Nangong Qingcheng was lost in her thoughts. Time seemed to have returned to a certain winter night more than ten years ago. The temperature was only a few degrees, and the curtain of night shrouded the earth. Electric whips cut through the sky, the wind howled, and the thunder was deafening. Suddenly, there was a torrential downpour, and lightning danced in the sky.
On a certain commercial street in the imperial capital, there was a five-year-old boy whose lips were a little purple from being soaked in the rain. The little boy didn't wear much in the rainy night, and it was similar to the summer clothes that ordinary children wore. His wet body was shivering from the cold wind, and his hair was messy. Droplets of water dripped from his bangs and covered half of his face. The boy's hands hung naturally by his sides, and his head was 45 degrees down. There was no expression on his face, and he walked aimlessly like a walking corpse. The people on the street were in a hurry to get off work or go home, and the passersby who were taking shelter from the rain. They didn't have the time to pay attention to such a little boy. After an unknown amount of time, the boy didn't feel the rain of arrows falling on him. Then, he looked up and found that he had come to a bus shelter. And at the bus shelter, under the illumination of the street lights, the little boy saw a seven-year-old girl. She was wearing a branded thermal windbreaker and a cotton-padded jacket pants. She had the windbreaker's hair on her head, and she looked like a carved jade. She was wearing two thermal gloves, and each of her hands was holding a lollipop. One was already opened, and the other was still open.
The sky was dark, and under the night sky mixed with darkness and rain, this fairy-like beautiful little girl became a bright color on this commercial street. The girl sat there, as if she was waiting for someone.
"Aren't you cold?" The girl's voice was very clear.
When the boy looked into the girl's big eyes that were as bright as the stars, he was a little absent-minded. Then, he shook his head, as if to say that he wasn't cold. The little boy's shivering body didn't know when it stopped. He seemed to have become numb to the cold of this rainy night.
"You're wearing so little, how can you not be cold?" The girl looked at the boy who was only wearing two layers of clothes and asked.
The boy didn't answer the girl's question. He just looked at the girl quietly, allowing the cold wind to blow against his thin and weak body.
"Do you want candy?" The girl looked at the boy and asked cutely.
When the boy saw the girl hand him a lollipop, he knew where the candy came from. Opposite the bus shelter was a candy house. Looking at the lollipop that the girl handed to him, he remembered that he hadn't eaten for a day and a night. Then, he nodded slightly and took the lollipop from the girl's hand with his purple cold hands.
While eating a lollipop like a girl, she revealed an innocent smile and said, "My name is Nangong Qingcheng. What's your name?"
"Xuanyuan Ling," the boy said expressionlessly.
"I gave you candy. Why do you look so unhappy?"
The boy shook his head. After two years of living in darkness, he had forgotten how to smile at people. He had also forgotten what it was to smile and what it was to cry …
At this time, a black car slowly stopped by the side of the road. The door opened and an old man in his sixties walked out. He held a black umbrella in his rough hand. The old man walked a few steps to the girl and said, "Miss, it's so cold. Why did you sneak out to buy candy again? Quickly get in the car. Master and your parents are looking for you."
"Uncle Fu, I thought you couldn't find me. I'm going to spend the day here." When the girl saw the old man, she threw herself in front of the old man and hugged his legs.
"Let's go. It's cold outside. Let's hurry home." The old man smiled kindly. At the same time, a warm hand gently stroked the girl's little head, as if he was the girl's grandfather.
The girl smiled sweetly and nodded her little head. Then, the old man carried her into the car.
The boy quietly looked at the car that disappeared into the night. In the world in his eyes, time seemed to have stopped. The rain was still falling, and the cold wind was still blowing on his thin and weak body. The cold temperature was eroding his body, but at this moment, he didn't feel cold …
.....
The girl that he met at the bus stop on the street added a touch of fresh color to the boy's gray world. The boy didn't open the lollipop that the girl gave him back then. Because of the encounter at the bus stop on the street, the boy had a deep impression of the girl. Later, the two people who didn't know each other met in the same elementary school and finally became friends. They played together, had fun together, laughed together … At that time, the boy felt that it was a kind of fate.
"Ten years. Our friendship lasted for ten years. You taught me what it means to laugh, what it means to be happy … I used to think that you would be the best friend in my life. However, it wasn't until later that I realized that I was wrong. I was really wrong. My absurdity. No matter how deep our friendship is, it can't withstand the test of trust …" Ye Chen looked at his former best friend in front of him and said faintly. From his words, one could feel his lamentation.
"Xuanyuan Ling? You're Xuanyuan Ling? " Looking at the lollipop that was formed in Ye Chen's hand and covered with the traces of time, Nangong Qingcheng, who had been in the business world for many years, was also a little dumbfounded at this moment. At the same time, a huge wave of emotions surged in his heart.
Eight years ago, four major events happened in the Imperial Capital, and three of them were related to him. The first event was about the useless young master of the Xuanyuan Family. The second event was that Xuanyuan Ling's engagement with the beautiful young genius of the Dongfang Family, Oriental Zixuan, was broken off. The third event was that less than three days after the engagement was broken off, the useless young master of the Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Ling, was expelled from the family and his name was struck off from the family tree. After he was expelled from the family, his whereabouts were unknown.
"It's me. Eight years, I'm back." Ye Chen said coldly.
"You're still keeping this thing until now?" Nangong Qingcheng's beautiful eyes looked at the lollipop in Ye Chen's hand. Suddenly, her mood became complicated. Thinking back to that cold sentence, I really regret knowing you and being friends with you, Nangong Qingcheng's seductive red lips couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. "Back then, you hated me a lot, didn't you?"
"Hate? I don't know why I hate you, and I don't know how I should hate you … "Ye Chen said faintly," You've awakened the inheritance power in your body? "
"What do you mean? What inheritance power? "Nangong Qingcheng asked.
"It seems that you haven't awakened it yet."
"What do you mean? What are you doing here? "
"To see you." Ye Chen walked to the front of the glass wall of the office, hands behind his back, and looked at the skyscrapers outside. "The God's Chosen Inheritance, the chosen one, obtains the inheritance of the nine stars, this is the God's Chosen Inheritance. The appearance of the nine stars, the five rays of light, refers to five people, and you, you are one of the chosen ones. "
Five rays of light, five people, but now, only four were left.
"You know the whole story of what happened two nights ago? How did you know? " Nangong Qingcheng was shocked. She knew that because of the appearance of the nine stars eight years ago, her grandfather, Nangong Feilong, left an indelible impression. The light of the nine stars shone on her, so Nangong Feilong was worried about his granddaughter. Eight years ago, the appearance of the nine stars brought an unprecedented disaster to the world. Now that the nine stars appeared again, her grandfather was afraid. He was afraid that the Heaven Punishing Divine Might would descend on the earth again, and he was also afraid that his granddaughter would meet with a disaster. If Nangong Qingcheng died, then the Nangong family would really have no descendants.
"Why are they so afraid of the appearance of the nine stars?" Ye Chen didn't understand. The appearance of the nine stars only happened once every few thousand years. Its appearance didn't cause any harm, so why were they so afraid?
"Because eight years ago, on the night when you were banished from the Xuanyuan family, the nine stars appeared once. The appearance of the nine stars caused all the stars to resonate. The entire sky of the imperial capital was devoid of clouds, and people could clearly see the vast starry sky covered by clouds. After that, a silver ray appeared in the sky above the imperial capital. At that time, all the stars shone as brightly as the sun, and all the stars connected into a line. At that time, a pressure came down from the sky, causing the mountains and rivers to tremble, the earth to tear, and the heavens to wail. Everyone who resisted, and those who raised their heads to look at the silver river of stars, turned into smoke under that pressure. The older generation said that it was the Heaven Punishing Divine Might! Resistance means death! " Nangong Qingcheng said. She had personally experienced that feeling. She felt a sense of anger from that Heaven Punishing Divine Might.
"Hmm? Eight years ago? The appearance of the nine stars? "
