Son-in-law [Cultivator]

"Do you know the Ming family that was exterminated ten days ago?"

"I know! I heard that not only the Ming family, but the entire Yongming City were killed!"

"Yeah, I heard that there were corpses all over the streets that day. The blood flowed, and the moat was all dyed red... Hey, it's terrible! Just thinking about it like this makes my hair stand on end!"

Several people whispered to each other, although they noticed the two strange men in black cloaks beside the table, but who came here not to inquire about news or share news?They didn't care too much.

Jiang You's face under the cloak was extremely solemn.

But he still calmly held the tea with one hand and sent it to his mouth, while holding down Ming Yan tightly with the other hand under the table.

He felt Ming Yan trembling all over.If he hadn't stopped him, he would have jumped up and asked those people clearly.

"That's right, this is a major force in our Little Yuanzhou other than the three sects, it's over if we just say that!"

Several people sighed a few words about the impermanence of the world, and continued, "Do you know who this Ming family has offended?"

"I heard that someone from the Ming family stole the belongings of the Nascent Soul cultivator, and that's why they were exterminated!"

Someone looked surprised: "Oh? Steal something? What did the Ming family steal?"

"I don't really know...but this Nascent Soul is so powerful, I'm afraid it's not an ordinary thing. Maybe it's a peerless artifact!"

"Or some kind of immortal technique... I remember that the Ming family has an inheritance, did they just steal it?"

"Hey, you're so funny, it's the thing that True Monarch Yi Chuan calls 'chicken ribs'? You probably don't want to offer both hands to that Nascent Soul cultivator, why would you destroy your family because of it?"

"That's right, it must be a divine weapon! I also heard that if the Ming family refused to return the thing, they would kill the Ming family members one by one and hang their bodies at the gate of the Ming family. If you return it, you will not let it go for a day!" The man said in a ghastly manner, and his whole body trembled accordingly.

"Yes, I heard that a collateral elder died a few days ago, maybe it will be the turn of Ming Family Patriarch Ming Fengyu in two days' time!"

"Oh, pitiful, pitiful. This Ming family is really a sinner, and it has caused such a big disaster. Who do you think will steal it?"

"I don't know, isn't there so many faces posted at the gate of the city, it must be one of them." Someone said this, showing a teasing look, "Will that person go back obediently to die when he hears the news?"

"It's hard to say. If I were that person, tsk! With the mighty treasure in my hand, the world will let me do whatever I want, so I won't be so stupid as to go back and throw myself into the trap!"

"You can't say that, that Da Neng is ruthless, and he is really killing his family!"

"Hey, so what if all the family members were killed? This is not forced by the situation. After 80 or [-] years, my cultivation level will be higher than his, and it will be easy to kill him. Wouldn't I just avenge my family? At that time, I will marry another ten A wife, afraid that the family will not be able to carry forward?"

"That's right, there's nothing you can do if the situation forces you to."

"..."

Ming Yan's breathing became short of breath, and he wanted to stand up several times, but was held down by Jiang You.Until he heard the last sentence, he finally stood up abruptly, and the table in front of him shook as he bumped into it.

The few people who were talking next to him were also startled by him, and they all stared at Ming Yan with uncertain eyes, and almost stepped forward to take off Ming Yan's cloak to check whether his appearance was the same as the one stuck to the door.

Jiang You suddenly said coldly: "Sit down!"

Ming Yan trembled all over, was greatly shocked, and choked back all the words that slipped to his lips, only repeated incoherently: "Brother... Uncle Jiang, you, you know... no... But, it's not like this, it's not like this..."

But at this moment Jiang You was preoccupied, so naturally he didn't notice Ming Yan's appearance.He just drank his tea calmly, thinking about the predicament they were currently facing.

Seeing that Jiang You was so calm, the few monks felt a little doubtful in their hearts, but after all they didn't want to make troubles in their business, so they continued chatting about the information they had collected and paid no attention to them.

Jiang You's heart sank.

First of all, did Ming Gaocen have an accident?

That night when his Nascent Soul came out of his body, he suffered a lot of backlash when he killed the Nascent Soul cultivator in one fell swoop.Later he fought with two Nascent Soul cultivators, did he escape successfully?If Ming Gaocen had escaped, why was there no portrait of him on the city wall? Could he tolerate the other party wanting Ming's family so blatantly?

The answer is naturally no.

In other words, it is very likely that Ming Gaocen has already been killed.The fake "Tai Shang Ru Qing Jue" in his hand also naturally fell into the other party's hands.

The other party probably also found out that it was a fake, so there is today's wanted list.

Secondly, what about Ming Fengyu and others?

When Ye Ming Gao Cen lured the two Nascent Soul monks away, he ordered "You Ming" to slaughter all the monks in the city.Ming Fengyu and the others chose to stay in Yongming City to fight against it, but later the "Netherworld" killer caught up with him and Ming Yan who had fled outside the city, which meant that Feng Yu and the others did not stop them.

But today, the gossip said that Ming Fengyu and others were only arrested, not killed. Is this credible?

The answer is of course not credible.

Now the reason why Xiao Yuanzhou spread like this must be because some people wanted him and Ming Yan to think that Ming Fengyu and others were still alive, so as to force them to go back and throw themselves into the trap.

Then there is only one last question: If Ming Fengyu is really still alive, and the other party really intends to use Ming Fengyu to force them to go back——do they want to go back?

of course not.

Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain and walking towards the mountain, this is not courage, but stupidity.

Jiang You heard a voice whispering from the bottom of his heart, brought the teacup in his hand to his mouth, and drank it down in one gulp.Then he called lightly: "Xiaoer, pay the bill."

The sunset is all over the sky, and it is getting late.

Jiang You led the silent Ming Yan into the inn and opened a room.

After dinner, Jiang You was making the bed, and Ming Yan tentatively heard: "Brother, I miss Dad and Grandpa... Let's go back tomorrow, shall we?"

He knew that some bad things had happened to their family, and he heard the conversations of those people in the evening.They accused the Ming family of stealing things wrongly, and he didn't believe what they said at all!Then they said that his father had been arrested, and they said so swearingly, Ming Yan couldn't help feeling anxious.

Ming Yan endured and endured.But after so long, Jiang You didn't say a word, he finally couldn't help but speak!

He originally thought that Jiang You would definitely agree, but Jiang You said, "No."

Ming Yan was dumbfounded.

He saw Jiang You turned his head, with an indistinguishable strangeness under the disguise: "We can't go back easily, Ming Yan."

Seeing Ming Yan staring at him blankly, with doubts in his eyes, he wanted to say everything he had speculated.But he also thought of how sad Ming Yan would be if he learned that Ming Gaocen and Ming Fengyu were dead, and finally swallowed all those speculations.He just said indifferently: "You won't understand even if you tell me, Mingyan. All you need to know is that we can't go back."

Ming Yan looked at Jiang You silently, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

He felt that this person was so strange...it didn't seem like his brother.

Jiang You made the bed silently, then turned to look at him: "Come here, Ming Yan."

But contrary to what he thought he would obey, Ming Yan looked at him for a moment, and then took a small step back.

Jiang You is like waking up from a dream.

He realized that his previous attitude was a bit too indifferent, and he didn't take Ming Yan's worries and thoughts about his family into account at all, so his tone softened a little: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

Ming Yan looked at him silently, but still didn't speak.

Jiang You closed his sore and tired eyes.

His head hurts a little, and he also has indescribable irritability in his heart: "I'll go out for a while, you go to sleep."

The night is already very deep, and the summer night in Yuanjue City is a bit cold.

Ming Yan rolled up the quilt, lay on the bed with his eyes wide open, not feeling sleepy at all.

Why is this so?This unanswered thought flashed through Ming Yan's mind, why didn't Jiang You want to accompany him back?

Is it because the brother has had enough of being useless and stupid and doesn't like him at all?

Ming Yan thought of this possibility, his ears drooped suddenly, and even his tail was caught between his legs.

If my brother really doesn't want him anymore, will he go back alone? ... After he returns home, will my brother still miss him, and will he come to Ming's house to look for him?

Ming Yan recalled the scene when Jiang You was retreating at Ming’s house, when he was always doing nothing, and even his favorite dessert was boring; he also thought of the lantern and the kiss in the forest. Feel uneasy and sad.

Ming Yan's mind is chaotic and disorderly, and the bottom of his heart is also infinite.He thought for a long time, but he was only sure that he didn't want to be separated from Jiang You at all.

Every moment, he just wants to stick to Jiang You's side, never to be separated!

However, if he clings to his elder brother, the price is that he cannot go back to Yongming City...

Ming Yan buried his entire face in the soft quilt.

Ming Yan bored himself for a moment.Then he felt Jiang You open the door and come in, walked up to him, and gently pinched his ear.

Ming Yan was still feeling awkward, so he simply moved his body to the side to prevent Jiang You from touching him.

After doing this action, he felt that Jiang You's hands really stopped touching his ears, and Ming Yan felt a little regretful again.He raised his head quietly, and saw Jiang You was sitting on the edge of the bed staring at him, even with the light behind his back, he couldn't see what Jiang You's face was like at this time.

Ming Yan called softly: "Brother..."

Jiang You: "Yes."

His voice seemed a little colder than usual, Ming Yan flinched a bit, but in the end he bravely reached out and shook Jiang You's palm: "...Brother, don't ignore me..."

Jiang You let him hold hands, and stated: "I didn't ignore you, it was you who ignored me."

Ming Yan sniffed, looked up at Jiang You, his bright eyes were a little foggy: "But I'm afraid."

Jiang You sighed lightly.He pulled Ming Yan up, hugged him into his arms, and put a thin quilt on him: "Sleep, we will return to Yongming City tomorrow."

"Really?!" Ming Yan suddenly pricked up his ears, opened his eyes, and the previous awkwardness in his heart was swept away.

Jiang You nodded: "Well, I'll take you back." He paused, then covered Ming Yan's eyes with his hand, "Go to sleep."

So Ming Yan happily shook the tip of his tail, quietly wrapped his tail around Jiang You's waist, and fell asleep leaning against his arms.

He didn't know that Jiang You didn't sleep all night.

It's a drag.

Jiang You quietly looked at the calm person sleeping in his arms, and a voice whispered in his heart.
