Fang Yuan was directly exposing someone's shortcomings. A shy person would definitely be annoyed. A narrow-minded person might even become an enemy.
But Ruan Qi was very generous, able to make jokes, and had an open mind. He laughed and joked.
"Why, I was saved by the system, and you're jealous? Haha..."
Fang Yuan shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, it's getting late and the sun is about to set. Let's go back."
Ruan Qi looked at the slowly setting sun and sighed, "Yes, we have to go back."
Ruan Qi did not have the same feeling about going home as Fang Yuan did.
For Ruan Qi, family is a heavy burden, a monster that devours people's lives. It has devoured the lives of all the people he loves, and now it is his turn.
Fortunately, he was lucky and got the system, so he didn't die.
Ruan Qi is a parent of a teenager. He no longer has affection and love for his family, but more of a sense of responsibility!
The younger brothers in the family were waiting for him to bring back food and charcoal so that they could survive! Only when he was with Fang Yuan could he feel the ease among friends.
Fang Yuan is his savior, the person who shares the Tiandao Mercenary System with him, his comrade-in-arms, and his friend!
Although they have only been together for half a day, Fang Yuan and Ruan Qi have already established a strong bond!
Separation is inevitable!
Looking at the direction Fang Yuan left, Ruan Qi bought food and charcoal and walked into the house.
"Brother, brother, I'm hungry!"
"Brother bought something and we're eating it! He bought something and we're eating it."
"Brother is tired after a day, don't bother him."
It’s not that Ruan Qi doesn’t love his younger brothers and sisters, but this responsibility is unfamiliar and heavy, which makes him both look forward to it and fear it.
Especially because of this responsibility, he almost died for two consecutive days, and he was more afraid of this responsibility than looking forward to it.
But he had no choice. These were his blood relatives! His younger siblings! They had depended on each other for ten years. When their elders were not at home, he had taken care of them with his own frail body and soul for ten years!
However, the care I had before was just about controlling my younger siblings at home. I had never had to go out to make a living like now, or even experience life-and-death crises!
The experiences of the past two days also made him understand what the family elders had sacrificed for them.
Without experience, you have no right to speak!
This sentence is so true!
I used to always complain about my elders, but that’s not good! I was just too well protected!
I forgot that my family has fallen into decline. Now is a special period of the plague of corpse demons, an era of material poverty! An era of danger everywhere!
Thinking of the elders who had passed away, Ruan Qi's eyes turned red.
"Brother, brother, why are you crying? Why are you crying?"
"Brother, don't cry, brother, don't cry. I will be sensible in the future and not make you angry again."
"Wuwu...Brother, brother..."
In fact, the younger brothers and sisters are closer to Ruan Qi than the elders, after all, Ruan Qi raised them.
It was also at this time, after experiencing life and death and facing his family, that Ruan Qi finally understood his own heart and his own will!
"This is my responsibility! It's also my honor! Because I love you! Brothers and sisters!"
Ruan Qi's eyes became firm, no longer heavy, tired and confused!
From the sorrow of losing all his elders and the burden of taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, Ruan Qi found his original intention and regained his faith!
Ruan Qi smiled happily and said, "Okay, I'm going to make some water and cook. You all should sit down! Be good and wait for me to drink some water and eat!"
Ruan Qi smiled happily and his younger brothers and sisters stopped crying. They sat on the ground obediently in a circle, just like when the elders went out and Ruan Qi made water and cooked for them.
…
In the Lord's Mansion, Gu Qing was checking the mission information as a routine matter.
"Huh? Jin Ting hasn't returned from his mission?" Gu Qing asked doubtfully.
Gu He, who was in charge of organizing the plan, stood up and replied, "My Lord, according to the report from the person in charge of registering the mission, he hasn't returned yet."
If he didn't come back after dusk, it was basically a bad omen! Gu Qing was still very optimistic about the young man Jin Ting.
Although he was born out of wedlock, he had many advantages! No one cared about the status of legitimate or illegitimate children anymore! Gu Qing was born out of wedlock, but he still ascended to the position of lord, didn't he?
Jin Ting, who was also born out of wedlock, was his natural ally!
Moreover, Jin Ting is a man with good talent for cultivation, ambitious, ruthless, brave and courageous, loyal to him, and a good warrior!
Moreover, Jin Ting was the heir of the Jin family and would be a good helper in governing his territory in the future. Gu Qing was very optimistic about him. However, he did not expect that after becoming a warrior, he would not return from his first mission.
"What mission is he doing?" Gu Qing asked with a frown.
"Find the missing Wei Yuan, find out whether he is dead or alive, and the reason!" Gu He had a very good memory and a quick reaction, and he answered immediately.
"Is this the mission? I have an impression of it. So, because of the investigation into Wei Yuan's disappearance, Jin Ting also disappeared, and his life or death is unknown?" Gu Qing touched the wing of his nose as usual.
Gu He immediately lowered his head in fear, not daring to breathe. The Lord's habit of touching his nose was due to his inner anger and murderous intent, as he contemplated how to kill someone.
Could it be that there is some secret behind the disappearance of Wei Yuan and Jin Ting that I don’t know?
Wei Yuan was also Gu Qing's warrior, painstakingly trained for him. He was finally about to be promoted to a warrior after one year, and now it was time to reap the rewards, but he disappeared! How could Gu Qing not be furious?!
So Wei Yuan's mission was issued.
Now, another person he had high hopes for has also disappeared while investigating Wei Yuan's disappearance case, and his situation is grim.
He had lost two important talents in a row. One was Wei Yuan, whom he had invested heavily in, and the other was Jin Ting, whose heart he had focused on winning over. Both disappeared or even died just before or after their promotion to warrior. Gu Qing had lost two years of significant investment, and how could he not suspect a conspiracy against him?
He wondered for a moment which of his enemies was secretly plotting against him. He smiled murderously and whispered, "Your methods are truly powerful! Without making any noise, you struck with one blow, and began to strangle my power from the newly trained, yet not yet mature, direct descendants! Such methods are very similar to my restless uncle! By the way, my uncle seems to have a son, fifteen or sixteen years old this year. He is now a high-level warrior, about to be promoted to a warrior, and according to tradition, he must undergo the warrior test. Okay, this is good! Give someone a taste of their own medicine. Since you tampered with Wei Yuan's warrior test and killed him, don't blame me for being cruel and ignoring my brotherly love, and sending my cousin to meet our ancestors!"
