Holy Star Empire, Linyan City!
This was a particularly prosperous city. During the day, it was crowded with vehicles and horses. At night, the songs and songs were smooth and the city was bustling. In addition, the location of Linyan City was relatively close to the capital, which made this city more prosperous.
The early spring was coming, and everything was going to revive.
However, Linyan City welcomed the last snowfall before the early spring.
The flying snowflakes were like white feathers, flying in every corner of Linyan City. They were covered in silver and were covered in white. The cold wind was like the roar of a ghost. The cold wind was as painful as a knife on his face.
On a snowy night, the vast street was empty and extremely quiet.
But at this moment, a pathetic figure was slowly moving on the ground.
The man's whole body was lying on the ground, and he was crawling on the ground with the joints of his limbs.
A long drag mark was dragged out behind him on the thick layer of snow. The white ice and snow were dyed with bright red blood.
This was a handsome young man of about 15 or 16 years old.
His facial features were tall and straight, and his facial features were resolute. A pair of jet-black pupils surged with endless anger and hatred. It was a type of anger that originated from the soul, a type of hatred that originated from the bones.
The young man's face was as pale as paper, and his teeth bit his lips tightly. Blood kept flowing out of the corners of his mouth. Before the blood fell into the snow, it had already formed into a red ice crystal.
Most of the meridians and bones in his body were broken, and even the tendons of his hands and feet were broken.
What kind of hatred was this?
"Will he harm a person to such an extent?"
"Brother Chu Hen..."
Suddenly, a clear voice full of anxiety and panic, mixed with the cold wind, came.
The next moment, a delicate and beautiful figure directly fell in front of the youth. This was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Her skin was as white as snow. Her pair of large eyes were filled with tears as she looked at the dispirited youth in front of her.
"Brother Chu Hen, how did you end up like this? That damned bastard Liu Xiao, I, Ye Yao, will definitely not let him off..."
Looking at the girl's anxious and angry look, the young man's lips moved slightly, and his eyes were a little complicated.
The young man's name was Chu Hen, and he was one of the four geniuses of the Blood Prince Academy.
The Blood Prince was the largest academy in Linyan City, the 'Young College'. The so-called 'Young College' was a place for juniors at the age of weakness to teach martial arts.
When they reached a certain age, the students of the Young Academy would participate in the examination of leaving the academy and step into the Advanced Martial House. From then on, they would truly step on the path of Martial Arts.
In another three months, Chu Hen would take the test of the advanced Martial House.
It was said that the one who came to Linyan City to recruit students this year was one of the famous five high-level academies in the imperial capital, 'Emperor Wind Martial House.' Originally, as one of the four great geniuses of the Blood Prince Sect, it was not difficult for Chu Hen to enter Emperor Wind Martial House.
However, she did not expect that something unexpected would happen to Chu Hen without any warning.
...
This evening, Chu Hen was just like usual. After he finished his necessary cultivation homework, he was ready to go back to rest.
But at this time, he received a letter, which said that he should go to the Fengwan Pavilion on the south side of the college for a while. Looking at the familiar handwriting, Chu Hen did not think much and went straight to it.
But when he arrived at Feng Wanting, he did not see the messenger, but another delicate-looking girl.
Before Chu Hen could ask her about it, the delicate girl tore her dress and hugged Chu Hen, shouting for help.
Chu Hen was caught off guard and had no time to argue.
A group of people appeared, and the leader of this group was none other than Liu Xiao, the young master of the Liu Family, who was the head of the four geniuses of the Blood Prince.
Looking at Liu Xiao's mocking and proud smile, the weeping delicate girl, and the angry eyes around him... Chu Hen knew that he had been framed.
This was an incomparably poor and simple move, but 'human witness and material evidence' were all present, making it difficult for Chu Hen to wash away even if he fell into the Yellow River.
Following that, an even more brutal blow followed.
Liu Xiao, the head of the four geniuses, attacked Chu Hen without hesitation.
Liu Xiao's cultivation was at the seventh level of the Pulse Opening Realm, while Chu Hen's cultivation was only at the sixth level. In addition, the former had the bloodline boundary of the 'Lion Power Martial Body'. Furthermore, Chu Hen's mind was in a state of chaos after being framed. Not only was he quickly defeated by Liu Xiao, but his nine major Martial Meridians in the human body were also shattered, and the tendons of his hands and feet were also broken.
...
This was a devastating blow to those high-spirited geniuses.
After the incident, Liu Xiao's reputation became well-known, and he was praised by everyone in Linyan City.
As for Chu Hen, he was expelled from the Blood Prince Academy and suffered more pain than death.
...
"Brother Chu Hen, don't worry. I will definitely cure you. Our Ye Family has a lot of panaceas..." Ye Yao's tears kept rolling in her eyes. She tried to help Chu Hen up.
However, Chu Hen, whose tendons and vessels had been destroyed, could not get up at all.
Ye Yao was already crying from anxiety. She shouted in a certain direction, "Sister, Brother Chu Hen is here. Come here quickly!"
"Shasha..."
The sound of footsteps stepping on the snow could be heard from far to near. A young and beautiful girl walked over. The girl was wearing a white mink coat. Her long black hair, delicate facial features, and full of noble temperament.
Behind her were four or five fierce guards.
"Sister, please save Brother Chu Hen..." Ye Yao's eyes lit up.
The elegant girl sighed softly and then took out a delicate small bottle. "Xiao Yao, take this for him to relieve the pain."
"Good, good..."
Ye Yao quickly took the small bottle, poured out a few round brown pills from it, and placed them to Chu Hen's mouth. "Brother Chu Hen, quickly eat it."
However, Chu Hen did not pay attention to her at all. His deep eyes were looking at the noble girl coldly.
Ye Yao was startled by Chu Hen's appearance. In her memory, Chu Hen had never shown such an expression to her sister.
The elegant girl looked at Chu Hen indifferently and said calmly, "Chu Hen, I know you were confused at that moment. I hope you can correct yourself and be an ordinary person in the future."
Hearing this, Ye Yao looked at her in disbelief. "Sister, how could you say something like that? You know Brother Chu Hen, he can't do such a thing. The person he likes has always been you!"
"The person he likes has always been you!"
The elegant girl's expression was still indifferent. "These are no longer important."
"Haha..." Chu Hen suddenly laughed, but it was a disdainful sneer. His lips moved slightly, and his voice was as cold as a knife. "First Miss Ye You, you should do something to frame me!"
What?
"How is that possible?" Ye Yao couldn't help but blurt out, "Brother Chu Hen, you can't wrong my sister. My sister won't hurt you..."
Chu Hen's eyes were still cold, as sharp as icicles under the eaves.
"Miss Ye You, the letter you asked me to go to the Maple Pavilion was written by you."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Brother Chu Hen, you must have made a mistake. It must be a letter written by someone who pretended to be my sister..."
Ye Yao was so anxious that her tears kept falling.
In Shaozong Academy, she relied on her sister the most, and admired Chu Hen the most. In Ye Yao's heart, she had long regarded Chu Hen as her future brother-in-law.
But the situation in front of her made her really scared.
Chu Hen's eyes were a little scarlet. This was anger, absolute anger. His cold eyes stared at Ye You's beautiful face.
"The letter was forged by someone else, I can believe it. But when Liu Xiao and the others framed me, you, Ye You, were also in the Fengwan Pavilion... You can hide it, but the fragrance of the lavender purse on your body betrayed you. You hid in the dark and watched me lose my meridians. How dare you say that you have nothing to do with it?"
Chu Hen almost roared out like a beast.
Ye Yao, who was next to him, was shocked and kneeled down on the ground.
There was a slight emotional fluctuation in Ye You's eyes, but she soon calmed down.
When she looked at Chu Hen again, there was a hint of pity in her eyes. This kind of pity was just like how the high-ranking nobles looked at beggars on the roadside.
The look in his eyes was more like a sharp knife stabbing straight into Chu Hen's heart.
He hoped to hear Ye You arguing. He hoped that Ye You would defend herself. It was just a conspiracy of Liu Xiao. She did not participate in this matter. It was Chu Hen who misunderstood her.
However, Ye You did not do that.
She didn't need to explain at all because there was no need to do so. She was the eldest daughter of the Ye family and one of the four geniuses of the Blood Prince. At this moment, Chu Hen was no different from the beggars in the eyes of the royal family and the nobles.
There was such a big gap between them, so there was no need to explain.
"Considering that we've known each other before, I'll send someone to inform the General's Mansion to come and find you..."
Ye You's indifferent tone was full of pride.
Chu Hen gritted his teeth and spat out a word coldly, "Get lost!"
"You'd better behave yourself!"
Ye You frowned slightly. She didn't look at Chu Hen anymore and turned to leave.
Ye Yao, who was standing to one side, hurriedly shouted in panic, "No, sister, don't leave Brother Chu Hen here. He'll die..."
"Miss Ye Yao, I will immediately inform the General's Manor to find him. You don't have to worry."
Before Ye Yao could finish her words, the two guards forcefully took her away.
Before leaving, one of the guards looked at Chu Hen with extreme disgust and contempt. "Humph, do you still think you are one of the four geniuses of the Junior Sect College? A disabled person dares to slander our Miss? Bah!"
The guard spat on the ground and then turned to leave with disdain.
Ye You and the others soon disappeared in the night, and Ye Yao's crying gradually disappeared.
Chu Hen's eyes became sharper and sharper.
...
Near the gate of the Ye Family.
Ye You suddenly slowed down and motioned for several guards to take Ye Yao in.
"Swish!"
When Ye You was left alone, a young figure appeared not far behind her.
"Hehe, congratulations on getting rid of that cripple, Miss Ye You."
The frivolous laughter made Ye You frown. "Liu Li, are you here to say these sarcastic words?"
This young man was no other than Liu Xiao, the first genius of the Blood Prince. He had a slender figure, was in high spirits, and his heroic eyebrows were full of arrogance.
"Hehe, Miss Ye You, I've dealt with Chu Hen for you. Won't you reward me?"
"I didn't let you destroy his cultivation," Ye You said coldly.
"But you didn't stop me, which means that you don't object to me doing this." Liu Xiao smiled playfully.
Ye You's eyes were cold. She ignored him and turned to leave.
Then, Liu Xiao said again, "I'm here to tell you that the examination ceremony of the Emperor's Wind Martial House will be held at your daughter's birthday party in three months. Are you satisfied now?"
Ye You paused for a moment, and her face relaxed a lot. Then she returned home alone.
"Hehe." Liu Xiao laughed proudly. His body immediately moved and disappeared into the night sky.
...
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the cold wind was bone-chilling.
It was still the same street, still the same youth.
However, the scar behind him had long been buried by thick ice and snow.
Chu Hen moved more and more slowly, and his body temperature was getting lower and lower. His handsome face was already a little green. His originally painful limbs and body became numb and he couldn't feel anything.
Suddenly, a slender figure walked up to Chu Hen.
Chu Hen looked up and saw a gentle middle-aged man's face.
This was a strange face. The man's appearance was not handsome, but it made people feel very comfortable and pleasing to the eye. An elegant and calm temperament was revealed between his eyebrows.
The man's eyes were as calm as a pool of water as he looked at the young man in front of him. His lips moved slightly as he softly spat out a few words.
"Your life is not good."
Your life is not good...
It didn't sound like there was any emotional fluctuation, as if it was a casual sentence.
Chu Hen's lips trembled slightly, but he ignored him and did not ask for help. Instead, he stubbornly supported his broken body and crawled away.
Chu Hen, who was exhausted, only felt that his body weighed ten thousand pounds.
After crawling for less than two meters, he fell to the ground because of exhaustion. Chu Hen turned around with difficulty and let the cold snow fall on his face.
Chu Hen's consciousness became more and more blurred, and he slowly closed his eyes.
"Liu Xiao, if I, Chu Hen, don't die today, I will definitely take your whole family. The whole family, sad..."
