C472 The Knot in Duan Qianyue's Heart

After he came to Qian Yuan Academy from Yan Lai City, he had never returned. To the Broken Family, he was like a proud son of heaven. He was the pride of the Broken Family.

But after so many years, when he did not return, the Broken Family's hopes for him were dashed. Some thought that he had forgotten where he came from, while others thought that he might have been caught up in something at the academy.

No one knew why he hadn't returned for so many years, but it was fortunate that the master of the Broken Family, Duanzheng Shangjun, had always believed that Duanqianyue was not the kind of person who would betray his family.

So for so many years, no one in the Broken Family dared to say that Duanqianyue had turned his back on his family.

However, in the Broken Family, there was one person who felt that Duanqianyue's actions had already caused him to forget his own roots, and this person was the one who grew up with Duanqianyue.

Everyone here knew that the parents of the two of them had passed away a long time ago. Both of them had been brought up by Duanzheng Shangjun, and Duanzheng Shangjun was the master of the Broken Family, so there were many times when he could not take care of the two brothers.

Thus, at that time, Duanqianyue had been the one to take care of Duanqiancheng. They had lived together for more than ten years, so one could imagine how deep the relationship between the two brothers was.

And it was precisely because of this that Duanqiancheng could not accept the reason why Duanqianyue did not return. This was the so-called deep hatred of love.

And the reason why Duanqianyue had not come back for so many years was actually because he had his own considerations. He had originally wanted to return to see his grandfather and his brother after he settled down in the academy.

However, the longer he stayed in the Qian Yuan Academy, the more secrets he discovered that he originally couldn't touch at all. It was precisely because of these secrets that he resisted the urge to return home.

It wasn't until Duan Qiancheng and the others arrived at the Qian Yuan Academy that Duan Qianyue finally heaved a sigh of relief, because he finally had the chance to tell his younger brother about his discoveries over the years.

"I know you dislike me a lot, but I haven't returned all these years because of my own difficulties." Duanqianyue looked straight into Duanqiancheng's eyes as his eyes revealed sincerity.

Duan Qiancheng was stunned by the sincerity in the other party's eyes, but his deep-rooted thoughts over the years could not be so easily offset by a single glance from the other party.

"A difficult situation? What kind of difficulties could you possibly have? The only thing I know is that when I heard about your name in the Outer Palace, you had already become the disciple of the leader. What kind of difficulties would you have in this situation?" Duanqian Cheng's gaze was somewhat stubborn as he spoke.

He did not believe that the reason why Duanqianyue did not return all these years was because he had been influenced by external factors.

When Duanqianyue heard what Duanqiancheng said, he let out a slight sigh. He let go of the other party and his body slowly retreated, his face revealing a helpless expression.

It was as if it was the leader's disciple that Duanqiancheng was talking about that caused him to have such a complicated expression.

"Yeah, now that I have reached the Outer Palace, what difficulties can I possibly have?" Duanqianyue muttered to himself in a self-deprecating manner.

Seeing him like this, Duanqiancheng began to frown. He didn't know what he meant, but it seemed that there was something he didn't understand.

Duanqian Cheng didn't say anything else. Instead, he used his gaze to examine the man in front of him, as if he wanted to see through him.

"There are some things that you will not understand. Although I have already set my sights on the Outer Palace, I will not go back if I do not become an Inner Palace disciple. I have not forgotten my background, but the current me carries the hope of others." Duan Qianqian's words slowly came out of his mouth. He raised his head and looked at Duan Qianqian. At this moment, his eyes were filled with determination, and no longer had the self-mockery from before.

"Humph." Seeing him in such a state, Duan Qiancheng thought to himself that it was indeed as he had thought. The other party did not care about his family at all.

Duan Qianqian knew her brother very well, because he was very similar to her, and often liked to be under pressure by himself rather than sharing it with others.

Initially, Duanqianyue wanted to reveal his true thoughts to him and tell him about what had happened all these years. However, when he saw the stubborn expression on his face, he knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

So he was not going to go on about what he had just wanted to tell the other man.

Duan Qianyue slowly stood up straight. The aura around his body had also disappeared, and a sense of pride immediately leaked out from between his brows.

"Maybe it's my fault, but I feel that telling you this now is useless. You will understand the situation I have been in all these years." Duanqianyue said softly, then turned around and slowly walked away, no longer caring about whether or not Duanqiancheng wanted to leave.

When Duanqiancheng heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, but he couldn't understand what the other party was trying to say.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think too much about it anymore. He felt the injuries in his body and then supported himself to stand up. This time, Duanqianyue did not try to dissuade him.

Duan Qiancheng straightened out his clothes, and then turned his head to look at Duan Qianyue, who was on the other side of the room. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, he strode out of the room.

"Peng."

As Duan Qiancheng left, the door of the thatched cottage was heavily closed with a muffled sound.

At this moment, Duan Qianyue, who was inside the house, finally turned around and looked at the door as if he was thinking about something. No one knew what he was thinking.

"Your path is different from mine. Perhaps you will not encounter a similar situation as mine, but your friend Lee Zhuohua will understand my current situation after he agrees." Duanqianyue shook his head as he muttered to himself.

Judging from his tone, it seemed that the Outer Palace of the academy was not as simple as Lee Zhuohua and the others had imagined. There was some kind of secret hidden within.

Furthermore, the fact that the two masters of the Outer Palace would bestow the Successor Disciple Token on Lee Zhuohua was enough to explain some of the problems.

It was as if there was some kind of invisible filth under the surface of the Outer Palace that was filled with vitality. It was something that no one could understand.

......

After Duanqiancheng left Duanqianyue's place, he did not walk in the direction of the Trial Arena. His match was over, and he knew that he had already lost, so with his proud pride, he did not want to stop there.

However, he did not know what happened after he fainted. If he had known, perhaps he wouldn't have resisted Duan Qianyue so much.

"So what if you are the disciple of the leader? Sooner or later, I will also achieve what you have achieved today, hmph." Duan Qiancheng still did not believe that his brother had anything to hide, so he muttered to himself.
