In the inner room, Zhao Sheng heard the conversation between them clearly from beginning to end, and secretly clenched his fists.

He knew that his ambitious "second uncle" was playing tricks on his "self-proclaimed smart" father again......

Zhao Sheng didn't know how he knew the second uncle's thoughts, it was purely a feeling after listening to it.

Although the words that came out of Zhao Ye's mouth were very reasonable, and the conditions offered were also very tempting, Zhao Sheng just felt that Zhao Ye was playing a trick on them.

For the first time, Zhao Sheng felt that his feelings would be so strong and real.

In the process of going through the pain of ten thousand ants devouring the heart for seven days, Zhao Sheng's temperament has changed a lot, and he has also figured out many things.

From perverse to regular, from impetuous to calm.

Zhao Sheng didn't know if this feeling was called "enlightenment", anyway, no matter what he saw or did now, he would subconsciously think about the right and wrong of the antecedents, as well as the good and evil of the consequences.

He felt that he was "enlightened"......

For the Zhao family, Zhao Sheng only has hatred in his heart, thin human affection, cold eyes of brothers, and even ...... between father and son There is not much family affection to speak of.

Because everyone is focused on one thing called "cultivation", they don't have the energy to maintain other things.

For example, "family affection".

...... ......

Zhao Sheng hated in his heart, but he was also very helpless.

Six years ago, his father was invited by the Zhao family to recognize Mrs. Zhao as his father and change his name and surname. And Zhao Sheng naturally became the grandson of the Zhao family.

Although he was reluctant, Zhao Sheng was still young at that time and did not have the right to speak, so he could only follow his father into the Zhao family.

In the first few years, their status in the Zhao family was quite good, although they were also inferior, but the contradictions in them were not as big as they are now.

But since the old lady Zhao had plans to abdicate, the descendants of the Zhao family began to target them more intensely.

He was helpless because he understood the word "interests" in it.

Although Zhao Sheng didn't have the intention of competing for family property, they felt that Zhao Sheng did.

Especially among the third-generation heirs of the Zhao family, although there are a lot of them, only Zhao Han and Zhao Sheng have good qualifications.

So, even if Zhao Sheng really didn't have it, it became yes, and he couldn't argue.

Especially the peers around him often use a sentence to satirize him: "If you really don't have this idea of competing for the position of grandson, don't cultivate!"

Fuck don't practice!

Every time he heard this, Zhao Sheng wanted to slap it hard and shatter their jealous hearts.

If Lao Tzu hadn't cultivated hard, he would have been played to death by you!

"Father, this is a disagreement within the Zhao family, and it is also a hidden danger of infighting, and the child thinks it is still ...... It's better not to mix. ”

After Zhao Ye left, Zhao Sheng tidied up his clothes, walked out of the room, and didn't say anything, just walked straight to Zhao Kai and knelt down directly.

A few days ago, because of Zhao Sheng's defeat without a fight, his father suffered a lot of eyes and ridicule, and he didn't know how to make up for it, so he could only use the gold under his knees to temporarily atone for his sins.

Zhao Kai frowned and glanced at him, and said coldly: "It's none of your business here, step down." ”

The matter of the Spirit Devouring Pill last time really made him lose face in the family, so during this period of time, he has been locking Zhao Sheng at home and confining him, and let Li Protector personally guard it.

Zhao Sheng was also honest, and he swallowed that breath after all

Go, and don't go around causing trouble for him according to his previous temperament.

Zhao Kai was originally very satisfied with Zhao Kai's ability to grow like this, but after a closer look, it was not like that.

He found out that this son was ...... Ambition is gone.

Not only that, but even the courage is gone, and they begin to become timid and backward.

If you don't have ambition and guts, you don't have the motivation to move forward, if you put it elsewhere, it will be fine, but in this Zhao family, or in the whole way of cultivating the truth, you can't do it!

"Father, the reason why we joined the Zhao family at that time was just to get the exercises to practice. We've got it now, we've got it six years ago!Now that our goal has been achieved, why do you continue to participate in their own family's infighting?" Zhao Sheng lowered his head, his expression couldn't be seen clearly, but his voice was a little trembling: "Now that a Huyang Taishou has been added, and even the Qi Sect has been involved, you don't want to go in and join in the fun, it's ...... to avoid suspicion."

"Stand down!" Zhao Kai slammed his palm on the table and scolded: "What am I doing this for? For whom? Ah? It's not for this family? It's not for you to pave the way for the future?"

"For this family, for me...... Father, are you telling a joke?" Zhao Sheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled miserably.

It was as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Some people always like to put some high-sounding reasons on their ambitions, saying that they are for others, but in the end they are just to fill that growing ambition.

Zhao Sheng never felt that the Zhao family was like a family, let alone a father, but like two huge mountain ranges, which made him almost breathless.

"When you asked me to eat that Soul Eater Pill...... Is it for me, too?"

"You get out! Get out of here!" Zhao Kai scolded with hatred.

"Okay, okay, I'll go out, I'll go out......" Zhao Sheng's face was miserable.

...... ......

Zhao Sheng ran out of the Zhao family's old mansion like a run, he really didn't want to stay here for a moment.

This place, on the outside, looks like a palace, but what is hidden inside is really filthy to make him sick.

"Shopkeeper, bring me your best wine here!" Zhao Sheng walked into the city and into a restaurant, wanting to buy drunk.

At this moment, only wine can neutralize the coldness in his heart.

"This guest officer, the shop is already closed. If you want to eat and drink, you might as well come back tomorrow......" The shopkeeper wanted to refuse.

"What did you just say, I didn't hear it, master!" Zhao Sheng said disdainfully. Then he took out a few hard objects from his arms, split his head and covered his face, and smashed them towards the shopkeeper.

"Eh, I said that you are a person, are you deliberately looking for faults......" The shopkeeper hurriedly dodged away, and was about to get angry, but when he saw that the thing that fell to the ground was actually a few ingots of white silver, he immediately smiled, picked up the silver one by one, and said: "Oh, this guest officer, you sit first, the small shop is open all night, and you can have as much wine as you want!"

After that, the shopkeeper went to take the wine.

There is no greater greed for profit in the world.

Zhao Sheng glanced at the shopkeeper, but didn't say anything.

Because he knows that the reason why these worldly mortals are greedy for profit is because they need it, because they are to support their families, and because they can take out silver taels in time to treat them when they are unfortunate and sick.

But what about cultivators?

There are no disasters and diseases in this life, and there is no worry about food and clothing in this life, in this case, why do you want it

More insatiable than mortals?

Zhao Sheng really couldn't figure it out.

For most of the next half an hour, Zhao Sheng kept pouring wine into his mouth.

He wanted to get drunk, but the earthy aura in his body had been spontaneously dispersing the alcohol entering his body, and after a few jars, Zhao Sheng was not only drunk, but was extremely uncomfortable by the stomach of wine.

This made Zhao Sheng feel more and more aggrieved and uncomfortable.

So, he ran to the suburbs, threw the immortal method indiscriminately, roared and vented, until all the aura in his body was exhausted, and then he returned to the restaurant and got drunk again.

He asked the shopkeeper of the restaurant to pretend to be a pig in front of him, learn to bark a dog, and even use the shopkeeper as a mount.

In this silent night, the different laughter of the two people kept echoing in the night sky for a long time.

"Third Young Master, you're playing tricks again. The whip that was whipped by others last time because of his temperament, and he forgot it so quickly?" Not long after, Li Protector walked into the restaurant with a frown.

He was ordered by Zhao Kai to guard Zhao Sheng, and he had been following him from afar, if Zhao Sheng was just borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, but the current approach is indeed a bit excessive.

If he didn't show up, maybe Zhao Sheng would do something even more excessive.

"Forgot? Like...... Alas!" Zhao Sheng lay on the table, subconsciously touched his face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If you don't mention this, I really forgot about it." What is a whip compared to the pain of the seven days? I regret it, I regret why I didn't forget it sooner...... Hehe, I said Uncle Li, do you know how to write the four words "self-inflicted?"

"......" Li Protector was silent.

How to write it for himself, he knows. But he also knows how to write the words "things within the division".

After all, he was just a servant of the Zhao family.

Zhao Sheng stared at Li Protector for a while, sighed silently, reached out and touched it in his arms, but he took out seven or eight ingots of silver, and muttered in a low voice, "I guess it's the last time to indulge", so he threw the silver to the shopkeeper, and then walked out of the restaurant.

The biting night breeze blew through him, and he was slightly sober.

Then, he looked up at the towering Taishou Mansion not far away, and fell into deep thought.

He asked Li Protector: "You have been with my father for 20 years, you know better than me when I am a son...... Is it worth your life for a person like a grass on the wall?"

Li Protector said: "The grace of saving lives is like reconstruction. ”

Zhao Sheng's face was stunned, and he said faintly: "The grace of saving lives is like rebuilding...... What is the grace of recreation?"

Protector Li was silent, not knowing how to answer Zhao Sheng's question.

Zhao Sheng stretched out his hand and patted Li Protector's shoulder: "Okay, Uncle Li, you go back! Also, I am not the third young master of the Zhao family, and I am not surnamed Zhao...... My surname is Jiang, and my surname is Jiang!

Picking up the previous name again, Jiang Sheng only felt extremely happy in his heart.

He turned around, didn't look at Protector Li again, and went straight in the direction of the Taishou Mansion.

"Three...... Young Master Jiang! You have to understand what you're doing! Breaking away from the Zhao family is equivalent to throwing away a lot of silver and spiritual property! Are you sure you want to do this?" Protector Li suddenly reminded.

Jiang Sheng's footsteps paused for a moment, and then, at a faster speed, he sank into the darkness ahead.
