"You are indeed more like him." Si Tian smiled bitterly and sighed, his eyes shining brightly as he remembered something from the past, "I still remember one time I was drinking with him, and he grabbed my hand when he was drunk.

He kept nagging and talked about you over and over again, saying that he didn't trust you, that he didn't understand you at all, and that he was afraid that one day you would be unable to control yourself. Alas... I didn't understand what he meant at that time.

He was so drunk that he still kept tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything more. Now that I think about it, your clan must still be hiding some secrets that cannot be seen, right?"

"Are you talking about me?" Xiao Yibai just smiled very calmly. His parents always loved his younger brother more, so it turned out that the person who was most worried about him was himself?

This was somewhat beyond his expectation. In his impression, his younger brother was not always as stern and silent as he is now. On the contrary, he really liked to pester his mother to take him to the market to play. To his parents, he was more cheerful by nature.

Their younger brother is the one they care about the most.

Xiao Yibai silently turned the wine glass in his hand, his face floating in the clear wine made him involuntarily think of his brother.

The younger brother is so cautious and cautious now, and his character that refuses to open his heart to anyone was also completely changed after the family murder case, right?

"The person he is most worried about is you -" Si Tian repeated, looking directly into the other person's ice-blue pupils, his eyes as deep as thick ink that cannot be melted away, and whispered, "Your eyes

He is exactly the same as Ling Yun, but your brother is different from you, what is going on?"

Xiao Yibai paused, then carefully took out something from his arms and placed it in front of him. Si Tian's mouth twitched slightly, that was the family emblem of Tianzheng Mansion, a ferocious beast!

When he traveled in the Central Plains, he deliberately learned about some myths and legends there, and finally discovered the weird mythical beast on his friend Xiao Lingyun's family emblem in an ancient book called "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". He was a carefree man,

But for the first time, I studied an obscure and bizarre ancient book seriously for a long time. It is recorded in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas·Western Mountains" that "Two hundred and sixty miles to the west is called Mount Gui. There are beasts on it.

It looks like a cow with hedgehog hair, and its name is Qiongqi. Its sound is like that of a bulldog, and it is a cannibal." It is also recorded in "Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Bei Jing" that "Qiong Qi looks like a tiger, has wings, and cannibalizes people from the beginning."

The food is distributed to the north of the dog. One day is sufficient."

No matter what kind of rhetoric it is, it is a ferocious and cruel ancient beast, the incarnation of the most evil thing.

At that time, he had doubts in his heart. His friend had lived an upright life and was a real gentleman. Why was there such an unlucky thing inexplicably engraved on his family emblem?

"This is Qiongqi. In some legends, it is one of the four ancient ferocious beasts." Xiao Yibai explained lightly, stroking the eyes of the ferocious beast on the family emblem with his slender fingers, and reminded with a low smile, "Marshal doesn't think this is the case.

Do the eyes of a ferocious beast look familiar?"

Si Tian took a breath of cold air and subconsciously touched the white sword at hand. Xiao Yibai pointed at the family emblem calmly, then raised his hand and placed it under his eyelids, with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "

The ancestor of the Xiao family is a ferocious beast, but it is different from most alien races. It has not experienced tens of thousands of years of racial evolution, but unexpectedly acquired another kind of supreme divine power, and was directly reborn into

He has become a real 'person', so the family emblem of Tianzheng Mansion is such a sinister thing."

"Ancestor..." Si Tian couldn't understand the true meaning of his words for a moment. He just lowered his head seriously and connected the abnormal changes in his friends over the years bit by bit.

Back then, he was still the master of the military pavilion, and Xiao Lingyun was the most proud general under him. He had always unabashedly regarded him as his successor, and consciously and deliberately cultivated his colleagues in the short few years before resigning.

Here, he discovered that when encountering danger, Xiao Lingyun would burst out with terrifying power in an instant, which was indeed not something that humans should have!

It turned out to be the power of ferocious beasts, and the Xiao family... was actually a foreign race? Why didn't anyone notice it under the eyes of the imperial family for so many years?

Seeing the doubt in his eyes, Xiao Yibai just caressed the family crest carefully, as if that old little thing was a priceless treasure, and sighed: "That kind of supreme power comes from the heaven, that original bird

The evil beast Qiongqi at the beginning swallowed a god, replaced everything about him, and began to live anonymously in this land with a new identity. The reason why the royal family could not detect the alien aura in the Xiao family was precisely because they were

This divine power from heaven has concealed it.”

"Go to heaven!" Si Tian's eyes flashed with a string of sharp snow lights when he heard these three, and he calmly suppressed his emotions in an instant. Xiao Yibai let out a long breath, feeling helpless, "He

Feiyuan lived like an ordinary person, leaving behind his own descendants, and had been instilling the consciousness of concealing his identity deep in his bones and blood. It was not until his sudden death hundreds of years ago that this suppressed bloodline was revealed bit by bit.

, the Xiao family rescued the then emperor and were granted great merit. They finally obtained the right to live in the imperial capital and became the new dignitaries."

Xiao Yibai turned his eyes slightly, as if observing the other person's expression, and saw Si Tian holding his chin without saying a word. The weather-beaten face showed a deep meaning that he could not see through at all, and continued: "The bloodline of the ferocious beast is getting more and more...

The harder it becomes to control, the first characteristic that is revealed is the acquisition of these ice-blue eyes."

"..."

"But until me, they concealed it very well. After all, once the bloodline is exposed, the Xiao family will be regarded as a humble alien and lose their status as a noble in the imperial capital. So even if this power is so powerful, my

The ancestors are still trying to hide it at all costs." Xiao Yibai evoked a strange smile, more like he was mocking himself and shook his head. He stared at the family emblem in a daze. After a while, he raised his eyes and took a serious look.

Xiang Sitian said word for word: "The first time my bloodline lost control, it happened to me. When I was young, I used the evil soul-splitting method from the Bai Cult on myself, and separated one of my souls.

He stayed with Mingxi, but as a result, he became increasingly out of control, until... the night when the family was exterminated eight years ago."

Si Tian had a sullen face. Even though he had roughly guessed the truth of the matter in his mind, he still didn't want to believe the facts. He just listened quietly and waited for him to say it himself.

"I killed my whole family." Xiao Yibai blurted out that tragic history in just five words. He took a sip of wine and felt soreness rising in his throat.

Si Tian suddenly raised his eyes, and there was still a brief blank in his mind. When he came back to his senses, he found that his hand was holding the Baidi Sword tightly, and Xiao Yibai was still like a plain outsider, without any expression.

Showing every trace of sadness.

Why can it be so calm? Is the essence of the ferocious beast an indifferent, cold-blooded monster?

"Fengji saved me." Xiao Yibai continued, his tone still calm and without any waves, "Because the leader of the Bailings suddenly intervened, even the senior officials of the Imperial Capital were reluctant to directly conflict with her, and Mingxi

Through secret mediation, the storm of this matter was suppressed. I know that the ANBU has been investigating the truth over the years, trying to contain Tianzheng Mansion and Mingxi, but those past events that were burned by the Spirit Phoenix Fire simply did not exist.

There won't be any trace left, they've been wasting their efforts."

"Oh?" Si Tian finally made a sound of doubt, his thoughts and vision gradually became clearer, "So why are you showing off with me now?"

"Because I don't want to waste the marshal's power on ANBU." Xiao Yibai said bluntly, his eyes suddenly filled with a hint of terror, "Because of my loss of control eight years ago, Qianye who was far away in Kunlun in the Central Plains was actually affected.

Serious impact, and he not only awakened the bloodline of the ferocious beast Qiongqi, but also completely awakened the original person. Didn't you just ask me why my eyes are the same as my father's, and his eyes are different from ours?

?The reason is here.”

"You mean, he...has the power of heaven?" Si Tianjing's expression changed, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Maybe I should change my words." Xiao Yibai stood up, straightened his shoulders, and said seriously, "The Xiao family is a special alien race. The heaven above calls this family the 'ancient race'."

Si Tian sat down slumped the moment he stood up. He pressed his eyes with all his strength with his hands in disbelief, trying to restrain the uncontrollable trembling in his eyes - an ancient species! It turned out to be an ancient species! He once said in private

After investigating some things about the late emperor, the three words "ancient race" were strange and familiar to him. He knew that people of this clan were related to the broken earth line of Feiyuan, but he didn't know why the late emperor was searching for them so hard.

"Let Mingxi explain this part of the matter to you later. Maybe it can help you better understand what the late emperor did." Xiao Yibai seemed a little anxious, and did not want to waste more words on this kind of issue, so he continued,

"The Marshal must have heard that during the battle in the Imperial Capital ten days ago, two gods from the heavenly realm came to Feiyuan and almost razed the entire Imperial Capital to the ground. If the late emperor had not noticed the secret plan in advance, I am afraid that the current Tianyu City would have been a

It’s a dead city, but the Heaven Realm is so powerful, turning one’s hands into clouds and turning one’s hands into rain. How many more times will this conspiracy happen, how long can Feiyuan be safe and stable?”

Si Tian gritted his teeth and suddenly changed his face. He once again recalled the shocking change ten days ago. The late emperor suddenly died and the crown prince succeeded to the throne without any suspense. In his opinion, all this was just a long-planned coup.

It turns out that the heavenly realm is involved!

No wonder Xiao Yibai would say that he didn't want to waste his power on dealing with Anbu. Compared with the heavenly realm far away in the nine heavens, which is related to the survival of Feiyuan, the internal strife of Anbu for power is nothing!

"What do you want me to do?" After a long time, the eyes of the unshaven uncle in front of him shrank a little, and his tone actually reappeared the proud demeanor of the past. Xiao Yibai nodded, spread his palms in front of him, and said with a wry smile, "Not really.

To be honest, I am not much different from ordinary people now. Not to mention protecting Ming Xi, I am afraid that even protecting myself is not enough. I hope you can stay in Tianyu City to at least ensure his safety."

Si Tian looked at his palm meaningfully, where there was a bunch of white spiritual power that could never be gathered, swaying as if it would collapse at any time.

"Mingxi will have other arrangements regarding the affairs of the Heavenly Realm and the Anbu." Xiao Yibai added. Before he could relax, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared from the corner of Si Tian's lips, "Tianzheng Mansion has been destroyed in

If the Feng family also gets involved with the Anbu...will you personally exterminate the family?"

"Feng Family?" Xiao Yibai's reaction was obviously much colder than that of his younger brother Xiao Qianye. His eyes were still emotionless and he sneered, "If they really have something to do with ANBU, Marshal thinks Mingxi will let them go easily.

?”

Si Tian was slightly startled, and was restrained by his tone. He pursed his lips. Even if internal and external troubles were imminent, with the personality of the new emperor, he should ruthlessly eradicate the Anbu and eliminate future troubles, right?

"Not to mention me, have the Feng family ever cared about my younger brother?" Xiao Yibai gave a short chuckle, and for a moment he was deeply hurt by some inexplicable emotion. "As early as when we were studying in the Eighth Hall of Military Aircraft, the two of us

His uncle deliberately alienated other students and isolated him by using his position as the chief lecturer. Why did the Ordnance Department give priority to providing a large amount of new equipment to the Imperial Army? If according to the marshal's intention, the Feng family and the Anbu have a deeper relationship, then they

What he did is even less worthy of forgiveness.”

"Do you hate them so much?" Si Tian looked at him in surprise. This usually calm person really showed unprecedented disgust at this moment. Before he even had time to tell him about Feng Siniang, his face

There was already obvious impatience.

"Before, the late emperor secretly ordered the arrest of Qianye." Xiao Yibai was suddenly silent for a moment, and just sighed, "The Anbu sent people from the Dengxian Dao near Baijiao to use cartilage poison to plot against him, and then ambushed Bailang Zheng on the Weixue Plateau.

Huo Cang even did not hesitate to kill the innocent Xixue Valley owner. Qianye still has the wounds from that time. It was the controlled Huo Cang who stabbed him through the abdomen. If he hadn't possessed the Heaven Realm,

With the blessing of divine power, that kind of injury is enough to kill him!"

"..."

"Huo Cang also broke an arm because of this. He is still recovering from his injuries in Xuecheng. The surviving orphan girls in Xixue Valley are also homeless."

Si Tian sighed helplessly, and the alien village of Dongming that was good at brewing appeared in front of his eyes. Those women who refused to close their eyes and exposed their bodies were obviously just unarmed ordinary people. How can you, Si Niang, have such a hard heart to indulge your subordinates?

People do such unscrupulous things!

"If the Feng family really has something to do with the Anbu, and has even been helping them deal with Qianye..." Xiao Yibai sneered, showing a disdainful expression, and said viciously, "Then they should be lucky that I had an accident and became an ordinary person.

People, otherwise if they fall into my hands, I will definitely ask them to repay you ten times or a hundred times!"

Si Tian's expression was stern, and he was also startled by the hatred on his face. Xiao Yibai interrupted his thoughts, his voice gradually became sharper, and he continued: "Also, the Anbu has detained some experimental subjects, and their whereabouts are still unknown. This

There are some difficult aliens among them.”

"Oh?" Si Tian's eyes darkened. There were indeed only women in that alien village. Men, the elderly and children were all missing.

"Do you know why Mingxi spared Governor Gao and didn't take action?" Xiao Yibai opened his mouth with a complicated expression, "It's because of the group of unaccounted for test subjects. You may not know what kind of monsters they are. Previously, they were bound to King Water.

The Lingyin clan who escaped from prison could even destroy the Tianzhiya Water Prison in the North Coast City by themselves, causing the sea demon Cangshao to escape, and hundreds of thousands of people died. If there were more such dangerous and uncontrollable subjects,
