C471 Brother
In the center area of the Outer Palace, the competition between the disciples at the Trial Arena was still in full swing. For the disciples of the Outer Palace, the disciple competition was the time for them to show their talents. The sweat that they shed on the stage and the heroic bearing that they displayed, for the young people, were the epitome of youth.
However, the Outer Palace disciples all knew that only a few geniuses had the qualifications to enter the Inner Palace, but most of them wanted to work somewhere else after graduating from the Outer Palace.
As for those who came out of Qian Yuan Academy, no matter where they went, they would always be respected, but if they wanted to find a better place, they would have to be paid attention to in the Outer Palace.
The Outer Palace Competition was a stage for the Outer Palace disciples to show their strength, so the mood of the people here was extremely fiery.
But for the elite disciples, the disciple competition was only a path they had to take, at most a prelude to getting a place in the Sandalwood Book Will and going to a wider stage.
Therefore, not everyone attached so much importance to this disciple competition, such as Xu Daolin and Duanqianyue.
The disciple competition on the side of the Trial Arena was still ongoing. Today was the second round, and tomorrow would be the day when the top ten would be decided. After that, everyone here was looking forward to the next round.
Meanwhile, in another secluded corner of the Outer Palace of the academy.
This secluded corner was somewhat different from the new students' residence. Although the new students lived at the edge of the Outer Palace, it was not usually this quiet.
However, even if this place was not during the disciples' competition, there were not a lot of people who would come and go here.
Rather than saying that this was the edge of the Outer Palace, it would be more appropriate to say that this place was a wasteland.
But even in such an abandoned land, there were still houses. It was just that this building was even more simple than the other buildings in the Outer Palace.
"Squeak..."
An autumn bird's cry sounded from the branches. It was so abrupt here that at any other time it might have seemed alive, but in the fall, and especially in such a deserted place, it was a ruin.
As he looked along the overgrown woods toward the shabby cottage, he could clearly see that it was made of simple branches and straw. It was clear that the people who lived there were also lonely.
However, the person who lived here was Duanqianyue, one of the Outer Palace's leader's disciples. He was an extremely arrogant existence, and such a person living here seemed to be incompatible with him.
Perhaps, in the eyes of outsiders, Duanqianyue wasn't what they had imagined.
"Cough... Cough ..."
At this moment, an intense coughing sound came out from the simple thatched cottage, breaking the silent atmosphere.
After leaving the Trial Arena, Duanqianyue brought Duanqiancheng to his residence to treat his injuries. In fact, the injuries on Duanqiancheng's body were not severe to the core. The main reason why he had fainted was because of his anxiety and anxiety.
It was precisely because of this that Duanqianyue chose to bring him back. He had some things he wanted to tell his brother that he hadn't seen for a long time.
"So ..."
A rustling sound could be heard as Duan Qiancheng woke up from his coma. He opened his eyes and looked around in confusion.
The first thing he saw was a simple and crude house with some simple decorations. He found himself lying on a shabby bed.
"Where... am I?" Duanqiancheng only remembered the scene on the Trial Arena. After he lost consciousness, he did not know what happened next, so he did not know that he had been taken away by Duanqianyue. He said in confusion.
The sound of his awakening startled the other person in the room, and Duan Qian Yue walked slowly toward them.
"Da Da ..." The sound of Duan Qian Yue's footsteps was very clear in the thatched cottage.
"Hmm?" When Duan Qiancheng heard the footsteps, he looked over in confusion. His eyes were filled with confusion.
"You're awake?" A deep but firm voice sounded at this moment, and then Duan Qian Yue's face entered Duan Qiancheng's line of sight.
It was a firm face with thick eyebrows that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. It made people feel a trace of arrogance.
When Duan Qiancheng saw the face that bore a slight resemblance to his own, his pupils slowly dilated, and the perplexity on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by a chill that seeped from his eyes.
Duan Qiancheng didn't say anything. He looked silently at the man in front of him who he should have called his older brother. There was a hidden resentment in his heart that was quietly spreading.
Duan Qianyue, who was standing, looked at Duan Qiancheng, who was half lying on the bed. His heart unconsciously sank, but at this moment, an indifferent smile surfaced on his face.
"What, don't you seem to be very happy to see me? Don't you even call me brother?" Duan Qian Yue did not care about the coldness of Duan Qiancheng at this moment. Instead, he spoke in such an indifferent manner.
However, the atmosphere in the thatched cottage was somewhat cold. The words he said were also very abrupt.
Duan Qianyue's words seemed to wake Duan Qiancheng up. Duan Qiancheng slowly retracted his gaze, and after looking around with a cold expression, he propped himself up and wanted to get up.
When Duan Qianyue saw his actions, he unconsciously frowned. However, there was not the slightest bit of displeasure on his face. Instead, there was a feeling of concern.
"You are injured. You should rest up. If you feel disgusted because you see me, I suggest you don't have to do that." Duan Qianyue said with a calm tone.
Duan Qian Cheng stopped what he was about to do when he heard the man's words. He looked up at the man again, and this time the chill in his eyes was more intense than before.
"Hmph. You don't have to be so kind. I know my own injuries. Besides, you think too highly of yourself, don't you? Disgusting? How could the abandoned son of my Broken Family arouse my emotions?" Duan Qiancheng's slightly mocking words came out of his mouth. And when he said these words, his chest rose and fell slightly, as if there was some kind of barrier between them.
Duan Qianyue had wanted to say something else, but after hearing what Duan Qiancheng had said, he fell silent.
The two of them were blood brothers, but from the looks of it, they seemed to have some sort of grudge between them, and it was difficult for others to understand them.
After he finished speaking, Duanqian Cheng stood up once again, wanting to leave this place, because there were people here that he didn't want to see.
However, just as he was about to get up, a large hand pressed down on his shoulder and pushed him back onto the bed.
"I told you, you are injured and need to rest." Duan Qian Yue's words gave people a sense of oppression. It gave people an indisputable feeling.
"You..." On the other hand, Duanqian Cheng still wanted to struggle, but he was unable to get up in the face of the opponent's large hand. It was clearly just a palm, but it felt as if it contained a thousand kilograms.
"Shut up, and listen to me." Duan Qianyue knew his brother's personality, so he didn't want him to continue speaking.
The reason he brought Duan Qiancheng back this time was to explain to him about him and the Broken Family.
