Xu Yinian's breathing stagnated.

Yu Huai's expression did not change, and she still looked at him with a smile. The warm light in the corridor reflected in the monster's eyes, filling it with a somewhat gentle flavor.

The boy quickly looked away, not daring to look at him again: "Let me blow on my head."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked back to the room: "Why don't you go through first? I'll come find you later. Where are you?"

Yu Huai asked politely: "Can you come in?"

Xu Yinian responded.

The hair dryer was making a sound in the room. After taking a shower, Xu Yinian only wore a loose T-shirt, and the wide open neckline was wet, exposing his thin collarbone.

Yu Huai looked at his side face for a while, her gaze paused on his collarbone for a moment, and then slowly looked away.

"Okay." The boy turned off the hair dryer and stood up, grabbing a suit for himself, "Let's go."

Yu Huai's words pleased "us", so he responded patiently and said nonsense: "Okay."

Xu Yinian picked up his cell phone: "Shall I send a message to Chen Ran and the others? They should all be asleep."

Yu Huai: "?"

Xu Yinian saw that Xia Ziheng was still in the group a few minutes ago, trying to organize team building, and the team building project was a very unscrupulous group. "Sure enough, I fell asleep."

He felt that there was no difference between Yu Huai asking him to listen to the news alone and everyone listening to the news together. It was polite, so he still acted like he was asking for advice.

Yu Huai said calmly: "You called."

Xu Yinian shouted in the group: [The team is formed.]

Xia Ziheng was very excited: [lurking or Kunchiyan?]

Chen Ran was very direct: [Climb.]

Ye Qiao was very perfunctory:[.]

Xu Yinian: [There is news about the wishing machine, come and listen?]

Ye Qiao and Chen Ran, who had been uninterested just now, became interested. After learning that the source of the news was Yu Huai, Xia Ziheng, whose life was hanging on the wish machine, couldn't help but: [Boss Yu is awesome!]

They all arrived very quickly. Not long after Xu Yinian sat down in the living room, others also arrived one after another.

As an excellent housekeeper, Nan Zhi has prepared snacks and drinks in advance. She placed a delicate rose flower arrangement in the center of the table, and the tablecloth was chosen to match the flower arrangement.

The embroidery style; Xu Yinian felt that she was on standby 24 hours a day. As long as Yu Huai opened her mouth, she could handle all work radiantly even in the early morning.

"Everyone is here." Yu Huai said to Mr. Luo on the other side of the table, "Let's talk."

Xu Yinian sat on the left side of Yu Huai, and the seat on the right was given to Xia Ziheng. Even if he was praised easily by the crowd, when he was really sitting with this murderous god, Xia Ziheng was as quiet as a chicken, and he did not dare to say a single word.

On the other side, Xu Yinian was not only sitting lazily on the chair, but also took the time to pour himself a glass of iced Coke. Xia Ziheng thought to himself, is this the power of his predecessor? Brother Xu, you are also very awesome.

Across the table, Mr. Luo's face was haggard and his eyes were bloodshot. When he met Yu Huai's gaze, he whispered: "The auction of the demon world has always invited well-known monsters. In order not to arouse suspicion, we

The old home has also sent you an invitation letter."

"After confirming that you will participate, we thought of a way to distract you: hire a survivor of the puppet clan and let him rob the wishing machine in public. Afterwards, we will privately contact the seller with the highest price to complete the transaction. In order to avoid leaks

News, we poisoned the puppet in advance... The old home initially only wanted to use the wishing machine for auction, but later, we had to use it to deal with Hua Hengjing."

There was some kind of tacit understanding, and the elders all talked about the specific uses of the wishing machine on the trial stand.

"The Lord wants to drive us all out, and even the elders can't resist it." Speaking of Chou, Luo Lao, who has been in power for a long time, smiled bitterly, "We can only hope to control Hua Hengjing through blood sacrifices.

Make him obedient."

The expressions of the people present more or less changed. Chen Ran and Xu Yinian looked at each other, both shocked by this insidious purpose.

Follow your advice?

It's like playing with a puppet, controlling a person's will and feelings with your own thoughts. Xu Yinian frowned: "You must be sick."

Facing the rude young demon slayer, a glimmer of gloom slipped through Luo's old eyes, which was soon replaced by numbness.

That's it, he thought to himself.

By this time, the chips in his hand were already very few.

"Hua Hengjing once had a younger brother. To be precise, all the previous masters of the Phantom Demon Clan had brothers."

"Every master must kill his brothers with his own hands. Hua Hengjing is no exception." Elder Luo ignored the incomprehensible expressions of several demon slayers and continued, "This is

The tradition of the clan. The Phantom Demon clan has a secret technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. This secret technique can only be given by the current master and his twin brothers with the approval of the Elder Council.

During this period, the quasi-lord will gain great power once he kills his own brother. The Lao Yuan has always believed that only a powerful lord can continue the glory of the ‌ clan, and this tradition has existed secretly for thousands of years."

"Hua Hengjing's younger brother is called Hua Hengyi. They are twins, and they look exactly the same. The relationship between the two brothers is very good. The elder brother has a cheerful personality, while the younger brother is reserved and silent. When I first met Hua Hengjing, he just

When he turned sixteen, he was already one of the candidates for the home. He and several other children were on the observation list of the nursing home. Without exception, these children were all

One of the twins.

Hua Hengjing is the one who satisfies us the most. He has shown amazing talent in illusion, and his various achievements are also very top-notch. The old hospital conducted a unified assessment on this child, and he is a snowman.

Oh, the parents of other children are waiting in the waiting area, except for Hua Hengjing. He and Hua Hengyi are orphans and have been dependent on each other since they were young."

Speaking of the last few words, Mr. Luo's eyes wandered for a moment, and he couldn't help but recall the scene on the day of the assessment.

The children's assessment content was to use magic to turn snowy days into spring. Hua Hengjing did it best. He turned all the snowflakes into pear blossoms. In the waiting area, there was a boy who looked similar to him, standing on tiptoes.

Wait until his assessment is over.

Probably a prank between brothers, Hua Hengjing deliberately transformed the eaves of the waiting area into a huge pear tree, and the pear blossoms rolled down like falling snow... The others were so angry that they went straight

Hiding in the house, only Hua Hengyi stood motionless, watering his pear blossoms, and happily waving to Hua Hengjing.

"...At that time, we were both amazed at his talent in illusions, but at the same time we couldn't help but feel apprehensive. He and his younger brother were so close that this would be a big trouble.

When he was in his freshman year, he was determined to be the prospective master. The old man requested the current master to give him a secret skill. Even the elders agreed that he would be a good person.

He was the successor to the throne, but the elder believed that his relationship with Hua Hengyi was a hidden danger. So we cut it first and told him later. After performing secret surgery on him and Hua Hengyi, he told him the details of the secret skill.

Effect. He has no way back. He must become the leader of the family. If he learns the secrets of the family and gives up this position, he and his brother will clean up the old home."

Hearing this, Yu Huai sneered softly: "You are really wicked."

Luo ‌Old ‌ had a rebuttal.

"There are many precedents for his situation. For prospective owners who are unwilling to kill their blood relatives, they use money and power to seduce, create misunderstandings, and sow discord... The old hospital is very easy to deal with. He found out about us

With his actions, he begged us not to force him to hurt Hua Hengyi. He will obey the arrangements of the old hospital and will do his best to become stronger. He is not the first prospective master to show rebellious emotions. We all

‌Pay attention to his disobedience and pleas‌.

Hua Hengjing was difficult to deal with, so we changed our target to Hua Hengjing. We told him the pros and cons and told him that if Hua Hengjing could not kill him until the secret technique expired, Hua Hengjing himself would

You will also lose your life as a result.

Maybe Hua Hengjing protected him too well. Hua Hengyi didn't understand the power struggle of the clan, nor did he understand the twists and turns. In addition, during that time, the old courtyard sent Hua Hengjing to

The pressure was very tight, and he took on many dangerous tasks. He had been sick intermittently, and his condition was very bad.

Hua Hengjing was frightened. He agreed to sacrifice for his brother, but he also had a condition - the old home must ensure Hua Hengjing's safety.

Of course, as long as he becomes our master, how can we not guarantee his safety?

We arranged a trial.

Trial of the ‌ master. This has precedent in the history of the ‌ clan. If a prospective ‌ master passes the trial and proves that he is strong enough, then he does not need to kill his own blood relatives. Hua Hengjing is very

Surprised and very happy, but he still let down his guard. He checked the information and repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the trial to the best of his ability - of course it was true, but we were not prepared for the real trial.

.

He can't even deal with the old hospital, how can he meet the standard to accept the trial?

But we pretended to give in, asked him to prepare for the trial, and told him that the old hospital was not looking for trouble and that we were also working hard to find a solution. This was not a lie. He acted very understanding. On the surface,

We each took a step back."

…

…

On the day of the trial, Hua Hengyi said goodbye to Hua Hengjing with a smile, wishing him to successfully pass the trial and become the master.

The trial site is located in a deep mountain with overlapping rocks. As long as Hua Hengjing can kill all the living creatures on Yao Mountain within one day, the old courtyard will consider him to have passed the trial. The air of Yao Mountain contains a

A toxin, long-term inhalation will cause biological mutation, and the monsters gathered here are ugly and ferocious in appearance. Similarly, it is difficult to find clean food and water sources on the mountain. Even so, Hua Hengjing killed the monsters in Yaoshan

It only took us less than two days. On the last day, he looked around to see if he had missed anything, and finally found a monster that had been dormant for a long time in the crack.

The surface of the monster's body is covered with bright red muscles. It has skin, and its whole body is covered with eyeballs. Hua Hengjing tried to attack in various ways, but the monster always came back to life when it was about to die. Hua Hengjing was lingering.

He was injured during the fight and gradually felt powerless. He forced himself to calm down and look for its weakness.

Hua Hengjing noticed that every time the monster was beaten to death, one of its eyeballs would be reduced. Realizing that the eyeballs might be a life-saving talisman for it, Hua Hengjing pierced it during the last attack.

All its eyeballs.

The monster was dead, and blood was flowing from its eyes.

Hua Hengjing relaxed and fell to his knees on the ground due to lack of strength. He finally passed the main trial. After returning to the hospital, he no longer had to be persecuted by the nursing home and could protect his younger brother honestly.
