Xue's family lives in a prosperous and wealthy commercial city. The terrain is flat, the water system is well connected, and the transportation is convenient. It is a place where people from the south and the north meet. There are large paddy fields scattered in the suburbs, one by one, embedded in the ground like a mirror.
When the red-crowned crane flies across the sky, its beautiful shadow also swims across the water. The farmers who are busy planting rice seedlings in the fields look up.
"Hurry up! Catch up with it!" The children's clear and slightly piercing laughter came from far away. A group of children, big and small, chased after the reflection of the red-crowned crane and ran across the ridge of the field. Everyone was covered in mud.
The red-crowned crane shook its wings and deliberately slowed down, causing the group of children to run wild in the field.
Senior Brother
He was playing with the children outside the city, while Yu Yi and Xue Chenjing went into the city first. The city was filled with the smell of fireworks, and the streets were lined with stalls and pedestrians. Xue Chenjing had not been back to this city for a long time. Since leaving home, he has been to many places and pretended to be many identities, but he has never set foot in this place again.
Only occasionally in dreams, he would come back.
But reality is not the same as in his dreams after all. The human world is the fastest changing place, and this city is no longer similar to what he remembers.
Yu Yi glanced aside and saw Xue Chenjing in a daze. She took his fingers and gently squeezed them, saying, "Let's go."
Xue Chenjing came back to his senses, held her hand, and led her to the street where the Xue Mansion was located.
The Xue family had been doing business for generations, and their wealth had been accumulated from their ancestors. They were one of the richest families in the city, and their houses were tall and wide. The outer wall made of bluestone almost took up half of the street.
Dengnan Street was full of wealthy families like the Xue family. There were no shops or wine houses, nor were there peddlers or hawkers, so the street seemed much quieter.
When knocking on the door of Xue's house, the doorman who came out was stunned when he saw Xue Chenjing, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Young Master, when did you go out?"
After he asked, he noticed that the person in front of him seemed to be dressed differently from usual, and his aura was completely different, and there was a strange girl next to him.
The doorman became more and more confused, his mind turned back and forth, and he didn't know whether to go back and report or let them in first.
Xue Chenjing heard the question and thought of something. His expression suddenly darkened. He asked, "Has Xue Mingyuan come back?"
The doorman opened his mouth in surprise and replied blankly, "Ah, Master Mingyuan is back."
The doorman was only in his twenties. In fact, he had never seen the young master who ran away from the Xue Mansion. However, he was just a doorman. It didn't matter whether he had seen him or not. He just had to listen to the orders from his superiors.
But, Manager Liu didn't say there were two young masters, did he?
When the doorman hesitated, he suddenly saw a group of people walking out quickly. The first person was wearing a white shirt and a jade crown on his head. When he walked, even the hem of his clothes seemed to be more elegant than others.
It was clearly the same face, with similar facial features, but the two people inside and outside the door gave people completely different feelings. @無限好文,盡在晉江文學城
Xue Mingyuan was as gentle as a spring breeze. When he looked at people, his eyes were always gentle and with a hint of smile. Just by looking at his face, people felt that he must be a person with a good temper and easy to get along with.
On the other hand, the person outside the door, the doorman turned back to look at Xue Chenjing, and was frightened by his increasingly gloomy face and took a step back. He was sighing in his heart, clearly the same face, why was there such a huge difference.
The door opened a little more, and Xue Mingyuan's line of sight passed the doorman, first saw Xue Chenjing, and quickly turned his gaze to Yu Yi's face, carefully looking at her, as if to confirm whether she was okay.
Xue Mingyuan looked at their arms clasped together, and under the sleeves, he could vaguely see their intertwined fingers.
On that day, under the power of thunder, he and Xue Chenjing were finally separated, and Xue Mingyuan also received his mission at the moment of separation.
His body turned into pure air, and his consciousness continued to rise into the sky. He could only watch Yu Yi jump into the torrent of demons without hesitation, and then escape into the devil's way together.

Yu Yi, has always been determined to go towards his brother, and has never looked back at him.
At that moment, Xue Mingyuan suddenly felt relieved. In the previous life, she came with her true heart, but he was afraid to accept it and chose to reject her. It was natural for her to abandon him in this life, and he could not blame anyone.
After Xue Mingyuan repaired the Tianmen, his pure spirit sank into the Tianchi for several days before he was reborn into a physical body. The order of the three realms returned, and the spirit of the immortal world began to flow again. The collapsed temple of the immortal mountain was restored bit by bit. Xue Mingyuan then climbed back and forth on the suspended corridor bridge in the heaven in the backflowing sand and broken walls.
At that time, his memory had not recovered, and he did not understand anything. He just instinctively wanted to find a living creature like himself. Unfortunately, he never found one.
He wandered aimlessly around the immortal world, from crawling to learning to walk, and then he understood a little bit of courtesy, righteousness, and learned to use clouds to transform into clothes to cover his body. But this place is so vast and boundless, but so lonely.
The memory of his previous life gradually awakened, and Xue Mingyuan finally knew who he was.
Since Xue Mingyuan appeared, Xue Chenjing's nerves have become very sensitive. He almost stood up with spikes all over his body, staring at him with hostility and vigilance.
When Xue Mingyuan's eyes turned to Yu Yi, all the muscles in his body were tensed, and his toes slightly turned sideways. He almost immediately wanted to block Yu Yi behind him, strictly and seriously, not allowing him to see anything.
Yu Yi was very close to him, so naturally he also noticed his plan. He frowned and looked up at Xue Chenjing.
Xue Chenjing's subconscious action was stopped by her look. He immediately realized that Yu Yi didn't like him doing this, and he had to learn to control his possessiveness.
Xue Chenjing didn't dare to stop Yu Yi, so he had to turn his gaze back to Xue Mingyuan and stared at him coldly.
The gate and the outside fell into an extremely strange silence. This was the first time Xue Chenjing and Xue Mingyuan met after they separated. Just the first glance of eye contact could make people feel the tension between them.
Under the tight sleeves, Yu Yi gently stroked Xue Chenjing's fingers, as if to soothe and comfort him, and soothed the hatred and murderous intent surging in his heart like smoothing hair, and whispered: "Ah Qiu, do you still remember your parents' wishes?"
Their parents have always hoped that they can return safely, and they would definitely not want to see the two brothers fighting after their death.
Xue Chenjing's body stiffened slightly, and his mind calmed down a little. He restrained himself and took a deep breath, gathering the demonic breath flowing around him inch by inch and sealing it into his body.
He ignored Xue Mingyuan, turned his head to look at the middle-aged man behind him, and said: "Liu Hua, arrange for people to set up the mourning hall."
The middle-aged man behind Xue Mingyuan was awakened by his words. Only then did he dare to believe that what he saw was not an absurd dream. He rubbed his eyes with his sleeves, took two steps forward in disbelief, and choked with excitement: "Young Master? You really broke up, I thought I was dreaming."
Liu Hua grew up with them since he was a child. Compared with the eldest son, he actually liked the young master more in his heart.
After the young master left home, he always felt guilty. The wishing sticks made by the Xue couple were made by him personally selecting the wood and cutting them into wooden sticks piece by piece. The wishing sticks also contained a trace of his thoughts. @無限好文,盡在晉江文学城
So in the mindscape created by the wishing stick, the thought of "Liu Hua" was much more vivid than that of other servants, and was also infused with a trace of his obsession.
Xue Chenjing had felt his feelings in the mindscape and knew where his obsession lay. The loss of his parents had given him a painful lesson, and he finally learned his lesson. He tried to relax his facial expression and nodded to Liu Hua in a friendly manner, saying, "Well, I'm back."
Liu Hua burst into tears after hearing his response. Xue Mingyuan patted his shoulder gently to calm his agitated emotions, then turned to Xue Chenjing and said naturally: "Come in, the mourning hall has been arranged, but my parents' bodies have not been returned, so there is no white sail."
Xue Chenjing heard this and his wrist shook violently. Yu Yi felt that his hand was empty, and the figures of the people around him disappeared. A shadow flew in front of Xue Mingyuan, grabbed his neck, and smashed him against the screen wall with a bang.
The screen wall was cracked and lime fragments fell down.
Amid the shouts of the crowd, Xue Chenjing roared and questioned: "You know! So you know?! Did you know that your sister would use my parents to set up that mind realm to surround and kill me? Did you know that they would die?"
His figure was not yet fully condensed, and the devilish aura was surging around him. The veins on the back of his hand that was pinching Xue Mingyuan's neck were bulging, and the sound of Xue Mingyuan's throat bones breaking came from under his fingers.
Yu Yi followed closely, and when he heard his question, he stopped in hesitation.
Xue Mingyuan grabbed his wrist and did not use his divine power to resist. He only squeezed out a broken explanation from his deformed throat, explaining to Xue Chenjing and the people behind him, "If... I knew it earlier, I would definitely try my best... to stop her..."
The servants around were too scared to get close. Liu Hua hurriedly wanted to step forward to persuade them to stop, but Yu Yi blocked him with his hand, "Don't go over, you will get hurt."
Liu Hua was at a loss, "But, but they..."
It was difficult for others to interfere in the feud between the two brothers, but Yu Yi believed that Xue Chenjing should know the limits.
Under the shadow wall, Xue Chenjing's body was filled with demonic energy, his sleeves fluttered, his pupils were visible from the lingering demonic energy, and he stared closely at Xue Mingyuan's eyes, as if trying to tell whether what he said was true or false.
After a long while, his fluttering sleeves fell down, the demonic energy receded, and he let go of him. Xue Chenjing sensed something unusual about the person he had just caught, and sarcastically said, "This is just your soul, brother. You only sent a little of it to the lower world to see them off?"
Xue Mingyuan slid down from the screen wall, stroking his throat and coughing for a moment, and said hoarsely, "The rules of heaven are set, and the gods and immortals from the upper world cannot come to the mortal world at will."
"The rules of heaven?" Xue Chenjing sneered, "In your broken heaven, are there any other gods and immortals besides you now? You still need the rules of heaven, it's ridiculous."
Xue Mingyuan didn't think it was ridiculous, "Even if I'm the only one, I will abide by it."
