His mother died young, and his father's time and energy were wasted on unfinished official duties and raising his eldest son. Although he and Jialing also have the surname "Fengdi", they are like shadows and are dispensable existences. The two grew up with servants, and during the long years of each other's company, they often saw their pity in each other. Xiu Dye is luckier than Jialing, although he is not loved by his father, but the eldest brother died, and his father can only choose him. But Jialing, who is the youngest and a girl, has no chance of reversing her fate. She was married to Poseidon Island early on, and became a pawn for her father to maintain loyalty to distant territories.

After Shuran took power, he always tried to make up for his sister as much as possible. The accounts of the Wanyi Temples under her mother-in-law's rule are simply miserable, and not only has Xiu Dye not been investigated, but also often secretly helps her make up for it. For a few years, the yellow fever epidemic on Poseidon Island was severe, and the temple should have joined hands with the temple to take on the work of epidemic prevention and treatment, but Jialing's short-sighted husband actually stood by and watched when the epidemic was prevalent. After the epidemic, he half-forced and half-deceived many young people who had lost their parents to the Eternal Forest, taking the opportunity to confiscate their family property. This matter once caused trouble to the Golden Leaf Witch of the Hot Spring Palace, which made Xiu Dye very passive.

There are quite a few such situations. Xiu Ran always suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and helped Jialing stop the matter.

He couldn't forget the childhood they had together.

While he spent the whole day alone in the corner of the library of the Golden Crow, the servants only symbolically searched, while Jialing could wander around the library for hours with his lunch box until he found his brother. Then the brother and sister sat quietly on the floor and shared the meal. Every year on Adventist Day, my father would take my eldest brother and the students who had performed to cross the lake of flames to participate in the celebration. He and Jialing were always left on the island. They would get up in the middle of the night and sneak to the ferry on Jinwu Island to watch the fireworks. When a large firework in the night sky illuminated the crowd of people in the Square of the Gods on the other side of the Flaming Lake, he almost sank into the loneliness of abandonment. It was my sister who stretched out her chubby little hand, grabbed him, and pulled him up. He still remembered that when Jialing got married, he just saluted his father and eldest brother who came to see him off, but he held Xiu Ran's hand and shed tears.

It is true that they were once each other's only support, but the time spent apart has long outlived the years spent together. Although Xiu Ran is still alone, Jialing has a new family and his own blood and blood, which have long become an existence that overrides the feelings of their brother and sister.

He watched coldly as his sister let his only son take his mother's surname "Feng Di", and sent Pan Luo while Xiu was sick, instructing Pan Luo to share his uncle's power...... These are all clear proofs that Jialing is no longer bound by the past years.

Xiu Dyeing, who knows this, has never thought of letting her sister get her wish!

Let Pan Luo sit in the position of the head of the Jinwu Temple and the head of the Wanyi Temple, how is this possible? If Jialing was tempered in the difficult and long years, then Xiu Dye would only be even worse than her.

As always, he showed generosity and humility to his sister and kept Panlo by his side.

That kid is stupid, but maybe it can come in handy when it matters most? After all, everyone knows that he is my only successor. If there are changes in the plan, I always need to have a way to deal with it!

Thinking of the variables, Xiu Ran couldn't sit still any longer, he got up from the table and paced to the wide window.

What upset him was the morning report just now, the shrine maiden of the Tsunade Hall of Light and Poria arrived on Sun God Island this morning, and after getting off the boat, she went straight to the mansion of Lord Hot Spring.

Poria will definitely come, which is expected by Xiu Dye.

Her husband and son died tragically, and her only daughter was her heart's content. Therefore, he proposed that Poria's daughter speak at the opening ceremony as a representative of the new students. The little girl who is bent on avenging her father and brother should succeed in playing the role of the mouthpiece of Xiu Dye.

As long as they come to the Sun God Island, the Poria Witch will definitely go to meet the Golden Leaf Witch, and the two of them are close friends of the Blood Alliance. This is another move of the dyeing - let the Poria Shrine Maiden exert influence on the Golden Leaf Shrine Maiden.

The Golden Leaf Shrine Maiden is an indispensable character in his plan, and it is also the biggest variable in the entire plan. Shuran had tried her openly and secretly, but this young hot spring hall was always able to perfunctory in her own way.

There is no rush in repairing and dyeing. Because he knew that with the identity and status of the Golden Leaf Witch, it was absolutely impossible to stay out of the matter, and she should just want to think carefully before making a statement. The daughter of the Golden Leaf Shrine Maiden is also one of the new students this year. Shuran noticed that Lord Onsen was deliberately making her daughter incognito. He understands the mother's intentions and is unwilling to involve his children when he is not sure. Therefore, he pretended not to know and betrayed her personal favor. When the overall situation has been decided, and the Lord of the Hot Spring Hall has to express his position, this can be used as a bargaining chip for negotiations.

Xiu Ran looked out the window.

The thick fog that enveloped the lake of fire was lifting, and the water was a faint blue in the gray. The projection of Mt. Myho in the distance keeps receding, indicating that today will be a brilliant sunny day, just as Shuzome had expected.

So far, everything has been going according to the plan, including the weather. But why was his heart so uneasy?

He forced himself to calm down and analyze all the information he knew.

Haimen did not hold a welcoming ceremony in accordance with etiquette. Poria went to the Golden Leaf's mansion alone without any scruples. They hadn't seen each other for two years since the great change in the night of the Bloody Eyes, but they were still so close! That's what I'm supposed to worry about!

The past cannot be traced! But at this moment, Xiu Ran couldn't help but think of Chongzi, their daughter who died just after birth, and that child.

Seventeen years ago, on the day of reincarnation, the former Lord of the Hot Spring Palace, Wind Blade Chongzi, suddenly announced his return to the Eternal Forest. The shrine maidens of the Four Islands Town Temple, who had received the secret order in advance, had already arrived at the Hot Spring Temple, and Wind Blade Chongzi had already boarded the ferry to the Crescent Moon Danger and left. The close proximity of the repair dyeing was the last to get the news.

The careful planning and sudden departure made it clear that the resentful Chongzi did not want to see Xiu Dye for the last time.

She only left two pieces of paper for repairing and dyeing.

The first is the last instruction given by Wind Blade Chongzi to the head of the Golden Crow Temple and the head of the Wanyi Temple in the capacity of the guardian of the hot spring hall and the god land - "The gods have chosen a new guardian for the god land, please Feng Di and the shrine maiden of the four islands town hall to the hot spring temple Chongyang Palace to open the sword to welcome the new year." "This piece of paper caused endless trouble for dyeing for the long years since.

The second one was handed over by her custodian Ulanda, and it was left by Chongzi to Xiu Dye. Half of a piece of letter paper torn out of nowhere, a few lines were scribbled on it - "The river of time flows away, running towards eternity and never looking back." Leaving the small and pathetic people behind, lamenting and weeping, life is short, joy and sorrow are illusory! Xiu Ran read silently, so that the few short lines of words were engraved in his heart one by one.

She never believed me...... I was alone the whole time......

Xiuran lowered his head in pain.
