"Yun Xiao, ask you a question that may be rude." Yun Che looked at Yun Xiao and said seriously: "Do you usually meet Qi Mei in this way?"

"Ah..." Yun Xiao was caught off guard and looked embarrassed, then there was a sense of depression. He sighed, "You also saw that the family in the world looked down on me at all, and the seventh sister is the only princess of the world clan and the most noble pearl of the entire elf clan. They think I am not worthy of the seventh sister at all. If the seventh sister is really with me, it will even ruin the reputation of the whole family. At first, they opposed fiercely, but the seventh sister was also relatively tough. Later, they strictly prohibited contact with me and the seventh sister. It became more and more difficult for me and the seventh sister to meet. In the past year, we have only met three times secretly, and each time we have to be at least fifty miles away from the city to avoid being seen... In less than three months, the 100th anniversary of the reign of the Little Demon Queen, and the twelve guardians are busy with this. It was only a difficult time for me and Qi Mei to find a chance to meet, but they didn't expect..."

Yun Che raised his hand and held his chin, thinking and said, "Does anyone else know about seeing Qimei except you two?..."

"No, definitely not." Yun Xiao shook his head with certainty: "I will never dare to let anyone know, because not only the Tianxia family, but also my own family do not favor Qimei and me, and even ridiculed me in secret. Even if I don't care about myself, I will still care about Qimei, and I will definitely not let anyone know. Qimei will never tell anyone else."

"You and Qi Mei were attacked, and the other party kept making complete cover-ups, and the target was particularly clear. Obviously, they were very prepared enough." Yun Che said slowly: "If you hadn't known in advance that you would meet in that place, you wouldn't have prepared so well... Since you are so sure that only you two know about this, the biggest possibility is... When you were sending a message to Qi Mei, you were heard by people nearby. Just like Qi Mei, the message you sent her was heard by her sixth brother."

"Ah?" Yun Xiao was stunned, and then shook his head harder: "This is even more impossible. When I was sent a message, I was in my own yard and would not be heard by others. Even if I was heard quietly, it could only be our Yun family... Our Yun family and the Tianxia family have never had any big grudges, and in our current depressed state, they are definitely unwilling to offend any family. How could they do such a thing? Moreover, although the three men in black all hide their mysterious skills, if they practiced the mysterious skills of our Yun family, I would still be able to recognize them easily."

"..." Yun Che nodded, was slightly silent, thoughtful, and then said with a relaxed expression: "Maybe... Forget it, don't think about this matter for now. The Tianxia family must be more concerned than us. Leave it for them to check it out."

"However, my bigger question is... Yun Xiao, although the Yun family is in serious decline, it was at least once prosperous, and it is still owned by the Twelve Guardians. You, at least nominally, are the young head of the Yun family. With such a family background and identity, you and Qimei are clearly in a good match, oh nominally! You should be a point higher than Qimei. A hundred steps back, even if your father is not the head of the family, but an ordinary elder, they would not object so violently... and even rise to the issue of family honor."

Yun Xiao's face suddenly froze.

Yun Che glanced at Yun Xiao's expression and continued, "In addition, even your Yun family's attitude towards you is a bit too unusual, just like Yun Hao before, he not only disrespects you, but he is simply verbal sarcasm and humiliation everywhere, but looking at you, he seems to be used to this kind of treatment... Putting aside the identity of your young head, at least your grandfather is also the head of the Mu family, you shouldn't have fallen into this situation in the Yun family... Is there any hidden truth in this?"

Yun Xiao paused for a moment, lowered his head, and a deep bitterness appeared on his face.

Yun Che smiled apologetically: "I seem to have asked questions I shouldn't have asked... Sorry, don't take them to heart."

"No," Yun Xiao shook his head slowly. When he raised his head, his face was calm enough: "If anyone had ever seen my usual situation, he would have felt very strange. In fact, almost everyone in the Demon Emperor City knew about me. Brother Yun, you saved my life and treated me as a friend. There is no need to hide anything from you. The reason why I don't like it is because... because I have been a 'picked wild species' in the mouths of others since I was a 'picked up'."

Yun Che looked sideways: "What does it mean?"

Yun Xiao smiled bitterly: "The Yun family is proud of it, and it was also the core ability of the 12-year-old guardian family that year, which was the unique power of Xuangang. But my arm could not light up the Xuangang seal. After my Xuangang reached the Tianxuan Realm, I still could not awaken Xuangang."

"In the Yun family, as long as you are guided by bloodline, you can light up the Xuangang seal on your arm at the age of five, and then judge the talent and whether to focus on cultivation based on the color of the Xuangang seal. After the Xuangang realm reaches the Tianxuan realm, Xuangang will awaken and can be summoned from then on. This is the bloodline of the Yun family. As long as there is the Yun family's bloodline, there will definitely be the Xuangang power... There is never an exception."

"But I never have it. And this clearly proves that I don't have the bloodline of the Yun family... In the cognition of the Yun family, even the entire Demon Emperor City, and even the Illusion Demon World, this is an iron proof."

Yun Che: "..."

"I don't have the news of Xuangang Seal. In the fifth year of my life, I didn't know who spread it. It was known to everyone in the city. Later, my Tianxuan Realm could not summon Xuangang, and it was even more popular. During that time, the entire Demon Emperor City was rumored that I was not my parents' son... And the most serious thing is that when I was young, I was brought back from Tianxuan Great 6 by my parents... The Demon Emperor and the Little Demon Emperor were both dead in the hands of Tianxuan Great 6. The Demon Emperor Seal and Reincarnation Mirror were also lost due to the invasion of Tianxuan Great 6. The Demon Emperor City has always hated Tianxuan Great 6 to the core. Wherever I go, I will attract cold eyes, contempt, and even insults and hatred..."

Yun Xiao didn't say anything more. Yun Che listened silently. He could feel how Yun Xiao had come through these years... Before he was sixteen, he had been living in the ridicule and contempt of others because of his mysterious vein. Yun Xiao was even more unbearable than him, and the things he endured were much heavier than him...

Therefore, he knew very well what Yun Xiao had to be in his mood over the years... Both of them were people who were tricked by fate.

There is no reason for the Illusion Demon World not to hate Tianxuan Da 6. Yun Xiao, who is most likely a person belonging to Tianxuan Da 6, is how could he be liked by the people here... Even if he is known as the young head of the Yun family, how could the family in the world be willing to marry the only princess to such a person? It is indeed not just a matter of identity hierarchy, but really involves the reputation and dignity of the family...

Perhaps, if it weren't for the Yun family, the matter of Yun Xiao's bloodline could still be concealed, but it was Yun family... Xuan Gang, which is irrefutable.

"Your parents... are they good to you?" Yun Che asked slowly.

"My father and mother are very nice to me." Yun Xiao nodded slightly, and warmth flashed in his eyes: "Because of Xuan Gang, even I myself questioned my bloodline deeply, but my parents said that I am their biological son. Faced with the endless doubts, they never admit it, and they have taken great care of me since childhood, and never willing to let me suffer any grievances. Otherwise, with the hatred of the Demon Emperor City towards Tianxuan Da 6, I might not have lived to this day."

"So, for your parents, you practice hard and are willing to silently bear all criticism and unfair treatment, and never resist?" Yun Che said.

The seventh in the world said that Yun Xiao has never obtained too many resources since he was a child, but with his ordinary qualifications and lack of resources, he practiced to half a step in Baxuan at twenty-two hours! This is the most top achievement in the Seven Kingdoms of Tianxuan, and even Feng Xiluo, who was once called the first youngest generation in the Seven Kingdoms!

It is conceivable how hard he has worked in his cultivation over the years...or desperately.

"Well." Yun Xiao nodded slightly, gritted his teeth and said, "I am the grandson of the Demon King, the son of Yun Qinghong and Mu Yurou... I will never embarrass them, let alone cause trouble for them. In the future, if I really arrive at a difficult time, even if I try my best, I will use my strength to protect my parents!"

Speaking of this, he noticed that Yun Che's eyes were a little strange. He froze and said nervously: "Brother Yun, will you look down on me because of this...?"

"Of course not." Yun Che shook his head without hesitation: "On the contrary, I admire you even more, and even... I really should be grateful to you."

"Ah? Thank me?" Yun Xiao was stunned.

"Haha," Yun Che smiled casually: "Stand up and pressed on Yun Xiao's shoulder. Yun Xiao, after seeing Senior Yun, how about we become sworn brothers?"

"Ah...ahhhh?" Yun Xiao opened his mouth wide, looking unbelievable: "Getting...swallowed as brothers? I, I...me and...Brother Yun?"

"Yes." Yun Che smiled and said, "Okay, I suddenly said this, it's indeed a bit abrupt. If you don't want to, just forget it first."

"No, no, no, no... no!" Yun Xiao waved his hand quickly and stuttered excitedly: "This... Brother Yun is so powerful, and I... you have also seen and heard. I'm... How can a person like me be worthy of Brother Yun..."

"So, you think you are not worthy of the Seventh Sister?" Yun Che interrupted.

"I……"

"Don't belittle yourself." Yun Che patted his shoulder with his firm and sincere eyes: "You deserve the Qimei, the young leader of the Yun family, and the brothers who are sworn brothers. Over the years, you have been carrying many things alone. After becoming sworn brothers, we will naturally have difficulties with each other. I will fight with you for everything. If you want to be with Qimei, I will help you work hard. If you want to protect your parents, I will protect you. If someone bullies you or your parents... I will collect the new and old accounts for you!"

Yun Xiao's eyes were turbulent, and his emotions were throbbing for a long time. He grew up all the way and lived in the strange eyes of others every day. He seemed to have a noble identity, but not to mention the princes of other families, even the servants of the Yun family were unwilling to get close to him. Yun Che's words and firm eyes had undoubtedly had a huge impact on his soul. As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice became even more swallowed: "Brother Yun, I..."

Yun Che knew that he and Yun Xiao met on the first day, and suddenly said these words. If anyone else was unable to digest them, he smiled and said, "Take me to see Senior Yun first, let's talk about the others later."
