Chapter 244 Old Memories 2
"No friends?" Lu Yi asked with eyes wide open, "How could it be possible that you don't have friends?"
Marquis Klein looked helpless. "I sent someone to inquire about it in detail, and it is indeed true. When Zorn's parents were still alive, he was a quiet child who liked to be alone. He probably had more or less friends, but he didn't have any particularly good friends."
Lu Yi could only accept this result with great disappointment.
"Lu Yi, just do your best in everything. The results are not always what you want." Duke Klein comforted.
He recalled the scene when he found Zorn. The boy who killed his mother with his own hands had a numb expression, as if he would follow the dead person and leave in the next second. Although he was still autistic and indifferent now, he was much better than he was then.
Lu Yi nodded perfunctorily and said “hmm ah ah” while his mind was working rapidly.
Plan A in round one failed, but it doesn’t matter, Lu Yi still has an alternative plan B.
Since there is no ready-made person to care for, just create one on the spot!
First, we eliminated the servants of Klein Manor, then eliminated the Klein couple, leaving only two candidates.
——He and Astor.
So in the following period of time, Zorn found that something was wrong.
His original plan was to be a completely invisible person in Klein Manor until he was older and left here to wander anywhere. The Isaiah continent is so big that every piece of land can be his temporary home.
However, this invisible man plan encountered the biggest obstacle from one day.
First, “suspicious items” appeared in the food.
At first, Zorn thought it was a prank by the hothouse flower young master. He pushed the suspicious objects out of the dishes with an expressionless face, and then calmly chewed and swallowed the normal meal slowly.
He was confident that even if these "suspicious items" were harmful, they would never be fatal. Under the watchful eyes of Marquis Klein, his life would not be in danger. At most, they were just some prank potions.
Besides, what if it is a deadly poison?
Everyone will die eventually. If he was killed by the young master "accidentally", it would be good to create some irreparable rift in the relationship between the father and son.
Zorn admitted that he was a selfish and dark person. He didn't want to see anyone being cheerful and happy in front of him, and he felt like he didn't want to live anymore.
This boring and childish prank lasted for a whole week.
Zuo En also changed from his initial disgust to his current calmness. He was even curious whether there would be a next step. Was this the only trick the young master had? Was it just to disgust him?
Zorn doesn't think that four-year-old children don't have bad intentions. When he was four years old, he watched a nasty kid drown in a ditch. He knows the evil of children very well.
His boring reaction would definitely cause the greenhouse flowers to rebound more violently. At the latest the day after tomorrow, Lu Yi would come to him again. A four-year-old child doesn't have much patience, Zorn thought.
As a result, there was a knock on his door that night.
Little Lu Yi's innocent and clear voice came from outside the door. "Zorn, Zoen, open the door quickly, I have something to tell you!"
Ha, he overestimated this young master, Zorn thought with disdain.
Zorn looked at the closed door indifferently, without any intention of getting up and opening it.
He hadn't spoken to anyone for several days, and didn't want to talk to the spoiled, hateful, empty-headed Xiaohua outside the door. He rejected the interruption of the person outside the door with silence.
The greenhouse flowers outside the door seemed unable to understand his rejection and still knocked on the door stubbornly, sometimes knocking and sometimes clacking, making the door rattle, like his own symphony.
Zorn tried to suppress his inner irritation, but the voice was extremely stubborn. Every time he thought Lu Yi had left, the symphony would start again the next second, as if it would not stop until the door was opened.
Zorn couldn't stand it any longer, so he rushed to the door and opened it.
The next second, Lu Yi's soft little hand patted his chest. When he saw people, he blinked his big eyes and smiled at him ingratiatingly.
For a moment, Zorn even forgot to be angry and was surprised by the ingratiating smile.
He was not flattered, but horrified. Except for Marquis Klein, no one in the entire Klein family had ever treated him with a particularly good look, let alone such a flattering smile. Zorn only suspected that there was a trick behind this.
"Hi, Zorn...Brother." Lu Yi took the initiative to speak. The word "brother" following his name always seemed a bit cautious.
Zorn's expression became even more horrified, and he stared at Lu Yi vigilantly.
"What did you call me?!"
Lu Yi replied innocently: "Brother Zuo En..."
This time my brother called out more naturally.
"Are you possessed by an evil spirit?"
Lu Yi was stunned and asked blankly: "What are you talking about? What evil spirit? Why do you say that I am possessed by an evil spirit?"
He had been in this world for four years, and naturally knew that this was not an ordinary medieval Western world, but a magical continent with magic and gods. However, because he was young and had always stayed in Klein Manor, he had never come into contact with supernatural powers such as magic, monsters, and evil spirits.
When Zorn said this suddenly, Lu Yi felt more curious than offended.
Why do people say he is possessed by an evil spirit?
"Why?" Zorn sneered. After a brief shock, he regained his sanity and said with thorns, "Maybe your laugh just now was too scary, like a demon."
"Really? No way!" Lu Yi frowned in distress, and his chubby face was also wrinkled.
He had looked in the mirror, and in this life, with his blond hair and blue eyes, he was definitely good-looking. There was no way he could be associated with anything scary.
"And since you said it looked like an evil spirit, have you really seen an evil spirit?"
Zoen pulled a malicious smile from the corner of his mouth and said sinisterly: "Of course! Do you know the Abyss? It is full of vicious monsters and beasts, and evil spirits and ghosts are everywhere. What they like most is a thin-skinned and big-bodied human cub like you!
"First, I will peel off your skin piece by piece, and then I will pick off your bones. Do you know that thin knife? I will apply healing potion on it and cut your flesh piece by piece! You will bleed endlessly, but you will not die even if it hurts for a while! If you dare to provoke me again, I will throw you into the abyss! You will never see your father, mother and brother again!"
Zorn tried his best to exaggerate the horror of the abyss, trying to scare the four-year-old Lu Yi into tears.
However, little Lu Yi's reaction was not what he expected. Not only did he not tremble under his intimidation, but he seemed... eager to try?
It was rare for Zorn to feel a little frustrated, considering that he had scared many people with this kind of rhetoric in the past.
Zuo En pursed his lips tightly, stared at Lu Yi for a while and said, "Aren't you afraid?"
Lu Yi shook his head, "I'm not afraid."
"Why?"
"Because Mom, Dad and my brother won't let you succeed."
"What if they die?" Zorn whispered.
"Impossible!" Lu Yi immediately retorted, "Everyone in the Klein family will be safe and live a long life!"
"For a magician, a mere hundred years is really short. Are you cursing them to be short-lived?" Zorn sneered.
"Then five hundred years, one thousand years! Until I grow up, I grow old, and I die! Everyone will be fine!" Lu Yi retorted loudly.
"As long as I'm here, everyone in Klein will be fine!"
Perhaps it was because he was living a new life and his mind was somewhat affected by his current age. Lu Yi could not control his emotions. While he was speaking excitedly, he couldn't stop shedding tears.
Tears fell like pearls from a broken string. Lu Yi pursed his lips and glared at Zuo En, his eyes and nose were red.
It was so strange, why was his heart aching, Lu Yi thought blankly, as if he was hit by some bad possibility.
Zorn looked down at him, indifferent to his crying, with a look of superior indifference on his face. He whispered as if cursing, "No, you are wrong. The Klein family will eventually be destroyed. Its reputation, wealth, and glory will all be reduced to dust."
"Don't worry about whether the Klein family will be destroyed."
Another cold voice sounded from behind Lu Yi, and Astor walked slowly towards him with his eyes slightly narrowed.
He squatted down and gently wiped the tears from Lu Yi's eyes with a soft silk handkerchief, then slowly stood up and spoke without any emotion while protecting his younger brother behind him:
"Your malice and anger only make you look even more miserable and pitiful. If you think that all you can do is bully my young and soft-hearted brother, then I think I may need to have a serious discussion with my father about whether you should stay or go."
Zorn's expression changed several times. "So your ability is to complain to your own father? The great heir of the Klein family? Oh, no, it's hard to say. After all, your dear brother also has the right of inheritance, right?"
"Why don't you say it doesn't matter this time?" Astor didn't even raise his eyelids. "Don't waste your breath trying to sow discord here. It's useless. As for what I am capable of, you don't deserve to know."
"No one here is obliged to tolerate you. You should take care of yourself. That's all I have to say."
Astor took Lu Yi's hand and turned to leave.
When he was about to open the door, he paused again.
"Lu Yi came to you just to ask you why you always throw away the cookies he made specially for you."
"He wanted to ask you if you didn't like cookies. He could make something else."
Zorn stared at the two men's backs with an unchanged expression, but his hands hanging by his sides quietly clenched into fists.
He couldn't help but recall the unidentified objects that he had taken out of the dishes. Each one might not be very clear when taken out separately, but once they were put together and connected, it seemed that he could vaguely distinguish the appearance of biscuits.
Those were small flower cookies that were carefully baked one by one.
On the other side, Lu Yi was in a particularly good mood, holding Aster's hand and jumping in the corridor.
The blush on the tip of his nose had not yet faded, but his deep blue eyes had turned into a crescent moon.
"Brother, you are so awesome!" Lu Yi said excitedly.
"...What is awesome?" Astor was a little confused when he heard it.
"Yeah, well...it just means very powerful! My brother is the most powerful person in the world!"
After a while, Aste's weird voice was heard.
"…More powerful than father?"
"Of course! Astor is first! Sairen is second! Long live the Klein family!" Lu Yichao said loudly.
The author has something to say:
It's my brother! We are saved!
