Gu Ci's condition was not good. His body was covered with tiny bloody cuts and... traces of ghost energy corrosion.

Those bloody wounds were basically cut by Ying Shiyue with a mahogany sword. If he was just an ordinary living person, these wounds alone would be enough to kill him.

But, he is not, he is the boss of Liming Haunted House, a powerful ghost who was forcibly promoted.

The areas corroded by the ghost energy are growing back little by little, and his new flesh is even whiter than before. It’s just that this kind of whiteness is very unhealthy. It’s not the cold white that is popular today, but looks like a dead body.

So pale.

"Damn it! Is this guy unkillable?" Ying Eryue looks a bit like Ying Sanyue, but he doesn't have Ying Sanyue's temperament. His whole person looks very cold, and the nasolabial folds on both sides are very heavy. He is angry at the moment.

He stood up and frowned tightly, unable to open his eyes.

Ying Shiyue didn't say anything. He was unwilling to participate in this operation in the first place.

However, the patriarch, who was always kind, just, and serious, actually knelt down and begged him to come.

"Sir 'Phantom' has promised that as long as we deal with the boss of Dawn Haunted House, he will no longer perform blood sacrifice rituals in the next ten years and will directly give us blessings! It's October, even if you don't like giving blessings, you have to think about your mother.

Come on! Your mother is not a member of the Ying family, has no cultivation talent, and often self-mutilates and has many hidden wounds on her body. If she continues like this, she won’t live long at all. Do you really want her to die early? As long as you kill Li Ming

As the owner of the haunted house, she can get the greatest blessing, extend her life, and maybe even get the talent for cultivation! She can transcend the mortal body and practice with us!"

Faced with the clan leader's request, he did not agree.

He indeed hopes that his mother can live longer. However, if he kills innocent people in order to save his mother's life, what is the difference between him and Ying Jitao and the others whom he despises?

"You don't want to kill, right? Then let's do this... The day after tomorrow, if you don't bring back the head of the owner of the haunted house, I will kill your mother first, and then dig your father's grave. It's useless for you to be an elder.

However, it is still okay to kill two people from your hands. How about it? Do you choose to protect outsiders you don’t know, or choose your mother to live a long life? "

Ying October felt that the whole world had collapsed.

The last time he and Muke met, Muke said that she did not believe that the patriarch of the Ying family was a good person. However, at that time, he tried his best to clear the name of the patriarch.

Because the patriarch... is the only person he can trust.

He once naively thought that the Ying family, a century-old Celestial Master family, should be pure and flawless with white snow on the mountains.

And the March brother he admires the most is the snow lotus on the snow mountain.

But what did he see?

It was a bloody sacrifice.

The sacrifice in that sacrifice was his most respected brother.

The brother who rubbed his head, taught him propriety, integrity, family mottos, and taught him that blood is thicker than water, died in the hands of his closest relatives.

In fact, in the entire Ying family, the person closest to Ying October is not his mother or the patriarch, but Ying March.

Just like what Ying Sanyue once said to Chen Jie.

——"I raised him."

Ying Shiyue's mother is still alive, but since he was a child, his mother has not cared much about him and only wants to leave with his dead father.

The young one should spend ten months cooking, practicing, and studying by himself. He should also be vigilant at all times to prevent his mother from committing suicide at any time.

Ever since he could remember, he had never felt any love from others.

He is always very tired, and some things that should not be his burden are placed on his shoulders.

"Child, what you made...is it edible?"

Ying Shiten still remembers that day, when he was cooking porridge, he was lifted off the stool. The man pushed away the stool he was tiptoing on, took a taste of the porridge, and immediately lifted up his snow-white Tianshi uniform and said:

"Let you try my craftsmanship, brother."

Then, he saw the man raise the mahogany sword he wore and began to chop onions.

It was a bowl of white porridge with various ingredients.

Even if you throw away your conscience and honesty in October, the taste of that bowl of porridge is terrible.

However, his life is already very bad, and a bowl of unpalatable porridge is very rare for him.

After all, his mother has never been in the kitchen since his father left.

To use a common saying nowadays, Ying Sanyue was his light. But this ray of light came in by breaking the window paper of his house.

His family owes Ying Sanyue's family a lot of money.

However, the creditor saw that he was too young, so he did not ask for the debt, and even said that they were all a family, so forget it.

From that day on, his creditor, the man in white, would come to visit from time to time carrying various things.

"Look, I bought a new mahogany sword! Buy the big one and get a small one for free! I'll leave the small one for you to play with."

Ying October knew that there was no store near Ying’s home that would buy large items and give small ones free.

The so-called "buy big and get small" is just an excuse for Ying March to let him accept the things with peace of mind.

However, this "buy big and get small" thing gradually started to become outrageous.

It doesn’t matter if you buy a large-size Celestial Master’s uniform and you get a small-size one. If you buy a large-size shoe, you get a small-size one. Why do you get admission to a junior school when you go to a high-level school?

Brother, when you make up lies, you can try to be more careful.

Although Ying October is old-fashioned, he is not stupid and he knows Ying March's good intentions.

In the face of these good intentions, what we should do is not to refuse or feel ashamed, but to accept them, make good use of them, and repay the kindness in the future.

He participated in the new October selection of the Ying family and was selected.

That was the first time he met the clan leader.

The patriarch in his imagination was an old man with white hair and beard, and an air of immortality, but the actual patriarch was a handsome uncle wearing a half-mask.

The patriarch touched his head affectionately and said that he was very talented. He was the most talented young man in recent years, except for Ying March.

The Ying family's rankings from January to October are not ranked by ability, but by age. Many people say that if they really want to be ranked, he should be only second in talent to Ying March.

People often say that the first is the most brilliant, the second is often forgotten.

However, for Ying Shiyue, this ranking is the best. Number one is always the brother he respects and is most grateful to. It is his greatest honor to be number two and next to his brother.

However, the person he admired most, the rare genius of the Ying family, died miserably like that...

He died at the hands of the person he had been protecting.
