Chapter 41: As Much as I Can (18)
Shang Ying clearly knew that what his father did was what he should do as a clan elder, but the more he understood and made it clearer, the more Shang Ying couldn't accept it.
She didn't know what her sister Shang Tao had done wrong, just because she wasn't lucky enough to become a special blood, she had to accept such an arrangement?
Thinking of this, Shang Ying couldn't help but clench her fists. At this time, she profoundly realized that her strength was so small, even if she had the identity of a hundred clans, even if she was expected by the clan.
But in the end, she was just bound by the clan, she couldn't escape at all, and she was even suppressed and couldn't breathe. Was the glory given by the clan really what she wanted?
What used to make Shang Ying feel proud of unconsciously became Shang Sakura's burden! I don't know when Shang Sakura had the idea of escaping.
"Sister, it's really good to hear that my father recommended you to the patriarch to become the heir!" Obviously Shang Ying felt happy, but Shang Tao was happy for Shang Ying from the bottom of her heart, as if she would become the heir herself.
"Little Momo, do you really think it's a good thing to be an heir?" Shang Ying's face didn't see the slightest expression of joy.
Shang Tao nodded excitedly, "Of course, if my sister can be determined as the first heir, after the next Hundred Clans Martial Arts Conference, she will naturally become the patriarch of the Shang Clan, lead the whole clan, and even become the top level of the power center of the entire Terran Clan." Even if you are not the first heir, you can become an elder of the clan, just like your father!"
Shang Ying read full of envy from Shang Tao's eyes, but this envy made Shang Ying feel very depressed, why did her sister envy her?
"Ahem!"
Just as Shang Ying wanted to say something, Shang Tao suddenly coughed in front of Shang Ying without warning.
Even though Shang Tao covered her mouth at the first time, Shang Ying still noticed blood flowing from the corners of Shang Tao's mouth.
"You're coughing up blood!" Shang Ying's eyes were a little more worried.
Shang Tao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth as quickly as he could, still smiling and said, "It's not a big deal." ”
Shang Ying grabbed Shang Tao's wrist, and the moment she touched Shang Tao's palm, Shang Ying realized that Shang Tao's body temperature was much lower than normal.
"When did it start?" Shang Ying looked at Shang Tao with a serious face, she didn't think it was just a coincidence.
Shang Tao still just smiled harmlessly, "It's nothing." ”
"When did it start?" Shang Ying questioned again.
"I ......" Shang Tao felt a lot of pressure from her gentle sister Shang Ying for the first time.
"When did it start!" Shang Sakura's tone was much tougher.
"Three years ago. Shang Tao didn't know why, but he was forced to tell the truth by Shang Ying like this.
After doing the experiment three years ago, Shang Tao's discomfort and strangeness were more obvious than before, and he even felt that his internal organs were uncomfortably bleeding.
When Shang Tao was thinking this, he vomited blood. At first, Shang Tao didn't pay attention to it, but simply thought it was the negative impact of the experiment.
But since that vomiting blood, Shang Tao vomited blood more and more frequently, and even could clearly feel that his body was getting weaker and weaker. Shang Tao knew that her lifespan was drying up little by little.
Shang Tao didn't know who to tell about her physical condition, and she was not entitled to sympathy. If she told her father, she would be immediately identified as a defective product, and her last bit of use value would be gone.
She didn't dare to tell Shang Ying, she was afraid that her sister would worry about her. So Shang Tao finally chose to bear everything silently by herself, which may be the value of her existence.
Shang Tao only hopes that before the end of her life, she can witness the glory of her sister Shang Ying, and this is enough!
"Are you stupid?" Shang Ying wanted to explode when she learned about Shang Tao's situation, but the remaining reason made her restrain her impulsiveness and recklessness, and finally turned into a trembling all over.
"I'm fine!" Shang Tao has been taught since she was a child to accept her half-breed identity, at least now she is useful and valuable to the clan!
"Even if you sacrifice yourself for the glory of the clan, who do you think will remember? Who will thank you? There will be no existence of you in the honor book of the hundred clans, you are just a tool!"
In front of Shang Tao, Shang Ying exploded and said all her thoughts.
It was also at that moment that she realized how great the pressure on her heir would be, and did she really want to get these statuses?
As for the arrangement of the heir, the patriarch finally decided to let several candidates prove themselves by virtue of their strength.
The winner becomes the heir.
But when Shang Ying was only one step away from the heir, she chose to give up. She saw not the supreme glory that the heir would bring her, but the walls of the invisible future.
She really isn't fit to be the head of the clan!
"Smack!" Shang Ying remembered that after the competition, her father slapped her hard in front of everyone.
"Do you think anyone will be grateful?
Of course, Shang Sakura knew that no one would be grateful to her, only a few people could become the center of the clan, and only those few people could stand on a higher level.
But Shang Ying just doesn't want it!
And her renunciation was seen as a disgrace by the people of the clan, as cowardice!
"Sister, it's okay, with your strength, even if you are not the patriarch or elder of the clan, it is no problem to become the head of the split family. When everyone sneered at Shang Sakura, only Shang Tao was still on Shang Sakura's side.
Run!
Looking at Shang Tao, Shang Ying finally made up her mind. Shang Tao had no reason to sacrifice for the clan, and she was not willing to be bound by the clan. At least she had to leave with her dying sister before Shang Tao's life was cut off in the lab.
Betraying the clan is the biggest sin, and at that time, Shang Ying, who was not mature enough, only thought of escaping, but he did not expect that the forces of the Shang clan were distributed throughout the mortal realm, and the large and small forces of the hundred clans intersected with each other, forming a huge dense net.
Wherever the sisters fled, they were quickly discovered by the clan.
Even if they were exhausted, they couldn't escape the clutches of their clan.
In the end, Shang Tao, who was dying, still fell-
"Sister, I can't do it, don't worry about me, I'm just a burden to you!
Seeing the clansmen who caught up, Shang Tao sacrificed himself with the last of his life, which was the power of the half of the elf clan in Shang Tao's body, just to buy a little time for Shang Ying.
And Shang Ying could only watch as her sister turned into a strong light and was swallowed up little by little.
By the time Shang Ying regained consciousness, she had been rescued by Yunye!
