After listening to Tianlang's narration, Xudong looked at Tianlang in a daze, nodded slowly, and sighed: "The beauty is the result of anger."
Saying that, Xudong also drank all the wine in the glass, then picked up the wine bottle, filled his own glass with wine, picked up the glass, looked at the two of them, and said calmly:
"Do you want to hear my story?"
Tianlang and Xue Qian did not speak, but at the same time they looked at Xudong silently with concerned eyes. They were also very curious about Xudong's past.
After drinking all the wine in the glass happily, Xudong slammed the glass on the table and said quietly:
"My story begins a long time ago. When I was seven years old, my sister was sixteen. That day was her wedding day. In our country, when women get married, there is no custom of covering their heads.
I still remember that it was a bright spring morning.
I got up early in the morning and ran to the mountains to pick the most beautiful sunflowers that only bloom in the early morning. I wanted to knit the most beautiful flower hat for my sister.
However, when I returned home full of joy, what I saw was not a festive wedding procession, but three cold corpses.
The corpses of my father and mother were lying across the hall. I will never forget the twisted expressions of pain, grief and anger on their faces.
As for my sister, her clothes were disheveled, her face was streaked with tears, and she was hanging in the main room with a three-foot-long white silk ribbon.
Until her death, she held a broken piece of cloth tightly in her hand.
On that piece of cloth, there was a pattern of a bloody dagger.
At that time, I was completely confused. I sat in the room in a daze, my mind went blank. I sat there for three days and three nights, and then I suddenly burst into tears.
After burying my parents and sister, seven-year-old me burned down our home.
I swore in my heart that I would avenge my family, but I didn’t even know who my enemy was. The only clue was the bloody dagger pattern.
As a seven-year-old child, I wandered around without a home. I begged on the streets and even competed with wild dogs for food. But at that time, I couldn't even compete with a thin wild dog.
I struggled to survive by begging, stealing, or eating other people's leftovers. Once I fell ill, I had a fever for three days and three nights, and I didn't drink any water. I thought I was going to die, but maybe it was because of the feeling in my heart.
Maybe it was because of my obsession that I finally got over it.
In this way, I struggled to live until I was nine years old, but the hatred in my mind did not diminish at all, but became more intense.
That day, I was begging, and suddenly I saw a man. His clothes had the same pattern as the rag, a knife dripping with blood.
At that time, I didn't care about anything and rushed forward desperately, hitting him with my fists and biting him with my mouth, hoping to kill him. But he was easily shaken away. If there weren't others around him, I think I would have directly killed him.
Died by his hands.
Watching him swaggeringly disappearing from my sight, I almost broke my teeth, tears rolled down my face, and I banged my head on the ground desperately, breaking my head and bleeding, to vent my unwillingness.
Everyone around me thought I was crazy.
But just then, a tall man appeared. He walked up to me, pulled me up, took me to a clean inn, and then asked me what happened.
I didn't have any scheming at all at the time, so he asked me and I told him everything.
After listening, he was silent for a long time, and finally looked into my eyes and asked me: "Do you want revenge? If you want revenge, come with me."
With that said, he turned around and walked out of the inn without looking at me again.
At that time, I was only thinking about revenge and had no other thoughts. Suddenly I heard a person say such words to me. I immediately seemed to see hope and followed him out of the inn without hesitation.
He walked in front, and I followed behind. We walked out of the small town, walked through a patch of thorns, and walked into the barren mountains.
He seemed never to be tired or hungry. He was just in front of me, walking slowly and slowly, and I was following all the way behind.
At that time, I was like a man possessed. I didn't care whether I was thirsty or hungry, and I just followed him closely.
The shoes, which were already worn out, soon became completely useless, so I stepped on the gravel with my feet to keep up with his footsteps in the mountains. Later, I lost all feeling in my feet, so I used my hands to crawl on the ground.
For three days and three nights, I, a nine-year-old child, followed him across a thousand miles. To this day, I don’t know how I did it.
Finally, I exhausted my last strength. When I crossed a hillside, I rolled down the hillside and passed out.
When I woke up, I was already in a cave, and the man was standing in front of me.
He gave me a set of training techniques, 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones, a bloody spear, and then left.
Before leaving, he left me a jade slip, which recorded the detailed address of the sect with the blood knife as its symbol.
After getting the cultivation method, I finally saw the hope of revenge, so I went crazy and practiced day and night in the mountains.
Speaking of which, my qualifications are not excellent, but inspired by the hatred in my heart, I have made rapid progress in my practice. At the age of twenty-seven, I finally successfully formed the elixir.
On the day when the elixir was formed, I came to the sect called Evil Sword and killed all 721 people in the sect, leaving no one alive!
When their blood was splashed on my body, I felt relief from my soul. Every shot seemed to be stabbed into the murderer's chest, frantically venting the anger in my heart.
That night, I became a killer!
After slaying the Evil Sword Sect, I returned to the graves of my parents and sister covered in blood. I laughed for three days and then cried for seven days.
The great revenge was avenged, but apart from the crazy excitement that night, I didn't feel the slightest joy. Instead, there was an emptiness that continued to expand and gradually enveloped my entire mind.
I suddenly felt that life had no meaning, and I actually had the will to die in my heart.
But at this moment, I suddenly remembered the man who taught me the exercises. He was kind to me and I must repay him.
So, I kept searching according to the clues in the jade slips he left me, and finally found it in the Blood Castle.
It wasn't until then that I realized that he was not a human being, but Prince Denton of the blood race.
However, there is not much difference between the human race and the blood race to me. If he is kind to me, I will repay him.
From then on, I became Prince Denton's confidant and followed him to the death. I gave birth to a baby at the age of forty-three and was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul at the age of fifty. I went through life and death for the prince and gave my entire life to the prince.
It is precisely because of my loyalty that the prince gave me the task of protecting the princess. From the moment I agreed to the prince, my entire life belonged only to the princess.
Protecting the princess is my only destiny in this life. I will use my life and everything to protect the princess. Unless I die, I will never let the princess get hurt again."
As he said that, Xudong turned his head and looked at Xue Qian, his eyes full of seriousness and shining with determination.
Perhaps too much time has passed, and Xudong has looked past all this. He seems very calm in his narration, as if he is talking about something that has nothing to do with him.
But when Tianlang and Xue Qian, who were listening silently, heard Xudong's experience, their feelings were completely different.
For the first time, they knew that Xudong actually carried such a past.
Looking at Xudong silently, Tianlang looked a little complicated, while Xue Qian's eyes were already red, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Brother Xudong, it turns out that your past..."
Looking at Xue Qian's red eyes, Xudong himself didn't care. He smiled casually and said, "It's nothing. That's all in the past. I'm really sorry. Saying it made you cry, princess."
Looking at Xudong's carefree smile, Sirius's heart was inexplicably throbbing, and a unique feeling arose spontaneously, like admiration and sympathy. He looked at Xudong and smiled, and slowly raised his glass: "We are the same
The end of the world is like a human being."
Drink it all in one gulp!
Xudong also nodded to Sirius and drank all the wine in the glass.
After Xue Qian learned about the life experiences of Tianlang and Xudong, her heart was even more agitated and she couldn't calm down. She suddenly felt that compared with the two people, her experience was not so pitiful. At least, she had been happy.
childhood.
And all along, it was these two scarred men who faced everything with strength and took care of themselves.
Thinking like this, Xue Qian suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart. She wiped her red eyes, raised the wine glass in front of her, looked at Sirius and the two men, and said quietly:
"Five years ago, my father and mother were all killed. Thanks to the care of my master and Brother Xudong, I can face everything with strength and survive to this day.
I have always thought that I was the most pitiable, but today I realized that it is not that I am too pitiful, but that I am not strong enough.
There are no pitiable people in the world, only pitiful hearts. From now on, Xue Qian will definitely be as strong as you."
Saying that, Xue Qian pursed her red lips and said with blurred eyes: "Five years ago, I lost my family and my family, but today I discovered that I did not lose everything.
Because I still have a family, Tuluo Sect is my home, and you two are my family."
"Home..." Sirius' eyes flickered and he murmured in a low voice.
"Home..." Xudong's eyes flashed with a strange look.
"That's right, the three of us are one family." Xue Qian nodded heavily, with a moving look in her eyes, and raised the jade cup in her hand into the air.
"Yes, our home."
Xudong's eyes flashed and he raised his glass!
"I finally have a family..."
Sirius sighed and raised his glass!
The faint moonlight slanted in through the window, and three fluorescent jade cups met together in the full moon. The wine in the cup swayed, flashing with an intoxicating brilliance.
That night, the three of them drank a lot of wine, but they did not use magic to resolve it. Until the moon was at the top of the sky, all three of them were slightly drunk.
After finishing another glass of wine, Sirius turned to Xudong with a faint smile on his face and asked, "Tell me, have you got any news since you came here?"
When Xudong came here before, he had something to discuss with Sirius, but he was diverted from the topic by Sirius, so he didn't say anything until now.
At this time, when he heard Sirius asking the real question, Xudong's eyes flashed, he frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice:
"Fu Ling Sect once again sent envoys to bring hundreds of fire crystals to express their goodwill towards us and intend to unite."
