Chapter 8

After Su Hun left, Ai Yuhua was also about to get up and go back to the room, but suddenly he heard Xiao Wu who was waiting at the side say: "Master, please stop! It's too early for bedtime, since you are rarely free, can I see Yi'er? "

"..." Ai Yuhua pondered for a while, and said, "Okay... come here! Tell the nanny to bring the young master!"

"Yes!" Someone immediately responded.

"Thank you, Hierarch!!" Xiao Wu beamed with joy.

Ai Yuhua only gave a faint "hmm".

After less than a stick of incense, a woman about 30 years old came with a five or six-year-old boy.

That handsome boy who was still very childish, imitated the manner of the adults of the Phoenix Sect and bowed respectfully: "My child pays homage to father!"

Ai Yuhua still said calmly with no expression on his face: "Well, get up."

It turned out that Ai Yuhua wanted Xiao Wu's body, and this child named Ai Yi was their flesh and blood.But even though Xiaowu is already Ai Yuhua's woman, she is still only Ai Yuhua's personal maid in name, and Ai Yuhua has never given her any title, nor will she plan to give her any title in the future.

"Yi'er, come here!" Xiao Wu beckoned to her son.

"Mother!" As soon as Ai Yi changed his timid expression when speaking to his father, an innocent smile suddenly appeared on his somewhat nervous face, and he quickly ran to the side of his mother, hugging her thigh affectionately.

"Master," Xiao Wu hugged her son and said to Ai Yuhua, "I taught Yi'er a set of reforms a few days ago, let him show you how to do it, okay?"

"... Whip?" Ai Yuhua was taken aback.

"Yes, yes~" Xiao Wu was very proud of Ai Yuhua's shocked reaction, and nodded with a smile like a flower, "Our son is very powerful, isn't he? Then he can use the whip at a young age~" she said, At the same time, he took out a soft whip that he carried with him, and handed it to his injured son, "Come on! Wu'er, let your father see what you are capable of!"

"En!" Ai Yi took the whip longer than his body, and began to dance vigorously.

"..." Looking at his little son's young and mature appearance, Ai Yuhua couldn't tell what it was like for a moment.

Ai Yuhua's mother passed away early, and his father, as the head of a sect, was busy with the school affairs all day long just like him now, and hardly had time to look at his son.

Only when he saw that Ai Yuhua's martial arts strategies were far superior to those of his peers, would his father occasionally smile.

Therefore, in order to get his father's approval, or even to attract his father's little attention, Ai Yuhua always worked hard when he was a child-hard work, hard work, hard work... Do everything you can .

In the end, until the end of his life, his father was still thinking about the future of the Phoenix Sect. "...Hua'er, we must let the Phoenix Sect...unify the martial arts..." These were the last words he left for his son.It was as if he had never worried about how Ai Yuhua, who was only a teenager at that time, would spend his whole life alone in the world.

But there's nothing wrong with that, right?As a man, one should have the world in mind, and not be fettered by personal feelings.

Ai Yuhua has always said this to himself.So he has been walking the way of his father consciously or unconsciously.

It's just that at this moment, when he saw his young son repeating the same meaningless efforts as he did back then, he suddenly felt disturbed.

"Enough!" Ai Yuhua finally roared unbearably.

"...!!!" Xiao Aiyi never expected that his father not only did not reward him at all, but also became so angry in front of him for the first time, tears of grievance immediately filled his small eyes, and he stuttered , Apologizing with fear, "...I'm sorry...I know I haven't practiced well enough..."

"...It's not your fault." Ai Yuhua turned his angry eyes to Xiao Wu, "He's only 5 years old, what did you teach him how to whip?! This is nothing but counterproductive!!"

"Your servant knows your mistake!!" Xiao Wu knelt down on the ground in panic, "Please calm down, Master!! I will never dare again after working hard!!"

At this time, little Ai Yi also cried and knelt down beside her mother, sobbing, "Father, please don't blame mother! It's all Yi Er's fault!"

"...Yi'er..." Xiaowu hugged her sensible son in her arms with tears streaming down her face, "...you are not bad...it's all mother's fault...it's mother who wants your father to look at you more It took a few glances to come up with such a bad plan...I didn't expect it to be self-defeating...I made you tired...I'm sorry for you..."

Ai Yi cried in his mother's arms: "But this is also Yi'er's own wish! How can it be that mother is sorry for me?!"

"........." Seeing their mother and son crying in each other's arms, Ai Yuhua suddenly felt an urge to go up to comfort his son gently.

But he didn't know how to be gentle.He also never knew how to be close to a young child.

To be exact, except for Yang Yalong who insists on clinging to him no matter how indifferent he is, he doesn't know how to get close to anyone at all.

At the same time, he didn't know whether he should approach anyone or not.

Isn't it good to keep a proper distance from everyone all the time?

There seems to be nothing wrong, right?Isn't he, Ai Yuhua, destined to be such an aloof and indifferent person with few relatives?

Amid all the clues, Ai Yuhua finally stood silently where he was.

However, suddenly another man came up, patted the child on the shoulder, and said softly: "Be good, don't cry."

"...?!" Ai Yi heard that it was a very strange voice, and turned his head in surprise.

I saw a man with a gentle smile on his face, handing an exquisite clay figurine to his hand, "Little brother, be good~~This is a gift from your uncle~~"

"..." Ai Yi, who was always shy, took a few steps back subconsciously, raised his head and looked at his mother with eyes asking for help.

"...Uh..." Facing this unexpected visitor, Xiao Wu was at a loss for a while, so she had to go to see Ai Yuhua.

"Oh, my little brother doesn't like me?" The man pretended to be sad, stuck out his tongue, and made an exaggerated grimace.

"...Pfft!" After all, Ai Yi was still a child at heart, and finally couldn't help laughing through tears.

"Ye Lingshang?!" Ai Yuhua shouted sharply, "Why did you suddenly appear here?!"

"Hehe~" Ye Lingshang said with a grin, "Master Ai, since you and I have established a cooperative relationship, then I can be regarded as a member of our Phoenix Sect, right? In this case, I should be more casual and don't have to come in and out Find someone to report when you leave, right~"

"...How did you sneak in?!" Of course Ai Yuhua knew that the guards who guarded the Phoenix Sect closely all day long would never listen to such fallacies.

"Oh, it's not important~" Ye Lingshang smiled and hugged little Ai Yi, and handed it to Ai Yuhua, "The important thing is, how can you, a father, not be so close to your son~ "

"Hmph, what does this have to do with you?" Ai Yuhua didn't reach out to pick it up, but said coldly, "Your Excellency came to the door today, have you already figured out how to cooperate?"

"No, no, the top priority now is not cooperation, but..." Ye Lingshang put away his smile and said seriously, "It's about cultivating relationships!"

"..." If Ai Yuhua hadn't gotten used to the cold expression, he really couldn't help but sneer.How could this man say such frivolous words with such seriousness? ! "...Master Ye is really good at joking."

"How is this a joke?" Ye Lingshang smiled meaningfully, "Master Ai, do you think I don't know? You didn't intend to help me become the Lord of Ye Family Castle at all, but planned to be the Lord of Yejiabao under my After successfully getting rid of my eldest brother, send me to a dead end, so that Dad will be upset, and the Ye Family Castle will be leaderless, so the Demon Cult can take advantage of it, right?"

"...!!!" Ai Yuhua was startled.Ye Lingshang smiled slightly when he said what he said just now, but he couldn't laugh anymore in his heart—it turned out that this Ye Lingshang's scheming was deeper than he imagined!This is really a formidable opponent that cannot be underestimated!

"So~" Ye Lingshang continued with a smile, "I just said that the top priority between us is to build mutual trust~"

"..." Ai Yuhua, who was usually sharp-tongued, couldn't find words to refute this sentence.

The author has something to say: I mentioned the breakthrough routine earlier, including this time boldly allowing Xiao Gong and Xiao Shou to have women and children at the beginning... How should I put it, indeed, I have emphasized before that Xiao Gong will not be allowed to Or Xiaoshou becomes a third party, but in terms of the relationship in this article alone, no one can be regarded as destroying the relationship. After reading it, you will know~ In fact, it is almost impossible for men in ancient times to get married and have children in their 20s. Impossible~ Another breakthrough point is that not all the protagonists’ sects use swords anymore, haha, although I personally have a special liking for swordsmanship, but I always feel that the man who uses whips is also very stylish~ This is not a weapon that ordinary men dare to choose... Hehe! !In addition, there is no particularly bitter black history in this small attack and small suffering. Of course, Yuhua is relatively hard, but compared to the main CP in the Xingyue series, at least one of the main CPs has been abused or ravaged for many years or has been abused by himself. It’s much better to be self-deprecating or self-deprecating... Influenced by the first danmei novel "Liu Ying" I read, I used to love this kind of little shou who is deeply in the mud, although until now if you meet This type is still relatively easy to be abused (so I avoid watching it), but it’s boring to overdo anything, right? Now that I’m more mature than before, I also want to take a more realistic route. Many parents like me who have an incomplete family structure or whose parents are too busy with work should have experienced it. It can only be said that every family has a hard-to-read scripture, which is not a tragic experience that seems fake.Although Xiao Gong's family is relatively happy, on the one hand, he will get more care, and on the other hand, he will have more troubles and bear more burdens.Therefore, the environment in which they grew up has its own advantages and disadvantages. In my ancient style, it is considered the happiest... Besides, although Yuhua is used to keeping a distance from others, he is not living in extreme loneliness. He has Su Hun With a loyal subordinate like Qi Ting, and Yang Yalong, whom he regarded as a friend because he didn't know his true intentions, it can't be said to be super bitter, right~ Then, I always think that hateful people must have pitiful qualities, that is, It is said that the darkness is usually caused by some kind of unfortunate experience, but this time Yuhua's ruthlessness is not to vent any anger and hatred towards the world, nor is it to deliberately kill people for pleasure, but to be more indifferent to life.Of course, it does not mean that indifference is justified, and indifference will also pay a price~
