"Yun Xiao, let me ask you a question that may be rude." Yun Che looked at Yun Xiao and said seriously: "Do you usually meet Qimei in this way of private meetings?"
"Ah..." Yun Xiao was caught off guard by the question, his face showed embarrassment, and then he became sad again. He sighed and said: "You have also seen that the Tianxia family looks down on me at all, and Qimei is the only one in the world.
The only princess of the clan is the most noble pearl of the entire elven clan. They felt that I was not worthy of Qimei at all. If Qimei was really with me, it would even ruin the reputation of their entire family. At first, they objected fiercely.
But Qimei's temperament is also quite stubborn, and they later strictly prohibited contact with me and Qimei. It became increasingly difficult for Qimei and I to meet. In the past year, we only secretly met three times.
Every time, we have to leave the city at least fifty miles away to avoid being discovered... In less than three months, it will be the centenary ceremony of the Little Demon Queen's reign. The Twelve Guardian Families are all busy with this, and Seventh Sister and I have just arrived.
I finally found an opportunity to meet each other, but I didn’t expect..."
Yun Che raised his hand to support his chin and said while thinking: "Besides the two of you, is there anyone else who knows about your meeting with Seventh Sister... or has seen it?"
"No, definitely not." Yun Xiao shook his head firmly: "I definitely don't dare to let anyone know, because not only the Tianxia family, but also my own family do not think highly of me and Qimei at all, and even secretly
Li Xiaoxiao, even if I don't care about myself, I still have to take care of Qimei, and I will definitely not let anyone know. Qimei will definitely not tell anyone else."
"You and Seventh Sister were attacked, and the other party kept making complete cover-ups, and the target was extremely clear. It was obvious that they were well prepared." Yun Che said slowly: "If I hadn't known in advance where you would meet,
, you are not so well prepared at all... Since you are so sure that only the two of you know about this matter, then the most likely possibility is... when you were transmitting a message to Qimei, someone nearby heard it. Just like Qi.
Sister, the message you gave her was heard by her sixth brother."
"Ah?" Yun Xiao was startled, and then shook his head even more vigorously: "This is even more impossible. I was in my own yard when I transmitted the message, so it shouldn't be heard by others. Even if it was heard secretly,
Yeah, that could only be someone from our Yun family... We, the Yun family, have never had any big grievances with the Tianxia family, and in the current low state, we absolutely don’t want to offend any family. How could we do such a thing?
.And although those three men in black all hide their mysterious skills, I can still easily recognize them if they are practicing our Yun family’s mysterious skills."
"..." Yun Che nodded, remained silent for a while, thoughtfully, and then said with a relaxed expression: "Maybe... Forget it, don't think about it now, the Tianxia family must be more concerned about it than us.
There are many. Let them check it out."
"However, my bigger question is... Yun Xiao, although the Yun family is currently in serious decline, it was at least once prosperous and still belongs to the twelve guardian families. And you are at least nominally the young head of the Yun family.
, in terms of such family backgrounds and status, you and Qimei are clearly matched, oh no! You should be one point higher than Qimei. Taking a step back, even if your father is not the head of the family, but an ordinary
Elders, they wouldn’t oppose it so violently...it even escalated to the issue of family honor."
Yun Xiao's face suddenly stiffened.
Yun Che glanced at Yun Xiao's expression and continued: "In addition, even your Yun family's attitude towards you is a bit too unusual. Just like the Yun Hao before, he was not only disrespectful to you, he was also full of words.
It's ironic and humiliating, but looking at you, you seem to be used to this kind of treatment... Regardless of your identity as the young head of the family, at least your grandfather is still the head of the Mu family. You shouldn't be in the Yun family at all.
Being reduced to this situation...is there any hidden secret in this?"
Yun Xiao paused for a moment and lowered his head, with deep bitterness on his face.
Yun Che smiled apologetically: "I seem to have asked questions that I shouldn't have asked... I'm sorry, don't take it to heart."
"No," Yun Xiao slowly shook his head. When he raised his head, his face was calm enough: "Anyone else would find it strange to see my usual situation. In fact, all kinds of rumors about me,
Almost everyone in Demon King City knows that, Brother Yun, you saved my life and treated me as a friend. There is no need for me to hide anything from you. The reason why I am disliked by everyone is... because I have been around since I was a child.
When I grow up, in other people's words, I am just a 'picked-up bastard'."
Yun Che looked sideways: "What do you mean?"
Yun Xiao laughed miserably: "The Yun family is proud of it, and the core ability that ranked first among the twelve guardian families in the past is the unique power of Xuan Gang. But the Xuan Gang mark can never light up on my arm. In my case,
Even after Xuan Li reaches the Tian Xuan realm, he still cannot awaken Xuan Gang."
"In the Yun family, as long as you are guided by the power of blood, you can light up the Xuangang mark on your arm at the age of five, and then based on the color of the Xuangang mark, you can judge your talent and whether you need to focus on cultivating it. After your Xuanli reaches the Tianxuan realm,
, Xuangang will awaken and can be summoned from then on. This is the power of the Yun family’s bloodline. As long as there is the bloodline of the Yun family, there will definitely be the power of Xuangang... There are never exceptions."
"But I never did. And this clearly proves that I don't have the blood of the Yun family... In the understanding of the Yun family, the entire Demon Imperial City, and even the Illusory Demon Realm, this is ironclad proof.
"
Yun Che: "..."
"The news that I don't have the Xuangang Seal was spread to everyone in the city when I was five years old. Later, I couldn't summon Xuangang in the Tianxuan realm, and it was even more widely publicized.
At that time, the entire Demon Emperor City was spreading rumors that I was not my parents' son... and the most serious thing was that when I was young, my parents brought me back from Tianxuan Continent... Both the Demon Emperor and the little Demon Emperor died in the sky.
In the hands of people from Xuan Continent, the Demon Emperor's Seal and the Mirror of Reincarnation were also lost due to the invasion of Tianxuan Continent. Demon Emperor City has always hated Tianxuan Continent. I, the 'bastard from Tianxuan Continent', have come to
Everywhere, it will lead to cold looks, contempt, even insult and hatred..."
Yun Xiao didn't say any more. Yun Che listened silently. He could feel how Yun Xiao had come through these years... Before he was sixteen years old, he had been ridiculed and scorned by others because of his disabled profound veins.
However, Yun Xiao was even more unbearable than him, and the things he endured were much heavier than him...
Therefore, he knew very well what Yun Xiao's state of mind must be these years... Both of them are people who have been teased by fate.
There is no reason for the Illusory Demon Realm not to hate Tianxuan Continent. Yun Xiao, a person who most likely belongs to Tianxuan Continent, how can he be treated by the people here... Even if he bears the name of the young master of the Yun family, he is so dignified in the world.
How could the family be willing to marry the only princess to such a person? It is indeed not just a matter of status, but also involves the family's reputation and dignity...
Perhaps, if it weren't for the Yun family, the matter of Yunxiao's bloodline could have been concealed, but it was the Yun family... Xuan Gang is irrefutable evidence.
"Your parents...are they good to you?" Yun Che asked slowly.
"My parents are very good to me." Yun Xiao nodded lightly, with warmth flashing in his eyes: "Because of Xuan Gang, even I deeply doubted my own bloodline, but my parents said that I am their biological son.
They have never acknowledged the overwhelming doubts, and have loved and cared for me since I was a child, never willing to let me suffer the slightest injustice. Otherwise, with the hatred of Demon Imperial City towards Tianxuan Continent, I might not be alive today.
.”
"So, for the sake of your parents, you practice hard and are willing to silently endure all criticism and unfair treatment without ever resisting?" Yun Che said.
Number Seven Under Heaven once said that Yun Xiao has not received many resources since he was a child, but with ordinary qualifications and limited resources, he cultivated to half-step Hexuan at the age of twenty-two! This is in Tianxuan
The Seven Kingdoms is already the top achievement, even surpassing Feng Xiluo, who was once called the number one among the younger generation of the Seven Kingdoms!
One can imagine how hard he has worked in cultivation over the years...or rather, desperately.
"Yes." Yun Xiao nodded slightly, gritted his teeth slightly and said, "I am the grandson of the Demon King, the son of Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou... I will never embarrass them, let alone cause them trouble.
In the future, if we are really in a difficult moment, I will use my strength to protect my parents even if I risk my life!"
Speaking of this, he noticed something strange in Yun Che's eyes. His expression froze and he said anxiously: "Brother Yun, will you also look down on me because of this...?"
"Of course not." Yun Che shook his head without any hesitation: "On the contrary, I admire you even more. Even... I should really be grateful to you."
"Ah? Thank me?" Yun Xiao was stunned.
"Haha," Yun Che smiled cheerfully: "Put your hand on Yun Xiao's shoulder. Yun Xiao, how about we become sworn brothers after meeting Senior Yun?"
"Ah...ahhhh?" Yun Xiao opened his mouth wide, with a look of disbelief on his face: "We are...sworn brothers? Me, me, me...me and...brother Yun?"
"That's right." Yun Che smiled and said, "Okay, I suddenly said this, which is indeed a bit abrupt. If you don't want to, just forget it for now."
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" Yun Xiao waved his hands hurriedly, stuttering in excitement: "This, this... Brother Yun is so powerful, and I... you have also seen and heard that I simply... I
How can such a person deserve to be with Brother Yun..."
"So, you also think that you are not worthy of Seventh Sister?" Yun Che interrupted him.
"I……"
"Don't belittle yourself." Yun Che patted his shoulder, his eyes firm and sincere: "You are worthy of being the seventh sister, worthy of being the young head of the Yun family, and even more worthy of being sworn brothers with me. In recent years, many things have happened
, you are carrying it silently alone. After we become sworn friends, we will naturally have to face difficulties together. I will fight with you in everything. If you want to be with Qimei, I will help you work hard together.
If you want to protect your parents, I will protect them together with you. If someone bullies you or your parents again... I will collect the old and new debts for you!"
Yun Xiao's eyes were turbulent, and his emotions were throbbing for a long time. He could not calm down for a long time. He grew up all the way, and lived in the strange eyes of others every day. It sounded like a noble status, but let alone the young masters of other families, even the servants of the Yun family
, were unwilling to get close to him. Yun Che's words and firm eyes undoubtedly had a huge impact on his soul. As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice became choked: "Brother Yun, I..."
Yun Che knew that after all, it was the first day he and Yun Xiao met each other. Anyone who suddenly said these words would find it difficult to digest them. He smiled and said: "Take me to see Senior Yun first, and the rest
