An'er, after your mother is gone, only you and Ping'er will depend on each other, you are the elder brother, you have to protect the younger brother, you know?

When Su Yao was dying, his breath was dying, but his pale and haggard face forced a smile - sad and pity, reluctant and helpless.

Before she died, the woman was still thinking about her son.

"Brother, why are you hiding from Ping'er? Ping'er still wants to have a good chat with her brother. ”

There was a rustling sound of leaves on the side of his head, Shen Ping looked up, and saw Shen An holding the trunk of the tree, and his feet were against the muddy sand, sliding down the uphill little by little.

Shen Ping squinted, tilted his head, and playfully watched Shen An's slightly wolf gesture - anyone who had a little bit of True Qi training should be able to jump down this small hill easily.

As soon as Shen An's feet stepped on the ground, Shen Ping rushed up and hugged him tightly:

"Brother! Ping'er misses you so much! Ping'er misses her mother so much! ”

It's okay to hold Shen Ping's head in his arms is Su Yao's favorite action, and it is also Shen Ping's favorite action.

There was an inaudible whimper in the immature children's voice - this was Shen Ping's best trick. When Su Yao was still alive, Shen Ping always liked to speak with a hint of coquettishness - Su Yao's favorite thing was his innocent appearance.

Even when Shen Ping grew up, he liked to speak with a hint of deliberate hoarseness in his clear voice. Shen An didn't know how to describe Shen Ping's voice until he wandered in the Demon Domain and met the mermaids living in the East China Sea—that kind of voice whispered to tempt ignorant prey, waiting for the tired and hungry lost travelers in the ocean, waiting for them to fall into the belly of the fish and die in the sea.

"Speak well, don't be so yin and yang."

Shen An's cold answer did not have the slightest pity and love, it was very different from the past, Shen Ping pouted with dissatisfaction in his heart and said:

"Brother, but you don't like what Ping'er called you just now? However, Ping'er didn't want to, it was Ping'er's father who asked Ping'er to call it that. The voice became smaller and smaller, and then he changed his words with a timid look: "Brother, Ping'er really misses you." ”

Swindler! Damn despicable little liar!

The irrepressible anger slowly ignited in Shen An's heart.

He remembered that he had been deceived by Shen Ping's harmless appearance again and again, and fell into the trap again and again.

No, maybe it's not that Shen Ping is good at lying, but maybe he's too stupid.

Shen Ping - the younger brother who is better than himself, more talented than himself, and even more favored by his father than himself.

The younger brother who can't get rid of Shen An's hatred even if he is cut with a thousand knives.

Shen An had never hated Yuan Hui, yes, he was jealous of the bald donkey's unique luck and fate, but he didn't hate him for killing himself - because Yuan Hui had 10,000 reasons to kill Shen An.

But what did his own brother betray him for?

He will not forgive Shen Ping for pretending to be harmless to himself and getting close to him, but he deceived and betrayed again and again - it was he who swooped Shen Ao and threw Shen An into the demon extermination pool, it was he who coldly watched his servants and subordinates take pleasure in Shen An's despair, it was he who framed Shen An to kill innocents indiscriminately and forced his master to hunt him down, and it was he who refined Shen Fu into an immortal ghoul and threatened Shen An to surrender.

Shen An will not forget the reason why Shen Ping did these things-

Of course, it's because it's really interesting to see my brother's down-and-out appearance.

"I heard that my brother has been very busy lately, and he always runs down the mountain, and I think it's strange. Brother, will you take me with you next time you go down the mountain, I haven't seen a live calf yet, can you take someone there? ”

Shen Ping showed an innocent smile, like a harmless young beast, and pulled Shen An's sleeve with one hand. Shen An was already fifteen years old after the Chinese New Year, and Shen Ping's head had just rubbed against his chest now.

In the past year, Su Yao passed away, Shen An was reborn, he was busy accumulating merits, while Shen Ping was busy cultivating Taoism, and Shen Aoctao would not care about what family affection allowed the two brothers to have more contact.

So for a whole year, Shen An and Shen Ping had never been so close.

"Not good."

Shen An's expression was indifferent, and there was no fluctuation in the tone of his reply to the answer.

Shen An used to be kind to others in order to quickly increase his points, but now that the score is enough, he doesn't bother to pay attention to others, especially the people of the Shen family.

Shen An hates the most vain and wronged people, but his younger brother is a leader.

He knew Shen Ping too well, this kid wouldn't do anything that didn't benefit him. It's fake to be close to himself, and stealing the Su family's kung fu is his goal.

Shen Ping's face froze, he had never been prepared to be rejected by Shen An, and then sneered: "Brother, who are you showing your face to?" Daddy was strict with his brother, but he paid attention to Ping'er because of his brother's lack of qualifications. Is it too ungraceful for my brother to pour his anger on his own brother? ”

Shen Ping pulled Shen Ping's hand from his waist, and snorted coldly in a still condescending tone:

"The rules of the Shen family - be cautious in your words and deeds, have you forgotten? No matter how insufficient my qualifications are, I am still the eldest son and the next head of the Shen family. Now that you know who each other are, why do you want to be a child and want to please me? Instead of playing tricks here, it's better to go back and cultivate well, and your father can look at you more. ”

Shen An had long been disheartened by this younger brother, he remembered that in his previous life, when the two completely broke up and faced each other with swords, Shen Ping was crazy and roared at him for betraying him - because Shen Ping hated him and began to hate him since he could remember - Shen Ping was born just to replace Shen An, who could not inherit the family business, and her gentle mother was devoted to her frail brother, and her strict father only forced Shen Ping to practice hard just so that he could take over the Shen family early.

Even if Shen An loved this younger brother in his previous life, Shen Ping didn't appreciate it. The brother of a fellow mother is not his sibling, but a thorn in his eye, an eyesore who constantly reminds him that he is just a substitute.

Therefore, he hated Shen An.

In this case, why should the reborn Shen An be polite to him.

Shen Ping's eyes widened, and he looked up at his eldest brother in disbelief. Since he was a child, he looked down on this eldest brother, and Shen Aoduo made no secret of his dislike for Shen An. Everyone said that this brother was just a "waste", and he should be the future head of the Shen family. However, in order to compete for Su Yao's attention, he could only behave coquettishly to his brother, pretending to be like his mother, and pleasing his mother.

He liked the feeling of disguise, the feeling of everyone being toyed with and clapping. Especially the elder brother, every time he saw him naively and stupidly believing that his father was really training him, believing that he was really willing to be close to him, Shen Ping wanted to laugh.

Shen An should be his own pleasure, not his own threat.

Shen An's indulgent words angered Shen Ping - in the entire Red Lotus Territory, the "Second Young Master Shen Ping" can be said to be one person below ten thousand, and that "one person" refers to Shen Aoduo and will never be Shen An! Shen Ping no longer looked like an innocent child, took a few steps back, he changed back to his previous title of "brother", and sneered at Shen An with a smile:

"Am I talking about it? My brother must have heard what those people said just now. Who in the Shen family still takes their brother seriously?! You are only here because you are the firstborn. I am the next head of the Shen family! ”

This seat is too lazy to talk to you so much.

Shen An turned his head to leave, but there was a murderous aura behind him, and he deliberately pulled out the fish scale water sword he was wearing sideways to block the Qingmang sword that slashed diagonally towards his chest, Shen Ping's sword.

"Shen Ping, you are so bold! The Shen family duels in private, the light ones copy the door rules in front of the ancestral hall, and the heavy ones abolish the spiritual root and expel them out! Have you forgotten everything! ”

"Oh? So who is the brother going to cry to? Mother? ”

The two of them faced each other with swords, and the sound of weapons intersecting was endless. Shen Ping was like teasing and did not make the inner strength true qi. He didn't want to hurt Shen An, he didn't have the courage to test Shen Aoduo's patience. However, he couldn't tolerate Shen An's condescending posture - he was frightened, like a motherless beast, which was the look that Shen An should deserve.

"Brother, you say, if I stab my brother here, will my father punish me or you?"

If the two of them were just ordinary mortals in the mortal realm, a ten-year-old child would naturally not be the opponent of a fifteen-year-old boy. However, Shen Ping knew his brother's ability, so he naturally did not have the slightest fear.

Leaving aside the age gap, there was no reason why a monk who was already approaching the late stage of innate qi would lose to an ordinary person who couldn't even run his true qi.

It's a pity that Shen An is not an ordinary person.

The sound of swords has been striking each other for more than ten times. Shen Ping has gradually run out of patience - the sword of the red lotus, when it comes out of the sheath, it will see blood, it is not the enemy's, it is his own.

Shen An felt Shen Ping's murderous aura.

He already has a lot of Root Pills now, and the Fish Scale Water Sword is about to be completed, if he uses his True Qi here to teach Shen Ping a lesson, even if his innate Qi is discovered by Shen Ao, he can rely on the Root Pills to survive for a few days.

Repeated stabbing were all dodged, Shen Ping was furious, twisted the sword trick in his hand, urged the aura, and a golden-white flame crossed the border like a curling dragon, and flew towards Shen An with teeth and claws.

As long as you're dead...... As long as you're dead! I am the only heir!

Shen Ping was almost engulfed by the excitement and killing intent surging in his chest, it turned out that killing people was such a fun thing!

However, a basin of cold water was poured down, and the fire in front of him was split by Shen An's volley, and his cold face reappeared from the fire, and his body was surrounded by angry tongues of fire, like a phoenix being reborn from the flames.

Shen An's fire skills had been cultivated to the seventh layer, so they were all platinum-colored, and such a high temperature couldn't hurt him in the slightest!

"You! Your innate qi! Shen Ping was taken aback, and his face changed suddenly! When did Shen An awaken his innate qi?! What has he cultivated to what extent?

"My mother has passed away, now I will teach you a lesson!"

Shen An recited the sword technique, his face was cold, but his eyes were extremely bright, the air gradually vibrate, his clothes fluttered as if dancing, and the water vapor gradually precipitated in the air reflected his handsome side face.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Ping urged his true qi and used the "third trick of the Red Lotus Ten Tribulations" - the fire lotus body, and the golden hundred flames around him immediately surrounded it.

At such a high temperature, nothing can penetrate it, because the moment it comes into contact, it will be burned by the raging fire!

Bite! Bite! Bite!

Three cold flashes of light in front of him struck with a cold piercing sound, and the Qingmang sword in his right hand was hit to the ground, and after hearing the sound of the sword body falling to the ground, Shen An came back to his senses, and the salty smell of rust came from the corner of his mouth, and he touched it and found that it was the blood oozing from the scratches on the side of his face.

Shen Ping was shocked, the one in front of him was already beyond the scope of what he could understand—impossible! There's no way he could lose! There's no way he's going to lose to that piece of shit!!

Once the consciousness is panicked, the true qi cannot cooperate, and the tongue of fire gradually disappears. Seeing Shen An slowly approaching him, Shen Ping subconsciously retreated and sat down. Only then did he see that his left foot had been nailed to the ground by an icicle.

He clenched the icicle with both hands and pulled it off with all his might, and as soon as it touched the absolute low temperature of zero degrees, he instantly frostbitten his hands, and tore off the skin of his palms as he tore them open.

But he didn't care about the pain.

He's going to stand up, he's going to keep fighting!

However, when he raised his head, Shen An had already walked up to him and stared at him condescendingly. Shen Ping propped his hands behind his back and moved back in a panic, while Shen An used the Xuantie Sword to provoke his chin, indifferently and wordlessly continued to approach step by step.

This was the first time Shen Ping had experienced fear.

"You...... Don't dare to hurt my ...... I...... I'm going to sue sù daddy...... I'm going to sue Shen Fu! ”

Shen An's eyes flashed with true killing intent! Thinking of Shen Fu's previous life when he was refined into a ghoul, not a human and a ghost, Shen An was furious.

He must be killed! Shen Ping must be killed!!

Only by killing him here will he not harm others! Only by killing him here will he not harm himself!

[Ding-Killing children and young children, cruel and unkind! If you do this, you will be deducted 100,000 points, and your current points are insufficient, so please use them with caution! 】

Shen An ignored the voice in his head.

Killing Shen An here, disguised as the appearance killed by the Demon Sect, Shen Aoduo couldn't suspect himself.

Didn't Shen Aocao always want to enter the Demon Sect? I'll give him an excuse.

Shen Ping, you owe this seat, come back now!

Shen An's figure was projected above Shen Ping's head, he realized for the first time that his brother was so tall and would not show a gentle brother on weekdays, a cold smile appeared on his face at this moment, and his eyes were not smiling:

"Speaking of which, you haven't killed anyone yet, brother."

It's a shame you don't have a chance.

"Don't! Mother save me! Shen Ping no longer cared about his dignity, he screamed in shock, his mind was blank, he didn't even realize whose name he called, he hugged his head tightly with both hands, and pulled out half of the jade pendant on his chest.

- The other half of Su Yao's jade pendant.

You're the older brother, you have to protect the younger brother, you know?

The fish scale water sword in Shen An's hand shook, but after hesitating for a moment, Shen Ping immediately came back to his senses and grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and threw it at Shen An's face.

Shen An took two steps back, holding his sword and listening to the voice. Fortunately, Shen Ping had no intention of fighting, he crawled on the ground for a while, and he didn't even have time to pick up the Qingmang Sword that he had taken off, and the wolf bèi fled.

In the end, he was the only one left in the forest, and Shen An was not busy wiping the sand on his face, but just stood there indifferently, his heart like ashes.

Mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to agree to your request......

============================================================================

He really wanted to kill me!

Shen Ping fled desperately back, he fled so quickly, so panicked, the grass and trees were all enemies, and the rumors were all enemies.

He ran out of the back mountain, and he ran back to the Red Lotus Villa - he finally couldn't run anymore.

However, he can't let others see his appearance, he is the true heir of the Red Lotus Shen family, he should be like his father, always high, always confident, always calm and majestic.

He hid in the grass, no one could see him, and he held on to the trunk of the tree and panted desperately.

- and then slammed a fist into the trunk of the tree.

It shouldn't be like this, there shouldn't be this gap between me and him! I'm supposed to be the winner! I'm supposed to win that!

I'm better than him! That's what Daddy said! That's what everybody says!

The head of the Shen family dislikes the eldest son.

This is an open secret of the Shen family.

The Shen family doesn't need waste, only the strong are worthy of entering the Shen family. The person who can inherit the Shen family must be the strongest of the strong.

Shen Ping knew the reason why he was valued - because his brother was a waste.

However, the person who fought with him was not a "waste person"! Shen An's innate qi had already been refined to at least the eighth layer before he could use the Ice Sword Technique, which was so close to absolute zero, to resist the fire lotus qi that he had already reached the seventh layer.

Why does my brother keep hiding his strength?

Thinking of the situation just now, fear, shame, anger, all kinds of emotions surged into his chest, Shen Ping bit his lip tightly, his head pressed against the trunk of the tree, not letting the tears pass through his face but until he fell to the ground-

I didn't cry! I didn't cry! I'm just careless!

Shen Ping didn't know Shen An's reason, but he knew one thing - he must not let Shen Aochou know that he lost, and he couldn't let anyone know that he lost to Shen An and ran away.

The sword of the red lotus, when it comes out of the sheath, will see blood, it is not the enemy's, it is your own.

Shen Ping couldn't bear to be the laughing stock of the entire Shen family.

I'm going to be stronger, I'm going to be stronger!

I've already lost my mother, and I must not lose my father too!

Shen Ping wiped his face and looked at the palm of his hand - it's good that he didn't shed tears, all he shed was blood - and the person who let himself bleed, he will one day ask him to repay a hundred times! With a fierce light on his face, he secretly swore that

I must kill Shen An! I want him dead!
