” Xu Que’s Taoist Body stopped abruptly.
Buttface’s eyes lit up and he started nodding furiously. “Yes, yes!”
“Okay, you can do that in there!” Xu Que’s Taoist Body threw Buttface into the restrictive spell of the treasure vault.
