.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the corridor became dark.
Xu Xinyao stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar third brother in front of her, with a hint of grievance and confusion in her eyes, and a sense of sadness spread faintly in her heart.
She recalled the image of him calling her a wild bitch with disgust in his eyes, and clenched her fists slightly.
Although she was sad at that time, she was not as suffocated as she is now.
She didn't understand why he thought she would betray her quiet but respectful father.
The white lips moved, and Xu Xinyao subconsciously wanted to deny it, but looking at Xu Yuan's calm eyes, she remained silent for a while, and said with trembling words:
"If Xinyao really did these things, third brother, please kill me directly."
Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes when he heard this and gently rubbed his thumb and index finger.
After a while, he nodded and spit out:
"good."
Xu Xinyao pursed her lips and smiled gently at him, then glanced at the thumb-thick branch that Xu Yuan placed on the ground:
"Third brother, do you want to whip Xinyao?"
"Yes, that's what I thought at first."
Xu Yuan noticed her gaze and casually picked up a branch on the ground and waved it in his hand. The branch whined in the air and looked sideways at her:
"But after talking to you, I don't think it's necessary anymore. Even if I beat you, you won't listen to me. People in our family have this kind of morality and will never change it."
Hearing this, Xu Xinyao subconsciously pictured the third brother being hung from the beam in the imperial capital and being whipped by his eldest brother. A flash of light flashed across her beautiful eyes, and she couldn't help laughing.
But the next moment, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
The third brother's distrust of her and the tragic situation in Shengshan County turned into sharp blades that constantly stirred in her heart.
Xu Yuan looked at her like this and gently stroked the branch in his hand as if stroking a sword:
"The formation you learn has a greater impact on the world than your cultivation. It is a sword. If you use it well, you can save the country and the people. If you use it poorly, it will cause harm for thousands of years.
"You just handed this sword to a person who doesn't know his character this time. I hope you improve your memory. Next time, it may not be as simple as 200,000 people."
"."
After a moment of silence, Xu Xinyao raised her eyes to look at Xu Yuan and whispered:
"Third brother, you'd better fight."
Xu Yuan was speechless and looked at her word by word:
"Do you think that if I hit you, you will feel better now?"
"." Xu Xinyao said nothing.
Xu Yuan was silent for a moment, made a decision in his heart, and stood up holding the branch:
"Kneel down."
Xu Xinyao bit her lip lightly, stood up and knelt down in the direction of Shengshan County.
In silence,
Xu Yuan stood to the side, looked at her straight jade back, and waved violently.
"Snapped!"
The cracking of branches was followed by a loud crack of the whip.
What he slapped was not her back, but Xu Xinyao's jade hand on her lap.
After the whip, a bright red wound appeared on the back of her hand, and blood oozed out.
Xu Yuan used Yuan Qi, and the branches were wrapped in a faint blood light.
Rather than cracking with a whip, it is better to say that he is whipping with his source energy.
The heart-wrenching pain from the whipping hit her heart, and Xu Xinyao's delicate body trembled slightly, but she gritted her teeth and made no sound, still kneeling straight.
"Snapped!"
Then there was a second sound, and a second blood stain appeared below the previous one. The two blood stains were particularly dazzling on the snow-white skin.
Finished, call it a day.
Xu Yuan looked down at the adopted sister in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"I believe that before you reached an agreement with the Wanxiang Sect, you should have done some research on the attitude of the Wanxiang Sect and whether they were trustworthy, but the result is that you saw the wrong person. This is a lesson, because you Those "friends" may also become the second "Wanxiang Sect", knowing people and faces but not their hearts."
"It's my father's wish that you go out for travel. I won't interfere, but I hope you will look at the two scars on the back of your hands before doing anything in the future. If you don't want to see them, you can also use ointment to remove the scars."
Xu Xinyao looked at the wound on the back of her hand, raised her hand to caress it gently, and whispered:
"Well, Xinyao remembered it."
"."
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, turned around, and looked sideways:
"Give you some time to yourself, Ran Qingmo and I are waiting for you at the entrance of the cave."
Before leaving, Xu Yuan vaguely saw the sparkle in her lowered eyes.
As the gentle footsteps gradually walked away, the corridor became silent. After kneeling in a daze for a long time, the girl finally sat on the ground, hugged her knees and sobbed softly.
Walking on the corridor outside, the voice of the saint's remnant soul suddenly sounded:
"Xu boy, your adopted sister is crying."
Xu Yuan looked calm and kept walking:
"I know that she used to be like this. She would hide and cry secretly by herself, so I left early to give her some time to cry."
The remnant soul of the saint was silent for a while after hearing this, and gently shook his head:
"Just looking at you and that boy named Xu Changge, I thought your family were all the same kind of people. I didn't expect that there are people like this girl."
Xu Yuan thought for a while and replied in a low voice:
"She has such a personality, but it's mostly because she was so well protected by her father and Xu Changge. There should be some changes after this time."
The remnant soul of the saint laughed softly:
"To be honest, based on your performance in Qionghua Sect, I always thought that you were the one who took the body, but now it seems that I was wrong. If you were the one who took the body, I wouldn't be so familiar with this girl."
Speaking of this, the remnant soul of the saint changed the subject:
"But, why do I feel that you are so sure that your sister will betray you?"
"Confirmed?"
Xu Yuan threw away the branch in his hand and replied casually: "I was always very sure before, but now I am not so sure, but there are some things that I always have to remind her first."
The remnant soul of the saint was a little curious:
"Why are you determined? Because of your personality?"
"Absolutely." Xu Yuan sighed ambiguously.
After a slight silence, Xu Yuan asked in a low voice:
"Old man Luo, do you think my stepsister's method is likely to be successful?"
The remnant soul of the saint pondered for a moment, and did not answer directly, but laughed in a low voice:
"Oh, actually, there are many merits in your stepsister's behavior, but the premise is that it is a casual move in your father's plan, not the entire plan."
Xu Yuan's eyes were thoughtful: "Tell me and listen."
The remnant soul of the saint shook his head: "It's too late."
Xu Yuandao: "It doesn't matter, I just want to talk and listen."
The remnant soul of the saint thought about it for a moment and said with a smile:
"There will never be a shortage of kind-hearted people in this world, nor a shortage of capable people. If your sworn sister spends more than ten years traveling around the world, the people who come to her and gather around her will really be There will be no shortage of them. Even if one or two useful ones survive among the ten, and they continue to develop in private, this will still be a huge force.
"When they grow up in their respective sects, although they may not be able to hold all the power alone, the internal friction caused will be enough for the sects to drink.
"Of course, it's just a drink, and it's too late now. Your father estimates that he will take action within the next few years."
"."
After Xu Yuan listened carefully, he looked back at the dark corridor and sighed:
"Yeah, it's such a simple truth. I hope she can understand it after hitting the wall a few more times."
