"What do you mean—you sold yourself to the devil?"
Xu Qingran pushed Shen Tingyu away and pulled herself out of his fragmented memories.
I have a lot of questions in my mind, but I chose to ask this first.
Shen Tingyu let go of his hand.
She propped herself up and sat down next to him, explaining, "Do you know why the demons have been so restless recently? They are determined to confront the Empire's defense station head-on even if it means sacrificing most of their tribe?"
"That's because the 'king' of their tribe is about to run out of energy and die."
The king of the demons.
Xu Qingran thought, it should be the big guy on the asteroid that everyone said could track electrically operated objects within a certain range and attack them.
Shen Tingyu said that this was also the trend in his previous life.
In fact, the entire group of demons relies on the orders issued by their "king".
For example, whether to lie dormant, rest or attack, all of these are sent out by it through brain waves to all the devil groups. Therefore, if you want to annihilate a devil tribe, you must take down their most difficult king.
Such a huge creature, its survival has always depended on the energy source in its body that can help it survive.
It is not clear what specific substances this energy is transformed from, but what is certain is that for now it seems that only their original habitat can provide it with such a thing.
The 'king' of the devil tribe has not yet found a way to sustainably maintain its source of life after leaving its original habitat.
"So, it needs a new body that can survive in the newly explored areas."
When the energy is about to run out and the body is about to die, the king of the tribe wants to find a new consciousness "carrier". Because as long as its consciousness can still exist, it can continue to control and contact its people. And the people will continue to reproduce and live forever.
But given the powerful energy of its own consciousness, the requirements for a new body are also very high.
It must be strong enough and have a top-level spiritual pool among humans to exert its power and become an existence that suppresses the human race. So after many screenings, Shen Tingyu, the E-type, was finally chosen.
To seize a new carrier, one must first destroy the 'consciousness' that originally controlled that body.
Therefore, the devils who received the order from their boss would want to catch Shen Tingyu at all costs. All types of devils are closely connected with their boss. As long as one of them succeeds in taking down Shen Tingyu, it can start to have a preliminary influence on him through the devil that caught him.
These steps are not meant to get the body used to its control.
Instead, the king of the demon group should be allowed to gradually become familiar with the human body that he has never touched before. He should use his thoughts to stimulate or aggravate the other party's negative energy, and in this way, he should make the other party gradually compromise, accept the invasion of his consciousness and cooperate with him.
In this way, you begin to follow its path.
This is undoubtedly inviting a demon to live in your body. The person who invites the demon can temporarily gain powerful strength from the demon and take revenge on all the resentment. But when this situation of living together lasts longer and longer, the original self-consciousness and soul energy will be gradually infected and weakened.
In the end, the soul and consciousness completely disappear.
The body was also taken over by the poison and became someone else's property.
Xu Qingran probably understood.
"It means that the demons are targeting you in order to obtain a new carrier for their leader and ensure the continuation of their tribe. In your previous life, you hated the empire and everyone around you too much, so you accepted its power and gave your body to it."
"Although you succeeded in taking revenge on the empire, you also ended up being wiped out by it?" The air in the room was not smooth and was a bit stuffy.
People's mood becomes depressed due to these topics.
After a moment of silence, Shen Tingyu responded: "I knew what the ending would be, so I didn't intend to accept its power at first."
—Although, even if you refuse, you will still be pursued by the demons.
After all, in the entire Kaian Empire, they only covet his body.
But in his previous life, Shen Tingyu still tried his best to escape this fate.
He has been fighting against fate for most of his life, and he didn't expect that in the end, even his own body would no longer belong to him.
"Who would have thought that in the end it was my fellow humans who pushed me into hell."
It also pushed them into hell.
At that time, the devil's army had already broken into the space domain of the Kaian Empire.
The border troops were unable to withstand their powerful attacks and they began to invade all galaxies, even the Celestial System where the Queen Star was located was not spared.
Later, Shen Tingyu took advantage of the chaos to hide, but the news was betrayed to Mu Ziyue by those people in the Shen family who hated him.
After Mu Ziyue caught him, he found that the group of demons had a deep desire for him, so he made the most wrong decision.
"Oh my dear brother, you are such a remarkable man."
It was hard to tell from Mu Ziyue's tone whether it was praise or jealousy of such a grand scene.
He had the seriously injured him taken to his own aircraft and brought him to the top of the leader of the demon group who had already landed on the Queen's Star.
As expected, the leader king, who always actively launched tracking attacks on flying equipment, rarely attacked their flying machine. It was probably because the target it was looking for was inside, and it didn't want to damage it.
Mu Ziyue began to speculate: "Let me think, they have been so crazy recently and have forced the empire to this point. Could it be all because of you?"
"I called you a monster, but I didn't expect you to really be a monster."
This guess is only half right.
The leader of the demon clan urgently needed to transfer his consciousness to a suitable carrier before his original body could no longer hold on. Their attack was inevitable, but the ill-fated Shen Tingyu happened to become the reincarnation target chosen by him because of his outstanding talent and physique.
Unfortunately, everyone in the empire misunderstood.
I thought Shen Tingyu was the source of the disaster.
So, he personally pushed Shen Tingyu, who had tried his best to escape from the devil clan, into the body of the devil clan's leader.
They thought that if they handed him over, the demons would stop and retreat, and the empire would be safe.
Betrayal by family members, humiliation by enemies, the pain of having no one to help speak out over the years, and the oppression of being abandoned by the whole world.
It became the straw that broke Shen Tingyu's will.
The moment he was pushed out, he might still have a chance to struggle and escape.
But this time, he chose to give up.
Choose to compromise with the devil.
Even though, I know that this may be disastrous.
In this way, Shen Tingyu gained power from the leader of the devil clan.
It repaired all the damage to his body and even gave him a new eye. It was also the place where the consciousness of the leader of the devil clan first resided. Because of symbiosis, he also had the ability to control the entire group of devils.
So, they began to follow their goal, destroy the empire, and become the new masters of this region.
From then on, Shen Tingyu's heart was filled with resentment.
He killed everyone who came into his sight, and together with the demons, he turned Kaian into a living hell, and took revenge on the whole world.
At the same time, the consciousness of the devil clan leader is also constantly invading.
Every time he used the energy associated with it, it would erode a little more.
Until finally, it began to take away control of his body.
He wanted to wipe out his soul and consciousness and become the sole master of this body.
Shen Tingyu knew very well that some things required a price to be paid.
He also knew that with his tiny power alone, it would be impossible for him to defeat most of the demons that had already invaded.
But he was still very unwilling.
So at the last moment, I chose to die with it.
"Of course, I don't know whether the plan will succeed or not."
Perhaps because he had repeatedly revisited these memories, he seemed to be able to recount them without any emotion.
He smiled and said, "Because I lost consciousness before I could see the end."
There is only that result.
Either he and the entire demon clan will lead the world to destruction, or he will die unilaterally and the demon clan will begin to occupy the empire and then slowly spread to the entire Grayer.
Xu Qingran didn't speak immediately after hearing this.
I suddenly remembered that I had gone to Yuntian Tower with him to have dinner with the Shen family.
At that time, he was in the elevator with Shen Tingyu and asked him about his emotional stability regarding his childhood experiences.
Shen Tingyu’s answer to him at that time was—How do you know that I’m not crazy
It turns out that it had collapsed once in the previous life.
Xu Qingran nodded and said, "I see. I understand now."
Then he shook Shen Tingyu's hand and said, "That's good. I don't think there was anything wrong with your decision-making in that situation."
Whether it should be said or not, Shen Tingyu has been very patient.
Looking back at his past life, it would be better to say that the fate arranged for him in his original world was full of malice. Faced with this situation, he actually held on until the end before going crazy, which was really admirable.
Xu Qingran suddenly remembered something: "I remember that before I came out of the evil tower for the first time, I did a very boring questionnaire."
"The last question in the questionnaire is very long. I heard it was asked by an outstanding senior."
Shen Tingyu turned his head to look at the people around him without interrupting him.
Until the other party turned his head and looked at him, curved his eyes and continued: "Didn't I tell you? When encountering this situation, then-"
"Create the whole world."
Who cares about the rules of grandparents
Shen Tingyu stared at Xu Qingran.
Her deep amber eyes were bright, and her gentle smile soothed his uneasy mood which was disturbed by memories.
After Xu Qingran finished talking with Shen Tingyu, he probably figured out the reason behind the matter.
He said with a smile: "So my dear general, you knew that the empire could not defend against the invasion of the devil tribe, so you hid it from me and wanted to come here to deal with it yourself to see if you can change the outcome?"
Shen Tingyu acquiesced in the answer.
He actually didn't want to involve Xu Qingran, mainly for another reason.
Xu Qingran can be considered a special and powerful existence in the Kaian Empire.
The demon group was still obsessed with him in this life because their leader, Wang Xian, had sensed him first. He was worried that if Xu Qingran was exposed under their noses, they might also become interested in him and then want to trigger the things he experienced in his previous life on him.
"In fact, when I first came back, I was filled with resentment."
"I still want to destroy this place, just in a different way."
Shen Tingyu said frankly.
He has experienced one life and has a certain understanding of how this world works.
So he chose to join the military, which had the most respected position, and used his E-type ability as a tool to lay the foundation for himself, slowly consolidating his position. As long as he climbed to the top of the military, he could do more things openly.
Using some information he had, he secretly caused trouble for Mu Ziyue.
This prevents him from developing smoothly and winning the right of inheritance as he did in his previous life, and from finding a way out for himself, so that he can ensure that he can escape unscathed, and then induce the group of demons to destroy the Kaian Empire and the royal family.
Xu Qingran asked him: "Then why do you suddenly stop thinking about it now?"
The last line of his voice rose slightly, as if he had already guessed the answer to the question, but still wanted to hear it from him in person.
Shen Tingyu answered cooperatively: "Yes, because in this life, there is a little crazy guy named Xu Qingran in my world."
Xu Qingran was like a cat whose fur had been stroked.
He narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
He lowered his head and found that he was still holding the photo that Shen Tingyu showed him.
Shen Qianning above was smiling slightly, and the sun was shining brightly that day.
Xu Qingran pondered for a long time and said, "Perhaps, they should not hide the true match between her and Mu Mingrui."
"If she knew from the beginning that she was involved with the man on the throne, would she know about the other person's background and appearance in advance and know how to avoid him?"
"It's useless." Shen Tingyu said, "If the results of her matching with Mu Mingrui are made public, she will be forcibly sent to the palace."
"The Shen family just didn't want to see this happen, so they chose to use such extreme means."
Xu Qingran was puzzled: "Why?"
"I thought that only when the souls are 99% compatible or above will the empire force you into an arranged marriage?"
"That's the rule for common people."
Shen Tingyu said calmly.
The Kaian Empire adopted the ancient royal system.
In order to ensure the prosperity of the royal family, any female candidate who has a soul compatibility of more than 70% with the king will be arranged to have their background investigated. After confirming their innocent background and their status as an imperial resident, they will be sent to the palace to marry the king.
The one with the highest degree of fit sits firmly in the back seat.
Because of this, many people died at the hands of the Su family.
When Mu Mingrui was selecting concubines nationwide in the first round, the Shen family was worried that there would be a match, so they secretly asked someone to replace the data of unmarried girls in the family. For the powerful Su family at the time, the Shen family's initiative to give in and not interfere was what they were happy to see, so they did not force the Shen family to cooperate.
It was not until Shen Qianning grew up and had to do it properly that she discovered the amazing results.
The Shen family was unwilling from the beginning to the end, so they went to find Qi Shengxue, a disciple of Mr. Zheng who had already retired and a good friend of Shen Qianning, to explain the situation to her and get help.
Xu Qingran thought for a long time and said, "But I still think that the Shen family should at least let her know about this."
"What she chooses after she knows is her own problem."
Shen Tingyu shook his shoulders helplessly: "Unfortunately, I only got a chance to be reborn, but I don't have the ability to change the past."
Xu Qingran smiled and returned the photo to him.
He said heartlessly: "Maybe it's not bad now."
Shen Tingyu raised his eyes to look at him.
Seeing him say: "I'm sorry, I have no conscience."
"Do you know what the first thing I thought of after hearing what you said?"
Xu Qingran raised his head: "What I think is that it's a good thing that all the mistakes have happened."
"Because of all this, I can meet you."
If Shen Qianning had not fallen in love with Mu Mingrui, whom the Shen family wanted her to avoid, Shen Tingyu would not have been born.
Xu Qingran would never find a partner.
He felt that if the world was missing Shen Tingyu's soul, it would become much more boring.
At least for him, that's the case.
Shen Tingyu took the photo back without saying a word.
He lowered his eyes to hide the fleeting tenderness in them.
In his past life, he was not happy when he learned the truth about his life.
Even resentful.
He hated Mu Mingrui and Shen Qianning for giving birth to him.
Let him face the malice of this world alone, why should he bear the consequences of all this
Now, his thoughts coincide with Xu Qingran's.
It was also the only feeling of gratitude he had towards these two people.
After Xu Qingran finished talking to Shen Tingyu about the questions that puzzled him, he jumped off the table and turned to face the people sitting at the table.
With a half-smile on her face, she asked him, "Shen Tingyu, have you seen my soul memory?"
After the misunderstanding was resolved, a warm and sweet atmosphere was just beginning to emerge.
He was interrupted by Xu Qingran's sudden and direct question.
There was another long silence in the room.
After a long time, when Xu Qingran thought he might not get a reply from Shen Tingyu, he heard his voice: "I have seen it."
Unexpected calmness and candor.
Xu Qingran was not surprised either.
Then he asked him, "What did you see?"
There was another brief silence.
Shen Tingyu's gaze fell into his eyes, and he said seriously: "You."
"I saw you."
·
Her slender fingers hooked onto the blinds by the window.
A gap several fingers wide was revealed, allowing people in the house to get a glimpse of the scene outside.
Xu Qingran leaned against the window and looked out for a while.
A minute later, he let go of the curtain and restored it to its original covering state.
Today is the sixth day that he and Shen Tingyu have been staying at the base.
The base required people to be stationed there all year round, and there was some food and water stored in it, enough for the two of them and a big dog to survive for a while.
In the wasteland outside, the shock of the domain left by the lightning had long disappeared.
A lot of demons from other places gathered on the land, wandering around outside, as if they were prey in a jar.
If you fail to force your way in, just wait outside.
When their patience and endurance run out, and they have used up all their survival resources, there will definitely be a day when they need to leave. At that time, we will surround the two of them and use the swarm tactics to drain their energy.
Xu Qingran looked towards where the aircraft was parked.
There was some distance between them, and even with Shen Tingyu there, it would be difficult for just two people and the white dog to get through that group of demons.
Unless he uses his supernatural powers on a large scale like he did that day—
"Don't even think about it, host."
The system's voice sounded in time.
I said to him politely, "You only have 14 days left to live."
"Unless you want to use up all your powers and die right in front of your target."
Xu Qingran turned around.
Shen Tingyu was bending over and talking to his white dog.
Two pairs of blue eyes, one deep and one light, just stared at each other.
The picture looks silly and harmonious.
He smiled helplessly.
I'm a little reluctant.
Shen Tingyu suffered so much in his previous life, and he finally made his life a little better in this life.
If they had just confessed everything and decided to live together, but he had to face the shock again -
He will hate him, right
Xu Qingran didn't really want to be hated by Shen Tingyu.
Therefore, he had no intention of risking his life at such a critical moment.
"How is your recovery going?"
Xu Qingran asked as he walked towards them.
When he came over, Shen Tingyu hugged him and said, "It's a little better than yesterday."
yesterday.
Xu Qingran asked Shen Tingyu if he had seen his soul memory.
Faced with his affirmative answer and the content of his description, he immediately had a general idea in his mind.
He knew what 'you' Shen Tingyu was referring to.
The real him.
"When did you see him?" Xu Qingran asked.
Shen Tingyu said: "A long time ago, when... you and I were fighting in my backyard."
“That was the first time.”
This was really early, beyond Xu Qingran's expectations.
Calculating the time, it was even earlier than the first time he saw Shen Tingyu.
He was shocked.
How could there be such a bad man? He had obviously discovered his secret a long time ago but kept it to himself for so long, and would never ask a single question until he took the initiative to speak.
After Shen Tingyu finished speaking, he remained calm and silent.
Shen Tingyu pretended to be in deep thought, and then said to him: "I like you?"
Xu Qingran was left speechless.
Shen Tingyu then said to him: "I have really wanted you to know this for a long time."
"I don't care where you come from or whether you are the real eldest son of the Xu family. I only know that what I like is the core underneath this body, the soul that allows me to glimpse fragments of memory."
After hearing this heartfelt confession, Xu Qingran remained silent for a long time.
Slowly, a hint of regret emerged in his eyes.
Shen Tingyu was stunned: "...?"
Even a little nervous.
The next second, Xu Qingran sighed, "If this place wasn't so inconvenient right now, I would force you to be with me here."
It took Shen Tingyu three seconds to realize that he was speaking such lewd words.
After pursing his lips for a long time, he finally laughed out of anger.
Shen Tingyu asked him: "Why are you so persistent with me?"
In particular, Xu Qingran was very willing and happy to be the recipient.
Xu Qingran paused, then said calmly, "Because if I don't do it, I will die."
Shen Tingyu: “…”
"Don't say that."
Shen Tingyu reminded him seriously, his eyes more serious than ever before.
She even began to imagine the consequences of his words, her eyes slightly red: "Xu Qingran, if you die like this, you will push me back to hell."
Xu Qingran was silent.
Sure enough, he knew it would be like this.
It's his boyfriend's fault. He is now like a fragile glass.
His unintentional truth did not irritate Shen Tingyu.
On the contrary, it made him even more resistant.
Yes, in his understanding, if you do it with him, there will be a real risk of him breaking down.
Of course Xu Qingran couldn't allow this kind of wrong thinking to happen.
He reminded righteously: "Yes, but great harmony is necessary."
"If you can't give me 'happiness' anymore, I'm going to find someone who can fuck me."
Shen Tingyu: “…”
"I'll talk to you about this once we leave this damn place."
As the topic changed, Xu Qingran confessed to Shen Tingyu about time travel and the supernatural powers he had in his previous life and the end of his life.
The only thing that was hidden was the conditions for him to regain his superpowers.
If Shen Tingyu knew that he took this risk and gambled his life just to come and see him.
I couldn't imagine how devastated he would be.
There's still time anyway.
Not in a hurry.
Xu Qingran pulled himself back to his senses.
Leaning lazily in Shen Tingyu's arms, her eyes swept around.
I thought to myself, how to leave this damn place is a big problem now.
At the beginning, I was too absolute when talking to Xie Nanjun. I didn't expect that I would be stuck in this place with Shen Tingyu for so long. I also didn't expect that the impact of large-scale use of supernatural powers would be greater than he expected.
"Are you worried about us leaving?"
Shen Tingyu's voice came from above his head.
Xu Qingran didn't look up, but leaned against his chest to feel the resonance of his chest when he spoke: "Yeah, a little bit."
"I don't like this place very much because it doesn't get any sun."
He had had enough of those dark and gloomy days in his previous life.
Such an environment made him feel depressed as if he had returned to the end of the world, and he didn't even have the interest to seduce Shen Tingyu.
They are upstairs now.
Going out of the gate is the place where Xu Qingran came that day.
Shen Tingyu took a look and knew that there was something outside preventing them from leaving.
But he was not in a hurry and said to Xu Qingran: "Don't worry."
"According to the time, they should be here soon."
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingran opened his eyes which had just been closed.
ask them?"
Shen Tingyu lowered his head and looked at him, smiling meaningfully: "Yes, I contacted the 'rescuers' in advance."
Shen Tingyu is not stupid.
He knew that this mission was not easy and would face the risk of failure. There were too many factors to consider, including the threat from the Golden Wing Camp and Mu Ziyue, as well as the uncertainty of the Silver Dragon, so he made the worst plan of being trapped in this place.
Before leaving, he contacted someone in advance who could come to this place to help him in a critical moment.
Xu Qingran was still guessing who he should ask for help.
Shen Tingyu picked up an old electronic signal transmitter on the counter, which he had repaired after a long time.
Shen Tingyu now knew his special ability, so he held the things in front of him and asked directly: "Can you lend me some electricity?"
At the end, she smiled at him and said, "This way, I can save the time of making some power generation equipment."
Xu Qingran didn't refuse and let him put the thing on the counter and charge it.
The signal light comes on.
I don't know what frequency Shen Tingyu adjusted, but I saw him operate it for a while and said to him: "I agreed with them to meet in four days, but now it seems that it is indeed a bit too long."
"I told them to come over now."
Xu Qingran crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows as he watched him play dumb with her.
Xu Qingran didn't have to wait too long for the mystery to be revealed.
The reinforcements that Shen Tingyu mentioned appeared a few hours after the signal was sent.
As soon as they arrived, they dropped many missiles and bombs in a big way, causing a loud bang outside the base.
Those bombs were specially made with their own power storage. After they exploded on the ground, they would spread electric sparks on the ground, which could effectively restrict the group of demons who were afraid of electricity and dispersed a lot of them at once.
Shen Tingyu and Xu Qingran had already made preparations at the base.
Rescue arrived and immediately came out of the base.
Xu Qingran saw a group of people appearing on the wasteland.
They were wearing civilian clothes, without any golden wings or silver dragon camp symbols, but they were fully equipped with defensive gear and military weapons. Men and women, carrying heavy guns, were laughing and sweeping away the group of demons.
Looks like he's enjoying it.
Xu Qingran and Shen Tingyu looked at each other.
They took out their respective weapons, released mental detection on the demons in the entire area, and began to attack.
The two of them had not discussed it in advance, but they seemed to have a tacit understanding.
The large Type I mother bodies or high-level demons that were more difficult for the source crystal to deal with were handed over to Xu Qingran, who had supernatural powers in his mental strength. Shen Tingyu naturally took over the tasks of covering him and clearing other large groups.
The white dog ran in front, clearing the way for them.
Both sides have personnel with great combat experience.
Even without any prior rehearsal, the gathering of the two parties went smoothly.
The people who came to pick up Shen Tingyu seemed to have explored the site in advance, or they were already familiar with this place, and even knew the poor conditions of the site. The aircraft that came down from the starship stopped in a very tricky place, just within the perception range of the leader king.
One of the aircraft was parked near Xu Qingran's.
Xu Qingran brought the white dog and, together with Shen Tingyu, rushed out of the devil's worst-hit area under the cover of the helpers and came to the place where the aircraft was parked. But because Shen Tingyu was present, the devils reacted more excitedly than usual and chased after them relentlessly, not giving them much time to communicate.
Xu Qingran thought of the people in his car.
He pushed Shen Tingyu and stepped away from him and the others: "Lead the way for me. I have something important in my car that I need to take with me."
After saying that, he and the white dog turned around and headed towards the Golden Wing's aircraft.
Shen Tingyu glanced at the group of demons approaching them aggressively, and not wanting to cause trouble for the people who came to pick him up, he separated from Xu Qingran first.
The evacuation process was hasty.
Everyone was so busy that they were almost focused on the task at hand. There was no extra time for communication, and evacuation was the primary goal.
So, I was in a hurry and panic.
Xu Qingran drove the undestroyed aircraft and evacuated the asteroid with the rescue aircraft. Before leaving, those people dropped a special bomb with electricity, set the jump coordinates, opened a jump channel and left the place far away.
Xu Qingran followed at the end of the convoy.
The jump point disappeared after he crossed it. The group of demons didn't know where they were going and didn't catch up with them.
Not long into the flight, a huge and luxurious starship came into Xu Qingran's sight. It was dark gray, and if his eyesight wasn't good enough, he would probably have missed this starship without any signs, which could perfectly blend into the background of the sea of stars.
Xu Qingran seemed to be thinking about something.
As far as he knew, each empire or alliance had a limited number of large space transportation vehicles like starships. In addition, in order to prevent accidental injuries, the ships must be printed with the logo of their own empire or alliance.
He only knew of one type of starship like this one without any insignia.
That is the pirates' spaceship.
"… "
There are so many secrets of this bad man that it’s impossible to dig them all out in time.
The starship hatch opened wide.
Xu Qingran followed the aircraft that Shen Tingyu was in into the vehicle. After stopping the vehicle, he watched the hatch behind him slowly close.
Through the windshield, you can see Shen Tingyu has already gotten off his aircraft.
Just as he was about to approach him, two men came running over. One of them looked slightly older than Shen Tingyu, and the other was obviously still an underage boy.
They seemed to be Shen Tingyu's main acquaintances.
I grabbed him and looked at him for a long time, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was fine.
Xu Qingran observed the aircraft for a while before opening the cockpit door and preparing to get out.
As soon as he opened the door, he found more than a dozen pairs of eyes outside, staring at him curiously. He was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should take back the foot he had stepped forward.
Immediately, a young male voice was heard shouting in the crowd: "See! I said he is really Young Master Xu!"
"Losers, quickly hand over the snacks you bet on!!"
"Tsk, you have good eyesight."
"Wow! I guessed it right too!"
"You bunch of fake fans are nothing like me. Even from such a long distance, I can still recognize the heroic figure of our little lunatic at first sight!"
Xu Qingran: “… ?”
His 'bad reputation' has spread beyond the territory of the Kaian Empire, a result he had not expected.
Shen Tingyu crossed the crowd to pick him up.
Walking along with him were the two boys who had just come out to greet him.
Shen Tingyu introduced: "They are the second and sixth princes of Kaian."
Xu Qingran: “…???”
Unexpected answer.
·
In the spacious cabin, people were coming and going.
Xu Qingran, Shen Tingyu, and two other princes of the Kaian Empire stood beside his aircraft and talked about their topic.
The white dog, who was going to follow him out, stopped at the door when he saw several people blocking the car, and looked around curiously and vigilantly. His sensitive nose smelled something and suddenly became a little anxious.
“… What a surprise.”
Xu Qingran couldn't help but look at the two people he met for the first time.
According to legend, the second prince, Mu Zisheng, was expelled from the empire for killing the sixth prince.
There are also rumors that the Sixth Prince, Mu Zixuan, had been killed by the Second Prince.
These two people appeared at the same time and their relationship seemed particularly friendly.
The picture is simply too magical.
Mu Zisheng and Mu Zixuan don’t look very similar, but one can indeed find the shadow of Mu Mingrui in them.
Especially the sixth child, who not only looks like Mu Mingrui, but also inherited a pair of emerald green eyes like Su Ya.
"… what happened?"
Xu Qingran asked.
Strictly speaking, things are not too complicated.
Ultimately, it’s all caused by the fight for the throne.
The second prince, Mu Zisheng, also prefers the Golden Wing Camp.
Unlike Mu Ziyue, you can tell at a glance that he is a more cheerful and enthusiastic person. He has a kind face and is full of energy. He is a very down-to-earth prince. He has liked to go outside the palace since he was a child. He doesn't care about the identity or background of the people he meets, and treats everyone equally.
Therefore, even though his mother was just a concubine with no background, this prince had an unexpectedly high reputation among the people when he grew up.
Since Su Ya has become a stumbling block for Mu Ziyue, she and Mu Ziyue will definitely take action.
They tried several ways to discredit him.
However, Mu Zisheng's daily life was too open and aboveboard, so they couldn't find a chance to kill him. Finally, they decided to kill Mu Zixuan, who Mu Ziyue had always wanted to get rid of.
Mu Zixuan is also the child of Queen Su Ya.
However, it was an unexpected child. When he was born, Mu Ziyue was already an adult, and she devoted all her efforts to him. She had no time and energy to raise another child.
Especially since he was considered to be a Type I kid who was not good at fighting, which meant that he would not be able to get involved in military affairs, thus losing another advantage.
Therefore, Mu Zixuan was not taken seriously in the palace. Due to his unfamiliar relationship with Su Ya and Mu Ziyue, he accidentally interacted with the outgoing Mu Zisheng the most since he was a child. Even though they were half-siblings and had a rivalry, they still had a close relationship.
Unexpectedly, Mu Zixuan's image was well received among the people.
Obviously, they wanted a king who had the ability to govern the empire well, not necessarily one who was only good at fighting.
This became an obstacle for Mu Ziyue.
Especially since no one knows when Mu Mingrui will die, and Mu Zixuan is also the queen's son, he may become a huge threat to him in the future.
Mu Ziyue has an extremely cold personality.
He would be cruel enough to kill anyone who stood in his way, even if it was his own brother. But before killing Mu Zixuan, he thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone, and put the blame on Mu Zisheng, who had been in contact with Mu Zixuan for many years.
At that time, Mu Ziyue had already grown stronger.
It was easy to fabricate false evidence against Mu Zisheng, and finally a verdict was passed to expel Mu Zisheng from the palace and the empire forever. During this period, Mu Zisheng did not resist much, took the blame, and withdrew from the fight for the throne.
"Ting Yu is right." Mu Zisheng said.
"Most of the power in the palace is in Su Ya's hands. Since she allowed this to happen, it means that she chose to sacrifice her other son as a tool to support Mu Ziyue to the end, and she will support Mu Ziyue's actions."
"Even if I clear my grievances once, there will be thousands more waiting for me later."
So after being reminded by Shen Tingyu, Mu Zisheng chose to accept that verdict.
It just so happened that he was a person who liked to travel outside and see the beautiful scenery of the world.
Anyway, it was too early for Mu Ziyue to succeed the throne, so he took this opportunity to leave the empire and go out to explore. During this period, he also met many like-minded people who had been outside the territory of various countries for many years for various reasons. Finally, he formed an organization and ventured into the starry sea under the name of interstellar pirates.
Over the years, the most stolen things they had done were probably from the Kaian Empire, especially the resources under Mu Ziyue.
The main reason was that Shen Tingyu secretly provided them with information, so the operations were always smooth. Mu Ziyue suffered a lot at their hands, but they just couldn't catch them.
"As for Lao Liu." Mu Zisheng smiled and ruffled the hair of the young man next to him, "It was also thanks to Ting Yu's help that year that he created a fake death scene and secretly made a switch before sealing the coffin that he was successfully rescued."
"And when we encountered difficulties several times, Tingyu would also help us secretly."
"For this reason, we will definitely do our best to help him if he needs us!"
Xu Qingran subconsciously looked at Shen Tingyu.
No words for a moment.
He was just thinking, this man is obviously covered in wounds, why does he still remember to help others
-Even if he took the initiative out of consideration for the interests behind it, he still helped after all.
Shen Tingyu noticed his gaze.
She looked back and glanced at him slightly.
it is more than words.
"Your Highness, you are overpraising me. I am just trying to gain some benefits for myself."
Mu Zisheng hooked Shen Tingyu's shoulder and shouted, "When can you call me second brother affectionately? You have a place in the royal family, right? It's just not public."
Only then did I realize that these were the princes that Xu Qingran had heard about at the beginning.
Among the fourth and fifth princes who died young, the fifth prince was actually Shen Tingyu's position. Because of Su Ya, he could only be mentioned in three simple words without even a name.
Shen Tingyu declined: "I don't really want that position."
Mu Zisheng shook his head helplessly and looked at Xu Qingran again: "By the way, Master Xu, why are you with Ting Yu?"
"When I received his plan, he only told me that I might need to collect his body for him alone."
—Mu Zisheng was probably very familiar with him, and he found calling him Young Master Xu particularly easy.
Before Xu Qingran could reply, Shen Tingyu spoke first.
Looking straight at him, she said, "It would be reasonable to take my partner with me through life and death?"
Mu Zisheng and Mu Zixuan were shocked upon hearing this.
Obviously, Shen Tingyu's previous image was deeply rooted in their hearts.
Mu Zisheng is the captain of everyone on the starship.
After hearing what Shen Tingyu said, she realized that he wanted to be alone with Xu Qingran for a while, so she wisely left after exchanging a few words with them.
After watching them leave, Shen Tingyu turned around to look at the aircraft behind Xu Qingran.
I asked him, "So, what treasure do you have in this aircraft that you had to bring back even though I asked you to leave it behind?"
Xu Qingran hooked his finger: "Come with me."
"In a sense, it's also something I brought to you."
He took Shen Tingyu to the rear cabin of the aircraft.
The hatch was opened, revealing the dying man in the rear cabin.
The moment Shen Tingyu saw Mu Ziyue, he fell silent.
Xu Qingran glanced at Mu Ziyue, who was tortured beyond recognition, and said, "1Tari, I will do to him what he did to you and many others."
No extra moves.
They were all just used on him again according to his previous habits.
Xu Qingran's voice was cold.
"But the person he really hurt the most was you."
He said.
"So I think his ending should be written by you yourself."
