"Isn't that Li Tianming?"
"This molester is still alive."
"You are ignorant, right? I just heard last night that the city lord divorced his mother and abolished his position as the crown prince. The city lord will get married in a few days and will appoint a new crown prince."
"The mother and son are old, weak and disabled, which is indeed a stain on the city lord. By the way, who is the new crown prince?"
"Nonsense, Li Zifeng! He is no worse than Li Tianming three years ago, and it is even said that he is better than his master."
For some people in Lihuo City, Li Tianming has lost the only identity that makes them afraid, so they talk about him loudly and don't need to hide it.
For three years, Mu Qingqing has destroyed his reputation and everything. Even Lihuo City, where he grew up, treats him as a rat crossing the street. Today, he has long been indifferent to human feelings.
His mother said that time will give the answer to injustice and shame, and a truly strong heart will not be defeated by rumors.
Everything about him has been weakening in the past three years, except that his heart has become stronger than ever before. He can even thank these three years for letting him see many things clearly.
He came to the Star Chamber of Commerce.
Three years ago, he was a distinguished guest that the president of the Star Chamber of Commerce would come out to greet. Now he can't even enter the Star Chamber of Commerce. He can only queue at the outermost window. Under the scorching sun, it took half an hour
before it was his turn. "With these fifty fire jades, I can sprint to the fourth level tonight." After taking the fire jade, Li Tianming hurried back. After all, no matter where he goes now, he is the focus of the whole city.
Those contemptuous, pitying, and playful eyes all come from the ordinary people who once had high hopes for him. The ups and downs of life are so realistic.
Just as he was returning quickly, suddenly, in the sky above this bustling street, there was a sharp and piercing bird cry!
Whoosh!
After the bird cry, a blazing wave of fire swept from behind and hit Li Tianming's back. He was fine, but the stalls around him were blown away, and people and horses fell to the ground for a while.
Bang!
This was the sound of a giant beast landing. Li Tianming looked back and saw a purple bird landing in the middle of the street. The wingspan of this bird reached ten feet, and its huge body could carry many people. The most conspicuous thing about it was its eyes. There were two pupils on each of its eyes, and the two eyes had four pupils in total. This was the legendary double pupil.
As soon as Li Tianming heard the bird's cry, he knew what the visitor was. This was the famous "flame-type flying bird" fifth-level companion beast of Lihuo City, named "purple-eyed double-bright bird". The double-bright bird was a sacred object of Lihuo City. This purple-eyed double-bright bird was a companion beast of the same level as Jinyu. And the owner of this companion beast was Li Tianming's half-brother, Li Zifeng, the son of Li Yanfeng's other co-wife.
"Ah!"
"Mom, it hurts, wow!"
Li Tianming looked back. When the huge purple-eyed Chongming bird landed, it ignored the crowd on the busy street. Its huge and burning body fell and directly blew away a group of children who were playing. Three of them hit the wall and their heads were bleeding. One of the girls had her calves bent, probably because her tibia was broken.
For a while, there were children crying miserably everywhere. They were all too young and had never experienced such pain. Especially the little girl, who was afraid that she would have a broken leg in her life.
However, the misery of the weak was just a trivial episode for the high-ranking figures. Therefore, when the group of people jumped off the purple-eyed Chongming bird, they didn't even look at the crying children with broken legs.
When the parents of the children saw the arrival of the people, they suppressed their anger and could only take the children away. Only the girl with a broken leg had no parents. She could only shrink in the corner and tremble. Her mind was blurred with pain and her whole body was twitching, like a stray dog.
"Brother, I told you that you are a jinx. You have to come here. You have ruined these kids." A purple-robed boy appeared in front of Li Tianming. He was very handsome, with delicate features. He was a rare talent. His dark purple eyes were very beautiful.
He was Li Zifeng. When Li Tianming went to Yanhuang Academy three years ago, he was only thirteen years old, still playing around. He had not seen him often in the past three years. I didn't expect that he had grown up so much. There
were four or five people behind him. Li Tianming knew them all. They were all Li Zifeng's friends. At the beginning, they were all a group of little brats who followed him and wanted him to protect them.
The son of the commander of the city guards, Zhao Qing, the son of the master of Lihuo Academy, Gao Luan, the son of the civil servant of the Ministry of Commerce, Chen Qiong... The parents of these people formed the upper echelons of Lihuo City.
"Isn't it you who did this?" Li Tianming looked calm in the crowd. Only when he looked at the child with a broken leg did a hint of ferocity flash across his brows.
"Brother Tianming, don't shirk your responsibility. If you hadn't been wandering around and let me see you, would I have come down to see you and caused the child to get hurt?" Li Zifeng said with a smile.
Behind him, the teenagers all laughed, their eyes full of teasing.
"Zifeng, you are going to be the prince. You can't do evil and ignore life like this anymore. People with bad intentions can't be the orthodox rulers of the city." Li Tianming shook his head. In fact, he used to take good care of his younger brother. Even when Li Zifeng was beaten by his mother, Madam Mo, because he was naughty when he was a child, Li Tianming pleaded for him.
It's only been three years since he took care of him, and he has changed.
"Brother, you are such a joker. You can even drug and rape someone, and you still have the nerve to say that I have bad intentions." Li Zifeng laughed dumbly, and his friends were all arm in arm, laughing.
After not seeing each other for three years, these little guys have grown wings, and I really can't remember how they followed me around.
Things have changed.
"Anything else?" Li Tianming really didn't want to bother with them at this time. Some accounts can be settled after the final selection of Yanhuang Academy. After all, this brother will be his biggest competitor at that time.
"No, just get out of the way." Li Zifeng was tired of laughing, so he waved his hand.
Li Tianming looked back and found that behind him was the 'Emerald Building', which was the most famous romantic place in Lihuo City, with famous beauties in the city.
He understood that this group of people didn't come down because of him at all, they just wanted to enter the Emerald Building.
Li Tianming made way for them to enter.
"These little beasts really know how to enjoy themselves. I have never been to this Jade Building." Li Tianming curled his lips. At the beginning, he was obsessed with cultivation, and Li Yanfeng and his mother had strict requirements, so he was more self-disciplined.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanfeng now doesn't even care about Li Zifeng's behavior. Why did he demand so much of himself in the past?
The girls in the Jade Building have come out to greet them. One by one, the girls dressed in seductive clothes and graceful figures surrounded Li Zifeng and the others to go in. Li Zifeng looked even more suave among the flowers.
"Wait a minute." Li Zifeng turned around and looked at Li Tianming again, and said condescendingly: "Since you were beaten by your father for protecting me in the past, I will call you brother for the last time and give you another piece of advice."
"If you have anything to say, say it now." Li Tianming said.
Facing such a brother, it is inevitable that his mood is complicated. There is no hatred between life and death, but perhaps, he must teach him a lesson.
"Just listen to me. What I want to advise you is: Get out of Lihuo City as soon as possible. Wherever you go, you are the laughing stock of our family and the laughing stock of the entire Lihuo City. You are now a stinking wild dog, do you know that?"
Li Zifeng said this very seriously.
"So you mean that our whole family is a family of wild dogs? Li Yanfeng is the oldest one?" Li Tianming smiled.
The child who looked at him with admiration at the beginning has grown up and has his own ideas.
"Anyway, disappear, it's good for everyone." Li Zifeng didn't want to say more. He put his arm around a girl, turned around and swaggered into the Jade Building. The laughter of the Yingyingyanyanyan continued for a long time. The wine pool, meat forest, singing and dancing inside were all the enjoyment of the world.
After they left, only Li Tianming stayed here.
There were already many people watching here, and all of them cast their eyes of pity. They did feel that Li Tianming was very pitiful now, but after their pity, they would add a sigh: There must be something hateful about pitiful people!
Haha.
"Li Tianming's character seems to be better than Li Zifeng, but judging from the things that happened in the Yanhuang Academy, a hypocrite like him is more hateful than Li Zifeng." People came to the conclusion.
"He really should get out of Lihuo City. I feel ashamed when I see him."
Li Tianming turned a deaf ear to it. After all, the day of the final selection of the Yanhuang Academy was coming in a blink of an eye. A smart person should choose the right time to talk to the world about what is the real self through performance.
He walked to the girl with a broken leg. The girl's father had already arrived. The dark and thin man was about to run dry of tears, but from beginning to end, he never gave Li Zifeng a hateful look, because he was afraid.
Instead, Li Tianming came. He looked at Li Tianming fiercely and said, "It's all your fault, Li Tianming, get out of here!"
He looked ferocious and wanted to tear Li Tianming apart, but he didn't seem to have the courage.
Li Tianming ignored him. He squatted down and gently touched the child's head. She was bleeding a lot and was close to unconsciousness.
"Girl, you know who hurt you, right?" Li Tianming said gently.
In the pain of blurred consciousness, she nodded. Adults are always blind, but children's eyes are bright.
For Li Tianming, this was enough. He took out ten fire jades, which was definitely a huge fortune for ordinary people. He put the fire jade in the girl's father's hand and said, "Heal her and connect her legs."
The girl's father was stunned. This really made the girl live again, instead of a miserable life, more than money.
"Do you think I will be grateful to you!" He put away the fire jade and said to Li Tianming fiercely, but when he looked up, Li Tianming had disappeared.
"Where is he? Fleeing for fear of crime?" The girl's father said in a timid voice.
The onlookers were also very surprised, because they were stunned for a moment, and Li Tianming disappeared.
Only a very strong beastmaster could do this with his body skills.
"What a ghost!" Everyone said.
Only the girl clenched her fists and shed tears.
