Is this often the case?
Is he a rebellious teenager?
Wen Rong was still somewhat curious. She urgently needed the old housekeeper to answer her questions.
"Butler Jin, is Young Master Xie not on good terms with the old master?"
"It's not just bad, it's extremely bad." Butler Jin sighed. He had never seen Mr. Xie come since he started working there, not even once.
The young master is just an ordinary person, no matter how bad-tempered he is, he still longs for family affection.
But Xie's father never contacted the young master once, as if this son did not exist.
"They are all Mr. Xie's sons, why is there such a big difference?"
Lao Jin said: "Because Master Xie is very special."
"What's so special about it?"
Lao Jin kept his mouth shut and said nothing, making a gesture of invitation.
Wen Rong wisely chose to leave, and as soon as she got out, she couldn't wait to talk to Xue Mingqi. "What's so special about Xie Kunning?"
"He has the Nine Yin Body. The formation was tailor-made for him, with the goal of continuing the Xie family's glory and honor, or rather, luck."
Wen Rong suddenly understood. No wonder the Xie family disliked him but still had to support him, because he could influence the fate of the family.
No wonder the Xie family is so prosperous, they are using living people for sacrifice.
"Isn't that illegal?"
Xue Mingqi's lips curled up in a hint of sarcasm. "Which do you choose, the family or the individual? Using your life alone can affect the family's glory for decades. No matter how you look at it, this deal seems worth it."
"Is there any humanity left?"
Wen Rong only felt cold sweat and chill all over her body.
"Human nature is the most ridiculous thing. When you're poor, you can share a piece of bread with two people, but when you're rich, a gold bar can cause two relatives to fight each other, and they become like two completely different people.
"A century-old family like theirs has to sacrifice some of its own interests if it wants to continue its glory. As for the sacrificed ones, who cares? The minority always obeys the majority!"
"Mingqi, even if you get Xie Zhiyi's body, you will still be imprisoned here. Is it really worth it to never be free?"
Xue Mingqi shook his head. "I won't. I have a way to get out."
"What's the solution?" Wen Rong's eyes lit up. If she could get out, she could stay with Xue Mingqi forever. It was a win-win situation no matter how you looked at it.
"Put all the consequences on He Wenxiu."
What does this have to do with He Wenxiu?
Wen Rong's eyes were filled with confusion and she urgently needed an explanation from Xue Mingqi.
"He provoked me." He got goosebumps all over his body when he thought of He Wenxiu coveting his body.
He hated the love between Long Yang and hated being made a fool of by others even more.
Anyone who sees him in this embarrassing state will die.
"Hurry back and make medicine, we don't have time."
"Oh, I forgot if you hadn't reminded me. How can I make medicine if the supplies haven't been delivered?"
And she knows nothing about pharmaceutical manufacturing, what should she do?
"It's okay, I'll teach you. Go back and read what I teach you first to avoid being exposed."
Time passed slowly, night fell, and the person in the master bedroom had changed his mind.
As soon as it was time for dinner, Xie Zhiyi appeared at the table on time.
After being taught a lesson by Xie Kunning, Wen Rong chose to hide in her room to eat and not touch the plague god, Young Master Xie.
Facing the empty dining table, Xie Zhiyi saw that the seat across from him was still empty, and felt a little disappointed. "Uncle Jin, has Mr. He come out?"
"No, Master, are you going to wait for him to have dinner together?"
Xie Zhiyi nodded. "Bring him here."
"Master, wait a moment."
After leaving the restaurant, Lao Jin walked around and around to He Wenxiu's room.
Out of courtesy, he knocked on the door. "Mr. He, the young master invites you to dinner."
"Here I am." Xu Jing put the refined pills into a jade bottle and then went out.
"Would you like to eat with me, Ms. Wen?"
Old Jin shook his head. "She's eating in her room."
"What a shame, otherwise I could discuss alchemy experience with Ms. Wen."
It must be plagiarized experience. Lao Jin rolled his eyes in a corner where the surveillance camera couldn't see.
He even has the nerve to say that he can make pills. Even the recipe is almost the same as the one provided by Miss Wen. How shameless.
Xu Jing stopped and said with a smile: "Is Lao Jin very dissatisfied with me?"
"I dare not. Mr. He is too sensitive. I dare to ask, is the elixir ready?"
"That's not your concern." Xu Jing whispered, "Are you trying to find out information for Miss Wen?"
"How could that be? I always stand on the young master's side. Mr. He is still too sensitive."
That's not necessarily true. In the original story, the butler betrayed the male supporting character. If he hadn't switched sides so quickly, the male supporting character could have held on for a few more days.
Obviously, the butler is not trustworthy.
"Mr. He, please give me the pill once you've refined it. I'll have to arrange for a laboratory to test the specific ingredients of the pill before deciding whether to give it to the young master."
"Okay." He had refined enough pills anyway, so he could give one to him to test. "Anything else you want to say?"
"Mr. He, I hope the relationship between you and the young master remains pure."
"What do you mean?" Xu Jing stopped.
"It's all about emotion, but it's all about propriety. To be honest, the master already knows about your relationship with the young master, and he won't agree."
Xie Zhiyi looked at the surveillance camera in the corridor and kept silent.
"Brother, you and He Wenxiu have no future. The most urgent thing is to save our lives. Only when we are alive will we have time to think about other things."
Xie Zhiyi smiled, his eyes filled with desolation. "Brother, don't you think we've been living in someone else's shadow all our lives? No matter what we do, we're constrained, and we can't even decide our own fate. This life is truly miserable."
Xie Kunning remained silent. It was undeniable that Xie Zhiyi knew much more than him and knew which knife would hurt the most.
In the corridor, Xu Jing was still talking nonsense with Lao Jin.
"I see."
"You'd better understand clearly that you can't afford the price of touching the young master."
Xu Jing laughed. "What a joke. I know everything, so why would I be afraid of a threat? Isn't it the Xie family's biggest fear that their Qi flow disappears in an instant?"
"The Xie family will always be prosperous." Old Jin still expected the Xie family to provide for his livelihood for the rest of his life. "The young master will also survive."
It is better not to live than to live like a zombie. It is better to die early.
Xu Jing sometimes thought that even if he saved Xie Zhiyi, he would not be able to take him out.
Xie Zhiyi can only leave if the formation is broken.
Even if he got out, without the protection of the Xie family, he wouldn't even have the living conditions of an ordinary person.
How can he support himself if he leaves the Xie family?
Even if he can support himself, will the bankrupt Xie family let the innocent Xie Zhiyi go?
They will only bring the man who bankrupted the Xie family to justice. It's a tragedy no matter how you look at it.
From the moment Xu Jing stepped into this game of chess, it was destined that the two of them would not have a happy ending.
Since he will die sooner or later, it would be better for him to go first. At least he will feel better.
