Without Tao Tian's laughter, Tao Tian did not make delicious food, even, without her care and nagging.

Tao Ran felt as if someone had opened up a huge hole in his soul and left him with no way to fill up his missing soul.

"Big brother, even if I don't live here anymore, I will still come back often to visit you." Tao Tian softly said as he saw the grief on Tao Ran's face.

Although he was about to be together with the person he loved, Tao Tian was reluctant to leave his brother, who had protected him for twenty years.

"Mm, good …" Tao Ran nodded seriously.

Although Tao Tian's departure was somewhat sad, it was a good thing for her. Tao Weiguang, from the looks of it, although he was a benevolent old man, a benevolent merchant, his true identity was unknown even to Tao Tian.

He knew better than anyone that he had adopted the brother and sister duo back then. If not for him desperately crying and Master Tao's special care and affection for him, then his sister might have already wandered the streets or have fallen into the hands of other traffickers, because Tao Weiguang thought that Tao Tian was useless and decided not to take her in.

Teach her how to nurture a Gu was an extremely dangerous thing to do, let alone a child this young. Seeing Tao Tian being stung by a poisonous scorpion and crying loudly, Tao Weiguang turned a deaf ear to it, and only said that if he couldn't withstand the bite of the poisonous substance, he wouldn't be able to become an outstanding Gu Master.

Tao Tian was deeply poisoned, and his entire body was a deep green and purple. He had been in a coma all day, but Tao Weiguang had thrown her into his room, not caring about anything else, and left her to fend for herself.

Tao Ran was still young and didn't know how to save his sister. He couldn't get a doctor because the monitoring facilities of the mansion were perfect and Tao Weiguang had made a clear order not to find anyone to treat the dead girl.

Tao Ran had no choice but to secretly feed Tao Tian some water and food every day.

Perhaps the heavens were kind. After several days of perseverance, Tao Tian's green and purple body gradually receded. He also woke up from his coma and used his Gu to look like he had just passed a trial.

Seeing that she was a plastic talent, Tao Weiguang began to train her in all aspects. She had social etiquette, dressed up, and even taught Tao Tian superb appearance changing techniques. Within three steps, it was absolutely impossible to tell if she was real or fake.

He had also given her spear arts and karate. The most important thing was how to seduce a man in order to succeed.

Tao Tian's entire body was riddled with scars. It was inevitable that he would be injured from training. Sometimes he would even get beaten up by the coach because he didn't learn well.

Tao Ran was even worried that Tao Tian's values would change just like that and he would become a brutal killer.

Fortunately, to Tao Ran's relief, his younger sister was still the same as before. She hadn't been contaminated by this desolate world.

At the age of 16, Tao came out with his beloved beauty, and Tao Weiguang began to ask her to complete the first task of her life.

When that man was lying naked on Tao Tian, he was so scared that he began to cry loudly. He hurriedly smacked the Gu into that man's neck, broke through the door, and hypnotized that man. Only then did everything turn for the better.

The next day, the news of the man's death was reported. Only then did Tao Weiguang treat Tao Tian with less humanity because he saw how valuable Tao Tian was and also began to treat her courteously.

It was just that Tao Tian, when he knew that his subordinates had lost their lives, was so afraid that he could not sleep and was dispirited all day. However, he was criticized by Tao Weiguang as being a woman's benevolence.

Tao Ran could only console his sister and protect her, but he was powerless to help her. He could only secretly take care of her. He couldn't do anything else.

There was a man. He would take care of Tao Tian and save her forever. So what if he would never be able to see his brother again? At the very least, Tao Tian's life would be complete and blissful.

"Yao Yao, all these years, you've suffered greatly." Looking at his sister dressed in beautiful clothes, Tao Ran sighed with sorrow and said.

"Of course not, big brother." Tao Tian lowered his head. All the hardships of the past years, after his godfather announced the end of the ceremony, he would ruthlessly draw the stop talisman. Together with him, they would start a new, new life together.

"Be good. Remember what your big brother said. We're getting married. If there's nothing special in the future, don't come back." Tao Ran was worried about his sister's safety. Naturally, he hoped that his sister would walk further and further away from him.

"Brother, why? What do I think you're going to do? " Hearing her brother say this, Tao Yao loudly questioned him.

"I miss you brother. Just a phone call and I'll go see you, or go eat some ice cream. As long as you don't always come back to the pottery mansion, it'll be fine." This last sentence, Tao Ran whispered in Tao Tian's ear, laughing as he spoke, hoping that his sister would understand his good intentions.

"Big brother, I …" Tao Tian didn't expect his brother to say these things. He was a bit caught off guard.

"Don't ask so much. Remember, protecting yourself and having a happy life is the most important thing. After so many years, it's time for you to live for yourself." Tao Ran firmly told his sister that this was indeed what he wanted to say.

Her brother's words to her, of course, she understood what he meant. However, she had always been unwilling to face it, she was filial to him and respected him, even though she knew that he was the one who relied on her brother to survive and was his subordinate. She knew that her grandfather only wanted her to help him kill someone, but she still respected him, because no matter what, he had given her a second life.

But her brother's words had already broken her last daydream. She knew that her grandfather, the great philanthropist, and Tao Weiguang were all just old foxes who were good at scheming.

As for him, he was just a small chess piece in his grand plans. Once he used it up, he would be thrown away, not worth mentioning.

Fortunately, he had left far away …

"Grandfather, take care. Goodbye …" Tao Tian said this from the bottom of his heart as a form of farewell to his grandfather.

"Miss, please be careful." Qing Qing was even more reluctant to part with her. Her eyebrows knitted together.

Initially, she was more happy than she was when the young miss got married, but after seeing the scene of the brotherly love between them just now …

Qing Qing was also caught up in this kind of sorrow.

"Silly girl," Tao Yao pulled Qing Qing's hand, "When I find a chance, I will bring you to the Lei Clan." Qing Qing and Tao Tian had been together for many years, and Tao Tian rarely had any friends. Qing Qing could be considered Tao Tian's only trusted friend and sister. Although the two of them were master and servant, their relationship had already far surpassed this level.

"I'm already such a big person, so I'll take good care of myself. Besides, I'll go marry someone. All of you are very happy." Tao Tian thought about tomorrow's wedding. He sniffed and relaxed the atmosphere.

"Yao Yao, you have to remember what elder brother told you." Tao Ran pulled at Tao Tian's arm with worry.

He knew Tao Weiguang's personality too well,

After so many years, there seemed to be only hatred in his heart. He wished that the Lei Family would go bankrupt tomorrow and all his family would be destroyed, so how could a mere Northern Fourth Ring and a few words from them could wipe out the hatred in his heart, allowing him to agree to the marriage of his two children so quickly?

No matter what kind of plot they had, it was all thanks to the fact that they loved each other. Thus, Tao Ran repeatedly told Tao Tian to marry and avoid returning to his parents' home, or at least meet less often.

There wasn't much he could do, he could only give it his all.

"Big brother, I understand." Tao Tian obediently nodded his head. She knew that even if the entire world betrayed her, her big brother would still stand behind her and protect her.

"You guys, quickly take a look and see if you need to change your clothes or not. Right now, it's still not too late …" Tao Tian started to play with her wedding dress.

"Alright, alright. Eldest Miss, this set of clothes is simply too perfect for you. You're like a fairy in the sky right now. I guarantee that when young master Lei sees you tomorrow, his jaw will drop. This is breathtaking." Qing Qing stood behind Tao Tian and helped him smooth out every wrinkle on his clothes.

"Only you know how to speak …" Tao Tian smiled as he looked at Qing Qing in the mirror.

"Qing Qing, when I'm not around, remember to take care of my brother for me, and …" "Grandfather."

"Don't worry Miss, I understand. I will." Qing Qing clearly understood Tao Tian's worries.

"Mm. I don't need to worry about your matters." Tao Tian loudly spoke into the mirror as before.

"Quickly, let me see how beautiful my granddaughter is!" Tao Weiguang shouted loudly towards the fitting room with the door open.

"Grandpa is back." Tao Ran and Tao Tian looked at each other as they collected their emotions.

The siblings were very clear about Tao Weiguang's true character. However, they didn't say anything to anyone. After all, he had been raised for a long time and they weren't unfilial either.

However, this was the first time Tao Ran, who was worried about his sister and was reluctant to part with her, gave his grandfather a negative evaluation.

"Grandfather, you're back!" Tao Tian held onto his skirt as he ran to the door of the room and looked out.

"Let me see, let me see." Tao Weizang looked at Tao Tian with his usual loving eyes. It seemed like no matter how he looked, it was not enough.

"That stinking brat Lei Zichen really let him off easy," Tao Weiguo pulled up both of Tao Tian's arms, and carefully looked at his granddaughter, who was wrapped in beauty, "If he can marry my beautiful granddaughter, then he'll treat you well. Let's see how I take care of him." Tao Weiguang grabbed Tao Tian's arm with both hands and carefully examined Tao Tian. No matter how he looked at him, it didn't seem to be enough.

No one would be able to guess the magnificence of this scene.

Thinking back to Tao Ran's earlier words and the current situation, Tao Tian was unable to restrain his emotions.

"Grandfather, I will come back to see you often." Tao Tian held onto Tao Weiguang's old hand as he reluctantly said this.

"Silly girl, you're going to be someone else's man from now on." Tao Weiguang lamented, "Alright, I missed this old man so I came back to take a look. And your brother as well. He should miss you more, haha." In all these years, Tao Tian had never felt that her brother had feelings for her that were different from those of a brother and sister. However, Tao Ran's feelings for Tao Tianlong could not escape Tao Weiguang's eyes, no matter what. He knew that these two siblings had a deep affection for each other, and even if Tao Tian only had feelings for his brother, it would surpass the affection a normal sister had for her brother. After all, compared to this grandfather, her brother was more like her reliance.

"Yao Yao, when have you finished your work today? Come to grandpa's study room. grandpa still has a few words he wants to say to you alone …" Tao Weiguang held Tao Tian's hand and lightly patted it. Grandpa was truly strong. Even when he held his hands, he didn't feel old and powerless. On the contrary, he felt very heavy.

"Alright, Grandpa, when I change, I'll come and find you." Seeing the doting look on Tao Weiguang's face, Tao Tian thought it was just a few words of advice from an old man to marry his granddaughter. As for the reluctance, Tao Tian believed it wasn't enough for Tao Weiguang.
