The thirteenth year of Yongtai, spring.
After the vernal equinox, the drizzle continues.
The rain is gone and the clouds are blooming, and the grass and trees are fragrant.
It was at such a very comfortable time that a young man in white clothes, handsome and upright walked out of Wujian Villa and embarked on the road to the world.
The boy's name is Xiao Xuan. He was twenty years old this year.
Xiao Xuan's father... Xiao Zhun, when he was young, had an entanglement with many women, but in the end, he only took a scoop of Wushui Sanqian and never married any concubines again. Even after his wife died of dysfunction, Xiao Zhun, who was less than thirty years old, did not have any thoughts of re-stringing again. This seemed to be an incredible thing in that era.
But Xiao Zhun, he was willing.
It was also from that time that Xiao Zhun's life only had two important things left: one was a sword; the other was Xiao Xuan.
Sword Technique is something that Xiao Zhun must study. This is the foundation of their Wujian Villa in the martial arts world. For the sake of the ancestors of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhun should defend this foundation.
Xiao Xuan was the only son left to Xiao Zhun in this life. In any case, Xiao Zhun also hopes that this son will have a future in the future.
Everyone, please note that the "prosperity" in Xiao Zhun's eyes is obviously different from our understanding...
Generally speaking, in the eyes of most people, their children can support themselves in the future, have a decent job, and live a less difficult life. If you find a partner with a good match, it will be considered "prosperous"; and what's more inflated is nothing more than hoping that their children can become rich, rich, or a high-ranking official in the future.
But Xiao Zhun is different. He is the owner of Wujian Villa. As his son, his starting point is basically the end point for many people. After all, there are countless people in this world who can't have the same martial arts and status as the "Young owner of Wujian Villa".
Therefore, according to Xiao Zhun's expectations, even if Xiao Xuan cannot become the leader of the martial arts world in the future, he should be like himself, at least to maintain the foundation and status of Wujian Villa and look down on the side.
Xiao Xuan was actually quite successful. As mentioned in the previous article, he was indeed very talented and had his father's careful teaching, so when he was a teenager, Xiao Xuan could easily defeat many famous masters in the village.
So, in the year when Xiao Xuan became an adult, Xiao Zhun finally decided to let his son go down the mountain to experience it.
Of course... Everyone knows the character of Lord Xiao. He must have sent someone to secretly follow and protect this son, otherwise he would not be relieved.
Xiao Xuan also knows this, but he doesn't care. Just follow him, just follow him, don't get in the way.
…………
This twenty-year-old Xiao Xian is well-educated, full of ideals, passionate and hates evil.
Although like many young masters who grew up in a greenhouse-like environment, he inevitably had some inexperience and innocence, fortunately his martial arts are very high, and he is enough to pay for his innocence.
In addition, he had the identity of "Young Master of Wujian Villa" as a talisman, and someone always secretly protected him. Therefore, Xiao Xuan had been in the world for more than half a year, but he had never encountered any setbacks.
until……
The thirteenth year of Yongtai, winter.
This year, a group of bandits appeared on the north bank of the Hutuo River, known as the "Eighteen Evil Wars", which can be said to be raped, raped, and committed all kinds of evil.
Although many martial arts heroes went to encircle and suppress, the group of people relied on their local snakes and were familiar with the terrain. So they took advantage of the severe winter and hid in the dense forests of the snow-capped mountains, making it hard to find.
Xiao Xuan, who heard the news, went deep into the mountains to chase the bandits with the courage of the young man who was not afraid of heaven and earth.
However, when he searched for three days and three nights in a row and finally found the other party, he was already unable to maintain his physical strength due to hunger and cold.
And at this moment, the men sent by Xiao Zhun to secretly protect him were also separated from him in the heavy snow.
Just as Xiao Xuan was besieged by the eighteen evil swords and his life was hanging on a thread, a flute sound suddenly came, instantly turning the situation around...
…………
When they left the snow-capped mountains, Xiao Xuan and Wen Yuzhai had become close friends.
These two young talents with similar ages (Wen Yuzhai is two years older than Xiao Xuan), who are similar inspirations, can be said to hit it off and they met too late.
After dealing with the eighteen evil gods, Wen Yuzhai invited Xiao Xuan to his cottage as a guest, but Xiao Xuan did not refuse.
During the Spring Festival of the second year, Xiao Xuan spent all the time in the thatched cottage picked by Wen Yu. For more than a month, both of them were discussing martial arts in the thatched cottage, and they were having a great time.
…………
The 14th year of Yongtai, summer.
Xiao Xuan met a woman.
Yes, there will always be such a woman in such a story.
Because if you replace this woman with a man, you may not be able to see this story.
The woman Xiao Xuan met was a bandit, and a female bandit leader.
The process of their encounter was very simple. That day, Xiao Xuan passed through a mountain road and was robbed. He controlled the other party with his backhand and found the other party all the way.
Then, Xiao Xuan met a female village leader.
Her name is Kan Xianghan. She is twenty-one this year, the same age as Xiao Xuan. According to common sense in Da Shi... this is considered an older single woman.
Kan Xianghan's appearance is very distinctive, and according to the current saying, it is called "neutral"; if she was that man, then her appearance should be considered a peerless handsome guy, and as a woman, she can be said to be heroic and cool, with a shiny and moon-like charm.
When Xiao Xuan saw her, he felt that the female bandit leader's words and deeds were different from those of ordinary women, and he couldn't help but become interested in her.
The two of them fought immediately, and Kan Xianghan was naturally not Xiao Xuan's opponent, but Xiao Xuan also saw that the other party was very skilled and was not an ordinary bandit, so he did not kill her immediately, but asked a few more questions.
Once I asked, I realized that Kan Xianghan was originally a small leader of the Five Spirit Sect, but because he could not stand some of the behaviors in the sect, he abdicated and fled.
However, people who possess the martial arts of the Five Spirits Sects were not tolerated by other sects in the Central Plains martial arts world. This is something that everyone knows about Shen Youran’s past experience, so Kan Xianghan could not walk freely in the world; so she simply occupied the mountain and became a bandit.
Of course, Kan Xianghan is a relatively conscientious bandit. He is similar to the Niu brothers in the "Golden Foot Village" in the previous article. He basically only does robbing the rich and helping the poor and buying travel expenses. He generally does not harm human lives, nor does he rob women.
I will rob Xiao Xuan today, and of course it is because Xiao Xuan is a young master-like guy, and he looks like a rich man.
After hearing this, Xiao Xuan thought this girl...is not bad.
Although he thought at that time he was just a feeling of sympathy and appreciation for Kan Xianghan, you are well-informed and have seen this kind of scene for less than 10,000, and you should know that at this moment, Xiao Xuan had already fallen in love with her.
There is no reason to say about this kind of thing. The so-called "heart-moving" feeling is all suddenly generated.
Some people think they have it for the first time, while others have a chance to have arisen at a certain point in time after they have met each other for a while.
Of course, the physiological and chemical factors such as appearance and hormones are undeniable, but it is difficult to quantify the actual process of love between men and women, as well as the success rate, and it is difficult to quantify them specifically. In the end, it is still two words "fate".
It is certain that Xiao Xuan and Kan Xianghan have a "destiny", but are there any "divisions"...
…………
The 14th year of Yongtai, autumn.
Xiao Xuan wanted to take Kan Xianghan back to Wujian Villa to meet his father.
This is a decision that will change his life.
Kan Xianghan was very scared and uneasy. She knew what her origin meant, so she felt that people like Master Xiao would not accept a daughter-in-law like her.
But Xiao Xuan felt that his father was a reasonable person, and even if he did not agree, he would not do anything contrary to the morals of the world. If he took a step back, even if Xiao Zhun wanted to do it, Xiao Xuan had a way to prevent it.
"If he doesn't agree, I will take you away. I can stop being the young owner of Wujian Villa, and from then on I will stay with you forever and go far away."
This is Xiao Xuan’s truth, and Kan Xianghan naturally believed him, so she agreed to go back with him.
…………
A month later, Xiao Xuan brought about a dozen people back to Wujian Villa.
Except for Kan Xianghan, the others are all friends he has made in the world over the past year.
Among them, there are many senior officials, disciples, and heroes with great statements.
Of course... Wen Yupiao is also among them.
Xiao Xuan felt that having these people present, Yu Gong could ensure Kan Xianghan's safety, and could also say a few good things for them both.
In this way, they came to Xiao Zhun...
Twenty years ago, Xiao Zhun might have done the same stupid thing for his beloved woman.
But when the incident happened to his son, even if Xiao Zhun could understand his son, he would not allow Xiao Xuan to marry a woman from a "demonic sect" to enter.
He was very sure that this was for the sake of Xiao Xuan's goodness and Wujian Villa. Even for Kan Xianghan, this was also a correct decision.
Maybe...he is right.
If he really agreed to this marriage, then in a few years, Xiao Xuan and Wujian Villa will likely encounter various problems because of Kan Xianghan's origin, and even cause disasters to destroy the family and destroy the sect.
This is the case in this world. As long as you have a little bit of criticism and slander, you will be fine if nothing happens. If something happens... someone will catch these things until you let your stomach throw you aside and show him how many bowls of flour there are.
So when Xiao Xuan brought Kan Xianghan to Xiao Zhun, Xiao Zhun's attitude was very firm. If he didn't, he wouldn't do it.
But Xiao Xian's attitude...is also very firm.
So Xiao Zhun adopted a delaying strategy and asked them to settle in the village first and let him think twice.
…………
Xiao Zhun may have deceived others temporarily, but he can't deceive Wen Yuzhai.
That night, Wen Yuzhai found Xiao Xuan and asked him to escape immediately with Kan Xianghan overnight and never come back.
However... his warning was still one step late.
When he and Xiao Xuan came to Kan Xianghan's room, the person was gone.
…………
When Xiao Xuan and Wen Yuzhai found Kan Xianghan, she had fallen into a pool of blood and became a corpse.
Xiao Zhun was standing next to the corpse, and the blade in his hand was still dripping with blood.
With Xiao Zhun's martial arts, if you want to kill Kan Xianghan, you can kill the other party instantly without the sword being bloodless.
But at the moment... he didn't choose this method.
Instead, he chose to stab the sword into the other party's abdomen in front of the other party, slowly cut off the other party's intestines, and then draw the sword out, causing death.
And when he was committing the crime, he called all the other "friends" invited by Xiao Xuan, except Wen Yuzhai, and watched him take action together.
"You...for...why!" Xiao Xuan collapsed. He knelt in front of the corpse, tears kept flowing down his face. His name for his father also changed from "dad" to "you".
In fact, Wen Yuzhai can also answer Xiao Zhun's answer to the answer to his question. As long as this woman is still alive, Xiao Xuan will not give up on her, but Xiao Zhun cannot allow them to be together, so she must die.
Of course, Xiao Zhun would not answer that way. His words were: "The demon girl in the Demon Cult was mixed into the villa and attempted to seduce me and seize my sword, so I killed her on the spot..."
"You fart!" Xiao Xuan stared at his blood-red eyes and cursed angrily.
"Don't you believe it?" Xiao Zhun said coldly, "If you don't believe it, you can ask everyone present, they have seen it all."
When Xiao Xuan heard this, he suddenly turned around and glared.
But what meets him is a pair of eyes that either flash or avoid, or are cold and calm...
"Yes, I saw it, too."
"Yes, I saw it below."
"What Master Xiao said is not false."
"Brother Xiao, Ling Zun is also for your own good. This demon woman is really a slut who can do her best. I saw her seducing your father with my own eyes, so why would she say... As long as you can enter Wujian Villa, you and your father will marry each other."
These people who were originally regarded as friends by Xiao Xuan, these so-called decent people and heroes... are all saying these obviously distorted facts at this moment, which makes Xiao Zhun, who is already sad and frightened, even more furious.
"Nonsense! I'll kill you!" Xiao Xuan immediately drew his sword and rushed towards the group of people.
"Rareless!" Xiao Zhun shouted angrily, about to stop him, but unexpectedly...
Smack
Wen Yuzhai, who stood closest to Xiao Xuan, suddenly took the lead and attacked Xiao Xuan from the back.
Xiao Xuan thought that among the people present, at least Wen Yuzhai, the real friend, was standing by his side, and he was not on guard against him...
How could he have thought that it was the person he trusted the most. At this moment, he raised his hand and slapped his Jianjing acupoint. Taking advantage of his dizziness, he took two more moves and pushed him to the ground.
"Brother Xiao, the facts are clear. I know it is difficult for you to accept, but I advise you to listen to your father and not make mistakes again and again..." Wen Yuzhai said after suppressing Xiao Xuan.
With Wen Yuzhai's wisdom and scheming, he naturally knew that at this moment, except for him and Xiao Xuan, everyone present had been bribed by Xiao Zhun in some way... They might have even been bribed before they promised Xiao Xuan to come to the villa.
Why didn't Xiao Zhun come to buy him Wen Yuzhai? It's very simple, because Xiao Zhun also knows that Wen Yuzhai is not a person who will surrender to coercion and temptation. When he comes to him, he will only alert him.
At present, Xiao Zhun has so many "personal witnesses" present. Even if Wen Yuzhai stands on Xiao Xuan's side and argues with reason, he will not be able to defend the other party... Even if he has defended, he will not be able to defeat him.
Besides... So what if I can beat you? Everyone is dead. Even if Xiao Xuan and Wen Yuzhai can kill all the people present today, Kan Xianghan will not be able to recover from the death.
To sum up, for the sake of his friend, Wen Yuzhai chose a way that might make him lose this friendship, but could minimize the damage.
Of course, he was not just for his friends. In fact, during this period, Wen Yuzhai had arranged for Gu Rong to be undercover in Wujian Villa for two years. Wen Yuzhai had known that Xiao Zhun had a problem, but he could not fight the other party for the time being and needed to wait for a suitable opportunity. He had previously made friends with Xiao Xuan, and he was intentional, but after actually making friends, Wen Yuzhai found that Xiao Xuan and Xiao Zhun were different. They were a friend and really regarded him as a friend.
"You...even you..." Seeing that his most trusted close friend did such a thing, Xiao Xuan was desperate.
Haruki Murakami once said this, "I always thought that people grow old slowly, but in fact they are not. People grow old in an instant."
At this time, Xiao Xian was roughly experiencing this moment.
On this day, he was desperate for the so-called heroes, his friendship, and his father.
As for "love", he has buried it in the soil with his heart.
…………
The day after that incident happened, Wen Yuzhai left Wujian Villa.
The others stayed for one more day, probably to get the benefits Xiao Xuan promised to them in advance.
Xiao Xian was placed under house arrest by his father.
Some people say he's crazy, maybe...
Xiao Zhun felt that time would heal everything, and his son would sooner or later cheer up. Even if Xiao Xuan never forgave him, it would be okay. After he died, he would still leave everything to Xiao Xuan.
He also felt that one day, when Xiao Xuan came to his position, he would eventually understand himself, and even if he was no longer there at that time, it wouldn't matter.
…………
About half a month later, one day, when the servant delivered food to Xiao Xuan, he found that he was lying on the bed with blood on his face, holding a fragment of a plate used for the meal in his hand.
When the servant saw the young owner committing suicide, he was so scared that he grabbed the door and hurried to notify the owner. However, when Xiao Zhun came with the doctor in the village, Xiao Xuan had already fainted and ran away when the guards were not paying attention.
Since Xiao Xuan cut the nerves on his face and did not treat it in time, his originally handsome face turned into a strange, stiff smile.
He himself has also changed from Xiao Xuan, the young owner of the real world, to a voluptuous villain, laughing Wuqi...
…………
Looking at the sword demon Xiao Zhun in front of him, all kinds of memories surged into his heart.
When he was young, he only knew Xiao Zhun's kindness as his father.
When he was a teenager, he received the earnest teachings as his teacher.
But when he was adulthood, he met a completely different father, a cold, cunning and scheming hero who could do anything to achieve his goals.
Xiao Wuji was once proud of his name and identity, but after seeing his father's true face and ability to act, he began to be afraid... because he realized later that in the year when he was twenty years old, there were too many dirty and bloody hidden behind his seemingly glamorous journey to the world.
Why are others frightened by his young owner’s name? How many people sent by his father to secretly follow him did that he didn’t know? How many so-called famous and upright sects and heroes in the world are truly “good people”?
Xiao Wuji may not be able to know these answers in his life. He only knew that now, facing Xiao Zhun, who has already transformed into a sword demon, he may be the key part of his victory...
At this moment, he saw his left sword and right sword, and he was in the position of the Seven Eyes, leading the formation.
