When he was dying, it was Xuanwu Shenzun who went out to save him, and took him back to the beast city as a disciple, so that he had a place to settle down.But the situation did not improve. The people of this city rejected the human race very much, and he was criticized by others for having half-human blood.Fortunately, he is a disciple of Xuanwu God, so most people restrain themselves.

It was also at that time that he gradually became acquainted with Ming Jue.

Mingjue was already over 100 years old at that time, but he was purely optimistic and had a bit of arrogance of a nobleman. He felt compassion for what happened to Xie Qiaonan. It's what a senior brother should look like.

If God Xuanwu picked him up to give him a chance, then Mingjue gave him the warmth that a relative should give him. Xie Qiaonan carefully held the hard-won sunshine, fearing that his warmth would be lost when a gust of wind came. up.

Xie Qiaonan remembered how their relationship deteriorated.He knew that the Ming family had never liked him, but because of Ming Jue's face, he didn't dare to show him a good face, but he didn't expect that they even planned to kill him.

They used Ming Jue's name to kill them all for the first time, but Xie Qiaonan escaped by chance. Facing the frequent wounds of his junior brother and his increasingly alienated attitude, Ming Jue questioned him violently.

Xie Qiaonan was confused. He was still young and immature at that time. He just thought that his senior brother had withdrawn his love for him. The senior brother hated him. Since the senior brother hated him, he would hide away. Countless people once He reminded him again and again that Ming Jue hated him very much, because his existence would shake his position as the future city lord of the beast city. Who would show kindness to a half-human, half-beast brat? That's all.

Xuanwu Shenzun doesn't like to meddle, Mingjue is getting estranged from him day by day, all the pain can only be swallowed by smashing his teeth, and Xie Qiaonan's temperament is becoming more and more gloomy.

Until he knew the truth of everything, his suppressed emotions erupted in an instant. All this was just a trick of the Patriarch of the Ming Family. The old Xuanwu who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years has never seen anything in the world, but because of Ming Jue and the Ming family's prominent position in the beast city, he retreats and endures time and time again.

The old head of the Ming family realized that as long as Xuanwu survived, there would be no hope for him to take that position, so he sent Ming Jue, the youngest grandson of the Ming family, there to learn from a teacher. The news that he has been sick for nearly a hundred years and intends to transfer the position of the city lord, so being the only apprentice of the old Xuanwu is undoubtedly the first choice.The hearts of the Ming family settled down.

But because of the momentary compassion of old Xuanwu, he brought back a little radish and accepted him as a disciple, and the Ming family felt the crisis.

Only after Xie Qiaonan's death, their plan for many years is not in vain. The pursuit, murder and frame-up are all their conspiracy.

That time, Xie Qiaonan made a careless move, and got caught by the man who plotted against him. The man grabbed his hair, lifted it up and pressed it firmly on the ground, almost embedded in it. The man spat on the ground, He sighed viciously to his companion, "This kid is so fucking cunning, we have been squatting for a year and finally caught him."

The other one was also very impatient, "Hurry up, cut off the head and take it back to hand in, this has been scolded for a year."

The light of the knife flashed, but there was no severe pain as imagined, only the sound of two heavy objects falling to the ground, Xie Qiaonan grabbed the weeds on the ground with both hands, raised his head with a full face, but saw his master shaking his head. Staring indifferently into his eyes with a fan.

"Master..." Xie Qiaonan's voice was hoarse, his eyes were bloodshot, Xuanwu Shenjun's usual inconspicuous appearance was not visible, and majesty and reproach were revealed in his cold eyes.

Xie Qiaonan gradually lowered his head, Wuyan was looking at the eyes that could almost see through him.

Xuanwu Shenjun sat down with his legs crossed, bent over and supported on one hand, and nodded his head with the handle of his fan, "Do you know why you have been persecuted so much as a teacher and turned a blind eye?"

Xie Qiaonan pursed his lips and remained silent, but his eyes dimmed.

Xuanwu Shenjun continued: "The head of the Ming family is not normal, and his heart has been filled with desire for power. Your master, I will leave here one day. He also hinted at me explicitly, but I have been thinking about it until Your senior brother became my disciple, and I felt that this day would always come, so we each took a step back."

"Although your senior brother looks like a fool, he is like a little white lotus in the mud. It is a good choice for him to take over this position. With the support of big families like the Ming family, at least After I left, Beast City was barely able to survive in this world of cultivating immortals. He regarded you as a thorn in his side. At first, he threatened you again and again because he was trying to be a teacher. Nannan... But your actions in recent years have even surprised me. I don’t understand you anymore, do you really want this position? I brought you back as a teacher just to make you happy and peaceful for the rest of your life... Your mother clan is a special existence among the beast clan, their lifespan is extremely short and you are more It’s no exception, isn’t it good to live happily in the beast city for more than 100 years?”

Xie Qiaonan's hands seemed to be embedded in the mud, the white joints protruded, the veins on his forehead throbbed, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Xuanwu Shenjun sighed deeply, "You are indeed outstanding, even better than your senior brother, but Nannan, can you guarantee that the beast city will not be chaotic after you die?"

Xie Qiaonan lowered his head and buried himself among the weeds. With one hand, he grabbed Xuanwu Shenjun's robe tightly, and his voice was like a mosquito, "No...Master, I never..."

Lord Xuanwu: "Huh?"

Xie Qiaonan whimpered, with a strong nasal tone in his voice, "I never thought of fighting for this seat with senior brother, I just don't want to, why should they be suspicious because of non-existent things, they slandered me and made me separate from senior brother, if senior brother really I think so I can spend my whole life in Beast City without any complaints, but no, senior brother has been kept in the dark, why, why should they?!"

Xie Qiaonan was full of grievances and anger and couldn't vent, his voice was choked with sobs, he was nearly a hundred years old, and he didn't have a few years to live, but Mingjue's misunderstanding of him was the lingering pain in Xie Qiaonan's heart. He is not reconciled to the grievances turning to dust, he doesn't want to die so early, he can't die!

"The old Patriarch of the Ming family is very ambitious. If he is really dedicated to the brother, it's fine. I can swallow all this and bring it into the grave, but can the master guarantee that all this is not his conspiracy? He is now supporting the brother After you leave, master, you will directly take over the position. What will senior brother do then? Betrayed by the person closest to him, what would he think... He is such a proud person..."

Xuanwu Shenjun fell into a brief silence, and Xie Qiaonan continued: "If this is the case, I would rather my brother hate me. While I am still alive, I will cut off all the wings of the old thing of the Ming family. The beast city can only be the brother's beast city. It is the beast city of all the people of the beast city, not a tool they use to make profits."

"You..." Xuanwu Shenjun was dumbfounded for a moment, "But what about you, silly boy, that kid Mingjue is just an idiot, so why are you stupid too."

Xie Qiaonan raised his head, full of hope, "Master, please help the disciple. Brother, he has been idle all his life, and his mind is pure and he doesn't want to get blood on his hands, so let me be this knife. I know that Master is in trouble, you I don’t want to fight to the death with the Ming family, after all, if you turn against them in your capacity, then the beast city will become a mess, but the disciple is different.”

Xuanwu Shenjun supported him and sat opposite him, "How sure are you..."

……

Xie Qiaonan slowly took his hand away, and he suppressed all the gauntness on his face. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and a delicate dimple appeared on his cheeks. Although his smile was warm, it carried a bit of bitterness.There was only one last step left, and he was completely liberated after the last step was over.

When he saw Xie Qiaonan again, Xie Nian saw that he was the same Xie Qiaonan he had seen before, with a faint smile on his lips from time to time, and the deep meaning in his eyes was the insidious and cunning like an old fox, which was hard to figure out.Seeing Xie Nian, the smile on Xie Qiao Nan's mouth became even wider, making Xie Nian take a few steps back unconsciously.

Xie Nian: "Now when I see you smiling at me, I feel that you have plots against me."

The two walked on the path in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion. They were dressed in white, one was very calm and the other was lively and jumping. In May, the City Lord's Mansion was full of flowers and branches, and white or pink petals were flying in the sky from time to time. The golden sun poured down. Sprinkled down, the beauty is like a picture scroll.

Xie Qiaonan slightly raised his head and let out a sigh of relief, his curled eyelashes seemed to be covered with a layer of golden light, "The weather is getting warmer, and it will be the festival of the gods in a few days. I will take you to meet someone."

Xie Nian turned his head to look at him, "Then let's go."

After leaving the city lord's mansion, the two came to a remote corner of the beast city. This place is probably a civilian area. Although the house is old, it looks relatively clean.Xie Qiaonan pushed the door open, Xie Nian clearly heard a suppressed cough, Xie Qiaonan quickened his pace, and entered the back room through the yard.

Xie Nian also followed, only to find a middle-aged man lying on the bed in the back room. Xie Qiaonan sat on the edge of the bed and put his hands against his wrist tendons, continuously sending spiritual power, and the suppressed coughing sound gradually subsided. calm.

The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes and saw Xie Qiaonan's brows relaxed, "Thanks to you, Qiao Nan, I didn't expect you to save my life in my lifetime..." The middle-aged man laughed at himself, " The person I wanted to kill back then saved my life, but my blood relatives want to put me to death by any means."

Oh hoo, there is information.Xie Nian groped for the teacup at the table and poured a glass of water for Xie Qiaonan, then sat down on the stool, waiting to eat melons.

Xie Qiaonan fed him some water and sighed, "Why did uncle say that?"
