Xiao Ziyu had long expected that Xiao Batian would definitely come to ask him about his master, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, but fortunately, he had the foresight to change his clothes, and then he could immediately go to the main hall with the little servant.

Yun Ji stretched out her hand and grabbed Xiao Ziyu's cuffs, looking at him with worried eyes, she had been under Xiao Batian for so many years, although she couldn't say that she knew his mood well, but she also knew that Xiao Batian's temperament did not allow anyone to make any mistakes.

Xiao Batian looks like a well-dressed king on the surface, but in fact he is a brutal beast, even if Xiao Ziyu is his son, he will inevitably suffer severe punishment if he can't successfully complete the task, Xiao Ziyu has just woken up, and his body has not fully adapted, if he suffers huge damage at this time, I am afraid that he will leave sequelae.

Yun Ji's worries were exactly in Xiao Ziyu's eyes, but they were alleviated by him with a reassuring gaze, and his voice was as low and beautiful as ever, "Don't worry, you are waiting for me here, and when I come back safely, I still have something to say to you." ”

Xiao Ziyu has never told lies, since he said that he would come back safely, then he must be completely prepared to fight against Xiao Batian.

Yun Ji's hand slowly let go, looking at the corners of Xiao Ziyu's clothes behind her back, there was a feeling of emptiness in her heart, what Xiao Ziyu wanted to say to her, Yun Ji actually had a little outline in her heart, but I just hoped that Xiao Ziyu would never really say those words that she couldn't refuse.

……

Jinyu Palace has not changed much from a year ago, it is still so gorgeous but there is no warmth at all, exactly the same as Xiao Ziyu's memories since childhood.

Xiao Ziyu slowly came to the main hall and stood still, his eyes calmly looked directly at Xiao Batian who was sitting on the throne, his face and expression did not fluctuate at all, and he said in a flat voice, "See my father." ”

"Fortunately, you still know that I am your father." Xiao Batian's voice was lukewarm, although it did not mean to be angry, but it still gave people an indescribable sense of gloom, which made people feel depressed for no reason.

The corners of Xiao Ziyu's mouth were slightly hooked, but a trace of bitterness overflowed under his eyes, father? What kind of price did this word come from, I'm afraid only Xiao Ziyu himself knows the true meaning.

Almost no one knows that Xiao Ziyu is not Xiao Batian's biological son, but a righteous son he adopted, Xiao Batian is a ruthless person, and Xiao Ziyu was not the heir he wholeheartedly identified at first.

Back then, Xiao Batian picked up many talented orphans and brought them back, and then locked them all in a room without saying a word, and never gave them any water and food from then on.

Most of the children in the room were young, even if their bodies had cultivated spiritual power, they still couldn't resist hunger, and they fell ill or fainted one after another, and the number of corpses increased day by day, until Zuihou, only one child was left, and the door that seemed like hell to separate sunlight and food was finally opened.

The child who survived was Xiao Ziyu, and this cruel and terrifying process was the trial for Xiao Batian to choose his future heir, and the first thing he said to the dying Xiao Ziyu at that time was, "Only if you can endure what others can't endure, can you be worthy of heavy responsibilities in the future." ”
