Chapter 411 Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs
These words, like those of a devil stained with venom and coupled with his sinister expression, completely overturned the image of a gentle and elegant elder brother in Yun Qimu's mind.
Oh my god, is this still her gentle and doting elder brother?
However, what the eldest brother analyzed was absolutely correct. If it were her, she would also stay in the Yun family to preserve the fire and look for opportunities for revenge, instead of following her family to Exile Star, a place with an uncertain future, to make her relatives sad and her enemies happy.
Only if she continues to stay outside and retains her position in the Yun family can she play the greatest role. Then she can hire some people to come to the Exile Star to protect her family and provide them with supplies. This is the wisest approach.
However, Yun Xiaoyu is so young, and it is very smart for her to think of stealing the longevity lock from the fat boy Yun Shangyang and bringing supplies with her. The big brother is too harsh on the little kid.
Receiving his younger sister's disapproving look, Yun Qichen shuddered and lowered his long legs. A gentle, doting smile returned to his handsome, delicate face. He explained with a strong desire to survive, "Little sister, I'm doing this for Xiaoyu's own good. When I was his age, I was already able to outsmart the space pirates and escape safely."
"Life in the Yun family won't be good if you're not smart, especially since Grandpa and Grandma have obvious grudges against our family of five. We never know when this grudge will erupt and become a spearhead attacking us. I have to grow up quickly to save my life and protect you and Mom."
At this point, Yun Qichen's voice took on a hint of heaviness, but he quickly shook it off, a dry smile returning to his face. "Besides, Xiaoyu is quite clever, and his Infinite Emperor Body is highly resistant to pressure, so a little nudging won't be a problem."
In order not to leave a bad impression in front of his younger sister, Yun Qichen praised Yun Xiaoyu somewhat uncomfortably.
But the originally listless little kid immediately perked up after hearing this, with a surprised smile on his face and his dark eyes sparkling.
He was praised by his elder brother!
Yunqi Mu was silent for a moment, it seemed that his ability to withstand pressure was indeed quite strong.
He doesn't hold grudges at all and gets happy just by being praised. He's so easy to coax.
The corners of her mouth twitched, and she turned away, then her gaze returned to her eldest brother. "So, eldest brother has long noticed that something is wrong with the Yun family, and is going to take action against our family?"
Yun Qichen pursed his lips, a cold look in his eyes. "Well, I knew from a young age that Grandpa didn't like me. He looked at me and Dad with indifference, almost as if we were enemies."
"I just didn't expect them to choose that time to attack. If the Yun family had won again, their status would have risen, making them Kimberly's second-largest family. I thought they were certain to win that battle, but I didn't expect them to choose to attack us during this battle. There was no warning, and I was completely unprepared."
At that time, he was participating in the last practical test in the academy. As long as he completed the test, he would graduate and then be able to fight with his father. The father and son together could provide an additional layer of protection.
It was at this moment of joy that he became careless, giving the person who was plotting against him an opportunity to take advantage of him.
Even the wisest man can make mistakes, and this time his carelessness almost cost him his life.
When Yun Qichen thought of his best friend’s betrayal at that time, the dark light in his eyes became more intense.
Yun Qimu was also surprised after hearing this. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Even if Yun Cang hated Yun's father, he didn't necessarily have to kill him and their whole family.
Unless his father is not his biological son.
Yun Qimu's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this possibility.
"Village Chief."
Tao Hongjing's respectful call brought Yun Qimu back to his senses.
Putting aside her previous thoughts, she quickly stood up and walked to the door of the alchemy room. She glanced at Father Yun, who was following Tao Hongjing obediently. Seeing him grinning at her, Yun Qimu also smiled. Then she looked at Tao Hongjing and asked, "Mr. Tao, how is my father?"
Tao Hongjing, wearing a white coat, smiled slightly on his serious face. "After two days of acupuncture treatment, there's been some improvement. This proves your father's brain nerves haven't died yet, and there's still hope for recovery. I've also found books on brain injury treatment in the library, and one of the cases is very similar to your father's current condition."
"Oh." Yun Qimu was very interested in what he said and continued to ask what was going on with this case.
Yun Qichen, who followed behind him, also had a serious expression on his handsome and delicate face. He took a look at his father's silly smile and couldn't reconcile him with the upright, resolute, serious yet loving father in his memory.
He frowned, dark colors rolling in his eyes, and finally he forced himself to suppress his anger. Like Yun Qimu, he looked solemnly at the old man in front of him who had gray hair but a transcendent temperament and was dignified and elegant.
Tao Hongjing didn't mind the trouble of the siblings, and he just wanted to find someone to talk to about his illness, so he agreed to discuss the matter with them with a gentle expression.
Then he gestured for them to come in and led them into the adjacent reception room.
This was expanded with the help of the two brothers Ming Xiao and Ming Mu after they started to make a profit. They would go in to rest when they were tired from refining medicine. When they were immersed in research and worked too late at night, they would not return to their own cabin but would just fall asleep in the lounge. The next day, they would scratch their disheveled hair and return to their research with renewed energy.
If this alchemy workshop was not their own, Yun Qimu suspected that they would have settled down here.
The four adults and one child followed them in. The lounge was not big and was divided into an outer room and an inner room. They used the inner room for sleeping and the outer room for drinking tea and chatting.
The outer room looked very clean. It was said that people engaged in medical research had mysophobia. The two brothers of the Ming family and Tao Hongjing were also clean people. So the outer room only looked a little messy, but there was not a trace of dust on the tables and chairs.
"Please sit wherever you like." After Tao Hongjing asked them to sit down, he sat in the main seat and began to make tea.
He skillfully and gracefully scooped tea leaves from a mahogany spoon and put them into a covered bowl, then poured boiling water from the pot next to him over it. Steam carrying the fragrance of tea rose up.
The originally anxious mood of the three siblings gradually settled down in the fragrance of tea, as if they had been cleansed and became clear and calm.
"Please have some tea." Tao Hongjing handed over the tea with a smile on his face.
Yun Qimu and Yun Qichen took it with a faint smile and took a sip. It was slightly bitter at first but had a sweet aftertaste.
Perhaps the brother and sister were not rich enough to buy tea before, so they didn't know much about tea and couldn't tell the good from the bad. But based on the elegant and graceful performance of Tao Hongjing just now, they could tell that this was definitely good tea.
