Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 839
In a simple house, Shen Antong was packing his luggage in the room.

Stuffing frequently-used clothes into the suitcase all at once, the movements are swift but emotionless.

It wasn't until there were footsteps behind him that Shen Antong paused for a moment, turned his corner of the eye, and glanced over with some anticipation.But when she saw the pair of feet with exquisite embroidered shoes crossing the threshold, the light in her eyes quickly dimmed, and she retracted her gaze imperceptibly.

"Father won't come to see me off, right? It's okay, I'm used to it."

When she left the training class, no one came to pick her up.She stood alone at the gate, looking at those classmates who were taken back by their parents like babies, and hearing the booing and asking for warmth around her, she felt a little sour in her heart.

She has also experienced a period of hell life, and she has survived again and again. She is also very tired and needs someone to take care of her.But in the end, there is no such person.

Before Ye Shuo left, he asked her if he needed him to take him home, but she declined.

Later, when it rained, she held up an umbrella and waited for a long time before taking a step in the expected disappointment.

In order not to worry her mother, she concealed the fact of signing up for the training class at first, and the only person who knew about it was her father, but he would not come to pick her up.

Although to his father, his status has changed from that useless concubine to a child worthy of his pride, but in the final analysis, she is like a beautiful diamond. Willing to show off to others.If she shows a vulnerable side, it is like a diamond covered with flaws, and it no longer has the value of collection.

At this time, a middle-aged beautiful woman with a gentle face walked in slowly.The luxurious clothes still couldn't hide the melancholy between her brows and eyes.The makeup is simple and elegant, which subtly contradicts this resplendent mansion.

"Today, your sister is going to get married, and your father has a lot of things to do, so you have to understand him." The woman sighed, talking to herself.

The half-folded clothes in Shen Antong's hands suddenly slipped: "Why did you order in such a hurry?"

Shen's mother sighed and shook her head: "You also know that your father's recent business turnover has not been smooth, and he has always wanted to curry favor with the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce. Now he finally has the opportunity, President Cao's family wants to find a wife for his only son, Your father seized this opportunity...Chairman Cao, he is now the number one leader of the Lianghu Chamber of Commerce, if the two get married, he will definitely take care of him in the mall in the future."

"Well, your sister is about the same age as you. When you were still able to fight, she was already getting married early. Sometimes thinking about it, it's really embarrassing."

"How did this happen..." Shen Antong suddenly felt empty in his heart, even he didn't know where this inexplicable sadness came from, "Didn't the aunt say anything? Didn't she always love her sister the most?"

Shen's mother sighed: "She is in this family now, and her status is just like our mother and daughter back then. How can she have any right to speak? Of course, she has cried and made trouble, but what's the use? Your father, he always It's all about the same thing, not to mention it's about shopping malls this time, I just feel sorry for that child Zhichu..."

Shen Antong was speechless for a long time.At the beginning, the aunt and elder sister covered the sky with one hand in this family. It was because I tried my best to show myself in front of my father that I reversed the status of myself and my mother.If not, the one who married for the commercial marriage now should be me.

Obviously, her fate has been changed, and she has always been very happy to see her mother and daughter in distress, so now she should gloat over others' misfortune... But why, she suddenly felt panicked?

"An Tong, can you leave a few days later?" Shen's mother hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively, "At least, wait until you have attended your sister's wedding first?"

Shen Antong bit her lip, picked up the clothes at hand again, and suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart by packing her luggage.

"I have already signed up for the training course of the Heavenly Holy Kingdom. The course will start in these two days, and it will be too late."

Seemingly feeling that her tone was too cold, Shen Antong paused, turned around and gave her mother a hug, "Mother, take care of yourself."

"Then, before you leave, will you visit your sister?" Shen's mother then asked.

Shen Antong's eyes were lowered, and the long eyelashes cast a shadow.

"talk later."

……

Turning around several corridors, the shadows of the trees are faint, as if two different worlds are separated.

In an antique wing room, red ribbons are hung everywhere, and the festive atmosphere can be seen everywhere.

A woman in a wedding dress was sitting in front of the dressing table, maintaining a beautiful smile, and was doing her makeup in front of the mirror.

Wrapped in Chinese clothes, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbone, the pleats of the skirt flow like snow and moonlight on the ground. On the chest, thin powder is applied, which only adds color.

On the elegant jade face, there is a light plum blossom makeup, and on the originally clear and beautiful face, the immature greenness has faded, showing a trace of charm.

Putting down the rouge in her hand, looking at the painted red lips and another figure quietly appearing in the mirror, the woman in red smiled faintly.

"An Tong, you're here."

Lifting up half a bundle of long hair and lightly laying it by her hand, she seemed to be really appreciating herself in the mirror.

"Look, do I look good dressed like this?"

Shen Antong's eyes changed, and a few shadows scattered and gathered like dark clouds in the sky.

"Sister, is there really no room for change?"

"You can resist...you can run away from home! If you can't...can I help you persuade father?"

She also didn't know why she made these ridiculous opinions.Even the fact that she would come this way is ridiculous in itself!

The woman in red, Shen Zhichu smiled tactfully again.I don't know when, her voice is no longer as sharp as when she was a child, but a kind of vicissitudes with a mature charm.

"An Tong, I often think that our destiny seems to have been reversed. In the past, I could have whatever I wanted, but now, I can't even make decisions about my own marriage. The sky is full of ups and downs, and it's a great show. -"

"But I have to admit," she smiled and turned her head, "You have more wrists than me."

Shen Antong's eyes darkened again, and he opened his mouth, wanting to explain something.Seeing this, Shen Zhichu giggled instead.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you for saying this. I've also figured it out. People don't depend entirely on their origins to determine their fate. In terms of origins, I'm the daughter of the first wife, so what happens in the end? Are you a poor concubine?"

"Everyone says that a child who can cry has milk. In fact, it is useless just to be able to cry, you have to know how to please people..." She stared deeply at Shen Antong, "Just like you."

Shen Antong was speechless.Indeed, it was she who tried her best to turn herself into a lovable child.Then, as long as she has pear blossoms with rain and a few insinuations, she can achieve the goal of hitting the mother and daughter.She has been doing this all these years.

It was him who stole her life step by step, and now, she was even marrying for herself.

"I just want to protect myself, I don't want to hurt you."

Shen Antong defended palely.She suddenly discovered that her ability to "talk to people when you see people, talk to ghosts when you see people" seems to have lost its effectiveness all of a sudden.Of course she can continue to fake cry, continue to pretend to be pitiful, and talk about how innocent she is, but in front of that mirror, she feels that all her performances cannot hide.

In that mirror, two women who are more beautiful than Huajiao are reflected.One, young and young, one, with charming makeup, but it is already so vicissitudes.This is all his own sin.

Yes, her starting point has always been to protect herself.But in the process of protecting herself, how many people did she hurt...

Shen Zhichu followed her gaze, also staring at the bronze mirror, and suddenly smiled again.

"Let's not talk about this. By the way, An Tong, are you in love?"

Shen Antong was startled, this time he was even more embarrassed than before: "How do you know?"

Shen Zhichu lightly propped his chin with one hand, and looked at her from the mirror, as if evaluating a work of art:

"You have become softer. Maybe you didn't notice it yourself, but you are no longer that eloquent kitten. You even start to sympathize with me."

Maybe it was because the gaze in the mirror was too sharp, Shen Antong lowered her head a little at a loss, now she is like a child whose mind has been seen through.

"Actually, I can't say it is... there is just one person, I like him very much, but we haven't..."

"I haven't made it clear to him yet, and I don't know what he thinks..."

At the beginning, she managed to get the appreciation of the two patrol envoys, but for his sake, she chose to stay.But he just said coldly, you should go with them, that would be good for everyone.

On the day I left the training class, I was waiting for my family, and at the same time, I was always waiting for him.Even if he couldn't take the initiative to send him home like Ye Shuo did, as long as he could have a word of concern, it would be enough...

After finally waiting for the primary election, she mustered up the courage to send him a text message.In the meantime, I wrote and deleted, deleted and continued to write, and it took a few hours to correct it.But what he replied to himself was just a simple "good luck".On the contrary, the short message I sent to Ye Shuo received a long reply, which was full of concern and blessings.

"Since you have someone you like, then cherish it." Shen Zhichu smiled, "At least, you still have the right to choose freely."

Shen Antong raised his eyes, dragged the stool beside him and sat down.

"Sister, you want to marry Young Master Cao, but you haven't even met him, and you don't know what kind of person he is. Will you be happy with him like this?"

Shen Zhichu smiled, the smile was peaceful and peaceful: "How to put it, happiness doesn't necessarily mean only marrying the person you like."

"If being with someone I like, day after day, makes me watch him become a little bit of what I don't like. It's better to be with someone I didn't like before, and then watch him grow slowly. Be what I like."

Shen Antong's eyes widened, and he wrung his fingers again like a child: "Then, will he and I also..."

Shen Zhichu smiled and stroked her hair: "Silly girl, you are so cunning, as long as you want, there is nothing you can't do. In the future, you will definitely be a good girlfriend and wife."

Hearing the beating of gongs and drums outside the door, Shen Zhichu turned his eyes slightly, tilted his palms, and gently picked up the red hijab on the table.

"The bridal sedan chair for welcoming the new year is coming. Although I still want to chat with you a few more words, but I don't have time. Think about our past, those best times, which were always noisy..."

"But thinking about it now, it makes people miss it." After a long while, she added softly.

He raised his head lightly, and let out a long breath, as if he wanted to breathe the last breath of free air before covering his head.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not bad to get married sooner! When you were just a stupid girl, chasing pure dreams and making troubles all over your head, I might already have children and a complete family. After all, I was one step ahead of you."

"Start looking forward to it. In a few years, you will be an aunt."

Shen Antong knew that she was pretending to be rash, just to comfort herself and relieve her guilt.Such a good person, naturally, she can't just let her do it alone——

Thinking of this, Shen Antong also skillfully smiled: "Well, sister, at least you have to promise me that people who walk out of our house will never be bullied! Even if you marry into the Cao family, you have to be a The best town house lady!"

The two looked at each other, seeming to have a tacit understanding, and hugged each other tightly.Years of hostility and misunderstanding were finally completely released at this moment.

***
In the long and secluded hall, Chu Tianyao followed closely behind the Lord Jiuyou, his heart beating wildly like a drum.

What he is about to meet is the true god of heaven and earth, the master of the heavenly palace who has shown supreme prestige in the publicity!

Even among the direct descendants of Tianxiao Pavilion and Jiuyou Palace, there are very few who can have this honor. It is precisely because of this that he is even more eager to strive for performance.Every bone in the body is trembling, the blood is rushing, and it seems to be back in the past, when the Venerable led him for the first time to meet the Hall Master...

As soon as he stepped into the room at the end, the master of Jiuyou Hall first saluted, and Chu Tianyao was even more conscious, and fell to his knees without saying a word.

"See you sir!"

After a while, he dared to raise his head quietly, and looked at the figure sitting on the throne.

The red hair is like fire, flaunting wantonly in the blood, the eyes are cold and calm, like ancient jade that has been deposited for thousands of years.The slightly loose skirt is like a temptation from the depths of hell, blurred and noble.

Just at this glance, Chu Tianyao felt a "buzz" in his head, and the endless God of Order circulated in front of him.What made him even more terrified was that he felt that he had been seen through.The elegant mask of self-protection in front of others has only become a decoration.

A layer of red light quietly flashed across Tiangong Master's eyes, and then quickly disappeared.Looking at Chu Tianyao, he spoke slowly, with a gentle smile in his voice.

"Don't be so nervous. It's not a mistake yet."

Even the teasing tone has a special calmness.

Chu Tianyao was still trembling.It is said that the owner of the Heavenly Palace is a god, and mortals cannot hide secrets in front of gods.My deepest buried, dark, and evil thoughts seemed to have been completely dug out and left to dry in the sun.Before he knew it, he was already dripping with cold sweat.

"Bring him here, what do you mean? Give it to me?" The owner of Tiangong swept his eyes and smiled lightly.

The Lord of Jiuyou Hall had already stood beside the throne, but to show respect, he still cautiously placed at the bottom.

"My lord is joking, I just want to ask for a reward on his behalf."

"Tianyao is the youngest Ninth Venerable in our Nine Nether Palace, and he has a bright future. Don't you think, what should I reward him for?"

The owner of Tiangong slanted his finger on the throne, tapped it casually a few times, and said with a smile: "I usually give you very little rewards? Why do you want to ask for rewards in a different way?"

"The youngest, um, that's a good reason. Then next time, do you still want to say that Xiao Liangzi is the most beautiful, and ask for some reward?"

The communication between the two of them seemed to be separated by a layer of distorted space, and Chu Tianyao couldn't even hear a sentence clearly.He could only vaguely see that they talked casually and laughed freely.It seems that rumors from the outside world say that the Palace Master is the most appreciated in front of the gods, and what he said is true.

Then, according to the primary election items, Chu Tianyao also made some reports.Although the master of Tiangong has always been easy-going, not like communicating with superiors and subordinates, but just chatting with friends, but because of his status as a god, Chu Tianyao has never dared to slack off.

After he finished his report and bowed to leave, the Lord of Jiuyou Hall glanced at his back and asked softly, "What do you think of Tianyao?"

The master of Tiangong smiled, "That's right, he is indeed a talent."

"But he is born rebellious, you should pay attention."

The underlying meaning is that no matter which master he follows, it will not be too long.

The master of Jiuyou Palace had a murderous intent in his eyes: "Then why not kill him now to avoid future troubles!"

He will never have any doubts about what adults say.No matter how talented a subordinate is, if he is not loyal, it will be useless to keep him!When it is broken, it is his habit for many years.

A glimmer of haze flashed across Tiangong Master's eyes, and he quickly raised his hand to grab his arm.Then he raised his eyes slowly, and seemed to sigh.

"Mu Shan, you forgot everything I told you back then, right?"

Hall Master Jiuyou's whole body shook violently, and his pupils shrank sharply at the same time.

This name...it's been a long time, and no one has called him like that...
