The little crybaby in the group, the young master is a softie

As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. Chen Zui lived in seclusion in an ancient tomb, but he was found by the current grand elder of the Corpse Refining Sect.

The Great Elder was impressed by Chen Zui's corpse refining skills and shamelessly asked him to join the corpse refining sect. Chen Zui was having a lot of fun, so he naturally refused.

However, the Great Elder never gave up. No matter how Chen Zui teased him, he kept pestering Chen Zui.

The turning point came on a sunny afternoon.

When Chen Zui returned to the ancient tomb, he happened to meet the brothers Su Yang and Su Xiang who were exploring and playing there. Chen Zui didn't know them at the time and didn't want to talk to them.

But when the two brothers saw Chen Zui, they were so excited that they thought he was a big-headed ghost and kept chasing him. Chen Zui had no choice but to stop.

After some conversation, Chen Zui learned that they were looking for treasure, but found nothing after searching for a long time. Chen Zui was so amused that he took out his precious blood bead for them to see.

As it turned out, Su Xiang was quite knowledgeable and actually offered to take it for free. Chen Zui saw this and thought to himself: Hey! This kid is really shameless, just like me when I was a kid!

Chen Zui teased him and asked him to exchange something. Su Yang was even more interesting. He fumbled around for a long time and took out a jade pendant. He boasted to Chen Zui about it and explained that it was a relic of their master.

When Chen Zui saw the jade pendant, he was immediately happy, because it was clearly his own, but he didn't know why it ended up in Su Yang's hands.

Chen Zui was filled with emotion at the moment. Not only did he survive, but he also inexplicably gained two apprentices who were like bean sprouts. That was great!

Let’s talk about Shangguan Zhan again. Back then, he was thrown off a cliff, but he was lucky enough to get hung on a bent-necked tree. Hey, he didn’t die. Isn’t that infuriating?

However, he was seriously injured and had to recuperate at the bottom of the cliff for more than six years. During these six years, he regretted day and night and kept blaming himself: What kind of thing did I do?

After his injury healed, he quietly went to the Corpse Refining Sect, intending to die to apologize to Shangguan Li. But when he arrived at the familiar mountain gate, everything had changed.

His senior brother left this world forever because of his stupidity. Since then, Shangguan Zhan no longer had a senior brother who could protect him from the wind and rain. He was disheartened and tried to die many times. Strangely enough, he just couldn't die.

Later, Shangguan Zhan wandered around, punishing himself by drinking feces and eating rotten and smelly food. His originally strong body was soon tormented by himself and became neither human nor ghost.

One day, Shangguan Zhan was in a frenzy when he suddenly heard a group of childish cries. He rushed over to see that it was a group of children being persecuted by criminals.

Shangguan Zhan couldn't bear it, so he came to the rescue. After the child was rescued, he jumped up and down excitedly, calling him "Grandpa" all the time.

In fact, Shangguan Zhan was only in his early 40s at that time. In short, the appearance of this group of children delayed Shangguan Zhan's path to death.

With this group of children around him, Shangguan Zhan couldn't let them go hungry, so he cheered up and worked as a laborer. He officially became a shoemaker, which was a suitable profession for him.

Shangguan Zhan worked hard and never complained about his hard work. The children looked at his tired figure every day, and although they were young, they felt sorry for him. They would surround him, rub his back with their little hands, and comfort him with innocent words.

He thought that after raising these children, he would die. But it seemed as if God was against him on purpose, and Shangguan Zhan became the "King of Picking Up Children".

Before this batch of children grow up, the next batch arrives. Before he knows it, decades have passed, and the first batch of children have all died, but he is still working to raise children.

Shangguan Zhan was busy all day, exhausted like a dog. Finally, he became so angry that he cursed in his heart: Damn, where did so many abandoned babies come from?

He calculated that in more than a hundred years, he had rescued no less than three hundred children, enough to open an orphanage.

Then he thought that this might be a chance for God to redeem him, so he worked harder and eventually bought the funeral home.

Shangguan Zhan had an occupational disease, and when he saw a child wandering alone outside, he wanted to take him home and raise him. So, Revolver was taken back to the funeral home by Shangguan Zhan.

Revolver was the last child he picked up, and Shangguan Zhan couldn't wait to pass on all his skills to him because there were no more children for him to pick up.

He felt that the punishment from God had ended and the next step was death. He was not afraid of death, but was looking forward to it, as he could finally go to his senior brother to apologize.

The psychological effect was really powerful. Shangguan Zhan felt like he was going to die every day, and his health was really getting worse. Just this morning, he suddenly passed away.

Shangguan Zhan faced the coming of death calmly, but he never expected that the Black and White Impermanence did not take him away, but Chen Zui came.

……

Chen Zui had been casting spells to heal Shangguan Zhan for most of the day. At this moment, he was exhausted but relieved. He slowly withdrew his hands. Those hands once held powerful spells, but now they seemed a little powerless.

He sat quietly beside the bed, staring at Shangguan Zhan on the bed. There was not much emotion on his face, but the slightly furrowed brows seemed to tell of the complexity in his heart.

The room was filled with a light herbal aroma, and sunlight shone through the window onto the ground, forming patches of light.

Shangguan Zhan's eyelids moved, as if he had woken up from a long dream. He slowly opened his eyes, his vision was a little blurry, and when his eyes focused on Chen Zui, his heart trembled.

A familiar feeling came over him, a familiarity that went deep into his bones, as if they had experienced countless storms together.

"You, who are you? Why do you feel so familiar to me?" Shangguan Zhan's voice was hoarse and weak, and his eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

Chen Zui ignored him and just looked at him indifferently. His eyes seemed to contain thousands of words, but he didn't know where to start.

He stood up and wanted to leave. He didn't want to be trapped in the memories of the past anymore. He had been carrying those painful pasts for too long.

Shangguan Zhan quickly climbed up from the bed, holding Chen Zui's arm tightly with his dry hands, his hands were shaking.

"Don't, don't go! You, you... are my senior brother Shangguan Li, right? I'm not senile yet, you are my senior brother!

Although I don’t know how you changed your appearance, I will never forget the way you look at people. You are my senior brother…”

Shangguan Zhan's voice was filled with urgency and desire, and tears were glistening in his eyes.

Chen Zui sighed and said in a low voice: "Yes." There was a hint of helplessness and emotion in his voice.

So many years have passed, and he thought he could let go of everything in the past, but when he faced Shangguan Zhan again, those memories that were buried deep in his heart came flooding back like a tide.
