When he was very young, Xiang Xing thought he had the best brother in the world.

Although my brother doesn't talk much and is very indifferent, he still prepares hot water for him in winter and supervises him to practice swordsmanship.

Bixiu Villa was in decline in the early years, but because of my elder brother, those people didn't dare to look down on them.

Xiang Xing thought that the position of owner would definitely be passed on to his elder brother.

Until one day, my uncle secretly took Xiang Xing into the house and asked him if he would like to be the owner of the estate.

"Only a person like my brother can become the owner of the villa. I am willing to accompany my brother."

Uncle got angry and knocked his head hard.

"What do you know, your brother's character is not suitable to be the owner of the villa at all. Now that you have been picked, you should go back and prepare well, understand?"

"No, I can't do this, the owner of the villa belongs to him."

Xiang Xing still refused, but his cat was taken away the next day.

When it was found, Yi Yu had only a glimmer of life left.

He secretly used good medicinal materials, but was discovered by Xiang Fei. In a rage, Xiang Fei punished him to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Xiang Xing, who knelt all night, was very wronged, he didn't know what he did wrong.

"Young Master, you know Xiang Xing's virtues better than anyone else. You can't even practice a set of swordsmanship, so everyone wants to compete with you for the position of Villa Master."

When he rushed outside Xiang Fei's room, he heard such a passage.

The person inside said a lot of bad things about him, but Xiang Xing kept silent. What he wanted to hear was actually just a rebuttal.

Even if it was just one sentence, Xiang Fei never refuted it from the beginning to the end.

"You are actually a good-for-nothing in their eyes. They think you don't know anything, so you have to prove yourself."

After returning, Yi Yu whispered this sentence in his ear.

"My brother wouldn't think so."

"Did he refute it?" Yi Yu smiled sarcastically, "Everyone has their own desires. To be honest, you seem to be useless."

This is also the first time Yi Yu mocked herself, and she didn't mean to be half-joking.

Xiang Xing stared at its dark green pupils, and suddenly understood something.

In fact, in my brother's heart, I am nothing, because I can't even learn a set of sword skills, so I have never been praised by my brother.

"If you want to prove to him that you are not a waste, you must first defeat him so that he can face you."

Xiang Xing kept this sentence in his heart all the time, he who was always incomprehensible in the past, with his daily persistence, actually really improved.

"Today I want to prove to you that I am not a waste at all, so, brother, let's have a competition."

Xiang Fei looked at the long sword in his hand, and finally nodded.

From being contemptuous at the beginning to having to use all his strength later, Xiang Xing also understood that he had indeed made great progress.

In that battle, the two barely drew a tie.

It was because of this battle that I had the idea of being the head of Bixiu Villa.

Only stronger than him can be seen by him.

The results achieved by a person with long-term persistence are beyond his imagination.

Yi Yu seems unreliable, but he is not inferior to his uncle and others in giving advice.

Xiang Xing defeated Xiang Fei in the written test within the family.

This result surprised my uncle, but after the competition ended, he smiled happily, as if he saw hope in Xiang Xing.

"Brother, you lost."

Xiang Xing reached out to help him, but Xiang Fei shook him off.

"Yes, you are very strong, are you satisfied?"

Xiang Xing was stunned in the distance, he thought that Xiang Fei might be unhappy, but he didn't think that it would be like this.

It's like a proud bone has been torn apart alive, and it can't be straightened no matter what.

Xiang Fei lowered his head, and left the venue in despair. He was very different from the energetic young man in the past.

Then, not long after, Xiang Fei married a young lady from another prominent family, and gave birth to Xiang Baiyun within a year of marriage.

Xiang Fei rarely came to the places where they used to practice swords.

Uncle sometimes asks Xiang Xing to pay attention to other girls, saying that only in this way can he surpass Xiang Fei and become the owner of Bixiu Villa.

Xiang Xing raised his head and listened dully. Finally, he nodded and returned to the old house.

"You're about to win, why are you still acting like a ghost?"

Yi Yu was a little arrogant as he ate the dried fish.

"Sometimes I wonder, do I really want to win? Obviously at first I just wanted him to see me and let him know that I am the pride of my parents just like him."

Xiang Xing looked slumped, and Yi Yu realized that he was really down and out, put down the dried fish and walked over.

"You have been living in the shadow of your brother. In fact, you are quite powerful. I used to ridicule you, which may make you feel inferior, but to be honest, I think you are quite powerful."

"The distance between me and my brother seems to be getting farther and farther. I didn't go there on the day he got married. I was afraid that he would be unhappy if I did."

Xiang Xing's eye circles were red, and it was the first time Yi Yu saw him like this, so he had no choice but to use his own method to appease him.

"Okay, okay, you are not young now, it's really annoying to cry."

After saying this, he transformed into his original form, jumped into Xiang Xing's arms, and rubbed his head against his cheek.

The kitten's fur is very soft and itchy when rubbed against it.

Xiang Xing was a little disgusted, but when he thought of Yi Yu, he didn't dislike his former self, so he simply patted his head.

With just such a touch, the kitten's tail drooped down, looking very kind and cute.

"thanks!"

Xiang Xing's voice was very crisp, and Yi Yu was lying in his arms, feeling his warmth quietly.

"Do you mortals like to lie?"

For no reason, he suddenly asked.

"No, I never lie."

The tail of the cat in her arms was raised instantly, "Really?"

"Of course, look at the years we've known each other, have I ever lied?"

Finally getting Xiang Xing to say this, Yi Yu rolled his eyes and asked tentatively:

"Which one do you think is more important, me or your brother?"

Xiang Xing fell silent all of a sudden, as if he didn't know how to answer.

The cat in his arms exploded in an instant, struggling to jump out of his arms, but was held down by him.

"It's all important, my brother is my brother, you are you, you are all very important to me."

Apparently such an answer didn't satisfy Yi Yu, so it meowed, and then drooped its tail again.

"You are lying to me now, I think, when you get married in the future, your wife must be more important than us."

Xiang Xing opened his eyes wide, a little confused.

"How do you mention this in a good way?"

"Your brother has already married his own daughter. You can delay it for a few more years. When the time comes, the bride will not like me and asks you to throw me out. What are you going to do?"
