Chapter 255 The Miserable Brother and Sister (1/2)

Chapter 255 The miserable brother and sister

After leaving the room, Ning Wuxie lowered his head and said nothing, and walked quickly out of the palace. Xuan'er tried to catch up, but found that Ning Wuxie was walking faster and faster, so she pulled his arm.

"Brother." She called.

Ning Wuxie paused, stopped and waited for her, and forced a smile on his face.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Xuan'er keenly felt that Ning Wuxie was in a bad mood, and asked close to him.

"Nothing." Ning Wuxie turned his face away, but Xuan'er stretched out her hand to stop him and pulled him back.

"Something's wrong!" Xuan'er pouted and looked into Ning Wuxie's eyes, staring at Ning Wuxie with a pair of eyes, as if she wanted to pull out his troubled emotions directly.

"Are you feeling bad?" She asked softly.

"No," Ning Wuxie said with a relaxed tone, smiling, "How can I feel bad? I feel very comfortable!"

He grinned, but his brows were slightly wrinkled, revealing a somewhat contradictory smile, and pointed to Li Luobing's door: "Who is that? That's our enemy! The enemy who killed me in my previous life!"

"I wish I could torture and humiliate her until she breaks down mentally and kneels down to beg me!" Ning Wuxie said indignantly.

"But isn't she like this now..." Xuan'er held Ning Wuxie's hand in front of her and whispered, "Look at her just now, she is not as arrogant as before, I was shocked."

"Or, you are not satisfied with that, how else do you want to torture her?"

Xuan'er looked at Ning Wuxie with a strange look in her eyes: "She is a woman, how are you going to torture her? Are you going to torture her in various ways? You don't look like someone who would do that."

After Xuan'er's words, Ning Wuxie felt a little guilty, pursed his lips and stopped talking, but the annoyance in his heart was lingering.

For some reason, he suddenly felt annoyed when he saw Li Luobing completely collapse and beg for mercy.

This was not heartache or sympathy, but a kind of resentment. He felt that it shouldn't be like this and that it was not satisfying enough.

"No," Ning Wuxie suddenly thought of something, "Why did she only apologize to me and not to you?"

"She is obviously the culprit who killed you, so she has to apologize to you!"

"What are you talking about!" Xuan'er pulled Ning Wuxie, "Are you going to tell her about our rebirth?" She whispered.

"She apologized to you because she tried to assassinate you before, not because she killed you. How did Li Luobing know that she killed us at this time?"

Ning Wuxie frowned, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "That won't work... I'll let her apologize to you."

"Oh, what's wrong with you..." Xuan'er became more and more worried, and pulled Ning Wuxie, wanting to continue asking clearly.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the corridor of the palace in front of the two. The person was shocked when he saw Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er, and then shouted: "Benefactor!"

Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er stopped pulling and found that it was Wei Mingrong.

Wei Mingrong trotted forward and bowed to the ground. Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er couldn't hold her.

"Thank you for saving my brother and sister's lives. From now on, we will repay you like cows and horses..." When she saw Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er, Wei Mingrong's expression immediately became excited. She shouted and kowtowed in a crying tone.

Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er helped her up and comforted her.

"Where is your brother? How is he now?"

"My brother has gone crazy, but fortunately he can recognize me..." Wei Mingrong looked a little sad, but she pretended to be strong in front of the two, "At least he listens to me very much. It should be no problem to take care of his life in the future." She raised her hand to wipe her tears and squeezed out a smile.

"You will live here from now on, it's okay." Ning Wuxie patted her shoulder, "It should be no problem to let you and your brother have no worries about food and clothing."

"Thank you, benefactor." Wei Mingrong was about to bow again, but was supported by Ning Wuxie. She stood up and asked carefully, "Benefactor, what exactly is this place?"

"Here... is a small world I refined, which is equivalent to a different space parasitic on the main world outside, but it is attached to my body with me as a link." Ning Wuxie said, "After all, it is a small world, not as wide as the Lingwu Continent, but it is big enough. Tens of thousands of people in Tianming City can live and work in peace, and you can too."

Wei Mingrong's eyes widened in surprise: "The small world in the body... is really unheard of."

"I grew up in the Wei Mansion since I was a child, and I have seen many cultivators who followed my father, but I have never seen someone like you... who can actually be the master of a world!" Wei Mingrong's eyes were full of admiration.

Ning Wuxie smiled and comforted her again, asking her not to worry, and Tianming City can help her meet any needs.

"Mingrong doesn't dare to ask for anything else, but there is one more thing..." Wei Mingrong hesitated for a moment and said embarrassedly: "I know I shouldn't ask, after all, my life was given by my benefactor..."

"I want to ask...what happened outside in the end? Did you kill Zhang Wanyang?"

"I saw your divine beast move the traitorous woman of the human sect back, what about Zhang Wanyang?" Wei Mingrong's eyes were full of expectation.

Even though she knew that asking Ning Wuxie for one more thing would be asking for more, her desire for revenge still made her ask.

Ning Wuxie was silent for a while, "Zhang Wanyang, he hasn't been killed yet."

Wei Mingrong was stunned, then her eyes dimmed, she lowered her head, and didn't know what to say.

"I still have some use for Zhang Wanyang now, and I can't kill him right now."

"But don't worry, at least you and your sister are safe here now, and no one can hurt you."

Wei Mingrong nodded, "I understand that the benefactor has his own considerations. We are able to meet each other alive in this life, and we have no regrets in death. There is no need for us to disturb the benefactor's plan."

Ning Wuxie waved his hand hurriedly, indicating that it was not the case.

"Two benefactors, can you come with me to see my brother? I think I have to let him thank you in person, so that I can feel at ease."

At this time, there was nothing to do, and it was still early for the dinner the next day that the ancestor of the Zhao family said. Ning Wuxie nodded, just in time to arrange for the Wei family brothers and sisters.

The two followed Mingrong and walked to another room on the second floor of the palace. The palace is quite large, and Ning Wuxie had not visited the second floor of the service hall before, so he took a look at it at the same time.

Although Ning Wuxie passed on the room construction methods of humans on land to the people of Tianming City, some habits and aesthetics inherited from the ancient Xia Dynasty were still retained, and combined with these advanced standards, creating an architectural style that is both practical and ancient.

Although this government affairs palace is very grand, considering that Ning Wuxie does not work here and rarely lives here, Chongjue finally built a huge two-story single palace building under his design. The first floor is a spacious hall similar to the emperor's morning court, and the second floor is a U-shaped corridor with many small rooms distributed around it. Chongjue and some maids of the government affairs palace live here, and more rooms are empty, used as needed, stacked with materials or sundries.

And since this is not a palace for the king, Chongjue has never changed the name, calling it the government affairs palace, just a place for him to handle official business.

The three of them walked along the corridor to another room. As soon as Wei Mingrong opened the door, they heard a strange cry in the room, and then a thump of something hitting the ground.

Wei Mingrong hurriedly walked in, only to see a head sticking out from behind the bed, carefully looking at the door, seeing that it was Wei Mingrong, Wei Mingli stood up suddenly, and fell on the bed because he had only one leg.

But he still looked up at Wei Mingrong, grinning foolishly.

"Rong'er, hehe... Rong'er is here..."

When he saw Ning Wuxie, his eyes lit up: "Meat pie! Meat pie is here too! Meat pie is delicious..."

"Brother!" Wei Mingrong was startled and walked forward quickly, "This is our benefactor, not some meat pie!"

"It's meat pie, delicious meat pie..." Wei Mingli was helped by his sister to turn over and lie on the bed. He looked at his sister and then at Ning Wuxie, and his face was almost smiling.

He looked happier than anyone else in the world.

"Sorry, benefactor, my brother is a fool after all..." Wei Mingrong was a little embarrassed.

"Haha, it's okay," Ning Wuxie laughed, "maybe I gave him too many meat pies at Xihong Market."

He and Xuan'er walked closer and looked at Wei Mingli's empty right arm sleeve and his only left foot, and couldn't help feeling pity in their hearts.

It's okay to be a lunatic, but his body is so disabled, it's hard to imagine how he survived so many years.

Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er have both seen people at the bottom of society. In the slums, such people often appear. The lunatics or disabled beggars curled up on the roadside are generally one of them. Such people can often be seen in summer and autumn, but they disappear in winter.

Then in the summer of the second year, he did not appear, and he was never seen again in the summers thereafter.

Ning Wuxie naturally knew the ending of these people.

But this Wei Mingli was crazy and disabled, but he could live for so many years, which was simply a miracle.

Only the phrase "still alive" that he often said could explain it.

Wei Mingrong noticed Ning Wuxie's gaze and said sadly: "Twenty years ago, when I desperately squeezed my brother out of the dog hole, my brother was still healthy and clear-headed, but now..."

She looked sad and reached out to touch Wei Mingli's head: "I don't know what he has been through all these years."

Ning Wuxie understood that he had fallen into such a situation during his wandering. It was really an extremely dark experience, which was simply unimaginable.

"Rong'er," Wei Mingli seemed to feel Wei Mingrong's sadness, and he was a little anxious. He grabbed his sister's hand and whispered, "I'm still alive..."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Mingrong couldn't hold back her tears any longer, and they burst out of her eyes and flowed down her cheeks, "Yeah, brother is still alive, so great!"

She wiped her tears embarrassedly and explained to Ning Wuxie and the others, "When I saved him, the last thing I told him was to live, and he must live."

"I said that if I saw him coming to me in the underworld, I would never recognize him."

"He has always spoiled me since he was a child, the kind that I bullied him with," Wei Mingrong smiled and squeezed out more tears, "so he still listened to me."

Wei Mingli used his only left hand to wipe his sister's tears, and whispered "still alive" in his mouth, as if he thought it was a lullaby that could coax people.

Seeing this scene, Ning Wuxie couldn't help but pursed his lips. It was so miserable... How much the world had tortured this pair of relatives.

He glanced at Xuan'er, who had been silent for a long time, but her eyes were red, and tears were flowing silently, dripping down from her chin. Seeing Ning Wuxie looking at her, she turned around and wiped her tears.

"It's God's will. Your brother has been living according to your words. Even if he goes crazy, he still has to survive. But you didn't die. Instead, you were kidnapped by Zhang Wanyang and became your adopted daughter." Ning Wuxie sighed.

"Why didn't he kill you?"

"I was only eight years old at the time... A collapsed house crushed me before the killer found me. I was hit on the head and passed out. But I was lucky. When I woke up a few days later, I was still killed by Zhang Wan. Foreigners caught me, but I didn’t remember anything at that time except that my name was Wei Mingrong.”

"Zhang Wanyang didn't kill me, but added me to his righteous daughter group." Wei Mingrong showed a hint of hatred, her eyes full of contempt.

"It was only later that I grew up and recovered the memories of those years. From then on, I served him more obediently just to collect evidence... But I am a mortal after all. Even if I knew that he was my enemy, there was nothing I could do."

Wei Mingrong lowered her head, and then looked at Ning Wuxie with gratitude: "Thanks to my benefactor, I brought my brother back to me and rescued me." There was a cry in her words again, "Otherwise, after all these years, I was trapped in that inner courtyard. I didn’t know that my brother was in Qian City, more than ten miles away..."

As she was about to kneel down again, Xuan'er quickly supported her, her eyes were red and she said emotionally: "Sister Rong, please don't thank me. Ning Wuxie and I are also brothers and sisters, but they are different from you. We are not Dear...and we are still Taoist couples, that's because...anyway..."

The more Xuan'er talked, the more stuck she got, and she got involved in the explanation. Ning Wuxie quickly made a break: "We are sworn brothers and sisters, and we can empathize with you very much."

"Yes!" Xuan'er nodded.

Wei Mingrong looked at Ning Wuxie and Xuan'er gratefully, "This is really destined."

Ning Wuxie asked again: "What's going on with that righteous girl group? Are you all the queens of the soldiers he killed?"

"Most of them are, and some are bought by him," Wei Mingrong said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. We are just playthings he bought to satisfy his perverted desires. Look at the clothes he puts on us..."

"Then why do you say he is an eunuch...?" Ning Wuxie asked again. He actually cared about this question. During the previous battle, Zhang Wanyang flew into the air to release the seal and climbed to the Nascent Soul realm. He obviously didn't look like he had no such job.

"Zhang Wanyang has to stay in the Xuan Qin court to be his national advisor for some reasons. Generally speaking, Confucian disciples who serve as high-ranking officials in the court are not very advanced. You know that, my dear benefactor."

Ning Wuxie nodded. He knew this. After all, high cultivation meant that it was difficult to control. Confucian disciples had great power in the court and were individually strong. Wouldn't they defy heaven? It was too threatening to the imperial power.

Therefore, the higher the power of a general minister, the lower his cultivation level. This is considered to meet the needs of the emperor, the ministers, and the cultivators who pursue combat power. Real cultivators are not willing to interfere with those troublesome mundane political affairs.

"So, he used some secret method to seal his cultivation, and the price was... to temporarily become a eunuch. Don't you see that he doesn't even have a child? His wife may not have been with him for more than ten years. Move over."

"Although he is not a man, this guy still wants to satisfy his perverted desires, so he raised our group of people."

Ning Wuxie suddenly realized that the secret method of sealing and the sorcery that allowed him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm at the age of forty must have been given to him by Tianxu. It's even possible that this is the same skill, and the cost of using the power of the Nascent Soul is to be a eunuch.

He did not doubt whether Zhang Wanyang could really cultivate to Yuanying on his own and reach the Immortal Realm in his early forties. If it were Li Luobing or Xuan'er, he might still believe it, but Zhang Wanyang was unlikely. .

Wei Mingrong asked Wei Mingli to kneel down and thank Ning Wuxie and Ning Wuxie. Wei Mingli knelt on the bed and kowtowed without thinking. He also looked at Ning Wuxie and giggled, muttering about meat pie and meat pie.

Ning Wuxie comforted him again and told him that he would give him something 10,000 times more delicious than meatloaf in the evening. Wei Mingli didn't understand what ten thousand times meant, but after Wei Mingrong's explanation, he became even happier and clapped his hands like a child.

Ning Wuxie asked Wei Mingrong to live here, and he could do some work as a maid, or he could do some business in the city. Don't worry about that Li Luobing.

After settling in for a while, Ning Wuxie said goodbye to Xuan'er, walked out of the room to the first floor, and came to the square in front of the Government Affairs Hall.

Xuan'er was obviously still immersed in the life experience of these tragic brothers and sisters, her eyes were red, and she was sobbing from time to time.

Ning Wuxie pulled her to face him and wiped away her tears with his hands. I was obviously very depressed just now, but now when I face the crying Xuan'er, I no longer feel depressed. I just want to comfort her.

"Brother, we must survive too."

"Who in the world can kill us? How strong we are."

"If one day only one of you and I can survive, I will do the same to save you..."

"I won't let that day happen. If it does happen, I will definitely die with you." Ning Wuxie said seriously.

Xuan'er lay in Ning Wuxie's arms and gradually felt much better.
