"Wei Yuan? The genius who came from a poor family? I just had a few words with him. What happened to him?" Jin Chen tried to speak longer to delay time.
"He's missing!"
"What? Missing? How is this possible? How did he disappear? Why did he disappear?" Jin Chen asked in surprise, as if Wei Yuan was his good friend.
"Are you familiar with Wei Yuan?"
"No, we are not very familiar with each other, just ordinary friends. He is a well-known genius in our water village. I even made a fool of myself just to say a word to him! Alas, the past is too painful to recall!" Jin Chen gave another long speech.
Jin Chen's brother seemed to sense something was wrong with him, so he stopped talking nonsense and asked directly, "You're not bad at all. You're already a high-level warrior at such a young age. You can be promoted to a warrior at any time, right? Where did you get your training resources and weapons and equipment? Brother, won't you share some with me?"
"Brother, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
"Playing dumb? Brother, you were just avoiding the subject. Do you know what I'm trying to do?"
"What purpose? Brother really loves to joke around. We have the deepest brotherly bond! Who doesn't know that?"
"Brotherhood? Us? Haha... How hilarious. Let me guess, how did you figure out I was going to kill you? Was it because of yesterday's killing game? Wei Xu is such a loser, he couldn't even do this. Not only did he let you come back alive, he even saw through my plan, forcing me to go dark and do it myself? However, if you have such strength, it's not surprising that yesterday's killing game didn't kill you."
"Brother, what are you talking about? How is this possible? Was yesterday's danger because of you? Did you set this up? Why did this happen? Why, brother?!" Jin Chen asked in agony. On the small map in the upper right corner of the interface, Fang Yuan's light appeared and was moving rapidly towards him.
"Why? Don't you really know? Okay, I'll explain it clearly so you understand! You are the legitimate son, and your cultivation talent is second only to mine! Although due to the Corpse Demon Plague, resources are scarce, breaking down the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and finally choosing to let me enter the training camp to train and become a warrior! However, the concept of legitimate and illegitimate children is still strong now, and the mistress is still your biological mother. She plans everything for you! She trips me up at every turn! If I weren't the most talented and the most diligent in cultivation, I would have been killed by your mother long ago! Why did your mother plot against me? It was all for you! To pave the way for you to become the head of the family!"
"What? How could this happen? This is impossible! Mother never told me?" Jin Chen really didn't know this!
"Tell you? Why should I tell you?! As long as I'm eliminated, your turn will naturally follow! As long as you survive and successfully succeed, that's enough!! Your mother truly loves you and worries about you so much! You don't know, of course you don't know! You were playing around with a bunch of playboys at the time! How could you possibly know! Have you ever cared about what's going on at home?"
"I thought the family had already chosen you as the heir. I also knew that my position was somewhat awkward, so I tried to avoid suspicion. I really didn't know there would be a fight!"
"Haha... you're lucky! You don't have to fight for it. Someone will fight for it for you. Many people will do everything they can to get it to you! For example, your cultivation resources. Father has already prepared them for you!"
"I, I don't want this to happen." Jin Chen saw Fang Yuan on the small map stopped moving a hundred meters away from them.
"I don't care whether you want it or not. Today, you are dead! If you want to suffer less, then tell me where your training resources and weapons and equipment come from? What else, and where are they? Otherwise, I will make you live a life worse than death!"
"Brother, do we really have to go this far?" Jin Chen stopped performing and asked seriously.
"What? Begging for mercy now? It's no use! You must die today! No one can save you!"
"Okay, I got it!"
In his mind, he used the system's communication function and said to Fang Yuan, "Do it!"
“Whoosh—”
An arrow filled with fighting spirit suddenly shot out quickly and hit Jin Chen's brother in the chest. His chest seemed to be hit hard and his body fell back heavily. As for his chest, it had been shattered by the arrow.
Jin Chen watched this scene unfold calmly. His brother's face was still filled with disbelief as his consciousness gradually faded, and he died unwillingly.
Fang Yuan quickly rushed to Jin Chen's side. "How is it?"
Jin Chen let out a long breath, calmed down, and then smiled and said, "Still alive!"
"I didn't expect you to be so clever and delay it for so long."
"I didn't expect my brother to be so talkative!" Jin Chen himself found it amusing. "Maybe he's been suppressing his anger for too long! He's got so much resentment towards me, and he couldn't express it normally. Thinking he had a sure win, he just blurted it all out at once! I guess he didn't expect these to be his final words, did he?"
"Haha... Just like in the storybook, the villain dies because he talks too much!" Fang Yuan said casually, then suddenly realized and exclaimed, "He's your brother?"
"Yeah! What's so surprising about that?"
"You, why did your brother want to kill you?"
"This kind of thing happens too often among the nobles! After the disaster of the corpse demon, such things have become much less common! It's also because our family is relatively large that such a mess can happen!" Jin Chen curled his lips and said self-deprecatingly.
"I really can't understand you nobles. We're in the midst of the plague of corpse demons, and humanity is facing the threat of extinction. We're just guarding a water fort, a place that's so small, and you nobles are still fighting for power among yourselves."
Unlike their family, where two cousins are closer than blood! Aren't brothers supposed to help each other? Why are they fighting to the death? I really don't understand what's going on in the minds of these nobles! They're just bored!
"Brother Yuan, I was forced to defend and fight back! But I am a good young man!" Jin Chen quickly defended himself.
To be honest, Jin Chen originally didn't have much thought about cultivation! Because the training was too hard and tiring! He probably couldn't stick with it!
The life of a playboy was what he pursued!
Jin Chen had never considered fighting for his family's cultivation resources! He had never considered it! Even after acquiring the system, he had never considered it!
After acquiring the Heavenly Dao Mercenary System, cultivation became much simpler, and Jin Chen naturally accepted the idea of cultivation! However, the resources provided by the system were both cheap and plentiful, so Jin Chen no longer cared about the little resources in his family!
