Road edge float

Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

At night in Yujing City, thousands of houses are lit up, making it very lively.

Outside the "Qubo Courtyard", beyond an inner wall carved with six arts, is the gray and white outer wall of the Fu family mansion.

The noise from the street was blocked by the flowers and trees lining the inner and outer walls, so it couldn't come here.But the tall myrtle can't completely block the line of sight. Standing a little higher, you don't need an extraordinarily wide field of vision to clearly see a corner of the city.

Yan Kaiting did just that.He squatted on the roof, looking at the scene of red fire beyond the two walls.

The streets were crowded with people, shoulders rubbing against each other, and the lights were burning like daylight, as if the whole city had poured onto the road.Every eve of the "Magic Moment" is a festival of carnival in the city. No one knows that after the tide of monsters and beasts passes, a few familiar faces will disappear from the laughing crowd.

Looking back at the Fu family's mansion, there is another grand scene.Around dinner time is the busiest time for Zhongming Dingshi House. People who went out for business during the day have come back. Almost every building is lit up. The corridors are dotted with people carrying lanterns.No one could be heard talking loudly, the voices reverberating in the night sky were musical instruments, birds returning to their nests, and occasionally the clashes of weapons floating from the martial arts arena.

Yan Kaiting changed into a stone blue robe, which was obviously not his style of clothing.At this moment, for the convenience of squatting, he lifted up his hem and tucked it in the jade belt around his waist. If he didn't look at those valuable accessories, he would be no different from a gangster collecting protection fees a few streets away.

He is holding a piece of "Clarity Paper" in both hands. If his eyes can be focused, it may be mistaken for him to think about his homework seriously.This homework paper was sent by Fu Mingxuan along with the robe he was wearing.

So, why did he continue to write this "Theory on Liberation" instead of going to the martial arts arena to loosen his muscles and bones after eating, eating snacks, and taking a shower?
A breeze blew, and someone chuckled in the ear, "How does the dim sum taste?"

Yan Kaiting said lazily: "It's not dragon liver and phoenix marrow. The presentation is very unique. After tasting it, it's just like that."

Fu Mingxuan took the paper from Yan Kaiting's hand, and found that under the ink-stained word "foreign object", there were more charcoal traces from lightning. Looking carefully, it was the word "introduction".

"Has Xia Pingsheng been here?" Fu Mingxuan asked.

"Yeah, I made this trip on purpose just to scold me." Yan Kaiting stretched.

Fu Mingxuan smiled and said, "Good training."

Yan Kaiting was suddenly discouraged, fell back, and lay down directly on the roof, with his left hand behind his head, and said after a long while: "As an outsider, my stepmother brought him here, he treats me well. He doesn't like it. Me, but in terms of cultivation and refining, you still teach me, even my own father doesn't care...hehe." Yan Kaiting didn't finish his sentence, but only left a self-deprecating smile.

Fu Mingxuan sat down beside him and didn't speak.

Anyone with eyes in Yujing City knows that the Yan family's housework is a mess.However, although the two have been close since childhood, in fact Yan Kaiting did not complain to him.He has been away for a long time, and many things can only be said to be rumors, and there is no way to persuade him for a while.Besides, what Yan Kaiting needs is not a few words of comfort.

Yan Kaiting turned his eyes to the endless and deep night sky, only to feel that today's mood is extremely turbulent.Even galloping on the beautiful body of a beautiful woman can only divert attention for a while. When the pure physical pleasure fades away, the rage in my heart will become more violent.

His mother died when he was one year old.Almost all of my childhood memories are in the Fu family, that was the most carefree and beautiful day without knowing any dangers.Playful children will not notice that there has never been teaching and discipline from their fathers.

Later, his father remarried, and his stepmother was amazingly beautiful and talented, and it was she who brought Xia Pingsheng into the Yan family.It was only after Yan Kaiting became sensible that she realized that she should be a very respectable and noble woman, but she didn't know why she settled down in a mundane city like Yujing.

Mrs. Ji's temperament is extremely calm, and she doesn't have much interaction with Yan Kaiting.She neither fulfilled her duties as a mother, nor acted to exclude the eldest son.The only thing that had an impact was probably getting Xia Pingsheng to teach Yan to practice in court.

Thinking about it afterward, Yan Kaiting felt that his father might not like this connection, but he was stubborn and unruly at the time, and Xia Pingsheng was not a person who could order at will, so that was it.

The first time he really felt his father's dislike was when it was rumored that Mrs. Ji was going to give birth.The atmosphere in Yan Mansion was very strange throughout the year, the servants whispered, and his father turned from indifference to disgust towards his stubbornness.There was a rumor that began to spread quietly that the inheritance right of the Yan Mansion would not be left to the eldest son who was ignorant and inexperienced.

And this rumor brought to light the old and new contradictions that had long existed within the "Heavenly Creation" of the Craftsman's Mansion.Only then did Yan Kaiting know that the real owner of "Tiangong Kaiwu" was his mother, and his father's surname also came from his mother.

In the end, until Mrs. Ji passed away, there was no man and half woman left behind.As a result, the undercurrent of discussing the inheritance rights of "Tiangong Kaiwu" disappeared without a trace.

However, the factional disputes caused by this matter in the Craftsman's Mansion did not subside, but intensified as time went by.Originally, this had nothing to do with Yan Kaiting, and he had not seriously joined the family business until he was 15 years old.

The trigger was the expulsion of Tang Guanshi's family.That was his mother's former head of the Yan Mansion. After Xia Ping was born, he went to "Tiangong Kaiwu" to be the steward. He was also one of the few old people in the Yan Mansion who still kept in touch with Yan Kaiting.

The reason for the expulsion was that it was discovered that he was enriching his own pocket during the audit of the accounts.

Many things happened in those few days, and Yan Kaiting only had a few clear pictures in his memory.

When the Tang family convoy was discovered in the wilderness, among the broken pieces of the compartments and cages, 36 people, men, women and children were eaten by ferocious beasts until only bones remained.

He went to his father to argue, and when he was thrown into the Yan family ancestral hall, his father hit him on the chest, breaking the palm that broke two ribs.

And when Xia Pingsheng found him from the ruins of the ancestral hall, everyone discovered that "Tai Chu Hammer" had formed a contract with him, and his father's eyes could not be mistaken for his killing intent.

Everyone thought that the collapse of the Yan family's ancestral hall was caused by the out-of-control energy released by the town's treasure "Tai Chu Hammer" after finding its natal master.

But Yan Kaiting always felt that he had forgotten something, as long as he thought about that night for a while, his blood boiled and roared uncontrollably.Sometimes he would dream all night long about the battlefield of fierce fighting, faceless comrades standing side by side, and monsters sweeping forward like a black tide.

In contrast, the "Magic Moment" that happens every three to five years in mainland cities is like a babbling stream.

It has been a long time since he recalled the past.Today, I don’t know why, the past can’t be stopped, but the missing memory is still gone, only the terrible shadow left remains the same.But even if he is as close as Fu Mingxuan, he is unwilling to tell, it will make him feel too weak, and he will be afraid of bringing disaster to those close to him again.

Yan Kaiting let out a heavy breath, and exhaled a small ball of lightning with purple lightning, "Life is a son of a bitch."

Fu Mingxuan watched the ball of thunder and fire condense in the air, burning slowly until it was extinguished, "Is the road of thunder and fire? This road is not easy to walk."

Yan Kaiting said: "It's not as difficult as your sword cultivation path, and if I can't pass the barrier, I can't see anything. After all, your number shouldn't be taken casually, right? What is Hanzhou? mean?"

The more authentic the Taoist sect, the more particular about the name, even if there is no name, it can't be called something majestic like a common casual cultivator.

Fu Mingxuan said: "My sword intent, one sword light chills the nineteen continents."

Yan Kaiting was stunned, "The world is divided into nine states, where are the nineteen states?"

Fu Mingxuan also lay down on his back beside him, pointed to the sky, and said: "There may be another world outside this world, maybe there are nineteen continents."
