Xia Jing did so.

Midnight.

Now that the clouds cover the moon, even the deer clan can hardly distinguish the surrounding scenery clearly.

Nangong stood in the courtyard blowing the night breeze as the night two days ago.

Unlike two days ago, there are fewer people to disturb the interest today.

That alone makes a big difference.

Ye Chun killed Ah Le last night.

The masterminds of the rebellion were sucked alive by the sword and were vulnerable to being wiped out from this world. With such a ridiculous result, people wonder what she did to use humans to survive for more than 18 years. Of course, the reason why she lived secretly in the first place would definitely not be for this purpose. What supports Ah Le to live should be the idea of revenge on the people who rebelled against her.

However, in the end, the woman did not have the slightest desire to live or fear death, and accepted death happily.

Frankly speaking, just recalling that scene made Nangong feel unhappy.

knelt in front of Ye Chun, as if to say, "Come, please cut me!" Ah Le, who showed his defenseless body and had a smile on his face, said, "You must help your mother's wish come true."

Those were her last words.

Indeed, from her standpoint, such a death may be the most satisfying. Because the daughter will inherit her legacy and put an end to the fate of the deer clan. Although the two have different motives, the daughter can fulfill her wish on behalf of her, which is the happiest thing as a mother.

However, at that time, Ye Chun said something like this:

- I never thought that this woman was my mother.

With an expression of insult, hatred, and disdain on his face.

And rightfully so.

As the daughter of a traitor, the truth is obscured, and she is regarded as the second patriarch - how could Ye Chun regard the culprit who caused her pain as her mother's admiration?

The mother is not aware of the sins she has committed, but loves her daughter; Although the daughter has a grudge against her mother, she does not hold her accountable for her sins, but only takes advantage of her love. The mother and daughter are so completely twisted that people can't help but laugh.

In terms of personal affection, Nangong also wants to kill Ah Le with his own hands. Slowly, a thousand knives were cut, tormenting her to the fullest extent before she could go crazy with pain, and then letting her die in a state of intense fear while she still had her senses. Nangong has such an impulse, not only because Ah Le caused Ye Chun to suffer a lot, but also because of personal factors.

That's her two younger sisters, Sasha and Xiangxiang.

── I owe it to me that they were born?

Thinking of what Ah Le said two days ago, Nangong was nauseated.

She was right.

It stands to reason that twin sisters should not have been born. According to the rules of the deer clan, when you know that you are carrying twins in your belly, you must beat them. Before we talk about twins, however, there is a bigger issue at hand. Basically, a split family is not allowed to have a second daughter. Even the Nangong family is no exception.

The taboo will be broken, and the initiator will be Ah Le – to be exact, Ah Le and her sister, the former patriarch.

In the eighteen-year turmoil, the sword failed to cause a fatal reason for Ah Le.

Because Ah Le has the same blood as the person who wielded the knife at that time.

Because Ah Le and her are not simple sisters.

This is a special treatment that is exclusive to the family. Almost all of the divisions were kept in the dark, a fact that only a very small number of elders were aware of. In order to whitewash the peace, it must have taken a lot of painstaking work.

However, that also creates flaws.

Although the details of the situation at that time are not clear, the reason why Ah Le went crazy may be one of the reasons. Because strictly speaking, as a role model for a family, the most important thing is to have a downright heart, and the daughter born in this environment of this family was originally a product born from breaking taboos.

The Nangong family can be said to have been implicated for no reason.

The former patriarch and elders felt guilty for breaking the taboo, so they were especially open to Nangong's mother. She was allowed to give birth to Xiang Xiang and Sasha, but only on the condition that they must be completely cultivated into props, and the result-

"Sister Nangong, what are you doing here?"

"What are you doing here, Sister Nangong?"

A voice suddenly came from behind Nangong.

There was no need to look back to confirm, Nangong could also hear that it was his sister.

"Didn't do anything."

So she answered as usual, as if she were dealing with props.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'll tell you, Sister Nangong."

When Nangong asked, the twins replied in unison, "There are no cats here. I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find it."

"I was looking forward to the difference between the cats on the mountain, so boring."

Nangong sneered and replied to the twins who were full of words.

「…… How could there be a cat in the Lost House."

Let's be honest......

Whenever Nangong gets along with her two younger sisters, she feels full of impatience and hatred.

She didn't know whether that emotion was directed at the twins or at herself. Or is it against the mother who gave birth to them? Or promised their mother to give birth to their former patriarchs? Or is it a more abstract concept, the darkness that the deer people carry with them?

If it's a prop, then why do the sisters have such a boyish side? Obviously, their personalities are so childish, but once Nangong gives the order, they will act like props, which makes Nangong very anxious.

- What a joke, it's ridiculous, and I feel impulsive when I see it. From the moment it fell to the ground. Their existence is concealed, and the only people they can contact are their parents and none, compared to the deer clan who have been closed from the world. The world they live in is even smaller.

Xiangxiang and Sasha will come up with their own names for various things, which is also due to this. Only they can understand the meaning of the term—even if they correct and persuade them repeatedly, they just can't change this bad problem.

Furthermore, they have developed strange habits even in the way they eat and the rules of going to bed, no matter how big or small. It's like feeding each other with chopsticks, and sleeping with their heads facing up in a row of quilts. These phenomena feel very strange in the eyes of others, but in a world where there are only the two of them, they can't be more reasonable.

As long as I look at them, my mood will be inexplicably impetuous.

That's not love or brotherhood. I can't have a similar feeling to them when I was with my mother or Ye Chun, and I don't have the same sense of comfort when I get along with Adai.

Although the impatience and hatred can be clearly felt, it is obviously different from the negative emotions that Ye Ya has in his arms. The emotion she didn't know how to classify was hard for her to let go.

I don't understand. What is such a feeling?

No—I don't want to figure it out.

"It's an order, Sasha, Xiangxiang. Stop thinking about meaningless questions and go to bed."

So Nangong decided to treat the twins with the same attitude as a machine.

The word command comes into play with the start switch.

The expression faded from the twins' faces.

At the same time, they knelt on the ground and replied reflexively, "Yes, Sister Nangong." 」

Looking at their appearance, Nangong couldn't help but feel irritated again, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Tomorrow is a decisive battle. Before going to bed, remember the plan clearly and configure it according to Lord Ye Chun's instructions. And then...... Do your best to meet the enemy, don't fight with a game mentality, the goal is to annihilate the opponent."

Nangong was expressionless, as if he was announcing an announcement, but faintly told his sisters: "In addition, there is another important matter. This is my command in my capacity as head of the family......

At midnight.

The final battle is about to begin in fourteen hours.

The night that seemed to be quiet and vaguely filled with a sense of tension passed, and the morning was the same, maintaining the atmosphere that seemed calm at first glance.

Although the battle meeting was held in the morning and evening, it was difficult to discuss any good ideas when it was impossible to predict what the other side would do, and at best it was to confirm who was going to use what weapons or who was responsible for what work, and the final conclusion was that "everyone should cheer up and work hard."

Even so, the time to come came.

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

The group took the vehicle prepared by the "Sheng" to the mountain road.

Xia Jing and the others stood at the entrance to the house of the lost in the mountains.

Xia Jing, Ye Ya, Lin Yu, Anye, Lanyang.

Everyone traveled lightly, but Xia Jing was carrying a backpack. The backpack contained a lot of items. Because Ye Ya and the others are likely to confront the enemy head-on, they can only be responsible for their own backs. But it's really heavy. But after all, it's something you have to bring, so you can only grit your teeth and endure it.

As for the sand, it is left on the mountain road for just in case.

However, the "in case" here actually refers to the situation where escape is unavoidable, so her job is only to assist in escape and provide transportation.

The amazing thing is that everyone, including Xia Jing, has a very calm expression.

Of course, this battle may well be the final one. Everyone was nervous. However, there is a sense of enlightenment in everyone's heart, as if they have broken through their confusion.

In the end, I can only do my best to give it a go.

Whether it is Lan Yang, who has only recently started to contact the battle, and his skills have not been perfected.

As the guardian of the family, Lin Yu, who has been trained since childhood.

Growing up in human society, Anno, whose strength is far inferior to his mother's.

Shouldering the heavy responsibility of the second daughter of the family, Ye Ya works harder than anyone else to make herself stronger.

Even Xia Jing is the same.

Not only is the strength uneven, but there are also many people who are not good at martial arts and swords, even so, I am afraid that everyone still chooses to believe that each other's questions will not be pulled back.

I didn't hear anyone say anything like "come on" or "don't be too nervous". There's no need for that.

Everyone stood there in silence.

The reason is because the message brought by Ye Chun wrote such a sentence: - When the time comes, someone will be sent to lead the way.

There is no need to talk, and everyone knows who that person is referring to.

After waiting for about ten minutes.

The man slowly emerged from the mountain.

The dress was covered with a Western-style apron, and it was dressed like a traditional waiter. For girls, they are slightly taller than average. On the fair face, there is a face with delicate facial features but an expressionless face.

I saw her with her long pale hair tied behind her head, bowing respectfully.

"Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. Lord Yaya."

Ye Ya answered her in a suppressed voice.

"Thank you, Ana."

Xia Jing couldn't help but look away, and Lan Yang's reaction was probably the same.

Anai – Sister – Charya.

Obviously, people are close in front of you, but it feels as far away as the ends of the world.

Xia Jing didn't know whether to treat her as an anai or as a sister, no matter what, she was already a maid who belonged to Ye Chun. What Xia Jing and the others said didn't mean anything to her.

But now is not the time to worry about this kind of thing.

Be aware of your priorities.

It would be better to leave her question to Ye Chun and then think about it after they have made a decision.

"Ana."

Xia Jing deliberately called her sister by her name as a maid.

At this time, he glanced at Lan Yang-eye, hoping that she could also understand her feelings.

「…… Please lead the way and lead us to Ye Chun."

"Yes, Lord Natsukei."

My sister also addresses Xia Jing with an honorific title.

"Please come with me."

Anai turned around and left. The crowd looked at each other silently and followed her.

The group went deep into the mountains.

If there are no accidents, the journey should be thirty or forty minutes long.

The Lost House is at the end of the road.

The place where Ye Ya and the others lived in the past is now used as a base by Ye Chun, and it is also the current destination of Xia Jing and his party.

After all, this time it was to smash Huanglong directly, and it was the enemy who took the initiative to place the battle post, Xia Jing and his party had already been mentally prepared, and this trip could not be smooth sailing. There must have been some kind of trap set halfway through the way – it was only right to be wary.

However, the truth was completely unexpected by the group.

I couldn't help but laugh when I waited there so openly—after climbing the mountain road for five minutes, when Lin Yu saw the two of them appear, this was the first thing that came to mind.

"Good afternoon, big brothers, big sisters."

"Big brothers, big sisters, good afternoon."

Next to the stream that runs through the forest, on mossy rocks.

Sasha and Xiangxiang, who were sitting on the top and waiting for a group of people to pass by, waved innocently when they saw Xia Jing and the others appearing.

Everyone immediately put on a posture of Xia Jing. Lin Yu is no exception. She raised her hands in front of her heart, her knees sinking down to lower her center of gravity, putting herself in a state ready to attack.

In the face of Lin Yu and others, who were very well guarded, the twins still did not change their innocent smiles.

"Don't be so nervous, big brothers, big sisters. Isn't that right, Sasha?"

"yes, Xiangxiang. We'll show our real skills and take your time with you."

「…… Hey."

Xia Jing took a step forward and confronted the twins.

Confused, he asked, "Are you two the only ones staying here?"

"That's right."

The two of them replied in unison, and the sound of the murmuring stream came into their ears.

Lin Yu couldn't help frowning.

- What's going on?

According to the original prediction, if the enemy takes the initiative to meet the battle, it should be poured out. Otherwise, it is not excluded that the other party will set a trap to disperse our manpower, and then break them in order.

Xia Jing and the others had already planned the way of fighting in advance, so that they could respond on the spot no matter what happened in any situation, but they didn't expect the situation in front of them at all.

"You're here to scout?"
