The midday sun shines through the dense woods and spreads along the mountain path.

Every now and then a breeze blows, the branches sway, and the little sunlight that shines through the branches also flicker.

The sunlight flickered in and out under the shade of the trees, and it seemed that the heat was so hot that it dissipated a lot.

There is a fine bead of sweat on the tip of Ye Qing's nose.

When he was just hugged by Han Zhongyuan, he was actually very uncomfortable.

It has nothing to do with who is holding him, it's purely due to the weather.

Before the summer has passed, the slightest movement is sweating.

Even if Ye Qing was a child, the carriage he sat in all the way didn't move much, he didn't sweat, and he didn't want to be carried and walked.

But he still held back, in order to win Han Zhongyuan's favor.

But he never expected that before Han Zhongyuan could walk a few steps with him in his arms, someone would see through his disguise.

This made Ye Qing very uneasy in his heart, he seemed to be a little timid, he didn't dare to look at Li Boyang, and his cowering appearance made people pity.

Li Boyang obviously didn't eat him, "Aren't you going to speak?" He asked directly.

"Say...... Say...... Say what? Ye Qing's body shook and stammered back.

Li Boyang smiled angrily, "Do you think you are pretending to be very real?" Well acted? I'm sorry, but I can hear your heartbeat directly, feel how fast your blood is flowing, and even perceive pheromones...... All your disguises are meaningless to me. ”

Although he didn't understand it very well, Ye Qing was still a little shocked, and his little hand involuntarily put it on his heart.

Knock knock knock...... Knock knock knock...... He could feel his heartbeat, firm and powerful, without the slightest hint of being intimidated.

Ye Qing was silent for a moment.

The body is not shaking anymore.

The slightly curled body also stood up straight.

"Who are you?" After a while, Ye Qing asked.

"Who am I? Scold. ”

"I don't want to answer this question for you yet, unless I'm sure you can be admitted to the sect."

"So what you're going to do now is, I'll ask you to answer."

"If you are satisfied, you can go in, if you are not satisfied, where did you come from and where you went back."

"Understood?" Li Boyang put down the book in his hand, looked at Ye Qing, and said with an indifferent expression.

Ye Qing pursed his lips, and for the first time, a trace of unease flashed across his little face.

This person seems to be ...... with everyone I've met before. It's all different.

He was cold, so cold that he looked into his eyes as if he were looking at an object, not a living person, not a child.

It's not so much that the person has no empathy, it's that the person sees through everything.

Ye Qing was very helpless, he could only nod silently.

"Okay."

"First question, have you ever killed someone?"

Han Zhongyuan, who was listening on the side, couldn't help but change his face.

The sentence Li Boyang asked seemed to be a question, but it was not.

If you really just ask the other party if they have killed someone, they should ask [Have you ever killed someone?] Instead of [Have you ever killed someone?] 】

These two sentences seem to ask the same question, but in fact, the meaning is completely different.

Han Zhongyuan looked down at Ye Qing, and his expression suddenly became a little complicated.

Ye Qing was stunned when he heard Li Boyang's question, as if he was frightened, and took a step back.

He wanted to deny it, but when he saw Li Boyang's smiling expression, he suddenly felt cold in his heart.

After a while, he said, "Yes...... But I didn't think I was wrong. ”

"The answer is incorrect."

"I'm just asking you to admit yes or no."

"I don't want to know if you think you're right or wrong."

Li Boyang smiled, his white teeth glowing in the sun, a little dazzling.

Ye Qing's face couldn't help but darken, and his heart suddenly became nameless.

But when he saw Li Boyang's smiling face, he shuddered inexplicably, and his anger suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He always felt like he was facing a certain big demon king at this time, and all his reactions and all his mood changes were all under the control of the demon king.

There is no escape from him.

"Then the second question."

"How did your parents die?"

"Is it really because of the flood?"

Li Boyang continued to ask.

It's just that this question was a little too exciting, so that Han Zhongyuan couldn't help but shudder, and looked at Ye Qing with unbelievable eyes.

Ye Qing's little hand couldn't help but squeeze hard, but then it hung down weakly.

Even if he wanted to resist, but he didn't know how to resist, he lowered his head in frustration and said in a muffled voice, "I have long found traces of a flash flood that is about to erupt, but I didn't remind the couple that they did die because of the flash flood, but I also have some responsibility." ”

Listening to Han Zhongyuan, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, this kid seemed to be a little different from what he thought.

Li Boyang was not surprised at all, but nodded slightly, "Yes, it is clear and clear." ”

"Last question, are your parents the only ones who won't be seen in the flood?"

Ye Qing raised his head suddenly, looking at Li Boyang's eyes as if he was looking at a monster, and after hesitating for a while, he said in a hesitant voice, "I...... I...... My brother is gone. ”

When Han Zhongyuan heard Ye Qing say this, he had an urge to walk away.

However, to his surprise, Li Boyang laughed when he heard such an outrageous answer.

"You didn't think to find a reason to fool the past, and you didn't die and refuse to admit it, but it surprised me."

Yes?!

Ye Qing, who was already planning to turn around and go down the mountain, felt that he had no hope of entering the sect, and was suddenly stunned on the spot.

Thing...... It doesn't seem to be quite what he thought?!

I heard Li Boyang continue, "Actually, when you appeared at Han Zhongyuan's house, I had already asked people to investigate your identity. ”

"What kind of life did you live in the past, who was in your family, and what kind of personality were you...... It's pretty much clear. ”

"Judging from the data, you used to be doing well, but since your mother died and your father continued to play, your status in the family has plummeted."

"The stepmother's son has become a young master, and you have become a servant, and you have endless work to do every day, which is very miserable."

Li Boyang paused, and then asked, "Do you hate them very much?" ”

Ye Qing bit his lower lip hard, his eyes were soaked with tears, and his snot flowed down.

Han Zhongyuan couldn't help sighing, he couldn't imagine that this was the case, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch Ye Qing's fluffy little head.

His hands were big and hot, and they easily covered Ye Qing's head.

Ye Qing was stunned and glanced behind him, only to see Han Zhongyuan smiling at him.

He couldn't hold back any longer, his mouth opened, and he cried out with a whoa.

While sobbing, he said, "Woo woo...... I didn't want them to die, really, I really didn't want them to die...... Hiccup......"

"I ...... I...... I just want them to suffer, because there are floods almost every year in our area, and in previous years, at most they flooded houses, and no one died. ”

"I never thought that this year's floods would be so serious that they washed away all the houses."

"Oppressed by your stepmother, you have learned to force a smile, read words, pretend to be weak, and be pleasant."

"You know how to minimize your sins."

"It's not what you want to learn, but the environment you're in makes you have to learn."

"You ruined your home by mistake, and then you relied on these instincts to go from Fengyuan Village to Wuding City."

"I think there must be a lot of people who have been deceived by you along the way."

"But you certainly don't feel like you're at fault, because for you, that's how you survive." Li Boyang sighed lightly and said softly.

In his opinion, this Ye Qing is most likely the [protagonist] that Zhang Xingxi saw.

It's just that judging from Ye Qing's way of survival, he shouldn't be the [protagonist] in the real sense, but more like a villain boss who hasn't grown up.

Ye Qing wiped his eyes, "So, am I not wrong?" ”

Li Boyang looked at him and shook his head slightly, "It's true that there is nothing wrong with doing anything to survive, but your mistake is that no one teaches you." ”

"When to give it your all, when to stop, when to accept the kindness of others."

"You are so cautious, even if Senior Brother Han's parents treat you like that, although you are moved, you still deliberately keep your distance from them."

"Maybe your idea is simple, as long as I don't give, then I won't lose, and I won't be hurt."

"But you don't think about it, if someone else gives you and you don't get a response...... You feel the warmth and then lose it, will you regret it later? ”

These words were said in a very leapy way, Han Zhongyuan didn't understand it too much, but eleven-year-old Ye Qing did.

He hesitated for a while, opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say, a small face, like crying and laughing, was stupidly stunned in place.

After a long time, he said in a dry voice, "I won't, can you teach me?" ”

Li Boyang shrugged, "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at teaching children." ”

"Huh?" Ye Qing couldn't react a little, this was different from what he thought.

Li Boyang stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Zhongyuan, "If you really want to learn, in fact, the person who can teach you is by your side." ”

Han Zhongyuan shook his hand again and again, "Senior brother, I can't do it, this kid has a good talent, if you really want to follow me, it's a waste." ”

"Besides, I'm just an outer disciple, and I haven't entered the inner door, so I don't have the qualifications to accept disciples."

"Not really."

"This kid is talented and intelligent, and he is very obsessed with strength, so you don't have to worry about martial arts."

"I asked him to follow you so that he could learn how you behaved, so what you did was and how you are still doing it, you just need to let him watch from the sidelines."

"You don't need to accept him as a disciple, huh...... Just take in a godson. Li Boyang said with a smile.

Dry...... Dry...... godson??!

Han Zhongyuan was dumbfounded, what kind of operation is this?

He just picked up someone, why did he pick up a son for himself??!

Ye Qing turned his head to look at Han Zhongyuan, looked at his stunned expression, pursed his lips, knelt down in front of him with a puff, and shouted crisply, "Godfather." ”

Han Zhongyuan's brain was buzzing, and he didn't know how to answer, and his heart was both happy and helpless.

He knew that none of the things that had anything to do with Senior Brother Li were normal.
