In order to survive, she forced herself to have a happy ending with the yandere villain.

After that, Xie Ze never saw Xie Yi again.

Xie Yi went to the agreed-upon location every week, but still didn't see him. He already knew that their brotherhood was over.

It wasn't until Xie was fourteen that he received news from the outside world.

The fifteen-year-old boy ran away from home and encountered danger, but fortunately he was rescued and his life was saved.

But after that, many secret guards were sent to the young master's side.

Xie Yi was among them.

When Xie Yi arrived before the young master with several guards to let him recognize him, he realized that the long-lost Brother Aze was actually Xie Ze, the young master of the Xie family!

At fifteen, his frame was much smaller than normal, and even Xie Yi, who was a year younger than him, was much taller.

She still looked like a girl, withered and thin, without the energy and spirit she used to have.

The other party no longer cares about this.

The ethereal brother looked at him with nothing but disdain.

The young master also felt that they were all spies sent by the master to monitor him.

Xie Yi once secretly went to Xie Ze's bedside to talk to him when everyone was away.

"Brother Ze, don't you remember me? I'm Xie Yi."

Xie Ze simply spoke in a low voice:

"Xie Yi, can you take me away from here?"

"... "

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard the young master's words.

Looking at the thin man in front of me, his face was as pale as a living dead, as if he had suffered from some serious illness, and his legs had lost all strength.

Looking into Xie Yi's eyes, they all held a hint of expectation.

Unfortunately, Xie Yisheng was a member of the Xie family, and he died a member of the Xie family; he could not disobey his master's orders.

He lowered his head and shook his head, rejecting the young master's wish.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ze."

"... "

The young master on the bed turned his head away and refused to see him again.

"You go."

"it is good."

Xie Yi knew then that he could never be good brothers with the young master again.

Later, he discovered that every time the young master went to the master's pharmacy, he would return with a more severe and broken condition.

He learned from Steward Zhong that the young master had been treated as a tool for drug testing by his own biological father.

From childhood to adulthood.

The toxins had already seeped into the bone marrow, and the master's poison was even more potent.

Every time the young master calmed down a bit, he was tortured again.

Even his legs have been tortured to the point that they are occasionally crippled.

He knew very well that the young master had always wanted to break free from the master's control.

However, he lacked the ability to save the young master, also because of his cowardice.

If the secret guards fail to complete their mission, they will be dealt with directly by the master.

He was afraid, so he could only watch helplessly as the young master was cruelly harmed by the master.

On one occasion, he couldn't bear to see the young master being harmed, so he went to plead with the master.

As a bodyguard, Xie Yi had already offended the master.

Xie Yi knelt on the ground, with Master Xie Zhentian standing in front of him.

He lowered his head and knelt down, pleading:

"Master, the young master tested the poison yesterday and is too ill to get out of bed. Please grant him a few more days to rest and recuperate."

"Are you Ze'er's bodyguard?"

"Yes."

"Oh, what audacity! How dare you disobey your master's orders?"

Xie Yi's face turned pale, and he slammed his head hard against the ground, saying in a panic:

“Master, Xie Yi had no other intentions. He just felt sorry for the young master, who was so ill.”

"You mean, as a father, I don't care about him? You think I, Xie Zhentian, am a villain who hurts his own son?"

"!!"

Hearing Xie Zhentian's anger, Xie Yi quickly explained:

"No, Xie Yi wouldn't dare."

"Hmph, I think you're quite bold. You're just a servant, yet you dare to disobey my orders?"

Xie Zhentian picked up the sword from the table and slashed at Xie Yi.

Just then, Xie Ze, who was in a wheelchair, arrived.

"Father, please stop."

"Oh, my son has finally arrived?"

Xie Zhentian's sword paused, preventing it from striking Xie Yi's neck.

Xie Yi shuddered, his face covered in sweat from nervousness, and turned his head to see the wheelchair being pushed over.

He could hear the young master pleading for him:

"Father, I beg you to spare him."

"Ze'er, you'll pay the price for what you're doing."

“Your son knows, your son can withstand double, no, triple the number of poison tests.”

Xie Zhentian listened to Xie Ze take responsibility and smiled so happily that he couldn't stop.

"Haha, this price is good. I like it."

From then on, every time the young master tested poison, it was a new drug that the master had developed over a period of time.

I was half dead when I came out of the master's pharmacy.

After Xie finished thinking, he couldn't help but clench his fists a few more times.

The young master had always treated him well, but he was powerless to help him.

Xie Yi felt very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, he caught sight of the young master's calligraphy copybook on his desk.

"!"

He went closer and saw that the young master had written a poem, but added a familiar word at the end.

"Wan?"

Xie opened his eyes slightly, as if something had suddenly occurred to him.

Since his identity cannot help the young master, Qiao Wanwan can.

As the daughter of the martial arts alliance leader, even if she did something excessive...

With the martial arts alliance leader protecting her, the master wouldn't harm her either.

Wouldn't it be a better choice if she could take the young master away from the Xie family mansion?

Having figured everything out, Xie Yi's figure "whooshed" away from the study.

...

Buckle buckle buckle

"Who?"

The dark figure hiding by the window withdrew its hand and spoke softly.

"Miss Qiao, my young master invites you."

"?"

It was Xie Yi's voice.

Qiao Wanwan frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked:

"Why is he contacting me so late instead of sleeping?"

"... "

Xie Yi, standing outside the window, remained silent for a moment before slowly replying:

"I don't know, please take me there."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

Qiao Wanwan thought to herself that this was the villain's house, and since he had invited her, she felt embarrassed not to go.

Moreover, he had already said that he wouldn't let anything happen to him in the Xie family.

It shouldn't be anything serious, right?

It wouldn't hurt to go.

Qiao Wanwan tidied her clothes, casually tied up her long hair, opened the door, and went out.

Seeing the man in black waiting at the gate, she quietly followed him.

It did not disturb Chunxia in the next room.

At midnight, the stars illuminated the earth, making it barely possible to see the way.

Xie Yi led Qiao Wanwan through several turns before finally arriving at a house dimly lit by candlelight.

When they were still ten meters away from the house, Xie Yi stopped and whispered to Qiao Wanwan behind him:

"Miss Qiao, this is it. The young master is inside. Please walk over quietly."

"?"

Wasn't it the other person who wanted to see her?

It's going to pass quietly, so mysterious?

Will it disturb the other people in the Xie family?

Qiao Wanwan has no idea what the current situation is.

"Ah."

Qiao Wanwan followed his example, nodding softly and making an OK sign with her hand.

"... "

Xie Yi certainly didn't understand, but it was good that she agreed.

He glanced at the room lit by candlelight, then looked expectantly at Miss Qiao in front of him.

They were all thinking to themselves:

I just hope that Miss Qiao can stop the young master from testing the poison this time, so that he won't suffer so much.

He calmed himself down, then picked up his foot and left the spot, disappearing without a trace.

Qiao Wanwan was left alone outside.
