Chapter 074 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue

The twins have no difference in appearance. The elder brother is noble and indifferent, while the younger brother is cold and arrogant. Neither of them is cheerful and cheerful, and they are often confused by outsiders.

In the past, Gong Jiu didn't like to wear white clothes, and Xue Chen didn't deliberately distinguish his clothes from his younger brother. Even King Taiping couldn't tell the two sons apart.

But in the hearts of the twins, the gap between them is so obvious. Gong Jiu can always see completely different characteristics from his elder brother.

Although they have the same face, the elder brother looks so gentle that he can't help but want to get close to him.

He sat down next to him and picked up the book on the table: "The Chapter on the Vows of the Universal Sage? When did you start to believe in Buddhism?"

Xue frowned, "I wish that all living beings will always be happy and free from all kinds of illness and pain; that all evil deeds will not be accomplished, and all good deeds will be accomplished quickly; that all doors to evil ways will be closed, and that the right path to Nirvana will be shown to humans and gods; that all the extremely severe sufferings that sentient beings experience due to their accumulation of evil karma will be borne by me; that all sentient beings will be liberated and ultimately achieve the supreme Bodhi... The Buddhists are really compassionate." (Note)

Gong Jiu was shocked when he heard

this. Has his brother been ill for too long, and is using Buddhist scriptures to relieve his depression?

Gong Jiu looked at his brother with gentle features, fearing that he would be upset: "I would rather let the world suffer from illness, so that you can be safe and healthy."

System: [Did he get the point wrong?]

Shouldn't the point be "closing all doors to evil"?

Doesn't your brother mean that you have committed too many sins, so your brother has to suffer for you?

Xue Chen: [It doesn't matter, this sentence is full of key points, not a single word is superfluous. After he goes back, he will think about it carefully.]

Xue Chen: "You're saying that again, you've been away for many years, haven't you made one or two friends? Don't you have anyone else you care about besides me?"

Gong Jiu answered without hesitation: "You are the most important."

Xue Chen: [This idiot, do you really think I don't know anything. Niu Rou Tang is his "real sister", Shaman is my mother's substitute, and with the old man as his godfather, he has built a family outside! 】

System: [Maybe in his heart, you are more important than all these people combined. 】

Xue Chen: [So does he spend more time in the palace or outside? 】

System: [I knew you were still jealous. 】

Xue Chen locked the system in a small dark room. Seeing that

he didn't say anything, Gong Jiu said again: "It is never the monks who decide the suffering and happiness of the world. How high can the vision of those monks in the world be? Aren't they still fighting with various sects. Those Taoists of Quanzhen Sect are even more fierce in character and have made many enemies outside. They all say that Buddhism is pure, but I don't think there is a pure home?"

"Are you afraid that I will become a monk?" Xue Chen looked at his brother and asked with a smile.

Gong Jiu didn't answer, and looked at him quietly.

"Lian'er, I haven't seen the outside world." Xue Chen looked out the window. The light outside was getting darker. The warm orange light shone on him through the screen. His eyes reflected the sunset, bright and dim. "Although I am your brother, I am not as good as you in every way. I can't help you and your father. Instead, I make you worry and miss me."

Gong Jiu was shocked and a little confused when he heard him say this for the first time: "Brother, why do you think so?"

Xue Chen turned around and said with a smile : "This is the truth. You are the only one who is still like when you were a child and thinks that your brother is good in everything."

Gong Jiu: "That's how it is."

Xue Chen got up and walked towards the bed, leaving Gong Jiu with a lonely back: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Gong Jiu: "Brother..."

Xue Chen: "I'm tired."

Gong Jiu didn't dare to pester him anymore: "Then I'll go back to my room and come to accompany you tomorrow."

Xue Chen lay comfortably on the bed, and without waiting for his brother to leave, he released the system.

He asked proudly: [How is it? This wave is good, right?]

System: [To be honest, I don't really understand it.]

Gong Jiu walked out of the room, turned around and glanced at him, slowly closed the door, and left reluctantly.

Xue Chen: [Do you think he cares about me?]

System: [Of course! 】

Xue Chen: [Does he care about my thoughts? 】

System: [He should care too. If you are unhappy, he will definitely try his best to make you happy. 】

Xue Chen: [I went to Longxing Mansion. After he saw me, he first blamed me, and then he was happy. My father didn't say anything, but he has a strong desire for control. 】

System: [Are you still holding a grudge? 】

Xue Chen: [How could I hold a grudge! It is obvious that his character is not only reflected in that one thing. Whether he is at home or not, as long as one of us is alive, I have to be controlled by him. How can I stand this? 】

The system still thinks he is very narrow-minded, but dare not talk back: [I can't stand it. 】

Xue Chen sneered: [In his heart, the best result is that I will always play the role of a weak brother in the palace. Whenever he turns around, he can see me. He may have considered that I have talent but can only display it in the palace, but he has never thought of changing. Instead, he uses all kinds of reasons to tie me down here. 】

System: [That's right. 】

Xue Chen: [In winter, I will go to the palace with him to meet Zhao Ji. At that time, I will work hard to participate in court affairs. Do you think my brother will stop it? 】

System: [I don't know. 】

Xue Chen: [He will definitely stop it. 】

System: [What you said is all right... But why do I feel that you are also happy lying down in the palace? 】

Xue Chen: [That's because I have opened many vests! Although I enjoy lying down even without opening a vest, I should also have the right to strive for progress. I like being single, but I also have the right to find a partner. He has already started a new family outside, so why should he stop me! 】

System: [……]

It turns out that he is still holding a grudge.

Xue Chen took off his clothes, covered himself with the quilt, and closed his eyes quietly: [When I think that my stupid brother may suffer from insomnia tonight, I feel particularly good. 】

System: [……]

Xue Chen: [Tong'er, good night, have a good dream. 】

System: [……Good night. 】

-

What Xue Chen said was a huge blow to Gong Jiu.

He has been with his brother since he was born.

The family would prepare two copies of everything. Whatever his brother has, he will have too, and whatever he has, his brother will have too.

They live in the same environment and are inseparable. They eat, sleep, and bathe together, and their relationship is as close as one person.

No one understands each other better than them. They can sense each other's emotions and know each other's joys and sorrows. Even if Gong Jiu is on a distant nameless island, he can occasionally think of his brother and vaguely guess his mood.

But Gong Jiu never knew what his brother said today.

He suddenly realized that he had been busy dealing with things outside and neglected to care for his eldest brother, which led to a rift between the brothers.

He thought he knew his elder brother very well, but before today, he had never thought about how quiet the palace would be when he and his father were not there.

How did his elder brother get through all these years without anyone by his side and always in pain?

Gong Jiu's thoughts were so complicated that he couldn't fall asleep.

So he got up and walked outside.

The lights had been turned on in the palace, and there was light everywhere, except Xue Chen's room, which was dark.

Gong Jiu suddenly panicked.

There was one thing he had always been afraid of, but because he was too scared, he didn't dare to think about it carefully.

But today he was so confused that he completely lost his sense of his brother's emotions. He didn't know what his brother was thinking, how his brother viewed him, and whether he was still willing to treat him as before.

He was afraid of losing Xue Chen.

His brother's illness was a thorn in his heart. No matter

how good his martial arts skills are, or how powerful he is, he can't discipline his brother.
