Chu Yang took a deep breath and said, "Please speak your mind, Donghuang. I'm all ears. However, there's something that Chu Yang would like to say to Xue Leihan first. "
Hearing that, Xue Leihan couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Chu Yang had used four titles in succession in one sentence. In the first half of the sentence, he had used 'East Sovereign' and 'I', referring to their identities as the Lord of the Heavens and Chu Yang himself. In the second half of the sentence, he had used 'Chu Yang' and 'Xue Leihan', attributing their identities to the deep friendship between the two of them from two lifetimes.
I'm telling Xue Leihan, not Donghuang!
The concern in his words was self-evident.
Even though Xue Leihan's heart was in a mess now, he couldn't help but feel warm inside. He said lightly, "In front of you, there has never been a Donghuang."
Chu Yang nodded, raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Of course."
Xue Leihan said gently, "Go ahead."
Even if you're depressed and resentful, it won't do you any good. If you maintain such an attitude, it won't do you any good. It might even be a big obstacle. As the saying goes, it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. You've been deceived for countless years. Why not wait a few more days and let the other dynasty's arrangements be completed? Only in this way can we behead the traitors and let the undead avenge them. "
Xue Leihan was stunned. He stared at Chu Yang for a long time. After a long time, he suddenly smiled and patted Chu Yang's shoulder. He sighed and said, "Brother …"
Xue Leihan's voice was full of vicissitudes and emotions. After a long silence, he said, "… Back then … only Zi Hao dared to speak to me like this …"
When he said the two words' Zi Hao ', his voice was a little sad. He actually scolded, "That bastard, he died so heroically! He died so cleanly … He's really a bastard. If he wanted to break out, who in the world could stop him?! Even if Shangren Yun joined forces with Yuan Tianzhi and the other Heavenly Emperors, how could they stop him? "
His voice was a little hoarse. He scolded again, "That bastard!"
…
The two of them sat down again. Xue Leihan, who had regained his composure, took out a packet of tea from his space ring. He smiled lightly and said, "Chu Yang, this is my precious Purple Cloud Tea. It was personally brewed by Zi Hao back then. There's only one of its kind in this world. Let's drink tea while you listen to me tell you a story. Even Zi Hao didn't have this kind of quality. Back then, I was the one who brewed the tea, but he was the one who provided it. "
Just now, he had even scolded Zi Hao, but immediately after, he started to reminisce about Zi Hao.
Chu Yang smiled cheerfully and said, "I'm really honored. I'm overwhelmed by your favor."
The aroma of tea rose in spirals.
Steam rose into the air.
Pieces of light purple tea floated up and down in the teacup, and a clear fragrance wafted out. The fragrance was simple and elegant, but it carried a kind of persistence that lingered for a long time. It made people immerse themselves in it and feel that distant feeling for a long time.
"Everyone knows that I, Xue Leihan, am the Emperor of the East Emperor, with great power. However, no one knows of my background."
"All the more, no one knows why I'm called Xue Leihan."
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment. "Could it be that this isn't your real name?"
Chu Yang and Xue Leihan had known each other for two lifetimes. Knowing the name Xue Leihan was even before knowing the identity of the East Emperor. Previously, Xue Leihan was only the number one talent of the heavens, which was also the name of the current Lord of the Eastern Royal Heavens. Unexpectedly, this name was actually a fake one!
Xue Leihan smiled lightly and shook his head. "How can it be my real name! And which pair of parents would name their children with a teardrop in their name? This name is the one I'm using now, but it's not my real name. "
Xue Leihan smiled lightly and personally filled Chu Yang's cup with tea. His voice became more and more ethereal, like a piece of faint mist, drifting in every corner of this small room.
This made Chu Yang feel as if he was in a dream or a fantasy. It was as if he had transformed into Zi Hao, sitting opposite Xue Leihan, and the two brothers had a heart-to-heart talk.
"Back then, the Heavens Imperial Court was in a chaotic place. Experts emerged in large numbers, and the strong were respected. All the forces fought for territory every day, and all the clans desperately expanded their strength … The Heavens Imperial Court was a huge pugilistic world at that time!"
"Everyone had their own limits, and everyone was in danger."
"It wasn't until several thousand years later that the number of such battles gradually decreased. The major clans, major corporations, and major gangs that didn't perish in this chaotic war that lasted for thousands of years began to rise and gain a firm foothold."
"Back then, in the Heavens Imperial Court, there were more than 100,000 of such powerful sects, clans, and gangs!" Xue Leihan smiled lightly.
More than 100,000!
The corner of Chu Yang's mouth twitched subconsciously.
The Upper Three Heavens was already divided, and it was purely a chaotic pugilistic world. However, how many clans were there? At most, there were only 20 to 30 of them …
Just from this number alone, one could see how chaotic the situation was and how tragic it was at that time.
"Under such a background, no matter how powerful the sects and clans were, they didn't dare to recklessly assume that they were completely safe. Therefore, in the period after that, all the clans and forces came up with various schemes. In order to continue the development of their clans and protect their bloodline, they could be said to be unscrupulous and unscrupulous. "
"It was the most common method to use the daughters of the clans to form alliances through marriage. As for the males of the clans, they were usually not really important figures on the surface. No one knew who the real heir of the clans was, and where he was. Only when that person's wings were fully developed and he showed himself, then everyone would know: Oh, it's him. "
"These clans all had a habit, and that was to never put all their eggs in the same basket. Instead, they spread these eggs out and secretly scattered them to other places. Because there are unexpected situations, and there are risks in everything."
"Take me for example. I was actually an egg that was spread out back then." Xue Leihan smiled faintly and said somewhat mockingly, "It can be considered as … a very important type of egg."
"These eggs carried the skills of their clans, and arranged some good melodramatic stories. They successfully entered the eagle's nest, wolf's nest, and even other places where powerful forces existed. They learned new skills and combined them with their own skills. As long as they succeeded, they would naturally improve very quickly and achieve great results."
Chu Yang nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Usually, these people who were sent out were the true inheritors of the clan. After those who succeeded returned, they would go through another round of competition to choose the strongest person to be the new clan master. At that time, they would basically be fully developed and would no longer be afraid of challenges and dangers. At that time, the next generation of these people would once again use the method of spreading the eggs out and secretly enter any place in the world … And the one who stayed by their side, on the surface, seemed to be highly favored, but in reality, she was often the most useless one."
"Therefore, many clans claimed to be the only son and daughter. This way, they could use the most useless one to attract all the attention of the enemy. Moreover, it was a natural trap to deal with the enemy. Whether it was to lure the snake out of its hole or to wait for the rabbit to come out of a tree stump, it was extremely useful. But in reality, no one knew how many of their bloodlines were outside. "
"As long as one wasn't too stupid, one would understand after hearing such news. In such a clan, every clan master would have at least three wives and four concubines, or even more. As for those secret concubines outside, no one knew how many there were. How could there be only one son? But, it was just that they didn't know the specific whereabouts and existence of the other children. "
Xue Leihan's voice was very soft, but he described the chaotic situation of that year in an orderly and vivid manner.
Listening to it, Chu Yang felt as if he was there himself. He finally understood some of the mysteries.
"My surname is Xue, and I'm from the Xue clan. I'm also the Grand Duke of the Xue clan. There were a total of eight of us brothers. We all changed our names according to the egg rule and entered other clans, sects, and forces. Until now, there are only … two of us who are still alive."
"No one at all knows that there are people like us in the Xue clan."
Xue Leihan picked up the teacup and took a sip. His expression was focused on the purple tea, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"In our generation, the Xue clan had only one daughter. Among the eight brothers, there was only one daughter. My youngest sister was called … Xian 'er. " When Xue Leihan said this, he actually laughed coldly. That laughter was actually filled with a sense of creepiness. "So this sister … was doted on by the whole clan!"
Chu Yang sighed.
He thought of Lord Yun and the contents of Yuan Tianjie's handwritten letter.
He thought of the rumored number one beauty in the martial world, Xue Xian 'er.
"And when I was roaming the martial world, I got to know someone. This person was my only brother in my life." Xue Leihan said softly, "His name was Zi Hao."
"Zi Hao was different from us. His parents were just a pair of ordinary people. But very unexpectedly, they brought up a son who was world-shaking and had great achievements!"
"All of Zi Hao's achievements were completely from scratch. He roamed the mountains of swords and forests of swords alone. Zi Hao was ten years younger than me, so he had always respected me as his brother. "
A hint of warmth appeared on Xue Leihan's face. "Now that I think about it, that period of time when I roamed the martial world with Zi Hao back then was the happiest period of my life."
"During that period of time, I didn't even want to return to the clan at all. Because I hated that disgusting feeling of being a thief." Xue Leihan smiled. "I obviously returned to my own home, but I still had to be sneaky. That feeling of being disgusting to the extreme made me break down. And because of this, Zi Hao, who knew about it, made fun of me for a very, very long time. Thinking about it now, I actually still have lingering fears."
Xue Leihan said "still have lingering fears", but there was a look of reminiscence on his face, as if he was reminiscing about that feeling of "lingering fears" endlessly …
