Chapter 551: 551
“Are you itching for a beating?” Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows and looked as if she wanted to strangle him .
Tang Nazhi felt like he would faint .
“You’ve got to let me finish talking first!”
“Speak then!”
“This is a rather embarrassing thing, but Li Xiaowei is my half-brother . When my father was young, he had a lover . However, my grandfather did not approve of their relationship, and so, he broke them up by pushing my mother and father together . And then, I was born . My father only told me about this two years ago, and I found out that I had a brother not too long ago . ” Tang Nazhi recounted honestly .
Tang Nazhi’s father felt so guilty about that, and he had wanted to compensate her several times . However, he found out that the woman had passed away, and he learned about Li Xiaowei’s existence soon after that .
Li Xiaowei was the child that the woman had with Tang Nazhi’s father . She only found out about her pregnancy after she was forced to leave her lover, and she decided to have the baby by herself . She did not inform the Black Tortoise family, and she brought the child up by herself until her death from a plague several years ago .
Li Xiaowei had survived, and Tang Nazhi’s father felt guilty about that . He had wanted Li Xiaowei to return to the Black Tortoise family and acknowledge his ancestors, but he was mercilessly rejected .
Tang Nazhi did not expect to meet his brother at the Inter-academy Tournament . When he thought about how his mother had snatched another woman’s lover, and he had taken someone else’s father, he felt so guilty that he could not attack Li Xiaowei . As a result, he had ended up looking like a porcupine .
“This is what I owed him, so I have nothing to say about it . Xiaoxiao, this is my problem, so you don’t have to pay any heed to that . Do what you need to do in this afternoon’s match, but please don’t push your anger on him because of me . He has lived quite a pitiful life . ” Tang Nazhi scratched his head because he was vexed .
He was not a shrewd person, so he had no idea how to deal with it .
He felt as if he owed it to his opponent, but he did not know how to express himself . So, he decided to concede defeat and let himself be the target in the match .
The four other people in the room quietly listened to his story; they did not expect to hear some gossip about the Black Tortoise family .
“I won’t do anything rash; you can rest assured about that . ” Shen Yanxiao understood Tang Nazhi’s conflicted emotions .
Since he was unwilling to continue on the topic, they did not probe further about it .
The topic shifted to Shen Yanxiao .
Her astonishing appearance that day had practically blinded everyone in the stadium .
Even the four friends were shocked when they saw her unfamiliar appearance .
They were so astonished that they did not notice the red flame mark between her brows; it was the brand when one signed a contract with the mythical beast, the Vermilion Bird .
“I was already shocked when we found out that you are a girl . I didn’t expect you’d have so many cards hidden under your sleeves . It’s really unbelievable . ” Yan Yu smiled as he looked at Shen Yanxiao .
Shen Yanxiao touched her nose and embarrassingly explained, “I didn’t mean to hide it, but my appearance is simply a magnet for trouble . I only wanted to learn peacefully in the academy . So, I had to conceal my identity and appearance . As for the Vermilion Bird, it concerns the Vermilion Bird family, and so, I didn’t tell you about it . ” She felt guilty because the four of them had treated her as one of their own .
It was easy to get gold and riches, but bosom friends were hard to come by; it was a principle she understood .
