The first floor of the world.

"What? Can't? ”

"Still don't you feel worthy?"

Looking at Xiao Hongxing, who had not responded for a long time, Li Wuji smiled contemptuously and asked lightly.

"The little one has never dreamed of becoming the head of the Xiao family, not to mention that the big house is powerful and favored by His Majesty, this is impossible."

Xiao Hongxing came back to his senses, knew that he had heard correctly, shook his head, and said with a wry smile.

"So what?"

"I said that you are the next head of the Xiao family, you are!"

"The only thing I want to know now is if you dare to fight for that position?"

Li Wuji sneered and asked categorically.

"I dare!"

"If you can really become the next head of the Xiao family, the Xiao family is willing to do anything for the Hou Ye! From now on, the little one is the pawn of the Hou Ye, who is sent without fear of life and death! ”

Xiao Hongxing hesitated for a moment, clasped his hands into fists, and nodded heavily, looking excited.

"Don't die at every turn, you're only useful to me if you're alive."

"Since you agreed, then from this moment on, you and I are friends, and sooner or later, one day, I will let you sit on the chair of the head of the Xiao family."

Li Wuji smiled and said confidently.

"Thank you, Master Hou!"

Xiao Hongxing said loudly, respectfully made a big salute, and slammed his head directly on the ground.

"Since we are already friends, we don't need such a big gift, and don't call them the Hou Ye, just like them, just call me my son."

"Don't be small, it sounds awkward, I know you're not a willing to grovel, it's just a little bit of a hidden secret."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

He could see that if Xiao Hongxing was really a person who was willing to fate, he would not come to the door today.

A person who reads poetry and books and plunges himself into the quagmire of pain for a loved one will not be an incompetent person no matter how poor he is.

"Thank you, Childe!"

Xiao Hongxing bowed, his face full of gratitude.

"Sit."

Li Wuji pointed to the opposite side of him again, said lightly, and after speaking, he motioned for Cao Zi'an to retreat and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Hongxing with his own hands.

Xiao Hongxing hesitated, got up slowly, and carefully sat opposite Wuji.

"The tea is good, you can try it."

Li Wuji smiled, picked up the teacup and gestured, and took a sip of tea.

Xiao Hongxing hesitated, slowly stretched out his hand and picked up the teacup, put it to his mouth and sipped it lightly, still looking cramped and uneasy.

Maybe he didn't expect that he originally wanted to take refuge and find a chance for himself and his mother, but he didn't expect that now he has become a friend of Wuji Gongzi.

How can he be deserved?

"Now that we're in the same boat, I should know what you've been through, right? What is it that makes you what you are today? ”

Li Wuji stretched out his hand, pointed at Xiao Hongxing from top to bottom, and asked lightly.

He doesn't know Xiao Hongxing, if he needs to use the Xiao family to do something for him in the future, then he must know what kind of person Xiao Hongxing is, and whether he is trustworthy at the critical moment.

After listening to Li Wuji's question, Xiao Hongxing frowned, drank the tea that was still a little hot in the cup directly, took a deep breath with a red face, and slowly opened his mouth:

"Originally, I was taught by my father since I was a child, read poetry and books, and was carefully cultivated as the future head of the family, but since the empress ascended the throne, the Xiao family can only be headed by women."

"Dafang used some unsavory means to force my mother to give up the position of the head of the family, and became the head of the Xiao family.

"In order to protect me, my mother can only swallow her anger and endure step by step until I grow up, but the humiliation that my mother has been subjected to over the years, although it is vivid and unforgettable, but there is nothing I can do."

"When I was at my most helpless, I met her..."

Xiao Hongxing reminisced and spoke slowly, with a hint of hatred faintly under his painful face, until he mentioned "her", and suddenly showed a warm smile that he had not seen for a long time.

"She was like a beacon that illuminated my miserable and helpless life, and soon we fell in love with each other and made a private lifelong commitment, and I secretly swore that she would not marry in this life."

So I went to the big house, hoping to marry her into the house, but the big house not only did not allow it, but forced us to separate! The reason is just that the door is not right, which is ridiculous! When did she treat me as a member of the Xiao family?! ”

"I was so angry that I wanted to take her to escape from the capital and wander the world, but before we could leave, Dafang arrived with someone and killed her alive in front of me! Just in front of me! I watched her die in front of me! ”

"But Dafang still refuses to give up, after tying me back to the Xiao family, he still wants to implement the family law on me, my mother is already weak, in order to save me, she took the family law herself! Since then, I have been sick and still in bed! ”

"All of this is caused by Dafang, so I hate Dafang and everyone in the Xiao family! I've wanted to escape countless times, and I've hated this feminist world! ”

"But my mother is still there, so I can only endure the humiliation and burden, like a walking corpse, and live all day long, drinking alcohol."

Xiao Hongxing clenched the teacup in his hand tightly, and poured out all the pain that had been held in his heart for many years, his expression changed constantly, sometimes his face was full of pain, and sometimes his eyes were full of anger.

"You must love her very much."

Li Wuji sighed secretly, looked at Xiao Hongxing in pain, and said lightly.

"Except for my mother, she is the most cherished person in this life!"

"I have made a vow that in the next life, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find him again and never be separated from her again."

Xiao Hongxing smiled miserably and said slowly.

Such an oath may not even be believed in by himself, but he can only use it to comfort his broken heart.

"Tea instead of wine, toast."

Li Wuji picked up the teacup, said sincerely, and drank the tea in the cup.

"Let Childe see and smile."

"Childe, do you remember that old man with a hache in the tea stall, who seems to be indifferent to everything?"

Xiao Hongxing smiled bitterly and asked slowly.

"Yes."

Li Wuji thought about it for a moment and nodded with a smile.

He still remembered that the old man didn't want to sell his wine that night, but then he ordered a pot of nostalgia.

"That's her grandfather, and that's where we met."

"Her grandfather has been there since she died, and he has never blamed me, only the world."

"So he never paid me for wine, he only sold me wine, and we all seemed to be waiting, waiting for someone who would never come back."

Xiao Hongxing showed a smile full of sorrow, raised his head and poured the tea again, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

After listening to Xiao Hongxing's story, Li Wuji had mixed feelings in his heart, and couldn't help but be a little moved.

He thought about what Xiao Hongxing must have experienced in the past, but he didn't expect it to be so profound, even cruel.

"The story is very moving, and I did not misunderstand you."

"Always remember this hatred, and I will help you pay it back little by little."

Li Wuji looked at Xiao Hongxing and said with a serious face.

He knew that if it weren't for this hatred, Xiao Hongxing might not be alive now, and if it weren't for this hatred, Xiao Hongxing wouldn't be ruthless enough to help him deal with the Xiao family.

Save a person on the verge of despair, and you will be faithful to the death.

"Thank you, Childe!"

"From now on, I am willing to saddle the horse for my son, and I will never give up!"

Xiao Hongxing nodded, put down the teacup, and said respectfully, categorically.

Li Wuji pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say anything more.

He could see that Xiao Hongxing didn't treat him as a friend, not because he didn't want to, but he didn't dare, but he didn't break it, and some things could only be taken as they were.

But he really regards Xiao Hongxing as a friend, a sincere and sincere person, worthy of befriending.

Since he had his first relative, he seems to have had his first friend.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Cao Zi'an pushed the door open a crack and poked his head in, his face a little solemn.

"What?"

Li Wuji glanced at it and asked casually.

"Childe, the guards have surrounded us here!"

Cao Zi'an frowned and said slowly.

Listening to Cao Zi'an's words, Li Wuji raised his eyebrows, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth...
