My older brother can afford to pay exorbitant prices for training courses, become exceptionally talented, and study at world-class universities abroad.
Even if he wanted to buy a guitar simply because of his hobby, he would be strictly forbidden from doing so.
They shared the same birthday, but he never even received a gift. Over time, he stopped celebrating his birthday with his older brother because he knew it was his brother's birthday alone and had nothing to do with him.
In his father's eyes, he was a dispensable person, and even the desire for a little fatherly love was a luxury.
His efforts were constantly denied until he gave up on himself, his personality became twisted and he turned completely evil. After causing trouble, he was kicked out of the Liang family.
He hated that the old man who was his father blamed him for everything, even though none of it had anything to do with him.
"When Liang Chenghu ascended to the throne, Second Master originally had the opportunity to seize all the land, but because he was mindful of brotherly affection, he relinquished the power of the Liang family." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "However, who cares about all that you've done? Has Liang Chengji ever been grateful to you?"
"No, he just used you as a tool to save his own life. You didn't fight him, and you even saved his life, but he took it all for granted, didn't he?"
"Stop talking." Liang Chenghu closed his eyes, his face contorted in pain.
"Some things are true even if I don't say them," Ye Xingchen sighed. "Does someone like Second Master also have to escape reality?"
"Everything you have is something you should fight for. Why did you, Second Master, have to make such a big enemy like me for the sake of others?"
Liang Chenghu suddenly opened his eyes, almost getting caught up in Ye Xingchen's schemes. This guy was his enemy! All he was saying was trying to sow discord between him and Liang Chengji.
He knew that his ability to establish himself in Jinling was undoubtedly due to the support of his elder brother.
The two brothers share both glory and honor. Even if there are setbacks, they cannot allow outsiders to sow discord between them.
With a click, he cocked the gun in his hand and pointed it at Ye Xingchen.
"Hey, Second Master, did I say something wrong?" Ye Xingchen looked at Liang Chenghu in surprise. He thought he was about to succeed, but how did this guy realize it again?
"Ye Xingchen, I almost fell for your trick." Liang Chenghu said coldly, "We are brothers, one on the law and one on the side of justice, we share the same fate. Are you trying to sow discord between me?"
"I'm not trying to sow discord, Second Master, I'm just telling the truth," Ye Xingchen sighed.
"Heh, you can kill me without hesitation, but you won't do it easily because I have the Liang family behind me." Liang Chenghu sneered, "If my elder brother and I really fall out and both of us are seriously injured, then you'll act without hesitation. Do you really think I'll fall for that?"
"Is that really what Second Master thinks?" Ye Xingchen glanced at Liang Chenghu.
"Isn't that the truth?" Liang Chenghu pointed his gun at Ye Xingchen and sneered, "I can't kill you now, but I will never fall for your tricks, because as long as we brothers stay together, you won't dare to touch me."
"Second Master, I think you've misunderstood something." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Even if you brothers don't cause trouble, I won't have any scruples. It's just that cleaning up the mess after I kill you will be a bit of a hassle."
"I'm someone who never plays by the rules. Do you really think I'd have any reservations?"
As soon as Ye Xingchen finished speaking, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he lightly tapped the wine glass in his hand on the table, from which a drop of wine flew out.
With a flick of two fingers and a point forward, a soft "poof" sound was heard as the drop of wine stirred the red wine in the glass, instantly transforming it into three jets of water.
With the support of their true energy, the three water arrows streaked through the void, carrying boundless killing intent as they surged toward Liang Chenghu.
Liang Chenghu felt a chill run through him; he was locked onto by Ye Xingchen's murderous intent and couldn't move an inch.
Just as the three water jets were about to pierce his body, a Buddhist chant rang out: "Amitabha..."
A white shadow flashed, and Ru Xin arrived, stepping through the air. With a flick of his monk's robe, he moved Liang Chenghu's body three feet.
*Puff puff puff...* Three red water arrows narrowly missed Liang Chenghu's body, piercing three holes in a load-bearing stone pillar behind him.
Liang Chenghu felt a chill run down his spine. As expected of a master of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, if those three water arrows had pierced his body, he would probably have been blown in two by now.
With a wave of his arms, a faint golden light filled the room. He stood protectively in front of Liang Chenghu, about three zhang away from Xingchen, the string of eighteen Buddhist beads already hanging in his palm. He was ready to attack.
"It's you again?" Ye Xingchen said with a hint of helplessness when he saw Wuxin.
This monk is truly a formidable opponent. In their previous battle, the two were evenly matched and both suffered some hidden injuries.
Just now, when he was about to kill Liang Chenghu, this guy ran out again. If it weren't for this guy stopping him, Ye Xingchen would probably have succeeded.
"Yes, it's me." Ru Xin smiled slightly: "Benefactor Ye, isn't it a bit inappropriate to attack an ordinary person?"
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. Is Liang Chenghu an ordinary person? Monk, stop joking. Why don’t you say he’s a vulnerable group?” Ye Xingchen said speechlessly.
“You are a celestial being; in your presence, he is just an ordinary person.” Ru Xin sighed and said, “I told you, we have a six-day agreement. Why are you in such a hurry to make your move before the agreed time has even passed?”
"It's not that I'm in a hurry to act, but what Liang Chenghu has done has angered both heaven and man." Ye Xingchen paused and said, "Monk, do you only obey your master's orders and not distinguish between good and evil?"
"Yes and no, it depends on the situation." Ruxin shook her head: "I have practiced Zen for fifteen years. My heart is turned towards Buddha and towards goodness."
"So, are you really going to protect this villain?" Ye Xingchen pointed at Liang Chenghu.
"Good and evil in this world are judged by Heaven, and neither you nor I have the right to decide," Ruxin said.
"Ha, I'm afraid I can't argue with you." Ye Xingchen said, "It's true that good and evil will be punished by Heaven, but Heaven won't take action directly; it will let others take action on its behalf."
“I am acting in accordance with Heaven’s will, therefore I am his divine punishment.”
"You compare yourself to the heavens? Isn't that a bit too much?" Ruxin looked at Ye Xingchen for a long time before speaking.
"Ha, not too much." Ye Xingchen shook his head: "You only know that Liang Chenghu has done evil, but you don't know what evil he has done, right?"
"Yes." Ruxin nodded.
"Don't you want to know?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"I didn't want to, but my senior brother asked me to protect Second Master. My senior brother's words are Master's words, so I have to come," Ruxin said earnestly.
