Chapter 11
The moment he opened his eyes, Chu Li felt that his body was as heavy as a lead weight.
Although he already knew that he was weak, he didn't expect that the sword he used with all his strength in the middle stage of the Houtian realm would actually make him like this.
"As expected, without the martial god bone, the time I can use martial arts is very short."
"It would be fine if I encountered an ordinary monster in such a short time, but if I encountered a troublesome guy, I might fall down first."
"We must think of a solution."
Chu Li was thinking about this drowsily, and his vision gradually became clear. At this moment, a figure approached him.
"Chu Li! Are you okay? I am Nangong Shi from the Nangong family. Do you still recognize me?"
Nangong Shi said this with some difficulty. In fact, she had met Chu Li when she was young, but they did not have a deep impression of each other.
She did not expect that after more than ten years of separation, when their engagement was in name only, they would meet again in this way.
After hearing her words, Chu Li nodded slowly and smiled heartily.
"Miss Nangong, I recognize you, long time no see"
"It's been a long time indeed. I didn't recognize you before because you were wearing a bamboo hat. By the way, Mr. Chu, why are you here?"
Although he had some guesses in his mind, Nangong Shi still asked this question. Unexpectedly, Chu Li smiled when he heard the words, shook his head and said:
"Miss Nangong, there is no need to call you Mr. Chu."
"In fact, I have left the Chu family and made a living on my own."
"What! ?"
My eyes widened in surprise. Nangong Shi looked shocked. He could hardly believe his ears.
Leaving the Chu family.
These words sounded easy, but they were as heavy as a ton!
As a powerful family in the Great Xia, the Chu family , how many people tried to break their heads to enter, but Chu Li actually left?
"Chu Li, leaving the Chu family, do you know what this means? The reason?"
Nangong Shi stretched out his hand to help Chu Li up and asked anxiously. Chu Li lowered his eyes after hearing this, and then laughed at himself.
"In fact, it’s nothing. In that family, I’m just an outsider."
"!"
Hearing this, Nangong Shi's body trembled.
As expected! Was I implicated?
Leaving the family is a taboo. If it weren't for the humiliation, who would do such a thing?
But, after all, Chu Li has the blood of the Chu family. Did the Chu family just abandon him?
Looking at Chu Li, who was pale and seemed to fall ill at any time, Nangong Shi couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.
Blood is thicker than water. This is what she was taught since she was a child. It was hard for her to believe that there were such ruthless relatives in the world!
But the next moment, Chu Li's words completely ignited her anger.
"I was born weak and could only live for five years without the Chu family’s martial arts bones. However, the Chu family didn’t want to give it to me. Instead, they gave it to their adopted son Chu Ming."
"What did you say? The Chu family actually did such a stupid thing! ?"
As Chu Li told the cause of the incident, not only Nangong Shi, but also Xiao Tao on the side were shocked this time!
As the saying goes, good things don't go to outsiders.
The Chu family's martial arts bones are the most precious of the Chu family. Treasures are of great benefit to warriors and may even change their fate.
Now they don't give them to their sick biological sons, but instead give them to their adopted sons! ?
This behavior can't be regarded as rejection. It is simply a denial of Chu Li's life. Something happened!
"What did the Chu family think when they made such a decision?"
"Asshole! You and I are engaged, and you are my fiancé, how dare the Chu family treat you like this!"
Looking at Chu Li who was all alone in front of her, Nangong Shi was angry and almost drowned by the guilt in her heart.
Because she vaguely felt that there must be a reason why Chu Li couldn't get the Martial God Bone. She was the only daughter of the Nangong family in this generation, that is to say, if the two got married, either Chu Li would marry into the family, or one of the male children born would be given to the Nangong family.
In this case, if Chu Li had the Martial God Bone, the possibility of the child born having a high martial arts talent would increase significantly, which would undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to the Nangong family! On the contrary, if Chu Li was not given the Martial God Bone, even if one or two of the Chu family's Martial God bloodline flowed out, it was very likely that they would have mediocre qualifications, or even be as weak as Chu Li.
"Taking advantage of the marriage and without the power of external blood, the Chu family made a good plan!"
"It's just that he is willing to sacrifice a relative for this. How cruel!"
"As his fiancée, not only did I fail to help him, but I actually implicated him to this extent!"
Thinking of this, Nangong Shi was heartbroken and felt that he owed Chu Li too much.
After Chu Li left the Chu family, their engagement was undoubtedly invalidated, but after thinking for a moment, Nangong Shi still made a decision.
"Chu Li, since there is no place for you in the Chu family, how about coming to my Nangong family?"
"Miss! ?"
Hearing this, Xiao Tao on the side exclaimed.
Bringing a man back to the house is not a trivial matter, not to mention the ex-fiancé! When this matter spreads to the academy, who knows how the rumor will spread.
On the other side, Chu Li also opened his eyes wide, looking at the beauty in front of him with surprise.
He knows Nangong Shi, this woman, very well. Not only is she stunningly beautiful and talented, but she is also of noble character, loyal in love, and especially gentle to the people she likes.
Her advantages can be said to be countless.
But the problem is that at this point in time, the two of them should not have any feelings for each other, right? Why did she take the risk to take me in?
Looking at the sincere Nangong Shi, Chu Li was touched, but he finally shook his head.
He still wanted to spend the last five years of his life for himself.
"Thank you Miss Nangong for your kindness, but I already have a goal."
"The goal? What is that?"
"I want to spend the last five years of my life slaying demons and doing something for this world. That’s why I’m here today."
"!"
Hearing this, Nangong Shi's eyes widened in surprise. She stared at Chu Li as if she had met him for the first time today.
The same goes for Xiao Tao on the side, his face full of disbelief.
A young man from an aristocratic family who could enjoy everything that ordinary people cannot enjoy, now actually abandons these and spends his last life killing monsters for ordinary people?
This sounded like a story in a storybook, but looking at Chu Li's bright eyes, Nangong Shi had to believe it.
Because she only saw magnanimity and compassion for the common people in Chu Li's eyes.
This kind of look is definitely not something ordinary people can have.
This is my fiancé?
No wonder he has such swordsmanship.
At this moment, Nangong Shi suddenly felt ashamed of himself, and felt that Chu Li's image suddenly became taller.
And his frail look deeply touched the softest part of Nangong Shi's heart.
"Chu Li, no, I remember they called you A Li before, right? Can I call you that?"
"certainly."
Looking at the young man in front of him tenderly, Nangong Shi took out a wooden box and smiled sweetly.
"Then, Ali, can you please accept this?"
