In the early morning of the second day, rumors spread throughout Gaoxin City that Gao Xinjue, the original son of the Gaoxin clan, had been expelled from the Gaoxin clan.

Outside Gaoxin City, the old lady Gao Xin, Gao Xinjie, Yi Qiyaoge, Gao Xinyu, Jing, and a large group of guards and servants with status in the mansion escorted Gao Xinjue outside the city.It is an escort, and it is also a warning to the tribe not to make the same mistake.

Gao Xinjue was wearing rough clothes. Although his hands were broken, his figure was still upright. He knelt down in front of the old lady and kowtowed three times.

"Farewell, sinner Gao Xin, don't read it." Jue said.

The old lady didn't look at him, her eyes were looking at the distant road ahead.Hsu and Kyu looked at him condescendingly, Kyoung's eyes were still guarded, as if he was ready to stand in front of Kyu at any time.Finally his eyes fell on Yaoge, she got fatter and cuter than before.

Jue stood up slowly, and suddenly ran towards the cliff break. A dazzling glare radiated from his body. Before everyone had time to react, the glare quickly dimmed, and Jue's body fell down the cliff.

"He, this is forcibly dissipating all the spiritual power in his body!" Qiu Jin said.

"Pfft..." The old lady spat out a mouthful of blood,

"Grandmother!" Hsu and Hsu rushed forward and helped the fainted old lady up.

"Go home!" Hsu said sharply.

"I'll go find Brother Tu Shan!" Kyung whispered in Kyu's ear, and quickly disappeared.

"Second Young Master, Third Young Master, the old lady is getting old, it is very dangerous to rush to the heart! If it is not supported by strong willpower, I am afraid at this time..." said the doctor.

"Sir, you have worked hard. Please save my grandmother. My Gaoxin family will be very grateful!" At the same time, Yu and Yu bowed to the doctor Tu Shanxian brought.

"I can't do it, I can't do it" This doctor's white beard hangs down to his knees, he must be the most powerful doctor in the Tu Shan family, but he still feels that he can't bear such a great gift from the two sons of Gao Xin. "The old lady needs to rest now, don't be stimulated by any more, this old man will prescribe a prescription for the old lady to replenish Qi and soothe the nerves, but for the first three days, someone must be there to wait on the side all day long, in case there is any change .”

"Don't worry sir, my brother and I will stay by my grandmother's side for a moment." Hsu replied.

"Sir, if that's the case, please stay in Gao Xin's mansion. I will pick you up when the old lady's condition is stable." Xian said, and bowed to the doctor.

"The patriarch speaks, and the villain will take orders." The doctor hurriedly returned the salute to Xian.

The night was as cold as water, and he knelt by the old lady's couch, flipping through the unfinished bamboo slips during the day, when he suddenly heard a familiar sigh.He looked up quickly and saw the old lady looking at him, her eyes full of worry.

"Grandmother, are you feeling unwell?" Xu hurriedly put down the bamboo slips in his hand, he thought his grandmother sighed because he felt sorry for him still dealing with clan affairs so late.

The old lady tried to sit up.Hsu hurried to help, and conveniently put a thin cloak on the old lady's shoulders.The old lady looked at Hsu, seeming to hesitate.

"Grandmother has something to say to her grandson?" Hsu brought a cup of hot tea and handed it to the old lady.

"Outsiders only know that our Gaoxin clan is a prominent branch of the ancient gods, with a noble status. They don't know our other identity. We are actually the guardians of the Great Barren Mountain. Sealing the evil spirit with force," said the old lady.

"Is that the evil spirit that was expelled from the three realms of humans, ghosts and gods by the ancient gods millions of years ago, and driven into the land of extreme night?" Hsu's pupils shrank extremely. The world is turned upside down, because it can penetrate the evil thoughts in people's hearts and control people's minds, even the gods with weaker spiritual powers are not spared. It provokes evil desires and can control human races and some gods and ghosts. It once wanted to subvert the Three Realms .

The old lady nodded and looked into the distance, her eyes became distant and quiet.

"During that fierce battle, many clans paid a terrible price. In the end, the three-legged crow, the totem of the Gaoxin clan, sacrificed the energy of the sun and turned itself into the power of the sun to seal the evil spirits. Later, our Gaoxin clan Years later, someone needs to use all his spiritual power to seal the evil spirit." Speaking of this, the old lady looked at Hsu with tears in her eyes.

Jie suddenly understood why the grandmother, who had never allowed the Gao Xin brothers to compete, would not hesitate to help her fight for the position of patriarch.

"But, grandma, why has no one ever mentioned these things to me?" Hsu's voice trembled, he was afraid of what he had just learned.

"This is the Gaoxin clan's mission, but it's more like the Gaoxin clan's poisonous curse. Only the previous patriarchs know this secret, because they don't want to cause brothers to kill each other. I thought that although Jue'er was expelled from the Gaoxin clan Pu, but after all he is of pure Gaoxin blood, I originally planned to let Zhuyu arrange a place for him quietly, and wait until...but now, but now..." The old lady looked back at Hsu, but said no again. After going down, he beat the side of the couch with his hands.

Seeing his grandmother's grief, Hsu held her hand distressedly. He understood her worry, but he couldn't say a word.

After the succession ceremony, Yu officially became the new patriarch of the Gaoxin family, but Yu gradually retreated from important affairs in the clan.Hsu wants to hand over important affairs to Kyu several times, but Kyu repeatedly shirks it, and if it is really unbearable, he agrees first, but as long as it is not urgent, there is no movement for several days, and instead he takes Kyu around Gao Xin Various restaurants in the city, looking for all kinds of things that Kyung likes to eat.Yan Jin couldn't see it anymore, and came to persuade him several times:

"Third Young Master, Second Young Master is the patriarch now, Third Young Master should be more devoted to helping Second Young Master take care of his affairs." Yan Jin said.

"Brother Yan, I was originally a useless person. At that time, the second brother had no one to deploy me, so I just pretended to be a fool. Now that the second brother is the head of the Gaoxin clan, there are many smart and capable people rushing to serve the second brother. I am used to being lazy. , It’s unusable.” She said with a smile, sealing a jar of fresh plum wine in her hand and burying it under the root of the tree.Getting up and walking into the house, Yan Jin was about to say something more, when Huang suddenly made a silent motion to him.Yan Jin didn't know why, so he stopped talking.He tiptoed through the door and took a look.Yan Jin looked over and saw that Kyung was lying on the floor, the bamboo slip in his hand fell to the ground ----- fell asleep.

Kyu walked up to Kyoung lightly, put a thin soft quilt on Kyoung's waist, and picked up the bamboo slips on the ground and put them in Kyoung's hand --- Kyoung has been fascinated by reading the script for the past two days , I must wake up and watch it again.

Yan Jin saw it at the door, so he couldn't say anything more, so he shook his head and left.

Seeing Yan Jin leave, Xi sat down at the edge of Kyung's couch, frowning tightly.

<I don’t know how long I can stay with you like this. > Thinking about it, her eyes were full of reluctance.

Three months later, when Hsu flung herself down in front of the old lady Gao Xin's bed, the old lady was slowly closing her eyes, her eyes blurred to see her loving and grown-up grandson rushing to her side, and the corners of her mouth raised unconsciously. , a lifeless tear slipped down, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes concealed the luster of the tears.

"Grandmother, grandson, grandson is not filial, it's still too late to come back."

For the first time, Hsu felt his own powerlessness.Since childhood, he has never really bowed his head to anyone or admitted his mistakes. He can always find a solution to everything. Suffering, everything can be under his control, but this time, facing the loss of the life of his loved ones, he can't do anything.Since the old lady fell ill due to Jue's death last time, her health has been deteriorating.Tu Shan's doctor also said to Yu that after all, the old lady is getting old, and she seems to be in good health these past few years, and she must not waste it any longer, and concentrate on recuperating, but the sacrifice is a big deal after all. It was something the old lady couldn't let go of no matter what.Although Hsu wanted to reassure her, but the head of the clan has a heavy responsibility, every time he always wants to finish his work and must set aside a day and a half to spend time with his grandmother, but he still can't get away.Now he tried his best to rush back, but he could only see the old lady's slowly closing eyes, holding Yu Wen's receding hand.No matter how powerful you are, no matter how much wealth you have, no matter how powerful you are, you can't change all of this. Such a sense of powerlessness scares Hsu, makes him even more angry, and his heart feels like a knife is twisted.

Seeing that Hsu knelt in front of the couch and did not get up for a long time, Qiu Jin, who was behind Hsu, wanted to go forward to comfort him, but Kyu stretched out his hand and motioned to back down.Ever since he was a child, Hsu had never seen Hsu like this. He seemed extremely angry, but he just kept crying. He knew that any consolation at this time would be an offense to Hsu.

"Second brother, Kyung and I are outside, just call us if you have any orders."

He lowered his voice and said.Then he stood up and signaled the guards and maidservants, including Zhuyu, to leave together.Before exiting, Yu glanced at Yaoge who was standing on the edge of the collapse, with hesitation in his eyes, but in the end he closed the door without saying anything.

"Husband...husband" Yaoge didn't know what she was afraid of, but she instinctively didn't dare to call him "Brother Hsu". She couldn't remember how long she hadn't seen Hsu.

Hearing Yaoge's voice suddenly, Jie was caught off guard.

"You go out too." The words were merciless, and the surprise turned into anger in an instant.

This anger made Yaoge startled, because Jie had never spoken to her like this before.

"Xiao, were you hesitating just now to ask Yao and Madam to come out together?" Kyung asked.

"Say it again, get out!" Hsu scolded from the room, Hsu and Kyung turned their heads at the same time, and saw Yaoge coming out of the room rubbing his eyes.

Huo and Jing immediately distanced themselves from Yao Ge, and bowed their hands in salute.

"Elder brother is in grief right now, Madam don't need to worry about it." Huo said.

Yaoge owed her back, which was regarded as a gift, and Yun Shu came up to meet her, helped Yaoge to leave.

The funeral of Mrs. Gao Xin can be regarded as a major event in the whole world.Since the beginning of the world, the three realms of humans, ghosts, and gods have always respected elders. If the juniors of various clans do not come to congratulate them at the wedding banquet, they can find some excuses. If the elders pass away, each clan must send a party with a high status. Those who attended, comforted the dead, and visited the living.Therefore, the funeral of Mrs. Gao Xin became a major event for Hsu to show the ability of Gao Xin's new patriarch for the first time after he succeeded the patriarch.Of course, the arrangements for the funeral did not dare to be sloppy, and other daily affairs of the clan could not be perfunctory for a moment. Xun Sheng had to bear it for a day, but he couldn't bear it. Yan Jin and Qiu Jin around him also persuaded him, The daily affairs of the mansion were handed over to Yu.

Late at night in the study room, seeing the bloodshot eyes in Hsu's eyes, she felt a little guilty.

"Patriarch, can the routine tour around Donghuang, Nanhuang and Shennong Mountain be postponed? According to the old calendar, we should leave in these two days." After Yan Jin reported the events of the day to Xunzuo, he was also responsible for reminding Xun the important things in the near future. Work.

Hearing Yan Jin's words, Jie raised his head from the bamboo slips, unable to pay attention for a moment.The Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Wilderness are the areas opened up by the Gaoxin family, and they are the farthest from Gaoxin.Although there were not many things to do, the news of the old lady's death had already spread throughout the whole of the eight wildernesses. If the routine tour was postponed at this time, it would inevitably lead to groundless speculation.But starting tomorrow, people from all major clans will come to express their condolences, and the mansion cannot be without people.In addition, the new head of the patriarch who has just passed away will inevitably be accused of being unfilial...

"Second brother, leave it to me to go out. For one thing, I'm not very good at socializing with the children of these aristocratic families. I haven't recognized all of them until now. Why make people laugh for nothing. Second, these things in the mansion are big and small now. I can't live without you, and I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go out." Huo said.

Hsu looked at Kyo who was standing behind Kyu, and felt in a trance that the child had grown up and was already a handsome and refined man, but the eyes that looked at Kyu hadn't lost their childishness.

"Forget it, I'll take care of the affairs of the mansion, you go to check around, don't let people think that I, Mrs. Gao Xin, can do whatever I want when I'm in mourning." Hsu withdrew her gaze, looked at Kyu and said.

"It's not too late, Kyung and I will leave tomorrow." Kyu said.

On the way back to Qinglu, Kyung kept silent, and Kyu thought to himself, waiting for Kyung to speak.

"Xu, you asked the patriarch to hand over all the affairs of going out to you, but... but because of me?" Kyung knew that since Hsu became the patriarch, Huo had been doing his best to withdraw all the affairs of the clan, and he also knew the reason for it. I can probably guess some.This time, he happily took over the whole business.So he held back all the way, awkward all the way, and only asked when he returned to Qinglu.

Kyu took a sip of water, but before she swallowed it, she looked at Kyoung in surprise when she heard Kyoung’s question, then smiled and said:

"My little greedy cat has grown up and can guess other people's thoughts!"

Kyung pursed his lips, lowered his head, feeling a little guilty:

"Yu, I don't want you to do what you don't want to do for me." Kyung raised his head and said.

"Fool, for you, that's what I want to do most." Kyu lifted Kyung's chin and looked at him seriously, Kyoung saw his own shadow in Kyu's smiling eyes. "Grandmother's funeral is a crucial test for the second elder brother. All the families in the eight wildernesses will come to see the new Gaoxin patriarch, so the second elder brother will definitely do everything in the house. Those daily affairs, in fact, just follow the rules, but he can't get away at the moment. You can see how busy the second brother is usually. He protected me to grow up anyway. I can't help him in this big exam, so I will give him Let's be a scumbag. It's fine for me to evade on weekdays. If I evade again at this time, I will disregard the righteousness of brothers. As for those people from aristocratic families, I really don't know them, and I have nothing to chat with. With this skill, Why don't we find some delicious food in the towns of Donghuang and Nanhuang. You say it's for you, and that's it." Huo and Jing talked in detail, and Jing listened carefully.

Early the next morning, Huo took Kyung out of Gaoxin City, but instead of going directly to Donghuang, he went to Tushan Mansion first.

"Why are you here? I'm going to Gaoxin's mansion." The guards came to ask the third son Gaoxin to see him, and Tu Shanxian rushed out to meet him.

"I'm bothering brother Xian in the morning. The second elder brother is at a loss, so I will take a trip to the Eastern Wilderness and Southern Wilderness for the second elder brother, and then we will start. It's just that the affairs in the house are complicated. I think the second elder brother can't take care of anything. The younger brother is here to ask Brother Xian is taking care of the second elder brother." Xie said.

Tu Shanxian knew what was tricky when he heard it, and there was a hint of slyness in his eyes, so he pulled Yu aside and asked:

"You and Xiao Jing have always been frank. This time, you are afraid that the old stubborn people of the clan will see something, so let's gossip behind Xiao Jing."

Huo hurriedly silenced Tu Shanxian, bowed his hands secretly, and looked back at Jing slightly, but fortunately, he was looking at the cakes on the table in front of him, and didn't care what the two of them said.

"Brother Xian, don't let this little guy know. When I told my second elder brother to leave all the business out to me yesterday, he guessed it. He was awkward on the way back to the yard. Fortunately, he told me after all. , Hey, I really don’t know when I cared so much about him.” Huo whispered.

"You Gaoxin clan are all human beings. You grew up with you, and you don't have deep thoughts. You are self-inflicted." After finishing speaking, Xian raised his eyes and took a peek at Kyung, saying: "Otherwise, You let Xiao Jing follow me, I..." Tu Shanxian hadn't finished speaking, Fang Feng Qingluan came to the hall gracefully, and the maid following behind was holding a few cups:

"I don't know if the third son and Xiao Jing have had breakfast, why don't we taste this jasmine wine together, the maids collect the dew on the lotus leaves in the morning, it tastes very refreshing and refreshing." Qingluan smiled. explain.

"Thank you ma'am, I have no choice but to bother you in the morning. I hope ma'am will forgive me." Yu saluted Fangfeng Qingluan respectfully, and Kyung also stood up to salute.

"Brother Xian, you said you have such a good wife, why are you always thinking about my family?" Sitting next to Hsu, eating jasmine wine, said this vaguely, the voice just enough for Hsu to hear It was very clear that Qingluan could hear Yu talking, but couldn't make out what he was saying, so he stared blankly at Yu.

"Hahahaha, I was joking, my wife's maidservant is no worse than your chief Gaoxin's cook." Seeing Fangfeng Qingluan's reaction, Xian quickly replied, laughing loudly.

After bidding farewell to Tu Shanxian and Fangfeng Qingluan, Huo and Jing immediately set off for Donghuang.Donghuang Qingquan Town is bustling, the small streets are crowded with mules and horses, and various small shops and stalls are lined up on both sides of the street. There are low-level protoss living here, ordinary humans, and some low-level but kind, A ghost clan yearning for an ordinary life.For thousands of years, everyone has managed their lives here without disturbing each other.Although there are no high-end restaurants and restaurants like those in Gaoxin City, there are small towns in the world, with the pyrotechnic atmosphere refined by time.

It was one of Hsu's former guards who came to pick up Hsu and Kyung.

"Meet the third son." The guard bowed and saluted.

"Quickly please, this is not the Gaoxin Mansion, so there is no need to be formal." said Kuo.

When the guard raised his head, Yu felt that his face was very familiar, as if he had seen him before, but he couldn't call him by name.The guard saw Huang's thoughts, so he smiled and said:

"It seems that the third son still remembers his subordinates."

"It does look familiar, but I don't know..."

"My subordinate Qiongqi, the third son and Tu Shan patriarch rescued the second son that day, and Li Jiang and I escorted the second son to Tanggu for recuperation." The guard said.

"I see, you two worked hard that day." said Xie.

Hearing this, Qiongqi bowed again and said:

"The third young master came to Donghuang this time, and his subordinates will accompany him to protect the third young master." Qiong Qi said.

"Thank you so much. I am here for a routine inspection. If it is not necessary, I don't need to disturb everyone. I heard that the crowd here is mixed, so you don't have to be too formal. It's just a matter of attracting attention." Xie said with a smile.

Qiongqi took Kui to Gaoxin's pier and shop for a while, everything was normal and orderly, and then returned to the inn.

"Looking all the way, it's hard work." Yu said, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Qiongqi, who was immediately flattered and was about to thank the gift.Seeing him pushing a cup of tea in front of Kyung, and Kyung picked it up and drank it, he couldn't be too formal.

"It's just that along the way, why didn't you see Li Jiang's guards?" He poured himself a cup of tea, took it up and paused, and then took a sip of the tea after asking.

"He's not here. Before the Second Young Master left Tanggu that day, he ordered me to come to Donghuang and let Li Jiang go to Nanhuang, saying that there was a lack of masters in these two places." In fact, Qiong Qi had long been parched. , so that even if he died of thirst, he would not be disrespectful.But the third son didn't seem to care much about it, so he drank tea boldly, quenched his thirst immediately, and spoke briskly.

"If I remember correctly, you all followed Brother Qiu before, right?" Huo asked.

"When Li Jiang and I just followed Qiu Dushi, we were probably younger than this little brother." When Xiong spoke and treated others, Qiong was like a spring breeze, and his mood relaxed.
