"Back then, Brother Zi Hao and I roamed the world freely. Some of the people who were as famous as the two of us are now Di Yi Hou and the others." Xue Leihan said lightly, "However, there was still one person who was above us. He was like the sun in the sky, shining brightly. That person was Master Yun."
"Many people were willing to befriend him. However, when Zi Hao met him for the first time, the two of them fought. At that time, Zi Hao was far from being Master Yun's opponent. I went to help him. The two of us fought Master Yun together, but we still couldn't win. In the end, both of us were injured."
"From then on, as long as the two of us saw Cloud Lord, we would fiercely fight him. Every time, the result would be the three of us covered in wounds and heavy injuries."
"However, as we roamed the world, we gradually became famous. We also lost our original passion for the family's power. Sometimes, I even felt that the Xue Clan was too small. To me, it was not only not a help, but a restriction … My fate should belong to the world. "
"Until that day, when my father ordered me to go home and take over the position of the Clan Master. However, I calmly gave the position to my second brother, Xue Qinghan." Xue Leihan sighed deeply. "My father flew into a rage and chased me out of the family."
"My second brother's talent in martial arts was only above average. However, he was the wisest business genius. He only used a short ten years to turn the Xue Clan, which was originally a second-class clan, into the number one financial magnate in the Heaven Imperial Court! At that time, the Xue Clan was very famous. However, a tall tree attracted the wind. One day, my second brother was assassinated on his way home. "
Xue Leihan's voice trembled slightly. "My father was heartbroken when he heard the news. He announced to the world that whoever could avenge my second brother would be the benefactor of the Xue Clan."
"At that time, Zi Hao and I had also received this news. We traveled two hundred and seventy thousand miles and rushed back through the night as though we had gone mad. Only then did we know that Second Brother's revenge had already been avenged." Xue Leihan said indifferently, "And the person who had found the murderer was precisely that Lord Cloud."
"Because of this, Master Yun was treated like a distinguished guest and entered the Xue Clan. It was also because of this that I met my younger sister. "
Xue Leihan waved Yuan Tianzhi's handwritten letter in his hand and said with a cold smile, "There's a sentence in Yuan Tianzhi's handwritten letter, 'For the sake of Guru Yun, I plucked plum blossoms from Xiao Ling Mountain and stayed in Qing Han with strong winds on a snowy night. These are the two people I'm talking about. "
"Mei Xiao from the Cloud Plum Blossom Club, and my brother, Xue Qinghan, who died in the Gale Valley. Only now did I know that my second brother was killed by Cloud Lord, who was an honored guest of my family! And the one who took action is the future Heavenly Emperor Ink Cloud, Yuan Tianjie! "
Xue Leihan sneered, his voice as cold as ice. "Who would have thought that Second Brother would actually fall in the hands of a future Celestial Emperor, and the one who schemed against him behind the scenes was the future number one person in the Imperial Court … Shouldn't Second Brother, and even the entire Xue Clan feel very proud? And as the elder brother, I should feel honored too, right? "
Chu Yang sighed, but didn't say anything.
From the start till now, Xue Leihan had clearly suppressed the resentment in his heart countless times!
But now, when it came to this sentence, he couldn't suppress it anymore!
"And when Zi Hao and I rushed back from hundreds of thousands of miles, we secretly saw that Cloud Lord was like a fish in water in my family, and my little sister, Xian 'er, also went out to play with Cloud Lord every day … Cloud Lord was the number one genius in the Heaven Imperial Court in thousands of years, the number one expert of the younger generation … Xian' er wouldn't be in any danger at all when she was with him."
"At that time, we didn't think too much about it. Although Zi Hao and I didn't like Cloud Lord, we didn't hear any scandals about him in private, and we didn't make any unrighteous rumors either. So, although we felt a little uncomfortable, we were also very impressed by his cultivation. After all, the two of us had to rely on the two of us to be able to fight against him, and we were indeed inferior to him alone."
"So, we didn't stop them from interacting with each other. Now, it seems that this was the first terrible mistake that Zi Hao and I made back then! "Xue Leihan gritted his teeth fiercely, and a cracking sound came from the gaps between his teeth.
In mid-air, thunder and lightning suddenly flashed.
The Heavenly Emperor was angry, and so was the wind and clouds!
Chu Yang sighed from the bottom of his heart.
But he didn't say anything from beginning to end, and only listened attentively.
He knew that these things had been buried in Xue Leihan's heart for god knows how many years. Now, he finally found the truth of the mystery that had puzzled him for almost his entire life.
At this moment, the Eastern Imperial Celestial Emperor, Xue Leihan, needed to vent, needed an audience to listen to his past experiences.
If he continued to hold it in, even someone like Xue Leihan would probably explode from holding it in.
"After that, Zi Hao and I left secretly because of some family matters of Zi Hao's. From the beginning to the end, the two of us didn't show our faces. Zi Hao's family members were abducted by Qiang Liang. Zi Hao and I traveled thousands of miles to hunt down our enemies. We were gone for five years and finally wiped out all our enemies. It was also because of these five years of death hunting where we wandered around the boundary of life and death countless times that we grew a lot. Both of our cultivations took a big step forward at the same time and entered the ranks of the Celestial Being level experts. We became the young experts of the Purple Cloud Heavens and rose to the peak of the Celestial Being level in less than a year. "Xue Leihan chuckled." At that time, we were about the same age as you are now. "
"Of course, when we were roaming the martial world, we also paid attention to the movements of the Xue Clan at all times. During this period, the Xue Clan's development was good. Not only did it not show any signs of decline, it even grew stronger and stronger. I was very comforted, and didn't think more about it."
"It was only later that we found out that Master Yun worked hard for the Xue Clan during that period of time, which led to the continuous growth of the Xue Clan."
Xue Leihan's eyes revealed a trace of inexplicable mockery. "At that time, Zi Hao once said, 'It seems that Master Yun has feelings for your sister.' It's not bad to have such a brother-in-law. The Xue Clan should be prosperous. At that time, I laughed out loud and even agreed with him. "
"After all, although we were rivals, we didn't have any great enmity. Although there wasn't much appreciation for each other, there was still some, haha …"
These few words were filled with mockery, self-reproach, resentment, contradiction, nostalgia … All kinds of emotions, all at the same time.
"From then on, the two of us went our separate ways to train. I went to the Wilderness to explore while Zi Hao went deep into the Northern Lands to roam. Three years later, both of us had advanced to the level of Saints and truly became the top experts in the world."
"When we met again, I was already a super expert at the peak of the Saint level, while Zi Hao was still about the same level as me. He had seven other brothers under him, and we got along well with each other and looked after each other wholeheartedly. Both of us had our own team. Zi Hao once joked, 'Now that we're developing separately, a hundred years later, when we become one and work together with sincerity, how about we conquer the Imperial Court?' "
When Xue Leihan said this, his voice sounded very special. It was definitely not his own voice. He was probably deliberately imitating Zi Hao's voice and tone at that time.
Chu Yang naturally wasn't sure if this imitated voice was the same as Zi Hao's, but he could hear the overwhelming pride in this sentence!
How about we conquer the Imperial Court?!
What kind of confidence was this! What kind of magnanimity was this!
Just by listening to this sentence, one could almost see the heroic spirit of the burly and bearded Heavenly Emperor of the Purple Clouds looking down on the world.
"At that time, I nodded and agreed. Because both of us were confident that within a hundred years, we would definitely be able to reach the peak. At that time, with the two of us working together, even Master Yun would definitely not be a match for us. Ordinary people wouldn't even be in our eyes. Conquering the Imperial Court and becoming the supreme ruler would definitely not be a problem! "
"However, the affairs of the world are like a game of chess. Heaven's will is unpredictable. Before that time came, the Imperial Court suddenly fell into chaos. The competition for the position of the top expert in the martial world began. The Xue Clan didn't hesitate to go bankrupt to promote this matter. The entire Xue Clan and all the other forces, a total of 1.7 million people, did their best to promote this matter. My younger sister, Xian 'er, even announced to the entire martial world that whoever could win the position of the top expert would marry that person. "
"Zi Hao and I were completely dumbfounded by this news. Zi Hao came back from the snowy mountains in the night and found me, asking me what to do. But things had already reached that stage. What else could we do? As long as Zi Hao and I didn't appear to compete with Master Yun, no one else would be a match for him. "
"And at that time, how could Zi Hao and I appear? Because it concerns my younger sister's lifelong happiness! "
"I vaguely remember that those who participated in the battle at that time included Yuan Tianjie, Zi Wuji, and … in the end, Master Yun defeated all the heroes and won the title of the top expert in the world. And Zi Hao and I could only stand aside and be pure spectators. "
"On the night of my younger sister's wedding, I didn't show up. Instead, I dragged Zi Hao out to drink. From that night onwards, the two of us drank for seven days and seven nights."
"When we sobered up, we found that in these seven days, the world had changed! My father, for no reason at all, suddenly died! Master Yun flew into a rage because of this. Not only did the Xue Clan send out all of its masters, they also dispatched more than seventy thousand of their own forces to seek revenge in the entire Imperial Court! It was a completely crazy scene! "
"At that time, when I heard the news, I was filled with grief and indignation and wanted to immediately seek revenge, but Zi Hao desperately stopped me, saying that there was something fishy about this matter and that it was not appropriate for me to meet with Master Yun right now. Even more so, I couldn't let Master Yun know that I was related to the Xue Clan. "
