"I shouldn't have left you here... It's my fault. Even if the sky is thundering, I won't even bother to punish me. I really..."
Qi Yan: "..."
So confused.
The oath of being struck by lightning and not having a good death was extremely effective in ancient times. To ordinary people, every time a person makes such a poisonous oath, there is some degree of credibility.
But Yu Xi actually said such words at this moment. What Qi Yan could think of was that he must have misunderstood something.
"Yu Xi, are you overthinking something?" Qi Yan pushed his chest and left his arms: "Did Qian Chenghe say something to you?" After saying this, Qi Yan looked at Qian Chenghe saw that he had a fierce look on his face and stared at him.
Qi Yan felt even more certain that Qian Chenghe must have said something about himself that made Yu Xi angry and made Yu Xi feel guilty and sad.
Otherwise, according to Yu Xi's temperament, he would rather take a few blows from Qian Chenghe than fight back with a sword, let alone fight him to the point of being inseparable.
Qian Chenghe's little thoughts were clearly seen by Qi Yan. Could it be possible that he said he was dead? Or what happened
Feeling that he was extremely childish, Qi Yan rolled his eyes inwardly and pointed at the debris on the ground towards Qian Chenghe.
"Look, all the money is gone because of your lies. And I have never seen you so stupid. You have to arrange the fight in your own house. You told me about this house a few days ago. Everything on it is your life’s work.”
"Talk too much." Qian Chenghe snorted coldly: "Even if my life's hard work is ruined by this moment that determines life and death, it's worth it."
"I really don't understand your state of mind." Qi Yan looked at the fragments of celadon on the ground: "Have you asked them what they think?"
Qian Chenghe stared at him as if he had seen a ghost: "Them?"
"Yes, have you asked about these broken porcelain, tables and chairs?" Qi Yan looked around: "Mahogany tables and chairs, colorful glazed lamps, priceless blue and white porcelain, two sets of paintings with excellent embroidery work..."
"You are sick!" Qian Chenghe finally couldn't bear it anymore and yelled, throwing the sword in his hand to the ground and waving his hand: "Come here, lock this man back!"
"Do you think I will let you do this again?" Yu Xi took a step forward and held Qi Yan behind him.
"Yu Xi, where do you think you are?" Qian Chenghe clapped his hands, and a dozen secret guards jumped down from the beam: "This is the Qian Mansion."
The skills of the secret guards are already better than ordinary people, not to mention, they are also transmitted with the idea of fighting to the death.
Yu Xi would never be able to defeat these secret guards, not to mention that he had Qi Yan with him, so there was no way he could break through.
His eyes darkened, and the watery depths were filled with confusion and entanglement, and the frown between his eyebrows was even more confused.
"Brother, do you and I have to be like this?"
Qian Chenghe snorted coldly and turned away from him: "It must be settled. Yu Xi, you have been favored by your master since you were a child. He taught you everything he has learned in his life, but what he taught me is... Some unfashionable stuff.”
He thought that his master had nurtured him, and even if he was biased, he should not be taboo.
But gradually, more and more disciples started to join, and he found that the only one the master treated like this was himself. No matter he is a junior brother, junior sister, or a new disciple, the master can always be kind and cheerful.
It turns out that it’s not the master who favors Yu Xi, but it’s just him who can’t do it.
The day before he was expelled from the master's door, he had a showdown with his master. Even now, he still remembers his master's disgusted look and charitable tone.
"If it weren't for your mother, I should have watched you freeze to death in the snow."
This sentence completely broke Qian Chenghe's tense nerves.
Just because of this? Years of nurturing, just because of this? If it weren't for his mother, who had no memory at all, he might have died in that avalanche. And would the so-called master really look at him coldly
Qian Chenghe decided to leave the school, but the master announced that he had behaved improperly and was expelled from the school.
I vaguely remember that it was a snowy day, and he was carrying clothes and dry biscuits, followed by the still young Yu Xi. Far away from the teacher's gate, he rushed him back, but little Yu Xi ran over and gave him three copper coins.
—I secretly hid this when I was buying wine for my master, but now I’m giving it all to my senior brother!
…
As if recalling something bad, Qian Chenghe's shadow on the ground seemed to be shrouded in loneliness. He did not continue talking, but Yu Xi and Qi Yan both shut up.
Qi Yan didn't know their affairs and had no right to speak, but Yu Xi had the most power.
The master's injustice was seen by Yu Xi, but he really liked this senior brother. Even now, he still couldn't make a complete break with him.
To this day, perhaps what should be blamed most is the inner demon that the master cannot get rid of.
The master once liked a woman, but the woman fell in love with another scumbag who couldn't give her any happiness, and she was willing to become a concubine. Later, the woman became pregnant, but was chased by the scumbag's real wife to a village, where she gave birth to a child...
That child is Qian Chenghe.
The master happened to practice medicine in that village and delivered Qian Chenghe. He originally wanted to live with the woman and the child, but unexpectedly an avalanche occurred and the village was unable to escape. The woman entrusted Qian Chenghe to the master before she died. The child was named Qian Chenghe.
'Qian' is the surname of the man whom the woman has loved all her life.
Even though he was killed by his wife, and even though he didn't even want to find her or the child, she still missed him before she died, and even named the baby "Qian Chenghe".
- Harmony, everything will come naturally, and everything will be harmonious.
Before she died, she still thought about using her child to form a family with that man, a bamboo house in the countryside, and have fun together.
From then on, the master fell into the inner demon and was unable to extricate himself.
Yu Xi asked his master countless times, why can't he be nicer to his senior brother? But the master just replied that the man was not worthy.
In fact, senior brother and master are the most alike. The master couldn't get rid of his inner demons and blamed the innocent Qian Chenghe for his resentment.
Qian Chenghe also transferred this obsession of being abandoned to Yu Xi.
There is really no way to judge who is right and who is wrong.
The surrounding secret guards made Qi Yan feel a little trembling. As long as Qian Chenghe waved his hand down in anger, these secret guards could rush up and tear them both apart. Even if Qian Chenghe was relieved and regretted afterwards, it would be too late.
Suddenly, a cold hand was held, and Qi Yan raised his head and met Yu Xi's eyes with a slight smile, as if to comfort him and say, it's okay.
"Senior brother."
Yu Xi's hand suddenly let go, Qi Yan looked at his back and slowly walked towards Qian Chenghe.
"Yu Xi has never changed towards senior brother from beginning to end."
