Chapter 1065 Myself One Year Ago, and Xu Nian Today

"Can I stay?"

When Xu Nian said this, his eyes were full of expectation when he looked at me, but I hesitated at this moment.

When I brought Xu Nian out of Xu Village, I promised him that I would send him to another Xu family. Although the two Xu families belong to different branches, they all have the blood of the Xu family flowing in their bodies, and they are of the same lineage.

Afterwards, I did fulfill my promise and brought Xu Nian to Xu Village and sent him to the Xu family.

But to be honest, when I came to the Xu family and felt the weird atmosphere of the Xu family, my idea suddenly wavered.

If it was the previous Xu family, I would agree without hesitation and keep Xu Nian here.

But the Xu family is too weird now. Not only is the mansion filled with an almost unpleasant smell of blood, but even the atmosphere is indescribably oppressive.

Moreover, Xu Zhengchun's various actions are also extremely strange. Obviously, Xu Zhengchun is hiding something from me.

"Qian Yu?" Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, Xu Zhengchun called me and said, "Xu Nian has been with you for such a long time, it is natural for you to have feelings for him, but Xu Nian has the blood of my Xu family in his body after all. As the elder of the Xu family, it is understandable for me to keep him by my side. So, if you really can't make a decision, then let Xu Nian make the decision himself. What do you think...?"

At this point, Xu Zhengchun suddenly covered his mouth and began to cough.

He coughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, just like an asthma patient who suddenly had an attack.

He took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket. After opening it, a strong smell of blood immediately wafted out of the bottle. Then, Xu Zhengchun poured out a red pill from the bottle and swallowed it directly with his head tilted back.

But when I saw the pill, I frowned deeply.

The pill was about the size of a fingertip, blood red, and there was a deep black in the red. The color... was similar to the appearance of a pool of coagulated blood.

"This pill..." I narrowed my eyes and looked at the porcelain bottle in his hand.

At this moment, I was sure that the faint smell of blood on Xu Zhengchun came from this small porcelain bottle.

"Hu..." At this time, Xu Zhengchun finally stopped coughing, took a long breath, and said: "In that incident, I went deep into the ancient tomb, and my body was infected by the corpse qi and the evil spirit, leaving me with a hidden disease. This year, I can only rely on the power of medicine to suppress it."

At this point, Xu Zhengchun smiled bitterly: "Although I have Taoism, I am not good at body refining and magic. Only the art of Liu Yao and Feng Shui are still good. And my Xu family suffered heavy losses in the incident last year. Qian Yu, I won't hide it from you. In fact, our Xu family... There is no one suitable to inherit my inheritance."

After hearing Xu Zhengchun's words, my pupils shrank immediately: "You mean, all the young people in the Xu family have..."

"No." Xu Zhengchun shook his head: "It's not what you imagined. In that incident, although my Xu family also lost some young people, there are still many survivors, and many young people were sent away in advance. But... these people have received education in the new era. To the things left by our ancestors, they don't say they sneer at them, but they also maintain a half-believing and half-doubting mentality. Therefore, these descendants of the Xu family who have no reverence for their ancestors are no longer suitable to inherit my legacy."

Xu Zhengchun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I thought that the inheritance of my Xu family would be completely cut off, but what I never expected was that I would meet him."

Xu Zhengchun looked at Xu Nian, and then said to me: "Qian Yu, you should know how precious the things left by our ancestors are to us. If the inheritance of my Xu family is really cut off with me, then...how can I have the face to see my ancestors, and how can I have the face to say that I am...a member of the Xu family?"

I looked at Xu Zhengchun, hesitated again and again, and finally shook my head.

"I brought him out of the village. I don't care about the inheritance of your Xu family. I just want him to live well. After all, he is the only survivor in his village."

After hearing what I said, Xu Zhengchun's expression was extremely complicated, and I couldn't bear to look at him, fearing that I would change my mind if I was soft-hearted. I hurriedly grabbed Xu Nian's arm and pulled him out with me.

But to my surprise, Xu Nian actually shook his head at me.

"I want to stay." I was stunned, and looked down at Xu Nian, and saw that his expression was extremely serious. When he saw me looking at him, he continued to say to me: "During this time... Thank you for taking care of me. I have been very good and happy. I even went to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and even the Great Wall in the imperial capital. These are all things I could never have seen before. It is you who let me see a wider world, and I also realized my own insignificance during this time. Brother Qian Yu, I... I want to become stronger. I don't want to be a waste who can only be taken care of by others, and can't do anything when others are in danger. "

After hearing his words, my heart was shocked.

Because I know what he is talking about.

When I was in the capital, I encountered danger, and Xu Nian could only worry in the hotel, but could not help at all.

He could survive in such harsh conditions in Xu Village, so his mind must be far superior to his peers, and he must be much more mature. The more mature people are, the more they think, and the less they want to be a burden.

But I never thought that he would think so much, and I never thought that this sixteen-year-old boy who was always taciturn on weekdays actually had a deep desire for power.

"Brother Qianyu, I like this place because... I feel a friendly atmosphere from him. I know that we are of the same bloodline. I can feel the call of blood. It is a... very strange feeling. I can't explain it, but I just want to stay."

At this point, Xu Nian suddenly lowered his head, and with red eyes, he whispered: "Brother Qianyu, didn't you say that all good things must come to an end? It's not like we won't see each other again in the future. When you are free, just come back to see me often."

After saying that, he suddenly raised his head and grinned at me.

Looking at this still skinny boy, I seemed to see myself a year ago in a trance.

At that time, I was frustrated by the incident in the village, and I also had a deep desire for strength.

People always have to go through some things before they can grow rapidly. I was last year, and so is Xu Nian today.

I took a deep breath, then touched Xu Nian's head and said, "Okay, then you stay."

"Really?" Xu Nian's eyes lit up, and I nodded: "Really."

After I finished speaking, I took out a talisman from my pocket, quietly stuffed it into Xu Nian's pocket, and said: "This talisman is a mother-child talisman. If you are in danger, just spit a mouthful of blood on this talisman and it will ignite by itself. At that time, no matter where I am, I will rush over to you."
