Late at night, study.

A young man in a brocade dress stood calmly in front of the bookcase, and the ink pen in his hand was swept away one by one, freely.

As for the last word of the book, he put down his pen beside him, and did not look at the mountains of jade slips on the side, quietly waiting for the ink to condense.

The words of the Grand Duke became more and more vibrant, but the final pen seemed to be a little hasty, the Grand Duke ...... But what's on your mind?" asked the blue-clothed maid who was standing quietly beside her in a soft voice.

Looking closely, she is not young, although there are no wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, but it is only after cultivation and good maintenance.

"I'm just wondering if I would make the same choice if I had to do some things all over again. ”

The former Fu Jirui, now Shanya Gong, no longer has that very friendly smile on his face, but is replaced by a cold and calm mask.

His round face also lost weight, probably because the price of growth was too harsh, so that he had already trained a city that was not weaker than any prince at a young age.

What he shows to everyone is always a calm and reliable appearance, and only in this way can he resist the hidden arrows and guns from all directions.

Only in this way can he, the newly crowned Shanya Gong, regain the same power and status as his father Ruiya Gong, or even better.

"Grand Duke...... What do you mean?" the blue-clothed maid probed the tunnel.

"In this life, there are always countless forks in the road, and only at the end of the day, looking back on the choices along the way, can we know whether it is worth it. But what does it matter if it's not worth it?"

The ink on the rice paper had dried, and Fu Jirui folded it up casually and threw it into the corner of the study, obviously he had poured all his heart into writing it, but now he discarded it like a clump.

Just like this word, the last stroke is enough to decide its fate, but dead things don't sigh for their fate, people are different. What do you say, Lan Zhi?"

Fu Jirui turned and looked at the maid in blue.

Lan Zhi's face was a little unnatural, and then he was covered by doubt: "What is the Grand Duke talking about?" Lan Zhi didn't understand. ”

"In your eyes, have you always thought I was a coward?" Fu Jirui said.

Lan Zhi didn't dare. ”

"Don't dare, that is, I really think this in my heart, but it's inconvenient to say it. ”

Fu Jirui said lightly: "It is understandable, you are the 'old man' who follows my father, when I was a child, you were also my closest elder, if you talk about your feelings for your father, maybe my mother is not as good as you." ”

Lan Zhi's fingertips trembled, and his expression became more and more complicated.

Before she could open her mouth to argue, Fu Jirui continued: "So after my father left, you were no different from usual on the surface, but in fact, you didn't want to take revenge all the time, just waiting for the right time to take Nanyanhe's life. ”

"Later, the seventeenth generation of the Southern King returned, and I chose to leave the Fire Refining Sect and cooperate with him to complete the purge of the southern realm, and the Duke of Haiming, the Duke of Tianshang, the Duke of Shang Yun and others all died, and the object of revenge suddenly shrank a lot. ”

"But the revenge ends here, and you are greatly disappointed to see that I am still maintaining a cooperative relationship with the royal family, and that I am here in peace in front of the good princess. ”

So, you decide to take revenge on your own. Many people in my Fu clan are also dissatisfied, and they are easily moved by you, and even two of the three elders of the True Dao Realm have joined this plan. ”

Fu Jirui's tone was very flat, but in Lan Zhi's ears, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

She could no longer maintain her composure and composure, her face became more and more pale, and she did not even have the courage to interrupt Fu Jirui's words.

"Originally, your plan was only for the royal family, but then, you found out that things are not so simple, and the mastermind is not only the royal family, but also ...... Western Union. ”

"As for how you know, I'm afraid...... It's inseparable from Lone Star. ”

"At that time, the Western Union was already the top power in the north, and Yun Cheng, the lord of the Western Alliance...... It should be said that Yuling can be said to be the actual controller of the northern realm, such a power makes you feel powerless and desperate. You can only wait, wait for the Phantom Clan to lose both of them. ”

"But the final situation is beyond your expectations, everything is just a game set up by the two spirit clans, and Yuling is a member of the Yuanling clan, you know very well that it is almost impossible to seek revenge from the Western Union. ”

"The only choice is for Lone Star to take the lead and join the Dao Spirit Clan. ”

Fu Jirui didn't say any more, because everything was already clear.

After a long silence, Lan Zhi raised his head slightly, and said expressionlessly: "Yes, I am the shadow son of the Dao Spirit Clan buried by your side. If necessary, they asked me to kill you so as not to get in the way of their plans. ”

"I know they're using me, and maybe after that, I'll never be able to recover. ”

Her voice suddenly became high-pitched and excited: "But so what! That's your father, Fu Jirui! Don't you want to avenge him at all?!"

"Why are you so cowardly! When you were a child, you weren't like this! Look at what you did after you came back with Nan Yingtan? I thought you were just pretending to promise him, but in fact, you actually sent someone to protect that royal waste after he left, are you crazy?!"

"Tell me why you did this! Do you still remember that enchantress surnamed Mei, and how disappointed your father would be if he knew, do you know!"

Lan Zhi grabbed Fu Jirui's neck and pressed him against the wall, at this moment, she no longer hid the cultivation of the True Dao Realm, and Fu Jirui was completely powerless to resist.

The powerful qi slammed into his internal organs, and a wisp of blood overflowed from the corner of his lips, seeing that if he continued like this, his vitality would soon be destroyed by Lan Zhi's Dao Yun.

Even so, Fu Jirui made a vague gesture with difficulty, not knowing who he was prompting.

Three seconds later, the grief-stricken Lan Zhi suddenly sobered up a little, she slowly let go of her hand, took two steps back, and watched Fu Jirui sit on the ground against the wall, coughing up blood incessantly.

A trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and it was quickly replaced by coldness, and she said, "Why don't you speak?

Fu Jirui's right hand supported the ground, and he gasped, "No, you ...... from the beginning. That's wrong. ”

"What? you say...... Am I wrong?!" Lan Zhi seemed to hear some unbelievable joke, and his voice was sharp.

"You don't know your father's ...... Purpose. ”

Fu Jirui lowered his eyelids, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Do you know what my father explained to me on the last day?"

"What?" replied Lan subconsciously.

He said that his last and only wish was for us to ...... Live well. ”

As for revenge, it never came out of his words. ”

"Impossible! I don't believe it!" Lan Zhi's anger surged again, and she asked in a stern voice: "The Grand Duke has a great talent in his life, how can he let us make a living secretly? He will definitely arrange a plan for a comeback!"

"Heh......" Fu Jirui just sighed tiredly, "I didn't understand it until I sat in this position and became the master of the Fu clan......"

"All my choices and considerations must be based on the inheritance and continuation of the family, if revenge is to push the Fu family into the abyss, then even if I have a thousand kinds of unwillingness, I can only wipe it out. ”

Lan Zhi couldn't help but sneer: "After all, you're just afraid! How can revenge be an abyss, that is a brighter future and future! Can't you still see through it, the Dao Spirit Clan is qualified to be the ultimate winner." As a meritorious man, the Fu clan will be able to last for thousands of years in the southern realm in the future!"

"Really?" Fu Jirui said calmly, "Then as a knife in the hands of the Dao Spirit Clan, after all the surplus value has been utilized, what is the need for my Fu Clan to exist?"

"You may not know that the Dao Spirit Clan mainly supports three low-ranking Grand Dukes and ten liehous, and there is no place for the Fu Clan in their blueprint plan for the southern border. ”

"Where did you know that?" Lan Zhi clearly didn't believe it.

Fu Jirui didn't explain much, but closed his eyes: "I just made what I think is the right choice, if you insist that you are right, then kill me." ”

Lan Zhi seemed to have been immobilized, and stood in place, motionless.

Her eyes were so dark that no one knew what she was struggling with.

Until a voice broke the silence: "Haven't you solved it on your side?"

"You ......" Lan Zhi turned his head stiffly and looked at the Dao Spirit Clan's Lingwei who suddenly appeared.

"The Heavenly Fu Army has been controlled, and it will soon be possible to end the resistance in other places, leaving only this Shanya Gong to solve. Xun Lingwei said lightly: "If you miss the old love, you can't do it, then we will be too disappointed." ”

"Keep him for the time being, maybe it's ......"

"No, as long as he dies, few people will be loyal to him. ”

Lan Zhi squatted down silently and raised his hand with difficulty: "Grand Duke, don't worry, I won't let you die a painful death." ”

Her fingers gradually approached the center of Fu Jirui's eyebrows, and her strength was not revealed.

Obviously, she could take his life in a second, but for some reason, his arm was as heavy as lead, and every inch of advance required a huge amount of strength.

Soul Hunter snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with her slow movements.

He was about to speak, but in an instant, something happened to him.

A strong death crisis came to his face, and he only heard a muffled snort from Delan, and slammed into the wall next to him, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

And a fist was rapidly enlarged in front of Xunjingwei's eyes.

Caught off guard, even though he tried his best to dodge, he was still swept by the fist wind, and for a while, the seven orifices were bleeding, and he only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Nan, Nanying Tan ......"

When he recognized the person's identity, he had already received a solid punch in the chest, which was enough to kill him.

But his body was strangely shattered into countless pieces, and then on the other side of the study, it re-condensed.

"Why are you here? Could it be Yuling......"

Xun Lingwei was shocked and angry, and without thinking, he took up the space Dao method, wanting to escape from this place.

"Want to go? None of the Dao Spirit Clansmen on this star today can leave. ”

Nan Yingtan said lightly, and Sen Leng's killing aura instantly filled the entire room.
