When I opened my eyes, the scorching sun on the horizon had gradually turned dim.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone in from outside the window, rendering everything in the room even more dazzling than when the sun was at its peak.
Dusk envelopes everything in the outside world.
The light was beautiful and brilliant, but it was also indescribably dilapidated and desolate.
Jiang Shangyu was lying on the bed, looking at the dim and dazzling light outside the window, silent, not wanting to move.
It seemed that anesthesia had been injected into the body.
But the severe pain continued to spread throughout his body.
The pain penetrates from the inside out, from the internal organs to the skin. It is like the will of a sword, but it is extremely illusory. When it falls on the person, there is only coldness and destruction.
The severe pain dispelled the confusion after waking up from coma.
Jiang Shangyu felt the pain in his body.
He finally realized his identity.
Today is the final exercise for both houses.
This is his most glorious moment.
In front of the world, he never exposed his heart as a king.
But he showed his martial arts to everyone. He comes from a family that has only risen in recent decades and has extremely average martial arts strength, but now he is qualified to stand alongside Gu Hanshan and Wang Shengxiao.
He will definitely become invincible in the future.
He is also a young genius.
He was very brilliant today, and his starry sky amazed the entire Central Continent.
Can be the same.
He is a loser today.
His light may not fade, but in the face of a true genius, all his glory will dim.
When people mention him in the future, they may still mention the brilliance he shines with today.
But the brilliance is like the dusk outside the window, gorgeous but dilapidated. No matter how dazzling it is, there is still darkness at the end.
That sword intent.
The sword that silenced the world.
It is the eternal light.
Jiang Shangyu's eyes gradually changed.
Various colors intertwined in his pupils, eventually turning into chaotic and complex emotions.
He opened his eyes quietly and lay on the bed, a little dull.
The door was pushed open from outside.
Gu Xingyun, whose face was pale and held up by force, slowly walked into the ward.
Li Xi followed him.
Jiang Shangyu moved his body and tried to struggle to sit up.
"Your health is important, just lie down."
Gu Xingyun smiled and waved his hand: "Your injuries are not serious, but they will not threaten your foundation. However, you must exercise less for some time to come."
He paused for a moment, then continued: "But there won't be too many things happening next."
"yes."
Jiang Shangyu responded, and then said: "Your Highness, madam, how is Hanshan's injury?"
"I'm just like you. From now on, you can recuperate at Sky Academy. After the exercise is over, come back with me."
Gu Xingyun looked at Jiang Shangyu with soft eyes and obvious appreciation: "I informed your father. He was going to come over, but something happened in Northern Xinjiang that he needed to deal with. I will send you back in person then.
Northern Xinjiang.”
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Jiang Shangyu said respectfully.
"No need to thank you."
Gu Xingyun shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm one of you, don't be so polite. You kid, please heal my injury quickly. Qingcheng has been telling me that I want to travel to Northern Xinjiang. After a while, I will
Let her find you, you have to be such a tour guide for Qingcheng, don’t let my daughter be wronged, do you know?"
Jiang Shangyu was stunned for a moment.
His eyes gradually filled with uncontrollable ecstasy, and he subconsciously looked at Li Xi beside Gu Xingyun.
Li Xi's face was expressionless, like a lifeless sculpture, but her eyes quietly softened a little.
She nodded slightly.
Jiang Shangyu took a deep breath, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face no matter what.
The smile kept growing on his face.
Jiang Shangyu looked a little silly in this state.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Qingcheng will never suffer any injustice in Northern Xinjiang."
Jiang Shangyu said solemnly, almost assuringly. His pale face was flushed with excitement, and his expression was solemn, as if he was swearing.
Gu Xingyun smiled softly, nodded, and said meaningfully: "You are good. I am relieved that Qingcheng is by your side."
Jiang Shangyu scratched his head, his smile becoming purer.
"Please pay attention to rest."
Gu Xingyun said: "Don't think too much."
Jiang Shangyu nodded, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, Li Tianlan..."
"Don't worry."
Gu Xingyun's figure paused: "You are all still young. To you, he is indeed very strong now. But when you look back on today in ten or twenty years, you may feel that he is just winning today."
After a drill, the one who laughs to the end is the winner."
Gu Xingyun's figure walked out of the ward.
Jiang Shangyu looked at him and Li Xi's back with dark eyes, but he was thinking about Gu Xingyun's purpose.
This time, what seems like a routine formality contains too much information.
Jiang Shangyu must sort out everything.
He likes Li Qingcheng.
I really like it and have liked it for many years.
Although Li Qingcheng was still very small at that time.
When Jiang Shangyu saw her for the first time, he was very sure that Li Qingcheng should not stay in a place like Kunlun City that looked glorious but hid too much filth.
He knows Phoenix Pavilion.
So he could roughly guess Li Qingcheng's future fate.
In the process of development, the Jiang family has always quietly and cautiously touched certain taboos. The Jiang family understands Kunlun City better than most people.
Three years ago in Tiandu.
When Gongsun Qi and even the Dongcheng family reminded Li Tianlan to be careful about Phoenix Pavilion.
Even earlier.
The Jiang family had already learned through special intelligence channels that Li Xi was going to Tiandu.
This also made Jiang Shangyu confirm some of Gu Xingyun's plans.
Li Xi secretly went to Tiandu, naturally not for state affairs, but for private matters.
But Li Tianlan's background and Li Xi's past made Jiang Shangyu unsure of what step Li Xi would take.
If Li Tianlan had not died, Li Qingcheng was probably the deadly poison prepared by Kunlun City for Li Tianlan.
This is not Li Qingcheng's fate.
But this is the fate of Phoenix Pavilion.
That's why when Jiang Shangyu and Li Tianlan met for the first time in Tiandu, he had almost no concealed murderous intention towards Li Tianlan.
At that time, he was really for a woman.
Or rather a girl.
Gu Xingyun and Li Xi left the ward.
The sound of a door closing sounded.
Jiang Shangyu lay quietly on the bed, thinking about all aspects.
The cooperation between Gu Xingyun, Li Xi, Li Qingcheng, Gu Hanshan, and Li Tianlan, the future of the Three Thousand Realms, the choices the Jiang family has to face, the Wang family in Beihai...
Thousands of threads formed a rough outline in his mind.
Clear outline.
But there are too many possibilities inside the outline.
Too many may mean more choices.
Therefore it is extremely complex.
Jiang Shangyu thought silently and was silent for a long, long time.
The cell phone rang.
Jiang Shangyu took out his mobile phone and pressed the answer button.
"it's me."
On the other end of the phone, the voice of Jiang Shan, the leader of Northern Xinjiang, sounded.
"dad."
Jiang Shangyu shouted with a smile, but his eyes were a little complicated.
The father and son were silent across the phone.
"sorry."
After a long time, Jiang Shangyu said softly: "Today... we lost."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Shan smiled: "You did a good job. A temporary failure is nothing."
Jiang Shangyu wanted to speak, but when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.
After the fall, his strength was pushed from the stable stage of the Thunder Realm to the level of just entering the Thunder Realm. His body became weaker and weaker, but his state of mind became more and more perfect.
He smiled and hummed without saying anything more.
"Don't push yourself too hard."
Jiang Shan sighed softly, Jiang Shangyu was not only his son, but also his greatest pride in this life. This son had almost never let him worry about him since he was a child. His forbearance, his wisdom, and his low-keyness often made him even
Everyone in Jiangshan was amazed. He had always seen what Jiang Shangyu had been doing over the years, and even knew his plan.
Today's final exercise is the official start for Li and Li Tianlan.
The same is true for Jiang Shangyu.
He lost.
But the plan will not change, let alone stop.
"fine."
The rain and laughter on the river are gentle and gentle.
He was sitting on the bed holding his mobile phone. Just as he was about to continue saying something, he suddenly started coughing.
The cough came suddenly, but was extremely violent. His whole body twitched violently with the cough, and the wounds on his body were also cracking.
Thick blood flowed out from his nostrils and fell on the quilt in front of him.
Jiangshan listened quietly, as silent as death.
After a long while, Jiang Shangyu finally took a breath and sat on the bed, panting heavily.
"Nosebleed again?"
Jiang Shan asked.
"No."
Jiang Shangyu raised his head, his voice was a little hoarse, but his smile was extremely bright: "It's okay. Dad, don't worry about me."
"If it doesn't work, just go back to Northern Xinjiang."
Jiang Shan's voice was weak, a little bitter, and trembling: "Xiao Yu, there's no need to work so hard. As long as I'm here in Northern Xinjiang, no one dares to touch you."
Jiang Shangyu opened his eyes wide and looked at the ceiling above.
There is no one here.
So he doesn't have to work hard to control his facial features.
Strangely bright red blood flowed from his nose, corners of his mouth, eyes and ears.
He is still laughing.
Smile patiently and resolutely.
"There once was a very powerful super wealthy family in Central Continent."
He said softly: "I can't say specifically how powerful they are. They are not as powerful as the Beihai Wang family, but they are much stronger than the Jiang family. They have deep heritage, a long history, and a huge foundation. Such a wealthy family is just because they have made a
Wrong choice..."
He paused and continued: "Maybe it's not a mistake. In the process, they made a lot of mistakes. Dad, do you know what their biggest mistake was?"
"What?"
Jiang Shan was a little stunned.
"Their biggest mistake was that they never left a single outstanding descendant in the end. So all the glory turned into misery. The wealthy patriarch died in a planned air crash, the patriarch's wife committed suicide, and countless properties were seized and auctioned, and vassals
The family is fragmented. There are descendants of that family, but the most outstanding descendants are basically in prison. Some have been sentenced to death, and some have been sentenced to life. Oh, I forgot. They have enough outstanding descendants.
For future generations, it's just that the woman who was supposed to be the best able to support the end of the game went crazy, completely crazy. She jumped from the highest point of Huating, thinking that she was a bird, and finally fell to pieces. The woman who was once glorious for a while
The wealthy family, the entire family, and not even a dog ended up well in the end."
He held the phone, his eyes were dazed, and he said softly: "From that time, I knew that pursuing the ultimate glory is the same as pursuing the ultimate sin, and it is a point of no return. So I understand what the Beihai Wang family has done in recent years. I
I'm sure that if the Beihai Wang family collapses today, their fate will be even more tragic. As for our Jiang family, it may not be the same, but this is just because we are not as powerful as them. Dad, if I don't fight hard and hide in Northern Xinjiang,
After you retreat, unless I am willing to rely on a large group and be willing to be a puppet, what will happen to me? In the Jiang family's current position, if I don't climb up, I will fall into hell forever and never recover."
Jiang Shan was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Jiang Shangyu's facial features no longer bleed.
His spirit became more and more depressed, but his voice became softer: "Don't worry, Dad, I know what I am doing. I have been preparing for many years, and it is just the beginning of my life. I will take the Jiang family
To reach the position where we should exist, the Jiang family’s struggle and climb for generations cannot be in vain. Absolutely not!”
Jiang Shan smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Let's make some preparations."
Jiang Shangyu said softly: "Qingcheng may go to Northern Xinjiang in a while. I just agreed to Gu Xingyun to be a tour guide."
"Qingcheng?"
Jiang Shan hesitated for a moment: "Li Qingcheng?"
Jiang Shangyu hummed.
"Hey..."
Jiang Shan sneered: "Don't Gu Hanshan plan to make her daughter into a new generation of Phoenix Pavilion Pavilion Master? But that's right. After seeing your performance today, it's normal for him to change his mind. He plans to use his
My daughter is here to force us to express our stance."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiang Shangyu said calmly: "In this situation, we must have a clear attitude. If it can be exchanged for Qingcheng, I will be willing to do so. She should not stay in a place like Kunlun City."
Jiang Shan hummed, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The secretary walked into his office.
On the phone, Jiang Shangyu vaguely heard: "Secretary, emergency documents from the decision-making bureau..."
He smiled, hung up the phone silently, and sighed tiredly.
Beihai Wang family.
Li Shi.
He thought silently, feeling like he was standing between the Wang family and the Li family in Beihai.
Therefore, he can understand the Beihai Wang family and understand Wang Tianzong's determination to kill Li Tianlan even if he breaks the rules.
It was indescribable pressure and fear accumulated over hundreds of years of glory.
Climbing towards the top is a road of no return.
When it comes to carrying something, Wang Tianzong is the one who carries the most.
He could also understand Li's forbearance.
This is the attitude they must show when they have nothing.
Li Honghe and Mr. Li were holding back.
Li Tianlan must be stronger at certain times.
And what about yourself?
Jiang Shangyu thought silently.
The Jiang family was never at its peak, but it didn't have everything either.
Isn't this the most embarrassing middle position?
In such a position, he must endure something and bear something at the same time.
The setting sun outside the window was completely hidden at the end of the sky.
Night gradually covers the sky.
The moment the light completely disappeared, Jiang Shangyu turned to look out the window.
In the dim light of the night, there was a face that had no fanatical ambitions, but was extremely persistent and determined.
