Chapter 118 Ah, previous life?
Helan Wei's name is very simple.
His surname is Helan, and his given name is Wei.
The word "wei" does not have any special meaning, it is taken from its literal meaning: high.
A name is not given at birth.
The Helan family is a very strange place.
He is the head of a family of cultivators, and his family is prosperous and large, with many retainers and hordes of slaves.
The head of the Helan family, Helan Mingci, Helan Wei's father, had many wives and concubines, and even more children.
It's not because he is greedy for women, but because he is a very strange person.
He had been seriously injured in his early years, so his health was not good. Although he had a high level of cultivation, his life span was very short. He seemed to be obsessed with maintaining the prosperity of his family. It might be because he was an enemy of another aristocratic family and they were fighting each other. The strength of the two families was almost the same, and the Helan family was slightly better. He wanted the Helan family to be the head of the aristocratic family forever and suppress that other family.
Perhaps Helan Mingci knew that his life span was limited.
Maybe there were other reasons, but in short, he desperately wanted to give birth to a child with excellent bones and physique, a child with immortal roots.
At that time, this child will inherit the Helan family.
So how many children did Helan Mingci have?
Helan Wei actually didn't know either.
When he was young, he was called the Twenty-Ninth Young Master by the people in the mansion, and he didn't even have a proper name.
Under him, there are countless brothers and sisters, and none of them have names.
He couldn't even count how many brothers and sisters he had, and none of them had a name.
Helan Mingci simply wanted a child of exceptional talent, like completing a piece of art or an assignment. He didn't consider children human. If they didn't meet his expectations, he'd just toss them out in the backyard. Name them? What name? Was a worthless piece of junk worth his time? They should just fend for themselves.
So when Helan Wei was young, he actually lived a very humble life for quite a long time.
He has never seen his father.
His biological mother was called Mrs. Yi.
He had met Mrs. Yi.
Children in the clan didn't live with their wives, so his brothers and sisters would secretly visit their mother, and he would also secretly go to Madam Yi. His brothers told him that their mother loved them all, but when he went to Madam Yi, she pointed at his nose and scolded him, asking why she had given birth to such a useless little thing after all the hard work. So much so that Helan Mingci felt she was useless, took in other concubines, and never looked at her again.
So deformed.
The young Twenty-Nineth Young Master looked up and thought, it turned out that his father did not love him and his mother had some resentment towards him.
The reason is simple, because he is a useless thing, a little waste.
His food supply was limited, and often he would have to wait several days before he could eat a piece of bread.
He went to the servants and cooks in the mansion to ask for some food and clean water.
However, the servants in the mansion were too lazy to pay attention to him and told him to eat whatever was available. After all, a child who was left to fend for himself was not treated as a human being, but just abandoned waste, even lower than a slave.
This kind of life continued until the year he started to learn.
The root bones in his body seemed to suddenly awaken, making people realize that his root bones were actually excellent and he had a destiny to become an immortal.
So Helan Mingci took him back to the main house of the Helan family.
When taking him to test his spiritual roots, Helan Mingci's face was about to break with laughter, as if his obsession had finally come true.
From then on, Helan Mingci kept him by his side, acknowledging him as his only child. He named him Helan Wei. Wei means high. He wanted to be high and mighty, to lead the Helan family to be high and mighty forever.
What about his other brothers and sisters?
Helan Mingci waved his hand, and these children who were left to fend for themselves all became slaves of the Helan family.
Helan Wei asked him why he did this.
Helan Mingci touched his head and said, "A bunch of lowly things, just a bunch of waste. Waste should continue to be lowly."
He looked at Helan Wei as if he were looking at a satisfactory work of art. "You are my father's most satisfied child, his only child. The Helan family can only belong to you. Those people are too lowly, not worthy of being your brothers and sisters. If you don't make them slaves, I'm afraid they will really think of themselves as things. What will happen if they compete with you for power in the future?"
Helan Wei was a little timid at that time.
He actually didn't quite understand why Helan Mingci could do such a thing and say such words.
The servants all smiled and said to him, of course it’s because your father loves you, and he does this because he loves you.
From the moment he was brought to the main house, everyone began to love him.
His father began to love him.
Helan Wei asked him, "You love me, why didn't you come to see me before?"
Helan Mingci said, "Because lowly people don't deserve to be loved. You were buried in the lowly soil back then. How could I love a useless child? But you have good roots and a destiny to become an immortal. You are different from other children. Now your father loves you."
Mrs. Yi began to love him.
After he was taken to the main house, she ran to find him, threw herself on him and hugged him: "I am your mother."
Young Helan Wei tilted his head and looked at her in confusion.
Madam Yi said, "I put so much effort into giving birth to you. You're the rightful heir because of me. I didn't mean to call you useless. What mother doesn't love her child? Do you think I harbor ill intentions towards you?"
Helan Wei was convinced: "No, it's not..."
Madam Yi said, "Then you must treat me well. Go and tell your father to take me to the main house and send away the other women in the backyard. Do you understand?"
His brothers and sisters who had been reduced to slaves began to love him.
His twelfth brother, who had previously ignored him, secretly tugged at the corner of his robe and said, "I treat you as my younger brother. I once gave you a piece of cake. Please take me to the main house. We are brothers now!"
Twenty-nine, the 20th sister said the same thing, almost exactly: "You and I share the same blood, we are blood relatives, we are siblings. Twenty-nine, don't you remember when we were little, I took you to secretly visit Madam Yi?"
like……
What is love?
Then when you are older.
The servants also began to love him.
He had just turned thirteen, and he was surrounded by many maids of all kinds. One night, he opened the bed curtains and saw the maid who served tea in the yard buried in the quilt, revealing her face and smiling at him.
He was so frightened that he turned and ran away.
He was still young and didn't have those thoughts yet. He even developed a certain aversion to women. He would feel sick just by looking at them, let alone touching them.
As time went by, he drove away more and more women, and he simply stopped allowing women to serve him close to him.
The woman couldn't get close to him, so the male servant next to her started to have some ideas.
Men and women all say the same thing, because they admire the young master and want to be his close friend or his partner, it is because they admire him and love him!
But in the end, all these people were kicked out by him.
He felt a little nauseous looking at the flattery.
When Helan Mingci learned about this, he cut these people into pieces and killed them.
Helan Wei didn't want them to die at first, he just wanted them to get away.
He pleaded,
Helan Mingci said: "Why do you plead for them? Do you have feelings for them?"
Helan Wei moved his lips.
He said, if you raise a dog every day, you will develop feelings for it, right?
These people served him, and even though he hated them for doing that kind of thing, he would not let them die so miserably, and he would always have some sympathy for them.
Helan Mingci said, "How can I feel any emotion or compassion for such lowly people? They deserve to die. They are so lowly, like an ant or a leaf. How can they affect my son's mood?"
oh.
It turns out that lowly people cannot be sympathized with by others.
Lowly people do not deserve to be loved or sympathized. They are like the lowest grass and ants. They can be treated in any way they want. But because they are like grass, they should not be treated as human beings. There is not much difference between them and ants. Why should we develop feelings for an ant or a leaf?
Just take a quick look.
So what is love?
Helan Wei has heard too much about love, family love, friendship and love, which are essentially no different.
Love is everything that is supreme, and because he has all of these, he enjoys too much love. His father loves his bones, his mother loves his status, his servants love his power, and his friends love his strength.
He sometimes felt that so-called love was fake and was just an exchange with a purpose.
But to put it bluntly, isn't that what love is?
Because these things are not possessed by lowly people, they do not deserve to be loved, they are only worthy of being ants and grass.
He knew very well in his heart that if he fell into the dust, no one would love him anymore.
Love is conditional and time-limited. The essence of love is to have a purpose.
So don't be such a lowly person, and don't act in a miserable manner.
Such an attitude will only make him become a worthless thing, to be trampled on and bullied.
So……
What is he doing now?
Helan Wei raised his eyes and saw his own appearance reflected in Xie Yanyu's eyes.
He fell to the ground, covered in blood, crying silently.
He couldn't stop crying, like a poor, lowly creature.
His own face was reflected in the image, but he seemed to see the shadows of many people.
He saw Madam Yi, his twelfth brother, his twentieth sister who had taken him to see Madam Yi when he was young, and the men and women who had tried to climb into his bed but were driven away by him.
So cheap...
So pitiful...
How could he show such an attitude?
Helan Wei knew what he should do.
Now, immediately, he stood up and left, straightening his back and looking casual and arrogant, just as he had done countless times before.
He knew exactly how to do it.
But after a long time.
He heard himself sobbing and asked her in a distorted voice: "Then how can you love me again?"
*
There had been a long silence in the air.
There was only the sound of his suppressed sobs, so quiet that it was almost silent.
Xie Yanyu knew how much he loved to act superior and how arrogant he was in his bones. She found it interesting and wanted to humiliate him, but it might also mean making him angry and touching his reverse scale. It all depended on where his bottom line was.
Her words were a bit harsh. How could such a person listen to such harsh words?
She was waiting for him to go crazy.
She expected him to be angry, to be offended.
But she didn't expect that after being quiet for a long time, he would ask her such a question while crying.
Xie Yanyu was stunned.
Because she was stunned for a moment, she didn't say anything for a while and looked away.
However, the previous words did not completely anger him, but this moment of silence seemed to have angered him.
His beautiful face suddenly twisted, and he stretched out his hand to turn her face over, forcing her to look at him:
"Are you looking at me? Speak! I'm asking you a question. What will it take for you to like me? I can give you a lot of things. I can give you anything you want. I've already told you about getting married. You can't be without money and power. Why do you want to be engaged to Li Xun? Tell me! What do you want?!"
He almost shouted in a suppressed voice.
This guy is really a little crazy.
Xie Yanyu felt a little pain when he pinched her face, so she slapped his hand away.
To prevent him from going crazy again, she held his hand down, then asked in a condescending voice, "You're eager to give it to me. Why, do you love me too?"
What is love?
Love is an interest, a condition, everything that can bring benefits, and it has a purpose.
Helan Wei had been loved by so many people that he knew what love was. So what could he possibly want from her? Power or status? Authority or position? He wanted nothing, so he didn't love her. So why would she ask such a ridiculous question?
He looked at her with a dark gaze, and while crying, he twisted his lips and whispered, "Huh?"
Xie Yanyu: "..."
Xie Yanyu thought he was a little crazy.
He was a little crazy, so she couldn't have a normal conversation. She really wanted to kick him and leave him there, but she did need him.
She also didn't want to have an unproductive argument with him. He wasn't normal right now. Why was she arguing with a madman?
So she sighed and simply raised her hand to wipe his tears.
As a result, the man cried even harder.
She didn't say anything mean now and really didn't bully him.
Xie Yanyu changed his words: "Okay, you don't love me, but you want me to love you."
"I can give you everything, you should love me. And we are already husband and wife, why do you want to marry someone else? What do you want me to love again? Tell me."
A sentence is repeated over and over again.
Helan Wei was paranoid and ferocious, and her tears wet her hands.
Xie Yanyu wiped his tears and tried to manipulate him, guiding him to give something for her: "If you want me to like you, you have to give something equal."
Just as she was thinking about what to say, the next second, this man suddenly broke free from her with strength from nowhere, turned around, hugged her in his arms, held her tightly, panted and asked hysterically in her ear:
"I've paid, what do you want? I made tea for you, and I waited for you for hours in the clan hall! I even drew maps for you. I've never done anything like this for anyone else. Who would dare to ask me to do this? What else do you want? Do you want me to do everything you've done to me?"
"No."
"So what do you want? Tell me."
Xie Yanyu thought about it, then turned to him and said, "I'm going to the Tianyun Secret Realm in a few days. I want one of the magical instruments there."
Her voice was very soft.
Helan Wei was not very clear-headed now, and his mind was extremely confused. He knew that he was talking incoherently, but for a moment he didn't know how to express some words normally. He was saying what he could say and what he couldn't say, what he should say and what he shouldn't say. He was in a very extreme state.
But her words were like a knife, suddenly making him sober up a little.
What is she going to do in Tianyun Secret Realm?
What kind of magical weapon was she looking for in the Tianyun Secret Realm? At this time, no one should know that there were magical weapons in the Tianyun Secret Realm.
In his previous life, after he left the Tianyun Secret Realm, he sent people to investigate and found out that there was a magical weapon in the Tianyun Secret Realm called the Heart Demon Mirror.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong, and his rationality seemed to be pulled back a little, and he began to think slowly.
But my head really hurts.
He held her, realizing that he was doing something very strange, but he didn't really want to let go, so he continued to tighten his grip, holding her tighter: "What kind of magic weapon is that?"
The next second,
Then I heard her answer: "The Heart Demon Mirror."
The sound is still very soft.
But this time it was like a real hammer blow.
Helan Wei's slow thoughts were suddenly cleared up, and there was a roar in his ears for a moment -
She shouldn't know about the Heart Demon Mirror at this time.
What exactly is wrong?
Where did that subtle feeling of strangeness come from after all this time?
Helan Wei moved his fingers and suddenly lowered his eyes to look at her.
Just happened to meet her eyes.
He paused before speaking, "You remember everything from your previous life?"
As soon as these words fell.
Xie Yanyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyes——
ah……
Previous life?
really.
