You know, a person will never truly feel fear until they experience it firsthand. And after this kidnapper gentleman gave Mu Tianyuan a vivid lesson with his own personal experience, letting Mu Tianyuan thoroughly understand Ran's dangerous nature, Mu Tianyuan swore he would never tease Ran again.

In fact, Mu Tianyuan even felt that his survival over the past year was purely a result of Lord Ran's magnanimity in not holding things against him. Otherwise, just for his constant teasing of Lord Ran and Kudo over the past year, he would have been celebrating his death anniversary already...

Ultimately, this unfortunate kidnapper gentleman was escorted by the police uncles to the hospital for a physical examination and serum shots. This kidnapper was truly unlucky; not only was he beaten by Lord Ran, but he was also bitten by a snake.

Mu Tianyuan stated that this had absolutely nothing to do with him. It was entirely an overreaction by that snake—which bit someone and then fled, its whereabouts now unknown—after being terrified by Lord Ran's ferocity. It was absolutely not an order from him!

After all this commotion, Uncle Mouri and the others finally understood the truth behind the little girl's kidnapping. It was entirely a story about a mischievous brat who wanted to force a rebellion because her father wouldn't play with her.

The little girl somehow came up with the idea of putting on a show with their old butler, pretending to be kidnapped to scare her father. Then, the fake kidnapping encountered professional kidnappers, directly escalating from a drill to a real battle...

After realizing that the child simply wanted her father to play with her, the little girl's father decided to take the old butler and his daughter on a trip, under the guise of punishment.

Seeing that the matter was completely resolved and everyone was happy, Uncle Mouri excused himself. Amidst the tearful gratitude of the wealthy man whose child had been lost, he proudly took Mu Tianyuan and the others into a taxi home. On the way home, Mu Tianyuan whispered to Little Fox: "I think I need to strengthen my combat power. Do you have any powerful secret manuals or anything like that?"

"Yes," Little Fox nodded decisively. Mu Tianyuan had just asked casually, but upon hearing Little Fox's words, Mu Tianyuan was instantly excited: "What secret manual?"

Little Fox swayed her head: "Sunflower Manual of Evil-Ward Swordplay, want to learn it?"

"...That name alone sounds pretty satisfying..." Mu Tianyuan's mouth twitched upon hearing the name. Isn't that the combination of the Sunflower Manual and Evil-Ward Swordplay?! Or rather, it's the complete version with the cut content added back?

"Yes, do you want to learn it? If you learn it, you can become invincible under heaven, unify the martial world for thousands of generations!" Little Fox swayed her tail, looking at Mu Tianyuan with an innocent expression, asking. Mu Tianyuan shook his head decisively: "No!"

Little Fox looked at Mu Tianyuan with a completely bewildered expression: "Why? As long as you learn it, then you can dominate the world from sunrise, be unrivaled, and rule the martial arts world for all eternity!"

"I'm afraid of pain." Mu Tianyuan rolled his eyes and replied irritably. Damn it, I know Little Fox is just teasing me right now. Besides, even if Little Fox really had this secret manual, I wouldn't plan to learn it. The cost is too great!

"You, what's a little pain for becoming number one in the world? Think about it, as long as you learn this manual, you can live a life of luxury, with beautiful women on both sides, and reach the pinnacle of success!" Little Fox's eyes were clearly crescent-shaped, but at this moment, she still spoke earnestly.

Mu Tianyuan, however, rolled his eyes and said: "Forget it. Do I really need to pay such a huge price just to live a life of luxury? Just buy two catties of crispy green beans and a bottle of chili oil from the supermarket, and that's enough! Besides, even if that time came, what good would having women on both sides do? Our Mu family has only me as a male heir in this generation.

If I really learned that manual whose name alone sounds so 'satisfying,' wouldn't I be cutting off my lineage? At that point, would your so-called 'pinnacle of life' refer to me applying for a position as a Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Eunuch in the palace?"

While Mu Tianyuan and Little Fox were discussing the divine martial arts manual, Ran proposed to Uncle Mouri that Professor Agasa hoped to temporarily board Conan at their home. Ran had already thought about what arguments she would use to persuade her father if Uncle Mouri disagreed.

However, to Ran's surprise, Uncle Mouri, after picking up their retired Dog Knight and examining it, actually agreed!

To be honest, Ran was quite disbelieving when she heard her father's words. But before Ran could finish marveling, she saw Uncle Mouri patting the head of Dog Knight Conan while laughing, "Ever since this brat came, commissions have been pouring in, and they've been successfully resolved too. It's simply like a lucky star has descended! Forget about just boarding him, I'd even adopt him as my son!"

This is practically a living lucky cat! He must be kept!

Hearing Uncle Mouri's reason for deciding to take in Conan, Ran, Conan, and Mu Tianyuan, along with Little Fox, all looked at the laughing Uncle Mouri speechlessly. Then Mu Tianyuan took out a can of beer and handed it to Uncle Mouri: "Uncle Mouri, here."

"Oh? Beer? Where did you get that?" Uncle Mouri was laughing happily, and seeing the beer Mu Tianyuan handed over, he became even happier. He took it, opened it, and asked.

"I picked it up in that warehouse just now. I guess the kidnapper bought it." While waiting for the police, Mu Tianyuan had wandered around the warehouse and discovered these beers.

Believing that he shouldn't let these beers harm other curious good students or benefit the school's teachers, Mu Tianyuan unhesitatingly found a plastic bag and collected them.

Then Mu Tianyuan, while sipping beer, asked Uncle Mouri: "Oh, by the way, Uncle Mouri, do you think this counts as evidence? If it's evidence, should we hand it over to the police?"

"Are you planning to pee on them?" Before Uncle Mouri could say anything, Little Fox interjected through their private channel. This guy is only thinking of this now, after he's already started drinking? If he really has to hand it back, he'll probably have to borrow the police station's restroom...

"Uh..." Mu Tianyuan was startled by Little Fox's words, then said seriously: "If they want it, it's not like I can't give it to them."

Uncle Mouri, who was raising a can to his mouth, paused when he heard the origin of Mu Tianyuan's beer and his question. After pondering for a moment, he declared that this was absolutely not evidence. If this counted as evidence, then there would be nothing that didn't count as evidence.

Mu Tianyuan, who hadn't taken this matter to heart, drank even more heartily after hearing Uncle Mouri's words. While drinking, he turned his head and asked Ran, pretending to be curious: "By the way, Lord Ran, have you found that Kudo kid?"

"No..." Ran's expression dimmed slightly as she shook her head when she heard Mu Tianyuan's words. Mu Tianyuan couldn't help but sigh softly when he saw Ran's expression. You didn't not find him; you found him but don't know it.

Although Mu Tianyuan knew the truth, he couldn't say it. He could only glance at Conan, who was looking very uncomfortable, and then, while sipping beer, talk nonsense to comfort Ran: "Lord Ran, don't worry.

In our country, there's an old saying specifically for that Kudo kid. It goes, 'Thousand-year turtle, ten-thousand-year softshell turtle'—no, wait, 'Good people don't live long, troublemakers live a thousand years.' So Kudo will definitely be fine.

Maybe that kid is solving some case right now, or perhaps he's in Kabukicho, exchanging life experiences with those exceptionally skilled older sisters from adult entertainment establishments."

Conan: "..." Damn it! What do you mean 'good people don't live long, troublemakers live a thousand years'? I'm such an upright good young man, how am I a troublemaker? And besides, who would go to those adult entertainment establishments! How could someone as upright as me go to such places?! At most, I'd just glance at them when passing by!

"Uh, uh, Kudo is probably solving a case..." Ran didn't pay attention to Mu Tianyuan's assessment of Kudo. Instead, she blinked her starry eyes, seeking a reasonable excuse for Kudo. Compared to going to those adult entertainment establishments, Ran still thought it was better for her Shinichi to solve a case!

Then Ran suddenly thought of how Mu Tianyuan addressed her. Ran was instantly puzzled: "What does 'Lord Ran' mean?" Although in this Chinese-dubbed world, they all spoke Chinese, there were some words they couldn't understand. For example, Mu Tianyuan's current way of addressing her left Ran utterly baffled.

"It's an honorific for males, expressing politeness and respect." Mu Tianyuan, seeing Ran humbly asking for guidance, didn't play coy. He answered while sipping beer.

However, Ran found it a bit hard to accept this title after hearing Mu Tianyuan's explanation. How could she, a dignified and beautiful young woman, become a 'Lord'?

But although Ran expressed that she couldn't bear the title, Mu Tianyuan insisted on politely calling Ran "Lord Ran." For no other reason than Ran's performance in hitting the bad guys in the warehouse just now, she deserved the title of "Lord Ran"!

Kudo Shinichi, transformed into Conan, faced his next major challenge the day after he shrunk—even more severe than bathing with Ran the previous night—which was going to school! And it was—elementary school!

Upon hearing this news, Mu Tianyuan immediately wanted to shout, "I am not alone on this path!" He had been depressed about having to "re-paint an old cucumber green" and restart high school with a bunch of hormonal teenagers after years of graduating.

But now, knowing Conan's predicament, he suddenly felt that his own situation was actually quite good. At least he didn't have to accompany cute little lolis and shotas in learning advanced mathematics like "two times two is four, two times three is six, two times four is eight," right?

However, in some ways, it would actually be good if Mu Tianyuan could go to elementary school. At the very least, it could compensate for his illiteracy, and he could even fulfill his fantasy of being a top student...
