The backyard of Dongyi Wangfu was quiet, the garden was full of flowers, but no one was watching, Dongfang Lie sat quietly on the roof, looking at the sky in a daze, thinking about what happened a year ago in his mind.

It has been almost a year since Dongfang Xiao ran away from home with her mother Suweni. A year ago, Chihong sent the patriarch Chonger, the high-ranking old guy claimed that Emperor Xuan planned to marry the princess of the royal family, Hong Jun Lixu, to the eldest son of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Xiao, and said that this was a once-in-a-lifetime marriage, with this relationship, the Dongfang family will become the big master of the four families, and there is only one condition, that is, to let Princess Liyi be his wife, and Suweni will be reduced to a concubine.

The grandfather of the family, Caesar the East, was naturally very happy about this, and the elders of the family also agreed, because they had never recognized the identity of Suwene's eldest son's wife. But Dongfang Xiao disagreed, Dongfang Xiao said that if the family wanted to accept this marriage, he would leave the family and never come back.

His grandfather, Dongfang Kaiser, said that if he left, he would never come back, but he said that Dongfang Xiao would not leave. Because of this, Dongfang Xiao collided with the patriarch, and after that, Dongfang Xiao was temporarily locked in the dungeon of the Dongfang family and sent several masters to guard it.

However, on the wedding night, Dongfang Xiao was escorted out of the dungeon and walked to the main hall, he saw Suweni hiding on the side, and suddenly opened the golden body of the fire demon, which was a forbidden technique, under the power of the taboo, his whole body turned molten gold, and instantly broke free from the shackles on his body, no one could stop him, he fled with Suweni, and when Dongfang Caesar and the old people arrived and came out of the main hall, the person was already gone. His grandfather, Oriental Caesar, was rushed by blood and fainted on the spot, and since then he has been seriously ill and can only recuperate in bed.

For a year, Dongfang Lie was worried about the safety of his parents all the time, and he himself didn't know if his parents would be able to come back.

It was almost dark, Dongfang Lie came down from the roof, and it happened that the housekeeper Dongfang Li also came to let him go to dinner. At the dinner table, Dongfang Lie was eating ordinary food for two by himself, and the housekeeper Dongfang Li was sitting beside him and watching him, his mouth kept nagging.

"Young master, you have to go back to the academy tomorrow, remember to study hard, you don't have to worry about your second uncle and them at home."

"Hmm." He nodded faintly.

"Make more friends at school, you see, Baron and Bill are good, make more friends with those kind of people, but don't mess around with bad friends."

"Uh-huh."

"The general assessment at the end of the year, strive to win the first place in all the examination items of the college, so that not only will you bring glory, but also glory to your family, your grandfather will be happy, maybe his illness will be cured soon." Dongfang Li said in a calm tone.

[Will my mother be happy if she gets a good score? Dongfang Lie suddenly thought of this, he swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his mouth with a tissue, "Uncle Li, I'll go see grandpa." ”

"Remember to come back early and go to bed."

"Got it."

The next day, Dongfang Lie got up and went back to Chihong, which was five months. Five months later, at the end of the year, Dongfang Lie returned from the Chihong Royal Academy with good news. He came back with a group of people who beat gongs, drums, and flags.

On that day, Ruolan City was more lively than the New Year.

"Chihong Royal Academy, the fifty-sixth academy of Dongfang Lie, after the end of the year, after the general assessment of the technique, in the close strength, speed, mind, mind, swordsmanship, formation, elemental ability of the six general assessment have won the first place, of which strength, speed, and elements are all full scores, the total assessment score reached an unprecedented 663 points, successfully surpassed the 662 points of Ximen Zhishui, which maintained the highest record for sixty-four years, and became a well-deserved 'first day genius of the human race'! With the special approval of the school office and His Majesty Emperor Xuan, Dongfang Lie, who was originally scheduled to graduate at the age of thirteen, was allowed to graduate six years ahead of schedule......"

The large-scale amplified voice transmission jade played the good news in Ruolan City, everyone in the city showed joy, the old people nodded with satisfaction, the adults gave a thumbs up, and the children each showed envy and reverence.

Yes, it took only a year and a half for a seven-year-old child to graduate from the seven-year Chihong Royal Academy, which is unprecedented in history. But Dongfang Lie turned the impossible into reality.

A celebration meeting was held in the Dongyi Palace, and a lot of dignitaries from the imperial capital came, and everyone seemed to be happy, even Dongfang Caesar, who was seriously ill, also arrived at the scene, but only Dongfang Lie was not happy. He sat in the noisy hall, and everyone was praising him, but he lowered his head, looked at the clear wine in the glass, and said lightly, "If only my father and mother were here." ”

His Dongfang Xiao has made a big mistake in order to escape the marriage contract of the royal family, which is a big crime of disrespect, even if the family does not investigate his fault, the government will add his fault. But Dongfang Lie said this kind of thing in front of many powerful people.

After hearing Dongfang Lie's muttering, the patriarch was stunned at first, Dongfang Caesar found something, and immediately said, "Patriarch, the child is not sensible, please forgive me." ”

As soon as he said that, before the patriarch had time to pick up, Dongfang Lie got up and left, and people were looking at him on the way he left.

"Where are you going?!" Dongfang Kaiser slapped the table violently, the plates on the round table vibrated and vibrated suddenly, and before he could stop it, Dongfang Lie had already walked out of the hall and rushed into the sky, heading towards the back mountain.

"Lord Dongyi, it seems that your grandson has also inherited his father's rebellious character. Alas, after all, I am too young to do such things that are not considered, don't worry, I am not serious with a child. ”

On a rainy night, the rolling dark clouds are like a long black river that obscures the sky in early spring, Ruolan City has never rained in this season, but the thunder falls, and the heavy rain pours out. Dongfang Lie stood in front of the sickbed of the Eastern Caesar, his eyes covered by a layer of ashes, lifeless. There was only a white candle burning in the room, emitting a faint light, illuminating Dongfang Lie's face pale. He looked at the frail Oriental Caesar, and couldn't help but hold the old man's dry hand with both hands.

Since his illness for more than a year, the physical condition of the Eastern Caesar has deteriorated, and the former "Ten Thousand Imperial Cavalry Generals" has also become weak, and now he is short of breath and is already dying.

"Lie'er, when your father comes back, let him take charge of the family, you are still young now, and no one in the Dongfang family can support this family except him." Oriental Caesar gasped and said.

Dongfang Lie didn't have a little expression on his face, "Grandpa, what about Mom?" Can't the family forgive mom? ”

Suddenly, there was a flash of thunder in the sky outside, and a deafening thunder came, and the Eastern Caesar grabbed his sleeve tightly, "Remember...... Your mother...... It is the clan of Detias, and the Emperor Xuanhuang cares about it the most...... It's the Ancient Relic! So your mother's affairs are also for a reason...... And I didn't mean to embarrass them......"

Without waiting for Caesar to finish speaking, he spoke, "Grandpa, I know, you don't need to say any more. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Oriental Caesar regained his calm expression, and his nervous heart relaxed a little, buried his head in the crook of his arm, and wanted to rest by the bed, but before he knew it, he fell asleep.

I don't know how long he slept, he was woken up by the voice of the Oriental Caesar, and in the dimness he heard his grandfather's laughter, and saw that the only candle in the room was also extinguished, so he opened his eyes, and then heard the Oriental Caesar speak:

"I will pay what I owe, but my children and grandchildren should not bother them anymore."

Dongfang Lie was just about to say something, when he heard someone behind him speak, "Do as you say." I don't know when the man came in, as soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Lie turned around violently, but a cold wind hit him on his head, and only the window sash swaying in the wind and rain was left in front of him.

He looked back again, and the Oriental Caesar on the bed had already lost his breath, without any injuries on his body, and he died peacefully.

The rain was still falling, Dongfang Lie knelt in front of the spiritual seat of the mourning hall, his grandfather's coffin was behind the spiritual seat, all the young people of the family were there, as the eldest grandson, he was wearing linen and filial piety, and he had to keep the spirit for three days.

It's the second day now.

Just when black and white were alternating, Dongfang Xiao, who was bloody and murderous, broke into the palace with Su Weini, who was about to give birth, entered the backyard bedroom, and after arranging the production properly, he came to the mourning hall alone.

As soon as Dongfang Xiao came, Dongfang Lie got up and left, in the front hall of the mourning hall, the adults were arguing about something, he came to the coffin alone, stared at his grandfather's coffin for a long time, and he didn't listen to the conversation of his father.

The screams in the backyard broke his silence, and he was the first to come to the backyard, only to see two retainers dying from the beating.

"Mom!" He screamed, and saw three mysterious people in white robes rushing into Suweeni's bedroom, and the nerves in his whole body tensed, and his hands involuntarily folded and aimed at the three people! A fiery dragon appeared in the rain and pounced on them with a wild dance, and an explosion blocked his attack, and the blast pushed him out.

He heard his mother's exclamations.

Then, he fell into the flowers of the garden, and the rain fell on him unscrupulously, and the power of the flames he had just gathered was instantly washed away by the rain, and the powerful spiritual pressure crushed him to the ground.

Then, he heard the sound of someone else coming, several explosions rang out, and his mother's cry stopped abruptly, and he could no longer hear it. He looked up at the black sky, and there were figures walking farther and farther away.

Then Dongfang Xiao's heart-rending roar was gradually buried by the thunder.

"Mom's ......"
