Xue Chen: [That’s what she always says about me! It’s fine that she started a new family behind my back, but she has said that to me, and it seems like it’s not the first or second time. How can my brother allow it? Am I still his biological brother?]
System: [Light candles for the palace lady.]
Xue Chen: [You are not allowed to call her by that name!]
System: [...Okay.]
You are really narrow-minded.
Beef Soup saw that his expression was getting colder and colder, as if he was suppressing his anger, and stuck out his tongue: "Okay, I shouldn't have said that to him. Don't be angry, Brother Jiu, I just missed you too much."
Xue Chen's expression softened: "You're right, eldest brother's health is not very good.
" Beef Soup: "So many doctors, why couldn't they cure him?"
Xue Chen's face was gloomy: "They are all rubbish."
Hu Sheng came out of the cabin holding Xie Heng.
Beef Soup pointed at Xie Heng and asked, "Can't he cure it?"
Xie Heng said indifferently, "Xie is just an accountant, not a doctor. My medical skills are shallow. I can't even cure myself, how can I cure others?"
Wen Qu followed them and frowned when she heard Xie Heng's negative words, "You cured me."
"Your injury is nothing." The thin young man could not stand or walk, and could only be held quietly in someone's arms. He seemed to think that this was a loss of dignity, and was unwilling to say more. He said dejectedly, "Mr. Hu, let's go back first."
Mr. Hu: "Yes, sir."
Beef Soup didn't care about those irrelevant people at all. She only cared about Gong Jiu.
Seeing that Xue Chen was still in a bad mood, she said, "I really don't understand why you don't want to bring him to the island. He doesn't have any serious illness. Others can't cure him, but my father can definitely cure him. There is nothing in the world that my father can't do."
Wu Ming in the original novel is full of poetry and books, knows astronomy and geography, is proficient in miscellaneous studies, can learn anything at once, and can learn it to perfection very quickly. He is a well-rounded genius .
He can easily do things that others can't do in their lifetime, so it's easy for him to feel bored and come out to take revenge on society.
Wu Ming is a kind and amiable old man on the surface, but in fact he is more terrifying and crazier than Gong Jiu.
Xue Chen said, "Don't bother him with this kind of thing."
Niu Rou Tang snorted in dissatisfaction, "You always say that."
Xue Chen ignored her and walked straight ahead.
Xie Heng stayed on the Nameless Island for a long time. Although he didn't go out often, he remembered most of the routes of the Nameless Island because of his full-level [Memory].
In addition to the original work and the things that Gong Jiu confessed before coming here, it was enough for Xue Chen to clearly understand what kind of place the Nameless Island was.
He took a few steps, and when he was about to reach the banana grove, he turned back to look at Beef Soup: "Lead the way."
Beef Soup slowly came over: "You've been away for so long, and you didn't bring me any gifts, nor did you comfort me, and you didn't even have a good face. Are you still the Ninth Brother I know?"
Xue Chen said lightly: "Who said I didn't bring you any gifts?"
Beef Soup's eyes lit up: "Really?"
The boat behind was still transporting things down, loaded with daily necessities for the people on the island, including food and wine, clothes, fuel, candles, these daily necessities, as well as gold and silver.
There were also several boxes filled with things moved from the Taiping Palace, three of which were gifts from Gong Jiu to Beef Soup.
Xue Chen said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask them to bring the things over now."
Beef Soup said happily, "I believe me, Brother Jiu is the best!"
Gong Jiu had given her gifts many times, and they were no longer fresh. She had everything she needed, and she didn't care what the gift was, she just wanted to get Gong Jiu's attention.
Xue Chen: "It's windy outside, let's go back quickly."
Beef Soup nodded: "The wind is very strong, but Brother Jiu is still very neat, and his hair is not messed up."
Xue Chen: "..."
System: [Can I interview you? How do you feel now?]
Xue Chen: [Sooner or later... hehe.]
System: [...]
I don't know why, but I don't dare to ask.
Beef Soup led the way in front, and Xue Chen followed her behind.
This little girl was very clever, and no one knew where to lead him. The trees around him became more and more dense, and the road disappeared.
They stepped on the land, passed through the palm and banana trees, and finally came to a clear view. Flat white stone slabs were paved on the ground, and houses were lined up around them.
An old man was watering the flowers there.
His hair was already gray, and he was not very tall. He looked very ordinary, but his clothes were exquisite and gorgeous, and his body was stronger than his peers.
Xue Chen couldn't help but be on guard.
Usually, he pretended to be his younger brother, and after being discovered, he just adjusted his plan.
If he was discovered this time, he would most likely die here, or be imprisoned by the old man so that he could control his younger brother to do things for him, and when necessary, die in place of his younger brother, providing Gong Jiu with a new identity.
Neither result is good.
Xue Chen's expression became more and more grim, and his steps became more steady.
He came behind Wu Ming and looked at him steadily.
Wu Ming did not stop his hands, still watering the flowers, and said to Xue Chen kindly with his back to him: "You are here."
Xue Chen: "I am here."
Wu Ming: "You have sent a lot of people to the island recently."
Xue Chen: "Yeah."
Wu Ming straightened up, handed the kettle to Beef Soup, and said with a smile: "I have seen them, these people are all doctors, and they have no other specialties."
Xue Chen: "Not bad."
Wu Ming: "The island does not need so many doctors. Adding so many people will be a huge expense."
Xue Chen: "I will send them away."
Wu Ming said distressedly: "But they have already known the secret of the island."
Xue Chen: "Leave it to me."
Wu Ming: "Okay. You are my most proud disciple and the child I watched grow up. I believe you can handle things well. It's just that things haven't been going well for you recently."
Xue Chen's eyes darkened.
Wu Ming walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
Xue Chen tried his best to control himself and relax.
His internal strength was far inferior to Gong Jiu's, so he couldn't help but worry that Wu Ming had some special skills outside the plot that could easily detect his abnormality.
Fortunately, this did not happen. Wu Ming just patted his shoulder in a very ordinary way.
The old man said soothingly: "I know you want to kill him very much, and you can hardly wait. But such an opportunity is hard to come by. He can reach his current position, even if he doesn't have enough strength, he has luck."
Xue Chen said coldly: "Luck?"
Wu Ming: "That young man named Xie Heng seems to believe in these things. If you have a chance, you can talk to him."
Xue Chen was thoughtful.
System: [He is quite superstitious.]
Xue Chen: [The old man knows astronomy and geography, can observe the sky, predict the weather, and even understand ocean currents. He has lived for so long, he should have some vision. The thing called "luck" seems very mysterious, but it is not completely non-existent. Lu Xiaofeng is a person with particularly strong "luck".]
System: [Compared between Xie Heng and the old man, who is more powerful? 】
Xue Chen: 【Isn't it obvious at a glance? The old man knows everything about astronomy and geography, and Xie Heng knows everything about astronomy and is paralyzed in his lower limbs.】
System: 【……】
Wu Ming asked with concern like an ordinary elder: "Is your brother's health okay?"
Xue Chen: "No improvement."
Wu Ming sighed: "His condition is always recurring like this, when can you be at ease? Things on the island still need you to deal with. If you always do this and return home as soon as you receive the news, won't you delay the important things?"
Xue was silent.
Wu Ming: "You look very smart, but sometimes, you are really stupid."
Xue Chen was still silent.
System: 【He scolded your brother for being stupid, can you tolerate this?】
Xue Chen: 【He didn't scold me.】
System: 【……】I really want Gong Jiu to hear this sentence.
Xue Chen: [This is a conversation between smart people, a little fool like you will not understand. Wu Ming means that my brother can't count, can't find the way, and has a masochistic tendency. He has a high qualification for martial arts, is very talented, and is smart, but in some aspects, he is a hopeless case. He can't trust my brother to the Nameless Island.]
System: [So there is such a deep meaning?]
Xue Chen: [And sometimes my brother really acts like a fool. Who would stare blankly at the seaside without eating or drinking for three days and three nights? My brother seems to like staring blankly usually. He doesn't even respond when my father calls him.]
System: [I know this. He only cares about you. 】
Xue Chen:【Wu Ming will choose someone else as his successor. My brother is his apprentice and also his partner. He can be half the owner of Nameless Island, but he can never be the "young master". 】
System:【It sounds like your brother is a bit miserable. He finally developed Nameless Island, but in the end the old man left everything to others. 】
Xue Chen:【My brother has been treated very well since he didn't even get Niu Rou Tang, his own daughter. 】
Wu Ming saw that he seemed to have heard it, and waved his hand: "You young people, you are too impatient to listen to the nagging of the elders. Go and play by yourselves, don't disturb me from basking in the sun here."
Niu Rou Tang put the kettle on the ground and pulled Xue Chen: "Nineth brother, did you hear me? Let's go."
Xue Chen followed her back.
The way back was different from the way here. Going directly from this square, walking half a circle along the cobblestone road, you will arrive at Xie Heng's residence. Xue Chen only now realized that Xie Heng and the old man lived so close.
No wonder Xie Heng had never seen the old man, but the old man already knew something about Xie Heng.
After walking for a while, Xue Chen arrived at Gong Jiu's residence.
His residence was very quiet and elegant. There was a well-polished bronze mirror in the bedroom. As soon as Xue Chen walked in, he saw himself in the mirror, as if he saw his stupid brother who was far away in the Taiping Palace.
Beef Soup saw him staring at the mirror and didn't find it strange at all: "Brother Jiu, does your brother really look exactly like you?"
Xue Chen retracted his gaze and nodded silently.
Beef Soup said again in a lively and innocent tone: "Then bring him here, I want to see him too. I have never seen two people who are exactly the same in my life, not to mention that they both look like you. Don't worry, brother Jiu, I will never bully him. Brother Jiu's brother is my brother."
Xue Chen: "Brother is weak and can't stand the long journey. If you want to see him, you can go to the Taiping Palace in person."
System: [You are not angry.]
Xue Chen: [Because I suddenly figured it out. What Beef Soup meant should be what the old man meant. They don't seem to be very close, but they are biological father and daughter after all, and will never betray each other.]
System: [How can you be sure that you won't betray? Xue Chen: Because
Lu Xiaofeng was quite shocked when Ye Xue of Youling Villa killed her father. It can be seen that in the author's cognition, this kind of blood relationship is extremely important. Beef Soup likes to cook and likes to kill. Apart from that, she seems to have no other ideas. She has no conflict of interest with the old man. My brother is different. My brother's goal is possible to achieve. After it is achieved, it will become uncontrollable.
Beef Soup said playfully: "I'm not going to the Taiping Palace. If my ninth brother's plan is exposed, my ninth brother will have to kill me."
Xue Chen glanced at the shelf next to the bed and found that it was empty. There was no sword or whip.
Beef Soup noticed his line of sight: "What is the ninth brother looking for?"
System: I have a feeling that you are going to perform some indescribable scenes next. 】
Xue Chen:【Do you want to see it?】
System:【No! I don’t want to!】
