"It turns out that Lin Xi is a spy sent by Lin Kong. Then why did brother Xia Lin hide it from me? Why didn't he tell me that it's been so long and I didn't know anything about it?"
While he was thinking about this, he suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from outside the house, and he knew it was him coming.
I had already gathered up the courage to ask him about this matter when he came, but now I felt inexplicably guilty when I thought about seeing his majestic face.
Hearing the creak of the door, Yaoli quickly lay down. In a moment of anxiety, he accidentally touched the wound. He quickly held back the pain and pretended to be asleep while holding his hands tightly.
But this move was instantly seen by Nan Jiang who came in. He stood by the bed with his eyes slightly lowered, looking at him calmly, and Yaoli could feel his breath lingering behind him even with his eyes closed.
"Okay, I know you're not sleeping!"
Hearing this, Yaoli, who had his back turned to him, immediately opened his eyes. In such a cool atmosphere, he slowly breathed out.
Nan Jiang, who wanted to reach out subconsciously, finally chose to hold back. He saw Yaoli's pale face and frowning brows, looking like he was deeply worried. It seemed that the injuries caused by the flogging had made him suffer. He suffered a lot of pain. After all, he was afraid of pain the most since he was a child.
Although he once asked him if it hurt, he just said lightly that after being beaten too many times, he got used to the pain and became numb and no longer felt the pain.
But Nan Jiang knew that there was no reason why a blow to him wouldn't hurt. It was just a blow from the person closest to him. Compared with the pain on his body, the pain in his heart was probably the most deadly.
"I have something to ask you."
Seeing the dim and lifeless look in his eyes, Nan Jiang couldn't help but be startled: "Do you blame me for not looking for him these days?"
Then, he turned his back and sat to one side and said, "Before that, I have something to ask you first."
"Oh, tell me."
Nan Jiang thought that his reaction was a bit abnormal. If it were normal, he would not ask at all but just say it directly.
"Why did you suddenly leave without saying goodbye that day?"
"Oh, what can I do if I tell you, go sue my father and ask him to stop me and lock me in the house, or will you accept me as your disciple?"
Yao Li did not raise his eyes to look at her, but said coldly with slightly trembling pupils.
General Nan couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that he lost his temper and ran away because he didn't accept him as his disciple."
At that time, Yaoli's strength did not meet the standards set by Nan Jiang, but the bigger reason was that he should yearn for a bigger and broader world outside and should no longer stay by his side.
No one knows better than him how difficult the training in the Nanjiang Mansion is. For this younger brother who he has watched grow up, he cannot bear to see him not only not having a good childhood when he was young, but also having to... With these hard training.
He may even face the risk of going on the field to kill the enemy in the future. This is what Xia Lin least wants to see happen to him, and it is also his good intention.
"I know I'm not strong enough. You don't have to belittle me anymore, because I'm no longer the Yaoli I used to be!"
General Nan saw that he was still tough-talking, and even though he was now beaten and bruised, he still suppressed the resentment in his heart.
"That's not what I want to say. In fact, you can have a better future. There is no need to stick to this place, which has never brought you happiness."
"I knew a long time ago that you have a unique talent for the study of magic circles, so I invited the most proficient seniors to teach you. The result is as I thought, you are indeed talented in this area. He is so talented and his understanding is far higher than that of ordinary people."
Yao Li couldn't help being startled and looked at him suddenly: "Tell me, my master, was it you who asked me to teach you?"
"Yes, he and my father are friends in times of need. Every time I am born, he will fulfill my father's entrustment before his death and come to see me. And he happens to be an expert with profound insights into magic circles."
"So not long after you left, I inquired about your whereabouts and asked him to enlighten you."
Yao Li frowned slightly: "On your birthday?"
"No wonder I thought the master looked very familiar when I first met him, but I couldn't remember for a moment that I had met him at Brother Xia Lin's birthday party earlier in the morning."
"You also want to leave without saying goodbye after the master has finished teaching me, leaving only a few words. You and I only got to know each other through one person. Now that we are proficient in the magic of the Luomen array, there is no need to bother looking for me again."
Yaoli suddenly woke up as if from a dream: "He thought hard about what the first sentence meant. It turned out that the one person holding him was referring to Brother Xia Lin, and the reason why he was able to learn this skill was because of He secretly held the string!"
He suddenly felt guilty: "Why didn't you tell me about this!"
Nan Jiang Lengran's brows relaxed slightly: "If I had told you then, I'm afraid you wouldn't accept this favor."
"After you disappeared during those days, your father came to see me several times, but I did not tell him your whereabouts. During this period, he never gave up looking for you, but still found nothing, and then gradually gave up."
Yao Li couldn't help but sneered: "Why are you looking for me? I'm afraid your hands are itchy because you haven't hit me for so long!"
"No, he thought you ran away because you couldn't stand his harshness. He felt guilty about this and recalled that he shouldn't have treated you this way."
"When he came here, he said he was sorry for you with red eyes several times and failed to take care of your emotions. I also made it clear to him that you were wrongly accused and whipped by him. He was very sad about this and regretted it. Let me listen to your explanation as to why we are in this situation now."
There were tears in Yao Li's eyes, and he couldn't help feeling sour in his nose: "It turns out that he also knew that he didn't listen to my explanation at the beginning, and he only regarded me as a tool to vent his fear. Did he ever have the slightest bit of fear?" I really got to know his son!"
"Hehehe, he didn't! He didn't have it from beginning to end!"
"I hate him. I hated him before and I hate him just as much today!"
"If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place? What's the use of feeling guilty? What could he use to make up for the pain and injustice I suffered in those years? All of this can no longer be gone back, and I don't want to recognize him anymore. father!"
"It's too late to save everything."
Tears welled up in his eyes at that moment, and there was only a touching sense of weightlessness in his eyes.
General Nan couldn't help but recall the scene when he saw him for the first time when he saw his sad face. He also had the same look, with blood-red scars on his body, kneeling in the ancestral hall, and his tears could not be stopped just like now. Leave.
After a while, I saw Yao Li wiping the tears on his face with a calm expression. Now he has become stronger and will soon be able to heal the wounds in his heart by himself, no longer needing him to enlighten him.
"Sorry, I made my brother laugh!"
"These are just things from the past, I have let them go!"
Xia Lin's expression was very solemn. After staring at him for a moment, she stopped looking at him and listened carefully to his words.
"It's okay, as long as you can let it go."
Yao Li suddenly smiled: "But brother Xia Lin, I also want to thank you for letting me learn what I am most interested in. I misunderstood you before, and I shouldn't have lost my temper with you."
"If it weren't for you back then, I'm afraid the suffering I would have suffered would be unimaginable."
"But at the same time, I feel guilty for you. I used the skills I learned to cause damage to Xicheng. I cannot absolve myself of the blame for this!"
Yao Li endured the pain and suddenly cupped his hands.
Xia Lin stood up and slowly held up his hand: "It's over now, why do we need this between you and me." (End of Chapter)
