In the year 487 of the Eltino calendar, Reyns

As the heir of the white character family, Bai Wuji had a rather colorful childhood. Before the age of four, he grew up under the grass, and his pleasing appearance made a lot of palace maids and noblewomen love and pamper, and before he could walk, he hung many gold medals and gold rings presented by officials and wives all day long, and envied many childless Reyns nobles under his knees. Although he could not inherit the throne of Reins, the ministers in the court still liked this delicate and intelligent little prince, especially when other children were still babbling, he was already able to recognize numbers, showing his extraordinary talent, and making the ministers look forward to the future of Reins.

The beautiful and wise mother, although busy with official duties, would spare the evening time every day to play with her son, and the father, who loved fishing, often did not return for many days because he went out to sea to fish, but every time he returned to the palace, he would definitely remember to bring some beautiful shells and pearls as toys for his son.

For Bai Wuji at this time, the world is beautiful, he is surrounded by happiness, and the future is infinitely bright.

Of course, at this time, he didn't know that he had a brother who was two years older and lived alone in the Susheng Tank at the headquarters of the Alcatraz Taiyan Academy, living a dark life for people to watch......

When he was six years old, his father promised to take him out fishing. Sitting on his father's shoulder, he looked up excitedly to see when the fishing rod he had brought with him would come in handy.

When the destination arrived, the fishing rod and bait did not come in handy, but my father sent a bigger fish: the inheritance of the Satobai family. On Xixi Kejia Island, in front of many children of the Bai family, after several years of observation and consideration, the Bai Junhuang officially announced that his son would become his heir.

It was also from this day that his father was no longer just a father, Bai Wuji began to feel the name of the word "White Army Emperor", as the head of the family, the domineering and leader charm, all of them bloomed brightly after stepping on Alcatraz Island, when he personally went to the Demon Cave, slaughtered monsters of all sizes in it, and showed his amazing power, Bai Wuji was deeply impressed, it turned out that his father was such a great character.

Since his son was declared the heir of the family, the Bai Junhuang also began to teach the Bai family's six arts, but Bai Wuji's martial arts qualifications were not as good as his literary talent and arithmetic talents.

This was naturally a setback for Bai Junhuang, who demanded perfection in everything, but when Bai Wuji thought that he would be punished for this, his father just patted him on the head and smiled.

"I'm a martial arts genius like no other in a hundred lifetimes, and it's not surprising that you're excellent, but you're not as good as me. People can't be strong in everything, and practicing martial arts is not the only way out, as long as you don't achieve nothing. ”

And because of the business talent he showed, the White Army Emperor focused on cultivating in this regard, and did not push too the progress of martial arts.

On the one hand, Bai Wuji felt happy, but on the other hand, he was puzzled, because this kind of practice was not in line with his father's personality, and the answer to this doubt was a sentence that his mother inadvertently blurted out.

"People have to suffer setbacks to know that the world can't be forced, you are very lucky, your father has suffered losses before, and knows how to restrain the transitional expectations for his children, it is all thanks to your eldest brother......"

When Bai Wuji heard this, he was only extremely shocked. Does "big brother" mean that he has siblings, and why haven't he heard of it before, nor have he seen it since he came to Alcatraz?

When he asked his mother about this question, she just shook her head and said nothing, and when he asked his father about it, his face sank and he immediately walked away in anger. That night, my father and mother had a heated argument, and although I didn't know why, I could still hear something from the conversation.

The father was extremely unhappy with his mother's leaks, believing that she should not bring it up again, and the mother was also angry with his father's treatment of "the child"

way, extremely disapproving, feeling that this is a loss of fatherly responsibility.

"Father? What kind of joke is this? I only have one child, Wuji, how can that kind of failed test subject be considered my offspring? ”

"Why not? Although it is made, Qi'er is still your flesh and blood, I was conceived for ten months, and I gave birth to him with hard work, no matter which part of it, he is our child, I don't understand why you reject him like this? At least, you should also give him a chance, he respects you very much, and hopes that you can treat him as a real ......."

"That's enough, it's not that I haven't given him a chance, it's that he can't grasp it himself. I asked him to practice martial arts, and after practicing for a few years, he couldn't even practice the most superficial part of the Yuan Gong, and he would have achieved better results than him if he found a dog to practice; if he learned magic, he was born with that kind of physique; if you hadn't insisted on keeping him, I would have killed him with one palm. ”

"Can you understand the child's feelings, too? He respects you so much and wants to get your ......."

"Anything other than human beings is not qualified to talk about hearts. It's basically a work made by the Ancient Demon Dao, what's the intention? Don't go to see him secretly in the future, that place is not very safe, and it is dangerous for outsiders to enter casually. ”

"You can't control this, who told you not to take him back to Reyns, I have to come and see for myself, you don't think you are a father, I have never given up my responsibility as a mother. ”

In Bai Wuji's impression, his father and mother were both highly intelligent people, and there was almost nothing to settle with a verbal dispute, but that night, the two did quarrel unhappily.

Later, Bai Wuji paid attention to his mother's actions, and not long after, he found that his mother was going out alone at night, and Bai Wuji, who knew his mother's destination, secretly followed behind, and after winding around the corridor, he arrived at the forbidden area that only senior researchers could enter, and entered the innermost research room.

"Mom, I'm so glad you're here again, do you want to sing to me today?"

"Yes, you listen to your mother, good girl, she will come to see you whenever she has a way. ”

The conversation inside made Bai Wuji outside frown. Although I had guessed beforehand what my eldest brother looked like, but listening to this voice, it was innocent, and it was difficult to accept that it was my younger brother, how could it be my brother?

There was a soft singing voice in the room, Bai Wuji never knew that his mother's singing voice was so moving, he could understand the four languages, but he couldn't recognize the dialect of this song, he only felt comfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but peek through the door, only to see a thin child, only wrapped in a towel, sitting on his mother's lap.

The mother gently hugged him, touched his hair that had been exposed to radiation for a long time, and sang an unknown song softly, it was such a concern and pity that anyone who saw it would know that she put her whole heart on the child in her arms, prayed for him, worried, and poured every trace of maternal love into him without reservation.

Seeing such an expression, Bai Wuji felt a burst of jealousy, because his mother had always shown such an expression when she treated herself, and her performance was so outstanding, why would her mother like this child more?

"How's your day?"

"It's okay...... Sometimes I was constantly being watched by my uncle and aunt outside in the sink, and I suddenly became angry, but when I thought about what my mother taught me, I quieted down. ”

"Well, good, I remember what Mom told you. When you feel uncomfortable, you treat it as if you're playing a game, and the uncles and aunts outside are playing a game with Qi'er, a game called an observation experiment, and as long as you play with them, you're ...... Only...... Mom will find an opportunity to sing with you. ”

"It's great to be able to listen to Mom's songs! Mom, if I have a good time, can I leave here and go outside? I want to see my dad and my brother again, I've never seen him before......"

Hearing this, Bai Wuji's heart was shocked, and he looked inside again, only to see his mother hugging the child, her shoulders moving slightly, as if she was choking.

"Mom, Mom, why are you crying? Did I upset Mommy?"

"No, it's not. Wake up, you're obedient, mom will find a way, as long as there is a chance, she will take you out, now you stay here first, obediently play games with your uncle and aunt, okay?"

"Well, good. ”

Looking at the scene in the room, Bai Wuji still couldn't figure it out, it was true that he was far smarter and older than children of the same age, but it was still impossible to guess the cause and effect of the whole thing. It's just that seeing his mother so sad, he wants to try to help a little, no matter what, the person in it is his own...... Brother.

The next day, Bai Wuji came to his father and offered to ask for a gift. Hearing that his son was asking for a reward without meritorious service, the White Emperor frowned, but when he heard the contents of the gift clearly, after a little muttering, he laughed and agreed.

"Okay, interesting, worthy of the blood of my Bai family, worthy of being the son of my White Army Emperor!"

Bai Wuji's request is simple. From his father's words, it seemed impossible to directly ask for his release, but the Bai family seemed to be very interested in such a thing as blood fights, so when he said that he wanted to take the imprisoned child as a slave, Bai Junhuang agreed, which he found interesting.

Queen Nida didn't seem to approve of this, but she didn't vehemently object to the thought that her son could finally leave the lab and live in the outside world. When she had to leave for Reyns after a long absence, she was full of anxiety and told her son to treat his brother well and live in harmony with each other.

(Brother, where does that retarded thing look like my relative?...... It's not like the Bai family at all!)

After doing what he felt he should do, Bai Wuji was still puzzled by his choice, he had asked his father before, and his father's answer was very vague, "It's barely your brother, although it's a thing made with the Ancient Demon Dao", which made him even more confused.

And that brother ...... Based on his actual age, he is eight years old, and he is six years old, but I don't know if it's because he has been locked up for too long, this guy's intelligence really makes people suspect that he is eight years old, because after meeting, he has been smirking excitedly except for asking "Are you my brother?"

"Brother, I'm not such an idiot brother, for your mother's sake, I will be responsible for taking care of her, you can rest assured!"

Enduring the unhappiness and boredom in his heart, Bai Wuji promised his mother like this. Seeing her son's thoughts, Queen Nida was silent for a while, leaving only a question as she left.

"So...... Mowgli, what are your relatives to you?"

Bai Wuji ignored this question. After his mother left, in order to become an outstanding heir, Bai Wuji's life was very busy. His father is an outstanding man with both literary and military talents, and his requirements for the people around him are also extremely strict, in order not to disappoint his father, Bai Wuji has been practicing hard in all aspects.

The idea of taking slaves is just to do something to make his mother happy, as for this weird-brained brother, Bai Wuji has no interest in ignoring it at all, he is already exhausted from being busy with all kinds of training all day, and he has no strength to manage superfluous things, if that guy still wants to sing to him by himself, it will be a mental breakdown.

However, this fear did not come true, and after the mother left, the child put on a ridiculous shelf, saying "I am your brother, and my mother is not there, so I will be responsible for taking care of you and protecting you", and took the initiative to help clean the room and tidy up the environment.

Bai Wuji laughed dumbly, but he also let him go, seeing him busy going in and out of the room every day, clumsy with his hands and feet, it was really a little ridiculous. And when he came to his younger brother with a book for the first time, he didn't ask for a story, but for guidance on martial arts.

"Wuji, can you teach me how to practice the Nuclear Fusion Fist?"

As the young master of the Bai family, of course Bai Wuji is also learning the Six Arts Divine Skills, seeing that this brother looks sick and weak with white muscles and thin muscles, it is not bad to pass on some martial arts to strengthen his body, but this guy is really bad, and even the most basic Yuan Suppression Gong has been practiced in a mess, no wonder his father hates him.

Putting that aside, when I come back from exhaustion every day and see someone in the room, I don't feel annoying, but when I fall asleep at night, I always hear a small cough, which is a little noisy. It wasn't until he woke up in the middle of the night to inspect that Bai Wuji realized that the reason why the cough was so small was because the child had a lot of cloth stuffed in his mouth to prevent the sound from coming out.

"Y-What are you doing?"

Looking at him, who was already coughing and his face was white, Bai Wuji was very surprised. Is this guy sick? Why don't you tell it? If you just die of illness, how will you explain it to your mother when the time comes?

At a closer look, I found many clues, this person's thin appearance is not like simple malnutrition, but like he is infected with some long-term diseases, and needs special care, but if he is so uncomfortable, why doesn't he say it?

"No matter how uncomfortable it is, I'll be better off staying here, and if I tell it, I may have to go back to the laboratory again, I'm afraid that once I go in, I'll never see you and my parents again." ”

"Even if that's the case, then you should ......"

"You're my brother, I care about you, I take care of you, I shouldn't burden you any more, if you know, you will be very troubled, right?"

The words accompanied by coughing only made Bai Wuji feel very irritable, and he was troubled by this, frowning and roaring: "You are so useless, you are already a burden in yourself, what does it mean not to add a burden to others." Don't talk about those laughing words, if you want to be my brother, what are you better than me? Why should you be my brother?"

The other party didn't seem to dare to reply, but after a short silence, Yu coughed with a look of shame and said in a low voice: "I......

There is no better than you, but it doesn't matter who is stronger when you become a brother. As your brother, when you are stronger than me, I am sincerely happy for you, and when you are no longer strong, I will never abandon you because of this, the so-called relatives, shouldn't this be the case?"

Naturally, this answer could not be accepted by Bai Wuji, so he only asked him to turn around and leave immediately after summoning his subordinate doctors.

The education of the orthodox Bai family is to attach 100% importance to personal ability, abandon all dependence psychology, advocate self-reliance and self-improvement, and never let yourself be reduced to accepting alms from outside. In addition to their own strength, everything in the world is not credible, all conventions, there is a possibility of sudden collapse, like father and son, or suddenly become an enemy stabbed from behind, in order to survive in such a competitive environment, their own strength must become extremely strong.

A strong lion will not need the mercy of a rabbit. This is the education of the White Emperor for his son, he once said: "The emperor has no son, only an heir, my love for you is because you are qualified to inherit everything from me, if you no longer have such qualifications one day, I will not hesitate to slaughter you." ”

Noticing the change in his son's expression, Bai Junhuang laughed and said: "Don't you like your father to treat you like this? It doesn't matter! As long as you have the strength to defeat me, you can set your own rules of the game, and the way of inheritance may not be hereditary, when your grandfather said this to me, I knew that one day, I would personally pluck off the head of this old waste, hahaha...... Mowgli, don't lose to your old man!"

The sense of crisis has always been an essential element of the Bai family's elite self-training, since stepping on Alcatraz Island, in order to catch up with his father's expectations, Bai Wuji tensed every nerve, and must do his best, for this reason, he scoffed at the nonsense words, because believing his words and relying on the so-called family affection, this feeling will only make him weak and be eliminated quickly.

Time flies quickly, claiming to travel to the sea with his father, Bai Wuji is educated on Alcatraz Island, and four years fly by.

In the past four years, although he is not as bright as his father in his studies, Bai Wuji's performance is also quite outstanding, and he has been unanimously praised by the elders of the clan. It feels good to be praised, but sometimes, there will be doubts, so that after the life of the tense God, when facing challenges, no time to think and others, he does not feel anything, but there is a slight excitement, but when he is alone in the middle of the night, an indescribable loneliness cannot help but flood his heart.

When you succeed, you are prominent, you become an outstanding talent standing at the top, and you are watched and praised by others, which is indeed a strong pleasure for yourself, but if one day you face failure, these people will mercilessly abandon themselves and stab yourself under pressure, but they will often wake up from their dreams, although my father will see this as the driving force for his own progress, and he will never get tired of it, but he thinks that he will have to live such a life in the future, many times, it is really very tired.

"Mowgli, do you know what the meaning of the funeral is? how much value a person has, and how many sincere tears there are at the funeral, you can clearly know it!"

That's what Mother Nida once said. In a situation where victory or defeat is directly related to life and death, you may soon have the opportunity to hold a funeral, but how many sincere tears can you have at your funeral? This is really a difficult problem to face......

It was only at this time that Bai Wuji would be confused. If you are such an outstanding self as my father said, I should have a lot of things and I won't feel any shortcomings, but why...... When you encounter doubts and want to talk to someone, only to find that there is no suitable person to talk to?

I am afraid that the only person who sees all these emotions in his eyes is the brother who does not know what he knows, and if this person discovers his own vulnerability, isn't it very inappropriate? A successful leader cannot show weakness in front of others.

In fact, I occasionally think that apart from my father and mother, he is the closest to my own blood in the world! What would be the situation if the two of them were to change the background of time and space? If they were not born in the Bai family and met in the way of ordinary brothers, what would it be like?

Bai Wuji didn't say these questions, and even when he thought about them occasionally, he would immediately suppress them with reason and reject this kind of boring idea that would make him weak. It's just that the sentence "When you are stronger than me, I am sincerely happy for you, and when you are no longer strong, I will never give you up", but when I slept alone at night, I rang in my ears with the coughing sound that became more and more frequent.

I have seen a doctor, I have taken a lot of medicines, and even Bai Wuji actively guided him to practice pressure yuan gong to keep fit, but the effect is not significant, for his brother's strange illness, Bai Wuji is helpless, plus everything is busy, there is not much time to spend on it, in addition, because his father will be very unhappy when he sees his brother, it is not good to find a famous doctor to treat him, so he has to let him cough like this.

The relationship between the two brothers changed in the spring of the year when they were eleven years old. In order to inspect the actual combat situation of the five-color flag, the white army emperor took his son to the war zone, and suddenly, a large number of monsters poured out of the demon cave, echoing the monsters that had been trapped in the siege net, and the five-color flag was caught off guard.

The chaotic situation involved Bai Wuji in actual combat. Martial arts are not as good as his mind, and Bai Wuji, who is besieged by a large number of monsters, has a hard time coping, especially when several giant demonic beasts are approaching, the situation is even more critical.

Shocked to find that the young master was in danger, the five-color flag hurriedly divided his troops to help, but was stopped by the White Army Emperor raising his hand.

"Don't go! Mowgli, such a small scene, as the heir of the Bai family, there is no reason why you can't deal with it, slaughter all these miscellaneous pieces and come back!"

"No, no, Dad, I can't handle it, there are too many of them, I ......"

"Of course I know that this is beyond your ability, but the reason why the strong are strong is because they can break through themselves at the moment of life and death.

Unleash your potential, it's easy to slaughter these things, if you really can't do it, it proves that you're nothing more than that, such a useless heir, I don't need it, let me die here!"

Ignoring his son's danger in the group of monsters, the White Army Emperor made an extremely cold decision. And knowing that his father was not joking, Bai Wuji desperately wanted to ask for life, but not everything could be done as long as he worked hard, his weapons had been broken, and his ammunition had been exhausted.

With strong firepower, the five-color banner quickly ended the external war and wiped out the monster group, but under the strict order of the head of the family, everyone only watched coldly, and no one dared to take the risk and dare to rescue the young master who was about to die.

I have only been concentrating on exercising my own abilities, and when my own abilities are not enough to rely on, I find that I have nothing else.

It was only at this time that I really realized that the road of the strong is not easy to walk, the lion is not so strong every moment, and there are always times in life when I would like someone to come to help.

If I did what my mother said, I must have been a failure......

When these thoughts came to mind, and the shadow of death enveloped the body and mind, a sharp sound of breaking the air quickly approached, and the human-faced bird that was rushing in front of him was blown to pieces, followed by a piercing machine gun fire, and dense bullets shot wildly, hitting the invading monsters one by one.

Stunned, he looked to the side, snatched the weapon from the hand of the officer of the five-color flag, and ran briskly while attacking the monster with a machine gun, which looked so familiar, but extremely unfamiliar, because it was really hard to imagine that he, who was always coughing and pale, would have such a majestic moment.

It's just that when the ammunition of the gun in his hand ran out, the officers around him still did not make a rescue action, and the remaining monsters were still attacking his younger brother, he did not hesitate to turn around and run, running in the opposite direction.

He is sick and weak, he doesn't have such good skills, and even his body, which is very difficult to run like this, can't arrive before the monster attacks, and even if he does, it won't help, but like this, while running in the opposite direction, he cuts his arm and spills blood on the ground, and the strong smell of blood is enough to make these monsters whose instinct is stronger than reason turn around and chase after them.

The plan can be said to be very successful, but before he ran a few steps, he was caught up by the monster behind him, and scratched a hideous blood mark on his back with one claw. But this delay was enough, learning the method from his brother's surprise attack, Bai Wuji, who had resolved the crisis, quickly snatched the weapon from the officers on the side, and fired fiercely at the group of monsters, preemptively destroying his brother before the monsters could split his body.

The matter was solved like this, barely passed the test, and the face of the White Emperor was not very good-looking, but because his son survived this test with his own hands after all, there is nothing to be picky about in the truth, but this way of passing the test is really a distance from easily slaughtering monsters with his own force, and establishing the prestige of the next head of the family before everyone.

In addition, the carefully cultivated heir, at a critical juncture, actually relied on the help of that failed product to overcome the problem, which made the White Army Emperor's ability to clean up quite unpleasant, although he did not resort to words, but the dissatisfaction was obvious.

If it was in the past, Bai Wuji would definitely be very worried about this, but after a trip to life and death for the first time in his life, he had a different view on many things. Even the White Emperor didn't know that in his son's heart, a earth-shaking change had taken place, a great change that was destined for the father and son to part ways in the future.

"Why...... Why did you come at that time?"

From the mouth of the medical staff, Bai Wuji knew an astonishing fact, his brother's physique was special, all the drugs did not work, and all the medical personnel could do was to put on bandages and stop the bleeding first.

It is no wonder that his illness has not been cured well, and if the medicine stone is useless and his body itself is weak, how can his illness be cured? The elder brother himself knows all these things, and once he participates in the battle and is injured, he must know what will happen, so why did he still take the initiative to run out? When everyone was unresponsive, he, a person who could not go to the battlefield at all, stepped forward, these ......

And in front of his brother, who was almost wrapped in a mummy, Bai Wuji's voice trembled, and he asked this question.

He already knew the answer, and he could guess how the other party would answer, but the person on the hospital bed said calmly in an extremely weak voice, "Because...... You are my younger brother, and when my brother is in danger, stand up and protect him, isn't it my brother's responsibility?"

This kind of behavior that will make him weak should be stopped, but at this moment, he didn't want to suppress himself at all, and in front of his brother on the hospital bed, the boy completely abandoned all the precepts, and like an eleven-year-old boy should do, he frequently wiped his tears with his wrist and cried out loud.

It turns out that whether it is crying or laughing, it is so comfortable to be able to let go of your emotions without any worries about showing weakness to others......

Mom...... Now I can tell you that when I die one day, there will definitely be someone who will cry out for me at the funeral, so that I will start to be considered a valuable person......
