Embers of Sword

Chapter 404 Your Dad
Xie Xuanyi picked up a stool and sat down next to the young man.

He reached out and patted Chu Guo on the back, smiling and comforting him: "It's inevitable that this will happen when you kill someone for the first time. You'll get used to it after vomiting and vomiting."

When Chu Guo heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The young man squatted in the corner and vomited for a long time before he was finally able to stand up straight.

He wiped the corner of his mouth and said the first thing.

"Thank you so much!"

Bastard, is this still a human being? He tricked me into eating human flesh, no wonder he didn't move his chopsticks before!

"When you are out, be careful."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly, "If there is a next time, don't be impatient. Think carefully. If it is really a delicacy, even if I don't eat, Miss Deng should at least have a bite."

On the other side, Deng Baiyi also looked unhappy.

"How to deal with these people?"

Her voice was hoarse and she looked at the corpses all over the ground with a worried look on her face.

Xie Xuanyi said: "Just burn down all these people and inns."

"Burn them all?"

Deng Baiyi was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked towards the second floor of the inn.

"Don't look at it, they are all dead."

Xie Xuanyi glanced at the big table beside him. The waiter's head was smashed in the middle, leaving a gorgeous blood flower.

He didn't have to explain anything.

But after thinking about it, Xie Xuanyi still said, "He deserves to die."

"That's right... How can the guy who brought up human flesh be good?"

Chu Guo was indignant and gnashed his teeth and said, "Good kill!!"

Treating patients and healing people in Pingzhi City made the young man develop a kind heart.

But kindness does not mean foolish kindness.

Chu Guo couldn't help but feel cold all over when he thought of the "delicacies" on the table before. How unscrupulous could this inn be...to do such a thing?
"You killed these people well."

Xie Xuanyi was very satisfied when he heard Chu Guo's words. He smiled and praised: "They killed many people in Yuanzhou. If you don't take action today, they will kill more people next time."

"..."

The young man looked back at the mess on the ground.

Chu Guo's breathing was heavy, his eyes were a little red, and the hand holding the umbrella sword could not stop shaking.

Thank you, that’s awesome.

But it has nothing to do with him.

He was just an ordinary man who had practiced sword skills for a few days in the back mountain of Taoyuan. He was able to cut off the head of the bandit leader thanks to the sharpness of this umbrella sword... In the previous fight, Chu Guo tried to remain calm at the beginning, but after being cut by the sword, rationality was completely thrown out of his mind. He was completely bloodthirsty and fought entirely on instinct and blood.

At this moment, the war was over and he gradually came out of his "excited" state.

The psychological discomfort from my first murder gradually dissipated.

Instead.

It is physical pain.

The young man slowly turned his head and noticed that his clothes had been torn to pieces and his back was covered with several deep cuts, crisscrossing each other and penetrating into his bones and flesh. The severe pain surged like a tide at this moment. Chu Guo lay on the long bench that Xie Xuanyi had brought over, gasping for breath.

His already pale face now looked even more haggard.

Although Xie Xuanyi was on the second floor dealing with the "evil" of the past, a ray of his divine consciousness was always on Chu Guo.

He saw everything the young man did.

If we can kill all these bandits without any external help, we will be considered successful.

Although it was better than he expected, Xie Xuanyi still spoke up and said coldly: "Sword holders should always remain calm. If you remember the sword styles I taught you in the back mountain of Taoyuan... you won't get too hurt if you kill all these people today."

"Damn it, who would remember that at a time like that?"

Chu Guo smiled weakly and said, "Besides... just kill him, right? In this world, who cares about the process?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi was speechless for a moment.

This kid is worthy of being Emperor Chu’s biological son. When he said this, Xie Xuanyi felt that these two people were like cast in the same mold.

He sighed, stretched out his hand, and prepared to use the state of life to heal the young man's injuries.

But the next moment.

Chu Guo shook his head, raised his arm with difficulty, and grabbed Xie Xuanyi's palm, "No... no need. Although it hurts, I can bear it." "Hmm?"

This surprised Xie Xuanyi a little.

"People cannot teach people, but things can teach people, and they can learn once they are taught."

The young man grimaced, turned over with difficulty, and leaned against the edge of the bench with the back of his neck, the only part of his body that was not injured, and said in a hoarse voice: "This is what Lao Zheng taught me. In the early days, I liked to climb walls and trees and steal things. The more Lao Zheng scolded me, the more I did it, and he simply stopped trying to stop me. Later, I was caught red-handed and beaten with a bamboo stick all over the street. Instead of standing up to stop them, he watched the show with a bag of melon seeds in his hand."

Xie Xuanyi asked with great interest: "What happened next?"

"That time it really cost me my life. I was almost beaten half to death."

Chu Guo lowered his eyebrows and laughed to himself, "Old Zheng helped me apply medicine, and I stayed at home obediently for half a month. After that, my hands and feet were clean."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled: "So, are you sure you don't need treatment?"

"I deserve these injuries. Let me suffer the pain for a while."

Chu Guo sighed and whispered: "After this lesson, next time I kill someone, I will definitely stay calm..."

Hearing this, Xie Xuanyi didn't say anything more.

This kid has guts.

"By the way..."

Chu Guo raised his head and looked at the young man in black: "What would have happened if I hadn't fought just now?"

Xie Xuanyi smiled faintly and said, "You saw it, didn't you? I like watching the show just like Lao Zheng. You were almost chopped to death, and I was just watching."

"Different."

"You are different from Lao Zheng, and the situation just now is also different from that year."

The young man shook his head and said seriously, "I just stole a few chickens. It's not a crime punishable by death. But just now... I will really die."

The smile on Xie Xuanyi's face gradually faded.

In fact, he knew that what Chu Guo wanted to ask was whether he would watch him die.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Xie Xuanyi thought about it and said.

"truth."

Chu Guo looked straight into Xie Xuanyi's eyes.

Xie Xuanyi sighed and said, "I left a trace of divine consciousness, no one here can kill you."

Unexpectedly, the young man didn't care about this issue at all.

Chu Guo grinned and immediately asked the second question: "Oh, is it because of my father whom I have never met?"

"..."

Xie Xuanyi was unable to answer for a moment.

Ask yourself.

Did he rescue him because of Chu Guo's identity, or because... after spending some time together, deep in his heart, he had already accepted this great prince Chu who had left his country?
"We're almost back anyway."

Chu Guo wiped the blood off his cheek with his hand and laughed softly, "Why don't we just come clean? Sooner or later we'll have to find out... who exactly is my father?"

Xie Xuanyi was silent again.

He looked at Deng Baiyi, and then at the young man with clear eyes.

Deng Baiyi vaguely sensed that the atmosphere was not right, so she whispered, "It's too stuffy here, I'm going to go out for some fresh air."

There were only two people left in the inn.

"This woman, what she said is so weird."

Chu Guo scratched his head and wondered, "It's all windy and dusty outside, how can we breathe freely? What's my father's status? Is it necessary to be so secretive?"

"Emperor Da Chu."

Xie Xuanyi thought for a long time, finally sighed, and uttered four words in a very light voice.

"what?"

Chu Guo was stunned and didn't react.

He still didn't understand what connection these four words had with his life experience.

Xie Xuanyi repeated it calmly, and this time, he said it in full: "Your father, the Great Chu Emperor."

After hearing these words, the smile on the young man's face gradually froze.

He seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in his life.
