Just as he met a three thousand year old fox, he heard the fox say that there was an old wolf of the same age as him. Being able to establish a relationship with these two antique-level veterans, Tu Nian couldn't help but sigh that the world of cultivating immortals is indeed colorful.
"Is your...brother still alive?"
Tu Nian chose his words deliberately, but Bo Qiu didn't care much.
"He and I are not brothers. We just happened to be blessed by the power of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox. As for whether he is still alive."
He paused, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Before the tribulation, I hadn't seen him for three to five hundred years. But considering his level of cultivation, he probably wouldn't die so easily. So, most likely, he's still alive."
"Is that so?" Tu Nian smacked his lips. "Then I guess the relationship between you two must not be very good."
Bo Qiu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "You know this again?"
Tu Nian shrugged, "It's obvious. You two are on your own, and you and he are not brothers. You didn't go to him to reminisce after the thunderbolt. You are so estranged. If I were to say that you two are more timid when you are close to home, then I would be stretching it."
Bo Qiu smiled in relief. "Indeed, our relationship isn't great. In the past, we were rivals of equal strength, but now, enemies would be a more accurate description."
"Is this true? You two are both so old and still holding grudges?"
Tu Nian blinked and clung to his arm, her gossip radar going off, "Why? A vixen?"
"Female vixen?" Bo Qiu laughed angrily and pinched her cheek. "I really want to knock your head open to see what's inside."
Tu Nian dodged in pain, rubbing her face and glancing at him resentfully, "It was just a joke, why did you take it so seriously? Boring. Besides, this is just a reasonable guess. I wonder if I'm right, as you're so anxious."
Bo Qiu took a deep breath.
He boasted that he had lived a very insightful life for more than three thousand years, and had seen all kinds of things, big and small, and had long since trained himself to be calm and invulnerable to all kinds of things.
How come after being struck by lightning, his temper seems to have become worse? Ever since he got together with this girl, he wants to kill someone every few days. Is this normal?
Just as he was preparing himself mentally, he saw Tu Nian suddenly come up to him with a tentative look on her face and nudge him with her thin arm.
"It doesn't matter if you're right. I've seen many people stab their brothers for women, so I won't look down on you."
“…”
Bo Qiu was completely defeated. He pinched his brow helplessly and said, "There is no such thing as a female vixen. The grudge between him and me all stems from our clan."
"During my trip to the Demon Clan, Yuwen Futu told me that the one who attacked the Tushan clan and then pursued the Tushan lineage until it was all gone was the Wolf clan."
After a long silence, Tu Nian's empathetic expression gradually lost its luster. Just when Bo Qiu thought she was going to be sad about the passing of time, what followed was a listless sigh from her.
"Hey, what did I think it was?"
Compared to the things that give her a headache just thinking about the struggle for fame, wealth and power, love stories are more suitable for her physique.
As she thought so, she naturally showed an indifferent expression, but in Bo Qiu's eyes it was very strange.
If the previous words only proved that Tu Nian was an eccentric character, then her reaction to this news was really not right.
Bo Qiu's sudden silence and suspicious look made Tu Nian suddenly realize that his reaction was wrong.
According to this statement, the original owner's biological parents were both killed by the Lang clan. Even if she had no idea about Tushan, it was impossible for her to just brush off the matter when it came to her own parents, right?
Thinking of this, Tu Nian quickly changed his indifferent expression into a forced smile, then half-lowered his head in a forced calm, creating a state of self-deprecation and unwillingness to mention sad things. He said to himself: "So many years have passed, and I am the only one left in the Tushan clan now. It's hard to survive. I can't just fight against them with my own strength and seek revenge."
However, after hearing her words, Bo Qiu remained silent, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes as he looked at her.
Finished.
Tu Nian walked with his head down, thinking in his heart that something was wrong.
I have been wearing this vest peacefully for such a long time, I can't let it fall off today just because I said something wrong!
Even just revealing her true identity was the least of her worries. If this old fox knew she wasn't his junior and had been taking advantage of him for so long, would she still be alive?
Tu Nian's mind was in turmoil. At this moment, she only hated herself for not being an ostrich and burying her head so that the old fox would stop staring at her.
Fortunately, even if doubts arise, genes cannot deceive people.
Tu Nian's orthodox Tushan bloodline was there, and Bo Qiu could not think of the so-called "possession" even if he racked his brains. In addition, Tu Nian's excuses were not too poor. After a long silence, Bo Qiu finally chose to believe in his perception of the Tushan bloodline.
Retracting his gaze, he slowly said, "If I hadn't tested your Tushan bloodline, I would have thought I had the wrong person."
"What?" Tu Nian pretended not to understand.
"No problem."
Seeing that Bo Qiu didn't say anything more, Tu Nian quickly changed the subject and asked, "So, those people from the Lang clan are looking for me this time, most likely to kill me to silence me, or to cut off the Tushan clan's inheritance?"
"That's probably true, so I prepared that Lotus Stone for you."
Bo Qiu said, "If they really are after your life, as long as they can conceal your Tushan bloodline, I think it won't be long before they believe you've met a doomed fate and won't come looking for you again."
Tu Nian nodded in agreement, then looked up at his expression and said hesitantly, "Actually, would you be willing to let them go like this?"
“There’s nothing to put aside.”
Bo Qiu yawned lazily, his eyes indifferent. "Everyone has their own destiny, and the Tushan lineage's fate is determined by heaven. Compared to using other reasons to conclude that the Tushan lineage's demise, I am more inclined to believe that the Tushan clan's luck was cut off, and therefore declined."
"To put it bluntly, it's just about leaving it to fate?"
Tu Nian, who had just ignored Tu Shanshi, curled his lips and said, "You are the ancestor, but you don't have the qualities of an ancestor."
She said she was standing up for Tushan, but in her heart she was thinking, Bo Qiu was so cold-blooded and heartless about the decline of Tushan's entire clan. If she died one day, would this man just smile indifferently, say "it's fate", and then forget her in the long river of his life?
Tu Nian was thinking this in her heart, but she didn't know whether she was afraid that Bo Qiu was too objective or she didn't want to listen to some coaxing words, so she didn't ask it out loud. Naturally, she didn't know Bo Qiu's answer.
The two of them followed the snow-covered team and chatted casually. The atmosphere was not bad, but there was a vague sense of weirdness.
