As early as when Qi Man withdrew from the battlefield, Hua Chaochao's eyes followed her.

Naturally, she also saw Shen Lingtan dying.

Without any mercy, Hua Chaochao just felt that he deserved it.

Shen Lingtan was the only one who had the ability to dissuade Li Qingchi from doing the experiment when he first wanted to do it, but he failed to do so.

He did try to persuade her, but his attitude was not firm enough. When Li Qingchi threatened him with saving his life, he immediately softened his heart and agreed.

If he had stuck to his original intention and firmly resisted, this inhumane experiment would never have been carried out.

All in all, each of them is to blame for the way things have developed to this point.

This is what is called the human heart.

The corners of Hua Chaochao's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a hint of mocking smile, as if she was mocking this absurd world, or ridiculing those who were blinded by desire.

Then she turned and faced in one direction.

There was a shop entrance, with a tall billboard standing prominently, about as tall as an adult.

"It's not clear from that angle, wouldn't it be better to stand over and look?" Hua Chaochao opened her red lips slightly, her voice was not loud, but it could be accurately transmitted to someone's ears.

Qing Yuan stood next to Hua Chaochao, wondering who she was talking to, so he followed her gaze.

I don’t know if I was seeing things, but Qing Yuan seemed to tremble when he saw the billboard.

Qing Yuan already knew that there were people there. After all, with his good hearing, once someone approached, the subtle footsteps and breathing sounds would be as clear as drumbeats in his ears.

But before, his attention was completely attracted by the scene of Song Guwei beating up Shen Lingtan, so he didn't pay attention to who the person was.

Now he was curious. The person who could make Hua Chaochao take the initiative to greet him must be an important person.

Almost all the famous figures in Xuanzhou are here, so who is that person?

Shortly after Hua Chaochao's voice fell, a figure slowly walked out from behind the billboard.

When he saw the man's face clearly, Qing Yuan was stunned for a moment.

How could it be him……

Hua Chaochao looked at the person who walked out of the billboard, raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, and teased: "I guess you will say that you just happened to pass by."

"Why, fortune-telling has come to Xuanzhou?"

Qing Ming: ...

What else can I say after you've said that?

"You misunderstood. I'm not here to do business. I'm just here to travel and visit Yi Mu. I haven't seen him for a while. Where is he? Why can't I see him?" Qing Ming said as he pretended to be calm and looked around, looking for Yi Mu.

Hua Chaochao was right, the angle of the billboard was really bad and you couldn’t see it completely.

Yi Mu didn't see it, but Qing Ming bumped into a stunned face.

He was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly looked away as if nothing had happened.

Hua Chaochao keenly captured the subtle atmosphere and turned her head to give Qing Yuan a playful look.

Very good, and there's something interesting to watch.

Qing Ming looked around but did not find any trace of Yi Mu.

Should he leave then? But he really wanted to stay and watch the fun.

He came here just because he heard there was something exciting to see here.

Just when Qingming was in a dilemma, a hoarse voice sounded in his ears: "Brother..."

Qing Ming glanced at Qing Yuan, "Brother? Who are you calling brother? Is there your brother here?"

Qing Yuan's face turned pale in an instant.

Hua Chaochao kindly said on Qing Yuan's behalf: "That's a bit heartless. Dean Qing Yuan really misses you as his brother."

"What you said, can I be as ruthless as you?" Qing Ming glanced at Qing Yuan again, puffing his beard and said, "Besides, if he really missed me, could he leave home for seventy years without returning?"

"He came to Xuanzhou to be the dean of the college. How come I didn't know that he had the ideal of teaching and educating people?"

"Brother, I..." Qing Yuan wanted to explain.

"Hey, who is talking?" Qing Ming looked left and right, up and down, front and back, but didn't look at Qing Yuan.

Hua Chaochao: ...

It's rare to see someone who is almost a hundred years old and still so childish.

Qingming refused to acknowledge him as his brother, and he felt very aggrieved and his eyes turned red.

The air was silent for a few seconds. Qing Ming couldn't bear it after all. He looked at Qing Yuan and said seriously: "I'm not angry anymore."

So, go home.

"But I can't forgive myself." Qing Yuan lowered his head. The old man in his eighties looked like a child who had made a mistake. "I killed my sister."

Qing Ming went forward and hugged him, patting his back gently, "It's all in the past. Sister won't blame you. She loves you the most."

The Qing family has more than just two brothers. Qing Ming also has an older sister, Qing Rong.

Like her two younger brothers, Qingrong also has something special: she has a sensitive nose and can smell odors that ordinary people cannot.

But unfortunately, she was born weak and sickly and often needed to stay in bed.

Despite this, she still took good care of her two younger brothers.

However, fate is always cruel.

Seventy-five years ago, when Qingyuan was twelve years old, the brother and sister were kidnapped while they were out for a walk.

At that time, Qing Yuan was a child immersed in playing and neglected to practice. He was only a martial artist of the second level with low strength. Qing Rong was unable to practice martial arts due to physical reasons. The people who tied them up were masters of the sixth level. They were like lambs to be slaughtered and had no power to resist.

Qing Ming was eighteen years old at the time and was studying at the academy. After learning that his sister and brother were kidnapped, he rushed to rescue them without stopping.

But it's still a step too late.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw a knife stuck in Qingrong's back, blood gushing out, forming a shocking pool of blood on the ground, and in her arms, she was holding the trembling Qingyuan tightly.

Qingrong was in poor health to begin with, and such a serious injury would undoubtedly be fatal to her.

Qing Ming rushed over like a madman, trying to support Qing Rong, but found that her body was gradually losing temperature.

"Sister! Sister!" Qing Ming shouted at the top of her lungs, but Qing Rong could no longer open her eyes to look at her most beloved brothers.

Qing Yuan was sobbing in Qing Rong's arms, he was so frightened that he couldn't speak.

Later, Qingming learned that Qingrong actually died to save Qingyuan.

Qing Yuan was young and it was his first time experiencing kidnapping. He was very scared. In addition, his hearing was very good, so he could hear clearly all the cruel words the kidnappers said. He was almost mentally collapsed.

From then on, any slight sound would cause him to shudder.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and Xiao Qingyuan screamed "Ah", but the kidnappers thought he was trying to escape, so they picked up a knife to teach him a lesson.

Qingrong himself was very weak, but when he saw someone trying to hurt his brother, he rushed over regardless of everything and used his body to protect little Qingyuan.

The knife stabbed straight into Qingrong's back, and the blood instantly dyed her clothes red.

Qingming, who knew the whole incident, initially blamed Qingyuan, blaming him for being so jumpy and for killing his elder sister. He even said some angry words, asking why Qingyuan was not the one who died.

Compared to Qing Yuan, Qing Ming and Qing Rong have been together the longest, so their feelings are naturally deeper.

In the nearly one year since Qingrong's death, Qingming has not spoken to Qingyuan again, nor has he treated him well, treating him like air.

Qing Yuan also fell into endless self-blame and pain.

In the end, he chose to leave home and leave Lotus Island.

He felt that he didn't deserve to stay at home anymore.

At that time, Qingming was still blaming Qingyuan, so he did not stop him and let him go.

As a result, he was gone for more than seventy years.

Qingming has always known that Qingyuan is in Xuanzhou, but he has never thought of going to find him. It was he who wanted to run away from home, so why should he lower himself to persuade him to go home?

Love never comes back.

Anyway, he is living well out there, so there is no need to worry.
