Chapter 126 Jin丨Jiang Wenxue Exclusive Release (17,000 nutrient solution plus update)

Xue Chen asked Xiao He to go out and continued to stare at the incense burner in a daze.

Smoke slowly floated out from the hollow golden cover, as if it had a solid body, rising to a high place before dispersing and completely disappearing.

Xue Chen: [Open a new vest later.]

System: [Are you sure?]

Xue Chen: [When I drew Xiao Liu, it was verified that I can overcome the pain of opening a vest and will not faint directly. It’s not a big problem to open a vest now, and the main body can take advantage of the illness to rest for a few more days.]

System: [Are you really going to let your father take over Qingyi Building? 】

Yun Heyan asked his subordinates to go to Qingyi Tower to meet him in ten days. He and Lu Xiaofeng set out for the capital, preparing to go back and forth within ten days, and ask King Taiping to send someone over.

Now Yun Heyan has left the back mountain and is about to leave the city.

Xue Chen: [My father is busy enough now, how can he have so much energy. He is in charge of the army and horses in the world, and it seems that he has established a firm foothold in the court. In fact, he has a big shortcoming in the power of the rivers and lakes, and is not enough to compete with Jinfengxiyu Tower and Liufenbantang.

[The addition of Qingyi Tower can effectively make up for this shortage. I plan to persuade my father to let me manage Qingyi Tower. 】

System: [But you are sick. 】

Xue Chen:【It is because I am sick that I need stronger security. I will soon enter the court, Cai Jing and others will not ignore me. If they can't stop me, they will suppress me. If I have nothing, how can I fight these people? I might die of illness the day after I get the real power.】

System:【With your brother here, that won't happen. But I do need some protection and can't always rely on others.】

Xue Chen stared at the incense burner for too long, his eyes were a little dry, he blinked:【Try to get the synchronization rate of the new vest to 30% before the cotton comes over. 】

Gong Jiu saw that he had been silent, so he whispered, "Brother."

Xue Chen retracted his gaze and said calmly, "I can't help but have random thoughts on weekdays, and my head is very tired. Occasionally, I empty myself and feel much more comfortable. No wonder you always like to be alone."

Gong Jiu was not happy at all that his brother understood him. He was more concerned about the previous sentence.

Is it true that his brother is overthinking, so he has a headache?

It should be for himself.

Xue Chen: "What do the people on the Nameless Island think of you?"

System: [Aren't you going to continue to hide it from him and pretend that you know nothing? Why do you still ask such dangerous questions? Aren't you afraid that he will expose himself? 】

Xue Chen: [He is a snail, and I can't pull him out. What should I be afraid of ? 】

Gong Jiu lowered his head: "They are all afraid of me."

Xue Chen: "Are they so afraid of you that they whipped you the first time they met you?"

Gong Jiu would have a reaction every time he saw a whip, and he could only stay calm by suppressing it. Normally, as long as he didn't let his mind wander when he heard the word "whip", he would basically not be affected.

But these two words came from his brother's mouth.

Gong Jiu couldn't help but hold his breath, and his eyes fell on Xue Chen's chest.

The eldest brother was wearing a middle shirt at this time, covering the whip marks on his skin.

Although he couldn't see it, Gong Jiu still remembered what the wound looked like.

Xue Chen was in poor health, thin, and his skin was extremely pale. The whip mark was very long, extending from the bottom of the shoulder to the ribs on the other side.

A few days later, the wound had healed and dark blood scabs had formed, but it was not difficult to imagine which part of the whip the other party used and how hard he whipped.

He felt sorry for his elder brother's injury, and he also hated the other party for daring to attack his elder brother. He was afraid that the secret he tried hard to hide would be known by him.

At the same time, he couldn't help but fantasize that it would be great if his elder brother could accept him like this.

His elder brother had always treated him well and would meet his requests...

Gong Jiu's cheeks were slightly red, and he looked at Xue Chen with a pitiful look.

Xue Chen: "I don't know how you get along with them, which makes many people on the Nameless Island want to beat you, but this is definitely not a proper way to get along with people."

Gong Jiu was stunned: "What?"

Xue Chen: "You are the prince of Taiping Palace, my dear brother. You know your limits at home. Why do you have to be so humble when you go out?"

Gong Jiu was stunned.

Xue Chen: "Nameless Island is not a good place. The people there are too tyrannical. You have been bullied on the island, so why do you want to stay there?"

Gong Jiu opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.

He already understood what his elder brother meant.

His elder brother didn't realize his masochistic habit at all. The reason why he was so angry was that he thought he was too weak outside and allowed others to bully him. He used this way of compromise to make friends with the people on the island.

If that was really the case, he had indeed let go of his dignity and lived worse than a dog, no wonder his elder brother was so angry.

However, the real situation was not like that!

Gong Jiu didn't know whether to be thankful that his elder brother didn't know how disgusting he was, or whether he should feel disappointed. He originally thought that he would confess everything today and be honest with his brother, but he still couldn't take that step.

Xue Chen was so angry that he couldn't make it: "I really don't know, if you continue to stay there, is it to avenge your father, or to avenge yourself."

Gong Jiu lowered his head and suppressed his body's reaction.

Xue Chen: "During the days when Xie Heng lived in the mansion, I saw that your clothes seemed to be stained with dirt. You refused to let me see it and ran away in a hurry. Is it because of this?"

Gong Jiu: "...Yes."

Xue Chen: "Is it blood on your clothes?"

Gong Jiu: "Yes."

Xue Chen: "Who beat you?"

Gong Jiu wanted to answer Xie Heng, but thinking of Xie Heng's weak and disabled appearance, even if he said it, his eldest brother would not believe it, so he changed his words and said: "Hu Sheng."

Xue Chen: "Whoever it is has the qualifications to bully you?"

Gong Jiu had not made up his mind to face his brother, and the reason he came here was completely pushed by the words of King Taiping. If Xue Chen hadn't suddenly opened the door and called him in, he would have left now.

He was originally hesitant because he didn't know how his elder brother would treat the dirty and filthy him.

Now that he knew his elder brother didn't know the truth, he didn't want to fall to that level again, and subconsciously concealed: "It's not like that... Mr. Hu was sent by Wu Ming to monitor Xie Heng, and he has a high status on the island, so..."

Xue Chen: "You are really lying to me."

Gong Jiu slightly widened his eyes, not sure where he said the wrong thing.

Could it be that what his elder brother said just now was all a lie to him?

Xue Chen didn't let him worry for too long, and continued: "You told me before that you were the leader of the Nameless Island and that you and the old man jointly managed the island."

Gong Jiu: "I dare not lie to you, brother, everything I said is true."

Xue Chen: "They are indeed very respectful to you, but I still don't understand why they would whip you since they obey your orders?"

Gong Jiu: "That's because... when I first entered the island, in order to lower Wu Ming's vigilance and let him think that I was easy to control, I took the initiative to give him something. They thought that I had a unique hobby and liked to be abused. So after I got my feet on the ground, they would still use this to please me."

System: [???]

Xue Chen: [Hehe, masochism is Gong Jiu's hobby, what does it have to do with Xue Lian?]

System: [He can't pretend all his life. 】

Xue Chen: [Then just do it secretly at home, just cut off ties with Wuming Island. 】

Gong Jiu seldom lies, even if he wants to scheme against someone, he deliberately misleads others, and he almost never deceives with words.

But now he is making up lies to deceive his brother.

Gong Jiu felt a little uncomfortable, but more uneasy.

He didn't know why he said such a thing. He can scheme against anyone and control everything, but he can't control anything with his brother.

Gong Jiu knew that his eldest brother knew him too well, and he cared too much about his eldest brother, so he was always in a passive situation.

By saying such words, he completely lost the right to confess in front of his eldest brother in the short term.

Gong Jiu wanted to hide the truth from his brother, and he didn't care about these things. What he cares more about now is whether his twin brother, who knows him so well, will see through his lies.

If he is exposed by his elder brother, will he tell the truth?

System: [Why don't you say anything?]

Xue Chen: [Can't you see that I am bullying him. My brother doesn't care about many things, but this now. He is on the edge of danger. The longer I remain silent, the more uncomfortable he will be.]

System: [How many bills does he still owe?]

Xue Chen: [I don't know.]

System: [Huh? Xue Chen: [

I haven't counted them, and grudges are not recorded by item. Some things are more serious, and some things are less serious. It's unfair to record them all together. It's better to follow emotions. I will keep taking revenge until he becomes pleasing to my eyes.]

The system was extremely scared. It was also retaliated by Xue Chen in this way before! It

must learn from this lesson in the future, otherwise it doesn't know how the host will take revenge...

Xue Chen felt that the time for silence was almost up. He looked at Gong Jiu with a gentle look, with a bit of pity, as if he was looking at a fool who was deceived because he was too mentally retarded.

He felt helpless and distressed: "I'm sorry for you." Gong Jiu also knew that the reasons he found were a bit far-fetched, but he didn't know the way, couldn't count, and was often in a daze. He was incompatible with ordinary people. All these big brothers knew it very well.

In a place where you are unfamiliar with everyone, in order to fit in, it is not strange to be forced to lie that you like being beaten...

Gong Jiu was secretly angry. In the eyes of his elder brother, he must be extremely stupid.

Xue Chen waved his hand at him: "Come here."

Gong Jiu walked over and sat on the stool beside the bed.

Xue Chen: "Does it hurt? It must be very uncomfortable to be treated like this by them for so many years. Are there any scars on your body?"

Gong Jiu: "Wu Ming taught me powerful internal skills. I can recover from injuries in an instant without leaving any traces."

Xue Chen said dejectedly: "My body is intact, but my heart is already scarred. You suffered so much outside, but I didn't know anything. As a brother, I couldn't protect you..."

"It's none of your business, big brother." Gong Jiu said, "I chose this path myself, it has nothing to do with you."

"You haven't known the road since you were a child, and you didn't even know you went astray." Xue Chen held his hand, "Don't hide it from me anymore, let me lead the way for you."

Gong Jiu felt that the current situation was beautiful like a dream.

He had prepared himself to be abandoned, but unexpectedly, things turned out well and he was taken care of by his elder brother again.

He looked at his brother and said softly, "Okay."
