Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Qiu Purue was not surprised by his words. She looked at his expression, thought for a while, and then took off her clothes as well, leaving only a thin short-sleeved shirt and shorts. In the past, she would have taken off her clothes like Yin Xihui, leaving only shorts, but after Yin Xihui's repeated emphasis during this period of time, she had learned to keep an extra piece of clothing on.

The two arrived at the hall - the rooms here could be decorated, but since Qiu Puryue had no money and no energy, the hall had always been empty and was paved with wooden boards, so there was basically nothing to worry about.

Qiu Puryue looked at the person opposite her, took a step back, got ready, and stared at him closely.

Yin Xihui's expression was cold, just like hers, but the difference was that he rushed over directly.

At first, Qiu Puyue thought that he was in a bad mood, so she let him get better after a few hits. But after a hug and a throw, Qiu Puyue fell to the ground, and he felt as if his internal organs were shaking. When he looked at Yin Xihui again, his eyes had a murderous look.

……

"...You mean, you two were sparring with each other, and one of you accidentally broke two of the other's ribs, and the other one dislocated the other's arm, so that neither of you could press the other properly, is that what you mean?"

Facing Qin Xiao's calm eyes, Qiu Puyue didn't dare to look at him or even speak out of guilt.

"Yes." Yin Xihui replied calmly.

Mo Hanyu and Qiu Puyue looked at him instantly, as if they were looking at a warrior walking to the execution ground.

Qin Xiao was so angry that he laughed.

Qiu Purue lowered her head even more as she listened to Qin Xiao's laughter.

Mo Hanyu had already helped her press her arm. Qin Xiao looked at Yin Xihui's calm face, closed his eyes, and thought for a while: "You want to find someone to vent? She really can't do it, I'll do it."

Hearing this, Qiu Puryue was horrified and hesitated to speak.

Mo Hanyu turned his head suddenly and wanted to say something.

"……it is good."

Yin Xihui agreed.

Qiu Purue stared at him with horror again: Are you really so angry that you have gone crazy?

Mo Hanyu also felt a little emotional.

It seems that this trip really made him angry.

Qin Xiao gave Mo Hanyu a look, and Mo Hanyu immediately understood. He looked at Qiu Puyue, a little hesitant, and then advised: "He is still injured, don't be too harsh."

After saying that, he pulled Qiu Puyue away.

Qiu Puryue looked back worriedly, and saw Yin Xihui sitting on the ground with his head down, his expression unrecognizable.

Mo Hanyu brought her into the house and closed the door.

"…There's no need to do this, right?" Qiu Puryue asked worriedly.

"Xiao knows his limits." Mo Hanyu patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Do you feel okay?"

I think it's great, why don't you go and see him.

Qiu Puyue wanted to say this, but she stopped herself and said hesitantly, "He has broken ribs and hasn't had them bandaged yet..."

"Didn't you hit him? Why do you feel so bad?" Mo Hanyu crossed his arms, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

Qiu Puryue lowered her head in shame, and when she thought of going outside, she scratched her ears and cheeks anxiously.

Qin Xiao looked at Yin Xihui who was sitting on the ground with a calm look: "Are you going to sit there forever?"

Yin Xihui suddenly stood up and punched Qin Xiaoyang.

Qin Xiao dodged sideways and kicked him in the thigh, kicking him several meters away.

Yin Xihui fell heavily to the ground, but in less than a second, he got up again and rushed towards Qin Xiao as if he didn't feel any pain.

Qin Xiao did not dodge again. He blocked a few punches and did not fight back. Instead, he blocked all his attacks.

Yin Xihui noticed it, gritted his teeth, and quickly hit Qin Xiao in the jaw with a hook punch, knocking him down.

Seeing Qin Xiao fall, Yin Xihui stopped immediately and opened his mouth: "I'm sorry——"

"Haven't you eaten yet?" Qin Xiao stood up and stared at him with a fake smile, "Do I need to wait for you to eat a meal to replenish it?"

Yin Xihui immediately understood what he meant, gritted his teeth, and rushed forward.

It was unknown how long they fought to vent their anger, until Yin Xihui was exhausted and stopped. Qin Xiao then put down his arm that had been blocking and looked down at him.

Yin Xihui panted heavily and knelt weakly on the ground, hunched over, with his hands on his knees. He was sweating profusely. Somehow, drops of water kept falling from the corners of his eyes. He couldn't tell whether they were tears or sweat.

“Ha… sorry.” Yin Xihui lowered his head, his knuckles turning white from grabbing his knees, and wiped his eyes, “I actually have to trouble you for such a small matter…”

"It's not a small matter." Qin Xiao rolled up his sleeves and found that many parts of his arms had begun to turn purple. "I'll fix it for you later."

As he said that, he walked in and called Mo Hanyu out, asking him to buy some medicine.

Yin Xihui was about to refuse: "No need..."

Mo Hanyu glanced at Yin Xihui and ignored him. He looked at Qin Xiao and knew that he had not changed his mind, so he found Yu Jin and asked him to take him out.

Yin Xihui gritted his teeth: "Really, there's no need, it will be done in a moment——"

"You don't have the attribute of recovery, why are you pretending?" Qin Xiao interrupted him, looked at Qiu Puyue who was hiding behind the door frame with only half of her face showing with some annoyance, and waved his hand.

Kids are such a hassle.

Qin Xiao thought about it and looked at Taotie who had been watching the show.

Taotie pretended not to see it, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

Qiu Purue trotted over and helped Yin Xihui up.

"Ah... I'm sorry." Qiu Puryue smiled awkwardly and scratched her forehead, her eyes rolling around, "You were a bit harsh."

“…No.” Yin Xihui shook his head and lowered his eyes. “Sorry.”

Qiu Purue knew why he did that, so she shook her head as well and chuckled, but immediately restrained her gaze when she met Qin Xiao's.

Qin Xiao glanced at them unhappily, found the medical box in the room, took out the bandage splint, and waved to Yin Xihui.

After helping Yin Xihui to fix it, Mo Hanyu came back.

After handing the pills in the porcelain bottle to Qin Xiao, Mo Hanyu stared at Yin Xihui.

Qin Xiao looked at the amount, grabbed Yin Xihui's chin and forced him to open his mouth, then flipped his hand and poured all the pills in the bottle into his mouth.

Yin Xihui couldn't swallow it in one breath and almost choked to death.

"In this way, the injury should heal in two or three days." Qin Xiao threw the porcelain bottle and looked at Qiu Puryue again.

Qiu Puyue quickly said that she had recovered.

Qin Xiao looked at Yin Xihui and said, "Tell me, what happened?"

Yin Xihui coughed twice and felt the severe pain from his two broken ribs, so he couldn't help but move more gently.

Mo Hanyu looked at him with complicated eyes.

At that time, they had just sat down in the teahouse with Mo Hanshang and the others. Before they had even warmed up their seats, they received the hesitant message from Qiu Puyue. They had no choice but to find an excuse to leave.

On the way, they met Qiongqi again. After hearing from Taotie about Qiu Puyue's residence, he brought them here.

Qiongqi was lying lazily on the side, eating the snacks he bought on the road bit by bit - Qin's father had given him a few bags of gold coins before, and told him that he could spend them however he wanted as long as he didn't cause any trouble.

So Qiongqi was bored these days and went to Jiangluoyun for a walk.

Yin Xihui seemed to be thinking, or as if he had fallen asleep, with his head down and not speaking.

Qin Xiao saw this and knew that he didn't want to talk. He didn't force him, and just when he was about to get up and leave, he heard Yin Xihui speak softly.

"It's not a big deal." Yin Xihui closed his eyes and pulled the corner of his mouth. "I just heard that my mother doesn't want me to learn Qi cultivation. She said that if I insist, she will find a way to prevent me from taking the entrance exam in two years."

Yin Xihui's eyes were gloomy, emitting a cold light: "As long as they are members of the Thunder Royal Family and choose to practice Qi, they will be randomly arranged to go to several of the top Qi cultivation academies in Thunder... But my mother said that if I want to become a Qi cultivator, she will apply to these academies to prohibit me from entering."

"Why?" Mo Hanyu was puzzled. "What can she gain from this?"

"Your mother?" Qin Xiao frowned and looked at him, "Lei Ting's current queen?"

"Ah? Why?" Qiu Purue was also a little dumbfounded. "You are not an evil cultivator or a corpse binder, why would she stop you like this?"

"...I don't know." Yin Xihui's face was cold and gloomy, "Maybe my father said something to her."

"It shouldn't be like that." Qin Xiao shook his head. "As the monarch of a country, he was able to allow your brother and sister to be born openly. He shouldn't beat around the bush on this matter."

"...Actually, you already have the answer in your mind, right?" Mo Hanyu looked at him and asked, "Otherwise you wouldn't be so out of control."

Yin Xi's eyes darkened, his face looked gloomier than ever before, and his murderous intent surged: "...I have a guess."

Yin Xihui gritted his teeth as he spoke, revealing a surprising amount of hatred: "She... wanted to please that man, my father... because he liked Yin Fangyun and the others, so I had to give way to them and not become a stumbling block on their road, so... she compromised."

The nails dug deep into the palm, leaving a trace of blood.

"This time too... She clearly knew that Yin Fangyun disliked me, and if she let me out alone, it would definitely be dangerous, but she still agreed." As Yin Xihui spoke, a murderous aura emanated from his body, which surprised Qiu Puyue.

Qiu Puryue had a complicated expression. She looked at Yin Xihui, who looked extremely ugly, and didn't know what to say.

Mo Hanyu was the same, with a complicated look in his eyes, and didn't say anything.

"Who is Yin Fangyun?" Only Qin Xiao remained calm and even had the heart to ask such a question.

"...It's the... Imperial sister who came with me this time." Yin Xihui paused when he heard Qin Xiao's question, but then he remembered the arrogant expression on Yin Fangyun's face not long ago, and his breath sank a few degrees.

"...Since I disappointed her so much, why did she give birth to me?" Yin Xihui gritted his teeth, his voice trembling uncontrollably, even with a hint of tears in it.

Mo Hanyu pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to persuade.

Qiu Puryue did have some insights, but she didn't know how to agree with them.

"I wasn't disappointed when I gave birth to you, I was disappointed after giving birth to you." Qin Xiao still acted as if he felt nothing, his face was calm, and he was not affected by the atmosphere at all.

"One possibility is that she never loved you from the beginning to the end. She was looking forward to your birth because she hoped to use you to tie your father's heart, but you didn't. Your birth and growth didn't bring your mother any extra attention and love for your father, and you didn't even get any extra attention from your father, so she was very disappointed with you."

Qin Xiao's words were merciless and ruthless, so much so that Mo Hanyu and Qiu Puyue were stunned and couldn't believe that he said this.

Yin Xihui stared at him coldly but did not refute.

"In her expectation, giving birth to you should have earned you some love from your father, or even earned your father's favor. And when your father loves you, he will naturally love you and your mother more."

"But the result was not like that. You didn't get your father's love, and naturally your mother didn't get it either. And you, who are not loved by your father, are useless to your mother, do you understand?" Qin Xiao looked at him steadily, his tone calm, and the whole thing was straightforward without any waves.

"For useless people, naturally there is no need for much attention." Qin Xiao said lightly, "But if your destruction can highlight your brothers and sisters, make your father who likes your brothers and sisters happy, and make the mother who caused all this get attention, it will be a worthwhile thing for your mother."

"So after she knew that your father didn't like you and wanted you to disappear quickly, and even after she saw that Yin Fangyun and the others wanted to kill you, she still let you come alone - she was giving them this opportunity, including not letting you enter the Qi Cultivation Academy. As long as you stop your cultivation, no matter how powerful you are now, you are only a ten-year-old child after all, and you have only been cultivating for four years."

"One day, your brothers and sisters will catch up with you and step on you. You will become the best foil for them—"

“Qin Xiao!!”

Qiu Puyue suddenly interrupted, breathing rapidly, even panting.

"do not talk……"

Qiu Purue said weakly, looking up at Yin Xihui - he still had his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What Qin Xiao said is just a hypothesis, isn't it?" Qiu Puryue said, her voice trembling for some reason, trying to comfort him, "Maybe it's not that bad, maybe she just-"

Before Qiu Puyue finished speaking, Yin Xihui, who had been silent all the time, suddenly burst into laughter.

This happy laughter made Qiu Puryue stunned on the ground for a moment, staring at him blankly.

Yin Xihui couldn't stop laughing, as if he had heard a very funny joke. He almost fell to the ground with laughter, and tears soon filled his eyes.

"Qin Xiao, hahahaha...you, you——" Yin Xihui covered his forehead, laughing uncontrollably, "You are really a genius."

Qin Xiao didn't answer and just looked at him quietly.

"Can you tell me how you came up with this idea?" Yin Xihui smiled and raised his head. His eyes were filled with tears, making his dark eyes look crystal clear.

"I was wondering, why are you always so weird..."

"I see."

Yin Xihui smiled, blinked, wiped away the tears in his eyes, but his eyes still curved uncontrollably.

"So that's how it is..." Yin Xihui's mouth corners finally drooped, with a bit of sadness, his words were tinged with sorrow, and his voice began to tremble.

"If that's the case, it makes sense."

Tears flowed uncontrollably, but I no longer had the strength to wipe them away.

"At first, I thought that if I worked harder and did better, she would be able to see me and be proud of me..." Yin Xihui said this and laughed softly, "Now that I think about it, it's so ridiculous."

Qiu Puryue looked at him sadly and wanted to go forward to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say.

"Can you tell me, Qin Xiao?" Yin Xihui raised his head, his eyes flickering with broken light, "How did you come up with this?"

Qin Xiao looked at him, without showing the sad expression like Qiu Puyue, nor was he as entangled as Mo Hanyu, he just looked at him calmly.

"Maybe... because my mother before me was like that?"

Qin Xiao's tone did not fluctuate at all from beginning to end, and his eyes were as calm as a bottomless pool of stagnant water.
