115: Brothers talk, Shadow Action
Li Wuji's voice pierced the silence between the two like a sharp knife. Hearing this, Li Mingxuan slowly raised his head, first glancing at the gradually calming ripples, then the two looked at each other.
"Brother, do you know about the matter in Mo City?"
"I've heard a little. They say a traitor from the Martial Security Bureau joined the Beast God Sect and caused chaos in Mo City, resulting in considerable damage."
"Then, Brother, do you believe this conclusion?"
Li Mingxuan naturally knew this was the official explanation to the outside world, otherwise, it would cause turmoil for both the authorities and the authority of the Martial Security Bureau.
As a participant in this matter, combined with the subsequent investigation, he naturally knew the true truth of the incident.
"Truth is always only for the few, but isn't what the vast majority believe just another kind of truth?"
Li Wuji's expression remained unchanged, his face still bearing that calm look. "So, what exactly are you struggling with that's making you so restless?"
Li Mingxuan hesitated for a moment, his expression hardening. He then checked his surroundings to ensure no one was paying attention before slowly and detailedly recounting the truth he had learned.
And Li Wuji also showed an expression of surprise and shock, but he quickly regained his composure.
Li Mingxuan saw all of this. "Brother, what do you think..."
"No, it's not what I think, but do *you* think what he did was right?"
Just as Li Mingxuan was speaking, Li Wuji directly interrupted him.
"Or rather, do you think the current state of the world is right?"
"I, I don't know."
A flicker of confusion flashed in Li Mingxuan's eyes. Reason told him that Fu Wenbo's actions were too crazy and extreme.
But if Fu Wenbo's younger sister were replaced by Li Wuji, he wasn't sure what crazy things he would do either.
Li Wuji looked at the hesitant Li Mingxuan and suddenly spoke, "Mingxuan, do you still remember when we were kids?"
"What?"
Li Mingxuan, who was deep in thought, was suddenly interrupted by this sentence and subconsciously asked the question.
"Do you still remember the big fire at the orphanage when we were kids?"
Li Wuji's voice rose slightly, and his eyes became sharp.
"Who do you think was wrong in the massacre amidst that sea of fire back then? Was it you, who was only a few years old and didn't understand anything, or was it the one who killed everyone?"
These words were like a heavy hammer smashing hard against Li Mingxuan's chest. He looked at his older brother, still somewhat stunned.
At this moment, he actually felt the other person was a little strange, but he would never mistake that familiar voice and familiar face.
"Weakness is the original sin. I've always known you have a strong character, and you seemed sensible because you didn't want me to worry."
"Actually, deep down, you've never forgotten that massacre in the sea of fire. You've been suppressing yourself, not letting yourself investigate, not letting yourself think, but some things aren't things you can escape just by wanting to."
Li Mingxuan widened his eyes, but then he fell silent. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, how did you know?"
"I remember you had a serious illness when you were a child. With a persistent high fever, you started talking nonsense or perhaps speaking your true thoughts."
Li Wuji smiled slightly. He walked up to Li Mingxuan and patted his shoulder. "At that time, you kept repeating the words 'revenge' and calling out to your family. I remember it all."
"Brother, I..."
"Now you've grown up, and you also have the ability to investigate the truth of what happened back then."
Saying this, Li Wuji turned to look at the artificial lake where ripples were appearing due to the wind. "As for the matter concerning Fu Wenbo, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
Li Mingxuan didn't know what to say. After a long time, he took a deep breath. "Perhaps, I was originally a crazy person?"
Hearing this, Li Wuji suddenly laughed. "Young people should act like young people. Do you have confidence in tomorrow's competition?"
"Yes!"
Li Mingxuan's eyes were full of fervor and fighting spirit. At this moment, he only felt incredibly relaxed all over, as if he had endless strength.
"Go, make yourself stronger, strong enough to do anything you want to do, even strong enough to change this terminally ill world!"
Li Wuji's voice was very light, but it made Li Mingxuan feel an unprecedented shock. After recovering, he showed a brilliant smile.
"Brother, thank you!"
"Thank me for what?"
"Nothing."
"Brat!"
Li Wuji laughed and cursed, then waved his hand. "Go back. That National College Competition is a gathering of prodigies. If you don't work hard, don't get eliminated in the first round."
"Hehehe, impossible. Just look at whose younger brother I am."
After speaking, Li Mingxuan waved his hand and ran towards the hotel with a smile. "Brother, watch my performance."
Seeing this scene, Li Wuji didn't speak, only kept a faint smile on his face. "When this matter is settled, it will be time to leave."
The next moment, Li Wuji instantly disappeared from the spot. The koi that had previously swum away swam back again, as if nothing had happened here.
Meanwhile, at the Dark Night Bar in Jiangning District, Shadow, who had already broken through to Martial Grandmaster, returned after only half a day.
As soon as he entered the basement, he felt an extremely impressive aura. He looked at the training room opposite with surprise.
"Could it be?"
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, the door of the training room exploded and shattered, actually flying directly towards Shadow.
Shadow's expression remained unchanged. The next moment, four black Black Shadow Guardss instantly appeared and blocked it.
"Hahahaha, I've finally broken through!"
As an excited laugh echoed around, Yang Shuo, emanating a terrifying aura and with lightning occasionally flashing around him, slowly walked out of the training room.
As if sensing something, his laughter stopped abruptly. A pair of eyes, which had somehow turned light blue, met Shadow's dark, indifferent eyes.
"Shadow, your Brother Yang has broken through to Martial Grandmaster. Later, I'll cover..."
But before he could finish speaking, the arms of the four black Black Shadow Guardss directly transformed into two sharp shadow blades, appearing around Yang Shuo the next second and directly attacking his vital points.
Lightning flashed in Yang Shuo's eyes. The next moment, the four black Black Shadow Guardss were actually directly dispersed by the lightning, and then turned into a hundred black afterimages, gathering again beside Shadow.
"Shadow, your new method is quite..."
Yang Shuo wanted to say something else, but after sensing the aura on Shadow's body at this moment, his eyes instantly widened. "Ying Ge, when did you become a Martial Grandmaster? Didn't you go out to meet Him?"
Shadow glanced coldly at Yang Shuo. "I've met the Master. Now I'm carrying out the Master's mission."
"What mission?"
"Notify everyone, search for the saint relic!"
"saint relic?"
"Go check on the Shadow Killer website yourself. I've already issued the mission there."
Ignoring Yang Shuo's confusion, Shadow directly turned and entered his own training room. He still had an important matter to attend to.
"Oh right, come with me to the Huang Family tomorrow."
