Zong Xu paused, his heart trembling.

Just like it has been since childhood.

His elder brother can always give him a certain amount of pressure.

This does not change even if the other party becomes smaller.

Jiuchen only said two words, and he couldn't disobey.

The resentment and resentment in his heart surged, but when he turned around, he had a pleasant expression on his face.

"Brother, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Jiuchen's little back was straight as he knelt in front of a low table. A cup of gradually cooling tea in front of him reflected his fair and handsome face.

Her long eyelashes were slightly raised, revealing a pair of eyes with distinct black and white, exceptionally clear, as if she knew everything, yet was keeping a low profile.

"No need to bother. I came here just to change clothes," Jiuchen said as he stood up. "I've already notified someone to pick me up on the way."

Zong Xu: “…”

Zong Xu's original plan was to appease Jiuchen first.

Notify the Council of Elders? He would naturally go back and notify them.

but.

It has to be after killing Jiuchen.

Yes, that's what he intended.

If those killers he hired are useless, doesn't he have to do it himself?

Although he doesn't know why his elder brother came to him, he can't blame his younger brother for being cruel since he has fallen into the trap.

However, when Jiuchen said that he had already notified someone to pick him up.

Proof that what he did in his own house had spread out.

If Jiuchen makes any mistake, even his closest brother will not be able to escape the suspicion of the Council of Elders and will eventually die.

Thinking of this, Zong Xu couldn't help but feel moved.

Could it be that... he already knew that I was the one who planned everything?

Zong Xu remained calm and said, "Since my brother has made arrangements, I will not interfere. However, there are villains who dare to attack my brother in the shrine. This is a serious matter. Please let Zong Xu do his part and participate in the investigation."

Zong Xu finished speaking indignantly, Jiuchen looked at him deeply and said, "I didn't expect you to keep this old dress. It fits you very well."

Having said that, he left.

The clothes he was talking about were the ones he was wearing when he was a child.

This was originally the old house of the two brothers and where they grew up.

Ever since Jiuchen was chosen as the candidate for the Holy Son, he moved out of here.

Zong Xu's heart was beating fast after hearing what Jiuchen said just now.

Seeing that everyone was almost at the door, he bowed to them and said, "Goodbye, brother."

Jiuchen didn't even turn his head and didn't even say another word.

This made Zong Xu feel even more uncomfortable. He gradually exerted force with his fingers, and his fingertips turned white.

Only after Jiuchen left completely did he feel that the air was less depressing.

He sat down on the ground, and when he came to his senses, his forehead was covered with sweat.

Seeing how useless he was, he felt angry and amused, and finally, he was filled with murderous intent.

At this time.

A graceful figure walked in from outside the door.

It's Fangtan.

"Why is your Excellency sitting on the ground?"

She ran over with the pastries in her hand to support Zong Xu.

Little did he know that he had hit the muzzle of the gun.

Zong Xu suddenly pushed her away with great force.

"ah!"

Fang Tan fell to the ground.

The plate of pastries in his hand naturally fell to the ground.

Looking at a broken pastry, Fang Tan still didn't understand what had happened.

The chin was pinched by a strong force.

A handsome and evil face enlarged in the pupils.

"Fang Tan, don't think I don't know what you did in private!" Zong Xu grinned, as if he was laughing.

"What are you saying, sir? Tan'er doesn't understand." Fang Tan denied it with trembling lips.

"Huh, you don't understand?" Zong Xu let go of her chin, brushed her cheeks with the back of his fingers, and said slowly:

"If it weren't for you saving me, you would have died long ago, you know that! I advise you to be more obedient in the future! If there is a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Bang!

As he said this, he slapped him hard.

Fang Tan was slapped until the corner of his mouth bled. He covered his burning face and turned his head away with disbelief in his eyes:

"Sir...did you hit Tan'er?"

Zong Xu was unmoved. He touched his palm and stood up straight:

"You should be content with just a slap in the face for your life."

The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

He already knew that Su Changzhao was killed by Fang Tan.

It was just a slap on Fangtan's face, which was already considered a special favor.

“…”

Seeing this, Fang Tan was speechless, and she didn't dare to say anything.

"Get lost now! Don't let me see you again for the next few days!"

The more Zong Xu looked at her, the angrier he became. He was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and kill her, so he had to scold her away.

Fortunately, Fang Tan was sensible this time. He ran out without saying a word.

His eyes cleared, Zong Xu looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh.

After being disturbed by Fang Tan, he was also able to escape from Jiuchen's shadow.

Although he was angry, he also figured it out.

Jiuchen is not dead, and the doll that was so hard to find and love is also gone. These are the facts. Things have come to this point and cannot be changed. We can only take long-term measures.

There are two things waiting for him to do now.

The first is to get rid of those useless killers.

Regardless of whether Jiuchen has seen their faces or not, it is better to get rid of them just in case.

The second one——

That is to find a beautiful puppet that can rival Su Changzhao and train him again.

But whenever he thought of this, he couldn't help feeling regretful.

It was because Su Changzhaoying was the most perfect puppet he had ever seen.

He was confident that such a perfect doll would be able to fulfill his wish and impress his arrogant brother.

It’s a pity... all of this was ruined by that jealous woman Fang Tan.

The other side.

Su, who was considered dead by everyone, sneezed several times in the street for no apparent reason.

A-choo! A-choo!

Su Changzhao rubbed his nose and rubbed it with his arms folded.

"What happened? Did you catch a cold from sleeping in the cold these days?"

After sniffing a few times, I didn’t feel any discomfort in my body, so I let it go.

She is now looking for a place to stay.

In the previous world, she bought someone else's house.

She wasn't going to do that in this world.

There are no ordinary people around Lord Lingzi's mansion.

The nobles and dignitaries would certainly not look down upon her small amount of gold, let alone ask her to move.

In order to reach the teleportation point in time when the red moon appears.

She could only stay in a private room in the nearest inn for a long time.

However, when she just walked into the inn.

A bullock cart happened to pass by.

The person in the car was none other than Jiuchen.

He was sitting upright in the ox cart. Even though his body had turned into that of a child, his cold and noble temperament remained the same. Anyone who saw him would think he was illustrious and distinguished.

However, when he took a casual glance and saw Su Changzhao's back, he immediately recognized her.

Is it her?

She hasn't left yet?

His eyes couldn't help but stare at Su Changzhao as he walked into an inn.

Generally speaking, staying in an inn means having no place to stay.

Then she should not be from Yundu City.

He took the money and refused to leave. Could it be that he had some other purpose for staying in Yundu?

As soon as he finished thinking about it, he felt that he was too idle.

As a spiritual being, why would you care about a woman whose name you can't even pronounce?

He shook his head slowly, cleared away unnecessary thoughts, retracted his gaze, and looked straight ahead.

The oxcart moves farther and farther away...
