When Qin Lingyu was ten years old and Qin Shanshan was two years old, their parents gave them two natal locks. One belonged to Qin Lingyu and was hung around Qin Shanshan's neck. The other belonged to Qin Shanshan and was put into Qin Lingyu's body. in the storage ring.
Then, Qin Lingyu entered the Xuyang Sect in the same year and became He Zhang's disciple.
Although Qin Lingyu's parents are just two ordinary mortals, I heard that the Qin family's ancestors were once brilliant in the world of cultivation, but then gradually declined for some unknown reason. The qualifications of the descendants they gave birth to were worse than the last, and finally Qin Lingyu Great-great-grandpa’s generation were only mortals. Therefore, the birth of the two brothers Qin Lingyu and Qin Shanshan is undoubtedly a hope for the Qin family to revitalize the family, especially Qin Lingyu, whose cultivation talent even surpasses the most powerful one among his ancestors.
For this reason, Qin Lingyu's parents gave the best things passed down from their ancestors to the two siblings, including the natal lock.
The natal lock is actually a cultivation weapon that is not considered advanced. A refiner with only a foundation-building stage can make a high-quality natal lock. But the function of this kind of thing is relatively useless. It can neither attack nor defend. It can only be used to understand the life and death of the person who recognizes its owner. Once the person who recognizes the owner of the natal lock passes away, the natal lock will also be broken. Come on, completely lose its luster.
To be honest, most weapon refiners would not go to great lengths to specifically refine the natal lock, because the function of this kind of thing is so inconspicuous that even if it is successfully refined, not many of them can be sold. Therefore, except for some weapon refiners who have just entered the foundation building stage who will use it to practice their skills, it is rare to see natal locks for sale on the market.
Qin Lingyu and Qin Shanshan's parents originally intended for the two siblings to support and help each other in the world of cultivation. You must know that the world of cultivation is full of dangers, and more help equals more power.
However, neither Qin Shanshan nor Qin Lingyu could appreciate their parents' love for their children. Qin Shanshan dislikes that her parents are a pair of mortals who can only give her and her brother a limited number of things. They can only give useless and useless things like natal locks, unlike Jun Xiaomo's parents, who gave only a few things. None of them were ordinary, making her feel filled with envy and jealousy.
Especially later, when Qin Shanshan discovered Jun Xiaomo's feelings for Qin Lingyu and extorted better things from Jun Xiaomo again and again, she began to look down upon the things her parents gave her even more.
look! The things Jun Xiaomo didn't want were better than what her two mortal parents gave her. What was the use of having such embarrassing parents? ! I just regret that she won't be reincarnated, unlike Jun Xiaomo, who can have everything if she is reincarnated into a good fetus.
This mentality accompanied Qin Shanshan until she grew up, and finally pushed her to a dead end.
Compared with Qin Shanshan, Qin Lingyu is much smarter. He also looks down upon the things his parents gave him, but he is not like Qin Shanshan, who is blindly envious and jealous. He knows his talent, and he also knows that as long as he works hard enough, he will be able to achieve what he wants to achieve. realm.
In fact, Qin Lingyu didn't have much affection for his sister Qin Shanshan. When he was ten years old, he left his family and friends and entered the Xuyang Sect to learn the art of cultivation. By the time Qin Shanshan entered the Xuyang Sect, he was already eighteen years old and had long passed the age of needing family affection. Qin Shanshan, on the other hand, always acted arrogantly because her brother was the first disciple of the sect leader, and did not know how to restrain herself, which caused a lot of trouble for Qin Lingyu.
If it weren't for blood ties that couldn't be changed, Qin Lingyu wouldn't want to have a relative like Qin Shanshan.
Qin Shanshan's quick life lock had long been forgotten by Qin Lingyu in a corner of the storage ring. For Qin Lingyu, the life and death of Qin Shanshan's sister was really not something that needed to be taken to heart.
However, after knowing something, Qin Lingyu became concerned about Qin Shanshan's life and safety.
It turns out that the Qin family's ancestors once had a very smart and powerful weapon refiner, and these two natal locks were one of his proud works.
Although these two pieces of natal locks are ordinary, they actually have something different inside - they are originally the same magic weapon, which was cut into two halves, one half is yin and the other half is yang. When they are put back together, they can Become a key to a secret realm.
The opening of the secret realm means infinite wealth and treasures. It is an existence that countless people in the world of cultivation are eager to pursue. How can Qin Lingyu, an ambitious person, not be tempted
Now that these two natal locks have recognized their owners, it is not that easy to reunite them. The conditions can even be said to be very harsh. Until Qin Lingyu found a suitable way to put them back together, he decided to maintain the status quo for the time being.
In this way, Qin Shanshan cannot die easily. If Qin Shanshan dies, the natal lock that has recognized Qin Shanshan as the master will be broken. At that time, all Qin Lingyu's plans will be reduced to a blank piece of paper.
Therefore, before Qin Shanshan left the sect to travel this time, Qin Lingyu asked the disciples of the Xuyang Sect to take good care of his sister. If Qin Shanshan had any trouble, he would definitely take action on these people.
These disciples of Xuyang Sect all thought that Qin Lingyu was a manifestation of the deep love between brother and sister, but they never thought that Qin Lingyu had a deeper meaning in it.
Qin Lingyu originally wanted to use his prestige and status to intimidate these disciples, but Qin Shanshan would always be foolproof, not to mention that he had left so many life-saving magic weapons for Qin Shanshan.
Unexpectedly, he just accidentally took out Qin Shanshan's natal lock and took a look at it today, and found that Qin Shanshan's natal lock was actually a lot darker, and there were thin, less obvious cracks on it!
What exactly is going on? ! The frightened Qin Lingyu didn't waste any more time. After giving a hurried greeting to the master of Xuanji Sect, he rushed to where Qin Shanshan and the others were at overnight. Two days later, he arrived in this small town.
He failed to contact Qin Shanshan using the transmission notes, so he could only contact one of the Xuyang Sect disciples who followed Qin Shanshan and the others.
When he learned that this group of people had gone to Wenrou Township to have fun, Qin Lingyu was really shocked and angry - could it be that they just left Qin Shanshan alone in the inn? ! If Qin Shanshan really has some shortcomings, how can he get the key to the secret realm in the natal lock? !
So, he rushed directly into the Qinglou, lifted up the Xuyang Sect disciple who was addicted to pleasure, and angrily asked the disciple, "Where is Qin Shanshan?!"
"Qin... Qin Shanshan... she's in the guest... inn..." This disciple of the Xuyang Sect was just about to faint from being frightened by Qin Lingyu. Qin Lingyu looked really scary now.
"You just threw her in the inn like this, huh?!!" Qin Lingyu threw the disciple of the Xuyang Sect out. This throw was filled with spiritual energy, and it instantly knocked the disciple who hit the pillar. The Xuyang Sect disciple felt that his internal organs were about to be squeezed out.
In fact, his bones were also broken, and his arms were hanging on his shoulders at a twisted angle, and he did not dare to have any dissatisfaction or resistance. With Qin Lingyu's current strength, he could easily crush him to death. .
"Call all the disciples here and come back to the inn with me!" Qin Lingyu said coldly, turned and left.
The disciple of the Xuyang Sect did not dare to delay. After stuffing himself with a healing pill, he stood up from the ground, quickly put on his clothes, and threw a few to the woman who fainted from fright. After picking up a low-grade spiritual stone, he took out the telegraph talisman, sent a message to all the disciples in the team, and then ran out of the room in a state of embarrassment.
The disciples of the Xuyang Sect who received the text message he sent were similar to him. They all ran out in a hurry and embarrassed and ran back to the inn. At this time, Qin Lingyu was already waiting for them in the lobby of the inn.
One after another, almost all the Xuyang Sect disciples who were traveling arrived, except for one person, Qin Shanshan.
The air pressure on Qin Lingyu's body was already very low. He slowly glanced at the group of people. The pressure erupting from his body made these people tremble with fear.
"Where is Shanshan?" Qin Lingyu's eyes finally rested on the leader of the Xuyang Sect disciple, "Didn't you say she is at the inn, where is she?"
Qin Lingyu asked this question very calmly, but anyone present could feel the raging anger underneath his calmness.
The disciple in question shuddered and stammered: "I... I have already sent her a text message, and... maybe she is resting upstairs in the inn... "
"Ha, rest?" Qin Lingyu sneered, "Ah Che, go up and see if Qin Shanshan is resting upstairs."
The Xuyang Sect disciple who was ordered by Qin Lingyu nodded quickly and ran forward hurriedly, as if there was a wild beast chasing him behind him.
After a while, he ran back, faced Qin Lingyu, and said tremblingly: "Qin... Senior Brother Qin... It seems that Junior Sister Shanshan... she is missing... "
"Bang!" The table under Qin Lingyu's palm instantly turned into powder, and all the Xuyang Sect disciples trembled violently.
"Okay, very good." Qin Lingyu stood up and walked toward them step by step, "So, this is how you protect my sister, huh? You went to Rouwen Township to seek excitement and left her alone. The inn, you don’t even know anyone is missing, that’s how you protect it, huh?!!!”
Facing the furious Qin Lingyu, all the Xuyang Sect disciples shrank back and remained silent.
In fact, they were also feeling miserable. Didn't Qin Shanshan encounter any life-threatening danger when she ran out in that ghost place by herself before? Apart from going crazy for a while in the middle, there were no problems.
Why did he disappear when he arrived at a safe place this time
They sincerely hope that Qin Shanshan just went out to play in the middle of the night and will come back soon. Otherwise, they will be burned to death by Qin Lingyu's tangible anger.
But, would anyone stay up late at night to play? It doesn't seem possible when you think about it.
These disciples of Xuyang Sect felt a deep despair in their hearts.
"Qin Shanshan", who was being talked about by a large group of Xuyang Sect disciples, was still drunk and crazy on the mountaintop pavilion not far from the town.
The bottle of century-old wine provided by Ye Xiuwen was so strong that Jun Xiaomo only drank five glasses before he became drunk. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Jun Xiaomo has never drunk strong alcohol several times in his life. If you are not talented and don't drink often, you won't be able to drink enough. People like Ye Xiuwen will drink a fifth of a jar of wine. I can still stay awake.
As a result, Ye Xiuwen accepted the tossing of Jun Xiaomo's "little lunatic" with great sobriety - she pulled Ye Xiuwen at one moment and asked Ye Xiuwen to accompany her in loudly singing nursery rhymes with no tune. She fluttered around the stars in the sky again, saying she wanted to catch fireflies, and finally slipped under the stone table and asked Ye Xiuwen to come to her and play hide-and-seek with her. She was unhappy when she found her too quickly. She thought Ye Xiuwen was "too stupid" for being too slow...
Ye Xiuwen was really exhausted physically and mentally from her torture. He really wanted to just leave her here and go back to the inn to sleep. However, when he met those shining eyes, the foot he had just raised inexplicably put it down again.
Forget it, it’s just one night, just treat it as accompanying an older child, Ye Xiuwen thought helplessly, sat back, poured a glass of wine, sipped it, and painstakingly looked after Jun Xiaomo. Older children".
Jun Xiaomo got tired of playing on the side and lay down on the table. His misty eyes looked at the wine glass in Ye Xiuwen's hand with confusion. He pouted and asked, "Brother, does the thing in your hand taste good?"
Ye Xiuwen paused while holding the wine glass, glanced helplessly at Jun Xiaomo, who was drunk and confused, and said, "It doesn't taste good."
"If it doesn't taste good, why do you want to drink it?" Jun Xiaomo mumbled and asked, tilting his head like a curious child.
"Because Big Brother is unhappy, he has to drink it to feel happy."
"Is this like this?" Jun Xiaomo tilted his head, curled his eyes, curled the corners of his lips, and suddenly jumped up and said, "Then I want to drink too!"
"What?! No!" Ye Xiuwen immediately objected. It's a pity that a drunk and crazy person will not reason with him. Jun Xiaomo jumped up and rushed towards Ye Xiuwen, trying to grab the cup in his hand, but Ye Xiuwen hurriedly retracted his hand.
Jun Xiaomo jumped directly on Ye Xiuwen, biting, scratching and scratching him, with the purpose of grabbing the small porcelain cup in his hand. Ye Xiuwen wanted to throw this little lunatic away, but he was afraid that his movements would be too big. hurt the other person.
Therefore, in this unequal situation, the cup in Ye Xiuwen's hand was directly snatched away by Jun Xiaomo. At this time, there was only half a glass of wine left in the cup, and the rest was contributed to the two of them. clothing.
"Gulu", the dazed Jun Xiaomo drank all the remaining wine in the cup in one breath, and immediately choked out from the spicy taste.
"Cough cough cough... so... it tastes terrible..." The young version of Jun Xiaomo, who was so hot that he burst into tears, hurriedly threw the cup out, then coughed and cried, choking until he was out of breath.
Ye Xiuwen didn't expect this outcome at all. After he couldn't laugh or cry, he thought about it and patted the "older child" on the back, trying to relieve her from the discomfort of choking.
Jun Xiaomo took the opportunity to grab his clothes and wiped his tears on his body.
"You!" Ye Xiuwen was not used to being so close to others, and he had a slight mysophobia, but now Jun Xiaomo wiped his tears all over his body.
Jun Xiaomo raised his head, looked at Ye Xiuwen with tears in his eyes, and said accusingly: "Those things taste so bad..."
Ye Xiuwen rubbed his forehead and said, "Okay, it tastes terrible. Then we won't drink it from now on, okay?"
"Okay..." After Jun Xiaomo finished speaking, he buried his face in Ye Xiuwen's arms, making Ye Xiuwen freeze up and reflexively push Jun Xiaomo out! After all, in his eyes, Jun Xiaomo at this time was a complete stranger whom he had only known for a short time!
Unfortunately, drunk Jun Xiaomo was so strong that Ye Xiuwen couldn't push her out without hurting her, and—
Ye Xiuwen suddenly noticed that the person buried in his arms seemed to be crying, the kind of silent cry.
Inexplicably, Ye Xiuwen noticed that this man was just as worried as him, and he was also hiding the pain deep in his heart.
During the hesitation and entanglement, Ye Xiuwen heard a slight choking in his arms. If the environment was not quiet enough, he might not be able to hear it clearly.
"... I miss you so much... Will you never come back?... "
For a moment, Ye Xiuwen felt the same sadness in his heart.
