The plants waved their vines as if they were alive. They grabbed Guan Heng's feet and raised them high like long whips or snakes, aiming for the boy's neck!
Hong 'er knelt on the ground. His eyes were red and almost dripping blood.
She shouted in a low voice, "Young master, don't blame Hong 'er. Hong' er is doing this for everyone's sake.
Hong 'er is now a cultivator. He will listen to the master's orders and protect the family on behalf of young master. "
As soon as she finished speaking, the green grass sprang up and spread in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it grew to half a person's height.
The Hundred Happiness Grass was sharp and the Broad Leaf Grass was huge like a barrier. The grass gathered together and wrapped Guan Heng tightly like a rice dumpling. They merged into a huge cocoon as tall as a person.
The branches in the cocoon twitched faintly. The vines swept and the thick purple-red branches were like huge blood vessels. They pulled out of the cocoon and spread to Hong 'er's body.
"Gulp gulp" came out of the cocoon, like a person drinking water.
After about half an hour, the crazy plants slowly stopped. Their whipping movements became stiff, but they did not shrink back to their original size.
The courtyard, which was already abandoned, became even more dilapidated after this battle. Tall plants pierced through the fence with sharp thorns and hung outside the wall provocatively, showing off their sharpness.
The girl kneeling on the ground stood up.
She glanced at the cocoon with pity and patted the dust on the corner of her clothes. The mahogany food box fell by her feet. She kicked it lightly and kicked it far away.
"Kacha", a golden crispy apple rolled out of the box. It rolled a few times with dust on the ground and stopped pitifully and helplessly in front of the fence.
"Ah, poor young master."
The girl gently stroked the thick purple-red vines in front of her. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia, as if she wanted to trace the outline of the boy buried inside through the cocoon.
But her eyes were quickly covered by a deep and stern look. The girl covered her arm and giggled.
"Stupid young master," she sighed leisurely. "Why do you have to expose me? I specially made this fruit crispy because of young master's kindness. I wanted to leave young master's body intact … "
A soft sigh was suddenly heard, carried by the wind.
"So … you still remember that I'm your benefactor."
Hong'er's pupils shrank!
She abruptly turned her head, only to see that the giant cocoon was suddenly bursting with a dazzling light!
It was as if a sharp sword light had broken out of the cocoon. Invisible profound energy drew a ripple in the air that seemed to tear space apart, and the dense grass and leaves were instantly minced into a myriad of pieces that swayed and drifted down!
"Swish —"
The wood shavings drifted in the wind, and the silhouette of a person slowly appeared.
He stood tall and straight like a pine tree.
Guan Heng's body was covered with tiny wounds. His handsome face was also covered with fine red scars. Blood seeped out from the wounds, drop by drop, falling to the ground and quietly seeping into the soil.
He looked like he was covered in blood.
However, the young man's eyes were as bright as the stars.
He said in a deep voice, "I remember that thirteen years ago, there was a Jiao Long on the east side of the White Ridge that entered the sea, setting off millions of waves and drowning hundreds of villages … It was my father who snatched you from the victims and saved your life."
There were cultivators and profound beasts in the world.
There were even beast kings lurking in some inaccessible mountains. When they came out, they overturned rivers and seas, like an earth dragon turning over, and it was difficult for humans to resist.
In the early years of the natural disaster, mud and sand fell, and the people were plunged into misery and suffering. An endless stream of floating corpses flowed into the sea from the east, almost cutting off the river flow.
During that time, the sky and earth were blood-red, and cries of agony could be heard in every corner of the land. No one covered the corpses in the suburbs, and those who were lucky enough to survive in the flood had to face the ensuing famine and epidemic. They had to sell their wives and children to survive.
Hong'er gritted her teeth, tiptoed, and took a few steps back. The red scars appeared in her almond-shaped eyes again.
"Later, I also taught you how to read and read … Sigh, forget it. You won't like to hear it anyway."
Guan Heng shook his head and sighed, "Anyway, it's the same principle. You owe me a favor, but you owe me a debt of gratitude. I saved your life, so you must have a deadly grudge against me."
The girl's light-colored eyes were bloodshot.
She didn't say a word. Instead, her Xuan Li flowed, urging the plants.
A strange floral fragrance wafted through the air. It was a light pink flower bud growing at the tip of the grass in the courtyard. Its petals were as large as a washbasin, and its stamen was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, aiming to cover Guan Heng's head!
But Guan Heng was faster than her!
The young man trained hard every day, and every day, he carried a huge rock half the height of a person around the city. How could Hong'er, a weak servant girl raised in her boudoir, compare to him?
Moreover, Guan Heng had practiced the 《Devouring the Sky》. At this moment, the Xuan Li flowed in his body, absorbing the cold force left by Xie Ziyou. How could Hong'er, who had just broken through the barriers between heaven and man, be a match for God's favored Xuan Li?
Before Hong'er's flower could grow, a slender and powerful hand had already landed lightly on her head!
Guan Heng's palm was warm, like the scorching sun.
A strange aura immediately drilled into Hong'er's body from the top of her head, greedily chasing after the light red Xuan Li flowing in her body.
The girl's hair stood on end, and her face turned pale. She shouted in distress, "Young Master, Young Master, you can't — I'm already a cultivator. I'm useful to Guan Jia!"
Guan Heng smiled.
"Cultivator?" He tilted his head slightly and said, "Are you? Who saw it? "
In Hong'er's eyes, Guan Heng's gentle smile was no less than a demon opening its ferocious mouth. The strange mysterious current circulated in her body, and actually absorbed all of the Xuan Li and the medicinal power left behind, leaving nothing behind!
The girl stole the pill and acted secretly. Before the medicinal power was completely absorbed and her realm stabilized, she naturally wouldn't tell anyone.
She tried every means to cover up and act secretly, but at this moment, Guan Heng took advantage of her.
Without the support of the Xuan Li, the ferocious Great Plate Flower fell from midair. The vines also fell to the ground, weakly twisting and twitching.
"No, no …" The girl collapsed on the ground, her soft body shaking into a puddle of mud.
She wailed, "Young Master, Young Master! Hong'er was wrong! "
The girl struggled to grab her collar and pulled with all her strength!
The thin skirt was torn from the middle, and the chiffon was torn apart, revealing her smooth shoulders and a large part of her soft back. Her skin was delicate, shining brightly under the sun.
The girl choked with sobs and pointed to the large red scars on her back and arms. She cried bitterly, "Young Master, do you see this? Hong'er was scalded by boiling water when she was young. Hong'er will never forget that kind of pain! "
"Hong'er wants to be a cultivator. Hong'er doesn't want to be trampled on by others!"
Looking at the girl's miserable and painful appearance, Guan Heng's heart was filled with emotion, and his eyes flashed with reminiscence.
He opened his mouth slightly, as if he had something to say.
Hong'er's eyes flashed with a trace of hope, and she secretly felt proud. She thought that the Young Master was indeed the most soft-hearted. She raised her head slightly, her eyes shining, and she looked forward to it.
Guan Heng: "Burp."
Hong'er: "…"
"Ah, sorry, I ate a little too much." Guan Heng smiled apologetically and said, "Don't mind me. Continue, I'm listening."
He really did feel bloated, and his meridians were faintly swollen with pain.
The Xuan Li contained in a fifth-grade pill was no small matter. Guan Heng's body was also injured. No matter how tyrannical the 《Devour the Heavens》 technique was, there was always a limit. He couldn't convert all the medicinal power into cultivation in the blink of an eye.
However, Hong'er didn't expect Guan Heng's reaction. Her eyes widened, and tears hung from the corners of her eyes. She was dumbfounded, and for a moment, she didn't know whether she should continue crying or not.
Xie Ziyou looked enviously from inside the bracelet, and couldn't help but want to clap and cheer.
The protagonist's face slapping was really refreshing. If he could stand in Hong'er's position today, how many points would he get?
Although this guy didn't perform well in the morning's engagement cancellation segment, it seems that he still has the aura of a protagonist.
After a good round of thinking, he's another stable and reliable Proud Heavens artifact for accumulating points.
Guan Heng, you can do it!
Guan Heng tilted his head slightly, and his eyes drooped as he looked at the girl in front of him.
Delicate and timid, slender eyebrows, a sharp chin, and long eyelashes with droplets of water. She was a complete beauty.
The person that he loved like a little sister, how did she become like this in the blink of an eye?
The youth's eyes darkened slightly.
"Crack."
The sound was crisp and pleasant, like a mirror falling to the ground and shattering into pieces.
That was the sound of the Xuan Dan inside Hong'er's body shattering.
When a xiuzhe gathered all the power in their dantian and condensed it into a dan, it was called the Xuan Dan.
If the Xuan Dan was shattered, it was like cutting off their limbs, cutting off their cultivation, and turning them back to being a normal person.
The girl had coveted the exorbitant price of the pill, but had only experienced the life of a xiuzhe for half a day. That lofty and noble world of xiuzhe had no fate with her from now on.
Hong'er's mind collapsed. This time, she had completely collapsed, "Young Master! You can't be so cruel, Young Master! "
She knelt on the ground, desperately kowtowing. Without the protection of the Xuan Li, a beautiful line of blood quickly spread out from her forehead.
Guan Heng sighed softly in his heart.
He stepped past the girl's trembling body and walked towards the courtyard door.
Xie Ziyou asked doubtfully, "You're not going to kill her?"
Weren't Long Ao Tian people the most vengeful of all?
Guan Heng said, "Why would I kill her?"
"She's already received her retribution. Losing something after having it is more regrettable than not having it at all."
Xie Ziyou thought about it and felt that it made sense.
He blinked his beautiful peach blossom eyes and suddenly said, "Didn't you not trust me?"
Why did he dare to cultivate this technique?
Guan Heng said, "Hey, don't mind it. I'm just choosing the lesser of two evils."
Xie Ziyou, "… …"
Fuck.
He had played the role of the villain, but he had played the role of favorability. He had wholeheartedly played the role of the cheat, but he had become the "bane" of the protagonist's heart.
Was there any justice left in this world?
Seeing that Xie Ziyou was speechless, Guan Heng couldn't help but laugh. The corners of his mouth curled up, and a trace of blood dripped down from the corner of his lips.
The youth raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and pretended to be relaxed. "I'm meat on the chopping block. I have to be flexible in order to get through life. Don't be too rigid."
"… … I'm not rigid."
"People who are too rigid are very funny, like my father. Do you know what stupid things my father did in the past? There was a rumor that Miss Xie liked to listen to stories, so he found a storyteller to teach me how to tell stories. A few months later, there was another rumor that Miss Xie liked to listen to operas, so he found an opera troupe to teach me how to sing operas. This time, only a week later, there was another rumor that Miss Xie liked to slaughter pigs … … "
"I don't like that … … Bah! Then why don't we just cancel the engagement! "
"So you did know about my engagement." Guan Heng's eyes darkened, and he chuckled. "You still insist that you're an immortal who has been sealed for many years? Don't make too many mistakes. "
Xie Ziyou: "… …"
Where did this bastard main character come from? Why is he tearing down my walls?
He was speechless. He only felt that Guan Heng's half-smiling face was disgusting no matter how he looked at it. For a moment, he angrily withdrew his Soul Consciousness and returned to his body. Then, he kicked the wall of the crystal carriage.
Hearing the noise, the crystal carriage, which was traveling quickly on the mountain road, suddenly stopped.
A maid tried to lift the curtain and whispered worriedly, "Miss?"
"Don't come in. I'm fine!"
Xie Ziyou hurriedly pinched his throat and shouted. Suddenly, he felt that something was strange.
He lifted half of the curtain and looked around. He asked in confusion, "Where's You Qin?"
Xie Ziyou had four main maids. You Qin, Xingqi, Liu Shu, and Ning Hua. You Qin was the head of the four maids. She usually took care of his meals and was the most considerate.
If he made any noise in the carriage, You Qin would be the first to ask about it.
At this moment, it was Liu Shu who was waiting outside the carriage.
The young girl bowed her head and lowered her eyebrows. Her delicate eyebrows showed a nervous expression. She whispered, "Miss, You Qin Jiejie … lost something in Luo County. She has to go back to get it. She didn't dare to disturb Miss. She said that she would immediately rush back after she got it. "
Xie Ziyou's Fair Complexion hand twisted the thin curtain. A trace of doubt flashed through his beautiful peach blossom eyes.
He wanted to ask what was lost, but on second thought, although he was the master, he didn't have the right to carefully interrogate all the personal matters of the maids.
Forget it.
With this thought, Xie Ziyou put down the curtain and said, "Walk slowly. Wait for You Qin to catch up." He continued to be distracted and returned to Guan Heng.
His mind had just returned to the bracelet when he was distracted by a series of faintly anxious calls.
Guan Heng gently shook the bracelet in the sunlight and called out, "Fairy? Senior? Little ghost? Yin spirit? Hey, are you still there? "
Xie Ziyou's mind was stuck on the jade bracelet. This green jade bracelet was equivalent to his temporary body. After being shaken by Guan Heng for a long time, for a moment, he was dizzy and couldn't help but kick the edge of the jade bracelet.
He angrily said, "Call me senior!"
The jade bracelet made a crisp sound of jade hitting stone.
Guan Heng immediately stopped and said, "Senior, where did you go? Why didn't you respond?"
Xie Ziyou saw Guan Heng's face and became angry. He said in a bad mood, "I didn't go anywhere. I just didn't want to talk to you … What, you're allowed to test me, but I'm not allowed to be angry?"
"Hey, it's not like that."
Hearing the lively and clear voice in his mind, Guan Heng secretly sighed in relief.
He blinked and said with a smile, "Alright, it's my fault. I'll apologize to you."
This is more like it.
Xie Ziyou thought with satisfaction, If only this person wasn't so smart and was more obedient.
Guan Heng was injured all over. As he tried to digest the mystical energy he absorbed from Hong 'er, he asked Xie Ziyou, "Senior, I have another question."
Xie Ziyou: "Go ahead."
Guan Heng: "I …"
The young man's voice suddenly stopped.
He had just taken half a step out of the courtyard when he turned around and saw a dense crowd of people standing outside the gate. They were silent and solemn, like a black cloud pressing down on a city.
Fang Cai's line of sight was blocked by the tall fence, Xie Ziyou was trapped in the bracelet, and Guan Heng was seriously injured. The two of them didn't notice anything.
Those people surrounded the small courtyard so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through. They all looked solemn and their eyes were cold. They looked at Guan Heng as if they were looking at a dead man.
The middle-aged man at the front had a square face. His small beard fluttered in the wind. His hands were behind his back, and his long robe hung loosely on the ground. However, his face was slightly yellow, as if he didn't have enough energy.
He was the head of Guan Jia's family.
Looking at the crowd in front of him, Guan Heng's footsteps paused slightly.
They didn't come with good intentions.
Xie Ziyou's heart also tightened. He thought in a panic, when did these people come?
Before or after Hong 'er's assassination?
But if it was before …
Xie Ziyou's heart trembled, and he immediately felt terrified. He hurriedly shook his head, suppressing the thoughts that had flown away in that instant.
Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs.
How could there be such a heartless father who would watch his son's blood be sucked dry?
Guan Heng probably had the same thought.
The expression in his eyes changed continuously. In the end, it was suppressed by the darkness that was as deep as the sea.
The youth took two steps forward and revealed a big smile to the expressionless middle-aged man. He pretended to be intimate and said, "Father — —"
The middle-aged man's thick and thick eyebrows suddenly furrowed. He shouted in a deep voice, "Unfilial son, kneel down!"
A cold wind suddenly blew.
A flock of crows was disturbed by the roar. They flapped their wings and flew up from the branches, fleeing towards the distant sky. Their small and weak bodies seemed to gather together to form a large flock, casting dark shadows on the ground.
Guan Heng was silent for a moment. The corners of his eyes silently turned red.
He raised his head slightly and blinked a few times. He felt wronged and said, "Father, what did I do wrong? Why are you making such a big fuss?"
The head of Guan Jia looked coldly at the youth.
His expression was solemn. He said without a smile, "You harassed xiuzhe and brought great trouble to the family. This is the first crime."
"You spoke rudely to Miss Xie. This is the second crime."
"You allowed your servant girl to steal dan medicine. This is the third crime."
"You have committed several crimes. Even if you are my son, you cannot escape punishment. I announce that from today onwards, you will be grounded in this little courtyard. The time limit … … is forever. "
The blazing sun was like a furnace, drying people's mouths and tongues. A fire called impatience rose from the bottom of their hearts.
The sun was too strong and blinded the eyes. The grass on the side of the road drooped and struggled to breathe.
Xie Ziyou lowered her head guiltily. She couldn't bear to look at Guan Heng's expression.
He was asked to play the role of the villain, but he had a conscience.
Even though he knew that this was just a small obstacle before the main character soared to the sky, hearing Guan Heng's hurried and sad breathing and seeing the youth's slightly red eyes, his heart still throbbed and he felt guilty and uneasy.
Then he heard Guan Heng speak in a low voice. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Father, if you are being held hostage, please blink your eyes."
At the same time, the youth's long sleeve lightly waved. His black brocade robe brushed through the air, creating a sparkling drizzle.
The man opposite him didn't say a word. His face was expressionless.
But gradually, his eyelashes trembled. His eyes became red at a speed visible to the naked eye. His eyelids were as heavy as mountains as they violently blinked.
Tears seemed to appear in the man's eyes. Under the sun, they became brighter and brighter. The tears quickly accumulated in his eyes and flowed out from the corners of his eyes.
"I knew it!"
Guan Heng seemed to have been pardoned. He immediately jumped up. His eyes were clear and bright. There seemed to be a flickering flame in his black pupils.
"Father, you really didn't mean what you said. Your son knows that you love me the most!"
"Since it's inconvenient to speak frankly today, why don't we make an appointment another day? Father, please wait a moment. Your son will leave first …"
Guan Heng spoke very quickly. As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to escape to the side where there were fewer people. His hair was blown by the breeze, reflecting a dazzling light like broken diamonds.
The middle-aged man's expression finally cracked. His eyes were red as he roared, "… Shut up, you stinking brat!"
"Which bastard taught you to hold the dust in your hands?!"
