Chapter 16 The Emperor
The Emerald Lake at night is particularly quiet under the moonlight, Huangfu Mubai lies on the wooden roof, looking at the stars in the sky without saying a word, from returning here to the present, except for reprimanding Huangfu Yao in the afternoon, he has not said a word.
Yan Nai climbed onto the roof, took a deep breath, and slowly walked to Huangfu Mubai and sat down, "Bai Tong has already found Yao." ”
Huangfu Mubai didn't speak, just looked at the sky quietly, Yan Nai didn't know what to say next, he just felt that the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, comforting people This kind of thing, he is really not very good at it, "That, I put the food in your house just now, if you are hungry for a while, go eat it." ”
After Yan Nai finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave, and at this time, Huangfu Mubai, who had been silent, finally spoke, "He's still angry with me." ”
"I'm not as angry as I was in the afternoon. Seeing that he finally spoke, Yan Nai immediately came to his senses and sat back.
"I've never been so him, and he must hate me now. Huangfu Mubai smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"You're doing it for his good, too. Yan Nai said lightly, he didn't dare to mention a word about the death of Huangfu Mubai's father.
"My father has always hoped that I could become an excellent onmyoji, and I could succeed him as the new head of the Huangfu family in the future, and I seemed to be very satisfied with him, becoming an intermediate onmyoji at the age of ten, and stepping into the high-level ranks at the age of fifteen, and also becoming a yin-yang supervisor, everything is developing in the direction that my father hopes. Huangfu Mubai looked at the night and said with blank eyes.
"Although Yao's talent is not as good as mine, he has always worked hard, but no matter how hard he tries, his father doesn't seem to care at all, 'The head of the family only needs your brother, as long as you don't lose the face of the Huangfu family. This was what Yao Xing said to him when he happily told him that he had learned the intermediate level of Yin Yang Technique, when he was only seven years old, he just wanted to get his father's approval, but he didn't expect to get such a sentence. A touch of pity flashed in Huangfu Mubai's eyes.
"The Huangfu family has always only attached importance to the eldest son, not to mention, the father has always believed that Yao killed his mother, and he is not to be treated, let alone teach him the art of yin and yang in person, the art of yin and yang that Yao learned is all learned with the children of the Huangfu family, and the yin and yang art of the Huangfu family, his father has no intention of teaching him at all. ”
"That's why you brought Yao to join Xiao, right?" Yan Nai seemed to understand why Huangfu Mubai would agree to the ten-year-old Huangfu Yao to join Yinyang Liao.
"I don't want to waste his talent, he can become an excellent onmyoji, but he will be buried in his own family, and he will ......" Huangfu Mubai said this and did not continue.
"And he's your most beloved brother. Yan Nai took his words, Huangfu Mubai's love for his younger brother was known to the whole Xiao.
"It's not so ......easy to take him away from Huangfu's house," Huangfu Mubai's eyes were a little gloomy and he said, "The entire Yin and Yang world says that I am a genius onmyoji who is rare in a thousand years, everyone in the Huangfu family thinks that I can and must stand on the top of Yin and Yang, I have never done anything according to my own wishes, every step is in accordance with the path arranged by my father, everything is for the family, even if I make friends, I must get my father's approval, and wanting to take Yao away from Huangfu's house is the first thing I want to make my own decisions since I was a child." ”
Yan Nai didn't speak, just quietly looked at the genius onmyoji in front of him who was envied, jealous and even wanted to get rid of everyone, there was no pride in such a young man, but more of a helplessness and dissatisfaction, it seemed that all this was not the life he wanted.
"You don't seem to like your father very much?" Yan Nai asked with some uncertainty, judging from Huangfu Mubai's account, he was obviously dissatisfied with some of his father's practices.
"Father is just one word to me, what he tells me to do, I will do it, he is gone, I seem to be grieving, so I am sad, it's weird, I don't like him, but he's gone, I'm really sad. Huangfu Mubai said with a wry smile.
"This is father and son. Yan Nai sighed lightly and said lightly, he didn't know what kind of emotion Huangfu Mubai had for his father, but at least he didn't like it.
"When I heard the news of his passing, I kept thinking about who I had been working for more than ten years, for my father, for my family, or for myself. ”
"What do you understand?" Yan Nai frowned slightly and looked at Huangfu Mubai, he faintly had a bad feeling.
"I have always lived for others, I used to be full of longing for the path of Onmyoji, and I was full of enthusiasm, and then I became working hard to become the best Onmyoji, I can't choose the Onmyoji I am interested in as I like, but I must learn what my father taught me, no matter how obscure they are, I must learn and be proficient, gradually I feel that it is painful to be an Onmyoji, I want to give up but I have to continue to persevere, when I became an Onmyoji admired by everyone, I was numb, I was like a puppet in my father's hand, and now the person who has been leading me to move forward suddenly disappeared, and I am finally free, but I don't know what I'm supposed to do. ”
"No matter what you do, you can't use forbidden arts, let alone fall into the demon path. After listening to Huangfu Mubai's words, Yan Nai seemed to understand that this may be the reason why he finally fell into the demon path, it may be an inducement, or it may be a direct reason, no matter what the reason, Yan Nai hopes to do his best to stop him.
"You two are so late and you haven't rested. Bai Tong also appeared on the roof, staring at them with a slight frown.
"Yan Na is afraid that I will fall into the demon path, and he is enlightening me. Huangfu Mubai said with a playful face, he was a little surprised at what Yan Nai said just now, but he quickly returned to normal.
"What are you two talking about?" Bai Tong looked at Yan Nai with a blank expression, "Why did you suddenly get involved in the problem of falling into the demon path?"
"I'm afraid that I will lose my father when I am young, and I can't think about it. Huangfu Mubai explained with a relaxed face, and the haze that had been hanging over his face just now was swept away, as if the conversation with Yan Nai just now had not happened.
“…… Mu Bai. Yan Nai looked speechlessly at Huangfu Mubai, who became chatty and laughing, these are completely two people from before Bai Tong came just now!
"Okay, no kidding, did Yao sleep?" Huangfu Mubai looked at Bai Tong, he was most concerned about his younger brother.
"Just fell asleep and seems to be still mad at you. Bai Tong sat down and said leisurely.
"Well, I'm too harsh. Huangfu Mubai sighed and said helplessly, "When the matter of Lingcheng is resolved, I will take him around." ”
"Do you have a way?" Bai Tong frowned, looking at Huangfu Mubai with unease, after all, there were dozens of their enemies, not to mention a group of onmyoji who could use forbidden techniques.
"We'll see you in three days. Huangfu Mubai said mysteriously, however, this made Yan Nai uneasy.
