What should I do if my junior brother becomes a bad old man?

Ren Zhen's sword left a bloodstain on Bai Ruxie's neck, and Bai Ruxie let go of her hand.

Bai Lian jumped out from between his fingers and finally managed to escape.Ren Sha's sword did not move.

Bai Ruxie didn't try to dodge or fight back, but just looked at Ren Sha's face.It's ridiculous to say that since the first time he saw Ren Zhen, this was actually the closest he was to Ren Zhen.He asked:

"No matter how powerful I become, you won't take another look at me...will you?"

Bai Ruxie's strange obsession made Ren Zhen agitated for a while, this guy is always so confused, it seems to be living in his own dream.Ren Zhen was already impatient to mess with him anymore, and it was not good to just kill him directly, so she simply told the truth:

"Whether you are strong or weak, whether you are an elder of Qingqiu Kingdom or just an ordinary white fox, it has nothing to do with me. Maybe you have heard some stories about me, but those are things in the past, and have nothing to do with me. It doesn't matter. Let me tell you the truth, I came to investigate the prince's infatuation because I was entrusted by your lord. Judging from the current situation, this matter...is really you who did it?"

When Ren Zhen mentioned this matter, Bai Ruxie finally diverted his attention a little. He looked at Ren Zhen and smiled in surprise:

"The lord thinks I did it, so please come and check me?"

Ren Zhen nodded, and Bai Ruxie laughed again:

"I just did something that everyone wanted someone to do. Although I didn't succeed. But I can probably guess that even if I succeeded, no one would appreciate me."

Bai Ruxie's words contained a lot of meaning. After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but think of the complicated relationship between the Lord Qingqiu's family.Gu Xunzhi took a step forward and asked him:

"In that case, why do you still do it?"

Bai Ruxie glanced at him, and unexpectedly answered his question:

"I didn't do it to make anyone appreciate me. Qingqiu Kingdom has been established for so many years, and it is no longer what it used to be. If the custom of Qinghu ascension to the throne cannot be completely abolished, it may not be far from being destroyed."

Guichen Immortal also frowned:

"Do you really think that what you do can make Qingqiu better?"

Bai Ruxie's expression turned out to be very frank:

"I don't know, it might get better, it might get worse. But at least I did what I could."

This really doesn't sound like the words of a person who just transformed nearly a hundred fox people into monsters and then devoured them.Everyone was amazed at Bai Ruxie's sense of responsibility, only to hear him continue:

"...No matter what, my name will be left in Qingqiu's documents and will be remembered forever. When they mention me again, they will no longer think of such frivolous things as nepotism. No matter the result Whether it is good or bad, I have become a Ninth Elder who can impress people, and that is enough."

So in the end, this guy still only thinks about himself.

No matter how you look at it, Bai Ruxie is not a tragic hero, nor even a qualified villain.However, he himself doesn't seem to mind the half-baked villain role. In any case, perhaps because he was underestimated too much when he was young, as long as he can leave a little trace in the world, he is probably satisfied.

At this time, he laughed again and whispered to himself:

"Speaking of which, judging from the actual situation...the effect achieved may not be as good as I imagined...but it is enough."

He raised his eyes to look at Ren Sha, and his voice amplified:

"Please let me be a part of your legend, and don't let me accept any boring trials. Although I don't have the opportunity to walk with you, it is something to be proud of to have the opportunity to stand opposite you."

Ren Zhen sensed the danger in his tone and wanted to withdraw the sword.But he was a little slower, Bai Ruxie had already stretched out his hand and grabbed Ren Sha's sword, cutting his own throat.

Ordinarily, Bai Ruxie's whole body was full of demon energy, so he shouldn't have died so easily, but perhaps because he really had no desire to survive, he died so simply, making people feel that this matter was overdone Anticlimactic.Black blood flowed out from the wound on his neck, soaked in devilish energy, making it extra viscous.His original clothes, which were like water waves and streamers, also dimmed at this time, losing their original beauty.At this time, his body was lying here quietly, and it didn't seem to be much different from the hundreds of "cicada sloughs" in this flower hall.

After Bai Ruxie died, the dark clouds over his mansion also dispersed, and only then did everyone realize that after such a long time, the sky had already dawned.

Ren Zhen casually grabbed a piece of clothing on the ground, wiped off the black blood on his sword, raised her head and said to Gu Xunzhi:

"Let's go."

Gu Xunzhi went over in response, and couldn't help but look back at Bai Ruxie when he left.

Maybe it's because Bai Ruxie still has devilish energy accumulated in his body. Although he is dead at this time, he has not changed back to the original shape of the white fox. There was still a bit of unwilling expression on his face.

For some reason, Gu Xunzhi felt a little pity.

They left the flower hall and walked back along the way they came. Before they reached the door, they watched the Great Elder Qing Kui leading people in.He had received a report from the coachman before, and knew that the matter was important, so he brought a lot of people over in the middle of the night, but at that time, the Ninth Elder's Mansion was covered with dark clouds, so they did not dare to go in easily, but just waited outside the door. Seeing that the clouds and mists had all dispersed, I dared to go in. As soon as I entered the door, I saw them coming out.

Qing Kui walked in the front and saw them at a glance:

"How about it?"

"It's over." Ren Sha said simply.

He didn't say much to Qing Kui, but just held Gu Xunzhi's hand and led him out of here.The Immortal Guichen knew that they still had their affairs to settle, so they had been slowly falling behind, but when they saw Qing Kui, they simply stopped, and roughly explained to him what happened.

After all, as the Great Elder, Qing Kui was very cautious in doing things, he followed Immortal Guichen to the flower hall to check the situation, and confirmed that what Immortal Guichen said was true.So he took people to pour oil on fire in the flower hall, and burned all the blood with devilish energy.Only then did he enter the palace with Immortal Guichen to report to the king.After listening to the report of the two, the sovereign thought for a while, and finally decided to pay the family members of the servants in Bai Ruxie's mansion with money from his private treasury. He only said that there was an accidental fire in the Ninth Elder's mansion, and he covered it up completely. Only a few elders in the court were able to know the truth of the matter.As for the concubine, when she heard the news of Bai Ruxie's death, she immediately fainted and stayed in bed ever since.The lord of the country issued an order that she was not allowed to associate with the noble ladies of the White Fox Clan, so she could only continue to languish in the West Palace alone day by day.

These are all things to say later, but it was said that at that time Ren Xun took Gu Xunzhi away from the Ninth Elder's Mansion, and did not go back to the palace immediately, but went with him to the market outside the gate of the palace.It seems that he intends to take a stroll with him, to get rid of the unpleasant memories left in the Ninth Elder's residence before.

The market here is held every day and is always very lively.What happened at the Ninth Elder's Mansion had no effect on this place. For most of the Qingqiu citizens, last night was just the most ordinary night, no different from every day.Ren Zhen took Gu Xunzhi's hand and always took him to lively places, trying to dilute the impression of last night.

But in fact, what happened at the Ninth Elder's Mansion did not bring much impact to Gu Xunzhi. He did not see the terrifying scene of Bai Ruxie sucking the flesh and blood of the demon fox. Seriously speaking, he only saw Bai Ruxie. human blood.Although the clothes left all over the floor can remind him that quite tragic things happened there, fortunately, people of Gu Xunzhi's age are not very good at imagining.Besides, he had lived in the palace for a long time, so he was used to killing people without bloodshed.

In fact, Ren Xun was not good at shopping, walked very fast, and said nothing. Gu Xunzhi had no time to look at the shops on both sides, so he could only follow him as much as possible. Suddenly he stopped and turned to Gu Xunzhi:

"Are you hungry?"

The last time Gu Xun ate was last night, when he was hiding in the car, he shared a sesame seed cake with his master.After going through such a scene, he had no appetite at all, but now when he heard Ren Zhen asked, he remembered that he was hungry, and nodded to Ren Zhen.

Ren Sha pushed him to sit next to a small stall, Gu Xunzhi took a closer look, and found that this was a stall selling glutinous rice balls.

Now that the weather is hot, eating glutinous rice balls seems inappropriate, but it reminded Gu Xunzhi of the bowl of glutinous rice balls he and Ren Xiao had eaten in the capital, and suddenly felt a little sweet in his heart.

The glutinous rice balls in Qingqiu Kingdom seem to be more refined than those in the capital. The stall owner prepared a bowl of lukewarm soup, which was covered with sweet-scented osmanthus. Show a little simple and honest.The bean paste in the glutinous rice balls here seems to be more delicate, and the outer skin is smooth and soft. Sure enough, the glutinous rice balls made by the fox demon stall owner with aura are always better than ordinary glutinous rice balls.Without realizing it, Gu Xunzhi ate up a whole bowl of glutinous rice balls, and when the last one was left, he belatedly scooped it up to Ren Xiao's mouth:

"You can eat one too."

Ren Xun seemed to dislike the sweetness of this food, he only bitten half of it and refused to eat any more.Gu Xunzhi didn't mind, and put the remaining half into his mouth.The combination of sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance and earthy sweetness of bean paste made Gu Xunzhi sigh in satisfaction.

After eating the last glutinous rice ball, Gu Xunzhi felt that his stomach was warming up, and he was no longer flustered like before, so he had more energy to think about other things.He raised his head to look at Ren Sha, and asked:

"Actually... are you still thinking about what happened last night?"
