Liuyun City, Xiao Clan.
"Grandpa, my seventh sister has been pregnant for three months, but she has not yet told my parents. So, today I am going to go with my seventh sister to pay homage to my parents. Their spirits in heaven will surely be very happy."
Xiao Yun and Number Seven Under Heaven stood in front of Xiao Lie, both of them with joy on their faces. During this time in Floating Cloud City, without the two families and other messy ties, it was the most relaxing and enjoyable time for the newlyweds... not to mention the huge surprise in the seventh sister's belly.
"Haha, that couldn't be better." Xiao Lie nodded with a smile.
“I want to go too.” Xiao Lingxi came over and said with a smile, “My brother and sister-in-law’s spirits in heaven will definitely bless the baby…”
"Fifth Elder, Ling...Uncle Lingxi..."
At this moment, a hurried shout came from outside. Then, a young disciple of the Xiao Sect ran in hurriedly with a panicked look.
"What's the matter? Why are you so panicked?" Xiao Lie frowned.
“Yes… it’s Fen Juechen!” The Xiao Clan disciple stopped and gasped for breath without even bothering to salute.
“Fen Juechen!?”
This name startled everyone present. Number One Under Heaven quickly stepped forward and asked, "Could it be that Fen Juechen is unwilling to give up and has come back to seek revenge?"
“No… no.” The Xiao Clan disciple hurriedly shook his head, gasping for breath and saying, “Someone… found him… He was lying in the east of the city… covered in blood… He seemed… to be… about to… die, and none of us dared to get close…”
Fen Juechen, in Floating Cloud City, especially in the Xiao Clan, was definitely an extremely terrifying name... although it was he who protected Floating Cloud City from being trampled by the Divine Phoenix Army.
“Ah!?” Xiao Lingxi exclaimed and ran over quickly: “Quick…quickly, take me to see it!”
“Lingxi!” Xiao Lie stretched out his hand, but before he could say anything to stop her, Xiao Lingxi had already rushed out of the yard.
"Don't worry, I'll go and take a look right away. Since Fen Juechen is seriously injured and dying, he naturally poses no threat." The number one in the world said, then floated up and was about to chase after him.
“Although Fen Juechen has an extreme temperament, he is not a bad person by nature. He has done great favors to me, Lingxi, and even the entire Floating Cloud City… Alas.” Xiao Lie sighed heavily.
"..."The number one in the world soared into the sky, raising a gust of breeze and flew straight to the south.
"I'll send a message to brother right away." Xiao Yun took out the voice transmission jade in a hurry.
Xiao Lie reached out his hand, held Xiao Yun's arm, shook his head and said, "Leave this matter to Lingxi. Che'er is a relative, and Fen Juechen is a benefactor... Lingxi has been kind and kind since she was a child. She must be very afraid of seeing the two of them meet, a life-and-death situation..."
"But, that is the hatred of genocide... How can it be resolved..." Xiao Lie closed his eyes and let out another long sigh.
——————————
In the east of Liuyun City, Fen Juechen's black clothes were already tattered and almost covered with layers of dried blood.
Although he was severely injured and defeated by Yun Che two days ago, with his current physique, within two days, as his profound strength recovers, his injuries will improve to a certain extent, and will not get worse. He originally wanted to stay away from Floating Cloud City after leaving the East China Sea that day, and find a deserted place to fully recover his injuries and profound strength. However, after he was severely injured by Yun Che, he encountered Jasmine's soul search with the power of the Star God... Although Jasmine's soul search would not turn him into a living dead like ordinary soul search techniques, it was definitely not a simple reading like Yun Che's Xuan Gang Soul Capture. In addition, Jasmine's Star God power was extremely domineering. Although it was only a few short moments, it still caused Fen Juechen's heart and soul to suffer heavy damage.
If it weren't for his willpower that far surpassed that of ordinary people, he would have died in the East China Sea long ago.
His profound strength was almost exhausted, and his body and soul were both severely injured. He tried his best to escape from the East China Sea, climbed up the coast, and crawled all the way here... But he himself didn't know where he was, and only a desire to not die supported him painfully.
Soon, the people of Liuyun City discovered him and all retreated far away in fear. No one dared to approach him, let alone help him... Even for Fen Juechen now, an ordinary child could easily take his life.
"I...can't...die..."
He lay prone on the ground, so weak that he could no longer feel his breathing. He wanted to continue crawling, but he was no longer able to lift his arms. Only hoarse and muffled words came out of his mouth, proving that his consciousness had not yet collapsed.
“Fen…Brother Fen!”
Xiao Lingxi rushed over in a hurry. She was shocked by Fen Juechen's current appearance. She hurried to Fen Juechen's side and called out anxiously, "Brother Fen, Brother Fen..."
Xiao Lingxi's voice struck Fen Juechen's soul hard... Perhaps for Fen Juechen at this moment, only Xiao Lingxi's voice could make his chaotic soul somewhat clear and awake. He turned his head tremblingly, and Xiao Lingxi's face appeared in his misty vision...
“It’s… you…”
"Yes! It's me... It's me, Xiao Lingxi!" Seeing that he was not dead and could still speak, Xiao Lingxi felt relieved. She stretched out her hand, trying to help him up, but as soon as her hand touched Fen Juechen's arm, she withdrew it like lightning...
Because his arms were as cold as ice.
"Don't go near him!"
The number one in the world fell from the sky. Although Fen Juechen's current state was not much different from that of a dead person, his expression was still full of vigilance: "This person is too dangerous."
“Big Brother Tianxia!” The arrival of Tianxia Number One was undoubtedly the greatest savior for Xiao Lingxi: “Help him quickly. He is seriously injured. If you don’t help him, he will…will be in danger.”
"Save him?" Number One Under Heaven frowned, "He is an extremely dangerous guy who wants to kill Brother Yun! I really want to kill him now and eliminate the trouble forever."
“No!” Xiao Lingxi quickly raised her footsteps and stood in front of Number One Under Heaven. “Brother Fen is not a bad person. He is really not a bad person. He wanted to kill Xiao Che… The root cause was all because of me. It was not his fault. On the contrary, he saved my life twice. During the period when the Divine Phoenix Army occupied the city, he also kept Floating Cloud City peaceful. Otherwise, who knows how many people would have died at the hands of the Divine Phoenix Army.”
Number One in the World: “…”
"So, please, Big Brother Tianxia, save him. Just consider it as... just consider it as repaying his kindness. Big Brother Tianxia, please..."
Xiao Lingxi's eyes were filled with pleading.
Although Fen Juechen's spiritual sense was extremely weak at the moment, he was still able to hear the voices of Xiao Lingxi and Number One Under Heaven. His lips trembled and he made a hoarse and painful sound: "Don't worry about me... You don't need to... worry about me... Uh..."
He stretched out his hand tremblingly and tried to crawl away from here, but his entire arm only moved half an inch and could no longer move.
“Big Brother…” Xiao Lingxi begged again.
“Alas!” Number One Under Heaven waved his hand, signaling her not to continue. He glanced at Fen Juechen at his feet, his expression complicated, and then he sighed: “At the end of the battle two days ago, although Brother Yun’s profound strength was greatly depleted, he was in excellent condition and should have been able to kill him, but he let him go… It seems that perhaps Brother Yun didn’t really want to let him die.”
"Never mind, I hope I'm not doing something stupid."
Although Number One Under Heaven was naturally warlike, as an elf, he was kindhearted and did not like to kill. Moreover, Xiao Lingxi's plea was hard for him to refuse. After a struggle between heaven and man in his heart, he finally reached out his hand, and a ball of pure natural power condensed in his palm.
The tension on Xiao Lingxi’s face turned into a light smile, and she said gratefully, “Thank you, Big Brother Tianxia.”
“However, if he does anything that I deem dangerous, I will kill him immediately!” Number One Under Heaven said solemnly.
“No, he definitely won’t do that. I know better than anyone that he is definitely not a bad person.” Xiao Lingxi said with absolute certainty.
Number One in the World stopped talking, squatted down, and pressed his palm on the back of Fen Juechen's heart... The moment he touched, his brows moved violently, and then the natural breath quickly flowed into his body.
"Don't... touch me!" Fen Juechen growled in disgust and anger.
"Hmph, your kindness is taken for granted." Number One Under Heaven snorted impatiently. After losing a stream of natural power, he quickly withdrew it, stood up, and didn't look at Fen Juechen again. The natural power he lost to Fen Juechen could help his severely injured body recover quickly, and it could also speed up the healing of his injuries to a certain extent, but it would not speed up the recovery of his profound strength. With Fen Juechen's current state, even if he regained his ability to move, he would not be able to pose a threat to him for a long time.
Under the magical power of the spirit, Fen Juechen's eyes gradually regained clarity, and even his breathing became noticeably heavier. Xiao Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Tianxia Digit with gratitude: "Big Brother Tianxia, thank you... Could you please take him to Xiaomen? He is in this state now, and he must have a safe place to recover."
Number One Under Heaven looked at Xiao Lingxi deeply, and was not surprised by her decision. He nodded slightly, stretched out his hand to grab Fen Juechen by the collar, and then flew directly into the air, carrying him and flying straight to Xiaomen.
————————————
During the time that Fen Juechen stayed in Liuyun City, he lived in a courtyard in the corner of Xiaomen. After he left, no one dared to approach that courtyard. Tianxia Diyi threw him directly from the window into the room in that courtyard, and then turned around and left. He was not a person who would act on impulse. Rescuing an extremely dangerous and terrifying person and bringing him to himself and his relatives was something he should never do... However, if he didn't save him, Xiao Lingxi would find ways to bring him back, and the process would be extremely difficult. Instead of doing that, it would be better for him to do it himself.
It was even more impossible to kill Fen Juechen in front of her... Besides, Yun Che did not kill him two days ago.
However, although he turned and left, he did not actually go far. His spiritual sense was still firmly locked on the courtyard where Fen Juechen was, alert to any accidents.
"Brother Fen, how are you now? Are you feeling better?"
Under the power of nature, the best in the world, Fen Juechen's five senses had been largely restored, and his body had also regained some strength, but it seemed that it was still not enough for him to stand up. Xiao Lingxi squatted beside him and asked with concern.
"You... don't have to... care about me..." Fen Juechen turned his head away. Just one sentence consumed a lot of his energy. He had long been numb to the severe pain in his body and soul. Now that his profound strength was exhausted and his body was seriously injured, the pain was much lessened.
"What happened to your injuries? Did you encounter enemies again after that day with Xiao Che?" Xiao Lingxi asked softly. Everyone in Liuyun City was afraid of him. People in the Xiao Clan would feel as if they saw a demon when they saw him, and some would even be frightened to the point of losing control of their bladders. Only Xiao Lingxi had never been afraid of him, because she had always firmly believed that he was not a bad person.
Hearing Yun Che’s name from Xiao Lingxi’s mouth, Fen Juechen’s pupils suddenly shrank, and a fierceness surged in his eyes: “I’ve already said… you don’t have to… care about me!”
He roared, and suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Lingxi on the shoulder. Xiao Lingxi whimpered and suddenly sat down on the ground.
Fen Juechen gasped violently, and a moment of confusion flashed across his eyes... It seemed that he had not expected that he had recovered so much strength.
Facing Fen Juechen's two scoldings, anger, hostility and rudeness, Xiao Lingxi was not afraid, nor did she get angry or retreat. She stood up and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Fen, I know you are always unwilling to rely on others. But now that you are injured like this, don't be stubborn. Just stay here and heal your injuries first."
"I'll go find some medicine to heal your wounds. Although our Xiao Clan is small, we have some very good medicinal herbs stored here, which will definitely help your wounds...Brother Fen, you should have a good rest first. I'll come back in two hours."
Xiao Lingxi said this softly, then stood up, slowed down her pace and left.
The girl left, the door closed, Fen Juechen was stunned, his eyes were dull, and for a moment he seemed to have lost his soul. After a long time, he raised his head, leaned against the cold wall behind him, and slowly clenched his hands...
“The hatred of exterminating a clan is irreconcilable… Yun Che… I must kill you… no matter what… no matter what!!”
As soon as Xiao Lingxi walked out of the courtyard where Fen Juechen was placed, she saw Number One Under Heaven standing there with a solemn expression.
“Big Brother Tianxia, please… don’t tell Xiao Che about Fen Juechen for now.”
“I know.” Number One Under Heaven nodded. “However, the premise is that he is not strong enough to threaten me. If his profound strength recovers to a level that is beyond my control, he will either leave or… I will tell Brother Yun.”
“Yes.” Xiao Lingxi nodded gently and said gratefully, “Thank you, Big Brother Tianxia.”
Number One Under Heaven smiled faintly and shook his head: "No need to thank me. You are the person Brother Yun cherishes the most, so you have the right to be willful." He paused, and then said: "You should know that if he dies, Brother Yun will have one less big threat. And if you save him, Brother Yun will have one more death threat. Are you... trying to resolve his hatred for Brother Yun?"
“I know it’s very difficult.” Xiao Lingxi lowered her head and murmured softly, “But, after all, he saved me, my father, and Floating Cloud City, and he is definitely not a bad person. His tragedy was also caused by me. I can’t just sit back and watch. I only hope… I only hope…”
"I hope it will be as you wish." Number One Under Heaven said lightly, then flew away.
“Alas.” Turning back to glance at Xiao Lingxi’s frail figure, he recalled the intense, icy hatred and murderous intent that Fen Juechen had when facing Yun Che. Number One Under Heaven sighed, “That was a hatred that would exterminate a clan. The word “unforgivable” is not enough to describe it. How could it be resolved?”
Time was quickly approaching dusk. After Xiao Lingxi came out of the medicine pavilion, she quickly walked to the courtyard where Fen Juechen was.
After pushing the door open, Fen Juechen still maintained his previous posture. His aura seemed to have calmed down a lot, his eyes were half open, and he was not asleep, but he did not react to Xiao Lingxi's arrival.
"Brother Fen, are you feeling better?"
Xiao Lingxi approached, holding a black soup bowl in her hand: "This is the freshly boiled medicinal soup. The elder of the medicine pavilion said it can invigorate the blood and restore vitality..."
Before Xiao Lingxi could finish her words, the lifeless Fen Juechen suddenly slapped the soup bowl in Xiao Lingxi's hand and threw it to the ground. It shattered with a "bang" and the soup spilled everywhere.
“Ah!!” Xiao Lingxi screamed and took a step back, panicking, “Brother Fen, you… it’s okay, I’ll go make another bowl.”
"I'll say it again... Don't bother me!!"
After two hours of rest, Fen Juechen's voice had become a little stronger, and his tone became deeper: "Before dark today, I will leave here, and from now on... I will never see you again!"
“No!” Xiao Lingxi shook her head and said anxiously, “You are so badly injured. If you encounter any danger outside, you might die. At least… at least you should heal your wounds here first.”
“You… do you know what you are doing?!” Fen Juechen raised his head fiercely, his teeth clenched tightly together: “I live to kill Yun Che! If I die, he can live longer, isn’t that what you want! Why did you save me?!”
Xiao Lingxi shook her head: “No. I don’t want anything to happen to Xiao Che, but I can’t just stand by and watch…”
“Do you think that if you saved me, I will be grateful and not kill Yun Che?” Fen Juechen gnashed his teeth and roared, “Don’t be naive! All these years, everything I have worked hard for, everything I have endured, is to kill him! I am still desperately living now, also to kill him... In this world, no one and nothing can stop me from killing him! As long as I am still alive in this world, I will do everything to make him die!”
Fen Juechen's words hit Xiao Lingxi's chest like a hammer. She endured the pain and said softly, "Brother Fen, I have always known that you are not a bad person. On the contrary, you are a very good person. What happened back then was Xiao Che and I's fault for you. But I believe you have always known in your heart that Xiao Che is not a bad person, nor a cruel person. What he did that year was to protect me and my father... Can the grudge between you really not be resolved? Why must it be like this..."
"Resolve? That's the hatred of annihilating the clan!!" Fen Juechen's face twitched in pain: "The hatred of killing my father is irreconcilable, and he... killed all my relatives and wiped out my entire clan! It was he who made me lose my relatives and my home, and became a lonely ghost who only lives for revenge! This hatred is so great... How can it be resolved! What reason is there to resolve it!!"
“No!” Xiao Lingxi shook her head heavily. She placed her hands on her chest and looked into Fen Juechen’s terrifying eyes that were filled with hostility. Her eyes were sincere and warm. “Who said that Big Brother Fen has no family and home? Big Brother Fen is definitely not alone.”
Under Fen Juechen's stunned gaze, Xiao Lingxi gently knelt on one knee, raised her head high, and looked devoutly: "The heavens are my witness. I, Xiao Lingxi, wish to worship Brother Fen Juechen as my brother. From now on, Brother Fen is my brother, and I will share happiness and hardships with Brother Fen. My home, Xiao Lingxi, is Brother Fen's home. As Brother Fen's sister, I will try my best to take care of Brother Fen, listen to him, care about him, accompany him, and take responsibility for him, so that Brother Fen will never be alone again."
"If you disobey, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
Pious words, solemn oath. Fen Juechen's eyes trembled violently as Xiao Lingxi slowly lowered her hand. Everything in front of him was hazy and trance-like, as if he was in a dream. Then his body and even his soul began to tremble violently, unable to stop...
Brother...sister...
Relatives...
