Chapter XXXVIII
"Yue'er, it's okay, I don't blame you, I have no interest in this throne in the first place, as long as you're okay"
Saying that, Shangguan Baiyan wanted to step forward to comfort Yue'er, but he only heard Yue'er shouting excitedly:
"Don't come here!"
The moon wept like rain.
"Bai Yan, you hate me! I'm a ruthless person, I'm not worthy of being your wife! I'm not a good mother, you can kill me!"
Bai Yan saw that Yue'er was so excited, and he didn't dare to step forward easily, so he opened his mouth to comfort and said:
"Yue'er, what's wrong with you, I've already said it, the king of the city doesn't have the slightest interest in me. You tear the book and tear it up, there is nothing, don't be afraid. ”
When Yue'er heard this, she cried even more, and opened her mouth to shout in a hoarse roar like she tried her best:
"I listened to Qiu Niang's words!
When Bai Yan heard this, his brain 'buzzed', and suddenly, he felt as if the world was about to collapse! Is this true? At this time, Bai Yan was also a little broken, and asked in disbelief:
"Yue'er, that's not true, right?"
"That's your flesh and blood!!
As early as when he heard that Yue'er was pregnant, Bai Yan thought about what he would look like as a father countless times, and then took care of his beloved wife and used his ability to protect the family for a lifetime. However, these imminent happiness have come to naught.
"Bai Yan, you.... Kill me! Death at your hands may make you feel better!"
Seeing him like this, Shangguan Yue'er couldn't cry anymore. Although she had long known what was going to happen, when she really faced Bai Yan's heartbroken appearance, her heart was like being stabbed with a knife, which was worse than death.
Bai Yan fell to his knees on the ground, as the youngest mage in Star Dou City, he seemed so powerless for these things that had already happened. He fell to his knees and wept bitterly.
Things got to this point, Shangguan Yue'er had no face to live anymore, so she picked up the bayonet that had been prepared by her side and stabbed her neck.
I saw a golden light streak through it, and the blade fell to the ground.
"Let's go, since you can help Glory earn the throne without children, you don't need to give up yourself for this relationship!"
Bai Yan lowered his head at this time and said to Yue'er.
"Bai Yan...."
After that, Bai Yan was silent.
Shangguan Yue'er had no choice but to leave on her own, crying all the way out of Bai Yan's mansion. Leaving Bai Yan alone, he knelt there quietly. Overnight, Bai Yan didn't even shake a finger, as if it had become a piece of wood.
On the second day, Bai Yan dragged his tired body to the rest courtyard of Shangguan Hongmen.
The two sat opposite each other in the room, Bai Yan's reddish eyes looking at his father. I opened my mouth to say something, but I didn't know where to start.
When Shangguan Hongmen saw it, he sighed and said:
"Yan'er, your father already knows about it"
Bai Yan's eyes widened and he said in surprise:
"Father..... You?"
Shangguan Hongmen grabbed one of Bai Yan's hands, stroked it gently, and said with a kind of fatherly love in his eyes:
"Could it be that you and your brother have been paying attention to those things all these years, and the father has not paid attention to them?"
After all, you are the future king of the city, and the most important thing is to think about the overall situation, and you can't be slumped because of a little setback that happened to you! This time can be regarded as a test given to you by God. ”
Bai Yan's dry red eyes at this time shed tears again.
"Father, if this is just a test, the child really can't stand it!"
"The child also thought it out last night, maybe my mind is not enough, and if I stay here, I may not be able to get out of this shadow, which will affect my cultivation. I've decided on my father, and I'm going to leave Star Dou and go to other parts of the Elemental Continent! As for the throne, you might as well choose someone else. ”
Shangguan Hongmen saw that his child's eyes were so firm, and it was difficult to persuade him for a while.
"Yan'er, do you know that the choice of the future king of the city is not only the meaning of the ministers, in fact, the father is also selfish. ”
Shangguan Hongmen paused for a long time before speaking.
"I'm going to choose a good ruler who can work for the benefit of the people in the city, and your own brother Yao'er is too scheming and obviously a little inappropriate. As a father, I have always valued Yan'er and you, as the eldest brother, I can see your humility to Yao'er on weekdays. Moreover, stepping into the archmage at such a young age shows that you are more stable in your mind. On weekdays, I put aside other distractions and concentrate on my practice. ”
Shangguan Hongmen really values his eldest son the most. In addition to Bai Yan's daily excellent performance, he was also born to his most beloved woman, Jiang Sicheng.
"But what my father didn't expect was that you were hurt like this by a woman! In this case, you make a pact with your father, and your father will give you ten years. During these ten years, Father doesn't care where you go or what you do. Ten years later, you will definitely come back and inherit the King of Star Dou City. ”
After listening to Shangguan Hongmen's words, Bai Yan nodded slowly. He looked at his face that was somewhat similar to his own, but more sour than his own mature father. This father of mine, from childhood to adulthood, will satisfy himself in everything. Whatever he wants, he will arrange it as soon as possible. Whatever he wants to do, he will do his best to satisfy. He cares for himself. Now, he is willing to go out on his own, which shows that he has also made a lot of determination.
On weekdays, the supreme city lord actually has a lot of responsibility hidden in his heart. Again, the rise and fall of a city is mostly based on the leader.
Dad, when the child comes back from the trip, he will carry this mountain for you!
Shangguan Baiyan thought inwardly.
Don't forget to travel, you have to think of your family. After ten years, he will definitely return to his hometown.
In Star Dou City, in Shangguan's Glory Mansion, there are two people celebrating triumphantly at this time, except for Qiu Shuqin's mother and son, who else will these two be.
Hearing the news that Shangguan Baiyan was leaving Star Dou City, Shangguan Glory immediately held a banquet to celebrate himself. If that stinky brother of his owns leaves, it will become obvious who will be the lord of the city. Speaking of which, it is thanks to the strategy of himself and his own mother Qiu Shuzhen.
"Shangguan Baiyan? Hmph! I can play you to death with just one woman, what do you use to earn with me, it's too self-sufficient!"
Shangguan said with great glory. He picked up the wine glass in his hand and drank it all, feeling how domineering he was to be.
"Happy!"
Qiu Shuqin, who was sitting on the side, said:
"My Yao'er is extremely smart, and the position of the king of the city must belong to you. Come, mother's side to give you a drink."
Shangguan Rongrong laughed and said:
"Haha, mother, I am really a person with royal blood, what is that Bai Yan born by Jiang Sicheng, how can he compare with me. Come, this cup should be my toast to you. ”
Due to the special nature of this celebration banquet, Shangguan Rongrong did not let other subordinates be present, so as not to spread some bad news. So in addition to their mother and son, there was only Shangguan Yue'er present.
"Yue'er, you go and pour it for your brother"
Qiu Shuqin instructed Yue'er beside her to pour wine for Shangguan Glory.
Yue'er has been silent all the time, but after listening to Qiu Shuqin's words, she still set off to pour wine for Shangguan Glory.
"You filthy concubine, get out of here!"
Shangguan Rongrong pushed Yue'er away, and Yue'er fell heavily to the ground, and the wine from the wine glass spilled all over the ground.
"You still want to touch me with your dirty hands that touched Bai Yan, and you daydreamed!"
Shangguan Rongrong said viciously. And Qiu Shuqin, who was on the side, saw that her child was so angry, so she persuaded and said: "Yao'er, Yue'er is your sister after all, you don't need to be like this." ”
Shangguan Rongrong said with a calm face:
"Sister, I don't have such a filthy sister! Get out of here, I don't want to see you again!"
Yue'er had already injured her posterior coccyx just now, but she still stood up with tears in her eyes and limped out of the hall.
"Hmph, it's angry when you look at it. ”
Seeing this, Qiu Shuqin had no choice but to open her mouth and comfort:
"Okay, okay, if you really don't want to see Yue'er anymore. In the past few days, I have given her a sum of money to leave Star Dou City. Anyway, she has been with me for so many years, which can be regarded as a favor to her. ”
Today, after saying goodbye to his parents, Bai Yan left Star Dou City. Over the next few months, he traveled a lot and saw a lot of scenery. Eventually, he stayed at a place called Huayuan. Because he didn't want to be too far from home, at least stay here and get some news about Star Dou City.
When Bai Yan stepped into the Chinese Academy and successfully became a teaching assistant in the college, he lived an ordinary life in it.
It's gold, and it shines anywhere. In less than half a year, Bai Yan was valued by the college and was directly transferred to the preschool class as a tutor. Bai Yan himself likes books very much, plus in the main city of Star Dou, there are no books, so for the area of knowledge, he has become an encyclopedia.
Three years later, Bai Yan became the new preschool class teacher, that is, in that year, he and Liu Shouqing became a teacher-student relationship.
