After I became an immortal in Uchimaki, I went from being a loser to becoming a group favorite.

Nangong Xun initially just wanted to join the army by himself.

It's just that he hid it from everyone, but not from Master Jueqi, who had been with him since childhood.

"I'm not a child anymore, why do you have to follow me everywhere?"

On the way, Nangong Xun was still mumbling about this matter.

"Madam asked me to protect you before she died." Jue Qi, dressed in black, followed Nangong Xun, her tone as straight and dull as ever.

In fact, Xiao Hei doesn't want Jue Qi to come either.

Tang Ling felt that Xiao Hei seemed to like Jue Qi very much. This may be related to the fact that he was saved and taught martial arts by Jue Qi when he was in Nangong Ling's body.

Therefore, on the way to find Nangong Ling, Xiao Hei cast spells many times to change Jue Qi's dreams, transformed him into various characters in his dreams to persuade Jue Qi to go back, and also showed him the horror of war scenes.

But Jueqi didn't go back.

And he had no intention of persuading Nangong Xun to go back.

Mentioning his dead mother, Nangong Xun didn't speak for a while. The two of them were lighting a fire to grill fish by the lake. Nangong Xun bit off a piece of fish meat and chewed it for a long time before swallowing it. However, he did not take another bite, but looked at it. Jue Qi glanced at him.

Jue Qi is two years older than Nangong Xun's mother, and is now in her thirties. She is dressed in black, but her expression is always cold and serious.

"Jueqi, do you like my mother?"

Jue Qi's indifferent figure froze.

Xiao Hei on the tree pricked up his ears.

Even Tang Ling woke up a little from the fatigue of looking at the memories.

"Madam... is also very lively. The young master is actually very similar to Madam in this aspect."

Speaking of the deceased eldest lady, Jueqi's voice became much softer.

"Then did you fall in love with my mother at first sight?" Nangong Xun came closer and asked, "Tell me a story about the two of you?"

Jue Qi glanced at the sky and avoided the topic, "It's getting late, we'd better rush to the town ahead as soon as possible."

"How late is it?" Nangong Xun grabbed Jue Qi who was about to stand up, "Don't think that I am still as easy to deceive as when I was a child, so that you can change the subject so easily?"

Jue Qi looked helpless and sat down again.

Xiao Hei chose a more comfortable position in the tree to lie down on his stomach and continued to listen with his ears pricked up. Recalling the past, Jue Qi's face rarely showed a soft color, but the content of his words really shouldn't be said with such an expression.

"I grew up in a poor family and was sold to Ren Ya Zi by my parents. Later Ren Ya Zi discovered that I had talent in martial arts. After several changes, he sold me to an underground casino and became a duelist. That year, I Just turned six."

Jue Qi glanced at Nangong Xun, "Master, have you seen the duelist competition?"

Nangong Xun shook his head, "I've heard about it, but I'm not very interested."

Jue Qi nodded, "But some princes and nobles like to watch it."

"Those people put me in a cage with only a layer of straw mat, and I ate, drank, and defecated inside. My daily life was to be trained with whips and driven to the competition field to compete. Sometimes I competed with children, and I competed with adults, sometimes with beasts, and sometimes even with some monsters I didn’t know. Many of my fighting skills were honed in actual battles. The environment I lived in since I was a child was such a bloody and dirty place. The environment, the smell of sweat, feces, and urine is in the air, and the faces you see are full of malice and gambling madness.”

"No one cares whether a six-year-old child is scared, and no one cares whether you are injured or dead. Human life there is as trivial as a pig or a dog. I have lived in this environment for six years."

"Miss, that's your mother. I still called her Miss at that time. Miss was only ten years old at that time. She came with several young masters from the Qin family and dressed in men's clothes. Because she was young and had a lively temper, I also I thought he was a handsome young master from a rich family."

"I was not very young at that time. I passed by the young lady before the match and heard her asking the young master beside me why there were such young duelists. In fact, the duelist I fought against in that match was a duelist who was younger than me. He has a thin body but fierce eyes. As soon as I came on stage, I knew that this kid had killed many people and I couldn't treat him lightly just because he was young."

"What happened next?" Nangong Xun said, "My mother bought you because she must have seen you win."

Jue Qi shook his head, "That duel was very fierce. We were evenly matched. In the end, we were both scarred and red-eyed, and we wanted to kill each other. In the underground casino, every duelist who participated in the duel had to It is common to sign a life and death contract and die in a duel. But I don’t want to die. This was also my only belief in the past in battles. I cannot die. In order to survive, my hands have long been covered with blood. I have injured and killed people. Man, I vomited for a long time when I killed someone for the first time, but I gradually got used to it."

"But that time, when I tried my best to give him the final blow, he lay on the ground, suddenly looked at me, and begged me, 'Don't kill me' with red eyes. His eyes were stained with a few strands of blood. The dirty hair is a little blocked, but he looks very much like my former little brother. My biological parents have three children, all boys. I am the second oldest, and there is a brother below me who is three years younger than me. I think If he hadn't starved to death and lived till now, he would have been almost this old. When I left, he was still crying and calling me 'brother' and 'brother'."

"At that moment, I hesitated." After saying this, Jue Qi paused, untied the wine bag from his waist, removed the cork, and took a swig of wine.

"The boy took advantage of this hesitation, pulled out the short knife from his waist, and stabbed me in the abdomen. We were both exhausted at that time, and we were fighting for our last breath. I knew it was too late, and I felt regretful that I would die soon. dying."

"But at this moment, a stone flew over and hit the kid on the wrist. His hand loosened and the dagger fell to the ground. It was this blow that allowed me to escape."

"But the duel was interrupted because of this, and we didn't decide the winner." At this point, Jue Qi's eyebrows became softer.

"Later I found out that the person who saved my life was the handsome young man from a rich family, who was also the young lady dressed as a male. The lady ransomed me, but at that time I was still considered a relatively capable duelist in the duel field. , my master asked for a large sum of money before selling me for the sake of General Qin."

"At first, I thought that the young lady ransomed me so that I could continue to duel for her in the casino. Until the young lady took me to the house, changed me into a new set of clothes, and resumed her female clothes, and then ordered her servants to do something. The food on the table. It was the first time in my more than ten years of life that I saw so much delicious food. I was shocked when I saw the young lady’s appearance, but I was immediately attracted by the food on the table. I kept eating. I’m still eating until I can’t eat anymore.”

"The lady asked me to slow down, but I didn't stop. After eating, I didn't dare to look at her. I lowered my head and asked her what she wanted me to do for her. The lady said that I would be her bodyguard, and she would swear allegiance to protect her from then on. Don’t betray her.”

"The Qin family loves martial arts, and the general never forbids the young lady from practicing martial arts. The young lady allowed me to compete with her in martial arts, taught me how to read, let me read, and took me around. No one has ever treated me like this. All the masters I have served , they will only beat me, scold me and take advantage of me."

"I thought the lady was too kind to me. One day, I asked her why she was so kind to me. The lady said something I never expected."
