The whole sect is full of cunning people, only I am really stupid

Only by bathing in the blood of one's own kind can the power of blood be maximized.

Hearing Xue An say this.

Shen Ya now understood why Xue An was so resistant to living with his own people.

Xue An looks heartless.

In fact, he is very loyal.

He always thinks a lot about the people he cares about.

This is the case for Nanyuan.

The same goes for Shen Ya.

The person who died on the Contract Day might also be very important to Xue An.

Because it's important.

That's why Xue An is so worried about it.

"The man I killed with my own hands was my uncle who raised me."

Xue'an knew this rule of the tribe.

But he always thought it was a joke.

The Nan family is a large and aristocratic family that has existed for who knows how many years, and the changes of patriarchs are not frequent.

Each clan leader lives a long life.

The Contract Day will only begin when the patriarch chooses a successor.

For a long time.

Xue An has never seen the Contract Day.

Most people won't believe something they haven't seen.

That's what Xue An is like.

Plus, the tribesmen didn’t mention it much.

Xue An didn't take these words to heart at all.

Until Nanyuan appeared.

Nanyuan was extremely talented, so Namu determined his status in advance and moved up the contract date.

Otherwise, according to Namo's status, the contract date will be delayed by at least a thousand years.

Xue An overcame many difficulties and thought that he could successfully follow Nan Yuan to see the outside world.

Unexpectedly, the last person who stood in his way was his own relative.

He came voluntarily.

Sacrifice yourself in exchange for the new life of your people.

Xue An couldn't help but tighten his grip.

Until now, Xue An can still recall the feeling of his uncle's blood flowing through his palms and the strong smell of blood at the tip of his nose that made him want to vomit.

And the body gradually cooled down.

Obviously so disgusting.

Xue An could still feel her body absorbing the blood that belonged to her uncle.

I can feel my blood changing little by little.

So later, after facing Nanyuan.

Xue An wanted to attack Nan Yuan like crazy, wanting to vent the pain in his heart.

Who is Nanyuan?

On previous contract days, there was more than one candidate.

Many candidates die on Contract Day.

There is more than one candidate, but there can only be one young master.

There will only be one person who walks onto the stage.

Others will inevitably be kicked off the platform and become guards or nutrients to protect the platform.

Those candidates who cannot become heirs are nutrients.

This is also why Shen Ya smelled blood.

Nanyuan is different.

Nanyuan was the only candidate for that Contract Day.

No one doubted that he would not succeed.

Everyone was certain that he would succeed.

Nanyuan did succeed.

Xue An was suppressed by him and was beaten badly.

Xue An couldn't even get up from the ground and could only look up at Nan Yuan.

This rising star is highly expected by everyone.

Nan Yuan is not very old, just looks like a teenager.

Although he is still a teenager, his every move is as mature and steady as that of an adult.

Nan Yuan did something that no one expected.

He lowered his eyes to look at Xue An, his eyes were as black as snow, "If you don't want to go with me, you can refuse."

An existence that countless people want to possess.

He just refused it casually.

Xue An didn't know what he was thinking at that time.

He looked up at Nan Yuan, who seemed petite even to him.

The young boy's eyes were indifferent, neither sad nor happy.

It looks powerful, but also lonely.

curious coincidence.

Finally Xue An decided to follow him.

"Xue An, this is no one's fault."

Shen Ya said seriously.

The Nan family knew about this, and so did the Guixuan Brahma Lion clan.

Even Xue An knew it.

This is the price Gui Xuan Fan Shi must pay.

Not only Gui Xuan Fanshi but also the Nan family sacrificed their lives.

There is no right or wrong in this matter itself.

"I know, I just don't know how to face my people."

Xue An shrugged, "I'm not a child anymore. I'm past the age where I have to blame anyone."

As we grow older.

Xue'an gradually understood what everyone was doing.

He didn't mean to blame anyone.

He couldn't get over this matter himself.

He could not forget that he had killed his people.

"Do you want to know what Gui Xuan Fan Shi's talent is?"

Xue An blinked and changed the subject.

"You said."

Shen Ya had a bad feeling in his heart.

Xue An just told her that he was telling Shen Ya all this now because he was worried that Shen Ya would be scared by him in the future.

This talent is probably not a good thing.

"I'm still alive, don't look at me like that."

Xue An wrinkled her nose, leaned over the table, and showed her snow-white teeth.

"The reason why our tribe is so popular is that we can share our life force with the contractors."

"What do you mean?"

It couldn't be what she thought it meant.

Xue An’s next words confirmed Shen Ya’s guess.

"When Nanyuan was dying, I was able to save his life with my own."

I already had a guess in my mind.

When Shen Ya really heard Xue An say it, he still felt a pain in his heart.

"So this is why you can stay with Nanyuan."

"You also noticed something was wrong?"

Xue smiled secretly.

Shen Ya nodded, "Most people who contract spirit beasts want them to be their helpers. The gap between your cultivation and that of Senior Brother is too big."

Rather than being a help, Xue'an is more like a weak spot for Nan Yuan.

If Nan Yuan didn’t look like he was of extraordinary status.

When other people see their pairing, they will think that Nan Yuan is Xue An’s bodyguard.

Xue An said before that the Nan family were not good people.

Nan Yuan and Xue An must have some ulterior motive in making the contract.

If it wasn't for the help in cultivation.

That is the help from other aspects.

"Don't make that expression. It makes me feel like I'm going to die. You have to believe in Nan Yuan. Maybe he can get through this on his own without me."

Xue An said in a brisk tone.

It was as if I was not the protagonist of the topic.

This lightness did not infect Shen Ya.

Shen Ya just looked at him, looking at Xue An who was pretending to be happy and cheerful.

"What if we guess wrong?"

What if Nanyuan fails?

What if they just can’t make it.

If it fails?

Xue An took a step forward.

He reached out and gently hugged Shen Ya.

He placed his head on Shen Ya's shoulder as if he had not yet transformed.

He is now taller than Shen Ya.

He had to bend down to hug Shen Ya.

"Have I ever told you that your embrace is very warm?"

Xue narrowed her eyes and enjoyed Shen Ya's embrace.

I don’t know if it’s because Shen Ya is the so-called sacred tree.

Her arms always have a special attraction to Xue An.

Or maybe it’s just because she is Shen Ya.

"I got it now."

Shen Ya gently placed his hand on Xue An's back.

"If my luck is that bad, then that's my fate. As long as Nan Yuan can survive, that's enough. I have been under his protection for so many years, so I have to give him something in return. I can't let his investment go to waste."

"I know you've been sad about Wuxun's leaving without saying goodbye, and I don't want you to blame me like this. Yaya, don't be sad for me. I'm already very happy to have met you."
