Chapter Ninety-Seven: Choices and Weaknesses
I heard Yanxiong continue: "In the early years, I once fell in love with a woman in Qinglou. As for who it is, I won't mention it, anyway, there was Yanqing later. When she was born, her mother died in childbirth, so I have been neglecting her all along. I also know that she has been with your Long family over the years, but I still can't be ruthless about her!"
"Lord Guogong invited me here, I don't think it's to tell me this, right?" Long Haotian smiled.
"That's right, it's for the wilderness. ”
"Seventh Prince, what's wrong with him? Isn't the poison on his body unsolved?"
"Alas, that's right, the poison of the Golden Bird Tower is very strange, and the symptoms of the poisoned people are almost no different. However, if you don't know what the poison is and use the antidote indiscriminately, it is very likely to lead to retrograde blood and qi, and in severe cases, the sea of qi will be damaged and your life will be in danger. I didn't believe it before, but now I have to!"
Yan Xiong was a little choked up when he said this. Long Haotian still didn't answer, and continued to listen to Yanxiong.
"Last night, I went to the Golden Bird House and asked them for an antidote. However, Yan Qing's aunt said that if you want an antidote, you need to exchange your life!"
"My life?" Long Haotian finally spoke, "I didn't expect my Long Haotian's life to be so valuable right now! But it's no wonder, I killed their aunt's subordinates, and they naturally hate me to the bone!"
"What the hell is going on with you killing Mu Tingcheng's subordinates?" Yan Xiong frowned, as if he somewhat understood why Mu Tingcheng had such a tough attitude and wanted to let Long Haotian exchange his life for his life.
"It turns out that Yanqing's aunt is called Mu Qingcheng. Long Haotian did not hide it, told the story of the incident as it was, and finally said, "This is the whole story." Lord Guogong, it is true that the origin of this matter lies with me. ”
Indeed, the reason why Yan Qing was poisoned was because he was beaten by Long Haotian, which seemed to have no flaws. But Long Haotian said it first, and instantly became a scolding you Yanxiong goddaughter for having no way.
Sure enough, I heard Yan Xiong's low voice say, "No, Yan Qing's fault is even greater!"
"No matter who is at fault, there are two paths in front of us right now," Long Hao Tiandao, "The first one, exchange my life for the antidote, so that the cultivation of the Seventh Prince can also be restored." But I'm afraid there won't be anyone who can fight for him.
"The second one, leave it alone. However, with such an ending, I am afraid that the seventh prince will naturally become a wasted person. When the time comes, I will still inevitably enter the night ghost city, and the Heroes will have no one to go to. This will have a serious impact on the Yan family's title. Am I right?"
Yan Xiong fell silent, and Long Haotian's words pierced his heart like a knife. At the same time, he could also feel Yan Xiong's inner struggle, and this struggle was becoming stronger with his rise.
The reality is so cruel.
For a wealthy family, especially a wealthy family with a knighthood, the demotion of the knighthood means the loss of thousands of military power, which means that the dominance of a region is reduced, and it is very likely to be eaten up by the small forces that rise around it, as well as the forces within the same city.
Therefore, as the head of the family, Yanxiong will never sit idly by and watch the demotion happen.
Yan Huang was originally his safeguard, so even if he was highly poisonous at the beginning, Yan Xiong never considered giving up on him. He was even determined to cultivate Long Haotian as a replacement and enter the night ghost city. After all, right now, although the Marquis of Qingling and the Marquis of Lieyun were both dissatisfied with the Marquis of Youhuang, they both chose to obey. Therefore, he Yanxiong can only choose to forbear for the time being.
But now, Long Haotian killed A Luo, Mu Qingcheng put down his words again, and the antidote has almost become an extravagant hope. Without an antidote, Yan Huang is a wasted person, how can a wasted person fight for the title of the family? And what caused all this was his own impulsive fate more than ten years ago.
The bitter fruit of one's own sowing must be swallowed by oneself.
Among the two paths given by Long Haotian, the first one Yanxiong would not choose to die.
He knew the methods of the Golden Bird Tower very well, and the decisive tone when Mu Chengcheng spoke was always in his mind. He was never 100% sure, what he exchanged for Long Haotian's life was the antidote. There have been many precedents for this, and it is nominally an antidote, but in fact it contains another poison.
For an uncertain result to kill Long Haotian, Yanxiong couldn't do it. What's more, the talent shown by Long Haotian today even surpasses that of Yan Huang.
And for this talent, Yan Xiong even secretly made a determination: that is, even if he tore his face with Youyue, he would protect Long Haotian and turn him into the heir of the Yan family completely.
Although it is risky to do so, the Qingling Hou and the Lieyun Hou, who are in a state of forbearance and wait-and-see, will definitely be touched, and the two of them will most likely be on their side at that time. The three families join forces, why are you afraid of the Ghost Phoenix Marquis?
And now, almost everyone in Longque City knows that Long Haotian is Yan Hao, the eighth son of the Yan family. And as long as he is gracious and powerful, promises to be rewarded with resources, and treats Mrs. Long and Ling'er well, Yan Xiong is confident that Long Haotian will never have a reason to refuse to become the eighth son of the Yan family, not to mention that he does have some blood of the Yan family flowing in his body.
Of course, there are still hidden dangers, such as the Cheng family.
It's okay to deceive ordinary people with this set of statements about Long Haotian's identity, but Mrs. Long and Cheng Yun's mother are sisters, and they must know the truth. And now that the Yan family and the Cheng family have completely torn their faces, Yan Xiong is very worried that they will bite the truth to death at that time.
Eventually, Yan Xiong spoke his mind.
Long Haotian was not surprised by these words, and it was not difficult to guess more than half of them with his wisdom. And Yan Xiong's proposal to officially become the heir of the Yan family is actually very tempting for him.
What he lacked most at the moment was resources and a good cultivation environment.
Go to the night ghost city, the future is uncertain, and I don't know what bad luck will become. Although a warrior should not be afraid of hardships and dangers, it is really not appropriate to do such a risky thing when he is still in his fledgling.
Staying in Yanfu, firstly, he could fulfill his promise to Long Qing and take good care of Lady Long and Ling'er, and secondly, he could cultivate with peace of mind.
At the same time, having the backer of the Yan family can indeed avoid many unprovoked things. And maybe when it comes to the Heroes Club, he will become famous in a fight, and then enter the Martial God Temple for further study.
Of course, the risk of leaving behind is also very high.
The biggest risk is that Yan Xiong disobeys Youyue's order to recruit relatives, which will directly offend the Marquis of Youhuang, and may even anger the King of Thousand Flames. Inevitably, there will be a war.
But for Long Haotian, what is the difference between this danger and becoming a hostage of the Marquis of Youhuang? Just as Yan Xiong said, when the time comes, maybe the Marquis of Qingling and the Marquis of Lieyun will also respond to him, and the three families will join forces to ensure that even the King of Thousand Flames will be afraid of three points.
So after weighing it again, choosing to stay is indeed the best choice.
However, people have weaknesses. Once a weakness is caught by others, or condemned by one's own conscience, it will become a knot in the heart, and if the knot cannot be untied, it will greatly hinder the practice.
Long Haotian's weakness is to attach importance to affection.
When he was in prison, Yan Huang came to visit the prison regardless of the disparity in status, and even his own life was still alive because Yan Huang drank the poisonous wine one step ahead of him. The so-called Li Dai Taostiff is nothing more than this.
Landing as brothers, why bother with flesh and blood.
For such a brother, if he sits idly by and allows him to become a wasted man from the pride of the sky, Long Haotian will be greatly condemned by his own conscience. He could have foreseen that this condemnation would become the biggest obstacle to his spiritual path, and even a knot in his heart.
"Haotian," Yanxiong asked, "have you thought about it?"
"Lord Guogong," Long Haotian replied earnestly, "I want to see Mu Chengcheng first!"
