Lin Ziran took a deep breath and told himself to be calm, he is already a mature player!

He closed the box and walked on.

After walking for about ten minutes, a dark building appeared in front of me. It looked neither metal nor wood. It was so gloomy that it felt very depressing. Just standing there felt creepy, as if there was a chill coming from the skin piercing...

【Lin Ziran: Well, this place is quite suitable for shooting ghost movies...】

[System: No ghosts, don't worry. 】

Lin Ziran calmed down, not having ghosts was a forced consolation, after all, walking in such a gloomy and lonely place with his head in his hands was quite a challenge, but he must not show his timidity, otherwise Youchi would definitely notice something strange...

He took a deep breath and walked in.

Because it was too quiet, I could hear my own footsteps clearly.

Lin Ziran slowed down his pace and came to the innermost room. The room was empty, with a gauze curtain in the middle, so he couldn't see clearly the situation behind.

He held up the box respectfully, and said, "Master, this is the head of Lan Yan and his wife."

Strictly speaking, You Chi's relationship with Lan Junhe is not like a master and apprentice, but more like a master and servant, but according to the rules of the Youlan Realm, both Lan Junhe and Lan Yan are considered Youchi's apprentices, and you must address him as a master. After death, one of them will inherit the position of realm master. Of course, only Lan Junhe is left now.

Youchi was obsessed with cultivation in his early years, and he was half-human, half-ghost and could not get out of seclusion. Except for Lan Junhe, almost no one could see him, and Lan Junhe was in charge of general affairs. It stands to reason that he would inherit the position of realm master Sooner or later, there is no need to be so cautious...

But Lan Junhe knew very well in his heart that even if something went wrong in Youchi's cultivation, his strength was still not something he could match, and many real core secrets were not given to him by Youchi. Hope he does...

Lin Ziran has read the script and knows even more clearly, although the old thing's origin is damaged and its life is not long, but he doesn't accept his fate at all, and wants to continue for decades by seizing the house! He was always on guard against Lan Junhe, and never thought of giving way to him.

Master-student relationship? Impossible to exist.

In Youlan Realm, there are only benefits and fighting, and everyone is doing whatever they can to survive.

Lin Ziran stood bowed, very nervous, when he heard a hoarse voice from inside: "Open the box."

Lin Ziran thought, fortunately, I read it before I came, otherwise I would just open it now and quit the game on the spot.

Because he was already mentally prepared, Lin Ziran answered yes with lowered eyes, and opened the box without changing his expression.

After a while.

There was a rustling sound from behind the gauze curtain, and a thin hand opened a gap in the gauze curtain.

He couldn't see You Chi's face clearly through the gap, only saw one dark and deep eye, Lin Ziran glanced at it in surprise, then quickly lowered his head and stopped looking.

Soon, that hand was withdrawn.

The curtain was lowered again.

A hoarse and deep laughter came out, like a knife grinding on the ground, piercing and terrifying: "Very well, this is what happens to traitors."

Lin Ziran was tense all over, not daring to be careless.

You Chi said: "Go down."

Lin Ziran: "Yes."

He carried the box again and walked out. The maze was a bit long, and Lin Ziran was a little confused. Fortunately, the system navigation worked as usual and guided him out smoothly.

It wasn't until he completely left here that Lin Ziran realized that his back was wet with sweat.

Although separated by a gauze curtain, Lin Ziran's heart still trembled at that glimpse of each other's gaze, as if he was facing a devil, which sent chills from the bottom of his heart.

He wiped his sweat, came back to his senses, and looked at the box in his hand with a sad face.

After all, it is also the head of the beloved woman and her husband. According to Lan Junhe's personality, it is definitely not appropriate to just throw it away... Lin Ziran thought for a moment, and returned to his place with the box.

As Youchi's apprentice, the next land master, he also acts as an agent for many affairs. When Youchi is not around, he is equivalent to the master here. The place where he lives is very spacious, and it is a beautiful, quiet and pleasant place. .

It's not as gloomy as in Youchi.

Lin Ziran returned to his courtyard, looked around, and saw a sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard, which was not yet in flowering season. This tree was planted by Lan Yan back then. Lan Junhe has always loved it very much, and it can be regarded as entrusting them So many memories...

The two poor orphans, because they were brought here, had to face many life-and-death choices since they were young. They either killed people or were killed by others... But even such a cannibalistic environment did not completely destroy their kindness, and did not completely erase them. Their conscience, the two little children rely on each other, help each other, keep each other warm, and finally come back alive from there...

But this does not mean that they can live a happy life.

It's nothing more than jumping from one cage to another, and you can't escape no matter what...

Lin Ziran thought,

The eight years outside should have been the happiest moment for Lan Yan, and Lan Junhe stayed here alone, living a lonely and intriguing life, but he was not jealous, because Lan Yan could get If he gets what he wants, he feels enough...

Lan Yan's departure not only represents herself, but also walks out with Lan Junhe's expectation, to live a simple and ordinary life instead of him, without worrying about getting blood on her hands...

Lan Junhe guarded her not only because of love, but also because of his obsession with wanting to guard their last hope, unwilling to accept their fate completely.

Unfortunately, it was finally discovered.

It's like an inescapable fate.

Lin Ziran sighed, went back to the house and turned around, there was no shovel to use here, and he couldn't entrust his subordinates to do this, it would be terrible if Youchi found out, so he had to find Lan Junhe's saber and bring it Digging.

This is a sword that cuts iron like mud! When Lin Ziran used it as a shovel, he still hated it and poked and picked it profusely, sweating profusely. In the end, he went straight to planing, and finally made a hole, buried the box in it, and placed it on top of it again. Spilled two glasses of wine.

After all this work, Lin Ziran was exhausted like a dead dog.

I went back to the house and fell asleep without taking a shower.

The next day when I woke up rubbing my eyes, I was in the mood to take a look at this place. Lan Junhe obviously didn't seem to be the type to indulge in enjoyment, and the room was relatively simple.

Lin Ziran thought to himself that this is really unscientific, he likes to enjoy it so much, but every time he plays the role, he is the type who doesn't enjoy it when he has conditions, this is simply embarrassing him! He wondered if this trash game was intentional!

Because he was sweating a lot yesterday and didn't wash up, Lin Ziran felt uncomfortable at this moment, so he ordered his men to prepare hot water.

After taking a beautiful bath and changing into clean clothes, Lin Ziran took a picture in front of the bronze mirror.

Yo!

What a cool and handsome man!

With white skin and thin lips, cold eyebrows, and black hair hanging behind her back, just standing there, she has the air that no one should enter, but she is so handsome that people can't help but take a few more glances.

Most of Lan Junhe's clothes were black, and the man in the mirror was dressed in black with dark patterns, which made him look taller and thinner. The cold aura all over his body might not have been accumulated over the years.

Also, in this kind of place where the jungle preys on the jungle, how can it be possible to survive until now if you are not more ruthless?

Lan Junhe is not a very kind person.

He also used unscrupulous means to survive, but many times, he just had no choice.

Lin Ziran shook his head, and asked his subordinates to prepare breakfast for him. Lan Junhe lived here alone, and he ate alone. He looked lonely and arrogant...but Lin Ziran liked it very much. Free, and don't have to act all the time.

Lin Ziran asked the system while eating.

[Lin Ziran: By the way, I suddenly remembered that there is a problem in this world! 】

[System: What's the problem? 】

[Lin Ziran: I figured it out, from now to the end of the plot, the time span may not be more than ten years! I can't be here for so long! 】

[System: This is not a problem. 】

[Lin Ziran:? 】

[System: For this kind of plot that has a long time span in the script, but the proportion of content is not high, we will take time acceleration measures so that the protagonist can grow up to the time when the plot can be played as soon as possible. 】

[Lin Ziran: Put it simply. 】

[System: Five days count as one year old. 】

[Lin Ziran: ...]

[System: The plot of Lan Junhe raising Qi Xiao is just a foreshadowing before the official plot begins. From the time Qi Xiao comes to you, until he goes down the mountain, we will activate the time acceleration mode to help players quickly pass through the plot. Don't waste too much time on this episode. 】

[Lin Ziran: Are you sure this is okay? 】

[System: Players, please rest assured that although you have only experienced five days, it is a year in the eyes of the npc. His growth experience and mentality are normal, and the optical brain will complete these according to the current situation. 】

【Lin Ziran: Alright...】

Lin Ziran wiped off his sweat, so he's about to go through the crash course of raising a child?

Sure enough, a game is a game...

………………

Lin Ziran began to wait patiently.

Lan Junhe was ordered to kill Lan Yan on the front foot, and the people from Youchi faction arrived on the back foot, quietly captured Qi Xiao and brought them back to Youchi.

Fortunately, Qi Xiao has a spiritual bone that is rare to see in a hundred years, otherwise the ashes would be cold by now.

At this moment, You Chi must have seen Qi Xiao, secretly planted soul Gu, and should summon him soon.

Lin Ziran analyzed carefully, in fact, You Chi did not necessarily have to entrust Qi Xiao to his upbringing, he was obviously testing himself by doing so, one possibility is that he still doubted Lan Junhe, so he deliberately sent Lan Yan's son here, if It was exposed that Lan Junhe was very nice to Qi Xiao, and he might attack Lan Junhe...

There is also a possibility that You Chi may have guessed that Lan Junhe likes Lan Yan, knowing that Lan Junhe will definitely teach Qi Xiao well, help him cultivate this body, and squeeze out the last bit of use value of Lan Junhe...

Or is it just his bad taste, wanting to see the torment Lan Junhe suffered in his heart when he faced Qi Xiao? I always think about it, I was forced to kill my beloved, I can't escape here, and I can never escape his control...

But no matter which one, I can't express my liking for Qi Xiao, because in the eyes of everyone, Lan Junhe and Lan Yan have always been in an endless competitive relationship.

Lan Junhe should hate Qi Xiao.

Wait until the third day.

Sure enough, Lin Ziran was summoned by Youchi again.

He walked into that gloomy place again, this time it was not only him and You Chi, but also a disciple in gray clothes with a low brow and pleasing eyes, leading a beautiful boy by the hand.

The boy looks like seven or eight years old, his eyes are black and bright like jade, although he is still a little childish now, but he can see the shadow of his beautiful mother, maybe he will be a great beauty when he grows up!

The boy didn't seem to know his situation, he was a little confused, a little dazed, and a little uneasy standing there.

You Chi's hoarse and deep voice came from behind the gauze curtain, as if hitting someone's heart: "His name is Qi Xiao, do you know who he is?"

Lin Ziran's expression froze, and he said, "I..."

You Chi interrupted him, with a low smile: "No need to say more, I don't mean to blame you."

Lin Ziran's words meant an apology, because he only brought back the head of Lan Yan and his wife, but did not get rid of the child, so he had to pretend that he was not doing well, and he knew that You Chi would not let him go on...

You Chi will not expose the truth in front of Qi Xiao now.

Sure enough, You Chi said again: "From today on, he will be entrusted to you, I hope you can teach him well, let him inherit her mother's mantle, don't let me down."

Lin Ziran frowned, as if very surprised and incomprehensible, he hesitated and said, "Leave it to me...?"

Youchi said slowly: "Yes, you don't want to?"

Lin Ziran's eyes changed, and his thin lips were slightly pursed, seemingly unwilling, but after all, he lowered his eyes and said, "Jun He obeys."

You Chi smiled satisfied: "Good boy, I believe you can do well."

Lin Ziran complied calmly. He was respectful towards You Chi, but looked coldly at Qi Xiao, as if he had to accept him.

Although Xiao Qixiao was still a child, he was good at observing words and expressions, instinctively felt that Lin Ziran didn't like him, and seemed a little nervous and cramped.

You Chi said: "You take him away."

Lin Ziran nodded, looking down at Qi Xiao, he said calmly, "Come with me."

He looked indifferent, did not extend his hand, turned around and left after speaking.

Xiao Qixiao hesitated for a moment, but still chased him out.

The man in black in front seemed to be walking unhappily, but he had to do his best to keep up with him. He was running out of breath, not daring to blink at all, for fear that he would follow that man and fall alone in this strange place...

Dodge, escape, chase...

He narrowly escaped death again and again, and fell into desperation again and again, until one time, his parents left him alone.

He was helpless, terrified, uneasy, and he desperately followed the footprints, trying to find his parents...

However, when he looked for it, he only saw a cold, headless corpse lying on the ground... The blood, tragic, was engraved into his young heart, and crying and grief were useless...

Once a peaceful, beautiful, happy life.

Destroyed overnight.

At that moment, he felt so hopeless and helpless in his heart. What remained in his eyes was the despair of all his relatives dying.

At this moment, someone suddenly found him.

He thought he was going to die, and his head was beheaded and taken away just like his parents, leaving only a cold body... But to his surprise, the man in gray didn't kill him, but took him to the Come to such a place.

In the big black room, there was an elderly man whose face couldn't be seen clearly. He told him that he was his mother's master and he was the one who sent someone to save him.

He also told him that as long as he practiced hard, he could become stronger and take revenge.

Avenge...revenge?

In Xiao Qixiao's mind, this was a thought that he had never thought of before, because he was too weak, he didn't even know who his enemy was, and he couldn't kill anyone, so how could he take revenge?

But the man said he could.

He gives him a chance.

A chance to become stronger, a chance to take revenge.

At this moment, Qi Xiao didn't have any other thoughts in his mind. He knew that he had to seize this only chance, whether to live and wait for the day of revenge, or to die like an ant for no apparent reason...

He chooses to live.

Work hard to survive.

He won't let his parents die without knowing why!

Lin Ziran returned to his courtyard and looked back. The boy was sweating profusely from running, his face was pale, his legs were shaking, but his eyes were stubborn, and he really kept up with him. Focus on yourself...

Oh, what a pity!

Especially the little boy is so cute and beautiful.

Lin Ziran's heart was about to soften. This child just saw the dead body of his parents. His family was ruined, he became an orphan, and he was taken to such a strange place.

In particular, it is even more distressing to be so well-behaved and sensible, and to be so forbearing at such a young age.

Lin Ziran took a deep breath, resisted the urge to hug and hold her high, showed a cold and disgusted expression, lowered her eyes and said: "Go find a place to live by yourself, don't appear in front of me if you have nothing to do."
