Dongfang Li came out of the study, the sunlight through the window at the end of the corridor cast a slanting shadow on the ground, down the stairs, the kitchen was already rising steam, the kitchen girls saw him coming by himself, thought it was too late, panicked and hurriedly asked someone to scoop the toppings on the noodles.

"It's okay, take your time. Although he was the first in the family, it was not yet time for him to make his usual breakfast, so Dongfang sat on the chair pulled out by the domestic servant and watched the cook bring the vegetarian chicken noodles to the table.

Picking up the chopsticks and loosening the noodles at will, Dongfang Li asked the cooks behind him without looking back, "Is Mingming's breakfast ready?"

"I did it. The lead cook replied.

"Ready, I'll give it to her later. ”

Gently sipping the paper towel, Dongfang Li looked at the tray beside him, a bowl of white porridge, accompanied by three small plates, a plate of meat floss, a plate of oyster sauce and kale, and a plate of soft-boiled omelette dripping with soy sauce.

He vaguely remembered when Ling Ming had stopped putting eggs directly into the porridge.

Turn up the stairs from the other side to the second floor, turn right and see Ling Ming's room, there is a slight light in the crack of the door, and the person has already risen.

I haven't been in this room in the past few days.

Dongfang Li knocked on the door seriously, then opened the door and went in, put the tray on the small table on the left-hand side, and looked at the obviously thin figure in the sunlight by the window.

There are no hallucinatory barriers, spatial barriers, spiritual barriers in this room... On the piano on the left side of Dongfang Li, several sheet music sheets were neatly arranged, the first page was neatly written in a line of small words - "A Song Sing to You", and on the bedside table on the right was a familiar but special atmosphere, the cold steel burned incessantly, and the ice-cracked Ferrari model was the same as the prototype parked in the underground garage. There are also a few photos and stationery scattered on the small table with the tray, in which there are always promises to make various expressions to secretly take pictures of Dongfang Jue or Ran Yu, the background ranges from the endless vast grassland to the dangerous quagmire swamp......

Over here... This whole room, the things I have seen and the things I have not seen, the things I know and the things I don't know, in short, are all traces of promise.

That kid really stole Ling Ming's heart.

For the past few days, he has been taking open source diversion measures against Ling Ming, neither preventing her from doing anything in the mansion except contacting the other side, nor hiding any news from her from there, because he believes that with Ling Ming's ability, he will always slowly realize something. Indeed, at first, she ignored no one, and kept playing the piano until she couldn't support it, and was forcibly held and bandaged by Dongfang Jue, and then turned out all these things, sat quietly in the room, and later was willing to eat under the persuasion of Dongfang Jue and Dongfang Gui, and gradually responded to the words... It's just that now, she still can't concentrate on what to do, just look through these memories repeatedly, and then use the mental barrier to think of something that no one can detect.

But it's not going to happen like this anymore.

"Mingming. Dongfang Li called Ling Ming, "It's time to make it clear to you." ”

Ling Ming turned his back to Dongfang, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and then slowly opened his eyes, the world in front of him seemed to be the world he was in now, the so-called origin of spirit and consciousness.

She had long known that Dongfang Li was approaching, waiting for these few minutes was like a century, and now it was finally time for winter to go to spring, she turned around without hesitation, everything she wanted to know, how could she not choose the future she was looking forward to?

"I broke with my promise and didn't let you come into contact, I was forced to do it out of desperation. Dongfang Li took out a guest chair from under the small table and sat down, "I told you that the ancestor of the Cheng family was amazing, and prepared for them the responsibility of seven generations to come and save the world, and they also had a bad intersection with Tianjing in the past... In fact, as early as thirteen years ago, I knew the true background of the Cheng family, and at that time I was just the head of the capable family and the Jiangnan Dongfang family. ”

The meaning of this sentence... Ling Ming looked up in disbelief, just... In other words, my grandfather didn't know it from Tianjing, so from what channel did he know it, and did this information have other content?

"I did know almost everything about this before I came into contact with Tianjing, and as for why, I can't tell you now, and I can't even tell anyone about it from another way. Dongfang Li looked at Ling Ming solemnly, and the latter nodded of course.

"From that way, I also learned the true identity and exact past of Tianjing Tianzheng, so I began to gradually intend to contact Tianjing, and at the same time started the expansion of the family power, and provoked Tianjing's desire within the degree of control, and was successfully absorbed by him as a core member, because the forces behind it entered early and were very stable, so it gained a fairly high degree of trust. By being close enough to him, it is easy to gather more information and be wary of it, so that you don't get a tiger in the tiger's den. Dongfang Li recounted the past, and the profundity of this history made people have no reason to believe it against the backdrop of his dazzling silver-white hair.

"And twelve years ago, Tianjing had that big move, although it was not intentional, but it did kill the parents of the three children of the Cheng family. Knowing their background, I left the Yangtze River basin with my family to protect them from being too aggressive, so as to prevent Tianjing from becoming too aggressive. ”

Ling Ming knew all these behaviors, but the meaning behind them surfaced for the first time, and it turned out that the relationship between the two families was so deep. remembered that her grandfather specially called her into the study for a private conversation, telling her the true background of the Cheng family, and also implying that the Cheng family was likely to break with Tianjing, that is, herself, so that she was mentally prepared. A few days ago, she thought that her grandfather was really firmly on the side of Tianjing, so she said and did this, but it turned out that everything had another hidden meaning.

"After the release of the deception plan, Tianjing became very sensitive, and the inheritance family delayed for so long, I believe they refused to join. But then it was unexpected, and the promise came, and in order to maintain Tianjing's trust in me and my position in Tianjing's camp, I could only come forward to cut off relations with him. Dongfang Li turned his Moyu wrench, thought for a while and then continued, "I have been hiding from you for so long in the hope of reducing the possibility of Tianjing knowing as much as possible, but you..."

Dongfang Li shook his head and paused, as if he showed a helpless smile, but it was fleeting, "In fact, I also think that the Deception Plan has an undiscovered and decisive vetoed implementation content, but due to the current state, I can't find it myself, so I hope that the inheritance family or the organization of those who have not joined the ability can prove it." But after that night, you and Promise were both depressed and couldn't do anything, and he was the only one on the Cheng family side who could send envoys to the organization of the Capable Ones, so the situation was grim. ”

"Grandpa..."Ling Ming had almost understood everything, and could still faintly sense a glimmer of hope.

"Xiang Shaomu is here, you know?" Dongfang Li gently waved her hand and asked her not to express her opinion yet.

"Yes. ”

"He was sent as a messenger. "Of course, Xiang Shaomu came in the form of defection, after all, although the Dongfang family claimed to have set up a full set of barriers on the outskirts of the house in order to prevent the Cheng family camp from acting again, but the matter of people coming in from the outside will still be seen and still need to be explained, "They have used some methods, including the method of betraying the true messenger to Shaomu, but the effect is not enough, and they can't tell the truth to the promise, because unlike you, he still needs to go out and need to contact many people." So we need to use this last option, and of course, I think it will definitely work. ”

Ling Ming didn't express her opinion for the time being according to Dongfang Li's intentions, but she already knew by looking at her eyes - she understood.

"It's ingenious, it's effective, but it's dangerous and it's hard for you. ”

"It doesn't matter. Ling Ming smiled lightly, at this moment she experienced that feeling again, promised to say that in the deepest despair to see the most beautiful starry sky, these few days so far, just grandpa's words about the truth are enough to make all the light in front of her become light again.

Dongfang Li was silent for a long time, and he stopped talking, only patting the back of Ling Ming's hand.

"Good. ”
