After everyone was reborn, I was strictly disciplined.

"don't want!"

He doesn't want to go back!

The Cangxuan Continent is so wonderful. He is the sole heir of the Fire Marrow Pill Holy Land and the Thousand Machine Pavilion, and his status is so noble that he can walk sideways in the Cangxuan Continent.

He was born with a celestial body and a natural sword bone, and his cultivation speed was so fast that he was recognized as a cultivation prodigy throughout the entire continent.

More importantly, his body is healthy and strong, and he no longer has to be bedridden from time to time like in his previous life, unable to eat this or that, and even running and jumping have become a luxury.

Here, if he wanted to eat spiritual fruits, his disciples would rush to offer them to him; if he wanted to play with flying swords, he could ride across the sea of ​​clouds. Even if he occasionally caused a little trouble, his relatives and elders would just laugh and indulge him. No one ever dared to stop him, and no one could restrain him in the slightest.

This was the freedom and power he had dreamed of in his past life!

How could he possibly give up?!

But he dared not utter a single word of these innermost thoughts to Xie Ciwen.

He didn't know how his second brother had crossed time and space to come to this Cangxuan Continent, nor did he know how long his second brother could stay here.

From childhood to adulthood, Xie Ciwen's innate elder brotherly authority always easily suppressed his unruly behavior.

Even though he now lives in a different world, the deep-seated awe he felt towards his second brother remained unchanged; he really didn't want to upset him.

But that refusal was too hasty, even bordering on abrupt and defiant.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xie Xingran regretted it. He shrank back and tightened his grip on Xie Ciwen's robe, afraid that his second brother would really get angry.

Xie Ciwen looked down at his younger brother's stubborn, flushed face in his arms. His dark eyes were filled with obvious resistance, and he instantly understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

He remembered the thing that called itself "the system," which had suddenly appeared in front of him a few days ago, crying its eyes out.

He said he really couldn't control Xie Xingran anymore, and if he let the kid run wild, he would probably cause a huge disaster. He had no choice but to use his last cross-world authority to bring him to this world.

Thinking of the system's pitiful appearance, a hint of helplessness flashed across Xie Ciwen's eyes, but a very faint smile appeared on his lips, carrying a sense of being both amused and exasperated.

He raised his hand and gently poked Xie Xingran's chubby cheek with his fingertip. The touch was soft and delicate, with a childlike tenderness. But his tone was a bit deeper: "Ranran, look at your second brother."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xingran shuddered, like a mischievous child who had been called out, and instantly suppressed all resistance.

He timidly raised his head, his eyelashes still trembling slightly, and met Xie Ciwen's unfathomable dark eyes.

There was no anger in his voice, but rather a seriousness that made him unable to look away. He subconsciously called out softly, "Second Brother..."

Xie Ciwen's expression remained serious as he gently stroked Ranran's cheek with his fingertips, saying each word clearly, "Ranran, do you know why I came into this world?"

Xie Xingran subconsciously shook her head, her clear eyes filled with confusion.

How could he know? Second Brother should be in that mortal world, guarding the Xie family's property and living the same life as in his previous life.

"It's your system."

Xie Ciwen explained slowly and calmly, "It said it couldn't control you, so it deliberately brought me into this world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Ciwen's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to his past life.

Since Xie Xingran passed away in his previous life, the Xie family villa has been shrouded in a heavy gloom that lingers for a long time.

The Xie family has always been rational and restrained. After the funeral, the eldest brother continued to go to the company to handle affairs on time, the eldest sister-in-law also returned to her usual dignified and proper demeanor, and Xie Weiyao devoted all his energy to his work. He went to work as usual, the third brother competed as usual, and the father and mother continued to live in the old house.

To outsiders, they seemed completely unaffected by Xie Xingran's departure, remaining the glamorous and wealthy family they always were.

But only Xie Ciwen knew that his calmness was nothing but a facade.

In the study late at night, the father stares blankly at Ranran's photo; the mother, while tidying the wardrobe, touches Ranran's clothes she never had a chance to wear and secretly sheds tears; the eldest brother's expression freezes instantly when someone mentions "Young Master" at a drinking party...

Their hearts were left empty because of the passing of that vibrant little life; it was a regret that could never be made up for.

So when the system offered to let him see Ranran one more time and stop the child from causing trouble, he agreed almost without hesitation.

"Damn, it's that!"

Xie Xingran's eyes widened suddenly, and she instantly bristled.

The system's previous warning immediately flashed through his mind!

"I will make you pay!"

So this is the price the system mentioned! It actually brought his most feared second brother here!

He's finished!

Xie Xingran gritted her teeth in hatred, her cheeks puffed out, wishing she could immediately dive into her sea of ​​consciousness, drag out that meddlesome system, and tear it to pieces.

"Ranran, don't swear."

Xie Ciwen's brows furrowed instantly, and his tone suddenly became stern, carrying a clear tone of disapproval.

Xie Xingran shuddered in fright and fell silent instantly, her anger freezing on her face.

He cautiously raised his eyes, glancing timidly at Xie Ciwen. Seeing that his second brother's expression remained somber, he quickly reached out his small hand, gently tugged at a strand of Xie Ciwen's black hair that fell across his chest, and spoke in a soft, apologetic voice:

"I'm sorry, second brother... I was so angry... I'll never say it again..."

It looked just like a kitten that had done something wrong, with a hint of ingratiating docility.

Seeing his remorseful and corrective appearance, Xie Ciwen swallowed back the reprimand that was on the tip of his tongue.

He sighed softly, raised his hand and ruffled Xie Xingran's fluffy hair. The moment his fingertips touched the soft hair, he suddenly felt a violent dizziness, his vision went black, and he swayed uncontrollably.

"Second Brother!"

Xie Xingran was so frightened by this sudden turn of events that her heart skipped a beat. She quickly stretched out her arms and tightly hugged Xie Ciwen's neck, clutching his robes. Her voice was filled with panic as she cried out, and tears almost fell again.

Hearing her younger brother's anxious cries, Xie Ciwen forced herself to wake up with her strong willpower.

He steadied himself, his steps unsteady, and carried Xie Xingran to a pearwood chair to sit down. His fingertips were slightly cold, and his face had become a bit pale.

Even if Xie Xingran was mischievous and carefree, she couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache when she saw Xie Ciwen looking so weak.

He reached out his small hand and gently touched Xie Ciwen's cheek, his voice trembling with tears as he cautiously asked, "Second Brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xie Ciwen took a deep breath, and the tightness in his chest eased slightly.

He slowly opened his eyes, and although there was still a trace of weariness in them, his eyes had already regained their clarity.

He stared intently at the worried child in his arms, his tone solemn and serious: "Ranran, listen to me. Everything you did in this world, including your thoughts of attacking the Chosen One, the system told me in detail."

He paused, then gently pressed his fingertips against Xie Xingran's brow, his gaze sharp yet filled with deep concern:

"Ranran, listen to your second brother, you mustn't kill the Chosen One, understand?"
