The Xu Zi Yan who heard the four words "martial arts training hall" in his half asleep and half awake state suddenly jumped up. "Ah! I almost forgot!"
A guy who looked to be in love with his blankets and unwilling to ever part had suddenly jumped out, so it would naturally scare any onlookers. Xu Zi Rong was no exception.
He opened his mouth wide and stared at the Xu Zi Yan who was in great spirits, as if the other hadn"t just gotten out of bed, and couldn"t say anything for a long time.
"Ah! I forgot! I forgot!" Xu Zi Yan said to himself in a low, annoyed tone. He actually overslept, he should really go die!
Before he had transmigrated, he already had this bad habit of having a hard time getting out of bed. In modern times however, he had an unequalled and effective way that got him out of bed——setting more than five alarm clocks!
But coming here……_(:з」∠)_, who in the Xu family had enough guts to disturb the Young Master when he was sleeping, ah……
"Big brother……" Xu Zi Rong hesitantly asked. "Are we still going to the martial arts training hall?"
"Going! Of course we"re going ah! Today it"s big brother"s fault, I actually overslept! I"ll clean up faster!" Xu Zi Yan started dressing himself as he bitterly replied.
Xu Zi Rong quietly sat onto a chair as he watched Xu Zi Yan wash up and change his clothes, using all of his four limbs to get ready. His gaze was deep.
The Xu Zi Yan in front of him gave him a very intense uncomfortable feeling. Perhaps it was because he was tortured by Xu Zi Yan a few times too much when he was younger, but the other"s mocking tone, his actions, and even the lilting ends of his words were completely remembered by him.
But although all the aspects of the person in front of him were the same as the previous Xu Zi Yan"s, he had a "this is a completely different person" kind of feeling.
The corner of Xu Zi Rong"s mouth suddenly revealed the hint of a strange smile. Even if this person wasn"t Xu Zi Yan, what did it matter to himself? The revenge he should deal out——it still should be done!
With the effort of pouring a cup of tea, Xu Zi Yan was already finished cleaning up. Holding onto Xu Zi Rong"s hand, he hurriedly rushed out of the door.
Xu family"s martial arts training hall was built in the mountains. Other than the expansive s.p.a.ce, another reason for it to be built there was because of the ordinary beasts and the low-level spiritual beats.
Perhaps these things would be fatal for mortals, but for disciples that cultivated, it truly provided them the best way to practice.
Xu Zi Yan brought Xu Zi Rong on a mad dash. Along the way, chickens flew and dogs jumped as they startled countless maids. But after all, with how highly ranked the Young Master"s position was, of course n.o.body would dare go to the Master to complain.
While Xu Zi Yan was running, he still did not forget to check if anyone was following them in the surface of his floating room whenever they changed directions.
Reality went according to what he had expected. Xu Zi Yan saw the figure of a man wearing black flash across his floating room at least three times.
His heart was secretly delighted. Although the grade of the stealth cultivation from the Xu family wasn"t high, the effect could be considered as quite good. But even if they took that into account, in front of his floating room there was no escape. So didn"t that mean that those people who were proficient in silent a.s.sa.s.sination wouldn"t be able to use their abilities in front of him?
Thinking up to that, Xu Zi Yan couldn"t help but laugh at himself. His dream was truly beautiful, but reality was cruel. After all, the "room" was only so big. Unless he constantly used the room to "see through", the "room" was something of little value.
He helplessly shrugged. Forget it. In any case this thing was something free of charge, and who knew? Maybe at a crucial moment this room would play a key role in helping them. No matter what, this room didn"t take up any energy so it was better to not be too greedy.
"Big brother? What happened?" From the beginning to the end of their run, Xu Zi Rong had always been observing Xu Zi Yan"s expressions. Right now this Xu Zi Yan was someone he couldn"t understand or look through, so in his heart, he had already rated this Xu Zi Yan"s danger level as the highest one.
"Ah? It"s nothing, big brother is just dazing off." Xu Zi Yan replied casually.
Xu Zi Rong felt his chest tighten, as if there was a breath he couldn"t release.
Silently suppressing his angry thoughts, he once again thought that this Xu Zi Yan was really someone extremely strange…… (no he wasn"t!)
One tall and one short child ran in a dead sprint to the martial arts training field. For Xu Zi Rong, Xu family"s martial arts training field in his experienced eyes was just like a small child"s plaything. The reason why he wanted to go take a look was mostly because he was curious about this Xu Zi Yan.
He really wanted to know what kind of tricks this Xu Zi Yan who was completely different from the past one intended to play, or……
His dark and gloomy eyes flashed. As a blood devil, Xu Zi Rong understood too much of the evil ways. Although he did not practice that kind of cultivation, there were no lack of mysterious things within those techniques.
He had once saw on an old parchment, that previously it was thought that the ancient blood devils knew a method to devour one"s soul.
Using this method to possess someone, not only could they understand all the secrets of the eaten soul, even their soul would possess the same wavelength as the other"s. In other words, if someone began to suspect that they were possessed and tried to use their blood to perform a test, they wouldn"t find anything wrong with them.
Unfortunately, that parchment page didn"t go into the details of that technique. But since there were remnants of pages like that, who could guarantee that n.o.body already knew this kind of evil spell?
Gaze deeply planted on the Xu Zi Yan leading in front of him, Xu Zi Rong let his eyelids lower slightly. Ever since his rebirth, there were too many things that happened differently compared to the events in his memory. In the final a.n.a.lysis, however, the source of those differences were all because of Xu Zi Yan"s att.i.tude toward him.
He could even be reborn. Who knew if this Xu Zi Yan he met was one who was possessed? But no matter who the person in front of him was, as long as it wasn"t the previous Xu Zi Yan, he could make a deal with him.
In this world, anything could be exchanged if there was interest in it. Although he did not have much strength right now, but with the many more years of experience he had from his previous life, he was well acquainted with the hidden places of some heavenly artifacts.
Those things that could cause a great sensation, perhaps his current ability wouldn"t allow him to pursue them. But those secretly appearing precious things, he could totally take advantage of how other people wouldn"t have reacted yet to take them away.
With his previous experience, he was completely confident that he could cultivate and break through the first layer of the Blood Sea Heart Sutra much quicker than before. You had to frequently vent out your anger after breaking through into the first later, but……
The corner of his mouth slowly rose into a mocking smile. He was a blood devil, and wasn"t murdering others and setting arson the old profession of a blood devil?
In his last life he didn"t do any of this, but those guys decided he was the one who released those blood-sucking devil insects. They even pulled in the whole cultivation world to be his enemies, but in the end wasn"t it so that they could use his essence blood to attract the mother bug?
Hmph. For what reason should he give his essence blood to those sanctimonious hypocrites? For a person like him who cultivated using the Blood Sea Heart Sutra method, his essence blood was practically his cultivation. Give it away and his cultivation would fall. For someone with his t.i.tle, if his cultivation fell wouldn"t what happened afterwards be clear?
It was ridiculous. Who did that Bai Hua think he was? What kind of thing did he believed himself to be? Bai Hua thought so highly of himself that the other came and tried to persuade him to sacrifice his own essence blood, did he really think he was some kind of stunning beauty?
Anyway, n.o.body would believe him back then. Thus, in this life it would better if he became a crazy blood devil that slaughtered everybody.
In that way, his cultivation level of the Blood Sea Heart Sutra could rise even quicker. After all, human blood was always much easier to use than animal blood, and he wouldn"t need to kill beasts in a death battle. Killing people——was much simpler than killing beasts.
"We"re here!" Xu Zi Yan"s voice brought Xu Zi Rong out of his thoughts. He looked up and looked around with a face filled with envy and worship, before he asked in slight confusion. "Big brother, this is the——martial arts training field? Then, could I also practice cultivating here in the future?"
"Of course," There was no way Xu Zi Yan wouldn"t nod his head. "You are Xu family"s child, of course you are qualified to cultivate."
Xu Zi Rong exposed an expression as if he had only half understood, before he dazedly nodded.
Xu Zi Yan smiled tenderly before he pointed at a meandering and rugged mountain road. "From here on, even if it is to enter the range of the martial arts training field, the regulations of the Xu family states that only those who can get to the martial arts field themselves have the qualifications to learn the Xu family"s cultivations techniques."
When he finished speaking, he encouragingly patted Xu Zi Rong"s shoulders. "In this big brother has no way to help you. But don"t worry, Zi Rong. It is just a bit tiring to climb up there, but there shouldn"t be any problems for you."
Xu Zi Rong nodded his head silently. He knew the rules of this family, but in his last life, he didn"t even have the opportunity to come here, so obviously he wasn"t eligible to climb this road.
"Do you want big brother to watch you from here, or do you want me to go up first to wait?" Xu Zi Yan considerately asked.
Xu Zi Rong smiled shyly. "Big brother can go up, I"m fine by myself."
"Alright," Xu Zi Yan didn"t say much more, and ceng ceng ceng leapt onto the road and up the mountain. In a few seconds, even his shadow was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Zi Rong stared at that huge limestone that was spread on the mountain road, his smile slowly fading away.
Xu family……
His mouth silently chewing on these two words, Xu Zi Rong couldn"t say what he was feeling at that moment.
The opportunity was so eagerly placed in front of him, but he realized that he had long lost interest in it.
It was accurate to say……ever since he left Xu family in his previous life, he seemed to have lost interest in everything. It was as if his hatred of it helped him to continue living, but after that night it also disappeared.
Emptiness? Confusion? He did not know……
At this moment he only clenched his fist, and took step by step toward those limestone stairs.
When he stepped onto the first stair, Xu Zi Rong suddenly felt a huge pressure hit his body. His face suddenly changed.
Everything was all fake!
Xu Zi Rong"s heart instantly cooled. He didn"t understand, Xu Zi Yan could clearly kill him just by moving his hands, so why would the other use so much effort to get him there in order to kill him with a trap……
Did this have a meaning?
Confused and puzzled, Xu Zi Rong felt that even in the end he still could not understand how this Xu Zi Yan"s mind worked. But just when he thought he was about to be reduced into smush by that pressure, that pressure was suddenly reduced. It then weakened to the extent where it was possible for him to bear.
Xu Zi Rong: ???
Suddenly, he remembered the words Xu Zi Yan said to him before he had left: it"s just a bit tiring to climb up there, but you should have no problems.
The image in his memory froze on Xu Zi Yan"s handsome face after he said those words, but Xu Zi Rong could clearly make out that from those seemingly indifferent eyes were the hints of a joking smile!!!
