After an unknown amount of time, the young man rose from the ashes. Everywhere he went there was panic. The originally prosperous streets were in chaos because of his arrival.
Ling Xiao seemed to be unable to hear any sounds from the outside world. He lowered his head and hunched his body, walking aimlessly like a soulless zombie.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xiao walked out of Huang Yuancheng and came to a bamboo forest.
Ling Xiao's eyes were empty. He didn't know why he came here.
Maybe it's because this is the place where he grew up, or maybe it carries his few emotions.
Deep in the bamboo forest, a thatched cottage appeared in front of you.
Ling Xiao stumbled and opened the door. No one had been there for a long time, and the place was full of dust.
The sun was blazing, and it was already a little hot outside, but it was extremely cold inside the bamboo house.
The young man seemed to have been drained of all his strength, lying on the old bamboo bed, hunched over, curled up, and hugged himself tightly.
This is my and my grandma’s home.
It was also the first stop for him and Mu'er to escape.
But why...why do they abandon themselves?
Why are you leaving!
A line of blood and tears fell from the corner of the young man's eyes.
Looking at the helpless young man, Xie Shizi sighed leisurely, but didn't say a word.
He thought of the dream that the remnant spirit of the God of Disaster had spun for him in the Qiong Forest.
Perhaps it was because he had been abandoned that he longed for a peaceful life so much.
only……
Being abandoned again was such a blow, and he didn't know when he would be able to get over it.
He glanced at the letter left by Mu'er in the silver box.
The evil dead son opened it indifferently.
Although it was not the first time he saw it, he still didn't understand what Mu'er wanted to express.
"Little beggar, I'm leaving, don't miss me."
eight characters
Just eight words
Enough to completely defeat all of Ling Xiao's psychological defenses!
…
Hundreds of feet high in the sky, on top of a boat.
The girl looked indifferent, sitting quietly on the deck, staring blankly at the sky in front of her.
A young man walked out of the cabin, holding two bottles of wine in his hand.
"Here, your favorite Baihua wine."
The boy placed the jug next to the girl and drank by himself.
The girl was speechless and opened the wine cork. The originally sweet and refreshing sake was now full of bitterness in her mouth.
"Just leave like this? Just leave him eight words?" the young man said with a smile.
"If there's nothing good to say, just shut up." Mu'er's face was full of disdain.
"Hey, I owe you this time. After all, I shamelessly plotted against you and many others."
Even though he said this, there was no trace of guilt on the young man's face. Instead, he looked free and easy.
"When these words come out of your mouth, it's really disgusting."
Mu'er couldn't help but sneer.
"Oh, I'm sorry, little master, but it's just what a retainer should do," the young man said.
"Forget it, I don't blame him too much. After all, this day will come sooner or later, but your appearance made him come too quickly."
Mu'er took a deep sip, her expression indifferent, showing no emotion or anger.
"Oh, this is my fault, but you also know that the deadline is approaching and there is nothing we can do."
Speaking of this, the young man seemed a little helpless.
"Oh, I can also tell you clearly that I have practiced that technique." Mu'er sneered.
"Well, I know this, otherwise I wouldn't let Ye Ming and the others capture you." The young man said with a smile.
"I gave that box to someone else," Mu'er said.
"puff!"
"What the hell?!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
The young man changed his previous dissolute attitude and almost roared.
"Oh, you didn't even ask."
Mu'er's face was indifferent, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
"you!"
"You! Why are you so vicious? Do you know what that box means?"
The young man clenched his hands tightly, but there was nothing he could do.
"Of course I know. I know better than you. Take care of yourself." Mu'er smiled coldly.
"Okay, you can do it, Li Mu'er... You're cruel, I didn't expect that you would trick me at the last moment!" the young man said.
"Oh, don't forget what you promised me before," Mu'er said leisurely.
"Killing aristocratic families and slaughtering sects with blood. Although I really don't want to cause trouble to myself, I have no reason to refuse this offer."
The young man snorted coldly and returned to the cabin.
Mu'er smiled coldly, and her eyes became lively again.
"Little beggar, you must come to me..."
…
Seven days later, Ling Xiao was still lying on the bamboo bed like a log, his eyes empty.
Seeing Ling Xiao's appearance, Xie Shizi couldn't help but sit beside the young man.
"Today, Zhou Duanqian received the serial inheritance of the empire, founded a family, and took over Huang Yuancheng. The original Xuanling Sect is still retained, but it is still under Zhou Duanqian's control."
Xie Shizi's words made Ling Xiao frown slightly, but his eyes remained empty.
"As you can guess, the little witch has a mysterious background and the power behind her is extremely huge. In this case, I'm afraid we are all being used as pawns."
"As you know very well, it is extremely bad for aristocratic families to wipe out their families and sects to be massacred. However, recently, no force has come to trouble us."
"She is protecting you..."
Ling Xiao looked moved and stood up suddenly, trying desperately to recall everything that had happened before.
He lost his mind because of Mu'er's sudden disappearance, and in a rage, he vented all his previous hatred.
All this may have been doomed for a long time, and the person manipulating everything behind the scenes has gradually surfaced!
"You also know that there is no one above the family except the royal family of the Tiancang Empire and the top ten guardian families who have the ability to erase all of this."
"I'm afraid that Zhou Duanqian is also involved. I think you should understand all of this."
After Xie Shizi said this, he slowly walked out of the door.
Ling Xiao looked at his hands blankly and was speechless for a long time.
…
The person who manipulated everything behind this used himself and Mu'er to make himself an enemy of the Ye family and the Tiangang Sect.
Essentially, it is to eradicate oneself, otherwise one would eradicate them.
The biggest beneficiary of this...
Zhou Duanqian!
After this incident happened, the relationship between the person behind the scenes and Mu'er became unequal and antagonistic.
Mu'er will agree to all his conditions in order to protect herself!
boom!
Ling Xiao's spirit trembled violently, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
This guy……
His vicious thoughts and ruthless methods were far beyond his imagination.
Zhou Duanqian is just a dog under his command!
Mu'er was...
It is very likely that he is in Xuanling Sect!
Ling Xiao stood up fiercely, disappeared in an instant, and ran towards Huang Yuan City like crazy!
