Mingzhi asked Li Xiuze to come here because of Lu Jianxue. In fact, from the last time in Dongchen Kingdom, he could see that everyone in Yuefu Palace was special to Li Xiuze. It fell on Li Xiuze several times, and because she was so generous, she didn't look like she was coveting carefully, and Mingzhi didn't care much under the influence of Wuqing Dao, so he didn't pay special attention to it.

Seeing the look in Lu Jianxue's eyes now, Mingzhi thought back and felt something was wrong, so he told Li Xiuze to be careful when he arrived at Yuefu Palace, and not to have too much contact with other people except Qiuzhu, especially Tu People from the Moon Palace.

Every time Lu Jianxue's eyes fell on Li Xiuze, he felt uncomfortable. After listening to Mingzhi's instructions, Li Xiuze immediately nodded his head.

"Uncle, do you really not know what that pattern is?"

After staying in Mingzhi's room for a while, Li Xiu got up and left. Before leaving, he still did not forget to ask.

Ming Zhi stared at the paper on the table, and shook his head lightly: "It looks familiar, but I don't remember where I saw it. Put this here first, and I will tell you when I remember it."

Li Xiu didn't say anything more, just saluted and left.

Mingzhi knows why Li Xiuze finds this branding pattern familiar. Shangyou's father, Elder Gu Dan, has many contacts with Raksha Island. It is probably when the things that Elder Gu Dan sent to Raksha Island happen to have Li Xiu saw this pattern when he passed it on to Shangyou.

But Mingzhi's mind is not here at this moment.

He recalled in his mind that Gu Yichen once told him that he had saved his life when he was young, and he always remembered it, and he even went to Wuwang Mountain to learn from him because of this.

When I was young, Rakshasa Island, the brand, and the grace of saving my life.

There is also such a child in Mingzhi's memory, lying in his arms, with most of his shirt taken off, the youngest of the twins picked up the red-hot copper and iron, with a poisonous smile in his mouth, and opened his eyes. The smiling eyes who could talk, burned the copper and iron in his hand to the back of the child in his arms.

The child in his arms gritted his teeth and said nothing, Mingzhi's tears could not stop swirling in his eyes, he wanted to stop the scene in front of him but he couldn't, the twin's subordinates stood on both sides and pressed his shoulders tightly , let him not make any movements, let him watch the child be branded because of him.

The small body was lying on his chest, trembling all over, but still gritted his teeth stubbornly, not letting himself pass out from the pain, the child seemed to feel Mingzhi's powerlessness, reluctantly raised his head, his dry lips pulled out a With a heartbreaking smile, Mingzhi heard a weak voice: "Brother...Brother, I'm fine...I'm fine."

The child's back, where the brand was branded, was dripping with blood, and the flesh and blood were blurred into one piece.

Thinking of this, Ming Zhi's eyes hurt when his eyes touched the patterns on the paper, he stretched out his hand and squeezed the paper into a ball, and threw it out violently as if touching something dirty.

"System, your functions were not fully developed at that time, do you think Gu Yichen is Gu Yi?"

Xiao Feijiu jumped up and down on the table a few times, and chirped a few times.

[Returning to the host, the location of the protagonist could not be specifically detected at that time, but the direction where Gu Yi is located is indeed the direction where the protagonist is located. 】

Gu Yi.

A child who has been abused by the Devil Twins of Raksha Island for a long time, probably because his age is similar to that of the Devil Twins.The twins have always dealt with playthings of the same age with cruel methods. They like to torture each other to death, but they think that the other party dies too easily if they play too much, so they always force-feed a few bottles of body protection before each abuse. Hanging the elixir, so that they can't die even if they toss about it, and become a toy that can't die no matter how much they play.

Gu Yi is such a "toy".

When Mingzhi saw him for the first time, he curled up under the whip of the twins and was beaten to pieces. At that time, there was no ruthless way, no Wuwangshan, no other messy interpersonal relationships, and there was no Yuan Mingzhi, only one Not long after passing through, Mingzhi was doing the task of choosing one of the two. As a normal person, Mingzhi couldn't see such bullying. The sudden surge of sense of justice made him pounce, and hugged the old man. The child who was whipped to the point of bruises blocked the whip that was about to fall on the child.

However, the child didn't feel good about him because of his hug, instead he was equally wary of him.

The child's heart is full of holes. He seems to have had an extremely tragic experience, or he may have been desperate under the torture day after day. He refuses anyone to approach him, and his body is full of spikes like a little hedgehog.

Mingzhi has been with children for a long time. In his modern impression, children are always pampered. For example, the children of his cousins ​​are almost spoiled like little princes and princesses. Treasure, sweetheart, as long as they are well-behaved and obedient and do nothing wrong, when will they last a little beating?

That's why Mingzhi loves the scarred child very much. During the days on Rakshasa Island, while fighting wits and bravery with the demon twins, he carefully took care of the child, and had to spare time to find his poor protagonist. After that, and after Raksha Island did not find another child worse than the child, Mingzhi put all his thoughts on the child.

Finally, the child opened his heart to him.

That day, taking advantage of the child's good appetite, Mingzhi fed him snacks piece by piece. Seeing the child showing him a shy smile, Mingzhi asked him hopefully, "Son, is your name... Gu Yichen?" ah?"

The child paused while eating, and then continued to eat. Under Mingzhi's expectant eyes, he shook his head slightly from side to side: "I'm not."

Mingzhi sighed in disappointment, reached out and touched the child's head: "Then what's your name?"

"...Gu Yi." The child nibbled on the snack, told Mingzhi and repeated, "My name is Gu Yi."

"Gu Yi, Yi Gu?" Ming Zhi chuckled, vigorously rubbing the child's hair, "There are abundant crops throughout the year, and the name is good."

"En." The child looked at Mingzhi's eyes shining brightly, as if the sun had shone into his eyes, but what he said made people feel distressed, "I hope there will always be something to eat."

"There will be." Ming Zhi snatched the child into his arms, rubbed his cheek affectionately, and assured him.

……

Mingzhi stood up, walked towards the paper ball, paused in front of the paper ball for a moment, Xiao Feijiu flew off his shoulder knowingly, picked up the paper ball clumsily, and flew back to Mingzhi's shoulder with great effort, mouth As soon as it was loosened, the ball of paper fell into Mingzhi's hands.

Mingzhi took the paper ball, opened the door and walked towards Gu Yichen's room.

"Master, come here so late, are you hungry?"

Knocking on the door of Gu Yichen's room, Mingzhi saw him sitting at the table, and there were two plates of delicate snacks on the table, which looked very delicious.

Gu Yichen rested his chin and looked at Mingzhi by the door, put a pair of chopsticks on the table over there, and signaled Mingzhi to come and sit down for a snack.

"It's okay." Mingzhi said it was okay, but he sat down at the table honestly and picked up his chopsticks.

Gu Yichen pushed two plates of dim sum in front of Mingzhi, watched Mingzhi take a sip with his chopsticks, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened.

It was Gu Yichen's handicraft to eat dim sum, Mingzhi tasted a few mouthfuls, put down his chopsticks: "When did you make it?"

"Before we set off, these are two new snacks that I learned, and I brought them here because I wanted to give Master a taste."

Mingzhi nodded, yes, after all, it is impossible for Yuefu Palace to allow guests to cook.

Thinking about it, he moved his chopsticks and tasted a few more, Mingzhi praised without hesitation: "It's delicious."

There was a strong smile in Gu Yichen's eyes, covering up all the other emotions hidden in it. He held his chin and looked at Mingzhi without blinking: "Then master, eat more."

"No." Mingzhi put down his chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of his mouth.He took out a ball of paper from his sleeve, spread it out and put it on the table, Ming Zhi said, "I came here to ask you something."

Li Xiu saw the brand mark on Gu Yichen's back, Gu Yichen couldn't have been unaware, that's why Ming Zhi dared to come to him directly with the brand image and ask him for clarification.

As Mingzhi thought, as early as Li Xiuze left his room, Gu Yichen knew that he would definitely mention this age to Mingzhi. After all, Li Xiu is one of Wuwangshan's nephews who have a good relationship with Mingzhi Seeing the unknown brand on his back, for the sake of his uncle, Li Xiu would definitely tell Mingzhi.

And Mingzhi, who had stayed on Rakshasa Island for a while, saw this brand, and would definitely come to him to ask him clearly.

It's just that Gu Yichen didn't expect it to be so fast, it seemed that he went straight to Mingzhi as soon as he left.

Gu Yichen stared at the wrinkled paper. To him, the patterns were both unfamiliar and familiar. Recalling the embarrassing and humiliating past, the light in Gu Yichen's eyes quickly dimmed: "What does Master want to ask?"

"You have been to Rakshasa Island." Instead of asking, Ming Zhi directly stated an undeniable fact.

"No." Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yichen raised his head and replied, he looked into Mingzhi's eyes calmly, without changing his expression, with a faint smile on his face, "I have never been to Rakshasa Island before."

Without waiting for Mingzhi to ask, Gu Yichen raised his hand to touch his shoulder, and told about the origin of the brand on his back: "The brand on my disciple's back is indeed from Raksha Island, but I have never been to Raksha Island. Being framed by a villain, my disciple... fell to the streets, and was constantly resold in the hands of human traffickers. One time, an evil cultivator bought me and said that he would send me to the young master of Rakshasa Island. The brand was branded at that time , the disciple learned that the young master of Rakshasa Island was cruel and merciless, and escaped desperately. To be a warning, but also to be intense, to remind disciples not to be negligent in their cultivation, or one day disciples will be reduced to fish and meat to be slaughtered and sold."

Gu Yichen's words are half true and false, knowing the protagonist's experience, he also knows half true and false, but he doesn't know what kind of false Gu Yichen has mixed up. The humiliation when he was young is a heart disease of the protagonist, unless he uses it for a certain purpose , otherwise no one can touch the mention.

So there was a pause in the middle, Mingzhi knew that it was hard to tell because he was sold by his family, so he didn't ask any further.

"I see." After hearing about Gu Yichen's past, Ming Zhi was silent for a long time. Although he didn't feel anything, he still organized his words of apology, "It's my teacher's abruptness, which caused you bad memories."

There was a sad smile on the corner of Gu Yichen's mouth, and he stretched out his hand to hold Mingzhi's hand: "It's nothing, this disciple has always kept these things in his heart, and now it's easier to talk about it, thank you, Master."

"..." Mingzhi wanted to pull his hand out, but he couldn't. Seeing the injury in Gu Yichen's eyes, he simply let him grab his hand and let him go, "However, can this branding disappear or not? Well, if one day you meet someone who knows the meaning of this brand, or someone from Rakshasa Island sees it, it will end badly."

"Disciple knows." Gu Yichen looked at Mingzhi's hand, which was held in his hand. The five fingers were slender, and the fingertips were clean. There were no calluses formed by practicing swords all the year round. It didn't look like a sword repairer's hand at all.

No matter in the past or now, Gu Yichen found that Mingzhi's hands were the same.

When I was young, these hands touched his hair, pinched his cheeks, felt the temperature of his forehead, and held him in his arms. Even because of him, his skin was torn apart by the whip, and the wound was split along the palm lines. Bloody skin and flesh, deep bone can be seen.

If it wasn't for the fact that the disciple's movement of kissing the master's hand was too perverted and weird, Gu Yichen really wanted to lower his head and kiss these hands reverently.

Now is not the time, a dense black mist that cannot be dispelled appeared in Gu Yichen's eyes, he said to himself, emphasizing over and over again, it is not yet the time, he has no 100% chance of winning to protect the person in front of him, His power is not enough... not enough... not enough to make this man his own all by himself.

He needs timing, time, and patience, until the day he is strong enough, this person will be completely his.

At that time, he will personally tell Mingzhi everything.

"Can you let go?" Mingzhi waited and waited, but Gu Yichen couldn't let go of his hand after a long time, but he couldn't let go, so he had to point his other finger at the snacks on the table, making an excuse , "I want to eat some snacks for the teacher."

Hearing this, Gu Yichen reluctantly let go of Mingzhi's hand.

Mingzhi withdrew his hand, picked up a piece of dim sum with his chopsticks, the overall color of this dim sum was grayish blue, when he took a bite, there was a faint smell of grapes spreading in his mouth.

Ming Zhi ate, and asked casually: "Did you wear a hair tie a few days ago?"

"No." Gu Yichen didn't change his face, "Master, I remembered wrong."

Mingzhi glanced at him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, smiled at Gu Yichen, got up and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to take the piece of paper with him.

Mingzhi didn't fully trust Gu Yichen, he didn't care about the details of the hair rope and crown, but he remembered the picture of the two hanging ropes flowing with his long hair when Gu Yichen practiced the sword.

The author has something to say: I tried my best orz paralyzed...
