Tu Qitang was furious, and the Southern Holy Maiden did not intend to defend herself, maintaining her original respectful posture and not saying a word. Her silence is not a compromise, but more of a silent accusation.

Looking at her expressionless face, Tu Qitang was full of anger, if it weren't for being in the Qiuzi Palace, he would not have been able to send her directly to the Sword Mountain and the Sea of Fire, so that she could taste the taste of life worse than death, and see if she would dare to make her own decisions in the future. Unlike the Southern Holy Maiden, who regarded him as a little brother worthy of sympathy, except for the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, the people of the Xiling Sect were worthless in the eyes of Tu Qitang, and for the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, it was not because of her years of nurturing grace, but out of fear cultivated since childhood.

Fear is not respect and gratitude, if you have a choice, Tu Qitang doesn't want to let his childhood be so miserable, he would rather not practice peerless martial arts, not to ascend to the position of the leader of the Xiling Sect, let alone show people the image of Prince Xiling. But he was really unwilling, God made him suffer so much, and it was so ridiculous to tell him the truth. He has never been a person who accepts his fate, but the moment he learns the truth, he deeply feels the terrible fate, so terrible that people are powerless to resist, so he can only accept it silently.

Tu Qitang felt that his existence itself was a joke made by God, whether it was the Xiling Sect Master or Prince Xixi, the supreme power and the revered status were not what he wanted. Although he has been trapped in the mountains since he was born, and has undergone the most cruel trials in the world as the new sect leader, Tu Qitang still yearns for a warm life in the world.

The children brought by the Bright Moon Saintess to the mountain, although they are poor people who have been displaced, but they have also felt what the warmth of the world is, they have been wantonly coquettish in the arms of their parents, as a unique baby, enjoy the love and care of their families. Even if you live in a thatched hut and eat chaff vegetables, it is a treasure that some people cherish.

The children have endured the pain of being ruined and starving, and were chosen by the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon to bring them back to the Xiling Sect, seeing never-before-seen delicacies and unheard of new things, so that they gradually forgot the pain, and were glad that they still had the opportunity to enjoy all this. However, the trials that followed knocked them back to their original form, and they couldn't help the physical and mental torture, and even began to miss the days when they were free.

It turns out that the most fortunate thing is to have a home and someone to love. Short-term material comforts cannot make up for the mental trauma, and the children who die one after another take away the last glimmer of hope, and the children who remain understand that if they want to survive, they must endure all the trials. Some of them were fortunate not to stay, they would never know that more cruel trials were yet to come, and they were completely free from the suffering of the world.

Tu Qitang grew up in the trial, and the concept instilled in him by the Bright Moon Holy Maiden is that the survival of the fittest, the victory of the strong, and the defeat of the weak are the eternal truths, and the law of the jungle is the criterion of survival. He has no sympathy for those friends who left early, and those who can't accept the reality and feel sorry for themselves leave early, as for those who have survived many tests and relied on tenacious willpower, he can barely look at them a few more times.

Gradually, he communicated more and more with his friends, and he liked to hear them talk about the lives of the people, although this was forbidden by the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon. Finding comfort in memories is a manifestation of the weak, the Xiling Sect does not sympathize with the weak, for Tu Qitang, who is about to become the leader of the sect, he can't be with the weak, and he is not even allowed to have the idea of showing weakness.

However, who can not have memories? No memories can only mean that there is no happiness worth remembering, such as Tuqitang! Tu Qitang is a person who has no memories, the past is an experience he can't wait to get rid of, so he sped up and ran forward, how could he be willing to turn back.

Every night, in the corner where the Bright Moon Saintess can't see, in a place where there is no eyeliner to watch, the few friends who stay like to get together to reminisce about their childhood. The leaky house, the cooked meals are full of joy, the little wooden horse carefully built by my father, and the new clothes sewn by my mother who stayed up all night are the best memories. There are also brothers and sisters who don't know where they are now, and the once hateful and hateful little village tyrants have become people they miss deeply.

Tu Qitang likes to hear them say this, these are things he has never heard of, simple, pure, simple and warm, the little friends who have experienced these things, they are the real people. And he is just a tool, he is not qualified to have the tool of joy, anger and sorrow, and he can never disobey the tool of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden.

The first person to discover that Tu Qitang was eavesdropping was Nan Shengnu, who at that time was still a little girl with an uncertain future and unpredictable life and death, a poor girl who had lost her parents and brothers. Before going up the mountain, she had never been exposed to martial arts, and she didn't know how to pass the test, but she still persevered, with the belief of living, she wanted to live to find her lost brother and fulfill her parents' deathbed wishes. With this belief, she survived, and when she saw Tu Qitang for the first time, she was attracted by those indifferent gray eyes, which were clearly a young child, and his indifference was really palpitating.

But she was still attracted by those eyes, those beautiful eyes were very similar to her younger brother, and the younger brother's eyes in her memory were innocent and flawless, and she didn't know if she was as indifferent as him after tasting the warmth and coldness. Seeing that Tu Qitang liked to listen to them talk about family life, but he didn't want to be discovered, Nan Shengnu wrote down every funny thing that his friends had said, and when he came, she deliberately mentioned it to him.

The memories that Tu Qitang has are from the Southern Saintess, and he is not ungrateful for this girl with warm eyes. His stealth skills are not very strong, but he has not been discovered once, and the Southern Saintess seems to know his thoughts, and she has not told anyone about discovering him.

Tu Qitang did not pass the trial and was punished by the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, he always suffered silently alone, he didn't dare to cry, because the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon warned him that crying was a sign of cowardice. But in Nan Shengnu's opinion, crying is the manifestation of a normal person, whenever Tu Qitang is sad, no matter where he hides, she will find him, talk to him, cry and laugh with him.

Perhaps it was from that time that Tu Qitang no longer resisted the trial, and he made a promise with the Southern Holy Maiden that he would ascend to the altar in the future and become a person of public attention in the Xiling Sect. Nan Shengnu didn't dare to call him junior brother, because she knew that he was the future sect leader, and Tu Qitang didn't call her sister because he didn't want to cause her trouble.

In the Xiling Sect, the only person who made Tu Qitang feel kind was the Southern Holy Maiden, he had thought that when he became the sect leader and the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon no longer controlled them, he must be kind to the Southern Holy Maiden, after all, she made him understand that there is warmth between people.

Providence is irreversible, he is not qualified to have such a thing as warmth in the first place, and the stolen warmth must be repaid. Not long after becoming the sect leader, by chance, he discovered a shocking secret. This secret hit him far beyond all previous tests, and he would rather live in a sea of swords and fires all day than believe that the secret was the truth.

Since then, Tu Qitang's temperament has changed greatly, becoming moody and unapproachable, and even the warmth he cherishes has been abandoned, and an order has been given to send the Southern Saint Girl Platoon to Qiuzi. Although this was the instruction of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, he also thought so in his heart.

He doesn't need ridiculous affection, the warmth he believes in simply doesn't exist, and he himself is the best proof of that. Except for the Bright Moon Holy Maiden, no one knew this secret, Tu Qitang had no way to face her again, and staying in the Xiling Sect for more than a second would be tantamount to Ling Chi.

So, he chose to leave, announcing to the public that the Xiling Sect Master had died violently. If his existence is ridiculous in itself, let him disappear completely. He could not care about the suffering he had suffered, but he really didn't have the courage to continue.

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue did not stop her, maybe she had long expected that there would be this day, Tu Qitang was the sect leader she had worked so hard to cultivate, and she did not hesitate to treat him in the most cruel way. But after the secret was discovered, she didn't even have the qualifications to stop him, and could only accept the reality of losing the sect leader again. The Bright Moon Holy Maiden agreed to him leaving the Xiling Sect, which did not mean that she would give up, even if she was too cruel to him, she could not lose him.

After the violent death of the sect leader, the shrewd, wise, handsome and unparalleled Prince of Rest appeared in front of the world, as the Prince of Rest, Tu Qitang finally lived a normal life, and the king trusted his abilities and promised him to inherit the throne in the future. The people worshipped his position, and word of mouth prophesied that he would be a wise king.

Tu Qitang has endured extreme pain, and he has accepted the identity of Prince of Rest and is willing to live with this identity. At this point, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon had nothing else to ask for, and she led the Xiling Sect to fully cooperate with his actions, paving a smooth road for his future.

The Southern Saintess doesn't know why Tu Qitang became like this, and maybe she will never know the secret that changed Tu Qitang's fate. A clear fingerprint appeared on her right cheek, and she lowered her head without any explanation, even if Tu Qitang killed her on the spot, she would not blink an eye.

The flute in her hand is a little mottled, but it has also brought joy and comfort to her lonely friends, including Tu Qitang.

Tu Qitang saw the scars on her face and the flute, and his anger quietly dissipated, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you know that you are wrong to ignore the instructions and act rashly?" ”

The Southern Holy Maiden raised her eyes to look at him, and her jade eyes faintly fluctuated: "If it is wrong to protect the sect leader, the subordinates are willing to make mistakes again and again." ”

"Protection? Who do you think you are, and I need you for protection? Hmph, don't do it! Tu Qitang sneered disdainfully, "Don't think that if I respect you for three points, you can ignore my instructions, who allowed you to target the Han princess and let everyone take the elixir in front of her?" Isn't it much better to be a shrine maiden than a saint, and you're going to be a traitor too? ”

These words were obviously a threat, and the Southern Saintess smiled indifferently and said, "Sect Master, when did you become so amorous, what does it matter to you whether the princess of Dahan is good or bad?" She's a potential threat, can't you see if she's as shrewd? Sooner or later, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon will give instructions, I just act in advance! And you disregard your identity and openly defend her, if the Bright Moon Holy Maiden knows, what do you think she will do? ”

The Southern Saintess knew that there was a mistake and did not repent, but she actually poked him in the sore spot, Tu Qitang's eyes were extremely angry, and he grabbed the skirt of the Southern Saint's clothes, dragged her to the front, gritted her teeth and said: "Don't mention that woman in front of me, otherwise, don't blame me for ignoring the past." ”

"There's a problem between you." The Southern Holy Maiden smiled sadly, "Sect Master, what secrets do you have with the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon?" How did you end up like this? ”

Tu Qitang gritted his teeth, raised his hand but couldn't fight, and angrily left her: "Remember, this is your last chance, if you dare to ask me about her again, I will cut you off with my own hands." ”

"You go, without my instructions, don't touch a single hair of the Han princess." Tu Qitang warned her, and unconsciously added, "I have my plan, you don't need to know, if you talk too much in front of that woman, I will kill all your people." ”

"There is no need for the sect leader to intimidate, and the subordinates have no intention of informing, I hope the sect leader remembers, if the heart is in chaos, please keep your heart!" Nan Shengnu got up calmly, walked a few steps away, and said without looking back, "Do you remember the feeling of happiness?" ”

Tu Qitang pursed his lips and looked at her back, unable to speak.
