Not long after the Hundred Cities War of Talents ended.
The Gu family of Qingshan City ranked first.
It's winter, with heavy snowfall.
Inside Gu's mansion, there were lanterns and colorful decorations, singing and dancing, and joy abounded.
Outside the bustling Gu family's mansion, on the deserted road, a petite little girl with a face flushed from the cold was dragging a large door panel hard.
Her face was haggard but stubborn, her clothes were ragged, and the cloth shoes under her feet were riddled with holes, leaving bright red footprints on the snow mixed with oozing blood.
When she arrived at the place, the girl struggled to level the door panel.
And above the door panel, there was actually a pale and dying young man lying.
The girl stretched out her frostbitten hands and pulled the simple quilt made of thatch, fearing that the boy on the door would catch the cold again.
After doing this, she looked at the Gu Mansion with the door closed, and after much hesitation, she shouted with all her strength: "Second uncle, Hongye, please give me medicine!"
Unfortunately, the Gu family did not respond.
"Tsk, tsk, Gu Jian won the Heavenly Star Order and obtained the Panlong Cauldron for the Gu family, but he ended up homeless and hopeless."
On the trail, people from the city stopped from time to time and pointed at the two of them.
"The Gu family is really ruthless."
"So what if I'm not ruthless?"
"Gu Jian was just the adopted son of the Gu family, and now he has been abandoned. Why should the Gu family spend money and material resources to raise a useless person who is destined to have no future?"
"My brother is not a useless person!"
When she heard someone scolding her brother, the little girl suddenly raised her head and yelled at the person.
Her brother Gu Jian had reached the fourth level of Qi Refining at the age of only seventeen. He was once the number one genius in the Gu family and even the entire Qingshan City.
Three months ago, my elder brother represented the Gu family in Qingyun County's five-year competition for the talents of hundreds of tribes, competing with the geniuses of hundreds of cities for the Panlong Cauldron that can suppress luck.
My brother grabbed the Panlong Cauldron.
But in the final melee, he was attacked by another genius and was seriously injured.
On the way back to Qingshan City with the Panlong Cauldron, his brother was attacked again.
Even though the sea of qi was destroyed by a powerful enemy, his cultivation was exhausted, and he was almost seriously injured to death, my brother still came back step by step with the Panlong Cauldron.
He is a hero!
But when he got home, what awaited him was not a reward, but a naked betrayal!
The Panlong Cauldron that the elder brother risked his life to get back was taken by his second uncle Gu Zhenlei as his own.
Even the championship prize of the Talent Competition, the Star Order, which allowed him to enter the Royal Capital's Star Academy, was also given to his eldest son by Gu Zhenlei.
The two brothers and sister were ruthlessly kicked out of the house.
The most important thing is that her brother needs elixir to save his life. She can't ignore it and can only come and ask for it.
Seeing the little girl looking like a tiger protecting its calf, many passers-by shook their heads and sighed funny.
"Second uncle! For the sake of my brother bringing back the Panlong Cauldron, please save him!"
Gu Hongye knelt down in pain, looking helplessly at the door on the increasingly deserted street, slapping her forehead that was bleeding continuously.
squeak!
The door to Gu's mansion finally opened.
The person he saw was his second uncle Gu Zhenlei, and a glimmer of hope appeared in Gu Hongye's desperate eyes.
"Second uncle, please show your kindness and give me some medicine to save my brother."
Gu Zhenlei said coldly: "Your brother is already like a bird. No matter how expensive the medicine is, it can't save him. Treatment is just a waste."
"No, brother must be saved!"
Gu Hongye shook his head stubbornly.
"If your second uncle doesn't give you medicine, please return the Tianxing Order to your brother. I will take your brother to Tianxing Academy to ask for medicine!"
"Don't be ridiculous, a loser whose Qihai has been destroyed, what qualifications does he have to go to Tianxing Academy?" Gu Zhenlei snorted coldly.
"Second uncle, my brother has gone through fire and water for the Gu family, you can't do this to him!" Gu Hongye's eyes turned red and she gritted her teeth, "If you didn't even give your brother a way to survive, Hongye would have crashed to death here today!"
Gu Zhenlei didn't care and said with a mischievous smile: "You can save your brother if you want me to, but the elixir is very expensive, so you can't take it for free."
Seeing that Gu Zhenlei relaxed, Gu Hongye said with hope: "Second uncle, as long as you are willing to save my brother, no matter how much money you have, Hongye will work hard to repay you!"
Hearing this, Gu Zhenlei's eyes showed a smile of successful conspiracy, and he said seriously:
"I don't want you to pay back the money. As long as you are willing to transplant your own different pupils to my son, I will naturally save your brother."
"Strange eyes?"
Gu Hongye was suddenly shocked.
Her brother once told her that her eyes were unique and could one day awaken great power.
She once dreamed of awakening her special eyes, gaining powerful abilities, and then protecting her brother...
This is an innate opportunity, extremely precious.
But compared to his brother's life, what does a pair of eyes mean?
"Brother, you are saved!"
Gu Hongye cried with joy.
"You are such a good sister!"
The smile on Gu Zhenlei's face became even bigger.
The final goal has been achieved!
His son Gu Hai has been dormant for so many years, just waiting for this opportunity!
When he gets Gu Hongye's strange eyes, and then relies on the Tianxing Order that Gu Jian regained, he can enter the Tianxing Academy in the royal capital, and he will surely rise to the top in the future and become a powerful person in the Tianxing Kingdom!
Things like different pupils can only be dug out intact if the owner is willing.
He was forcing Gu Hongye to accept his fate.
Gu Zhenlei smiled and ordered the servants of Gu Mansion to carry Gu Jian in on the door panel.
It took a lot of effort to lift up the huge door panel, Gu Jian, who was still in his prime, and two tall and thick servants.
This shows how difficult it was for the petite Gu Hongye to drag Gu Jian here.
Naturally, Gu Zhenlei would not care about these details and said indifferently to Gu Hongye: "Just follow me. As soon as the alien pupil transplantation is completed, I will immediately come up with the elixir to save your brother."
"Okay, you have to keep your word."
Gu Hongye was timid but firm.
…
At this moment, Gu Jian was lying in a dilapidated woodshed, gradually regaining consciousness.
"Hongye, where are you?..."
In the past few days, he has been in a coma almost all the time, not knowing what happened.
Suddenly he heard comments coming from outside the door.
"Speaking of which, that silly girl Gu Hongye actually agreed to the second master's request."
Outside the door, two guards of the Gu family stood.
"Yes, those are natural pupils. In order to save the life of her good-for-nothing brother, she actually wanted to transplant them to Young Master Gu Hai."
"Hongye wants to trade his strange eyes for my life! No, absolutely not!"
Gu Jian inside the room was so anxious that he wanted to get up, but fell to the ground due to weakness.
Boom!
His movements attracted the attention of the guards, and the two rushed into the woodshed to check.
"So it's you loser who woke up." Seeing Gu Jian fall to the ground, the two guards not only showed no intention of helping him, but also had a look of teasing on their faces.
"Where are the red leaves?!" Gu Jian asked eagerly, regardless of the two people's sarcasm.
Seeing this, the fatter one among the guards stepped on Gu Jian's back.
"Gu Jian, you are worse than a dog now, how dare you talk to us in such a questioning tone?"
In addition to being humiliated, the fat guard stepped hard on his feet, making Gu Jian grit his teeth.
The thin guard looked on coldly, "Before you worry about your sister, you should worry about yourself first. You won't live long."
"Ah!" Gu Jian struggled to resist.
Seeing Gu Jian doing useless work, the thin guard said amusedly: "But your sister is really stupid, she actually believed the lies of the second master. If she knew, even if she sacrificed her natural eyes, the second master would not save you, you
Guess what the expression will be?"
Hearing this, Gu Jian was furious, but also extremely sad: "Hongye, it's all my brother's uselessness, you must not do anything stupid!"
After the grief, he hurriedly looked at the two guards and begged: "Gu Dong, Gu Xi! For the sake of my kindness to you in the past, take me to see her. I...I beg you!"
As long as he could get rid of his sister's idea of transplanting different eyes, Gu Zhenlei would never dare to touch her easily, so she might have a chance to escape.
Seeing Gu Jian begging like a slave, the grin on the fat guard Gu Dong's face became even more proud.
"I didn't expect that the young master who was once so aloof would now have to ask for help from us servants. It's a pity that we really can't help you."
The skinny Gu Xi shook his head and said, "Gu Jian, since you have been very kind to us in the past, I will tell you the truth.
After Gu Hongye hands over her strange pupils and successfully transplants them into Young Master Gu Hai, she will be betrothed to Young Master Gu Yang.
The second master said that you two brothers and sisters have made the best use of everything."
