The inner demon pressed his hands on Xu An'an's shoulders. "Xu Yulong wasn't the most outstanding disciple of the Xu family. However, his father placed high hopes on him,一心想要让他成为徐家少主."

"The Xu family has so many excellent children. Xu Yulong, even with all his efforts, could only rank among the top five."

"In fact, Xu Yulong is very talented, but his excellence lost its due brilliance among his peers. If his father could have been satisfied with his excellence, Xu Yulong would also have been a remarkable person and would have achieved accomplishments that most people could not reach in their entire lives."

"Alas! His father hoped too much that he would be number one."

"No matter how hard Xu Yulong worked, how well he did, as long as he wasn't number one, he would be criticized by his father."

"Xu Yulong collapsed under his father's repeated accusations, scoldings, and even tearful complaints."

"He knew very well what he could do and what he could achieve. He knew that he would never be a match for the Xu family's four prodigies, and he also knew that he could not escape the Xu family's vicious cycle."

"Xu Yulong wanted to die to find relief, but he didn't have the courage to end his own life!"

"It wasn't until you appeared that he saw a glimmer of dawn!"

The inner demon's voice suddenly became stern: "Your fate is something that cannot be seen in a hundred, even a thousand years. As long as you want to kill someone, even a person blessed by the heavens will be killed by you. That's what Xu Yulong saw in you."

"To protect you, your parents lied to the family about your fate. However, your fate was too special. Finally, when you were twelve years old, an anomaly erupted, alarming the Xu family."

"At that time, your parents had already been killed by you. No one in the Xu family would speak up for you. They either wanted to execute you or drive you out of the family. It was Xu Yulong who begged the family to keep you, and even guaranteed that he would take care of you. He was willing to use his own blood to draw a curse to seal your fate."

"At that time, Xu Yulong was the only warmth you could feel."

"Is that really the case? You're wrong. He was putting on an act in front of everyone, all to win the favor of the Xu family's patriarch!"

"After Xu Yulong returned from the family meeting, he admitted his intentions in front of his father. You are born with keen senses, so you had heard Xu Yulong's words long ago, but you chose not to believe them."

Xu An'an screamed, "No! Big Brother was deliberately deceiving his father. If he didn't say that, he wouldn't be able to protect me. Only by making his father think I was valuable could Big Brother keep me by his side!"

"Is that so?" The inner demon laughed. "Have you forgotten how Xu Yulong treated you when you first arrived at his home?"

"Ignoring you, only giving you leftovers. He wouldn't even let you approach him within a meter. Only when writing the curse would he show you a smile, because at that time, the Xu family's higher-ups were sure to be present."

"Everyone was praising Xu Yulong's kindness and love, but only you could see the disgust in his eyes."

"I'm not wrong, am I!"

Xu An'an argued, "That's because Big Brother didn't understand me at the time!"

The inner demon said with a smile, "Do you have the confidence to say that?"

"Haha... Later, Xu Yulong did understand you, but what he understood was not your heart, but your fate."

"That was when you were thirteen, right? Xu Yulong suddenly took great care of you and loved you in every way. He made you feel a happiness you had never felt before."

"The reason why Xu Yulong suddenly changed his attitude towards you was because he discovered that you could kill others. The more you hated someone, the faster they would die."

"At that time, he began to treat you well, confide in you, and seemed to be telling you his troubles. But were his words all true? In his words, the Xu family's four prodigies were all hypocritical, cowardly villains. He, the Xu family's fifth, became the target of bullying and humiliation."

"You hated those who bullied Xu Yulong, so they all died tragically. Xu Yulong leaped to become the Xu family's number one. However, you knew very well that the four prodigies were not as Xu Yulong had said. But you still hated them, because Xu Yulong needed you to hate them."

"From then on, Xu Yulong would discuss every task with you. In reality, what could you help him with? You had no martial world experience, no strategic thinking. The only thing you had was to hate his opponents. When his opponents died, he would win without a fight."

"The price Xu Yulong paid to stand out in one competition after another was your hands covered in blood."

Xu An'an cried out, "Big Brother is not that kind of person. You're talking nonsense!"

The inner demon paused and said, "You know very well whether I'm talking nonsense or not. You wouldn't have forgotten why Xu Yulong discovered your secret in the first place, would you?"

"Because you killed his truly beloved younger sister. Xu Yulong loved his younger sister from the bottom of his heart. The feelings between them made you envious and jealous. You thought about replacing his sister a thousand times, ten thousand times, and making yourself the one who was loved."

"If someone else had such thoughts, it wouldn't be a big deal, but you can't. If you think about it, someone will die."

"Xu Yulong knew that you killed his younger sister, and he was still so good to you. Doesn't that feel terrifying if you think about it carefully?"
