FSC [QT] Chapter 96.4

Arc 5: Swapping Lives (30)

Just from these two things, it could be seen that he was a man with deep thoughts and far-sighted thoughts. In the matter of guessing people’s hearts, he had a more sophisticated eye than his peers.

Most importantly, if Emperor Qian had not treated Xiao Yuzi lightly for the sake of Xiao Yuzi being his godson, twenty strokes of the cane would not have been enough for his misbehavior in front of the Emperor. If it were someone else, he would have been beheaded long ago.

From this point of view, this boy was cruel enough. Xiao Yuzi ruined his future, so he wanted Xiao Yuzi to pay with his life.

This child was so adorable!

“Raise your head.”

Just now, it was just a glimpse, so Yan Zhongying hadn’t seen his appearance clearly.

Yu Yan raised his chin slightly and turned his eyes downward, not looking directly at Yan Zhongying.

“You have a good-looking face.”

This young eunuch looked too clean, so clean that he didn’t look like a castrated, male or female child who should have turned into a monster.

Yan Zhongying liked to torture the beautiful palace maids and eunuchs, especially those girls and children who looked very pretty.

The more he trained them, the more he felt accomplished.

The people below knew his preferences and often offered some young and beautiful slaves for him to play with.

If he had seen this little slave before today, he would definitely make him his favorite, but right now, he appreciated his inner qualities more than his appearance.

Yan Zhongying was old, and many people were eyeing his position.

Over the years, he had taken in many adopted sons and created opportunities for them to climb up.

It was a pity that those people were either not smart enough or not obedient enough. They felt that they had grown wings and wanted to challenge him, their adopted father.

“Godfather, don’t let this traitor deceive you. He must have harmed me.”

Xiao Yuzi saw Yan Zhongying’s subtle attitude toward Yu Yan and immediately became alert.

“Shut up!”

Yan Zhongying closed his eyes and gently covered his ears with his orchid fingers, feeling annoyed by the sharp and piercing sound.

“Just a person who is not good at doing things but always ruins things.”

These so-called adopted sons were just a little bit of a dog around him. No matter how many of them were lost and suffered, he would not feel bad.

Especially now that Xiao Yuzi could be easily calculated by others, it showed that he had no potential worth cultivating.

Yan Zhongying dusted off the hem of his clothes. The people below him heard the string and understood the meaning, and then they dragged Xiao Yuzi, who had come to his senses and kept begging for mercy, away.

When he first entered the palace at the age of five, Yu Yan would be worried about such scenes and couldn’t sleep for several nights. Now he has gotten used to it.

This is the deep palace. It’s either you die or I die.

“What’s your name?”

Yan Zhongying looked at Yu Yan’s delicate and elegant face, and his mood improved a little.

“Xiao Yanzi? Is that what they call you?”

Without waiting for Yu Yan to answer, Yan Zhongying started talking to himself.

These young eunuchs with no status often didn’t have complete names. Most of them used single characters from their names or surnames before entering the palace as nicknames.

“Yan, Yan, you have some fate with me.”

Yan Zhongying smiled and said, “From now on, you will be called Yan Yu. My flaws are not enough to overshadow my merits. I will give you my surname.”

All of them, eunuchs, are incomplete people. The so-called ‘the flaws are not enough to overshadow the merits’ is just an excuse to comfort themselves. The incomplete body could not be made up for by anything else.

“From now on, you will be my adopted son, Yan Zhongying. I don’t care about the things you did before. From now on, you must be good and obedient. Your adopted father will not treat you badly.”

Yan Zhongying bent down and touched Yu Yan’s head, as if he were touching a puppy.

Yu Yan, Yan Yu…

He lowered his head with a meek expression, but his lowered eyes became deeper and deeper.

What a d*mn coincidence, as if fate had already been destined.

Yu Yan never regretted his choice. He just wanted to live and see his sister again from a distance.
