Chapter 13 Jealousy
As the saying goes, "Eat, sleep, and beat your younger brother."
Having not seen his younger brother for a long time, Shi Zhao also missed him dearly. Unfortunately, the happy times of the past were gone, and now, if he wanted to beat his brother up, it would have a big impact.
Since that incident, the two have never seen each other again. This is partly due to the inevitable estrangement between them, and partly because many people do not want them to meet easily.
If unrest were to break out again, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Since that's the case, it's better for us to avoid each other and each cultivate our own paths.
Shi Zhao rushed over to block the door, actually because he had learned that Shi Yi was going to be sent to the Ancient Divine Mountain for "further study" and that he would not be able to see him again if he came any later.
Regardless, she felt that they should meet at least once.
As Shi Zhao arrived, figures flickered around Shi Yi's faction, and some experts appeared. However, upon seeing the people following her not far behind, they exchanged glances and stopped in tacit agreement.
"No entry ahead, stop here." A voice came from afar.
"Oh? Isn't this the Wu King's residence? Why can't I come here?" Shi Zhao asked in return.
Her long, glossy black hair, each strand sparkling, cascaded naturally down her chest and back. Her eyes were bright, but her face held no smile; it was cold.
Although still quite immature, she is already quite graceful and poised, showing signs of future elegance. Standing there, she exudes a special charm.
With her sudden arrival, the atmosphere in the Prince Wu's mansion became tense again after more than a year. The two groups of people gradually gathered and confronted each other from a distance.
"Sister Zhao, please go back. You're too late. Brother Yi has already gone to the Ancient Divine Mountain." A young boy stepped forward and urged her to leave.
Shi Zhao tilted his head and asked, "Who are you?"
The young man, barely out of school, had a gloomy face. What did this mean? He, as a direct descendant and hailed as one of the geniuses of this generation, was being completely ignored by this little girl.
"Now that you have the Supreme Bone, you don't recognize your own brother anymore? I'm standing right here today and I won't let you pass. You're not ready yet, come back in a few years!"
He shouted, and three volcanic craters slowly emerged in the void, surging with "magma," the essence of heaven and earth, which poured into his body.
To be able to create three caves at the age of thirteen or fourteen is indeed quite remarkable.
It should be noted that it takes an ordinary person a year or several years to open up a single grotto-heaven. After opening up four or five grotto-heavens, one can consider breaking through to the next realm.
"So you're a Three-Heaven Realm expert. I'm truly sorry for my rudeness." Shi Zhao stood still and said calmly, as three Three-Heaven Realm Realms suddenly manifested around him.
The young man could hardly believe his eyes. How could a little girl like her have a cave dwelling?
"Impossible, it's fake, it must be fake!" He was extremely unwilling and indignant, and suddenly used his magic to try to extinguish the illusion in front of him.
Shi Zhao's eyes shone brightly. He extended a finger and pointed out, and golden light emanated from the fingertip. Upon closer inspection, a golden Bixie rushed out, not only directly shattering the opponent's magic technique, but also sending the myna flying hundreds of feet away, where it crashed into the lake.
"What?!" Everyone was shocked, their expressions complex.
The Shi Yi lineage was dumbfounded. This girl was only eight or nine years old, yet she had already opened up three caves. This was unheard of and terrifying.
No one expected that these grottoes were actually opened by Shi Zhao overnight. Everyone assumed that she had already broken through to the next level and subconsciously associated it with the strong support of the royal family.
After all, many people know that she has been in the palace for a long time.
He claims to have been studying bone scriptures at the Temple of Heaven, but could that really earn him the Emperor's investiture and rewards? Nobody believed it. His recent use of the Bixie technique undoubtedly confirms this.
"She's just a lucky one who got the Supreme Bone transplant by chance. Yi'er has double pupils and is a true born god. She will definitely surpass her in the future!" someone said in the background.
Shi Zhao didn't care what they thought. Seeing that no one was blocking his way, he walked into the backyard with practiced ease, calling out from afar, "My dear brother, why are you hiding from your sister?"
"I'm not hiding, it's just that someone doesn't want me to see you," Shi Yi said calmly.
Although he was still very young, he was very composed. His double pupils shone with a divine light, and there was a faint sense of majesty about him, which was quite different from his age.
Wherever the double pupils of the eye fall, they see the intertwined principles and laws of heaven and earth, making everything appear too real. This naturally gives those with double pupils a detached and indifferent nature.
"I have a feeling that you're afraid to see me," Shi Zhao said softly, then swiftly stepped forward and pinched his cheeks with both hands.
"Tsk, why is there no meat? It doesn't feel good to eat." She was a little disappointed.
Shi Yi: "..."
"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Tell me about what happened back then. I want to know if you were involved." Shi Zhao released his hand, his bright eyes fixed on Shi Yi.
Shi Yi twitched the corner of his mouth, remaining silent, his eyes deep and bright.
At this moment, the two locked eyes, their gazes meeting, and a dazzling light burst forth from their eyes, an astonishing sight.
Between the opening and closing of his double pupils, strands of runes flickered, giving one the feeling of facing an ancient abyss, as if it were about to devour one's soul;
His other pair of bright eyes shone like a thousand stars, with the rising and falling of the sun and moon, the ephemeral nature of the Milky Way, and even the pervasive chaos.
"Clang!" Their gazes met, and it was like the sound of a sword.
However, that was all; the two did not engage in a real contest.
Shi Yi's pupils shrank in surprise. He hadn't expected that his dear older sister had also cultivated some kind of pupil technique, or even the legendary Heavenly Eye.
Otherwise, how could one contend with double pupils simply by looking at someone?
But then he remembered who this person was, and he felt relieved, saying calmly, "Didn't you see everything?"
"What you see is not necessarily the truth. Just like your double pupils, even if you have four eyes, what good are they? You can see the great principles of heaven and earth, but you still can't see through people's hearts." Shi Zhao shook his head.
Shi Yi smiled coldly and said, "And you? Do you think you can see through people's hearts? Or do you think that just because you were close to me when we were kids, you can boss me around now?"
He actually understands everything.
But to his surprise, Shi Zhao actually nodded and admitted it.
"Yes, it was intentional at first, but later I treated you like a younger brother, and there was no pretense in that." Shi Zhao looked at him sincerely.
Shi Yi couldn't stand that look, so he turned his head away, forcing himself to remain calm, and said, "What's the point of discussing what happened back then? We can't go back."
"Speak, I'm listening!"
"..."
Shi Yi's lips twitched slightly. He simply stiffened his neck, turned around, and stared intently at her. He growled, "To be honest, I'm really jealous of that guy. You've been fawning over him since he was born, and now you're demanding justice from me for him. What right do you have?!"
"What did I do wrong again? If I said I didn't do anything, would you believe me?"
Shi Zhao suddenly stretched out his left hand. Shi Yi subconsciously closed his eyes, gave up struggling, and let the slap come. But after waiting for a long time, he did not feel the pain he expected.
He couldn't help but open his eyes and saw a hand brush away the hair that was covering his eyes, revealing a smooth forehead, and then gently stroking his head.
"I'm sorry, I neglected your feelings. I'm sorry, I didn't fully trust you before." Shi Zhao reached out his other hand, pulled him into his arms, and sighed softly.
"Let me go!"
"No, no, I won't."
"You're poking me."
"...Little brother, I'm glad you're willing to speak your mind, but I don't like what you said at the end. I suggest you don't say it next time."
