The early morning sunlight filtered through the orange curtains and finally hit Su Xingchi's plain white face. He yawned slightly, typed out the last few strings of codes, and clicked to save.
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to truly...live?"
Unexpectedly, such a pop-up box popped up on the desktop. As a senior programmer and otaku, Su Xingchi burst into laughter, reached out and clicked NO, and then pressed the power off button.
"I don't think about it yet, brother." Su Xingchi muttered to himself, pushed the chair away, and prepared to go back to sleep.
However, this was Su Xingchi's last action.
…
…
When Su Xingchi woke up, he found that he was lying on the bed. The ceiling was an unfamiliar but rich pale gold color, high and majestic.
It seemed like just a moment passed. He clearly remembered that he had just pushed the chair away at that moment, but the next moment he was already lying on the bed. Su Xingchi sighed, but he clearly heard his own sigh being soft and delicate.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to kick off the quilt and stand up. Then he found that the quilt on his body was heavy and thick, and he was unable to kick it off at all.
Su Xingchi felt great fear in his heart. He put his hand to his face and shook it. Then with a wry smile, he put his hand between his legs to confirm, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Asshole—I clearly said NO, right?"
The words that came out of my mouth were just a meaningless string of ya ya yi yi.
Former programmer Su Xingchi, now an unknown baby Su Xingchi, truly understood at that moment that his life had completely changed.
At the end of summer in the 14th year of God's Blessing, the seventh prince of the Ste Empire suddenly stopped crying. He was able to walk in ten days and could speak in another ten days. God Blessed the Emperor and gave him the name Che, which means transparent and transparent.
Su Xingchi, who was already named Xi Che, began to learn the writing, language, history and humanities of this new world step by step. Fortunately, he was born in an imperial family, and he was fortunate enough to be born as a child. He did not need to worry about the troubles caused by precocious wisdom and ignorance, just because of this. There are too many extraordinary geniuses in the world, just because babies, like him, know nothing about the world and need to be taught little by little by the humans in this world.
The God-blessed Emperor has many heirs, but Xiche is not conspicuous among them. It is not surprising that he can walk and speak at one year old. It is surprising that he has made such a leap in just twenty days. It is like a revelation from the apocalypse. What is even more commendable is that, From then on, Xiche never cried again, and he was even more loved by Emperor Tianqi. It's just that the time of a child is always so boring and long, so Xiche often begged his personal eunuch to read classics for him. The eunuch was surprised and informed his majesty, and Emperor Tianqi asked one of his attendants to read for Xiche.
At this time, the baby named Xi Che met Xing Xi, the most special princess in the Royal Palace.
Not only because she is the only member of the royal family who is listening to the reading, not only because she is the great-granddaughter who is most favored by her ancestors, not even because she can walk through the entire Stern Palace since she can walk. Into a deserted place.
Just because of her appearance.
Any clan member Xi Che saw, whether it was his ancestor who was hundreds of years old and his hair had faded, or his endlessly majestic and cold father, or even the brothers and sisters he occasionally glimpsed around him, had no trace of anything. The exceptions are all the same bizarre physical signs.
He has blond hair and golden eyes, and calls himself the Xiguang clan.
This girl, who is honored as a princess, has very conspicuous long silver hair, and her skin is obviously much fairer than that of ordinary people. Only her eyes are the same pure gold as Xi Che.
How could Xiche not know that she was a mixed race.
Of course, a more direct term is hybrid.
In just a few years in the clan, he has clearly understood how ancient and proud his clan is. The birth of such a silver-haired baby into the Xiguang clan is just like the British queen giving birth to a black baby in the previous life. Descendants of skin.
What's strange is that this girl is not only safe and sound, but also has a respected status.
More importantly, she taught Xi Che the true definition of genius.
She was the first person to ask others to study for her, and Xiche was just taking advantage of her.
However, what makes Xi Che even more crazy is that this girl with an extremely delicate face is half a year younger than herself.
Xi Che, who has been a man for two generations, can't help but feel ashamed because of her.
But the only thing that exceeded Xi Che's expectation was that this girl with a strange bloodline and great talent, instead of being noble and cool, had an unexpectedly charming and naive personality.
She would sit upright and fall asleep in front of the upright attendant, and even after falling asleep, she could clearly memorize the poems that the attendant had read. The maids who were leisurely reading would bring fruit and cakes to her, and she would also order a piece of cake for her. Putao's gap is to please Xiche, and he is not at all proud of having a crushing talent.
So Xiche successfully obtained the title of elder brother by virtue of his age advantage of half a year, and then borrowed his authority to ask her the secret of listening to books while sleeping.
The trick is simple, it just makes Xi Che feel pain in his bones.
Without him, just half asleep and half awake.
Xi Che's knowledge of two generations of human beings told him that the Xiao Nizi in front of him was probably a monster with the left and right halves of his head functioning independently, but on the surface, he still forced a smile and said that was the case.
Xing Xi was the first being to completely shatter Xi Che's self-confidence as a time traveler, but this heaven-defying monster that only existed in theory also became Xi Che's younger sister.
After Xi Che's questioning of the personal eunuch, he finally found out that this cheap sister was actually his sister, because her mother turned out to be his biological aunt, that is, his father's sister. But regarding the identity of her father, the personal eunuch remained silent.
After a year and a half of listening to books, when Xiche was three years old, under his father's order, he finally started practicing martial arts.
However, for the Xiguang clan, practicing martial arts is a practice in a broad sense, because their practice method is unique in the world.
In the process, Xing Xi completely knocked Xi Che's confidence to the bottom.
When Xi Che was three and a half years old, his ancestor who was almost the same age as the empire finally passed away. During that funeral, Xi Che saw that the whole world was almost covered in gold. He never thought that he still had so much left. The tribesmen, and countless tribesmen as far as the eye could see, all knelt down and worshiped the old woman's coffin. His father, the most noble father in the world, stood at the forefront, but there were actually several people standing side by side with his father. .
Xi Che, who was only three and a half years old, naturally didn't know what this meant, but Su Xingchi, who was twenty-three years old, only felt shuddering.
When the old woman who, although not the emperor, looked coldly at every descendant on the throne finally passed away, Xi Che began to slowly feel the changes around her.
The most direct change is that Xingxi can no longer go through the many palace restrictions to come to her to play with him as usual. She has lost the favor of her ancestors. Dazzling colors.
The second change is that the standards of instructors during martial arts training are becoming more and more stringent. In the past, there were only one-tenth of the number of unqualified students, but now it has become one-tenth of the number of qualified students. And around those tall instructors, Some mysterious hooded robes also began to stand.
Only by working hard can Xiche squeeze into the one-tenth, because he is keen and vaguely aware that this one-tenth may really change his destiny.
What's strange is that Xing Xi never showed up at the martial arts training venue even once, even though the girl was undoubtedly the first every time.
Xiche couldn't be sure whether she had been booked as one of the candidates or whether she was deliberately excluded from the selection. That girl with outstanding talent but ignorant personality probably didn't know what the ancestor who had been standing behind her meant. , only Xi Che understood that this palace was no longer her hometown.
It took some effort for Xi Che to see the girl next to the attendant again. To his surprise, there was nothing unusual about her expression or the snacks and fruits she enjoyed during class. Xi Che couldn't feel relieved. He vaguely mentioned the special changes in the martial arts arena recently, hoping to attract her attention.
In the bottom of Xi Che's heart, he wanted to impress his talented sister with her skills again, but for some reason, he felt uneasy and did not actively encourage her to do so.
On the contrary, Xing Xi looked tired and only said, "Grandma won't let me go out." Then, with wide eyes, she asked Xi Che, "Are you in there?"
Xi Che was not happy to be questioned by Xing Xi. Although he was among the youngest in the group like Xing Xi, and although his talent was far less than that of Xing Xi, he had been born in two lifetimes and had this kind of attitude. His body itself is quite talented, and he is on par with the elites of the tribe who are older than him after half a year. Although he has put in a lot of effort, it is far from impossible.
Xing Xi winced at Xi Che's glare, then she took off a set of magatama from her wrist with a smile and showed it to Xi Che as if to please.
Xiche took it and took a look. It turned out to be a pair of green magatama, with yin and yang connected like fish. Although Xiche didn't know much about jade, he knew clearly that the jade he could see here was extraordinary. After playing with it, he wanted to He sent it back, but Xingxi reached out first, grabbed one from his palm and showed it to him. Only then did he realize that Xingxi was actually going to give one to him.
Xing Xi was overjoyed when she saw Xi Che accept it. Then she couldn't help but hugged Xi Che and nibbled on his forehead. Then she took two steps back, waved her hand and walked towards her residence.
Even though Xi Che was a man of two generations, he couldn't help but blush when he was kissed by Xing Xi so suddenly. He rubbed the saliva on his forehead, then smiled and looked at the blue magatama in his hand.
But he never thought that this would be the last time he would see this girl in this palace.
In a rally not long after, Emperor Tianyou announced in public that he would cooperate with the Xingche clan. Among them, the two clans jointly cultivated elite children as the top priority of the cooperation. Among the Os royal family, the twelve most talented people will As a representative, he will go to the ancestral land of the Xingche clan to receive joint training.
In that gathering, Xiche listened to his father read out his name word by word, and at the end, he did not hear the word "Che", which he called "transparent".
In that gathering, those mysterious people who had been wearing hoods and robes finally took off their robes. These mysterious foreigners, without exception, all had long silver hair and eyes.
As for the mysterious man at the head, he was always holding a small palm in his hand.
Xing Xi, who had silver hair and golden eyes, stood beside him with an indifferent expression, not looking away. Xi Che looked at her profile, but never waited for her to look back.
Meet each other, meet each other, only when we see each other can we meet each other.
From that day on, the stars shone brightly, and we never saw each other again.
From then on, time passed by. If he were an ordinary boy, no one would remember that he had such a talented companion when he was three or four years old. However, Xiche was not an ordinary boy after all.
He has always treasured the magatama that Xingxi gave him before parting. Although he doesn't know what role Xingxi played in that strange selection, and he doesn't know why his name was deleted from the list in the end. Except, he always believed that with Xingxi's talent and qualifications, she would definitely be the most powerful and terrifying among the elites known as geniuses when she returned to her true people.
He was just waiting to reunite with that girl, and on the day of reunion, he could proudly tell her that he had always followed her and never strayed far away.
So since that day, Xi Che's cultivation level has been improving day by day. It happens once in ten years and once in a hundred years. In the end, he is finally called a genius who can rival the original emperor once in five hundred years.
At that time, he was finally qualified to contact those long-dusted cases.
Then he found out the plan for that selection eleven years ago
Until this moment, he didn't know the name of the plan.
Weapons plan.
According to subsequent records, more than 20 elites, including twelve members of the Xiguang clan, are being lost at an extremely fast rate every year, and eleven years later, there are only seven survivors.
Xingxi was impressively on the list, ranking first.
Later, he found the original record of that selection, and it felt like he was struck by lightning after reading it.
Then, he went straight to find his father, the man who started this plan.
The majestic and indifferent man still stood high on the throne of thorns, calmly watching his son who had passed several levels in succession, and asked calmly: "Do you know?"
Xiche nodded, then sneered: "You are worthy of being an emperor."
"You haven't shown your talent at that time. Twelve sons like you can't match the talent of half a Xingxi. If I can ascend the throne, I won't be unable to let go of several children."
Xiche smiled sadly: "It's amazing to see such an imperial family."
"But how could such a young girl at that time convince you that you were willing to replace a son with twelve girls who are not even half as good as each other?"
Emperor Tianyou smiled, and this indifferent man smiled like a lion: "She just made me believe that if she went there, she would definitely be a hundred times better than this useless son of yours."
Xiche calmly knelt down, kowtowed three times to his father, and then stood up: "Thank you for your teachings."
Emperor Tianyou calmly accepted his son's kneeling, and then smiled in a low voice: "You want to leave?"
Xiche didn't answer, threw his head back, laughed, and went out.
In the twenty-eighth year of God's blessing, Xiche went on a long trip to the country and did not return for a long time.
At the end of the twenty-eighth year of Tianyou, Emperor Tianyou died, and his younger brother succeeded him. His reign was named Qingli, and all the descendants of Emperor Tianyou were killed.
This is how the whole story was recorded in that dusty book.
"The Emperor took pity on Xing Xi, and kept him in the palace. Xing Xi stayed there for several days, and finally broke out one day, entered the martial arts field, and defeated everyone in the field. Xing Che made a surprise, and said: :I know what you are asking for, could you please give me in my place?"
I would like to replace it with the rest.
It wasn't until that moment that Xi Che realized that the cute and lazy girl had been informed of the truth about the selection from the beginning and had been watching it all with cold eyes.
Xi Che, who had lived in two lifetimes, was not even as clear-minded and clear-minded as a three-year-old girl at that time.
Then, she died in the trial of human sacrifice to refine weapons.
There is no more starlight in the world, and only one weapon remains.
In the second year of Qingli, the weapons project came to an end. The girl with silver hair and golden eyes calmly walked out of the frozen stone room, with only snowflakes flying in the wind behind her, which was ankle-deep.
There were twenty-seven people in the weapons project, but only one remained.
