"You must be ignorant. I just heard last night that the city lord divorced his mother and deposed his crown prince. In a few days, the city lord will get married and a new crown prince will be established."
"Their mother and son are old, weak, sick and disabled. They are indeed a stain on the city lord. By the way, who is the new crown prince?"
"Nonsense, Li Zifeng! He is no worse than Li Tianming three years ago. It is even said that he is better than his predecessor."
For some people in Lihuo City, Li Tianming had lost the only identity that made them fearful, so they talked loudly and there was no need to cover up.
In the past three years, Mu Qingqing has destroyed his reputation and everything. Even Lihuo City, where he grew up, treats him as a street rat. To this day, he has long looked down upon his indifference to human relationships.
My mother said that time will give answers to injustice and shame. A truly strong heart will not be defeated by rumors.
Everything about him has been weakening in the past three years, except that his heart has never been stronger. He can even thank these three years for allowing him to see many things clearly.
He came to the Star Chamber of Commerce.
Three years ago, he was a distinguished guest that the president of the Star Chamber of Commerce would come out to greet, but now he can't even enter the Star Chamber of Commerce.
Now he can only line up at the outermost window. Under the scorching sun, it took half an hour before it was his turn.
"With these fifty fire jade, I can sprint to the fourth level tonight." After taking away the fire jade, Li Tianming hurried back. After all, no matter where he goes now, he is the focus of the whole city.
Those contemptuous, pitiful, and joking looks all come from ordinary people who once thought highly of themselves. The ups and downs of life are just such a reality.
Just as he was returning quickly, suddenly, a sharp and piercing bird song came from the sky above this bustling street!
call!
After the birds chirped, a blazing wave of fire swept from behind and hit Li Tianming's back. He was okay, but the stalls around him were blown away, and he was knocked upside down for a while.
boom!
This was the sound of a giant beast landing. Li Tianming looked back and saw a big purple bird landing in the middle of the street. This big bird had a wingspan of one foot, and its huge body could carry many people.
The most conspicuous thing about its eyes is that there are two pupils in each eye, with a total of four pupils in the two eyes. These are the legendary double pupils.
Li Tianming knew who it was as soon as he heard the bird chirping. It was Lihuo City's famous "flame bird" fifth-level companion beast, named "Purple Eyed Chongming Bird".
The Chongming Bird is a sacred object of Lihuo City. This purple-eyed Chongming Bird is a companion beast of the same level as the Golden Feather.
The owner of this companion beast is Li Tianming's half-brother, Li Zifeng, the son of Li Yanfeng's other equal wife.
"ah!"
"Mom, it hurts so much, wow!"
Li Tianming looked back and saw that when the huge purple-eyed Chongming bird landed, it didn't care about the crowds in the bustling street. The huge and burning body fell and directly knocked away a group of children who were playing.
Among them, three children hit the wall, and all of them suffered head injuries. One of the girls' calves was bent, and her tibia was probably broken.
For a moment, the pitiful cries of children were everywhere. They were all too young and had not experienced such pain, especially the little girl, who might have to have her legs broken in this life.
It's just that the miserable life of the weak is just an insignificant episode to the superior people, so when the group of people jumped off the purple-eyed heavy-sighted bird, they didn't even look at the crying children with broken legs.
When the children's parents saw the person, they suppressed their anger and had no choice but to take the children away quickly.
Only the girl with a broken leg, whose parents were not there, could only huddle in a corner and tremble. His consciousness was blurred by pain, and his whole body was twitching like a stray dog.
"Brother, I thought you were a bad guy. If you had to come here, you would have done a lot of harm to these children."
What appeared in front of Li Tianming was a young man in purple robes. He was very handsome, with fine features and delicate features. He looked like a dragon or a phoenix among men at first glance, and his pair of dark purple eyes were very beautiful.
He is Li Zifeng. When Li Tianming went to Yanhuang Academy three years ago, he was only thirteen years old and was still at the age of playing around. We didn't see him often in the past three years. I didn't expect that he had grown so big.
There were four or five people behind him, all of whom Li Tianming knew. They were all Li Zifeng's bad friends. They were all a group of brats who followed him and wanted to protect them.
‘Zhao Qing’, the son of the commander of the City Guards, ‘Gao Luan’, the son of the master of Lihuo Academy, ‘Chen Qiong’, the son of the civil servant of the Ministry of Commerce…their parents formed the upper echelons of Lihuo City.
"Isn't this your fault?" Among the crowd watching, Li Tianming looked calm. Only when he glanced at the child with a broken leg, a hint of fierceness flashed between his eyebrows.
"Brother Tianming, don't shirk your responsibility. You said that if you hadn't been wandering around here for me to see, would I have come down to see you, causing this child to be injured?" Li Zifeng said with a smile.
Behind him, the teenagers burst into laughter, their eyes full of joking.
"Zifeng, you are going to be the heir apparent. You can no longer do evil and disregard life like this. People with evil intentions cannot be the orthodox ruler of the city."
Li Tianming shook his head. In fact, he used to take good care of his younger brother. Even when Li Zifeng was beaten by his mother, Mrs. Mo, for being naughty when he was a child, Li Tianming begged for mercy.
It's only been three years since I left him alone, and he's already changed.
"Brother, you are really good at joking. You can even do things like drugging people and assaulting them, and yet you have the nerve to say that I have evil intentions." Li Zifeng burst into laughter, and his friends also put their arms around each other and laughed.
After not seeing each other for three years, the wings of these little brats have become stiff, and I really can’t remember the way they followed me around.
"Is there anything else?" Li Tianming really didn't want to talk to them at this time.
Some accounts can be settled after the final election of Yanhuang Academy. After all, this younger brother will be his biggest competitor at that time.
"No, just get out of the way." Li Zifeng was tired of laughing, so he waved his hand and said.
Li Tianming looked back and saw that behind him was the 'Emerald Tower', which was the most famous romantic place in Lihuo City. Inside was the famous Yingying Yanyan who moved the whole city.
He understood that this group of people did not come down because of him at all, they just wanted to enter the Jade Building.
"These guys really know how to enjoy themselves. I have never been in this Jade Building." Li Tianming curled his lips. At first, he was persistent in practicing, and Li Yanfeng and his mother had strict requirements, so he was more self-disciplined.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanfeng now doesn't even care about Li Zifeng's character. Why did he demand so much of himself in the first place?
The girls from the Feicui Building had already come out to greet them, and Li Zifeng and the others were surrounded by women dressed in coquettish clothes and with graceful figures. Li Zifeng looked even more elegant among the flowers.
"Wait a minute." Li Zifeng turned around and looked at Li Tianming again, and said condescendingly: "Looking at the fact that you were beaten by your father for protecting me in the past, I will call you brother for the last time and give you another piece of advice."
"If you fart, hurry up." Li Tianming said.
Facing such a younger brother, it is inevitable that the mood will be complicated, and there will be no hatred of life and death, but perhaps, he must be taught a lesson.
"Just listen. What I want to advise you is: get out of Lihuo City quickly. Wherever you go, you will be the laughing stock of our family and the entire Lihuo City. You are now a smelly person.
Do you know about wild dogs?”
Li Zifeng finished this sentence very seriously.
"So you are saying that our whole family is a family of wild dogs? Li Yanfeng is the biggest one?" Li Tianming smiled.
The child who admired and looked at me at the beginning has grown up and has his own ideas.
"Anyway, disappear, it will be good for everyone." Li Zifeng didn't want to say any more, he put his arm around a girl, turned around and walked into the Jade Building in a swagger.
The laughter of warblers and swallows lasts forever, and the wine pool, meat forest, and singing and dancing inside are all human enjoyments.
After they left, only Li Tianming remained here.
There were already many people watching here, and everyone looked at her with pity.
They indeed feel that Li Tianming is very pitiful now, but after pity, they have to add a sigh: There must be something hateful about this pitiful person!
hehe.
"Li Tianming's character seems to be better than that of Li Zifeng, but judging from what happened at Yanhuang Academy, a hypocrite like him is even more despicable than Li Zifeng." People came to the conclusion.
"He really should get out of Lihuo City. I feel ashamed when I see him."
Li Tianming turned a deaf ear. After all, the day of the final election of Yanhuang Academy was coming in a blink of an eye. Smart people must choose the right time and use their performance to talk to the world about what they really are.
He walked to the girl with a broken leg. The girl's father had already arrived.
This dark and thin man was about to shed tears, but from the beginning to the end, he never gave Li Zifeng a look of hatred because he was afraid.
Instead, Li Tianming came. He looked at Li Tianming fiercely and said, "It's all your fault, Li Tianming, get out of here!"
He looked fierce and looked like he wanted to tear Li Tianming alive, but he didn't seem to have the guts.
Li Tianming ignored him. He squatted down and gently touched the child's head. She was bleeding a lot and was close to unconsciousness.
"Girl, you know who is the one who harmed you, right?" Li Tianming said softly.
In the pain of blurred consciousness, she nodded. Adults are always blind, but children's eyes are bright.
For Li Tianming, this was enough. He took out ten fire jade, which was definitely a huge wealth for ordinary people. He put the fire jade in the hand of the girl's father and said: "Treat her."
OK, attach the legs."
The girl's father was stunned. This money really made the girl live again, instead of leading a miserable life.
"Do you think I will be grateful to you?" He put away the fire jade and said viciously to Li Tianming, but when he looked up, Li Tianming had disappeared.
"Where are we? Are you fleeing out of fear of crime?" the girl's father said with a stern expression.
The onlookers were also surprised, because they were stunned for a moment, and Li Tianming disappeared.
Only a very strong beast master can do it with body skills.
