Chapter 34: A Gentleman's Friend
readx;? Seeing Ji Yuan speak, Lu Yifan's originally calm eyes moved suddenly, and then a relieved smile flashed the corners of his mouth, sure enough, if he treats people with sincerity, then the other party must also be sincere. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Lu Yifan poured two cups of hot tea, and then sat opposite Ji Yuan, the faint candle flame on the table gently swayed and danced, and the occasional faint "zizi" sound added a touch of peace to the silence of this dawn!
"Her name is Ji Yi'er, and she is my sister!" Ji Yuan said slowly, but when he spoke, his eyes did not look at Lu Yifan's eyes, but always stared at the candle flame on the table, as if through this dim firelight, Ji Yuan could see all kinds of past events that had happened, "Yi'er and I were born in the northern part of the Holy Continent in the "Zhuo Wolf Grassland" My father, Ji Lie, was the leader of the eighteen tribes of the Zhuowolf Grassland, and he was also the most majestic and mighty man on the grassland, while my mother Zhuoma was the most beautiful woman on the grassland. At that time, my sister and I would herd sheep and horses in the endless grassland every day, while my mother would prepare delicious dishes for us before dusk, and in the evenings our family would sit around the campfire in front of the yurt and talk and laugh......
When Ji Yuan said this, his eyes that were staring at the candle flame had become red, and Lu Yifan always looked at Ji Yuan who was stuck in his memories and didn't say a word.
"The color of that bonfire is like a candle flame at this moment, but it is more intense and fervent than this candle flame!" Ji Yuan said faintly, At that time, on every important day, the people of the eighteen tribes would gather together and hold a grand bonfire party on the grassland, and a group of people would sing and dance around the bonfire, at that time, Yi'er was always running around excitedly, and my mother always gave me the task of taking care of my sister, that girl was naughty, and very naughty, every time she would deliberately hide in someone else's yurt to prevent me from finding it, and I was forced to run around to find her away from the lively bonfire and delicious food......"
Ji Yuan's words said this, and he suddenly smiled, laughing so kindly, laughing so really, this kind of smile has not appeared on his face for a long, long time, but with the slightly raised corners of Ji Yuan's mouth, two lines of hot tears slipped down quietly and silently at some point.
"Yi'er is very good at being coquettish, every time I can make me happy, my father loves Yi'er as a little princess, and never wants her to do any heavy work, and I am not so lucky, I have to get up and practice with my father every morning......" Ji Yuan smiled, "My father is very powerful, I have ever seen the most powerful person, at that time, thousands of herdsmen from the eighteen tribes of the Zhuo Wolf Grassland, all of them supported and loved him." At that time, my mother also tried to teach me that when I grow up, I must be a man like my father!"
Ji Yuan's words made Lu Yifan couldn't help but be moved, and he secretly sighed in his heart what a warm home this is!
"Life on the steppe is not like here, there are not so many people on the steppe, there are not so many fights, everyone lives in harmony, our life is very simple and happy, horse racing, wrestling, shepherding ...... Even if there is an occasional fight, my father will solve it well!"
"Hearing you say that, I really feel that your life is carefree!" Lu Yifan smiled softly.
"It's a pity that God doesn't let us live carefree and happy like this!" Ji Yuan's words suddenly changed, and his originally gentle tone instantly became cold, "One night seven years ago, the beautiful days on the Zhuo Wolf Grassland are over!"
Ji Yuan's words made Lu Yifan's brows furrow suddenly, he knew that what Ji Yuan was going to say next was Ji Yuan's real hidden pain!
"On that night seven years ago, in the Beast Domain located in the north of the Sacred Domain Continent, a group of brutal orcs actually forcibly rushed through the Ten Thousand Miles Ice Plain that separated the two domains, and suddenly appeared on the Zhuo Wolf Grassland!"
"Beast Domain?" Lu Yifan said suspiciously, "You mean that the people of the Beast Clan trespassed into the Sacred Domain without permission?"
"Yes, I will never forget the murderous faces of those orcs to this day!" Ji Yuan said through gritted teeth, "No one knows how those orcs came to be, and they didn't even notice it in advance, they suddenly appeared in front of us as if they fell from the sky!"
"Suddenly appeared?" Ji Yuan's words made Lu Yifan stunned, as far as he knew, there would definitely be a holy domain army stationed at the border of the holy domain, the purpose was to prevent other clans from attacking, "The orcs went deep into the Zhuo Wolf Grassland, and they didn't even have the slightest warning in advance, which is too ......"
"If you take precautions in advance, how can the eighteen tribes of my grassland be reduced to the point of being slaughtered by others!" Before Lu Yifan finished speaking, Ji Yuan shouted coldly, and looking at his slightly trembling body, it was obvious that Ji Yuan must be very excited in his heart at this moment!
"Let someone slaughter!" Lu Yifan's heart shook again.
"Yes, while we were all asleep, the orcs suddenly broke into our tribe, they killed people and set fires, and in an instant they scattered our eighteen tribes, and many of them died before they even had time to open their eyes, and I heard countless cries and screams that night, and I will never forget that miserable cry for the rest of my life......"
"Smack!"
Suddenly, the teacup in Ji Yuan's hand was smashed by him, which was enough to show how angry he was at the moment.
"There is no reason! There is no explanation! There is nothing!" Ji Yuan said word by word, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a cruel smile, "This is really the answer to that sentence, we didn't even know how we died that night!"
Although Lu Yifan had many doubts in his heart, he knew that this was not a good time to ask, so Lu Yifan was still silent and listened quietly.
"The women and children are scattering for their lives, while the men who are still alive are hurriedly taking up arms to resist, and everyone is in ......a panic," Kirihara continued, "My father is the leader of the Eighteen Tribes, and he leads the men of the tribe to the front line, and he will not retreat!"
Between the lines of Ji Yuan's words, Lu Yifan could deeply feel that Ji Yuan's father must have been a complete hero at that time.
"When we were leaving, my father handed me his wolf head stick and the scroll of the divine product exercises in a hurry, and told me that if anything happened to him, I, as the son of the leader, must work hard to cultivate and try to revive the eighteen tribes of Zhuo Wolf in the future! Then my mother returned to the battle with tears in her eyes. I know, she's going to find her father!" Ji Yuan's words came here, laughing with tears and revealing endless pain, "Mother once told me that she loves her father very much, and she will never leave her father no matter whether she lives or dies, and that night, she proved it with practical actions!"
Seeing Ji Yuan crying and laughing, Lu Yifan also felt as if his heart was blocked by something, and suppressed an indescribable discomfort.
"It's a pity that those orcs are very strong, and the orcs at the head are even stronger than my father, and my father can't resist their pursuit at all, and there are many orcs who cruelly chase and kill us, old and weak, women ......and children, like cats and mice, playing with us to their heart's content, laughing in our panic!" Washed away......"
"So you've been looking for your sister all these years!" Lu Yifan replied, "Until you saw a person who looked very similar to your sister in the Moon Tower, Han Ling'er?"
"That's good!" Ji Yuan nodded and said, "Although seven years have passed, Yi'er's appearance has always been deeply engraved in my heart, and it is not blurred at all!
"There are no wonders in the world, and it's normal for people to be similar!" Lu Yifan said with a smile.
"Yes, even though I already know that Miss Han is not Yi'er, I still can't help but imagine her as Yi'er......"
"That's because you miss your sister so much!" Lu Yifan said softly, "Han Ling'er's appearance is very similar to Yi'er, and strong thoughts will make you so blind!"
"Alas!" Speaking of this, Ji Yuan couldn't help but sigh lightly, "That's why I couldn't help but go to the Han Mansion to find Miss Han yesterday!"
"What about your divine exercises?" Lu Yifan suddenly asked, "Was it passed on to you by your father?"
"En!" Ji Yuan nodded and said, "When I saw the handwriting appearing on the originally empty Divine Rank Exercise scroll, I knew ...... My father has been killed......"
The Divine Skill is the same as the Soul Punishment, only one person can be allowed to practice at a time, and only when this person dies will the Exercise return to the scroll, Lu Yifan has already known this matter from impermanence!
"Then you participated in the Heavenly Grace Contest to try to revive the tribe?"
"Yes, I want to ask Heaven to restore the ruined Zhuo Wolf Grassland to its original appearance, so that I can recall the people of the year again!" Ji Yuan nodded and said, "Since that night seven years ago, the Zhuo Wolf Grassland has been burned by that group of orcs, not only that, they don't know what method they used, so that the burned grassland can no longer grow new grass, and over time, the former grassland has now become a desert!"
"Hiss!" Ji Yuan's words made Lu Yifan frown, "Killing relatives and destroying people's homes should be punished!"
"I've always wanted to find out about this and find out the culprit for revenge, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that I don't have enough skills!" Ji Yuan said viciously, and there was an indescribable hatred in his words.
"Of course you don't have enough ability alone!" Lu Yifan said in a condensed voice, "If you treat me as a friend, I am willing to help you find out this matter together!"
"Can you help me?" Obviously, Lu Yifan's words surprised Ji Yuan for a while.
"Friend, isn't it just to help when you are in trouble?" Lu Yifan laughed loudly, "Could it be that you still think that I will covet you and do something?"
"But ......" Ji Yuan obviously hadn't figured out what Lu Yifan meant, "Why are you helping me?"
"This ......" Lu Yifan thought about it for a while, before he laughed loudly, "If there must be a reason, then it should be regarded as you helping me get the reward of heaven's grace! However, with your current ability, I am far from qualified, so it is better to live in Lu Mansion temporarily than for you to continue to wander all over the world! My father is the Duke of Wending of the Holy Domain, and it must be much more useful to have him to help send someone to find your sister than to look for it aimlessly by yourself!" You and I are the same age, and I also began to cultivate soul power after Heavenly Grace, and you and I can also learn from each other together, so we may be able to cultivate faster! Just as your father said on his deathbed, you must work hard to cultivate, only when your own strength becomes stronger, can you have the ability to revive the Eighteen Tribes of Zhuo Wolf! And Uncle Han once told me that the best way to quickly improve your cultivation is to find a mentor who is willing to teach you, and I will go to the Holy Soul Academy in a few days, and you and I will definitely be good for your cultivation!"
Lu Yifan's words made Ji Yuan's eyes move suddenly, obviously he was already moved by Lu Yifan's suggestion. Indeed, if Lu Haoqian helps, then the matter of finding Ji Yi'er will be much easier!
"What's more......" Lu Yifan couldn't help but smile weirdly when he said this, "Aren't you curious about who wants to put you to death in this Jinling City?
"Lu Yifan, you ...... Why are you so kind to me?" asked Ji Yuan with a flushed face.
"Because I treat you as a friend!" Lu Yifan said with a light smile, "There are not many people who can be called friends by me, Lu Jun, Wencai, and Ling'er are just that, but for the few friends I have, each of them is worthy of my life to protect, because only in this way will my friends protect me with the same life! This is what my father taught me!" At the end of speaking, Lu Yifan smiled kindly at Ji Yuan.
"I think I know why it looks like Miss Han is fierce to you, but the reason why she cares so much about you on the day of the final!" Ji Yuan suddenly smiled, "Friend, can I also have friends?" Ji Yuan said and then looked down at the ragged clothes and broken shoes that still showed his toes!
"Now that I treat you as a friend, are you willing to treat me as a friend?" Lu Yifan stared at Ji Yuan's expression and asked in a condensed voice.
Lu Yifan's words made Ji Yuan raise his head suddenly, and then several rays of light surged out of his flickering eyes.
"If I didn't treat you as a friend, how could I tell you so many secrets about me?" Ji Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I just hope you can keep these things secret for me!"
"A gentleman's word, a quick horse!" Lu Yifan laughed heartily.
"And ......" Ji Yuan looked at himself self-deprecatingly, and then said with a wry smile, "This friend of mine is a completely poor person, not a rich man!"
"Haha...... From today onwards, everything you Ji Yuan spent will be counted as my Lu Yifan!" Lu Yifan laughed loudly, "As long as I have a bite to eat, I will never let you go hungry again! Similarly, as long as I am alive, I will never let people force you to kill you to such a field again!"
Lu Yifan's words made Ji Yuan's heart suddenly feel a heartfelt warmth.
"And from today onwards, you are no longer poor!" Lu Yifan suddenly got up and walked to the cabinet, and then slowly took out a black package from the cabinet, "This thing should have been yours, and today I will return it to its original owner!
Ji Yuan took the package from Lu Yifan's hand in surprise, looked at Lu Yifan with a puzzled look, and then under Lu Yifan's affirmative gaze, Ji Yuan slowly opened the package, and the contents of the package made Ji Yuan's already shaking heart completely stiffen there!
Inside the package, a golden silk jade belt engraved with the pattern of nine wolves emerged!
This is the Zhuo Wolf Jade Belt that Lu Yifan bought with millions of silver shells that day!
In this situation, Ji Yuan's eyes turned red again. Somehow, he felt more and more that escaping into the Lu Mansion when he was desperate this time was exactly the best arrangement as fate would have been!
And it was this hasty move to save his life that would completely change his future fate from now on!
At this moment, the sun rises in the east, and the sun of the new day has unconsciously hung in the sky, and the light of the sun has gradually replaced the dimness of the candle flame, illuminating the whole room!
