Ancestor, please forgive the younger generation for committing a crime!
Chapter 68 Temptation (4)
What is it that makes him so ready to fight, and even wants to discuss with this person again and again at this place and at this time?
A certain guess gradually surfaced, combined with many previous clues, Xu Ruilang felt that he seemed to have realized something.
The author has something to say: I finally finished writing the thesis, so I can update it on time today~ By the way, I pray that tomorrow will be fine, and the update will continue on time (put your hands together, thanks~)
In addition, welcome friends who have new collections, and look forward to your thoughts and suggestions~
☆, too much surprise
"Actually, I don't think it's a big deal."
Xu Zhengchuan's embarrassment and seriousness did not affect the will of the visitor. After hearing the other party's excuses, the visitor became more and more indifferent: "Back then, my lineage was forced to stay in the world of oblivion. Now I just want to To return what should belong to me, I think, this is not enough to be embarrassing anyway."
"Yes, it was indeed our behavior that was flawed at the beginning, and now your request is justified." Xu Zhengchuan frowned, and his tone became more and more serious, "We can accept all the rest of your requests, but only one point, about Is it true that the time for succession can no longer be discussed? Time is running out, and we really can't find a suitable candidate to take your place..."
"How long do you want?" The visitor asked without a single veto.
"Ten, no, five years!" As soon as he caught a glimpse of the sarcasm on the face of the arrival, Xu Zhengchuan immediately changed his words, "In just five years, our Xu family will do our best to cultivate a person who can be a gatekeeper." the responsible person!"
"Five years?"
With a sneer, the calm tone of the visitor was finally broken: "Xu Zhengchuan, do I seem to be so easy to talk to, so that you are now used to our lineage getting what you want?"
"No, you misunderstood..."
"Okay! Don't explain anymore, I don't want to quit anymore." Coldly interrupting the other party's attempt to explain, the visitor made the final decision, "You should remember when my father passed away, right? Five years too Long, a month at most."
"Brother, you..."
"That's it. After one month, I hope to see the results I am satisfied with. This is already the maximum deadline I can give."
"Wait!……"
Unable to stop the coming figure from turning around and leaving, Xu Zhengchuan could only watch helplessly as the light curtain in front of him went out, and the next second, the three-legged small tripod glowing with blue light also returned to normal after a few flashes.
Standing quietly for a long time, Xu Zhengchuan's consciousness was barely recalled until a cool breeze blew by: "Hey, we've come to this point after all..."
Hearing this long sigh of melancholy and regret, Xu Ruilang's heart tightened, and his subordinates accidentally broke a certain branch with force, and the crisp "click" sound was very obvious in such a quiet night.
!!!
Done!
Xu Ruilang broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, then quickly withdrew his hands and said nothing, then hid in the dense bushes as lightly as possible, with the branches and leaves on his head, praying desperately in his heart that he would not be caught Discover.
——And the God of Destiny has really been taking care of this young man who is full of lawsuits tonight.
Xu Zhengchuan, who frowned tightly, probably was annoyed enough by the one-month deadline. Under the restlessness, he didn't seem to hear the crisp sound of branches breaking.And after packing up the fragmentary utensils used in the ceremony, he walked back and forth without even looking at the source of the sound. Soon, he disappeared from Xu Ruilang's sight.
Xu Ruilang, who was always worried about being discovered, said: ...
Forget it, it's a good thing not to be discovered after all, he has to be content.
After despising himself for making a lot of fuss, Xu Ruilang relaxed and looked at the empty environment around him, so he didn't plan to hide anymore.
Everyone has left, and the ceremony is over, so it should be time for him to accept the "surprise".
Finally, he didn't have to be short and wronged himself to hide in the half-meter-high bushes. The first thing Xu Ruilang did when he stood up straight was to stretch fiercely. After completely stretching his body, he sighed in satisfaction.
Although the coming and going tonight is a bit of a toss, but overall the harvest is not small.My dad can put it aside for now, the most important thing now is to find that person——
"call!"
Taking out one of the "gifts" in the brocade cloth bag, Xu Ruilang used the abilities that had just recovered in his body, and in just an instant, lit up the familiar pale yellow charm between his fingers.
Then, the pale cyan light soared!
Closing his eyes, Xu Ruilang's hair was messed up by the howling and tumbling wind, and his short-sleeved trousers with black stripes on a white background were blown loudly, but the dust and broken leaves that hit his face were kept away from the young man by a foot.
"haven't seen you for a long time--"
As the wind subsided, Xu Ruilang couldn't help opening his eyes when the clear male voice almost sighed in his ears, and responded: "My lord forgot, we just met each other not long ago."
"..."
Shi Tian who reappeared in this world is the same as he was a few days ago.
A sky-blue tunic, and a simple ebony hairpin tied up his ink-like long hair, revealing a jade-like face and a nearly transparent neck.
With black hair and black eyebrows, light lips, and waving his sleeves, he showed his elegant demeanor.
"Because the duration of the summoning spell is not long, let's not talk nonsense and go directly to the topic."
Taking the lead to look away, Xu Ruilang tried his best to get rid of the strong influence of the other party on him, and straightened his face as much as possible: "Is the surprise you want to show me the one just now?"
"……Yes."
Sighing softly, seeing the young man in front of him unwilling to look directly at him, and even wanting to distance himself from him as much as possible (?), Shi Tian was helpless for a moment, but he still replied softly: "When I sent you away, , I once said that it is difficult for the two worlds to have a space channel that can accommodate people to communicate frequently. This is true, and it is also because of this that I didn't want to be the one you stayed in the forgotten world..."
"But what do you say now? Just now, what happened to the formation that the Xu family put on?"
Hastily interrupting Shi Tian's words, under the helpless and conniving eyes of the opposite party, listening to the doting and gentle tone of the other party, it was difficult for Xu Ruilang to convince himself that he could not be tempted and joyful, so he chose to escape for the time being.
——Now is not the time to indulge your personal feelings.
"The formation just now is a ceremony handed down by the Xu family to communicate with the forgotten world. As long as there is a child of the Xu family in the forgotten world, they can connect this world with the forgotten world through this ceremony. If the power is strong enough, they can open the two worlds in one fell swoop The passage in the Fang World is also possible." Shi Tianzhi said everything, "I am the 'gatekeeper' left by the Xu family in the Forgotten World, and I am also the guarantee for the Xu family to control this passage."
"So, if we can connect this channel, we can freely enter and exit the forgotten world." Xu Ruilang thought thoughtfully, "—is that what you mean?"
"That's right, this is the safest and most convenient way to travel between the two worlds that I know of." Shi Tian nodded.
"Then I can..."
"No."
Before Xu Ruilang could finish speaking, Shi Tian had already categorically rejected his idea: "Not to mention the enormous power required to open the passage, but the method of opening the passage can only be mastered and succeeded by the direct descendants of the Xu family. If you want to use this method to travel between the two worlds, the first thing you need to solve is to find a direct descendant of the Xu family who is strong enough. And such a person is too difficult to control."
A direct lineage of the Xu family?
Isn't he!
Opening his mouth, Xu Ruilang changed his words a moment before revealing his identity: "Then what do you mean by what you said to the Xu family tonight, that you want someone to take over your 'gatekeeper' position?"
"Yes. According to the original rules, the gatekeeper's seat should be replaced in turn. The ancestors of the Xu family broke this rule, and it is time to correct it now." Shi Tian seemed to remember something, his eyes became distant, and his expression changed. Restoration light.
"Then why didn't you make a correction before, you insisted..."
——Is it because of the reason he thought that he had to wait until this time?
Xu Ruilang couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart.
"I thought you knew."
Feeling the softer gaze on him, Xu Ruilang could even read the unspoken words from the other party's undisguised expression—it was all for you.
Silent is better than sound.
Xu Ruilang could hardly hold back.
"cough!"
With a light cough, Xu Ruilang silently recited words such as "beauty with dry bones", "beauty misleads people", "color is emptiness and emptiness is color" (what the hell is this!), and abruptly brought back the topic: "I am also from the Xu family, normal Speaking of which, I'm also on the list to take your place."
"No, I've considered this before." With a faint smile, Shi Tian's eyes were full of confidence that he was in control, "The only ones who can take over the position of 'Gatekeeper' are the direct descendants of the Xu family. No matter how close you are, you won't be able to become the gatekeeper, so don't worry."
How can we not be worried, he is one of the veritable direct descendants!
"By the way, I heard that the current Patriarch of the Xu family still has a son, and he is the one with the strongest bloodline. The rest of the bloodlines are either weak in strength or wrong in age. I guess in the end, the position of gatekeeper will still have to be rotated." It is God's will to fall on the head of Xu Zhengchuan's son..."
It was God's will, God's will meant that one of us must stay in the forgotten world, and then look at each other across the world, forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes...
While complaining wildly, Xu Ruilang had three black threads hanging from his head, and his face was full of indescribable words.
Shi Tian's balabala was analyzing, but he didn't notice Xu Ruilang's complex expression for a while.After finally analyzing it, he didn't forget to repeat "don't worry", and without knowing it, he once again poked the young man's complicated and fragile heart.
"May I ask—"
Xu Ruilang finally couldn't bear it any longer, and bit the bullet, he asked the biggest question in his heart: "Where did you hear that Xu Er, Xu Zhengchuan's son is full of blood and powerful, and he will definitely be qualified for the position of 'Gatekeeper' ?Also, by the way, how do you know I'm a collateral child?"
Where is the source of the news?Must be banned!It's all so fake!
Seemingly feeling the youth's invisible resentment, Shi Tian hesitated for a moment, and then confessed honestly: "When our lineage stayed behind in the world of oblivion, we left a copy of the genealogy in our hands. Generally speaking, the genealogy can show The information, I will have a backup here..."
"and then?"
If there is a backup, how could it be possible not to know that he is the number one candidate for the "Gatekeeper" with "strong blood and powerful strength", where is Xu Ruilang? !
"But because it's just a copy after all, I can't see some key information. For example, personal information, I can only know a general relationship, and the rest can't be helped."
So, we can only know that his father has a son, and the rest can only be guessed?Oh, no, maybe I don't even know whether it's a man or a woman, after all, I only have a "son"!
"However, I can feel the strength of everyone's blood. Based on this, I can be sure that Xu Zhengchuan's child is qualified for the position of gatekeeper. I didn't know before that what Xu Zhengchuan said was all evasive words."
Seeing the complex face of the young man without any joy, Shi Tianfu added another sentence, and incidentally explained the reason why his previous attitude was "relatively tough".
He just thought that maybe the young man had too much affection for the Xu family, so he was not happy to see the scene of him "speaking rudely" to the Xu family, but for the time being, he hadn't thought of anything else——
For example, the "Xu Zhengchuan" he said without respect was the father of the handsome young man in front of him, the kind he had born himself.
For another example, the only candidate he said to take over his position as "Gatekeeper", the so-called only son of Xu Zhengchuan, was also the handsome young man in front of him, the one with his real name.
Nodding his head dispensably, Xu Ruilang didn't forget another question, and continued to ask: "How do you know I'm a collateral bloodline, isn't my bloodline strong enough?"
"That's not true. In fact, I can feel that your bloodline has far surpassed most of the Xu family, and it seems to be much stronger than the general bloodline of the direct line..." Shi Tian was also a little puzzled, but he did It can also be justified, "It may be a phenomenon of atavism. It is not surprising that there will occasionally be one or two existences with particularly strong blood in the collateral lineage."
"...Didn't it ever occur to you that I might be a direct bloodline?" Xu Ruilang couldn't bear it any longer, and tried to make it clear.
"I have thought about this possibility."
Sure enough, he knew that it was impossible for a man not to suspect...
"But this may be quickly denied by me."
ha? !
Xu Ruilang's reassuring thoughts only lasted for a moment before it was completely shattered, he was a little unconvinced: "Why, don't I look like a direct descendant? How do I compare with others?!"
The focus is off bro!
"...cough, no, what I mean is, I don't look like a direct descendant of the Xu family?" Xu Ruilang gave a fake cough in embarrassment, and "questioned" again.
"That was not what I meant."
Shi Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt helpless at the "jealous" behavior of the young man in front of him: "It's not that you are any worse than others, but according to the usual practice, once the next generation of the Xu family comes of age, the current head of the Xu family will tell the next generation about the Forgotten World. Especially As a descendant of the direct line, it is necessary to start exercising from an early age, and once an adult, the elders of the clan will guide the awakening of talent, and then start to cultivate."
After such a simple explanation, Shi Tian touched Xu Ruilang's head who was stunned, and said with a fond smile: "You were already an adult when you fell into the forgotten world, but your talent has not been awakened, and body training came later. It just started, so naturally it can't be a direct descendant who has been trained since childhood. Some collateral descendants who are not valued or whose blood is too thin may be like this, so I speculate that you cannot be a direct descendant of the Xu family."
Xu Ruilang, who was defaulted to be "too big to accept the facts", was indeed stunned at this time.
How could he, the authentic and genuine direct descendant of the Xu family, not know that the Xu family still had such an "elite course" cultivated since childhood?After living for more than twenty years, did he live in a dream?
"But Xu Zhengchuan is my father, so I should be his biological son, that's right..."
A murmur came out of Xu Ruilang's mouth, and in the next moment, he felt the hand on his head froze. Not long after, a barely audible, almost unbelievable, erratic voice came from above his head— —
"Who are you talking about, whose son are you?"
The author has something to say: Little Theater:
Xu Ruilang: Dad, I heard that I am not your own?
Father Xu: Nonsense!You are my October... Cough, my wife gave birth to October, and I watched the whole process, how could I make a mistake!
Xu Ruilang: Then why didn't I attend the legendary "elite preschool" in the Xu family?It is said that your own baby must participate in this.
Dad Xu: Be good, don't listen to those messy legends.That kind of preschool is too naive, and the baby is very smart at the beginning, so there is no need to participate in these things.
Xu Ruilang (suddenly realized): So that's the case, then I have to tell my mother, otherwise it will be bad for my mother to continue to misunderstand.
Father Xu (feeling bad): What do you mean, what did your mother misunderstand?
Xu Ruilang (beautiful.gif): Oh, well, my mother misunderstood that you suspected that she was having an affair, that's why she didn't let her child attend Xu's "preschool class"... By the way, I'm packing my luggage now, and I heard that I'm going back to my mother's house a period of time.
Dad Xu (turned pale with shock): You kid is cheating! This is it!Don't say it sooner!You wait for me, I'll deal with you when I come back!Wife, don't rush to leave, just listen to me explain to you...
Running farther and farther to chase his wife.
☆, anger and bet
The moonlight was like water, and in front of the empty Xie family's secret room, the ground was covered with fallen flowers and fallen leaves.And in such a messy scene, the appearance of two men with similar stature standing opposite each other seemed a little nervous.
"Sorry, I couldn't hear clearly just now, can you say it again?" The gentleness remained unchanged, Shi Tian looked at the young man opposite him with a gentle expression, "Whose son do you say you are?"
"Xu Zhengchuan, that's the man who talked to you just now. I'm his son." Xu Ruilang repeated without delay or denial.
"...Ha, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family?"
Shaking his head and holding his forehead, Shi Tian's sigh and chuckle did not make Xu Ruilang relax much, but his nerves became more tense: "Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but you didn't ask at the beginning, so..."
"I know, this matter has nothing to do with you, I guessed wrong."
Even though his mind was in chaos, Shi Tian didn't think about embarrassing him, and he unconsciously excused him both in words and in his heart: "I didn't expect Xu Zhengchuan to play cards so unreasonably. You are enlightened by body forging, and you are not even allowed to participate in the gathering ceremony of direct descendants like this tonight—”
The murmured excuses got faster and faster, and then stopped abruptly at a certain moment!
"Uh, I don't know about these things. Although you said this is a common practice, in fact, before I fell into the world of oblivion, I didn't know that there was such a world..."
Seeing the man who was obviously in a wrong mood, Xu Ruilang was also a little at a loss.He didn't know what he was talking about, he only knew that things had deviated from the preset track, and everything seemed too simple for him.
"I know."
The man interrupted the young man again, muttered in his mouth, and repeated "I know" again.
However, Shi Tian's emotional catharsis only appeared for a moment, and soon, before Xu Ruilang could understand the meaning of the other party's expression, he had restrained all the emotions that were exposed.
"I know everything, it's just a coincidence." Accepting the facts, Shi Tian raised his hand to stop the young man from explaining again, "I know what you mean, I will take care of the Xu family's affairs, Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
"You won't embarrass me, what do you want to do, take back the idea of letting the Xu family choose the gatekeeper?"
Xu Ruilang was also a little annoyed when the successive openings were interrupted.
What does this mean, do you want to say goodbye to him completely?I heard that he is a direct descendant of the Xu family, so do you regret what you did before?Is the enmity between him and the direct descendants of the Xu family really unsolvable?
Oh, I was wrong, in fact Xu Ruilang's "Little Comrade" still thinks too simply, he doesn't have enmity with the Xu family's direct lineage, to be precise, he has enmity with the entire Xu family.It's just that the hatred value attracted by the direct line is greater, relatively speaking, the tolerance for the collateral line is higher, and it is easier to forgive.
"Anyway, I won't let you replace the gatekeeper, you don't have to worry."
Standing with his arms folded, Shi Tian's tone was indifferent, and the expression on his face was the familiar alienation and indifference - just like when they first met.
"I'm not worried, why would I worry about this!" Xu Ruilang gritted his teeth and replied with a smile, even with a slightly grim expression, "You have always planned strategies, I will just listen to you!"
He didn't understand, what did the other party mean by this, and what unsolvable enmity did he have with the Xu family's direct line?Wouldn't it be good for the two of you to discuss it together? If you want to keep everything in your heart and handle it yourself, he thinks how big a heart he has!
"Well, I'll reply to you again. It's getting late, I'll go back first, see you later."
Shi Tian's heart was far less calm than he appeared on the surface. Not only did he not even hear the obviously inappropriate tone of the young man opposite him, but he also nodded slightly after a few casual words without waiting for him. In response, he immediately dispersed.
In a blink of an eye, it disappeared out of thin air.
Ahhhhh!What kind of trouble is this!Speak clearly before leaving!
Seeing Xu Ruilang who left without saying anything, he immediately went crazy!The appearance of exploding in place like that is obviously going crazy.
"Wake up, it's already good enough that people didn't kill you directly, and you still expect to be able to talk to you and have a romantic relationship?"
A cool voice came from behind, and Xu Ruilang, who was so frightened and depressed that he almost turned around in circles, was jolted up, and he "woke up" in an instant.
Turning around quickly, Xu Ruilang swallowed the power in his hand, and subconsciously put on an attacking state: "What... Dad?!"
"Well, it's your father and me."
Nodding calmly, Xu Zhengchuan walked to his son without any guilt, and then continued with the previous topic: "I didn't expect you to know Qianli, and the relationship is not shallow. What about the two years of disappearance?"
Responding sullenly, Xu Ruilang withdrew the power in his palm, completely depressed: "Hiding aside and peeping, it's disrespectful for old people."
"Go, do you say that about your father!" Frowning in disgust, Xu's father retorted plausibly, "That's called deep worry. If it wasn't for worrying about what happened to you, I couldn't explain to your mother, so I wouldn't Force yourself to watch from the sidelines, what's the point of listening to something in the corner?"
If you want to see it, just watch it face to face and ask questions.
"Ah."
After uttering a modal particle with unclear meaning, Xu Ruilang turned his back and squatted down, group, group, closed himself.
After rebutting confidently and going back, Xu Zhengchuan looked at his son's "heavy back" and was a little embarrassed: "I haven't pursued the matter of you running over by yourself, what are you... Forget it, I want to know what to do." Li, I can tell you roughly—”
Uh.
Facing his son who turned abruptly and his eyes were still bright, Xu Qianerkong's father silently added: "It's just for you to study family history. You still have other homework to complete when you go back." .”
I silently reiterated the principle in my heart, and then, with a stern and selfless expression, Xu's father, who was about to tell the "family history", was very principled... He shook out all the old things, um, nothing happened The kind of size.
As if pouring beans into a bamboo tube, he explained everything clearly. Xu Zhengchuan added a comment at the end: "So just now I was really worried about Ganli fighting with you, after all..."
"After all, I am the son of his enemy, and it is said that I have the strongest blood of the enemy's family." With a blank face, Xu Ruilang continued the second half of the sentence.
"Ah, that's pretty much what it means." After shutting his mouth, Father Xu stopped talking.
"...Okay, I get it, this should be something you guys have been trying to keep a secret, right? Is there anything else to say?" Wiping his face, Xu Ruilang forced himself to cheer up and asked casually.
"Basically, it's these things."
Seeing that he was caught by someone by accident, Xu Zhengchuan didn't try to hide anything: "After you go back, you can also tell Xiao Yu and Mu Yang that you don't need to hide it from them. Besides, since you already know The grievances between Qianli and our Xu family's direct line, I hope you will try to keep with him..."
"Shi Tian."
A word popped out suddenly, Xu Ruilang's abrupt utterance stunned Xu Zhengchuan for a moment, and subconsciously let out an "ah".
"The person I know is called Shi Tian, not some Ganli."
After Xu Ruilang reiterated it calmly, he turned around and left with a cold face. The appearance of leaving in a hurry obviously didn't want to continue this topic anymore.
In the same place, father Xu, who was originally in a daze, saw the young man's leaving back completely disappear from sight, but slowly restrained the harmless and kind expression on his face, and replaced it with His face was deep and... cold!
Don't go too far...
……
"Your ancestors imprisoned Senior Shi's lineage in the Forgotten World before, and didn't allow them to come back! It's over, this enmity can be forged, the deadly enmity passed down from your ancestors, it's over... ..."
He punched Gu Yu who was speaking in frustration, and Qi Muyang withdrew his hand without blinking his eyes. Even though the other party was coughing non-stop, he racked his brains and said in relief: "It's okay, Senior Shi doesn't seem to be People who are unreasonable should not vent their anger."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, it's a world feud, cough, cough... murder, you..."
"To shut up!"
Pressing Gu Yu who was unwilling to be lonely again, Qi Muyang glared at the other party fiercely, then turned his gaze back to Xu Ruilang who was silent, and continued to try to comfort: "Well, don't worry about Gu Yu's words, he It’s just that sometimes I don’t think about it…”
"woo woo woo woo!"
You are nothing but brains!The young master wants to cut the mess quickly with a sharp knife, cut the weeds and root out the roots, okay?
Qi Muyang didn't receive the brainwaves that Gu Yu was trying to transmit, and he still tightly covered the other's mouth with his hands, resolutely not allowing anyone to say anything "not brain".It was just an accident, his hand seemed to move up a bit——
Gu Yu struggled even more.
"woo woo woo woo!"
"Don't be noisy! It's best if you don't talk now!"
Without turning his head, he drank a sentence, Qi Muyang cruelly deprived Gu Yu of the right to speak, and then continued to think of comforting words.
And here, Xu Ruilang, who had been in a daze and didn't speak for a long time, accidentally caught a glimpse of Gu Yu who was red-faced and danced non-stop, and he was so blessed that he finally spoke: "Ayang, let go, Ayu is about to be smothered to death by you."
"Ah? Ah! Sorry! I didn't notice..."
Dazed for a moment, Qi Muyang followed Xu Ruilang's gaze and looked at Gu Yu who was about to enter a state of shock beside him, then trembled, and immediately let go.
"..."
Gu Yu, who was only able to "huh" and gasp for breath, was finally able to breathe fresh air, but he couldn't say any "accusations" for the time being. He was holding his chest as if he was about to die, and his outstretched fingers were trembling.
"I know, you want to say that Ayang murdered his brother, and the brotherhood of more than [-] years has been fed to the dog, right? I'll say it for you. You can catch your breath before we talk about it."
He thoughtfully said what the other party wanted to say, and after getting a firm nod, Xu Ruilang turned his head to look at Qi Muyang, who was stuttering at a loss, and said patiently: "You want to say that you didn't do it on purpose, right? Unintentional mistakes, absolutely. Didn't think about murder or anything?"
Another resolute nod, with a grateful look in his eyes, Xu Ruilang solved the "attempted murder" accident by himself, directing and acting alone when both parties were speechless.
"Okay, Ah Yang didn't mean it. He apologized so sincerely. Ah Yu, don't be wronged and angry."
"Ayang, this time it was an accident, you have to be more careful next time. You are not as strong as before, you know that it is easy to cause problems if you are not careful?"
After lightly resolving the "grievances" between the two parties, Xu Ruilang's mood finally became a little more lively: "Okay, I'm here this time mainly to explain the matter of seniors to you. By the way, I may I will replace Senior Shi and take over the position of gatekeeper. It will not be so easy to meet in the future, I hope you will come to see me more, I will look forward to your arrival."
After finally recovering his breath, Gu Yu took a look at Qi Muyang, who bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and then wanted to hold back a bit, and strive for greater "compensation", but suddenly heard the news announced by Xu Ruilang, and he was immediately surprised: "Wait! How did you become the gatekeeper? Didn't Senior Shi say that he wouldn't let you..."
"That's what he said, I didn't agree." Xu Ruilang said lightly.
"If you didn't agree, then you are going to take over his position! Why, you don't want to stay here, are you willing to give up everything in this world, including us?" Gu Yu couldn't care less about "competing" with Qi Muyang Yes, asked repeatedly.
"I just want to be as fair as possible."
"There is no such thing as fairness!"
Qi Muyang couldn't help it anymore: "Senior Shi has already said that if nothing happens, you are the most likely to take over his seat. You still can't think about it and insist on talking about fairness! The fair result is that you will be selected 100%!"
"Then choose, I don't care." Xu Ruilang lowered his eyes, his tone was still calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"you!"
Gu Yu waved his hands angrily, and was blocked by these words: "Why are you so stubborn! You don't want to be for Senior Shi, why would you sacrifice so much for one person!"
"It's not just for him, it's mainly... Forget it, you can just treat me as self-redemption."
Raising his head and then lowering it, Xu Ruilang opened his mouth and still didn't say anything, as if he was letting it go and would not speak no matter how anyone guessed.
What can he say, saying that he feels sorry for his father because of his father's affairs?Feeling guilty and in need of atonement?
Ah, these are still too fake.
It is true that he felt that his ancestors could not forgive Shi Tian's lineage. Similarly, what his parents did back then was not normal.The trouble back then not only made Shi Tian trapped in the Forgotten World just like their ancestors because of the messy things agreed upon by their responsibilities, it even forced Shi Tian to further narrow the scope of his activities, trapping him in the forest of confusion For the rest of my life, I couldn't step out of the forest.
However, if this is the only case, he can discuss with others, maybe two people stationed in the forgotten world together, and having a few rotation opportunities from time to time is also a solution.
It's a pity that Shi Tian's appearance of avoiding talking about it at that time, turning around and leaving still left a shadow on him.To put it hypocritically, Xu Ruilang is holding his breath now, just wanting to see how Shi Tian will react when he sees that the replacement is him.
He bet this time!
If he wins, everyone will be happy; if he loses... at worst, he will forget the world and guard his life for the rest of his life!
The author has something to say: The locked chapters are really too difficult to unlock, they are all descriptions above the neck, why did they lock me again (tired to cry)
☆、Ritual restart
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the one-month deadline was approaching.
Xu family.
"Tomorrow the ceremony will start, you and I will go together."
In the quiet study room, Xu Zhengchuan leaned back on the small sofa, flipped through the newspaper in his hand, and suddenly said something casually.
"it is good."
Xu Ruilang, who was also sitting on the sofa, just flipping through various ancient books, also casually gave his reply.
Simply agree, and then, the room returned to silence.
After being silent for a long time, when the night was about to pass in silence like before, Xu Zhengchuan finally spoke again——
He confirmed for the last time: "You really decided, don't you regret it?"
"of course not."
After closing the book, Xu Ruilang raised his head and looked at his father who was only ready to "talk" on the opposite side. After staring fixedly for a while, he smiled: "You don't think I really want to make amends, do you? It must be Gu Yu and the others. I told you. Don’t worry, I’m not that great, I was just joking at the time, and I decided to garrison the Forgotten World after careful consideration.”
Thoughtful shit!He just held his breath and refused to give up, insisting on dying once.
"Really?"
Xu Zhengchuan looked over with suspicion in his eyes, and the moment Xu Ruilang smiled and looked at him, the sharp eyes of the other party suddenly burst into cold light!
At that moment, Xu Zhengchuan's sharp eyes were like the sharpest knife, aiming directly at his son, as if he wanted to look directly at the unspeakable thoughts in the deepest part of his heart.
"...Of course it's true, why should I lie to you?"
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Ruilang quickly came back to his senses.Not only did he not look away, he also raised his eyebrows with a smile, and asked calmly: "Why, you don't agree with my decision? I think my decision is quite impartial and dedicated."
"I said no, would you change your decision?"
Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Zhengchuan's doubts grew deeper, but he didn't show it on his face: "I didn't tell you about your mother, but after tomorrow, even if I don't tell you
A certain guess gradually surfaced, combined with many previous clues, Xu Ruilang felt that he seemed to have realized something.
The author has something to say: I finally finished writing the thesis, so I can update it on time today~ By the way, I pray that tomorrow will be fine, and the update will continue on time (put your hands together, thanks~)
In addition, welcome friends who have new collections, and look forward to your thoughts and suggestions~
☆, too much surprise
"Actually, I don't think it's a big deal."
Xu Zhengchuan's embarrassment and seriousness did not affect the will of the visitor. After hearing the other party's excuses, the visitor became more and more indifferent: "Back then, my lineage was forced to stay in the world of oblivion. Now I just want to To return what should belong to me, I think, this is not enough to be embarrassing anyway."
"Yes, it was indeed our behavior that was flawed at the beginning, and now your request is justified." Xu Zhengchuan frowned, and his tone became more and more serious, "We can accept all the rest of your requests, but only one point, about Is it true that the time for succession can no longer be discussed? Time is running out, and we really can't find a suitable candidate to take your place..."
"How long do you want?" The visitor asked without a single veto.
"Ten, no, five years!" As soon as he caught a glimpse of the sarcasm on the face of the arrival, Xu Zhengchuan immediately changed his words, "In just five years, our Xu family will do our best to cultivate a person who can be a gatekeeper." the responsible person!"
"Five years?"
With a sneer, the calm tone of the visitor was finally broken: "Xu Zhengchuan, do I seem to be so easy to talk to, so that you are now used to our lineage getting what you want?"
"No, you misunderstood..."
"Okay! Don't explain anymore, I don't want to quit anymore." Coldly interrupting the other party's attempt to explain, the visitor made the final decision, "You should remember when my father passed away, right? Five years too Long, a month at most."
"Brother, you..."
"That's it. After one month, I hope to see the results I am satisfied with. This is already the maximum deadline I can give."
"Wait!……"
Unable to stop the coming figure from turning around and leaving, Xu Zhengchuan could only watch helplessly as the light curtain in front of him went out, and the next second, the three-legged small tripod glowing with blue light also returned to normal after a few flashes.
Standing quietly for a long time, Xu Zhengchuan's consciousness was barely recalled until a cool breeze blew by: "Hey, we've come to this point after all..."
Hearing this long sigh of melancholy and regret, Xu Ruilang's heart tightened, and his subordinates accidentally broke a certain branch with force, and the crisp "click" sound was very obvious in such a quiet night.
!!!
Done!
Xu Ruilang broke out in a cold sweat for a moment, then quickly withdrew his hands and said nothing, then hid in the dense bushes as lightly as possible, with the branches and leaves on his head, praying desperately in his heart that he would not be caught Discover.
——And the God of Destiny has really been taking care of this young man who is full of lawsuits tonight.
Xu Zhengchuan, who frowned tightly, probably was annoyed enough by the one-month deadline. Under the restlessness, he didn't seem to hear the crisp sound of branches breaking.And after packing up the fragmentary utensils used in the ceremony, he walked back and forth without even looking at the source of the sound. Soon, he disappeared from Xu Ruilang's sight.
Xu Ruilang, who was always worried about being discovered, said: ...
Forget it, it's a good thing not to be discovered after all, he has to be content.
After despising himself for making a lot of fuss, Xu Ruilang relaxed and looked at the empty environment around him, so he didn't plan to hide anymore.
Everyone has left, and the ceremony is over, so it should be time for him to accept the "surprise".
Finally, he didn't have to be short and wronged himself to hide in the half-meter-high bushes. The first thing Xu Ruilang did when he stood up straight was to stretch fiercely. After completely stretching his body, he sighed in satisfaction.
Although the coming and going tonight is a bit of a toss, but overall the harvest is not small.My dad can put it aside for now, the most important thing now is to find that person——
"call!"
Taking out one of the "gifts" in the brocade cloth bag, Xu Ruilang used the abilities that had just recovered in his body, and in just an instant, lit up the familiar pale yellow charm between his fingers.
Then, the pale cyan light soared!
Closing his eyes, Xu Ruilang's hair was messed up by the howling and tumbling wind, and his short-sleeved trousers with black stripes on a white background were blown loudly, but the dust and broken leaves that hit his face were kept away from the young man by a foot.
"haven't seen you for a long time--"
As the wind subsided, Xu Ruilang couldn't help opening his eyes when the clear male voice almost sighed in his ears, and responded: "My lord forgot, we just met each other not long ago."
"..."
Shi Tian who reappeared in this world is the same as he was a few days ago.
A sky-blue tunic, and a simple ebony hairpin tied up his ink-like long hair, revealing a jade-like face and a nearly transparent neck.
With black hair and black eyebrows, light lips, and waving his sleeves, he showed his elegant demeanor.
"Because the duration of the summoning spell is not long, let's not talk nonsense and go directly to the topic."
Taking the lead to look away, Xu Ruilang tried his best to get rid of the strong influence of the other party on him, and straightened his face as much as possible: "Is the surprise you want to show me the one just now?"
"……Yes."
Sighing softly, seeing the young man in front of him unwilling to look directly at him, and even wanting to distance himself from him as much as possible (?), Shi Tian was helpless for a moment, but he still replied softly: "When I sent you away, , I once said that it is difficult for the two worlds to have a space channel that can accommodate people to communicate frequently. This is true, and it is also because of this that I didn't want to be the one you stayed in the forgotten world..."
"But what do you say now? Just now, what happened to the formation that the Xu family put on?"
Hastily interrupting Shi Tian's words, under the helpless and conniving eyes of the opposite party, listening to the doting and gentle tone of the other party, it was difficult for Xu Ruilang to convince himself that he could not be tempted and joyful, so he chose to escape for the time being.
——Now is not the time to indulge your personal feelings.
"The formation just now is a ceremony handed down by the Xu family to communicate with the forgotten world. As long as there is a child of the Xu family in the forgotten world, they can connect this world with the forgotten world through this ceremony. If the power is strong enough, they can open the two worlds in one fell swoop The passage in the Fang World is also possible." Shi Tianzhi said everything, "I am the 'gatekeeper' left by the Xu family in the Forgotten World, and I am also the guarantee for the Xu family to control this passage."
"So, if we can connect this channel, we can freely enter and exit the forgotten world." Xu Ruilang thought thoughtfully, "—is that what you mean?"
"That's right, this is the safest and most convenient way to travel between the two worlds that I know of." Shi Tian nodded.
"Then I can..."
"No."
Before Xu Ruilang could finish speaking, Shi Tian had already categorically rejected his idea: "Not to mention the enormous power required to open the passage, but the method of opening the passage can only be mastered and succeeded by the direct descendants of the Xu family. If you want to use this method to travel between the two worlds, the first thing you need to solve is to find a direct descendant of the Xu family who is strong enough. And such a person is too difficult to control."
A direct lineage of the Xu family?
Isn't he!
Opening his mouth, Xu Ruilang changed his words a moment before revealing his identity: "Then what do you mean by what you said to the Xu family tonight, that you want someone to take over your 'gatekeeper' position?"
"Yes. According to the original rules, the gatekeeper's seat should be replaced in turn. The ancestors of the Xu family broke this rule, and it is time to correct it now." Shi Tian seemed to remember something, his eyes became distant, and his expression changed. Restoration light.
"Then why didn't you make a correction before, you insisted..."
——Is it because of the reason he thought that he had to wait until this time?
Xu Ruilang couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart.
"I thought you knew."
Feeling the softer gaze on him, Xu Ruilang could even read the unspoken words from the other party's undisguised expression—it was all for you.
Silent is better than sound.
Xu Ruilang could hardly hold back.
"cough!"
With a light cough, Xu Ruilang silently recited words such as "beauty with dry bones", "beauty misleads people", "color is emptiness and emptiness is color" (what the hell is this!), and abruptly brought back the topic: "I am also from the Xu family, normal Speaking of which, I'm also on the list to take your place."
"No, I've considered this before." With a faint smile, Shi Tian's eyes were full of confidence that he was in control, "The only ones who can take over the position of 'Gatekeeper' are the direct descendants of the Xu family. No matter how close you are, you won't be able to become the gatekeeper, so don't worry."
How can we not be worried, he is one of the veritable direct descendants!
"By the way, I heard that the current Patriarch of the Xu family still has a son, and he is the one with the strongest bloodline. The rest of the bloodlines are either weak in strength or wrong in age. I guess in the end, the position of gatekeeper will still have to be rotated." It is God's will to fall on the head of Xu Zhengchuan's son..."
It was God's will, God's will meant that one of us must stay in the forgotten world, and then look at each other across the world, forgetting each other in the rivers and lakes...
While complaining wildly, Xu Ruilang had three black threads hanging from his head, and his face was full of indescribable words.
Shi Tian's balabala was analyzing, but he didn't notice Xu Ruilang's complex expression for a while.After finally analyzing it, he didn't forget to repeat "don't worry", and without knowing it, he once again poked the young man's complicated and fragile heart.
"May I ask—"
Xu Ruilang finally couldn't bear it any longer, and bit the bullet, he asked the biggest question in his heart: "Where did you hear that Xu Er, Xu Zhengchuan's son is full of blood and powerful, and he will definitely be qualified for the position of 'Gatekeeper' ?Also, by the way, how do you know I'm a collateral child?"
Where is the source of the news?Must be banned!It's all so fake!
Seemingly feeling the youth's invisible resentment, Shi Tian hesitated for a moment, and then confessed honestly: "When our lineage stayed behind in the world of oblivion, we left a copy of the genealogy in our hands. Generally speaking, the genealogy can show The information, I will have a backup here..."
"and then?"
If there is a backup, how could it be possible not to know that he is the number one candidate for the "Gatekeeper" with "strong blood and powerful strength", where is Xu Ruilang? !
"But because it's just a copy after all, I can't see some key information. For example, personal information, I can only know a general relationship, and the rest can't be helped."
So, we can only know that his father has a son, and the rest can only be guessed?Oh, no, maybe I don't even know whether it's a man or a woman, after all, I only have a "son"!
"However, I can feel the strength of everyone's blood. Based on this, I can be sure that Xu Zhengchuan's child is qualified for the position of gatekeeper. I didn't know before that what Xu Zhengchuan said was all evasive words."
Seeing the complex face of the young man without any joy, Shi Tianfu added another sentence, and incidentally explained the reason why his previous attitude was "relatively tough".
He just thought that maybe the young man had too much affection for the Xu family, so he was not happy to see the scene of him "speaking rudely" to the Xu family, but for the time being, he hadn't thought of anything else——
For example, the "Xu Zhengchuan" he said without respect was the father of the handsome young man in front of him, the kind he had born himself.
For another example, the only candidate he said to take over his position as "Gatekeeper", the so-called only son of Xu Zhengchuan, was also the handsome young man in front of him, the one with his real name.
Nodding his head dispensably, Xu Ruilang didn't forget another question, and continued to ask: "How do you know I'm a collateral bloodline, isn't my bloodline strong enough?"
"That's not true. In fact, I can feel that your bloodline has far surpassed most of the Xu family, and it seems to be much stronger than the general bloodline of the direct line..." Shi Tian was also a little puzzled, but he did It can also be justified, "It may be a phenomenon of atavism. It is not surprising that there will occasionally be one or two existences with particularly strong blood in the collateral lineage."
"...Didn't it ever occur to you that I might be a direct bloodline?" Xu Ruilang couldn't bear it any longer, and tried to make it clear.
"I have thought about this possibility."
Sure enough, he knew that it was impossible for a man not to suspect...
"But this may be quickly denied by me."
ha? !
Xu Ruilang's reassuring thoughts only lasted for a moment before it was completely shattered, he was a little unconvinced: "Why, don't I look like a direct descendant? How do I compare with others?!"
The focus is off bro!
"...cough, no, what I mean is, I don't look like a direct descendant of the Xu family?" Xu Ruilang gave a fake cough in embarrassment, and "questioned" again.
"That was not what I meant."
Shi Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt helpless at the "jealous" behavior of the young man in front of him: "It's not that you are any worse than others, but according to the usual practice, once the next generation of the Xu family comes of age, the current head of the Xu family will tell the next generation about the Forgotten World. Especially As a descendant of the direct line, it is necessary to start exercising from an early age, and once an adult, the elders of the clan will guide the awakening of talent, and then start to cultivate."
After such a simple explanation, Shi Tian touched Xu Ruilang's head who was stunned, and said with a fond smile: "You were already an adult when you fell into the forgotten world, but your talent has not been awakened, and body training came later. It just started, so naturally it can't be a direct descendant who has been trained since childhood. Some collateral descendants who are not valued or whose blood is too thin may be like this, so I speculate that you cannot be a direct descendant of the Xu family."
Xu Ruilang, who was defaulted to be "too big to accept the facts", was indeed stunned at this time.
How could he, the authentic and genuine direct descendant of the Xu family, not know that the Xu family still had such an "elite course" cultivated since childhood?After living for more than twenty years, did he live in a dream?
"But Xu Zhengchuan is my father, so I should be his biological son, that's right..."
A murmur came out of Xu Ruilang's mouth, and in the next moment, he felt the hand on his head froze. Not long after, a barely audible, almost unbelievable, erratic voice came from above his head— —
"Who are you talking about, whose son are you?"
The author has something to say: Little Theater:
Xu Ruilang: Dad, I heard that I am not your own?
Father Xu: Nonsense!You are my October... Cough, my wife gave birth to October, and I watched the whole process, how could I make a mistake!
Xu Ruilang: Then why didn't I attend the legendary "elite preschool" in the Xu family?It is said that your own baby must participate in this.
Dad Xu: Be good, don't listen to those messy legends.That kind of preschool is too naive, and the baby is very smart at the beginning, so there is no need to participate in these things.
Xu Ruilang (suddenly realized): So that's the case, then I have to tell my mother, otherwise it will be bad for my mother to continue to misunderstand.
Father Xu (feeling bad): What do you mean, what did your mother misunderstand?
Xu Ruilang (beautiful.gif): Oh, well, my mother misunderstood that you suspected that she was having an affair, that's why she didn't let her child attend Xu's "preschool class"... By the way, I'm packing my luggage now, and I heard that I'm going back to my mother's house a period of time.
Dad Xu (turned pale with shock): You kid is cheating! This is it!Don't say it sooner!You wait for me, I'll deal with you when I come back!Wife, don't rush to leave, just listen to me explain to you...
Running farther and farther to chase his wife.
☆, anger and bet
The moonlight was like water, and in front of the empty Xie family's secret room, the ground was covered with fallen flowers and fallen leaves.And in such a messy scene, the appearance of two men with similar stature standing opposite each other seemed a little nervous.
"Sorry, I couldn't hear clearly just now, can you say it again?" The gentleness remained unchanged, Shi Tian looked at the young man opposite him with a gentle expression, "Whose son do you say you are?"
"Xu Zhengchuan, that's the man who talked to you just now. I'm his son." Xu Ruilang repeated without delay or denial.
"...Ha, the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the family doesn't know the family?"
Shaking his head and holding his forehead, Shi Tian's sigh and chuckle did not make Xu Ruilang relax much, but his nerves became more tense: "Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but you didn't ask at the beginning, so..."
"I know, this matter has nothing to do with you, I guessed wrong."
Even though his mind was in chaos, Shi Tian didn't think about embarrassing him, and he unconsciously excused him both in words and in his heart: "I didn't expect Xu Zhengchuan to play cards so unreasonably. You are enlightened by body forging, and you are not even allowed to participate in the gathering ceremony of direct descendants like this tonight—”
The murmured excuses got faster and faster, and then stopped abruptly at a certain moment!
"Uh, I don't know about these things. Although you said this is a common practice, in fact, before I fell into the world of oblivion, I didn't know that there was such a world..."
Seeing the man who was obviously in a wrong mood, Xu Ruilang was also a little at a loss.He didn't know what he was talking about, he only knew that things had deviated from the preset track, and everything seemed too simple for him.
"I know."
The man interrupted the young man again, muttered in his mouth, and repeated "I know" again.
However, Shi Tian's emotional catharsis only appeared for a moment, and soon, before Xu Ruilang could understand the meaning of the other party's expression, he had restrained all the emotions that were exposed.
"I know everything, it's just a coincidence." Accepting the facts, Shi Tian raised his hand to stop the young man from explaining again, "I know what you mean, I will take care of the Xu family's affairs, Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
"You won't embarrass me, what do you want to do, take back the idea of letting the Xu family choose the gatekeeper?"
Xu Ruilang was also a little annoyed when the successive openings were interrupted.
What does this mean, do you want to say goodbye to him completely?I heard that he is a direct descendant of the Xu family, so do you regret what you did before?Is the enmity between him and the direct descendants of the Xu family really unsolvable?
Oh, I was wrong, in fact Xu Ruilang's "Little Comrade" still thinks too simply, he doesn't have enmity with the Xu family's direct lineage, to be precise, he has enmity with the entire Xu family.It's just that the hatred value attracted by the direct line is greater, relatively speaking, the tolerance for the collateral line is higher, and it is easier to forgive.
"Anyway, I won't let you replace the gatekeeper, you don't have to worry."
Standing with his arms folded, Shi Tian's tone was indifferent, and the expression on his face was the familiar alienation and indifference - just like when they first met.
"I'm not worried, why would I worry about this!" Xu Ruilang gritted his teeth and replied with a smile, even with a slightly grim expression, "You have always planned strategies, I will just listen to you!"
He didn't understand, what did the other party mean by this, and what unsolvable enmity did he have with the Xu family's direct line?Wouldn't it be good for the two of you to discuss it together? If you want to keep everything in your heart and handle it yourself, he thinks how big a heart he has!
"Well, I'll reply to you again. It's getting late, I'll go back first, see you later."
Shi Tian's heart was far less calm than he appeared on the surface. Not only did he not even hear the obviously inappropriate tone of the young man opposite him, but he also nodded slightly after a few casual words without waiting for him. In response, he immediately dispersed.
In a blink of an eye, it disappeared out of thin air.
Ahhhhh!What kind of trouble is this!Speak clearly before leaving!
Seeing Xu Ruilang who left without saying anything, he immediately went crazy!The appearance of exploding in place like that is obviously going crazy.
"Wake up, it's already good enough that people didn't kill you directly, and you still expect to be able to talk to you and have a romantic relationship?"
A cool voice came from behind, and Xu Ruilang, who was so frightened and depressed that he almost turned around in circles, was jolted up, and he "woke up" in an instant.
Turning around quickly, Xu Ruilang swallowed the power in his hand, and subconsciously put on an attacking state: "What... Dad?!"
"Well, it's your father and me."
Nodding calmly, Xu Zhengchuan walked to his son without any guilt, and then continued with the previous topic: "I didn't expect you to know Qianli, and the relationship is not shallow. What about the two years of disappearance?"
Responding sullenly, Xu Ruilang withdrew the power in his palm, completely depressed: "Hiding aside and peeping, it's disrespectful for old people."
"Go, do you say that about your father!" Frowning in disgust, Xu's father retorted plausibly, "That's called deep worry. If it wasn't for worrying about what happened to you, I couldn't explain to your mother, so I wouldn't Force yourself to watch from the sidelines, what's the point of listening to something in the corner?"
If you want to see it, just watch it face to face and ask questions.
"Ah."
After uttering a modal particle with unclear meaning, Xu Ruilang turned his back and squatted down, group, group, closed himself.
After rebutting confidently and going back, Xu Zhengchuan looked at his son's "heavy back" and was a little embarrassed: "I haven't pursued the matter of you running over by yourself, what are you... Forget it, I want to know what to do." Li, I can tell you roughly—”
Uh.
Facing his son who turned abruptly and his eyes were still bright, Xu Qianerkong's father silently added: "It's just for you to study family history. You still have other homework to complete when you go back." .”
I silently reiterated the principle in my heart, and then, with a stern and selfless expression, Xu's father, who was about to tell the "family history", was very principled... He shook out all the old things, um, nothing happened The kind of size.
As if pouring beans into a bamboo tube, he explained everything clearly. Xu Zhengchuan added a comment at the end: "So just now I was really worried about Ganli fighting with you, after all..."
"After all, I am the son of his enemy, and it is said that I have the strongest blood of the enemy's family." With a blank face, Xu Ruilang continued the second half of the sentence.
"Ah, that's pretty much what it means." After shutting his mouth, Father Xu stopped talking.
"...Okay, I get it, this should be something you guys have been trying to keep a secret, right? Is there anything else to say?" Wiping his face, Xu Ruilang forced himself to cheer up and asked casually.
"Basically, it's these things."
Seeing that he was caught by someone by accident, Xu Zhengchuan didn't try to hide anything: "After you go back, you can also tell Xiao Yu and Mu Yang that you don't need to hide it from them. Besides, since you already know The grievances between Qianli and our Xu family's direct line, I hope you will try to keep with him..."
"Shi Tian."
A word popped out suddenly, Xu Ruilang's abrupt utterance stunned Xu Zhengchuan for a moment, and subconsciously let out an "ah".
"The person I know is called Shi Tian, not some Ganli."
After Xu Ruilang reiterated it calmly, he turned around and left with a cold face. The appearance of leaving in a hurry obviously didn't want to continue this topic anymore.
In the same place, father Xu, who was originally in a daze, saw the young man's leaving back completely disappear from sight, but slowly restrained the harmless and kind expression on his face, and replaced it with His face was deep and... cold!
Don't go too far...
……
"Your ancestors imprisoned Senior Shi's lineage in the Forgotten World before, and didn't allow them to come back! It's over, this enmity can be forged, the deadly enmity passed down from your ancestors, it's over... ..."
He punched Gu Yu who was speaking in frustration, and Qi Muyang withdrew his hand without blinking his eyes. Even though the other party was coughing non-stop, he racked his brains and said in relief: "It's okay, Senior Shi doesn't seem to be People who are unreasonable should not vent their anger."
"That's not necessarily true. After all, it's a world feud, cough, cough... murder, you..."
"To shut up!"
Pressing Gu Yu who was unwilling to be lonely again, Qi Muyang glared at the other party fiercely, then turned his gaze back to Xu Ruilang who was silent, and continued to try to comfort: "Well, don't worry about Gu Yu's words, he It’s just that sometimes I don’t think about it…”
"woo woo woo woo!"
You are nothing but brains!The young master wants to cut the mess quickly with a sharp knife, cut the weeds and root out the roots, okay?
Qi Muyang didn't receive the brainwaves that Gu Yu was trying to transmit, and he still tightly covered the other's mouth with his hands, resolutely not allowing anyone to say anything "not brain".It was just an accident, his hand seemed to move up a bit——
Gu Yu struggled even more.
"woo woo woo woo!"
"Don't be noisy! It's best if you don't talk now!"
Without turning his head, he drank a sentence, Qi Muyang cruelly deprived Gu Yu of the right to speak, and then continued to think of comforting words.
And here, Xu Ruilang, who had been in a daze and didn't speak for a long time, accidentally caught a glimpse of Gu Yu who was red-faced and danced non-stop, and he was so blessed that he finally spoke: "Ayang, let go, Ayu is about to be smothered to death by you."
"Ah? Ah! Sorry! I didn't notice..."
Dazed for a moment, Qi Muyang followed Xu Ruilang's gaze and looked at Gu Yu who was about to enter a state of shock beside him, then trembled, and immediately let go.
"..."
Gu Yu, who was only able to "huh" and gasp for breath, was finally able to breathe fresh air, but he couldn't say any "accusations" for the time being. He was holding his chest as if he was about to die, and his outstretched fingers were trembling.
"I know, you want to say that Ayang murdered his brother, and the brotherhood of more than [-] years has been fed to the dog, right? I'll say it for you. You can catch your breath before we talk about it."
He thoughtfully said what the other party wanted to say, and after getting a firm nod, Xu Ruilang turned his head to look at Qi Muyang, who was stuttering at a loss, and said patiently: "You want to say that you didn't do it on purpose, right? Unintentional mistakes, absolutely. Didn't think about murder or anything?"
Another resolute nod, with a grateful look in his eyes, Xu Ruilang solved the "attempted murder" accident by himself, directing and acting alone when both parties were speechless.
"Okay, Ah Yang didn't mean it. He apologized so sincerely. Ah Yu, don't be wronged and angry."
"Ayang, this time it was an accident, you have to be more careful next time. You are not as strong as before, you know that it is easy to cause problems if you are not careful?"
After lightly resolving the "grievances" between the two parties, Xu Ruilang's mood finally became a little more lively: "Okay, I'm here this time mainly to explain the matter of seniors to you. By the way, I may I will replace Senior Shi and take over the position of gatekeeper. It will not be so easy to meet in the future, I hope you will come to see me more, I will look forward to your arrival."
After finally recovering his breath, Gu Yu took a look at Qi Muyang, who bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and then wanted to hold back a bit, and strive for greater "compensation", but suddenly heard the news announced by Xu Ruilang, and he was immediately surprised: "Wait! How did you become the gatekeeper? Didn't Senior Shi say that he wouldn't let you..."
"That's what he said, I didn't agree." Xu Ruilang said lightly.
"If you didn't agree, then you are going to take over his position! Why, you don't want to stay here, are you willing to give up everything in this world, including us?" Gu Yu couldn't care less about "competing" with Qi Muyang Yes, asked repeatedly.
"I just want to be as fair as possible."
"There is no such thing as fairness!"
Qi Muyang couldn't help it anymore: "Senior Shi has already said that if nothing happens, you are the most likely to take over his seat. You still can't think about it and insist on talking about fairness! The fair result is that you will be selected 100%!"
"Then choose, I don't care." Xu Ruilang lowered his eyes, his tone was still calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"you!"
Gu Yu waved his hands angrily, and was blocked by these words: "Why are you so stubborn! You don't want to be for Senior Shi, why would you sacrifice so much for one person!"
"It's not just for him, it's mainly... Forget it, you can just treat me as self-redemption."
Raising his head and then lowering it, Xu Ruilang opened his mouth and still didn't say anything, as if he was letting it go and would not speak no matter how anyone guessed.
What can he say, saying that he feels sorry for his father because of his father's affairs?Feeling guilty and in need of atonement?
Ah, these are still too fake.
It is true that he felt that his ancestors could not forgive Shi Tian's lineage. Similarly, what his parents did back then was not normal.The trouble back then not only made Shi Tian trapped in the Forgotten World just like their ancestors because of the messy things agreed upon by their responsibilities, it even forced Shi Tian to further narrow the scope of his activities, trapping him in the forest of confusion For the rest of my life, I couldn't step out of the forest.
However, if this is the only case, he can discuss with others, maybe two people stationed in the forgotten world together, and having a few rotation opportunities from time to time is also a solution.
It's a pity that Shi Tian's appearance of avoiding talking about it at that time, turning around and leaving still left a shadow on him.To put it hypocritically, Xu Ruilang is holding his breath now, just wanting to see how Shi Tian will react when he sees that the replacement is him.
He bet this time!
If he wins, everyone will be happy; if he loses... at worst, he will forget the world and guard his life for the rest of his life!
The author has something to say: The locked chapters are really too difficult to unlock, they are all descriptions above the neck, why did they lock me again (tired to cry)
☆、Ritual restart
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the one-month deadline was approaching.
Xu family.
"Tomorrow the ceremony will start, you and I will go together."
In the quiet study room, Xu Zhengchuan leaned back on the small sofa, flipped through the newspaper in his hand, and suddenly said something casually.
"it is good."
Xu Ruilang, who was also sitting on the sofa, just flipping through various ancient books, also casually gave his reply.
Simply agree, and then, the room returned to silence.
After being silent for a long time, when the night was about to pass in silence like before, Xu Zhengchuan finally spoke again——
He confirmed for the last time: "You really decided, don't you regret it?"
"of course not."
After closing the book, Xu Ruilang raised his head and looked at his father who was only ready to "talk" on the opposite side. After staring fixedly for a while, he smiled: "You don't think I really want to make amends, do you? It must be Gu Yu and the others. I told you. Don’t worry, I’m not that great, I was just joking at the time, and I decided to garrison the Forgotten World after careful consideration.”
Thoughtful shit!He just held his breath and refused to give up, insisting on dying once.
"Really?"
Xu Zhengchuan looked over with suspicion in his eyes, and the moment Xu Ruilang smiled and looked at him, the sharp eyes of the other party suddenly burst into cold light!
At that moment, Xu Zhengchuan's sharp eyes were like the sharpest knife, aiming directly at his son, as if he wanted to look directly at the unspeakable thoughts in the deepest part of his heart.
"...Of course it's true, why should I lie to you?"
After being stunned for a moment, Xu Ruilang quickly came back to his senses.Not only did he not look away, he also raised his eyebrows with a smile, and asked calmly: "Why, you don't agree with my decision? I think my decision is quite impartial and dedicated."
"I said no, would you change your decision?"
Withdrawing his gaze, Xu Zhengchuan's doubts grew deeper, but he didn't show it on his face: "I didn't tell you about your mother, but after tomorrow, even if I don't tell you
