Male protagonist, you are targeting the wrong person
Chapter 8: The Jiang Family
Perhaps it was because this disciple of Haotian Sect was too young, and young people are often sincere in their hearts, and sincere words are inevitably from the heart, which means they talk a lot.
Yan Wenmo followed him and he kept talking all the way, from his new junior fellow apprentice to his stern senior brother, from his master to his uncle who was wandering around and didn't know where he was. In short, he talked about everything, so much so that Yan Wenmo looked at his chattering mouth and wondered curiously, isn't he tired of talking so much? !
Finally, after chattering all the way, she arrived at the destination of this trip, Zhaoyangju where the man's junior brother lived, and Xianyangju where he lived was next to Zhaoyangju.
He said that his master had four disciples in total. The eldest disciple, Shangguan Zhi, was gentle and reserved; the second disciple, Zhao Wenlong, was obsessed with martial arts and would follow his senior brother down the mountain to fight every few days; the third disciple was him, Ouyang Xian.
He prides himself on being romantic and passionate, and although he is extremely talented, he does not like to practice cultivation, and loves literary pursuits the most. He thought that his master would not accept a disciple in this lifetime, but he did not expect that he decided to accept a disciple today.
Hearing this, Yan Wenmo paused in his curious steps, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. The next moment, he heard Ouyang Xian's puzzled voice ringing in his ears:
"I heard that my new junior fellow apprentice is called Jiang Wenbai. His Jiang family was wiped out by the Demon Lord two days ago. Master felt sorry for him and saw that he had excellent physique, so he made an exception and accepted him as his apprentice."
At this point, he said with envy:
"He is so lucky. Back then, I had to work so hard to become the master's personal disciple."
Yan Wenmo looked at his face full of envy, subconsciously frowning. She tried her best to suppress the inexplicable irritation in her heart and said softly:
"It's better not to have such luck as the annihilation of the whole family. You think he is lucky, but maybe he himself doesn't think so."
When Ouyang Xian heard this, he couldn't help but scratch his hair subconsciously, and then looked at Yan Wenmo with apology, saying guiltily:
"I'm sorry, I didn't think this through. I won't mention this matter again in the future."
Yan Wenmo smiled perfunctorily upon hearing this, and then said:
"I'm just talking, don't take it to heart"
But my heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She thought that after breaking off the engagement, she and Jiang Wenbai would go their separate ways, but she didn't expect to meet him again. Could it be a bad fate? !
But at this moment, you should not be thinking about this matter, but how you will survive in the future. After all, doing menial work is still extremely troublesome.
Moreover, according to Ouyang Xian, there should be other servants coming into the yard. If they are easy to get along with, it would be fine. But if they are not, they might cause trouble.
But this worry seemed unnecessary, because after Jiang Wenbai became the disciple, he took the initiative to say that he liked quietness, so except for himself, the only servant, all others were rejected in disguise. Therefore, in Zhaoyang Residence, there was only Yan Wenmo, the only servant.
As the protagonist's handyman, Yan Wenmo's life is very leisurely. Apart from cleaning the yard every day, the protagonist rarely lets him get involved in other things. This also gives Yan Wenmo plenty of time to do his own things, such as earning points.
Of course, while strolling around, Yan Wenmo also pieced together the details of the Jiang family's extermination and understood the whole truth of the matter.
No one knows whether this was destiny or not, but in the end the Jiang family was wiped out, and the reason for the annihilation was ridiculous.
The incident was caused by a ring, the Demon Lord's ring. It seemed that the ring was also a symbol of the Demon Lord's identity or something. Anyway, the Demon Lord cared about it very much.
Although it was effortless for the Demon Lord to wipe out the entire Yan family, the Yan family was not a pushover after all. Even though they were mortals, they caused the Demon Lord to suffer a great loss.
Qingchen Town is the only way for a Demon Lord to return to the Demon Clan. In addition, he was injured in the fight with the Yan family. He was exhausted both physically and mentally, so he planned to rest here for a night.
This break caused trouble. A young thief who came from nowhere saw that the Demon Lord was dressed in gorgeous clothes and thought that he must have a lot of money, so he sneaked into the house while the Demon Lord was bathing.
No one knew what magical power the thief used, but he managed to sneakily steal the ring that the Demon Lord had placed on his clothes, as well as his money, jade pendants, and jewelry, right under the Demon Lord's nose.
I don't know if the thief understood that stolen goods cannot be kept for long, so he sold the stolen property right away. The ring was sold to an extremely unlucky guy, who was Jiang Wenbai's second uncle.
Jiang Wenbai's second uncle, a greedy guy, bought the stolen goods without asking about the origins of the goods.
After bathing, when the Demon Lord was putting on his clothes, he found that his ring and other valuables were missing.
If it was an ordinary financial matter, it would be fine, but the ring that the Demon Lord always wore must not be lost. Fortunately, he set a restriction on the ring, so in almost an instant, he found out that the thief who stole his ring was nearby.
It would have been fine if the ring was stolen, but the person who stole his ring was actually a mortal who could have been killed with just one finger. This was such a huge humiliation that even a demon cultivator could not tolerate, let alone the fact that he was the Demon Lord.
Therefore, he didn't waste any words or listen to anyone's explanation. He went straight to the door of the Jiang family and started a fierce fight. He waited until all the living people in the Jiang family were dead before he left leisurely.
As for Jiang Wenbai, if he had not been punished by his father to kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on his mistakes for angering the teacher again and leaving, he would probably have ended up with no body left.
Even when he heard his parents' cries for help and was about to rush out to save his father, he was unable to take a single step out of the ancestral hall. It was not that he did not want to, but the restrictions and formations that were inexplicably triggered in the ancestral hall were so powerful that even the Demon Lord could not detect his presence.
Therefore, Jiang Wenbai could only watch his loved ones fall down one by one in front of him.
Even when he tried to use all his strength to attack the magic circle, until his hands were bloody and his feet were almost crippled, the barrier of the ancestral hall was still as solid as before.
In the end, he fell to his knees in despair and burst into tears, because apart from crying, he didn't know what else he could do? ? .
His father, mother, cousin, aunt, housekeeper, maid... and so on and so forth, they all died in front of him. A living person was killed in an instant.
The culprit, however, was covered in blood and left in a very casual manner with a small ring taken from his second uncle's hand. He was so casual that even his figure seemed a little lighter when he left.
At this moment, Jiang Wenbai did not know that the reason why the Demon Lord destroyed his family was because of a ring, nor did he know that the Demon Lord killed the entire Jiang family just to vent his anger, and he did not know that the Demon Lord was his destined enemy.
He only knew that after that day, except for himself, no one in the Jiang family survived.
From then on, he had no one to rely on and no one to protect him. Apart from himself, he had no relatives or friends. Overnight, all his family members were lost.
If possible, Jiang Wenbai would be willing to give up everything in exchange for a chance for everyone in the Jiang family to survive, but there are no ifs in this world.
Not to mention, it is difficult to defy fate. The world is like this. It is impossible for a destined hero to have both a good relationship and a happy family. Isn't this the fate of a hero?
