Above the stars

Qin Jian left.

On the seventh star of March, General Qin Jian of Sirius left.

Before Her Royal Highness the Princess' coming-of-age ceremony officially began, she left the banquet with her younger brother.

Originally, he wanted to vent his anger on Qin Yuyang, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, and picked up the face of the Qin family that fell on the ground, but instead of picking up the face, he lost even more face.

No one thought that he would be defeated at the hands of an old-fashioned boy, detonating the first wave of public opinion bombs at this dinner.

"Have you heard? Qin Jianyi challenged Tang Bandit and lost. Who is Tang Bandit? It seems that you haven't paid much attention to current affairs recently."

"How could Qin Jianyi lose? He is one of the Seven Stars and the most promising young generation of the Qin family. I am afraid his future is not good now."

"Did Qin Jianyi release the water on purpose? I watched the match just now. Qin Jian came slashing with his sword one by one. I felt breathless when I stood beside him. However, the bandit Tang stood still and didn't move. Then Qin Jianyi said he lost."

"Are you being forced by Her Highness the Princess? After all, I heard about the Tang bandit and Her Highness the Princess."

"Hush, shut up, you want to die and we don't want to die"

——

Bandit Tang knew that when this battle was over, he was bound to become the focus of everyone's attention and discussion.

However, the arrow is on the string and must be fired.

In many cases, he is forced to make a choice.

Others can retreat, but he cannot.

Others take a step back to open up the sea and the sky, but for him to take a step back, his soul will die.

Others can do something for profit, but he just wants to live.

However, the effect of this sword was beyond Tang bandit's expectation.

When Qin Jian struck with his sword one by one, his aura was much stronger than that of Shen Qingping who had just entered the Netherworld. Bandit Tang secretly guessed that Qin Jianyi's strength was between Tongyou middle-rank or top-rank.

At that time, he felt that his body was locked, all the qi in his body were suppressed, and it was difficult to mobilize the yin and yang qi.

Without the blessing of the first sword, he would have no choice but to give up the sword and admit defeat.

However, by chance, I understood the "Nether Atlas", and my focus during this time has been on practicing the first sword.

Ten thousand swords per day persisted like this, and he practiced himself to the point of exhaustion again and again, and was carried out of the practice room by Xiaopang.

Hard work pays off, in times of crisis, I used this first sword to relieve the pressure and crisis brought by Qin Jianyi.

The fierce thing is indeed very fierce.

Moreover, Bandit Tang doesn't feel fierce at all now, and even thinks he is a little cute.

Thinking of how he tore off the black cloak from him and let a generation of fierce gods sit cross-legged on the boulder with their breasts exposed, Tang Bandit was filled with guilt.

If I had known that I would throw Xiaopang's clothes at him, no matter what, I couldn't let my beloved fierce master be naked.

Yes, Tang Bandit decided to add a master to himself.

Strictly speaking, the old man is his first master. But the old man refused to let him call him master, and he couldn't teach him.

The husband was Tang Bandit's writing master. He read many books with him and wrote many words.

As for the evil god.

Although everyone didn't get along well when they first met, they later treated Tang Bandit sincerely. Not only did he give Xiaopang the Skeleton Hammer, one of the top ten artifacts in the world, but he also gave Tang Bandit a cloak and a book of sword manuals.

Such selfless dedication, such high integrity, even biological parents can only do this.

The ancients had a master. Tang Bandit learned a sword from the fierce god, and he must be his master.

Besides, he was so powerful after learning one sword, and cut off a star in the Seven Stars of March. When he finished learning the nine swords, wouldn't he be able to cut off this planet as well?

Thinking of this, Tang Bandit was full of hope for his future life.

Tang Bandit didn't care what others were talking about, as long as he was the final winner.

Xiaopang came over and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Tang Bandit said with a smile.

Fatty looked at Bandit Tang with admiration, and said, "Brother, you are really powerful. There is no opponent you can't beat. That Qin Jianyi is so powerful, you still managed to finish him off with one sword."

Bandit Tang shook his head and said: "It can't be said that it's resolved. If we don't have a sword agreement, I will definitely lose if we continue to fight. But with a sword agreement, he doesn't want to really die with me, so he just You can save yourself and admit defeat.”

"Oh." Xiaopang nodded. He didn't care about these things in the middle. He only saw that his eldest brother won again.

Moreover, the winner was the arrogant and arrogant Qin Jianyi.

"Brother, what are we going to do now?" Xiaopang asked.

The phoenix hasn't come out yet, the coming-of-age ceremony hasn't started yet, and Tang Bandit and Xiaopang can't leave immediately.

Tang Bandit then looked at Xiaopang and asked, "Are you full?"

"No." Xiaopang shook his head.

He was only half full when he was disturbed, which was why he was so angry just now.

"Then let's continue eating." Bandit Tang said, "Eat until you are full."

As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy.

Don't let some irrelevant people affect your mood, let alone your appetite.

"Brother" Fatty pointed to the crowd gathered around, and said, "Others will watch us."

"If you want to see it, let them watch it." Bandit Tang said as if nothing had happened, "Who hasn't eaten yet?"

After saying that, he took Xiaopang to the dining table to get the food. He held a large plate full of pastries in his left hand and a glass of juice in his right hand. He returned to the Octagon Pavilion, placed the pastries and juice on the bench, and then the two of them started again. He squatted on the ground and ate.

"Brother, try this chocolate cake, it's delicious."

"Try my strawberry pie. The strawberries are particularly fresh."

"Brother, do you still have a drink? I'll get it for you?"

"No need, I drank too much and couldn't eat."

"Oh, then I won't drink either."

——

They talked and laughed as if no one else was around. They shared food and the taste of every pastry with each other, as if this was the home they were most familiar with and the home ground where they open their minds.

Countless guests looked on, but no one made a mocking sound.

These two guys.

It is indeed different from the young people on Xinxing.

——

Phoenix Palace. Phoenix Villa.

Phoenix sat in front of a huge white and gold dressing table, while two palace stylists stood behind her to fix her hair. Another person was doing makeup on her, painting her eyebrows and eyes, applying powder and vermilion, very delicately and carefully.

There are also a few assistants working nearby, delivering items needed by the makeup artist or hairstylist from time to time, creating a busy scene.

Today is Phoenix's coming-of-age ceremony, one of the most important days in a woman's life, and she will also be the most dazzling figure in the entire party.

Not only that, countless people in the Phoenix Empire are also paying attention to this grand event, waiting to appreciate the photos that have been circulated, as well as the various scandals and gossip that may appear, and to interpret every political metaphor conveyed by this gathering.

Therefore, even though Fenghuang hates trouble and doesn't like heavy makeup, he can only choose makeup, hair, and clothing in accordance with the requirements of the palace etiquette officer.

"Qin Jianyi challenges the Tang bandits?"

Phoenix's body tensed up unconsciously, worried that the maids and servants around him and the etiquette officer supervising them would see some clues. Then he relaxed instantly and asked aloud:

"Okay, why did Qin Jianyi challenge the Tang Bandit? There is no dispute between them. The Tang Bandit has just moved to Xinxing, and Qin Jianyi has been working as a servant in the Yuhuo Army. The two of them have not met yet, right? "

"The problem was caused by Qin Jianyi's idiot brother Qin Yuyang." Sheng Xinhuai held a slender cigarette between his fingers and smoked leisurely, ignoring the cold expression of the palace etiquette officer beside him.

Only she has the right to smoke at will in Her Royal Highness the Princess's palace, and even the most strict and demanding palace etiquette officers have no choice but to do anything about her.

As a good bestie of Her Royal Highness the Princess, Sheng Xinhuai also dressed up to attend today.

Wearing a black evening dress, she looked full of mystery. She was as lazy, cool and gorgeous as a bouquet of dark night roses, attracting attention.

"The version I heard is this, after Bandit Tang and his little fat brother came."

"My name is Gong Shulei, not Little Fatty." Fenghuang corrected him.

"I heard the name "Little Fatty" from you. What? You can call us but you can't? Only the princess is allowed to set fire, but we are not allowed to light the lamp?" Sheng Xinhuai rolled his eyes at Fenghuang and said very dissatisfied.

You haven't married yet, look at how protective you are.

Fenghuang knew that there was nothing good to say from Sheng Xinhuai's mouth, so he pushed her to the edge and didn't know what secrets would be revealed. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Qin Yuyang bullies Tang Bandit and Xiaopang?"

"It can't be said to be bullying. After Tang Bandit and Xiaopang arrived, they packed a plate of pastries and went to the garden to eat. Qin Yuyang thought it was ridiculous for them to eat together, so he took a video and recorded it, and used a multi-dimensional video in front of everyone. Imaging technology plays it out”

"Tang Bandit felt that his behavior was very impolite, so he asked him to delete the video. Qin Yuyang was unwilling, so the two had a dispute."

Phoenix's eyes were slightly stern and he said: "Although Qin Yuyang has no talent, he shouldn't be such a idiot. Is he being bewitched by others, or does he have other motives?"

"How do I know such a thing?" Sheng Xinhuai glanced at Fenghuang charmingly and said sweetly, "She is just an ordinary teacher."

Fenghuang knew that she was still resenting him for not letting her call her Fatty, so he begged: "Sister, please help me, help me analyze it. You are a famous female Zhuge in Phoenix City. You can see many things." Extremely precise and to the point.”

Sheng Xinhuai shook his head and said: "I really can't see this. I always feel that they are playing a big chess game."

"Who are they you are talking about?"

"The Shen family, the Qin family, and your royal family."

Phoenix's eyelids twitched. Why did this woman involve the royal family?

God knows how many of these people were deployed by Chen Fenglei. Are you not afraid of causing trouble?

Fenghuang no longer asked her to analyze the situation, and only focused on the details of the scene, saying, "So, Bandit Tang beat Qin Yuyang?"

"It was Fatty who beat me." Sheng Xinhuai said with a smile: "I heard that every time he slapped him, he would shout, "Shang Xiulin is my disciple. Do you think it's funny or not? Why did Shang Xiulin accept such an idiot disciple?" "

"Little Fatty is not an idiot, he is just..." Phoenix couldn't help but speak for the kind-hearted Fatty.

"Just what?" Sheng Xinhuai blinked and asked aloud.

"It's just that the reaction is not sensitive enough." Fenghuang said, "Little Fatty must have been bewitched by his brother."

"Every fool knows." Sheng Xinhuai said, "Otherwise, how could Xiaopang do such a thing? The most unlucky thing is Shang Xiulin, who sits at home and the pot comes from the sky. Will the Qin family find him?" Trouble with Shang Xiulin?"

"No." Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Shang Xiulin is not afraid either."

"That's right, the dean of our business was called "the most elegant" and "the most elegant" by the students in the school, but he was slapped by this little fat man and said that Shang Xiulin is my apprentice, which made a comedic effect. Now I see him again Put on a straight face and hold a meeting with us, I am afraid that I will not be able to help but laugh out loud."

"I hope Shang Xiulin won't get angry and drive Xiaopang out." Fenghuang said worriedly.

"If you care about it, you will be chaotic. Shang Xiulin has not accepted disciples for so many years, and none of the nine major families have sent him to his door. If he accepts such a little fat man, it proves that this little fat man really has his merits. How could he be?" Expel people because of such a small matter?"

"Besides, don't you think Xiaopang is yelling like that?" Thinking of the scene at that time, Sheng Xinhuai couldn't help laughing, and said, "Don't you think it's cute? You're so stupid, he looks like a good guy at first glance. Shang Xiu Lin has a weird temper, and he can't rub the sand in his eyes, so maybe he's just going to eat Xiaopang's tricks."

"That's right." Fenghuang nodded and said, "I heard that Shang Xiulin and his wife are very kind to Xiaopang, and they often let him eat at home."

"It's strange to say that bandit Tang's aptitude and strength are obviously better than that of Xiaopang, why didn't Shang Xiulin take a fancy to him?" Sheng asked curiously.

Fenghuang shook his head and said: "How can we guess how people like them behave? Maybe Xiaopang is more suitable for him?"

"You may also think that bandit Tang is too cunning, obviously not suitable for an old man like Shang Xiulin. However, Bandit Tang actually defeated Qin Jianyi. This is indeed something that no one thought of before. Qin Jianyi lost If the news gets out, I'm afraid it will be the biggest news in Phoenix, right? Will Bandit Tang's ranking in the starry sky skyrocket rapidly?"

"I can't figure it out either." Fenghuang shook his head and said, "Qin Jian has been famous for a long time. He entered the Tongyou Realm at the age of eighteen. He is a first-class talented boy in Phoenix City. Later, he was arranged by the Qin family to enter the Yuhuo Army." Effectiveness, I heard that he made a lot of contributions, and his performance in the army is also quite outstanding."

"Because his machine beast is a black wolf, he is also called General Tianlang, and he is highly valued by the senior leaders of the Yuhuo Army. According to their level of strength, Tang Bandit should be far from their opponent."

Fenghuang didn't know why Tang Bandit was able to defeat Qin Jianyi, but she knew in her heart that he was trying his best to improve his level of strength during this period.

Thinking of the dense sword marks on the floor of the brand new training room, Phoenix felt heartbroken.

She brought Tang Bandit to Xinxing with the intention of changing his life.

However, he didn't expect that he would be even more exhausted than he was on the old soil before, encountering such dangerous things again and again.

Whether it is Shen Qingping of the Shen family or Qin Jianyi of the Qin family, they are all here because of themselves.

The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.

I am the piece of jade in Tang Bandit's arms.

Do we really have to drift away from him in order for him to truly enjoy a stable and peaceful life?

But, can I really do it?

Or can he do it?

"Zhong Yuxiuxue."

"Ah?" Phoenix suddenly woke up and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I've been talking to you for a long time, but you just pretended you didn't hear me. Where did you go?" Sheng Xinhuai said angrily.

"Miss Sheng, please pay attention to the etiquette and do not call Her Royal Highness the Princess by her full name." The etiquette officer couldn't help it anymore and reminded him from the side.

Sheng Xinhuai blew out a smoke ring and said, "It's none of your business?"

"."

"Is everything done?" Phoenix looked at the etiquette officer and asked.

"It's done. Just wait until you change into the dinner dress and princess crown before going on stage." the etiquette officer said.

"Okay, you guys go out and let me rest for a while. I'm too tired," Phoenix said.

"Yes, Your Highness the Princess." The etiquette officer also wanted to keep an eye on her. She was afraid that the makeup and hair she had finally done would be ruined by the princess.

However, she did not dare to disobey Her Royal Highness the Princess's order.

There is also a lawless Sheng Xinhuai standing beside her. This woman really dares to say anything and can do anything.

When the etiquette officer left with the beauty and makeup artist, there were only two people in the room, Fenghuang and Sheng Xinhuai, and their conversation suddenly became more relaxed and casual.

"I don't know if you are annoyed by this old witch who keeps an eye on her all day long. She is not allowed to do anything wrong. If she were in my house, I would have thrown her out of the window long ago." Sheng Xinhuai looked disgusted.

"I can't help it. There are rules in the palace. It bothers me too. But if I don't do what she says, and she goes to complain to my dad, my dad will talk to me again."

"Just bear with it, you have been used to this kind of life since you were a child." Sheng Xinhuai said with a smile. "What does that sentence mean? If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. Not everyone can enjoy the status of a princess. You are already the happiest woman in the world."

"Are you happy?" Fenghuang looked at Sheng Xinhuai and said, "I think you are much happier than me."

"Really? I am a shameless person. If you want to scold me, you must scold me, and if you want to sleep with me, I must sleep with you."

"."

Phoenix was helpless.

This woman started again.

"As soon as Qin Jian left, I didn't even eat a piece of the birthday cake. Does this lighten your burden?"

Phoenix shook his head: "I don't care whether he eats the birthday cake or not."

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked at Sheng Xinhuai and said, "Tang Bandit and Xiaopang have just arrived in Xinxing, and they are not familiar with the etiquette in the palace. How about you go and accompany them? After all, they are here. The only person I know besides me is you.”

"."

——

Qin Mansion. The Qin family residence.

Qin Jianyi asked Qin Yuyang to lie down on the recuperation bed, and injected a stream of yin and yang energy into Qin Yuyang's body to help him regain his energy and clear the blood stasis and air blockage in his body.

Qin Yuyang doesn't know how to practice and can't feel the yin and yang energy. This is an anomaly in a big family like the Qin family, so he is not loved and valued by the elders in the family.

It just so happened that his brother Qin Jianyi was one of the top cultivation geniuses in the Qin family. It cannot be said that the younger brother is more valuable than the older brother, but no one despised him because of this.

He is a dispensable figure in the Qin family. When everyone mentions him, he is just "Qin Jianyi's younger brother."

Because of his low reputation, if he hadn't taken the initiative to provoke the Tang bandits tonight, few people would have paid attention to the existence of this figure.

"vomit"

Qin Yuyang spit out a large mouthful of blood, and then he felt that the tightness in his chest disappeared, and his body felt much more comfortable.

"Your qi and blood have been cleared. After a few days of sleeping in the recuperation cabin, you will be almost fine." Qin Jianyi looked at Qin Yuyang and said aloud. "My kick was measured and didn't hurt your bones."

"Thank you, brother." Qin Yuyang said gratefully, not complaining because Qin Jianyi didn't seek justice for him, but instead kicked him away.

Qin Jian looked at Qin Yuyang and said, "Tell me, what's going on? You're so good, why are you going to provoke an old homeless man? This is not in line with your style of doing things."

Qin Yuyang tried his best to sit up straight, took out a tissue from the tissue box next to him and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth. Then he explained aloud: "This boy is not an ordinary homeless man, but a man whom Zhong Yuxiuxue values ​​​​very much."

Qin Jianyi had a mocking smile on his lips and said, "What? Do you believe those rumors too?"

"I don't really believe it. A woman like Zhong Yuxiuxue has her eyes set high above her head. What kind of young hero has she not seen? How could she want to marry her just because someone saved her life?" Qin Yuyang shook his head. He shook his head and denied it out loud.

"In that case, it's not because you want to vindicate my brother. What's the purpose of doing this?"

"Actually, I also have thoughts in this regard." Qin Yuyang said aloud. "When I saw the two of them squatting on the ground eating, I really thought it was funny. I thought, take a photo of them looking like beggars and post it on the Star Network, and wait until the video spreads, until it reaches the Phoenix Palace Go inside."

"There are a lot of rumors outside, saying that His Highness Xiuxue and Tang Bandit are lovers, and that the current king has agreed to marry off his daughter. What do you think Zhong Daolong would think after seeing these videos? He would be willing to let his daughter have a relationship with such a man. Is it ambiguous? Does he still want the face of the royal family? Does Zhong Daolong still want his dignity? "

"So, you want to stigmatize Tang Bandit and expel him from the finals? You can let others do such a thing, why do you do it yourself?"

"This opportunity cannot be missed." Qin Yuyang said aloud: "The opportunity passed in a flash, and I couldn't hold back and took action directly."

"Besides, I originally planned to film secretly, leave after filming, and then find an unrelated person to use an anonymous account to publish the video without anyone noticing, and it has nothing to do with our Qin family."

"I didn't expect that the Tang bandit was so vigilant. He immediately discovered that I was filming. I was afraid that he would forcefully delete the video I took, so I immediately shouted to attract more people's attention. First, I used a multi-dimensional rendering method to render the video. This way, even if the original video I shot is deleted, the video recorded by others will be enough to go viral on the Internet."

"Even if he is discovered, we have a large number of people here, and all the people here are young men and young ladies. The prominent figures are just arguing about a few words. What can he do to me?"

"What I didn't expect was that the Tang bandit was so bold that he dared to let his younger brother commit murder in the palace. If his behavior was pursued by the royal family, it would be a crime of disrespect and his future would be ruined."

Qin Jian looked at Qin Yuyang and said: "If we, the children of aristocratic families, do these things, it will be contempt for the imperial power, lawlessness, lack of education, and a crime of great disrespect that may ruin his future. What future does he have?"

"So," Qin Yuyang smiled bitterly and said, "I am not unjust at all when I fall into his hands this time. This kid acts crazy and unexpectedly, and it is really difficult to feel his pulse."

Qin Jian looked at Qin Yuyang with a deep look and said, "Since the main reason is not to steal women for my brother, then what is the real reason?"

"To understand the Qin family's crisis." Qin Yuyang said in a deep voice.

Two chapters in one, it’s more refreshing to read this way.
