Chapter XVI: Provocation
That person is Xu Chengzhi.
Just one glance, the anger ignited in an instant drowned all of Xu Yunhe's thoughts. He didn't hear a word of what the two men said, he didn't remember a word. He doesn't have to listen, he doesn't have to think. The presence of two people here at this time, at this place, is enough to illustrate a qiē problem.
It was he, his own cousin, who grew up with him, who instructed others behind his back, breaking his ribs, breaking the bridge of his nose, and swelling his eyes. The bones and tendons that break the bones and bones again and again, and the lonely crying late at night again and again, are all because of this "relative"!
From the abolition of his talent, to being looked down upon everywhere later, until he was finally humiliated by Xu Siping and others, Xu Yunhe attributed this kind of injury to fate. If it weren't for his own bad life, how could he have suffered so much unimaginable pain from ordinary people?
It's my own bad life, and all the pain and sorrow are destined by God. Heaven reincarnated Himself in this world in order to make himself suffer all kinds of torture. God is destined, what can I do except bear it silently?
Therefore, for the previous tribulations, Xu Yunhe endured them with a mind of resignation. He thought that this qiē was all predestined. But seeing this scene in front of him, Xu Yunhe realized that he was wrong, and his mistake was ridiculous.
What is destined, those are just cowards using to deceive themselves! There has never been any providence that is difficult to violate, man-made disasters, and it is only human beings who have made themselves suffer so much! Providence is difficult to disobey, is it still necessary to be afraid of people, I, Xu Yunhe?
I don't know if it's a Jedi counterattack, after seeing this amazing scene in front of him, Xu Yunhe not only sank without being hit. On the contrary, through the anger in his heart, he aroused the fighting spirit that had been sleeping for a long time. After returning to the mountain, Xu Yunhe began to formally apprentice and learn martial arts from Su Liusha. After encountering Xu Siping, he will still be injured, but Xu Yunhe, who is becoming more and more skilled, has many injuries that are just pretended. He is waiting, waiting for the day when he can no longer look forward and backward, he can stand in the Xu family in a dignified manner like now, and he is no longer afraid of anyone's open swords and dark arrows!
Now he has done it.
Xu Yunhe never knew why this cousin, who was very good to him before, would be so cruel to him. The anger in his heart is no less than when he first understood the truth, but the painful experience over the years has taught Xu Yunhe a very important means of survival - disguise.
When the strength is strong, it is natural to kill the Quartet regardless of the situation. But when one's own strength is far inferior to the other party, camouflage is the way to survive.
Xu Chengzhi stood in front of him, although Xu Yunhe really wanted to smash his smiling face, and then grabbed his hair and asked him why he did this to himself, but he didn't show this kind of affection at all. He knew that this grievance needed to be settled. But now, it's not the time.
"Yo, this is the genius martial artist that our Xu family has rarely seen in a hundred years-Xu Yunhe, right?" Xu Yunhe was still being polite with Xu Chengzhi, when an exclamating old voice suddenly came from behind him.
Xu Yunhe turned around, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. He didn't know the person behind him, but when he saw the joy flashing in Xu Chengzhi's eyes, Xu Yunhe understood that this person must have come to trouble him.
Xu Yunhe was secretly vigilant in his heart, but the smile on his face bloomed again: "I don't know if this is ......"
"Oh, Yunhe, this is the sixth uncle of Deyan, according to the seniority, you still have to call him the sixth grandfather!" Xu Yunhe didn't know this person, but Xu Guofan did, so he hurriedly introduced Xu Yunhe. Just looking at the cold light in the depths of Xu Deyan's eyes, and the arrogant young man who followed him, Xu Guofan faintly guessed the other party's intention. The smile on his face slowly retracted.
"I've seen the sixth grandfather!" Xu Yunhe noticed that the other party was not good, but he pretended not to know, and this etiquette was also unambiguous.
"How dare you! Yunhe, you are now a hot young genius in the family, where can I afford this old bone?"
"Sixth uncle, today is the day when Yunhe returns to the family, and one qiē is mainly to celebrate. Sixth uncle, if you have anything to do, let's talk about it another day!" Xu Guofan glanced at Xu Yunhe, who seemed to be ignorant, sighed secretly in his heart, and turned to Xu Deyan to persuade.
Others don't know, Xu Guofan has been the head of the family for so many years, what kind of attention does this Xu Deyan pay attention to, can he still guess? Especially the arrogant young man behind the other party who has not spoken, the arrogance on his face that cannot be contained, which confirmed Xu Guofan's worries even more.
He understood that these two people wanted to find Xu Yunhe's bad luck, if it was in the past, he might not stop it, and even connived at it. But this time is different from the past, especially today, he doesn't want the other party to do anything wrong here and cause any trouble. The two sides are really unhappy, and it is not only Xu Guofan himself who is embarrassed, it will not be a good thing for both parties.
It's just that Xu Guofan's good intentions are destined to be in vain. Xu Deyan not only did not retreat with interest, but took a step forward and became angry at Xu Yunhe at close range: "I haven't seen Yunhe for more than ten years, I didn't expect Yunhe to be alive until now! It's really thanks to the blessing of the ancestors and ancestors of the Xu family, otherwise the Xu family's generation of disciples, I'm afraid there will be one less! I said Yunhe, you haven't gone to the ancestral hall yet, you have been free in two days, but you must go and worship sincerely!"
Xu Deyan's yin and yang weird tone could be heard by everyone, the smile on Xu Yunhe's face also turned cold, and his voice lost its temperature: "There is Lao Sixth Grandpa to worry about! The sixth grandfather is so old, and his body is still so tough, no matter how bad Yunhe is, he still has to come back to see the sixth grandfather!"
"Cheng Tao, come and see you Brother Yunhe!" Xu Deyan snorted coldly, turned to the young man standing behind him, and shouted.
It wasn't loud, but since the people got together, the noise had subsided. After Xu Deyan shouted this voice, it attracted more attention to focus on this place.
Xu Guofan's face sank, but at this moment it had become the focus of attention, and after weighing it for a moment, he finally decided to wait and see what happened.
Xu Guofan stood in place and did not move, the young man who had been standing behind Xu Deyan walked up quickly, a pair of narrow eyebrows slanted upward, and gave Xu Yunhe a perfunctory hand, and his voice was also lazy with thick disdain: "In Xu Chengtao, I will be lucky!"
The other party's disdain was already obvious, Xu Yunhe's eyes glanced faintly, and replied: "It turned out to be Chengtao's cousin, fortunately, I will be lucky!"
Both of them said the same thing, the same without nutrition, the same without temperature. After finishing speaking, the eyes of the two people looked at each other, as if they were frozen, motionless.
The two confronted each other, but Xu Guofan couldn't bear it anymore. He stepped in and blocked the sight of the two of them, didn't say anything to these two people, just looked at Xu Deyan with a sneer: "Elder Deyan, Yunhe's return home today is a gratifying and congratulatory event." You and Cheng Tao, what are you going to do?"
Xu Guofan's address to him has changed, and he no longer calls him "Sixth Uncle", but directly calls him "Elder Deyan", which can already express his warning at the moment.
Facing Xu Guofan's cold face, Xu Deyan turned a blind eye, but moved two steps to the side, looked at Xu Yunhe with a calm face, and said: "Yunhe, the sixth grandfather relies on the old and sells the old today, and he wants to tell you two words, I don't know if it's okay?"
"Sixth Grandpa, please!" Xu Yunhe replied lightly, his tone was as usual, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
"Okay!" The smile on Xu Deyan's face was even stronger, and he paced back and forth a few steps before he opened his mouth slowly, "Yunhe, it's been more than ten years since you left our Xu family, right?"
"Twelve years, three months, and six days. Xu Yunhe replied briefly.
"You remember it very clearly!" Xu Deyan exclaimed in a fake way, "It's been twelve years, I haven't seen you for such a long time, if it weren't for the head of the family here, the sixth grandfather wouldn't have recognized you!"
Xu Yunhe didn't say anything, and was silent.
"Yunhe, the sixth grandfather watched you grow up back then, and after not seeing you for so many years, he was a little unrecognizable. There have been a lot of changes in the family in the past 12 years, and I think there are many people here who probably don't remember you, right?"
"Elder Deyan!" Xu Guofan suddenly snapped.
Xu Deyan's face remained unchanged, he turned around and smiled at Xu Guofan, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the old man will save inches!"
After speaking, Xu Deyan turned around again to look at the arrogant Xu Chengtao, and bowed his head slightly: "Chengtao, for the rest, you can do it for your grandfather!"
"Brother Yunhe, I heard that you are an innate fire spirit body, and your cultivation speed is a hundred times faster than that of ordinary people, isn't that so?" Xu Chengtao, who had not spoken, finally opened his mouth, but as soon as he spoke, his tone was still full of arrogance.
Xu Yunhe nodded, not looking at his slanted eyes that flew into the sky.
"I have heard for a long time that the innate fire spirit body has a talent for martial arts that is difficult for ordinary people to reach, and this foolish brother naturally understands. But there are still many people in our Xu family, and many of them are lonely and unheard, and they have never seen what the fire spirit body looks like. I have some doubts about the name of Brother Yunhe's 'genius', and Brother Fool can't bear to see Brother Yunhe being questioned, and it just so happens that today's encounter is also a matter of fate, so you and I will have a discussion between the two brothers, so that those who have no knowledge can see the power of the fire spirit body. Foolish brother's intentions, I don't know what Brother Yunhe wants?"
