Gently touched his right wrist, Xu Zirong's expression changed unpredictably. There used to be a very obvious scar there. Even when he achieved Nascent Soul, he did not erase the scar. .
There, when he fell off the cliff and almost fell to his death, he struggled desperately to scratch on the rock tip, and at that time, he completely cut off the last tie between himself and the Xu family, and that scar was used for Come to remind him, don't forget all the shame the Xu family brought him!
"Father." Holding Xu Zirong's hand, Xu Ziyan slowly walked into the dining room.
The dining room is very spacious, with three tables in the center that can accommodate a dozen people.
Xu Xiao sat at the top, with an vacant chair on his right.
Xu Ziyan knew that the chair was specially prepared for him, and it could be seen from this chair that in the Xu family, his status was almost second only to Xu Xiao.
Of course, this chair gave Xu Ziyan no rights, but a pure status. He was able to sit on that chair not because of how much he contributed to the Xu family, but because of the Xu family's expectations for him in the future.
A self-cultivation family like the Xu family will inevitably send all resources to the talented disciples for the benefit of the family. This is not fair or unfair, because if Xu Ziyan controls such a family, he will do the same.
From the current Xu family's point of view, with Xu Ziyan's Lei Linggen talent, as long as the person is not too stupid, becoming a Jindan cultivator is almost certain. For the Xu family, adding a Jindan cultivator has an immeasurable effect on a middle-class family like them.
Any huge family needs enough backers and background to develop. Those accumulations of the Xu family in the past are the foundation, and Xu Ziyan, in the eyes of the Xu family, is their most secure backer in the future.
In this world, the blood relationship and the relationship between master and apprentice are the most reliable connections between people. As long as they are not crazy, the children of ordinary cultivating families who go out will always take care of their own families.
Now that Xu Ziyan is enjoying such treatment, he naturally has to undertake corresponding obligations. Although he did not enter this body voluntarily, he did not intend to escape.
No one in the entire Xu family felt sorry for him, and he didn't have much ill will towards the Xu family.
Although many Xu family members participated in the bullying of Xu Zirong in my memory, it was still led by Xu Ziyan in the final analysis. Others will not be bored and bully a child.
As for most of the servants, they were also trying to please the masters above. It could be said that Xu Ziyan was the only one who held the greatest malice towards Xu Zirong in the entire Xu family.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Ziyan had already figured out his position. In this life, many things have not happened yet. Since Xu Zirong has not suffered any torture, he can live a good life with himself in the Xu family. Walking the right way is much safer than a magic cultivator. At least in the future, he will really suck blood. If the time of the worm happens, it will not be inexplicably carrying such a big black pot on the back.
As for the original mother, Xu Ziyan could only apologize silently, but he had no plans to avenge her. After all, in the final analysis, the culprit of her tragedy was Xu Xiao, and even the original body did not take revenge on Xu Xiao, and it was even more impossible for him, who had no hatred with Xu Xiao, to take revenge.
Except for the chair beside Xu Xiao, other places were already filled with some children.
These children are all talented children of the branch family, and being able to eat in this room also proves some of their strengths from the side.
Their ages ranged from young to old. The oldest seemed to be in their twenties, while the youngest seemed to be only eight or nine years old. Most of those with deeper thoughts looked at Xu Zirong with a scrutiny, while the younger ones looked at Xu Zirong with scrutiny. It was pure curiosity looking at this extra child.
Xu Zirong seemed to hide behind Xu Ziyan shyly, sneaking a glance at those people from time to time, looking a little timid.
It is understandable that children are afraid of life.
Such a message was expressed in the eyes of many people, and many people even showed a friendly smile to Xu Ziyan after noticing that Xu Ziyan was holding Xu Zirong's hand.
Xu Zirong lowered his head slightly to hide the deep hatred in his eyes. He knew most of the people in this room, and they left countless wounds in his memory.
The reason why he didn't dare to raise his head was because he was afraid that Xu Xiao, who was the leader, would see the hatred in his eyes. He had the confidence to deceive these children with his disguise, but facing the cunning and cunning Xu Xiao, he had no confidence at all.
If he said who he hated the most in this Xu family, it would undoubtedly be Xu Ziyan, but if he said that he hated Xu Xiao the most.
At the beginning, if Xu Xiao hadn't brought him back to the Xu family, his life in that small town might have been very difficult, but he would never have been bullied by those two.
Father, this title should be warm and protective, but in his eyes, it can only correspond to a cold face forever.
Having lived in the Xu family for so many years, he has never even seen Xu Xiao smile at him.
Depressed, unbearable, and the ruthlessness deep in my heart began to stir again. His eyes were gradually dyed bright red, Xu Zirong knew that if this continued, Xu Xiao would definitely find him unusual. With the opponent's temperament, a danger like him will definitely be killed in advance. Although the current Xu Ziyan is very caring for him, once Xu Xiao decides, Xu Ziyan's sixth-layer Qi-refining cultivation can't do anything at all. effect.
not to mention…
He may not really object.
Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on Xu Zirong's mouth. Up to now, he still didn't know what the hell Xu Ziyan was doing, but if he was convinced by just one afternoon's contact, this Xu Ziyan didn't have the slightest hostility towards him now? That is absolutely impossible!
"Zirong? What's wrong?" Xu Ziyan's slightly concerned voice sounded in his ear.
Xu Zirong lowered his head and shook his head. He doesn't dare to look up now, those bloodshot eyes are definitely not something that an eight-year-old child can have.
"uncomfortable?"
"No... just... a lot of people." Xu Zirong said these words in as soft a tone as possible.
Xu Ziyan didn't have any doubts, he smiled and patted his head soothingly: "Don't worry, big brother is here, these people will be your friends in the future, don't worry."
Xu Zirong laughed secretly in his heart: friend? He Gorefiend never needed friends!
With his head lowered, Xu Zirong just grabbed Xu Ziyan's palm tightly. Xu Ziyan didn't take it seriously, he just thought that a child might be a little scared to see so many people suddenly.
Holding Xu Zirong's hand, he walked slowly to his chair, sat down and opened his mouth, saying to the two waiters standing next to him, "Go, add a chair."
As soon as these words came out, the dining room fell into extreme silence. The people who were still discussing something in a low voice just focused their attention on Xu Ziyan, and then all looked at Xu Xiao.
Xu Ziyan's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear. He did so deliberately.
In the Xu family, his young master still has the right to speak. He just wanted to express his attitude towards Xu Zirong through his performance here today, and at the same time, let everyone understand that he should not bully Xu Zirong without his eyesight.
The two waiters didn't move immediately after hearing the words, but looked at Xu Xiao at the same time.
Xu Xiao slowly wiped his hands with a clean white towel, then put it down, and said coldly, "Didn't you hear the young master's order?"
The two waiters were startled and hurried to move the chairs. Xu Ziyan's expression didn't change at all, he just looked at Xu Xiao and said, "Father, it's time for dinner."
Xu Xiao took a deep look at Xu Ziyan, and said in a deep voice, "Let's have dinner."
Then everyone picked up the chopsticks and started to eat.
At the beginning, the atmosphere was a little dignified, but as time passed, seeing that nothing happened, the children quickly forgot what had just happened and began to discuss some recent cultivation issues intensely.
Xu Ziyan never spoke to Xu Xiao again after he first said a word to Xu Xiao.
On the one hand, facing the cheap dad, he always has the feeling of facing those old foxes in the mall, and he is very Alexander in his heart. On the other hand, after all, he has taken up the shell of other people's sons, even if he has all the memories, even in the future. There are things that happen, but he is still worried about whether there will be any deeds.
There is a saying in this world of self-cultivation called robbing one's house. If the other party believes that he has robbed someone's son, it will be bad. With his small body on the sixth floor now, facing Xu Xiao's cultivation that is close to the golden core, it is proper to be trampled to death without negotiating...
Xu Ziyan felt guilty, but he didn't know that Xu Xiao was happy for his son's growth at the moment.
The news that Xu Ziyan expelled Ruo Qi from Liu Xun Yuan was placed on Xu Xiao's desk almost shortly after he made his decision. He usually wouldn't monitor his son at all times, but the appearance of Xu Zirong made him want to see his son's reaction.
It has to be said that Xu Ziyan's previous reactions disappointed him a bit. In his opinion, twelve years old is not too young, but Xu Ziyan is still impulsive and reckless. Even if Xu Ziyan didn't like Xu Zirong, he shouldn't show it so clearly on his face to be seen by others. In this way, if something happened to Xu Zirong in the future, wouldn't everyone know that it was Xu Ziyan's hand
Whether as a monk or an ordinary person, those who stand in the light will always suffer more than those who stand in the dark.
