"You were born into the Feng family, the first of the four great families in the martial arts world. You were originally a daughter of a noble family. Unfortunately, after the Feng family was destroyed three years ago, you were charged with treason by the imperial court."
"You were alone on the run, dodging the court's search and your enemies' pursuit. You lived a miserable life for several months. You stole other people's leftovers, slept in abandoned temples, and even sneaked into a mixed-race arena to avoid being hunted down."
"But you were spotted by the owner of the Beast Fighting City, who forcibly tied you up as a slave to fight with wild beasts. You endured the humiliation and escaped, but were chased by your enemies again. Fortunately, just when you were about to die, your eldest brother saved your life."
Sheng Nanxi's voice was calm. Thinking of the girl in front of her who was over 16 years old when her family suffered a change, a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes.
"You suddenly fell from the clouds into the mud, and not only were you crushed to pieces, but you were also trampled to pieces by the hooves of fate. So when my brother appeared in front of you when you were dying, it was like a ray of light shining into the darkness in an instant."
"You have nothing and are as lowly as mud, but your elder brother is the lofty and majestic Master Yuhan. Even though he has crippled legs, he is still the eldest son of the prince's mansion. So you stayed at that time because you sincerely wanted to repay her. From the beginning to the end, you never dared to have any improper thoughts."
"This is my heart, how can reason control it? Emotions that grow unchecked are like weeds all over the mountain. If you forcibly remove them, they will grow even more vigorously..."
The little girl sighed, looking calm and composed.
"Xi...Xi'er..." Yun Jin looked at Sheng Nanxi in surprise with her beautiful eyes filled with water. She couldn't believe that she could figure out her thoughts so accurately just from what happened in the past.
Sheng Nanxi handed her a strawberry-flavored lollipop, and the chubby boy pouted and sat on the big rock next to Yun Jin.
"So you saw that your elder brother was in much worse health now, and everyone in our family was busy, and there was no use for you, so you prepared to leave alone."
"Sister Yun, you always think you deserve to be on equal terms with us. Have you ever thought that now your family has been stripped of their reputation and exiled to the northern border? Have you also fallen from the clouds into the mud? There is not much difference between you and my brother now."
"This... How is this the same? I... I have nothing..." Yun Jin retorted subconsciously.
Every time she moved her hands and feet, she could always see the appearance of a noble lady from the past. The strong cold wind blew her long hair around her temples, making it seem as if it was about to flutter.
Sister Yun actually has many shining points, but she just hasn't discovered them.
Or maybe she thought her brother was too good and too perfect, so she didn't dare to get close to him for fear of blaspheming the god in her heart.
Sheng Nanxi saw through it and continued to ask Yun Jin:
"Sister Yun, what do you think of the relationship between mother and father?"
"The love between the young man and the old man is so enviable that it makes others jealous."
"But I heard that my father was a farmer from the countryside. Even though his family was relatively well-off, it was nothing compared to the country nobles in the city. My mother was from the Li family of Yutian County, and she was definitely the eldest daughter of a scholarly family."
"At that time, my father had not yet joined the army. He was just a poor boy with nothing, far inferior to my mother. Didn't these two still happily accompany each other for many years? Sister Yun, the way people get along with each other depends on whether they know each other well. There are not so many who are a perfect match."
After all, Yunjin is a modern woman, and like Sheng Nanxi, she has accepted the modern idea of equality for all. In addition, this girl is a bit stubborn, and it is normal for her to get stuck in a rut.
"Xi'er...what are you talking about? You and Young Master are..." Yun Jin heard her compare Li Zhenyi and Sheng Jinghai, and she came to her senses and blushed instantly.
Sheng Nanxi smiled secretly in her heart, but did not make things difficult for her.
"What's the point of your fantasizing here? It's better to ask your elder brother in person. As long as he despises you for having nothing and is willing to treat you as an equal, all your concerns are unnecessary."
"I hate it." A clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from a distance.
Yun Jin turned around and saw Sheng Yuhan coming out of the bushes a dozen steps away in a wheelchair.
"Yu...Yuhan..." Yun Jin realized that Sheng Yuhan must have heard everything that had just been said. She lowered her head in shame in an instant.
Although the Feng family is a martial arts sect, the teachings of the women in the family are to follow virtue. Yun Jin has always burst out with tenacity in times of crisis, but he is quite traditional and conservative in his bones.
"Ayin, you are so disgusting. You, why are you so stupid? You always think so highly of others, which makes you look worthless. Think about it, how can a paralyzed fugitive look down on you who has all your limbs intact?"
Feng Manyin, this was her name three years ago before the Feng family was wiped out.
He rescued her from a dark alley in the slums. The little girl had a hollow look in her eyes, and her once bright and beautiful face was devoid of any light. It was hard to imagine how many horrific beatings and injuries she had experienced in those few months.
Whenever she brought up the past, he never asked, but secretly helped him find the culprit who caused the Feng family to be destroyed.
In addition, he was paralyzed after being poisoned, and he didn't want to delay the girl. Naturally, all his previous worries were buried in his stomach.
But today, Xier really gave him hope, and the love buried in his heart could finally be hidden.
"Ayin, according to our investigations over the years, the Feng family was most likely wiped out by the Beichen Kingdom's Red Flame Gang. You go north with them. When my leg is healed, I will go with you to seek revenge."
"You can take revenge on your own, otherwise you will be implicated..."
Yun Jin subconsciously retorted, but Sheng Yuhan suddenly frowned and started to cough painfully.
“Cough cough… cough cough cough…”
Sheng Yuhan's delicate face turned pale in an instant, and it looked like she had coughed up all her lungs.
"Yu Han...Yu Han, what's wrong with you? Xier, come and see what's happened to your elder brother?" Yun Jin was so anxious that tears were falling.
"No...it's okay. Xier said this is a normal reaction after detoxification." Sheng Yuhan weakly wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.
"How can you be fine?! Now that you have recovered from a serious illness, don't stay here on the hillside in the wind. Let's go back now."
Yun Jin was also very strong when he was in a hurry. He didn't wait for the other party to react, and pushed him towards the camp. Sheng Yuhan only had time to blink at Sheng Nanxi before he was pushed away.
Nancy Sheng: ...
When did she say she would vomit blood after detox?!
The blood that just spurted out of him was not a normal reaction after detoxification, but internal injuries caused by his own reverse flow of true energy!
"Tsk tsk... It turns out that men are born to flirt with girls. Look at big brother, he looks honest, but he can actually pretend to be pitiful and deceive people. But I heard that if you like someone, you will become inferior. Sister Yun cares too much about big brother. She won't be embarrassed..."
The little fat girl stood on tiptoe and sighed as she watched the two people gradually disappear.
I was thinking of getting something else to eat as a snack, when suddenly a small bowl filled with persimmons appeared in front of me. The persimmons were peeled and cut into small pieces, with two small wooden sticks that were polished to a very smooth texture stuck into them.
"I bought it when I passed by the last town. It's not as plump and juicy as the ones that Seele made, but... it's still okay."
Thinking of the fruits that Sheng Nanxi had transformed herself, Gu Yuancheng always felt that what he had in his hand was quite impressive.
"No! They are all delicious in their own way. Xier also likes the one I bought at the market!" Sheng Nanxi took it, let out a roar, and took a big bite.
My mouth is instantly filled with juice, and the fresh and sweet taste fills my mouth. Although the flesh has a light astringent taste and is not as sweet and juicy as the ones grown in space, it has a different flavor.
After eating a few bites, Sheng Nanxi took out some popcorn from the space and stood on tiptoe to read the gossip about her elder brother and Yun Jin.
"Let's go over there and take a look." Gu Yuancheng immediately understood the little girl's thoughts. He let her ride on his shoulders and hid in a forest far away.
"Yes, yes, right here, a little higher."
"Tsk tsk... Big Brother, why are you taking so long? You've been talking about the main point for a long time. It seems like you have talked about the main point, Xiao Cheng, please go a little higher."
The little girl sat on the boy's shoulders, munching on popcorn while watching gossip through the trees. The boy smiled faintly and kept changing the height and angle according to her instructions.
"Bang--"
But in the next moment, a piece of wood flew from a distance and embedded itself directly in front of the two people a dozen steps away!
The little girl was watching intently when her view was suddenly blocked.
"Huh! What a fool big brother is! He's just going to sacrifice himself so that we can have some fun with him?!" The little fat girl curled her lips unwillingly.
"Ahem... maybe big brother has something to say to Sister Yun, so it's convenient for us to eavesdrop? Why don't we go do something else?" Gu Yuancheng coughed lightly, trying to smooth things over.
"Well... you have a point. Everyone has their own secrets. You always base your happiness on depriving others of their privacy. And Big Brother has clearly shown it to you. If you go near it again, you will definitely be beaten."
Sheng Nanxi also nodded very seriously.
"So, let's let the third brother take a peek, and then let him tell us what he saw!"
Gu Yuancheng: ... "That's the truth."
The two little brats sneaked back to the camp.
As soon as they got through the dense forest, they saw smoke rising from the camp. Bai Xiuyu and Li Zhenyi were working hard to cook for everyone, Sheng Jinghai was leaning on his butt, fanning the flames with a diligent look on his face, and the fifth brother was practicing swordplay with a cold face.
And her third brother...
Her third brother built another stove a few steps away from her grandmother and the others. He was still muttering that he would definitely make mistakes this time after learning from the last experience, and their little Xier would soon have delicious rice flowers to eat.
Sheng Nanxi was immediately frightened and pale: "Jiu! Xiao Cheng, hurry up!"
"Bang——"
It happened so quickly that just as the two of them ran back a few steps, a loud explosion was heard behind them!
