Zhang Lingyun knew that Zhang Yi would ask this question, so he smiled and said to him, "Do you know that your mother is the princess of the empire?"

Zhang Yi stared at him in surprise. "Mother is an imperial princess! Zhang Yi really didn't expect that the gentle mother would be such a big princess of the empire.

Zhang Lingyun said a little proudly: "Shangguan is the national surname of the Huaye Empire, and your mother is called Shangguan Ruoxue is the third princess of the empire." As for why I didn't mention it to you, it's because you left home at the age of ten to practice with your grandfather. There's no need to tell you any more deliberately, is there? ”

Zhang Yi suddenly felt very proud, his father was the duke in charge of the army in the empire, and his mother was also the princess of the empire. For a moment, Zhang Yi suddenly felt that his fate was too good.

However, he asked strangely: "Since my mother is a princess, how can she be poisoned, won't she also go to find some Youlan snake fruit?"

Zhang Lingyun said with a straight face: "Of course, your mother's poison is not because she went to find the Youlan Snake Fruit, but because someone poisoned her!"

"Why does someone want to poison his mother, isn't he afraid of being exterminated by the empire?" Zhang Yi looked indignant.

Zhang Lingyun nodded and said, "He is indeed not afraid of the Nine Clans, because it was your mother's eldest brother Shangguan Hongpeng who poisoned him." However, he didn't want to poison your mother, but to poison your second uncle, Shangguan Enze. It turned out that your mother was mistakenly hit by the poison and her life hung by a thread. ”

Zhang Yi was surprised, he couldn't understand why his brother wanted to poison his younger brother, it was a brother who broke bones and still had tendons. How much hatred will make them fratricidal.

Zhang Lingyun saw Zhang Yi's question and said to him: "Since ancient times, there have been no brothers in the emperor's family. In order to obtain supreme royal power, not to mention fratricide, even the killing of biological fathers is not uncommon. At that time, the two brothers fought openly and secretly for the throne, but they accidentally injured your mother, but the battle between them has reached the final stage, and no one is willing to send people around him to find an antidote for your mother, and the old emperor is already terminally ill and unable to save your mother's life. At that time, the second prince felt that your mother felt a little guilty because of the poison in his talent, so he took out a three-thousand-year-old Qianji grass to suppress the poison for your mother. But that's only a palliative solution, and only by finding the Orchid Snake Fruit can you completely unravel the poison in your mother's body. At that time, I had been in love with your mother for many years, how could I watch your mother die like this, so I took someone to the East Swamp later. ”

Zhang Yi pretended to be mature and touched his chin.

"So that's the case, so which of them won?"

"It was your second uncle Shangguan Enze who won, although he lagged behind Shangguan Hongpeng in terms of supporters, but he can be called a generation of heroes, using himself as a bait to trick Shangguan Hongpeng into being fooled. After attracting the fighting gods around Shangguan Hongpeng, he took advantage of the weakness to enter and kill Shangguan Hongpeng in his palace. But he skillfully escaped the assassination of the fighting god and inherited the throne unharmed. ”

After listening to Zhang Lingyun, Zhang Yi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. People can kill each other for the sake of rights, and they can abandon their sister's life and safety. Is this human nature......

Zhang Lingyun saw Zhang Yi's ever-changing expression, and knew that Zhang Yi would definitely not be able to accept everything he said for a while, after all, he was only 15 years old and had never been in contact with the darkness of human nature. So he patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder and said, "Zizheng, you have to know that the most dangerous thing you encounter in the future is not necessarily because of Warcraft, but often because of humans." Because the dangers brought by Warcraft are very intuitive, if you know that you can't deal with them, you can choose to dodge. But if a person wants to cause harm to you, he will do whatever it takes to prevent you, and you can't prevent it, and you can't hide if you want to. Therefore, when going to the Sea Soul Academy this time, you must be more careful, and you can't easily trust others. Even if he is trying to help you, you have to be careful, because most of those who offer their hospitality without reason are either traitors or thieves. ”

"Oh!"

Although Zhang Yi was unwilling to accept what his father said, he knew that his father would not lie to him, and everything he said was true.

"There are only three of you who go to the Sea Soul Academy this time, I will not let any entourage protect you, and all difficulties must be overcome by yourself. As a man of the Zhang family, I believe that you will protect the two girls, right?"

Zhang Yi only replied to Zhang Lingyun with a firm nod. Zhang Lingyun also showed a satisfied smile, he suddenly remembered another question and said to Zhang Yi, "Do you like Ling'er?"

"I like it!" Zhang Yi replied crisply.

Looking at Zhang Yi's expression, Zhang Lingyun knew that there was something wrong with what he asked. So he asked, "I'm not talking about ordinary liking, but about being willing to marry her as your wife?"

Zhang Yi was stunned at first, and then a little dazed. Now although he is only 15 years old, he already knows what the liking between men and women is like, although he likes Ling'er, but that is only because they grew up together, Zhang Yi has always treated her as a sister. Whether there is a love between men and women, Zhang Yi himself is not clear.

Seeing Zhang Yi's expression, Zhang Lingyun already knew the answer, and sighed slightly. said to Zhang Yi: "I know that you haven't thought about this aspect when you are young, but I can see that Ling'er likes you very much." Ling'er is a hard-working child, and she was sold to our family so that she would not end up on the streets and become a tool for ruffians to make money. I have watched her grow up since I was a child, and I know that she is a good child with a good temperament, and your mother and I treat her as if she were our own daughter. I won't interfere with who you like, but I hope you don't hurt her, and as a man, not letting women get hurt is the bare minimum. ”

Zhang Yi didn't speak, just did it quietly, as if he was also thinking about his feelings for Ling'er.

Zhang Lingyun said: "You will be 16 years old next year, and according to the customs of the mainland, you will be an adult at the age of 16." But it looks like your bar mitzvah is going to be spent at school. Speaking of this, Zhang Lingyun got up from the chair and came to Zhang Yi, put his hands on his shoulders, looked into his eyes and said, "Zizheng, you are very good, much better than I was back then, and there is never a lot of followers around the strong. So you'll meet a lot of girls at Sea Soul Academy, and I don't ask you to like just one person. But I don't want to see you affect your future because of these things, and you have to know that one's love is limited, and the more people you give, the less everyone gets. I want you to be able to do everything wholeheartedly. Okay, that's all I have to say today, you go back and think about it, go ahead. ”

Zhang Yi nodded lightly, saying goodbye to his father, Zhang Lingyun talked to him too much today, and he really had to digest it well. Zhang Yi walked out of Zhang Lingyun's study with a heavy heart. I didn't go far before I saw Ling'er looking in his direction not far away, and when he saw himself coming out, he happily ran to his side. Seeing that Zhang Yi was in a low mood, he asked with some worry: "What's the matter, Zizheng, was reprimanded by his father again?"

If Zhang Lingyun didn't say that Ling'er liked him, he would definitely put his arms around Ling'er's shoulders without any taboo and brag about how he was doing in his father's study. But now he couldn't lift his arm. Zhang Yi secretly said in his heart: "Is it really just the love between brother and sister? How should I face Sister Ling'er......"

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but lose my mind, seeing that Zhang Yi didn't answer himself and just looked at himself there in a daze, and then thinking about Zhang Yi's abnormal behavior, Bing Xue's smart Ling'er probably guessed what Zhang Lingyun said to him. But apparently Zhang Yi hesitated or simply refused. Thinking of this, Ling'er couldn't help but have a sour nose and almost burst into tears, but she seemed to be weak, but she actually had an extremely strong personality. She knew that if she cried out now, Zhang Yi would definitely be very embarrassed, and he didn't want Zhang Yi to be reluctant to be with him because he felt sorry for himself. That's not what she wants, she wants a complete Zhang Yi both physically and mentally, he believes that through his own efforts, one day Zhang Yi will accept himself. So she couldn't hold back and didn't cry, just looked at Zhang Yi quietly on the side. She suddenly felt that this was actually quite good, just like when she was a child, and it was enough to just look at him like this.

And so it was, and the two broke the silence at the same time.

"Sister Ling'er. ”

"Zizheng. ”

Both of them were stunned, and the tacit understanding of being together for many years made them both see the answer in each other's eyes, and they couldn't help but smile at each other and chose to tacitly agree. Zhang Yi smiled and took Ling'er's hand and said, "Let's go, Sister Ling'er, let's go see my mother." ”

Ling'er responded obediently, and let Zhang Yi lead her forward. Although Ling'er was still a little bitter in her heart, she felt that she was already very happy to be held by Zhang Yi like this, and she really hoped that she could continue like this, but was it really possible? She suddenly didn't want to go to any Sea Soul Academy now......
