Chapter 6 Brother and Sister
A night of silence.In the dark night, the two brothers and sisters in the Jianjiang Pavilion didn't say a word, and they seemed to be full of thoughts.Ye Tianzheng held the torn skirt in his hand, trembling unceasingly.That little bloody handprint is still clear eight years later, as if it jumped out and slapped it head-on!
It was already dawn, and the people in this absolute domain ushered in a new day of lingering.

"It's really her? Did she finally come?" Ye Tianlai raised his face, and there were tears in his eyes, "God is so pitiful, she finally came back alive... You have been waiting for her for a long time, right? "

Ye Tianzheng slowly rubbed the blood-stained skirt, his thin lips were tightly pressed, his delicate face had a gloomy and painful expression, and he suddenly laughed out of nowhere: "Yes, yes, she is back!—— Come back alive, we will drag all of us into hell to accompany her! Retribution... Really retribution."

"Tianzheng, Tianzheng!" Such abnormal laughter made Ye Tianlai panic, and when he laughed again and coughed up a mouthful of blood, he held his cold hand, "Let her come Come on! At most, we will return everything to her! I'm not afraid, and neither should you. We just want to be together life and death."

"..." Feeling the uncontrollable tremors of fear in the woman, Ye Tianzheng calmed down instead, and suddenly sighed softly, "It would be fine if we could end everything just by giving up our two lives... But she will Will you? Look at her current ability, she is so vicious and malicious, it is clear... she is going to try the sword villa!"

"How come?" Ye Tianlai was startled, and blurted out in a low voice.

"Why not?" A bleak smile appeared on the corner of Ye Tianzheng's mouth, he looked at the blue sky outside the window, and shook his head, "Three of the four famous swords in the Sword Trial Villa have already fallen into her hands, and none of them survived! Even Shen Bo has been killed by her... Do you think that the leader of the Moon Worship Cult will show mercy to us?"

Ye Tianlai trembled for a moment, the fear in his eyes grew stronger, and he blurted out: "Then... let's run away!"

"Escape?" As if he didn't expect his sister to say such words, Ye Tianzheng smiled, "Yeah, with my skills, I can protect you and escape, and the two of you may still have a chance—but, in the village, What about people?!"

His smile suddenly subsided, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and he looked at the woman in his arms, coldly: "You want me to keep those people in the siege of the cult, and run for their lives regardless of their life?! They are all trying swords The vassals and disciples of the villa... have given their lives to the village, so at this point, you want me to leave them and escape by myself?"

Seeing him scolding herself in such a harsh tone for the first time, Ye Tianlai was startled, her eyes filled with tears.

"As the owner of the young villa, I promised to live and die with them, but when the disaster came, I ran away. If I did that, I would not only be cowardly but--despicable!" Seeing her tears, Ye Tianzheng's tone softened slightly, "For me to be a despicable person in front of her is worse than killing me! Eight years ago, I escaped once. This time, I will never escape again."

"I have sworn that I will never abandon anyone in a disaster again." His fingers stroked the bloody handprint on the front of the shirt for the last time, rolled up the rag, and put it in his arms.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Tianzheng, don't be angry." Ye Tianlai lowered her head in embarrassment, and hurriedly grabbed the other party, with a crying sound, suddenly gritted her teeth, "Then, just agree to her request." Didn’t she just want my head? You killed me and gave her my head—everything will be fine.”

Ye Tianzheng was about to stand up, but he staggered back into his chair after hearing those words, and stared fixedly at the woman in front of him.

Such a pale and beautiful face, so similar to his face... In the past ten years, under the dark sky, their lives have intertwined with each other, like two vines, entangled with each other, growing up intricately, and piercing into the deepest part of their hearts.Such a deformed and ulterior relationship is the only warmth left in his life after losing that person, how can he let go of it?How to give up!
"Don't be stupid... Do you think that if I really take your head to see her, she can let me and Jianjian Villa go?" With some difficulty, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, slowly Answer, "She is no longer the same as she used to be - she hates me so much... What is the last thing I can't give up, what is what she wants to take away! If I can leave you, then she will not be satisfied. She will definitely let me die once, and I still can’t survive! Then, the Sword Trial Villa will be annexed, and the power of the Moon Worship Sect will expand to the entire southern border; and then, the entire Central Plains will become her herding black sheep. ranch!"

Such a calm narration made Ye Tianlai shudder, and blurted out: "Then, what should I do?"

"Even if I am willing to die in her hands, the Sword Trial Villa must be preserved, and the expansion of the Moon Worshiping Cult must also be stopped, otherwise there will be a catastrophe in the world's martial arts - even the Dingjiange and the Nangong Family will not be able to do so." Deal with this cult!" Ye Tianzheng muttered, thinking about the severe situation in front of him, suddenly felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest and lungs, and coughed, "If Nangong is here...if Nangong is here now, there may be hope."

Ye Tianzheng closed his eyes in despair, and suddenly beat his head with his hands in agitation, "Now I regret it! Why didn't I tell that boy Nangong the truth earlier? Why did I keep it from him for so long... I have always lacked courage , so it's all over now."

"Tianzheng, Tianzheng!" Seeing that the always assertive young owner had lost his mind, Ye Tianlai was anxious and distressed, grabbed his hand and shook it desperately, trying to stop his crazy actions, "Let's think again ... There is always a way, there is always a way! Don't do this."

"Is there any other way... I don't dare to think about what will happen to the whole villa after the deadline." Ye Tianzheng smiled wryly, holding his sister's hand, but his eyes were full of desolation, "I'm not a god... I have tried my best It's fine if I die, but what will you do? What about those children in the village?——I really don't dare to think about it, what will happen if you fall into her hands?!"

"Tianzheng..." Ye Tianlai felt a heavy heart when he heard this sentence.Such deep exhaustion and grief made her heart seem to be torn apart—it was she who killed Tianzheng!A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her lips, as if she had made up her mind, and comforted her: "It's okay, if it's really pushed to the end, I still have a way..."

"What solution can you come up with?" Ye Tianzheng asked in surprise as he looked at his sister and felt a strange determination in her smile.

The two brothers and sisters inside were entangled endlessly, but a happy-faced disciple rushed to the door. Regardless of etiquette, he just shouted joyfully: "Master! The people from Ding Jiange and Ding Jiange have arrived! Reinforcements are here!"

"What?" The astonishing news caused the two siblings inside to stand up in surprise.

When Nangong Mo woke up, he found himself lying under the porch of Jianjian Villa.Along the corner of the villa's outer wall, there are dense clusters of red-hot manjusawa, making Jianjian Villa look like an isolated city in the flames of hell.

Although it was daytime, the open space outside Jianjian Villa was covered with pale faces.It should have been ordered, those zombies closely guarded every road leading to the villa.Many of those undead wandering around expressionlessly are the children of the original villa.

Concerned about the safety of the two brothers and sisters in the village, he knocked on the door immediately before thinking about it.However, he found that the gate was sealed from the inside. He didn't care about being rude, so he tapped his feet and slammed in from the wall—but he was in the air, and the crossbow was roaring like rain. If he hadn't drawn his sword quickly, he would have been killed Shot into a hedgehog.

"Stop! I'm from the Tripod Sword Pavilion!" Looking at the disciples in the village who were facing the enemy, he understood the reason and immediately argued loudly. I am Nangong Mo! The eldest son of the Nangong family in Dingjiange!"

"Nangongmo?" Someone in the villa let out a low cry, waved his hands to stop his attack, and walked out of the crowd—it was Sun Feng, the last surviving of the four famous swords in the sword-testing villa.He came over to look at the visitor, and finally confirmed the identity of the other party from the Miehun Sword. He was overjoyed: "It's really Mr. Nangong! The rescuers from Dingjiange really arrived!"

"Rescue soldiers?" Nangong Mo didn't know why, but he saw everyone in Jianjian Villa around him cheering ecstatically.

When Nangong Mo saw the welcoming young owner in the Jianjian Pavilion, Nangong Mo couldn't help but startled for a moment. He could hardly recognize that this haggard and pale man was the handsome and elegant Ye Tianzheng who had grown up with him since he was a child.

"Little Yezi...is Xiao Yezi okay?" He didn't care about anything else, and asked at the first sentence.Then he heard the collision of tables and chairs in the room behind him. It seemed that someone got up and left in a hurry. He was impatient, and stepped into the room with one step. When he saw the woman in white standing up, he let out a long sigh of relief: "Little Yezi? It's okay." , fortunately... I was really shocked, that demon girl threatened to kill you, I was afraid that something really happened to you if I came late."

"Nangong...Young Master Nangong." Ye Tianlai couldn't dodge in time, but was bumped by Nangong Mo, so he had to stop and salute, "Thank you for coming in time."

"This...you are welcome, this is what you should do." Unexpectedly, the other party would say such polite words as soon as they met, Nangong Mo suddenly felt strange, and returned the salute awkwardly, rubbing his hands, not knowing how to answer, "This In the end... What's going on? I saw countless zombies along the way. Is Miaojiang's moon worship cult making a comeback again? Last night I saw a witch in Fufeng Village. She didn't know what magic method she used It has become the appearance of Tian Lai when she was a child!"

"What did Tian Lai look like when he was a child?" Ye Tianzheng gasped, exchanged glances with his sister quickly, and asked eagerly, "What's going on with her? Is she going to kill you?"

"If she really wants to kill me, I won't be able to make it here." Thinking of the nightmarish experience last night, Nangong Mo sat down on the chair in the Sword Test Pavilion exhaustedly, and smiled bitterly, "What a powerful witch, as long as you lift You can turn people into zombies by lifting your finger! ——I think she still wants to play this cat-and-mouse game, so she let me go for the time being, and put me in the cage of the Sword Trial Villa, and finally deal with it together.”

"She...she didn't kill you after all, that's fine." As if he didn't listen to what his best friend said later, Ye Tianzheng breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good...she still doesn't want to kill."

"Huh?" Not understanding what the other party was muttering, Nangong Mo looked at Ye Tianzheng suspiciously.

Here, since Nangong Mo appeared in Jianjian Villa, Ye Tianlai has been exceptionally silent, keeping his head down and staying aside, serving two cups of tea at this moment.Nangong Mo couldn't help looking at his fiancée whom he hadn't seen for many years, but saw that her face was pale, her eyes were dodging, and she was not as domineering as he remembered.Seeing his gaze, she felt uneasy for a moment, put down the teacup, and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute," Ye Tianzheng's eyes flashed suddenly, he stopped his sister, as if he had made a great determination, he took Ye Tianlai's hand, and walked to Nangongmo, "Nangong, there is one thing I want I want to ask you."

Nangong Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip. Hearing this, he sneered: "It must be a bad thing to say so cautiously——but, what kind of friendship do we have? Isn't your business my business? Why..."

"Nangong, you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you must protect her well." Without letting his best friend finish speaking, Ye Tianzheng said his request word by word, and at the same time turned around and wanted to walk away. Tian Lai, "You have to do your best to protect her and take her out of here safely—I've been begging you for this all my life, will you agree?"

Nangong Mo almost choked on a sip of tea, and couldn't help laughing: "That's it? If I don't care about Xiao Yezi's life or death, I won't be called Nangong Mo anymore. Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely not Let that demon girl harm Xiao Yezi—and, you kid is not yet 30 years old, what do you mean 'forever'? Don't laugh so hard."

"I don't want to go with him!" However, Ye Tianlai kept struggling, and finally broke free from his brother's grasp, and stared at Ye Tianzheng with a pale face, "I don't want to go with him! I want to stay with you and stay with you until I die !"

Hearing such words, the sip of tea really choked Nangong Mo, he coughed and raised his head, looking in disbelief at this familiar woman in front of him - pale face, beautiful eyebrows, facial features quite similar to Ye Tianzheng, However, the eyes are calm and gentle, completely without the domineeringness of the past.

——However, exactly the same as ten years ago, she said such words!
"Little Ye Zi...?" He murmured, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and suddenly didn't know what to say—so those rumors were not groundless?No wonder the Ye family has been delaying the wedding. It turns out that ten years later, when Xiao Ye Zi grows up, the person she has always admired in her heart is her elder brother!Such a deformed complex has not been unraveled for many years, but has become more and more entangled?

He suddenly felt exhausted, and with a sweep of his hand, he poured the cup of tea on the ground, stood up and looked coldly at the tall and tall Ye Tianzheng.The young owner of Jianjian Villa didn't seem to be moved, but stood there with a pale face, without saying a word.

Things have reached the point where it is today, and the truth can't be covered up anymore, so it's fine if it breaks like this.

"I'm not Little Leaf! I'm not Little Leaf!" With a pale face, Ye Tianlai finally cried out, tearing his hands on his face, tearing off a thin mask in an instant, because the tearing was too fast, The skin on her face was torn in several places, but the thin human skin mask was finally torn off and thrown on Nangong Mo's face, she sternly said, "Nangong Mo! See clearly! I'm not the one you want to marry Second Miss!"

The light mask hit Nangong Mo's face, but his whole body was shaken violently, and he took a step back inconceivably.

In front of him was a strange face, delicate and pale, with thin eyebrows and eyes, soft and beautiful, his facial features were not the slightest resemblance to Ye Tianzheng's, and he knew at a glance that he was not of the Ye family's blood.The woman's cheeks were bleeding, and she retreated to Ye Tianzheng's side emotionally, and pulled his sleeve: "My lord, I don't want to marry into Nangong's house...not to die!"

"You are—" The mask in his hand was as thin as paper, Nangong Mo stared blankly at the woman in front of him, seeing the red mole between her eyebrows, he suddenly felt familiar, and blurted out uncertainly, "You are... Yu Xiao ?”

"Yes." This time, it was the eldest son of the Ye family who had been silent all this time, who answered the interface, "She is Yuxiao."

"Yuxiao..." Remembering the little maid beside Tianzheng many years ago, Nangong Mo suddenly realized, "Little Yezi was faked by her? That's why you have always refused to marry her into the Nangong family, have you? But...but ...Why is this? Little Leaf? Where is the real Little Leaf? Where did you go? Why did you find someone to pretend to be Little Leaf!"

He looked eagerly at Ye Tianzheng, but the other party turned his head away, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Fucking Ye Tianzheng, what did you do to Little Yezi?!" Suddenly feeling ominous in his heart, Nangong Mo jumped up and grabbed his former friend, furious, and almost punched him, "Little Yezi now What's wrong? Where is she!"

"Didn't you already see her when you came up the mountain?" Ye Tianzheng's fingers trembled slightly, his eyes kept looking at the blue sky outside the window, and he said quietly, "Didn't you say that she...is exactly the same as ten years ago?"

The teacup fell from Nangong Mo's hand with a bang, and burst into countless pieces the moment it touched the cold and hard ground.

He looked at his best friend in front of him in disbelief, slowly loosened his fingers, and stepped back step by step, as if he suddenly didn't know the man in front of him who grew up together.That girl... that girl is Xiao Yezi?That moon worship leader is Xiao Yezi!The little leaf that hasn't grown up in ten years!

"Ye Tianzheng, what's going on? If you don't tell me clearly today, you don't want to come out of this door!" Mie Hun Jian suddenly jumped out of the scabbard and stopped in front of him. Nangong Mo's eyes had a faint evil spirit, " How many things did your Ye family hide! Since when did Yuxiao become the second lady? How did the real little leaf become the leader of worshiping the moon? In the past ten years, you have never spoken the truth to me once, what a pity I still think of you as a friend!"
