Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty: Will Parting
Perhaps it was because he hadn't had such a long talk with his only brother for too long, or because there were too many troubles piled up in the mountains that could finally be put down temporarily. After drinking one cup, Xiao Qianye rarely filled himself up again. He was the most annoyed by the smell of wine, but this time he suddenly felt a little addicted. After drinking a few drinks in a row, Xiao Yibai held his hand worriedly and advised: "Although the wine is sake, you will be drunk when you drink so quickly and vigorously. It's almost OK, go to bed early."
Xiao Qianye then rubbed his already dizzy head and looked at him in confusion. Not only did his face not have the blush that was common to drunk people, but he looked slightly pale. He laughed coldly and said indifferently: "Can you take the opportunity to run away if you get me drunk?"
Xiao Yibai frowned helplessly and cursed: "I said I won't leave. Besides, I didn't drink you. It was you who showed off your strength and got yourself drunk."
Xiao Qianye covered his mouth and suddenly felt a disgusting feeling in his chest. The smell of wine that was intoxicated just now became a little pungent. Xiao Yibai raised his hand and touched his forehead. It was still as cold as an ice cave, but he started to sweat. He sighed silently, stood up and pushed the window open a little more, allowing the sea breeze to blow in and dissipate the smell. Xiao Qianye stared at his brother's back in a daze, and couldn't hear clearly what he was talking about.
Xiao Yibai shook his head, stepped forward and helped him up, threw it on the bed next to him, and carefully covered the previous blanket, so that the owner could clean up the dishes.
"I'll do it." Yun Xiao smiled and held him down, took the dishes from his hand, and walked out of the door. He lowered his head and paused after walking out of the room for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "You really won't leave, are you?"
Xiao Yibai turned his face to look at Yun Xiao. Her cheeks reflected the bright moon outside, which was a very serious expression.
He gently pinched a corner of the blanket, nodded and smiled: "Well, I won't leave."
My younger brother was shaking his eyelids in his sleep, and tears kept flashing in the corners of his eyes, while he just sat aside and looked down.
They are twins, and he came to this world only a little earlier than his younger brother. With this little advantage, he regards himself as his elder brother, often teasing him and making fun of him.
It's really interesting... Qian Ye doesn't cry or make a fuss when he is angry, but he just has a serious and stern face at such a young age. It's obvious that his younger brother wants to stubbornly fight with him, but every time he can't help but speak to him first.
After all, the mother refused to marry into Tianzheng Mansion despite family opposition. Although the surging forces behind this were not something that young children could understand, they did feel the feeling of being isolated and neglected.
Since he became sensible, his younger brother was the most important person. He did not like the studies of the Eighth Hall of Military Machinery and the Eighth Hall of Faxiu Halls. Absent from class was accustomed to it, but he would still observe secretly in the dark. If a child from a family deliberately bullies his younger brother, he would use the secret technique to cause trouble for them on the way out of class. Seeing them running away in panic, he hid beside him and smiled at him.
His actions have attracted attention. After all, he was still very young at that time and was still unfamiliar with the mastery of magic.
Suddenly, Xiao Yibai's expression swayed slightly, and scenes of childhood passed away in front of him like a flash of flowers. A strange and familiar face became clearer and clearer.
It was an old man, standing in the dusk, crossing the distant street, maintaining a strange distance, but looking at himself gently.
Xiao Yibai closed his eyes heavily and immediately felt his eyes pierced by an invisible sword. Prefect... Grandpa? Why did he suddenly think of the grandpa who was not close to him at this time?
He didn't like the Feng family, whether it was the prefect, the uncle of the two main lecturers, the third concubine of the famous female technician in the armory, or even the fourth concubine who occasionally came to see the two brothers, he didn't like any of them.
Perhaps due to his emotions, Xiao Qianye opened his mouth in his sleep and suddenly shouted "Mom".
This word made Xiao Yibai's heart tingle and he almost instantly raised his hand and pressed his heart's mouth. He had to use spiritual techniques to forcefully suppress it to relieve the pain.
The fourth aunt was killed by Zhu Yan, and his grandfather was killed by Zhu Yan. He always knew that these things were done by Zhu Yan, but Mingxi was working on people, forcing him to let go of his personal grievances and bury everything deep in his heart.
Xiao Yibai gently brushed his brother's forehead, and he must have known it, so the day when he knocked down Gao Chengchuan did not show any joy, but was left with heavy fatigue.
Qianye has feelings for the Feng family, and he is not as cold as he looks on his face.
How many reasons does Qianye have to use to convince himself in the Tianzheng Mansion’s family extermination case to not blame him, his damn brother?
Even now, he treats him sincerely and tries to protect him regardless of everything, even if he is threatened and exploited.
The night was as cool as water, and the calm sound of the tide on the west coast seemed to cleanse people's hearts. He stayed quietly in front of his sleepy brother's bed until the sky was lit up before the sunlight on the sea line could sting his eyes.
After walking out of the room, Yun Xiao had already woken up. She leaned against the boat alone, looked up at the seabirds flying in the sky. Suddenly, she remembered that this girl could communicate with the birds. Xiao Yibai became interested and leaned over and asked lightly: "My brother and sister got up so early? Could it be that she was talking to these seabirds? "
Yun Xiao heard the sound and looked over. Her face looked bright and charming in the thin morning sunlight. She grinned and smiled happily: "I've been resting for this period. He's drunk, otherwise he should get up now."
Xiao Yibai was a little surprised. After all, the things I heard from Long Yin before were extremely dangerous. However, when he saw Yun Xiao’s smile at this moment, he did not follow the truth and continued to ask. Instead, Yun Xiao stared at him strangely for a long time, and couldn’t help asking curiously: “You haven’t asked where we went and what we did… I was shocked when I saw you yesterday. I thought that you would definitely grab him and chatter and ask nonstop. He was most afraid of trouble. When you asked, he would definitely make excuses to pass by, but in the end… you didn’t ask anything.”
Xiao Yibai smiled, subconsciously raised his head, and said slowly: "I probably know something. A girl from Xuhai sent his sword spirit back before. I heard that you went to heaven to save Feng Ji. I have never cared about his whereabouts, as long as you know that he is safe and sound."
Yun Xiao blinked in surprise, but soon recovered from his coldness. When he met yesterday, he did only ask three words calmly - Are you okay?
They are really a pair of strange brothers. They are obviously very concerned about each other. Every time they meet, they just simply report safety. If they don’t ask any extra words or say one, they will always look cold and indifferent.
When the sky got brighter and brighter, Xiao Yibai kept looking at the sea level silently. The dazzling sunlight showed a gloom in his eyes. The two were chatting, and Yun Xiao was also secretly observing the worry on his face. He would be distracted from time to time, and then pretended to be calm and looked down at his palms. Knowing that it was the soul contact of the soul-shaving technique. Yun Xiao leaned over to him, and suddenly tilted his head and put his face in front of him, giggling: "If you are really worried, just leave when he is not awake. I will help you coax him. Qian Ye is so cool. I will definitely be fine if I take action."
Xiao Yibai came back to his senses, and then he remembered that the girl in front of him had experienced the soul-dividing technique like him, and had lost one soul and one spirit. He forced a smile, grabbed his head and sighed: "That's not possible. He has a bad temper. He wakes up and can't find me. Maybe he will scold you together."
"He dared not scold me." Yun Xiao muttered, Xiao Yibai turned his head and asked curiously, "He really never scolded you? I don't believe it. He had a bad temper when he was a child, so he didn't understand anything like pity and savage."
Yun Xiao's cheeks turned slightly red, and he stammered, "Okay, it can't be considered a scolding me, it's just that when I was a child, I often made mistakes in practicing swordsmanship, and my master asked him to teach me more if I had nothing to do, so I made a mistake, so my master scolded him, and then he came back... and repeated the master's words intact."
Xiao Yibai covered his mouth and felt it was particularly interesting, and he sighed with some envy: "In the first few years of his departure, I was always bored alone. I often hoped that he would come back soon, so that I could have a playmate to pass the time, but when I think about it now, I am really glad that he went to the Central Plains and entered Kunlun. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have met you. He would definitely find a lady with a good match to get married and have children like all the nobles in the imperial capital. Life might be calmer than now, but without you, he would definitely not be happier than now."
Yun Xiao suddenly lost his mind, his expression on his face became light and stiff. He lowered his head and whispered: "Does my brother really think this is good? Actually, when I think about it now, maybe... he still hasn't met me."
"Brother and sister?" Xiao Yibai was slightly shocked. Yun Xiao's lips moved, then bit him tightly, looked at him expressionlessly, and said seriously: "Brother, I am leaving. I don't know where I am going. Maybe it's a very far place, and maybe I can never come back. I dare not tell Qianye, but I think he has noticed it in his heart, but before that day comes, I still want to be with him. No matter what dangers I encounter, I want to be with him."
Xiao Yibai didn't reply, but couldn't make a word at all. Yun Xiao looked up at the flying seabird, but his eyes drifted far away: "He is working hard for his hometown, maybe I can't give up on his hometown."
The two of them were silent at the same time, facing the sea breeze under the sunshine, until Yun Xiao patted his cheeks and came over mysteriously, whispering: "Brother, don't leave him, he looks very strong, but in fact he is also very fragile. You have always been the person he cares about the most, don't leave him."
Xiao Yibai looked at her and slowly responded: "You are the one he cares most. I really hope you can finally get married."
Yun Xiao smiled, his eyes were full of loneliness, and he replied carelessly: "Almost everyone is telling me to leave him, the God Guard of the Glacier Forest, the King of Chi in the Heaven Realm, and the Divine Bird Flying in my hometown. They all said that being with him was against the blood contract and there was no good result, only you... Only you said that you hope we will get married eventually. Thank you, brother, thank you really, I am very happy to hear you say this."
"Yun Xiao..." Xiao Yibai called out softly, and saw her waving her hands and tiptoing to her brother's room. She turned around and made a booing gesture, and chuckled, "Keep it confidential."
