Did he fly away? Don't fool me! Wuyou didn't dare to argue with him, so he could only look at him with a pitiful expression QAQ...
Beiming Zihan: "..." Snatching a drumstick from a little child seemed a bit embarrassing, so I could only continue to deny it...
Alright! Seeing that Wuyou remained silent for a while, I had no choice but to change the subject and called out loudly, "Xiao Li!"
Xiao Li was always waiting respectfully outside, ready to attend to any orders from the young master: "Xiao Li is here. What instructions does the young master have?"
This name, Wuyou, was somewhat surprised and flattered. As a modern person, he didn't have the habit of bossing others around, so if Xiaoli didn't mind, Wuyou could treat her as an older sister.
Wuyou smiled politely and said, "The chicken leg flew away. Could you bring me some more, please?"
"What is 'feile'?" Xiao Li looked puzzled, then immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Xiao Li will go get it right now."
Beiming Zihan pretended not to see Yingyun's response and silently complained in his heart: "Do you think I don't know it was you who ate it? There is no one else in this room. Admitting that you like to eat chicken legs won't kill you!"
In no time, Xiaoli brought another plate of chicken legs and placed it in front of Wuyou. At the same time, she once again bowed to Beiming Zihan and said, "When I went to the kitchen to get the chicken legs earlier, Zhuanghui's maid, Taohong, gave me a packet of medicine and asked me to put it in the chicken legs."
Wuyou, who was busy gnawing on a chicken leg, said, "Did you release it or not?"
Xiao Li naturally wouldn't let it go: "Tao Hong knew that this chicken leg was meant for the young master. She said she would pretend to make the young master fear punishment and commit suicide by taking poison. After that, the truth behind Bei Ming Ziqi's incident would be revealed."
Wuyou: "...so did you actually put the medicine or not?"
Xiao Li shook her head helplessly and said, "Xiao Li would never poison anyone. They must want to use this method to kill the young master, and then the master will be implicated, either dying or being crippled."
Wuyou also realized how dangerous this household was: "Are they stupid? How could a child like me have poison? It's obvious that a human killed me when they see how poisoned I am!"
Bei Mingzihan, however, was not the least bit surprised: "It's normal. It's just their crude means, and yet they can still deceive everyone."
Wu You: "?"
Xiao Li served as the spokesperson, explaining to Wu You: "This villager, Huixi, is the mistress of the house. She only needs to have Taohong buy some inferior poison, the kind used by hunters to deal with wild animals, claiming that it's poison that she brought with her after both her parents died..."
Wuyou understood clearly: "......"
Xiao Li shook her head again and said, "It's not necessarily the case. It's actually not necessary to go through all that trouble. After all, the people who examine the corpse can be bribed. When the time comes, they will say how you died, and the other members of the Beiming family will hear about it. They won't all come to see your body. Even if the clan leader thinks something is strange, they won't investigate deeply."
Wu You: "...With such a large family, shouldn't there be inquiries when someone dies under strange circumstances?"
Wuyou had just finished asking a question, when he seemed to think of something else. This isn't the 21st century here, and things like killing and arson don't seem to be that important... Oh no! This world is even more dangerous than he imagined!
Xiao Li continued to smile: "The one who was injured before is the beloved son of the clan chief. The young master is nothing in the eyes of the clan chief. Even if he knew that you were killed by Bei Mingzi Qi, what's the big deal about killing someone who harmed his own son? There wouldn't be any problem at all."
Wuyou: "...QWQ" shivering in fear!
"Alright." Beiming Zihan instructed Xiaoli, "You may leave now."
Xiao Li obediently bowed and said, "Yes."
Nanming Zi Han looked at the still trembling Wuyou and said, "In this world, it's a survival of the fittest. The vast majority of ordinary people have no idea about cultivation, let alone knowing what it truly entails. They live ordinary lives in the human world. However, the Nanming family is a cultivation clan. Do you have any idea how powerful we are?"
Wuyou: "......" Why are you saying these things, acting like a snake enthusiast? Are you showing off and bragging about your family? Doesn't seem like it, the snake enthusiast doesn't treat this place as their own.
Bei Ming Zi Han looked at him without speaking and didn't pressure him: "In comparison to ordinary people, the cultivator family is much stronger, akin to legendary immortals. However, above the family, there are sects. To the various major cultivation sects, the family is nothing. The family is merely a place where they select disciples."
Muyou silently shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
Bei Ming Zi Han: "My eldest brother, Bei Ming Zi Yang, was taken away by a sect for cultivation. The majority of disciples from major sects are selected from families like ours who practice cultivation. Bei Ming Zi Qi, on the other hand, was abandoned due to his lack of talent. Our family, in reality, exists at the outskirts of the world. In other words, disciples from any sect can easily handle us."
After saying so much, Wuyou finally wanted to interject a sentence: "Why are you telling me all this?"
Beiming Zihan: "......" He thought of a phrase, playing the lute to a cow...
Bei Ming Zihan: "What I want to tell you is that even young children know that in this world, unless you have the ability, those powerful people can make you die however they want. Why don't you understand this? Haven't you already lived in this body for over twenty years?"
Wuyou: "... It's so embarrassing. I feel like my intelligence is being questioned. "Uh... in our world, there are no immortal cultivators, and we value peace. The contrast is too drastic here. Can you treat me like a newly born child and teach me from scratch?"
Wu You has already activated shameless mode and said, "I really am the one who just transformed! I arrived in this world where you are! I am now one year old."
Beiming Zihan: "......" Not arguing with him, if there really is a big difference between our worlds, what's the point of arguing: "What else don't you know yet? I'll slowly enlighten you in the future, but I'll only say it once. If you act foolish even after knowing some things, I don't have the ability to protect you if you end up dead."
Beiming Zihan's expression was extremely indifferent, he had always been like this. Wu You was a bit tangled, but let's continue: "By the way, you said your eldest brother is called Beiming Ziqi? He was chosen by the sect, what about you? Is your aptitude also insufficient like Beiming Ziqi?"
Beiming Zihan looked at Wuyou's innocent eyes, and there was always a desire to destroy: "That day, I was thrown into the cold winter water and lay in bed for three days, missing the talent selection."
Wu You exclaimed through gritted teeth, "....It's those bastards again!"
Actually...it wouldn't be bad if there was someone who knew about your misfortune and sincerely sympathized with you. Bei Ming Zihan could tell that his sincerity was mixed with insincerity, but there was a slight stirring in his heart...but he denied it, saying, "I don't need pity, it's just that I'm too weak. If I missed it, then it's my own fault."
When Beiming Zihan said this, his body grew cold once again, indicating that he still cared greatly about this matter! That incident was a turning point in his life, a choice between going to the prosperous sect with abundant resources or remaining here to continue being bullied.
Wuyou cautiously spoke up, "Forget it, we don't care about sects or anything, let's just leave the past behind." The person uttering these words definitely had no clue about the significance of sects!
Bei Mingzihan: "...The matter when I was seven years old, it's been so long, I no longer care."
Wu You: "......" Are you kidding me, trying to deceive a little kid? Do you not care about how gloomy you're acting?
Bei Mingzihan hadn't finished speaking yet: "But I will definitely seek revenge for being pushed into the water!"
Wuyou: "... Indeed, it really matches the style of a paranoid person, holding grudges forever..."
