The Evernight Villa in the East China Sea has a huge industry. Compared with power structures such as sects, gangs and even semi-independent city-states, the model of the Evernight Villa is not unique. However, with the inheritance of one surname, it can operate for several generations and even ranks among the nine major sects. But it is not easy.
In the martial arts world, clan-based sects are not the mainstream. Everyone knows the reason - because the martial arts world is a very tolerant place. As long as your martial arts skills are high enough, you will always find a position that suits you. In a sense, the concept of clan is contrary to this high degree of freedom, because even if you are extremely capable, it is impossible for others to leave such a large clan in the hands of a person with a foreign surname.
Suppose you are a young genius with excellent martial arts skills and outstanding reputation, but because of your limited background, you will never be able to compare with the eldest young master in the sect who is just waiting to die. In the future, when he becomes the leader of the sect, you will not be able to even get along with the third and fourth sons. Yes, you are obviously the one who takes care of everything inside and outside the sect, but you still want to be a lowly person for him. When he needs you, he tells you "treat the sect as your own home". I see that you are unhappy. From time to time, he would stab you with words: "Do you really think this is your home?"
Just reading this description, do you feel like your heart is burning with nameless karma?
It's okay to be angry, because this is how Huangfu Rang feels, and his experience is even more bloody than the above paragraph...
Some people will definitely be curious, then Huangfu Rang is not an outsider, right? Wasn't Evernight Villa founded by the descendants of the Huangfu family?
As for the surname, although he is not an outsider and has been included in the family tree, but in terms of blood, it can be said that he has not even the slightest relationship with the Huangfu family.
Then we have to go back at least thirty years to Huangfu Rang's life.
His biological father’s surname was Ao, with the character for tiger in his name. Ao Hu’s father was not only one of the best masters in Evernight Villa, he also served as the chief steward of the Huangfu family. Therefore, Ao Hu and Huangfu Chuiyun, who were similar in age, became They are very good playmates. They eat, drink and sleep together. Their martial arts skills are equally matched. Their life paths can be seen almost at a glance - Huangfu Chuiyun will take over the villa and Ao Hu will become his. 's right-hand man.
Ao Hu is not a person who pursues fame. When he was very young, his surroundings, including himself, had implanted the idea that "he will assist his good brothers in the future." In fact, this idea is understandable, because not everyone They are all suitable to be the boss; and Huangfu Chuiyun is a typical young man with three good backgrounds, good martial arts, great ambitions, and a born leader.
The reasons for the quarrel between two men who are brothers are often very simple. There are generally only two types, one is related to ideals and beliefs, and the other is because of women. Huangfu Chuiyun and Ao Hu... are no different.
The two brothers unfortunately fell in love with the same girl. Although both brothers are very good, in terms of overall strength, it is definitely better to be the woman of the eldest brother Huangfu Chuiyun. Ao Hu is the second brother at the highest level, and the son of this second brother may not be able to become the second brother.
But the reason why the girl finally chose to marry Ao Hu was also very simple - Ao Hu could better accompany her. Huangfu Chuiyun had been very ambitious since he was a child. When he officially participated in the important affairs of the villa and expanded the industry until his career was on the right track, In the past few years, how can you devote your energy to love? Although Ao Hu was also a capable assistant, at that time, the old village owner was old and strong, and the young village owner had little ambition, so it was his turn to take the lead. Therefore, he has more leisure time and takes care of the girl a lot.
This does not prove who is right or wrong between the two brothers, who is a gentleman and who is a villain. It can only say that their life choices and goals are different. If Huangfu Chuiyun at that time had to choose ten thousand times, he would choose career, but this girl's A frown and a smile combined into a puddle of regret.
After congratulating his brother on his wedding with quite complicated emotions, Huangfu Chuiyun stopped thinking about this incident and focused on the development of the Villa, until the Night Villa later entered into a relationship with another sect. They fought, and the other side sent a killer to assassinate them. In the end, Ao Hu risked his life to save the two brothers. Since then, the two brothers have been separated from each other. At this time, "Huangfu Rang" had been born for half a year, but at that time he was still called Ao Rang.
But then, Huangfu Chuiyun made a move that he might regret for the rest of his life - because the Ao family was in charge of internal affairs for the Huangfu family, the Ao Hu family had been living in Huangfu's house. Over time, rumors and rumors grew. Some people even say that Huangfu Chuiyun deliberately killed his brother because of his adultery with this woman. And Huangfu Chuiyun couldn't help but get hot-headed, and since he couldn't stop others from talking, he just kept doing nothing. After the dispute over the owner of the village came to an end, he immediately married Ao Hu's widow, and Ao Rang also He was adopted into his lap and his surname was changed to Huangfu.
To be fair, this matter... Huangfu Chuiyun did something wrong. No matter from the perspective of kindness or ethics, he should not ask to marry his sister-in-law. Even if he married, at least he should not change his child's surname. But Huangfu at the time Chuiyun felt uncomfortable with the name Ao Rang - Ao Rang, as if widows remarried nowadays were "given". There was always a yin and yang atmosphere mixed in, especially since a large part of the scandal was about The conspiracy theories and over-interpretation of the child's name further contributed to the thorn in Huangfu Chuiyun's heart.
After Huangfu gave birth to his half-brother, Huangfu Chuiyun also named the child Huangfu Yu out of anger. The homophone is "Yu", which quite implies that it was Huangfu Chuiyun who gave Ao Hu a chance. .
Then, there is the story of the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation being inherited by the next generation.
The brothers Huangfu Rang and Huangfu Yu did not fall in love with the same woman. The grudge between them came from the first reason.
In terms of personality, Huangfu Rang is not only more like his stepfather Huangfu Chuiyun, but even more so. In terms of ability, it is Huangfu Rang who is even better. On the other hand, Huangfu Yu has a dull personality and mediocre intelligence - but since then After the incident, Huangfu Chuiyun's mentality had completely changed, and he even fell into a strange circle. The better Huangfu Rang was, the less he liked him - as if Ao Hu's undead secretly provoked him, They are both born from the same mother, so Ao Hu’s seed is better than Huangfu Chuiyun’s? Coupled with the fact that he hasn't wiped his butt completely yet, wouldn't it mean that others would poke his spine to prove that Ao Hu and his wife were a match made in heaven?
If the last decision might have made him regret it for the rest of his life, then he was determined to make this decision without any regrets - when it came to choosing the position of the village owner's heir, Huangfu Chuiyun even considered the children born to his concubines. After careful consideration and comparison with Huangfu Yu, Huangfu Rang was eliminated without even a moment's hesitation - but on the surface, he still mentioned Huangfu Rang's name, but few members of the Huangfu family supported him.
Huangfu Rang's feeling of having nameless karma in his heart and having half a dead fly in his meal... came from here. In fact, he also did some psychological construction for himself when he knew his life experience. Since Huangfu Chuiyun had never treated him materially, then even if he didn't like himself in his heart, let his younger brother inherit the name of the village owner and pass it on to him. Sun Tzu, I can accept the result of taking control of the village owner and displaying my talents.
But what really made him feel crushed was that he saw the distrust and disapproval of an outsider in the eyes of the Huangfu tribe. This was an extreme irony and denial of his great contributions over the years, and Huangfu Chuiyun, a strong man throughout his life, , Radical people who are no different from themselves have taken a suppressive attitude towards their own ambitions in order to pave the way for their own sons.
Therefore, he turned dark, just like Huangfu Chuiyun back then.
Huangfu Chuiyun and the Chamber of Commerce coexisted mutually beneficially, which made the Evernight Villa rank among the nine sects. There was a trend of black and white taking it all. The Chamber of Commerce was also able to gain a foothold in Shengguo, and its business spread all over the world. However, Huangfu let this person and Huangfu Chuiyun How can there be any difference between the new generation who are very similar? The importance of Evernight Villa to Qi Jun is second to none, and it is on par with the Chamber of Commerce. However, after Huangfu Yu, the "silly goose", came to power, his aggressive trend ceased in an instant, which of course caused dissatisfaction from many parties - Qi Jun was still okay I can understand Huangfu Chuiyun's thoughts, because his own biological father is such a virtuous person, but the Chamber of Commerce doesn't care whether your father and son are biological, they only care about their own business. This also gave Huangfu an opportunity - he cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce inside and outside to clear out the dissidents in the villa, and single-handedly killed his stepfather Huangfu Chuiyun, leaving only Huangfu Yu as a puppet spokesperson - otherwise the world might be based on the brothers' relationship. The fight for status among the remnants inferred the existence of things they should not have known about, and it was also announced to the outside world that Huangfu Chuiyun would no longer be involved in Jianghu affairs after abdicating the throne.
…………
"Hey...why do I think you have inexplicable hatred for me?" Guan Lingxiao's ability to guess other people's emotions has become an instinct, and his ability to recognize people is even better than He Nan's. It was extremely intense, but subconsciously I could read Huangfu Rang's weird emotion.
If Huangfu Rang had hostility towards him from his competitors, he could understand the murderous intention from the exposure of his conspiracy, but this strong hatred was really inexplicable - it was a kind of hatred emanating from the bone marrow. The forces are at odds. Guan Lingxiao even felt that he was not a "person" in front of Huangfu Rang, but some kind of "concept". His move was not only to kill himself, but also to kill some kind of incorporeal existence. .
"Don't you think people like you shouldn't be resented?" Although Huangfu Rang was emotionally intense, he didn't use his full strength, but his answer made people feel even more strange and troubled.
"A person like me? Who am I? Are you jealous of me?" The two of them exchanged palms and each took half a step back, but Guan Lingxiao tasted something again.
The essence of that hatred is a contradictory mixture of jealousy and contempt.
For Huangfu Rang, the source of this evil thought was his conflicting psychology. He was somewhat jealous that Huangfu Yu could easily get what he had worked so hard for because of his blood relationship, and he was also jealous of the fact that Huangfu Yu was "unworthy of him." Feeling contempt, it can even be said to be extreme hatred towards "bloodline", or people's attitude of "valuing bloodline more than ability".
In his eyes, "Guan Lingxiao" is a reincarnation who has mediocre abilities but inherited a huge foundation because of his identity as the eldest son of the leader of the Immortal Alliance. He is the kind of person he envies but despises the most.
Some people may say, since Guan Lingxiao can compete with you on the same stage as the leader of the martial arts alliance, why do you think he has no ability? Aren't you narrow-minded and small-minded? If you have the ability, you can defeat him?
But from Huangfu Rang's own perspective, this is not the case - although Guan Lingxiao is as close to the leader of the martial arts alliance as himself, but look at how he got here along the way? I only fought for less than half a day and had only a few opponents. I relied on speculation to pick the peaches and didn't meet any decent masters. In the first match, my opponent was Suharaga, whom I was quite familiar with, and his performance was not as good as mine. Nili——In private competition, he defeated the Japanese swordsman completely; Wei Kui in the second game was obviously a fake fight, but any expert can see that there is something fishy in it. How can he deserve to be respected if he made it to the finals in such a muddle?
However, Huangfu Rang finally agreed with Guan Lingxiao's comment that "his abilities are inferior to those of the inferiors", because a thoughtful person can definitely discover some of the truth contained in it to refute Huangfu Rang - you are also the attacker in the arena competition, although There are palms like the Goe Rong Sword, but there are not many of them. No one wants to fight Guan Lingxiao because he has a wide network of friends and is popular. In the first battle, they used swords to fight Suharaga, but you are quick to get close to him. The fists are sharp and the claws are strong, and the long-range arrogance is like a torch, which happened to restrain Suharaga at different distances; the second chamber of commerce was originally arranged for a fake fight, but Shi Xiaowen was inexplicably beaten away by Tamaki, but it was Fifty steps make you laugh at a hundred steps, other people's little actions become your failure.
Of course, these are not actually the most fundamental reasons. They are just "icing on the cake" at best.
Apart from his background, the most important reason why Huangfu Rang hates, hates and looks down on Guan Lingxiao comes from that first impression that is hard to erase.
Back then, when each sect could send out multiple players at the Young Heroes Conference, Night Villa still only allowed Huangfu Yu to show up. Huangfu Rang could only watch these idiots and novices pecking each other on the stage. At that time, The real Guan Lingxiao was eliminated by Huangfu Yu - a stereotyped first impression is of course undesirable, but it is indeed difficult to change. Not to mention that Huangfu allowed this person to have the same strength as Yan Chunlai and Kong Ming, but could only People who watched others fighting fiercely looked down upon him. Even Xiong Youguang, who barely made it to the top eight and was now guarding the gate in Jinguan City, had a look of arrogance when he met Guan Lingxiao for the second time.
A little good-for-nothing who was eliminated by his big-good-for-nothing brother, these two could even form a combination of a tiger father and a dog son, and now they can actually compete with him. Of course Huangfu Rang was very unhappy.
