Brotherhood and secretes

Chapter Twenty-One: Brotherhood and Secretes

"Brother Huai, we received the money from our work today. What should we eat to celebrate?" Tian Jiangxi asked eagerly.

"We won't celebrate, little idiot. We need to save money for your entry into the cultivation academy," Tian Bu Huai replied, holding his younger brother's hand.

"But brother, why don't you go to the cultivation academy first? You're smart, and I'm not sure if I have any talent," Tian Jiangxi said, looking up at his brother with bright eyes.

"I don't have the same talent as you. I learned to speak, read, and write at an early age, but that doesn't mean I have the potential for cultivation. You should go," Tian Bu Huai explained, his gaze filled with love and care for his brother.

"But brother, that doesn't mean I'll be better at cultivation than you," Tian Jiangxi insisted stubbornly.

"That's enough, Phai. You will go to the cultivation academy, and that's final," Tian Bu Huai said firmly, his anger evident.

Feeling his brother's anger, Tian Jiangxi quickly retreated, acting like a frightened mouse. He ran off, saying, "I'm going to play with the neighborhood kids."

"Come back before it gets dark, and be cautious of strangers," Tian Bu Huai called after him.

"Yes!" Tian Jiangxi replied before disappearing down the end of the street.

Tian Jiangxi, the younger brother, headed towards an alley filled with children. As he approached, the children looked at him with fear in their eyes. They stood in a straight line, like spears, and bowed, saying, "Our lord."

"Enough with the formalities. Follow me; I have a mission for you," Tian Jiangxi said, his words sounding sweet and amusing to anyone who saw him, with his small size and round face.

However, the children in front of him didn't find it amusing. To them, this cute child was like a little devil.

The children followed him into a cellar in a deserted alley, where they lit candles. Tian Jiangxi took a seat on the only chair in the room and announced, "I have an assignment for you. You all know the old woman, Linda who owns a farm, right?"

"Yes, sir," one of the children replied.

"Good. I want you to burn down her farm," Tian Jiangxi said casually as if it were as simple as buying candy.

A girl stood up from behind and pleaded, "Sir, please, if we get caught, we'll be in a lot of trouble."

"Then make sure you don't get caught," Tian Jiangxi replied.

The children exchanged uncertain glances, trapped between a rock and a hard place.

Attempting to reason, one of the children spoke up, "Sir, what do we gain from burning down the farm? Didn't you teach us to do things only if we benefit from them?"

"You're right. Before you burn down the farm, steal everything valuable," Tian Jiangxi declared.

The children looked at each other, caught between two difficult choices. Tian Jiangxi then stood up and walked out of the room, saying, "I'm going to sleep. Don't forget to wake me up later."

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Tian Bu Huai and Tian Phai observed the scene unfolding through their eyes, shocked beyond comprehension. Particularly for Tian Bu Huai, this little demon was his brother!

Tian Phai asked, "Are these the memories you were looking for?"

"No, but I have no control over which memories are displayed. We have to watch everything," Tian Bu Huai replied.

Continuing their observation, Tian Bu Huai remarked, "I never expected that the burning and robbing of Old Linda's farm was connected to my brother. Hahaha! I didn't realize that while I was supposed to take care of him, he was actually taking care of me." He sighed, feeling a nostalgic pang.

Tian Phai couldn't comprehend what Tian Bu Huai meant and inquired, "How was he taking care of you?"

"When I told him we wouldn't celebrate, it wasn't because I was saving money. It was because Old Linda unjustly cut my salary. I never expected him to notice," Tian Bu Huai confessed, his tone tinged with self-mockery.

As the memories progressed, another scene unfolded. Tian Jiangxi walked alone on the street, a piece of candy in his mouth. His gaze scanned the surrounding stalls until it was captured by a square-shaped puzzle displayed on one of them.

Fixated on the puzzle, Tian Jiangxi used all his adorable features as a cute child to negotiate with the saleswoman until he acquired the box.

With the puzzle square in his hand, Tian Jiangxi headed straight to a dilapidated house with two rooms and a bathroom. The walls, chairs, and everything in the kitchen displayed clear signs of age.

Tian Jiangxi settled on his bed, clutching the puzzle square tightly.

Contrary to his lazy habits of eating and sleeping, he stayed up for three nights, consumed by solving the puzzle as if possessed.

Tian Phai turned to Tian Bu Huai and asked, "Do you know what this puzzle is?"

Tian Bu Huai remained silent for a moment, then replied, "He never mentioned this puzzle to me." Ignoring Tian Phai's curious gaze, he continued to focus on Tian Jiangxi's actions intently.

At midnight on the fourth night, Tian Jiangxi finally completed the puzzle. However, as soon as he did, his surroundings transformed, leaving him perplexed in a white space. In front of him were three items, accompanied by their descriptions.

Written in the description

* you who solved the thousand-year puzzle, because of your perseverance and your great intelligence, you deserve to be my heir. You should be proud of yourself. The puzzle you solved took a thousand years to make and two thousand years for anyone to solve. I don't care how long you spent solving the puzzle, but your insistence on Wasting a large part of your life just to find the truth and the solution to this puzzle is enough for me in front of you now There are 3 elements. The first is the cultivation technique that I have trained in my life. It is called the Heavenly Demon Secrets. Training in this technique allows your body to condense the nine demon galaxies within you. The basis of this technique is to condense stars in 9 different areas of your body, and with each star that you condense, you get a significant increase in your physical strength, and after condensing the 9 stars, you begin to turn each star into a galaxy, and each time it contains many stars in it, but unfortunately this The technology is incomplete, however, It is still one of the best cultivation techniques in the world. The second element is his love for the birth of Satan, despite its name, but this pill has nothing to do with demons and its use is to improve a person's martial talent to unprecedented limits, and the last element is the Heart Protection Necklace, as it gives a warning to anyone stronger than you beyond the worlds of warning that if If they hurt you, they will die. Of course, this necklace does not have much effect on humans, but its effect on monsters is very good. I have no requests of you, my heir, just take care of yourself and live as your heart tells you to.*

Tian Jiangxi then closed the description and said,

"Wow, I'm lucky, but two thousand years for this puzzle to be solved. can it be this man is an idiot!"

Tian Jiangxi then said with some amazement.

Immediately after that, Tian Jiangxi returned to his worn-out wooden bed with two items in his hand, one of which was the devil awakening pill and the heart protection necklace.
