The setting sun was like blood, leaving a long shadow on the buildings of all sizes.
At the corner of Beimang City, a silver-robed youth knelt on the grass. He clenched his teeth tightly and punched the dry grass. The weeds on the ground scattered around the youth in a sorry state.
"F * ck reincarnation, f * ck reincarnation…" At this moment, the young man's expression was extremely gloomy. He frowned as if he was enduring great pain as he repeated this sentence over and over again…
After a long time, a drop of rain fell on the young man's head, and then…The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The young man slowly raised his head and his pitch-black eyes swept towards the sky. His self-mocking smile was slightly bitter.
"It's been a thousand years…If I knew that it would take a thousand years, I would rather die in the cycle of reincarnation…Now, where am I going to find her now? Where am I going to find my parents who I have never met before…"
Heavy rain poured down and belated thunder repeatedly resounded across the sky. Dark clouds once again blocked the sunlight. The young man quietly lay on the grass, allowing the rain to flow down his body…
The rain in the north was a little cold, but even so, the number of pedestrians on the streets did not decrease. Countless Beimang people were praying to the heavens gratefully. The drought-stricken Beimang also welcomed the first blessing of the Goddess of Nature. The rain not only nourished thousands of trees, but also brought joy to the entire Beimang.
After an unknown period of time, the rain gradually stopped. Even the setting sun that was blocked by the dark clouds tried to squeeze out of the clouds…
On top of the weeds, the young man's tightly shut eyes slowly opened. The heavy rain had brought life to Beimang and seemed to have washed away the pressure in his heart.
He slowly straightened his body and turned towards the setting sun.
“.. It's been a thousand years. I wonder how Chi Xue is doing. Chi Xue, are you okay? Was he awake? Hehe…You probably forgot about me too. After all, I'm just your guard…It's just a dog!" Then, he laughed self-deprecatingly,"Hehe, I wonder how Senior Ye Xiao is doing. Sigh…" Since you let me live…Then, Senior, don't worry! Ye Qiu will live well…"
......
Beimang City belonged to the Northern Mystic Empire. In the entire Northern Mystic Empire, excluding the capital city, it was considered a large city. Other than the City Lord's Mansion in the center, there were also some families in a few directions. Among them, there was no lack of powerful ancient families. Even the City Lord's Mansion did not dare to easily provoke them...
In the noisy restaurant, Ye Qiu sat on a table and chair in the corner. He propped his chin up and lazily looked at the busy streets. Behind him, the burly man, Zhang Biao, stood like a guard…
"Big brother Zhang, you don't have to be like this. You should go and greet the other guests…" From that day onwards, Ye Qiu had a good impression of Zhang Biao. After Ye Qiu broke his arm and scared away the guests, not only did Zhang Biao not get angry, he even called Ye Qiu Young Master and even prepared a silver robe for Ye Qiu. Although there was no lack of overt compliance, Ye Qiu didn't care. After experiencing reincarnation, he knew how to endure. Zhang Biao clearly belonged to this type of person. Ye Qiu actually wanted to become this type of person…
If he had known how to endure back then and not go to the Flowing Fire Palace to take revenge, he would not have burned his soul and entered the cycle of reincarnation. He would not have to endure the loneliness of these thousand years…However, another voice reminded him that if he could really endure such a thing, was he still a human being? Since he had already done it, what was there to regret? He had never regretted it before. If it happened again, he would still do the same thing…
Everyone had their own stubbornness and a reverse scale. To Ye Qiu, Chi Xue was his reverse scale. And Zhang Biao in front of him clearly hadn't touched the thing that made him obsessed. If he really forced Zhang Biao into a corner, Ye Qiu was sure that even if it was a god, he would bite back. A hint of malevolence appeared in Zhang Biao's eyes. Even his extreme concealment was captured by Ye Qiu.
"It's okay, Young Master. They usually take care of it. What do you want to eat today? I'll get them to get it for you." As he spoke, Zhang Biao pointed at a busy waiter.
"Haha, Big Brother Zhang, just call me Ye Qiu. I won't eat, just come up and sit. Oh right, how's your hand? I'm really sorry about what happened that day…"
Zhang Biao looked at Ye Qiu in shock. He hadn't expected Ye Qiu's attitude to change so quickly, but he still hurriedly replied,"Thank you for your relationship, Young Master. If Young Master had not shown mercy that day, I would have wasted my effort. Young Master, why don't you…"
Before he could finish speaking, a cold gaze had already locked onto him. Zhang Biao glanced at Ye Qiu, who was still fine just a moment ago. Why did his expression suddenly change…He could only rub his palms and smile apologetically."This... Little... Young Master," Just as he called out, he suddenly thought of something. His expression changed and he smiled foolishly." Look at my memory. Damn it, Ye... Brother Ye…Haha."
Seeing Zhang Biao change his mind, Ye Qiu's cold face revealed a smile. He pointed at the stool opposite him and softly said,"Come…" Big Brother Zhang, please sit. Ye Qiu isn't a young master, and he doesn't have the fate of a young master. Isn't it good to call him that?”
Zhang Biao hurriedly sat on the stool opposite him. At this moment, Zhang Biao didn't dare to be negligent. He looked at Ye Qiu with a fawning expression.
Ye Qiu looked at the cautious man and sighed helplessly."Big Brother Zhang, don't be so nervous. Just treat me as an ordinary customer. Ye Qiu isn't a heartless person. I treated you like that, yet you still treat me like this. If I still don't know what's good for me, then I really don't deserve to be a human…"
"Haha, that place…As long as he didn't neglect Brother Ye…The burly man's tensed nerves also slowly relaxed after Ye Qiu's words. His previous fawning smile also eased, and his silly smile was much more real than before.
Seeing the burly man relax, Ye Qiu smiled and said,"Other than thanking me, I have some questions to ask big brother Zhang. To be honest, big brother Zhang is the first person I have spoken to since I arrived in Beimang City…Uh, although... The method is a little unique…"
Zhang Biao listened attentively. When he heard the last part, he looked embarrassed. He said,"Hehe... Brother Ye, don't take it to heart. Just ask…As long as I know it, I'll definitely tell brother Ye everything."
"Haha, can you tell me about the situation in Beimang City? Other than knowing that there's a city lord's mansion and a few families, I don't know anything else..." Originally, Ye Qiu had wanted to go to the Snow God Peak. However, after thinking about it carefully during these few days in Beimang City, he seemed to have some hesitation.
He clearly remembered how difficult it was for him to climb up with Chi Xue in his arms. Not to mention the snow beasts of the Great Snow Mountain, just that straight Snow God Peak, without the strength of a Tier 4, wanting to climb up was simply a dream…His current Battle Qi had dropped to the middle stage of Rank-1…Therefore, he decided to stay in Beimang City for the time being.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Biao answered seriously,"The entire Beimang City is centered around the City Lord's Mansion. The other places are under the jurisdiction of the various large clans. These families were only controlled by the City Lord during times of war. Usually, they maintained an unrelated relationship with the City Lord's Estate. Perhaps it had been a long time since they last fought. Now, even the City Lord could not easily order these families around. There's a saying in Beimang City that Brother Ye must remember. It's better to offend the City Lord's Estate than to provoke these families…"
"Would you rather offend the City Lord's Estate than provoke these families?”Ye Qiu raised his eyebrows. He remembered that the Flowing Fire City was not like this in the past. Everything there was decided by the Flowing Fire Palace, including the imperial family. But here…Ye Qiu didn't think too much about it and immediately asked,"Then will these families have conflicts with the City Lord?”
"No. Although the City Lord's Estate doesn't care about this, there aren't many families that dare to offend the City Lord's Estate. After all, the City Lord is the number one expert in Beimang City…"
"Number one expert? What rank is he?" Ye Qiu was also curious about Beimang's number one expert.
"This is not something I can know. It is said that many years ago, the patriarchs of the three great clans could not defeat the city lord even if they joined forces…" Zhang Biao replied excitedly. After all, he had lived in Beimang for several years. As a citizen of Beimang, he was happy to see the City Lord's strength.
"Three great clans?" Ye Qiu asked curiously,
"Yes, there are many small clans in Beimang City that are dependent on the three large clans. The Liu clan in the eastern city, the Zhao clan in the western city, and the Shen clan in our southern city…"
"Then, what about Beicheng? What is that place for?"
Zhang Biao smiled honestly. He seemed to know that Ye Qiu would ask this question, so he said proudly,"That place's status in Beimang City is no less than the City Lord's Mansion. That was because the former president lived there. The Beimang Academy that was founded by the Country Protecting Marshal Ling Tian and Marshal Ling.”
"Protector Marshal, Beimang Academy? Err... Tell me about it. Look at your proud face. That place is not bad, right?”Ye Qiu's interest was piqued.
"This... I don't know much about this. I only know that Marshal Ling Tian's reputation in the entire Northern Mystic Empire is even higher than the entire Imperial Family! He is the guardian of our Northern Mystic Empire. Many people say that if it wasn't for Marshal Ling Tian, the Northern Mystic Empire would have long…Zhang Biao lowered his voice and said regretfully,"As for Beimang Academy, I know that the people there are very powerful. It's very difficult to enter there. I wanted to enter there back then, but they didn't accept me. Not only did they want people with good aptitude, but they also didn't want people who were older!”
Ye Qiu looked at the helpless burly man with a smile. If Beimang Academy really accepted him, then it would really be strange. Ye Qiu thought about the first time he met the burly man and looked at Zhang Biao strangely.
"Why are you looking at me like that? When I went to Beimang Academy, I was a very hardworking youth. It's just that…But later on, it slowly... I'm crippled..." He looked at Ye Qiu awkwardly and whispered,
"Uh... Hehe…" Ye Qiu was amused by the burly man's expression. He consoled him in a serious tone,"Beimang Academy will not accept you…It's their loss."
