Chapter 39: Complicated! Interior of the Snow House
As soon as Yinhui returned home from the regiment headquarters, he went straight to his sister's room, and he didn't bother to change the knight's uniform into civilian clothes first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This morning, when he carried Chikage out of the seventh door in the basement, she was covered in bruises and unconscious.
There are seven doors in the basement of the Snow House. Eight to be exact, but the eighth door has never been revealed, so it has only been speculated by word of mouth. The other seven doors have been entered, and their existence is undoubted, and it is a very important place for the Xue family.
Of course, it's not really the doors that matter, it's the space inside them. These spaces were built by Xue Hezhi thirty years ago with a lot of manpower and material resources and five years of inviting Qingtianmu's family, with the purpose of only punishing and training the younger generations.
Whether it is the eldest son Xue Yinhui, the second son Xue Chimemaru, or the eldest daughter Xue Qianying, they have all shuttled through these doors several times.
Spending time inside is never a pleasant memory. The three siblings seem to confirm that truth, and behind the trembling toughness is always an unknown bitterness.
The seven gates are the Gate of Wind, the Gate of Fire, the Gate of Water, the Gate of Earth, the Gate of Lightning, the Gate of Ice and Snow, and the Gate of Light and Illusion, corresponding to the seven most common types of power.
Silver Radiance and Thousand Shadows had only entered the first six doors before, and every time they entered, it was a life-threatening barrier, and there were ever-changing tests in each door, and they would not be able to pass the level skillfully just because they had entered it once or twice.
However, due to the different abilities of each person, the difficulty of breaking through each door will vary. For example, the current Thousand Shadows will not have a hard time entering the Fire Gate and the Ice Gate as before.
Although the two of them had never entered the seventh door, they both knew how terrible it was. Because four years ago, Yukichimemaru went in once, and when he came out, he was already dying, and he was sick for three months after waking up in a coma.
During this time, Xue Hezhi kept him in a small building in the northwest corner of the Xue family to recuperate, preventing Yinhui and Chikage from approaching. But according to the people who took care of his daily life, he was in a state of madness, babbling and screaming all day long.
By the time he recovered, his temperament had changed drastically, and he had become very perverse, no longer the gentle Akamemaru he used to be.
Since then, Akamemaru has drifted apart from their brother and sister, and hates Yukichikage's sister very much.
For his transformation, both Silverlight and Thousand Shadows felt extremely sorry. Although none of the three of them were born to the same mother, their relationship has always been good. Akamemaru split with them suddenly, which is really embarrassing.
After that, they were even more afraid of their father and the seventh door. It was a combination of the strongest illusion and the strongest technique in the Divine Domain, and the terrifying level was self-evident. I don't know what it really is, but everyone expects that it's best never to know.
However, Chikage was unfortunate enough to know this time.
Yinhui thought that with his sister's current ability and achievements, his father should be basically satisfied. Unexpectedly, this time he suddenly punished her heavily, I really don't understand what he is thinking, and he is not allowed to ask for leave to take care of Qianying at home.
Thinking of this, my heart feels cold, but my body seems to be boiling.
At this time, Akamemaru was in the middle of the verandah, smiling leisurely at him.
"Big brother, in such a hurry, do you want to rush to make sure if your beloved sister is still alive?"
Usually he is unruly to Chikage from time to time, and both siblings think about the suffering he has suffered and don't care about him. But this time, Thousand Shadows was seriously injured and unconscious, almost the same as the situation he was in back then, but he stood here gloating, and Yinhui couldn't bear it anyway.
"Akamemaru, shut up, is this what you should say as a brother?"
Yinhui scolded angrily, and the muscles on his face twitched with emotion. For him, who has always been a hippie smiler at home, it is indeed rare to be so blind.
Akamemaru seemed to be even happier when he saw him angry, and after laughing a few times, Yin Yang said angrily, "Don't be angry at me, I'm just talking, and Chikage won't die because I say that." And I wasn't the one who turned her into that, so if you want someone to get revenge, go find that person.
However, I think even if she wakes up by luck, she will probably become like me. Hahaha, are you afraid of this? ”
Yinhui stopped talking, but silently aimed the sword that had always been pointed at the enemy's throat.
Akamemaru lowered his eyebrows and stared at the sword that was still ten centimeters away from piercing his throat, calmly.
"Tut-tut, big brother, are you trying to teach me a lesson as an elder brother? But I see that your sword seems to be rusty, I don't know if it's okay or not? ”
Since Yinhui made a move, he naturally didn't just want to intimidate the other party.
"If you want to know, just try it, pick up your weapons."
The voice coming from behind the helmet was low and calm, and once the armor was put on, it was not suitable to carry any emotions that would weaken one's judgment and reflexes. This kind of basic combat quality, the brothers and sisters of the Xue family have all practiced it perfectly in years of training.
Akamemaru stretched out two fingers to grip the blade and slowly moved the sword away from directly in front of him.
"Don't you think it's too cramped for the two of us to do it here?"
"Don't you think you're going to make a noise to the patient?"
The person who spoke next was the domestic servant Shiraya, who was taking a maid to deliver medicine to Chikage, but met the two brothers who were on the way.
Originally, the master's affairs should not be left to him. But the place where the two of them made trouble was not far from Xue Qianying's room, if they really started, destroying the house and destroying the house was a small matter, and the impact or even accidentally injuring Qianying was a big matter, so he had to remind him a little.
"Young Master Yinhui, Young Master Akamemaru, the master is talking to the guests in the study, if you really fight in the mansion and disturb the guests, I'm afraid the master will not be very happy."
Bai is also a servant of the Xue family, and the etiquette is very good. Although these few words were using the majesty of Xue Hezhi to suppress the two Yinhui brothers, the humble tone and low-key posture of the person who spoke made it impossible for the master to blame him at all.
Yinhui hesitated for a moment, but still put the sword back, then turned around and asked, "Bai Ye, how is Qianying?" Has the doctor come to see you? ”
"I came in the morning and said that the injury was not too serious, and as long as I cooperated with the treatment, it would get better soon. It's just that when she can wake up depends on the eldest lady herself. ”
After hearing this, Yinhui glared at Akamemaru with his eyes, his mouth opened slightly, and he wanted to say something more, but he didn't say it after all. In the end, he just bypassed him and walked towards Chikage's room by himself.
Shiraya bowed to Akamemaru without raising his head, and left after Ginhui.
