Chapter 0003: Brother's Crisis

Alright, Xiao Qi, you can stay here and chat with me for a while

However, Qiu could never have imagined that her eldest son, Ren Xinghe, had already fallen into the hands of the Beigong family at this moment

At present, based on the calculation of the time, my brother should have already infiltrated the Northern Palace. It is too late to stop him from going there.

However, if it is not spoken out loud, the discordant relationship between these two brothers will always remain a source of concern for her as their mother

It is rumored that Ren Dongliu went missing during a trial, with no remains found.

Countless fragments of memories continuously emerge in Ren Cangqiong's mind. These clues gradually converge into a single thread, emerging from the depths of distant memories, becoming remarkably clear once again

Although the maid Xiao Qi was not very talkative, she was intelligent and refined. She was aware that the two young masters did not have a harmonious relationship. Seeing the expressions on the mistress and the young master's faces, she had a sudden inspiration and spoke up to break the somewhat awkward atmosphere: "Young Master, the medicine is getting cold, you should drink it quickly."

In a previous life, before the calamity of the demon clan erupted, Ren Cangqiong harbored numerous grievances against his elder brother, Ren Xinghe. He felt that Ren Xinghe was idle and unproductive, failing to assist the family in times of trouble, and instead causing further chaos at such a critical moment. In a fit of anger, he coldly rejected the requests of the Beigong family and expressed words that he would regret for a lifetime in his past life.

At this moment, Qiu did not understand that her second son was undergoing a violent storm within his heart

It was not until five years later, during the invasion of the demon clan, that my mother, Qiu, finally revealed the truth in a moment of desperation

Ren Xinghe and the Qiu family are both well aware of the *illustrated* books. Given Ren Cangqiong's pride, if he were to realize that he has been receiving his brother's favors all along, he would undoubtedly refuse to accept any of it

In a past life, I was willful and stubborn; although I deeply loved my mother, I seldom considered her feelings

Xiao Qi is the personal maid of Ren Cangqiong. In Xiao Qi's eyes, the young master is heaven, the young master is earth, the young master is everything

The young master's instructions are naturally to be followed without question

How should one respond in order to avoid the great tragedy of the past and to remedy the profound regrets left by previous lives? The time left for Ren Cangqiong is actually running short

While speaking, he handed over the medicine bowl

However, all this glory and status has become somewhat precarious due to a rumor that has persisted for several years

The Beigong family was thoroughly enraged by these words, and there was no room for leniency; they forcibly severed Ren Xinghe's tendons in his right hand, resulting in his permanent disability. During the battle against the invasion of the demon clan, Ren Xinghe, due to the inconvenience of his right hand, was bitten by a demon and began to show signs of demonization, ultimately taking his own life with a blade.

It turns out that Ren Xinghe went to the Beigong family to commit theft, and the entire incident originated from the ten failed cultivations of the purple pearl grass by Ren Cangqiong

The arrow is on the string

Xiao Qi, such a clever and well-behaved girl, is undoubtedly a good choice

Yet this truth left Ren Cangqiong regretting until his death

Ren Cangqiong's expression kept changing, and everything was observed by the Qiu family.

What troubled Ren Cangqiong the most was learning from his mother that the monthly stipend and resources he received from the family were double. One portion was for himself, while the other was for Ren Xinghe.

This remark indeed reminded Qiu, who urged repeatedly: "Yes, Cangqiong, you should take the medicine first."

Since I have the opportunity to make amends for everything, how can I allow my mother to continue bearing this burden?

The person sent by the Beigong family should already be on the way

Therefore, Ren Xinghe believes that given the limited resources of the two brothers, it would be better to concentrate their advantages and prioritize the cultivation of his younger brother, rather than wasting efforts on both, in order to carry forward their father's legacy.

Although the Third Level Moonlight Medal is not considered high in rank, it is a remarkable honor in Yunluo City

The main character of the event: Brother Ren Xinghe

As one of the ten prominent families, the Ren family naturally holds a top position in Yunluo City

Time: Seven days before grandmother's seventieth birthday, which is the evening of the eighth day.

As for Ren Xinghe's departure, it was precisely aimed at the "Revitalizing Nectar"; his motivation was also to save the Zizhu grass. He sought to preserve their lineage's contributions within the family.

Ren Cangqiong took in his mother's expression, feeling a deep pang of sorrow in his heart. The strained relationship between his two brothers must have always been a source of worry for their mother, wasn't it

It is imperative to find a solution immediately

However, the Milky Way does not bestow favors; those who seek to repay kindness are, in any case, unwilling to reveal all of this.

Lunar Medal

This elixir is hard to come by, and its effects are remarkably immediate. After consuming a bowl of the medicine, even the complexion of the heavens became more vibrant, and my thoughts became clearer.

At present, seeing that Ren Cangqiong's expression was not good, Qiu thought that he was once again blaming Ren Xinghe in his heart. Qiu's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but recalling her eldest son's admonition, she ultimately let out a light sigh and remained silent.

Event Process: Ren Xinghe, acting alone, went to the Beigong family of the ten major families in Yunluo City to commit theft and was caught in the act. The Beigong family used this to threaten and coerce Ren Cangqiong into handing over the Level 3 Moonlight Medal left by his father

And all of this, Ren Xinghe never allowed his mother to tell his younger brother

At that time, Ren Xinghe did not blame Ren Cangqiong after his tendons were severed. However, the already strained relationship between the two brothers plummeted even further due to this incident

The Beigong family is said to possess a substance known as "Revitalizing Nectar," which may be able to save the fate of the Purple Pearl Grass

At that time, he said: "The Third-Class Moonlight Medal is the honor left by my father. Not only does Ren Xinghe willingly choose to be a thief and fall from grace, but he also brings shame to my father. How the Beigong family chooses to deal with this is entirely up to you."

Although it is merely a small change in the son, in the eyes of a mother, it will naturally be magnified infinitely

That was the regret he could never forgive himself for until his death

Sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, the spring breeze of February brushes against my face, carrying a hint of coolness. This cool wind gradually calms the mind of Ren Cangqiong, which has become somewhat overheated after his rebirth.

In a previous life, everything my brother did with great care was hidden from the heavens. It was only when the demon clan pressed in, and my brother transformed into a demon and took his own life, that my mother cried and revealed the truth.

The first turning point in Ren Cangqiong's life after his rebirth was presented before him. How could he avoid a repeat of the tragedy? Thoughts raced through Ren Cangqiong's mind

These words undoubtedly amounted to a pronouncement of Ren Xinghe's fate

After Ren Cangqiong finished taking the medicine, the smile on Qiu's face grew even more pronounced. She felt that tonight this second son was indeed quite different; not only had he become more sensible and enlightened, but he was also much more obedient.

In other words, Ren Cangqiong alone occupied the resources of the two brothers

The targets of these individuals who take advantage of others' misfortunes are actually quite clear, which is the Level 3 Yuehua Medal

Ren Xinghe's actions are motivated by his younger brother, Ren Cangqiong, who possessed the seed of the Dao even in the womb. Generally speaking, those who possess the seed of the Dao are considered geniuses

If mother were to find out about this matter concerning elder brother, I fear she would become so anxious that it might harm her health

Ren Cangqiong waved his hand and instructed, "Xiao Qi, you stay here and talk to my mother while I go out for some fresh air"

Moreover, my mother has endured great suffering over the years. There have been persistent rumors from the outside world that my father, who has been cultivating far away in the Heavenly Pavilion, has perished, which has further darkened my mother's mood

... ...

Fortunately, he was reborn

As a result, the Ren Dongliu lineage was awarded a Third-Class Yuehua Medal

This rumor instantly rendered the status of the Ren Cangqiong family within the clan quite awkward. Various versions of doubts were incessantly heard, and those who sought to take advantage of the situation emerged like mushrooms after rain, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of an impending storm.

In this lifetime, no matter what, the vast sky will not allow the tragedy at https://www.hetushu.com to repeat itself

Regarding the relationship between these two sons, Qiu is also quite troubled. She is very aware of all the sacrifices that her eldest son, Ren Xinghe, has made in private, and as a mother, she sees it clearly.

Therefore, tonight, it is essential to devise a proper solution to prevent this tragedy

He knows that it is not appropriate to alarm their mother about his brother's situation for the time being. Otherwise, given their mother's deep affection for her son, it might inadvertently complicate matters.

If one must take out the Moonlight Medal for exchange, Ren Cangqiong would not hesitate to part with it

It is precisely for this reason that the Ren family resides in a standalone courtyard residence in Yunluo City

"Xiao Qi, help Young Master Fu back to his room to rest." Qiu felt that since the child was just recovering from illness, he should rest more.

In their previous lives, the two brothers were always estranged and misunderstood due to their differing personalities, which left Ren Cangqiong with a lasting regret until his death

Ren Cangqiong nodded, very cooperatively pouring the entire bowl of medicine that Xiao Qi handed over into his mouth, gulping it down until the bowl was turned upside down.

Ren Cangqiong's series of "abnormal" behaviors today has brought too many surprises to the Qiu family. She indeed hopes to have someone to share and process this together.

And at that moment, it was too late. No matter how much regret filled the heart under the vast sky, there was no strength left to turn back the tide

The Ren Cangqiong lineage was selected by the mysterious force, the Heavenly Pavilion, to enter the Moonlight Palace for cultivation, due to his father, Ren Dongliu, rising to prominence sixteen years ago.

In Yunluo City, there are ten prominent families, the most distinguished in status

In the previous life, I owed my brother too much; in this life, I should repay that debt

Calculating the time, my brother in the Beigong family should have already taken action. Even...
