Translator: 549690339
The girl was crying very sadly, but she tried her best to suppress her sobs, as if she didn’t want others to hear.
Tang Zhen quietly sighed in his heart when he saw the tear-stained appearance of the girl. He guessed that the family of this girl might have already met with misfortune. Otherwise, she would not display such a painful expression of missing someone when she saw the object.
“Dong Dong Dong!”
There was a sudden knock on the door. The girl seemed to be frightened and her body trembled slightly. She hurriedly stretched out her sleeve to wipe away the remaining tears at the corner of her eyes, and then carefully hid the painting under the bed.
He stood up and opened the door. A fourteen to fifteen-year-old youth in black clothes appeared outside.
“Sister, I’m back!”
The young man in Black had a bright smile on his face. His light yellow long hair and fair skin made him look very handsome. There was an ordinary long sword tied to the youth’s back. Perhaps it was because he had used it often, but the hilt was worn out.
you’re back, Rui. Dinner’s ready. Hurry up and eat!
The young girl smiled and stepped aside, allowing the young man to enter.
After a simple wash of his hands, the young man removed the long sword from his back and placed it at the foot of the bed. Then, he sat in front of the stone table where he was cooking.
The young girl filled a large bowl with Mushroom and Potato Soup and placed it in front of the young man. She then filled a small bowl for herself.
The black-clothed youth named Xiao Rui stirred his food with a spoon and looked at the young girl’s slightly red eyes. He hesitated for a moment before saying, ” sister, you’re crying. Your eyes are red and swollen. Are you missing your parents again? ”
The girl didn’t seem to want to show her weakness and helplessness in front of her brother. She quickly shook her head and denied, ” “Nothing happened. I just didn’t sleep well last night.”
The young man seemed to be struggling. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, ” “Sister, you don’t have to work so hard to earn brain beads. I’ll be able to advance to a Rank 2 cultivator soon, and then I’ll be able to get more subsidies. I can also team up with my classmates to hunt monsters in the wilderness.”
Before the young man could finish his sentence, his sister’s expression changed and she reprimanded him with a hint of anger, ” “You don’t need to worry about the family’s expenses. You just need to cultivate. I’m warning you, you’re not allowed to take even half a step out of this building before you reach Level 3. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not acknowledging you as my brother!”
The girl, who had always had a soft and weak expression, was very excited at this moment. Her pretty little face had also become a little red because of the fluctuation of her emotions.
The young man seemed to be afraid that his sister would be angry, but his expression was somewhat unwilling. He muttered to himself, ” “If it wasn’t for that bastard’s plot, mom and dad wouldn’t have died, and we would still be living happily in the upper class of loucheng. Sister, you don’t have to work so hard, Yingluo.”
“Shut up!”
The young girl’s face revealed a trace of fear. She hurriedly stopped the young man’s words, and then carefully walked to the door.
After listening carefully for a while and making sure that no one was eavesdropping, he walked to the young man with an angry face and said in a low voice, ” “Huhu Yingluo, how many times have I said this? don’t meddle in the affairs of father and mother. Also, you absolutely can’t say these words again. Why are you so disobedient? are you trying to anger your sister to death?”
As the young girl spoke, her large eyes were filled with a trace of mist.
The young man with a sullen face quickly admitted his mistake, but his expression seemed to be filled with unwillingness!
The girl sighed and sat on the bed. She said to the boy, ” “Xiao Rui, I know that you feel wronged, but things are not as simple as you think. Mom and dad are already gone, so no one will stand up for us. In fact, they know what happened better than anyone else, but what can they do?
That man is Lou Cheng’s elder. We can’t beat him now. If we swallow our anger, we might be able to continue living in Black Rock City. You can also continue to cultivate. However, if we shed all pretenses of cordiality, not only will we be driven out of the tower, but that person will also not let us go.
Promise her sister that before she reached level three, she would not take a single step out of loucheng and would have to swallow her anger. I know that person’s grandson is in the same class as you, and he has been leading his lackeys to bully you, but I beg you, please don’t be impulsive!”
The young girl’s words were sincere, and when she said these words, her thin body seemed very helpless.
Xiao Rui clenched his fists tightly as he listened to his sister’s words. The humiliation and unwillingness flashed past his eyes, but they all turned into a long sigh.
“Alright, I’ll agree to it!”
The young girl’s tears turned into a smile when she heard this, and a bright and beautiful smile appeared on her face.
He slowly walked in front of the young man and served him a spoonful of food. He smiled and said, ” “I heard that the blood Viper’s meat has the effect of helping to improve cultivation. After a while, when I get my salary, I’ll buy you one to make soup.”
The young man shook his head, then nodded, and lowered his head to eat his food in silence.
What followed was a long period of silence. During this period, even if the girl started a topic, the young man would only respond simply and not make any more movements.
The young girl sighed slightly when she saw this. A trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, but she did not say anything else.
Tang Zhen, who was invisible at the side, witnessed the entire process. During this period of time, his expression changed a few times. Finally, he sized up the young man named Xiao Rui with interest.
From this young man, he could see a deep sense of unwillingness and humiliation. This kind of extreme emotion could not only create a person, but also destroy a person.
If he could make good use of this mentality, he might be able to get some benefits for himself.
Of course, the premise was that the other party had to be willing to cooperate with him. Otherwise, it would be easy to go for wool and come home shorn.
Tang Zhen analyzed the mentality of this young man. He wanted to become strong and take revenge for his parents. He didn’t want his sister to work hard for him.
It would be very difficult to achieve these goals, at least for the siblings in front of them!
The embarrassment of life and the spying of the enemy put them in a quagmire of struggle. Wanting to stand out and take revenge was only a distant dream.
When they faced this goal, they would probably feel a deep sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, as long as Tang Zhen appeared in front of them, regardless of the role he played, as long as he could give them an obvious hope, there would be a possibility of cooperation between them.
However, when Tang Zhen was choosing his partner, he had once hesitated between siblings. In the end, he still chose his younger brother.
This young man called Xiao Rui was ambitious and angry. He was also very smart. In the face of benefits, this kind of person would neither refuse nor submit obediently. Instead, he would weigh the gains and losses.
However, this kind of person would never give up the dazzling benefits, because they knew the value of this opportunity. It was likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If you go the right way, if you step out, you’ll be rich and prosperous. If you hesitate, you’ll miss it, and you’ll be ordinary and poor!
She wasn’t like her sister, who had concerns and concerns in her heart and would rather suffer for herself than implicate her family.
However, it was precisely this kind of thinking that caused her to directly reject Tang Zhen’s cooperation. Instead, she chose to live in peace and continue to persist in her dream. No matter how long it took or how bitter it was, it was fine as long as there was hope!
Therefore, when the young man left with his sword, Tang Zhen quietly followed.
