Xiao Chi (Nalan Ziyun)

Appearance
And what shocked Hexi the most was the person who attacked her just now.

Looking at the size and bones, this should be a young boy.

It was just that this young man was naked. He crouched on the ground like an animal with four limbs on the ground.

His body was covered with mud, leftovers from food, and even smelly excrement.

A few small bugs crawled up and down on his naked body, gnawing at his flesh, but he didn’t notice it.

An iron helmet was put on the boy’s face, completely covering his face. Only two eyes were exposed.

Those eyes were staring straight at her at this moment, exuding a purple light.

That’s right, they were a pair of completely purple eyes which were almost exactly the same as the purple that appeared in her eyes when she was emotional.

However, such a pair of phoenix eyes that were extremely similar to her eyes showed a dull and ignorant expression.

He was like a domesticated beast that was well-behaved, obedient, and wouldn’t resist. However, he was like a walking corpse without self-consciousness.

Background
He Xi’s only impression on Nalan Ziyun, this younger brother, was from when she was merely five years old.

At that time, they were still living in the small courtyard, mutually dependent for life. However, when Nalan Hexi was five, she fell ill with a fever. After she woke up, she never saw her younger brother again.

Wet Nurse Chen had told her, Nalan Manor’s people had taken her younger brother away. The previous Nalan Hexi had gone to Nalan Manor to inquire about this matter. But it was never disclosed to her that her younger brother wasn’t even in Nalan Manor anymore, in fact, he was sent away to study in a sect.

Time flies and in the blink of an eye, ten or so odd years had passed. Nalan Hexi had already given up on seeing her little brother again, however, that doesn’t mean she doesn’t miss him. This was actually one of Nalan Hexi’s last desires before she died– – She wishes to confirm that her younger brother has lived well.

History
He is the biological brother of Nalan He Xi and consequently he is not the son of Nalan Zheng Ze either.

Previously it was said that he was taken by someone and replaced by the current Nalan Ziyun, but the truth is that as a young man he was kept trapped by Nalan Zheng Ze in a secret and fetid cave under his study room and treated like a domestic animal losing all his individuality and being constantly tortured by Nalan Zheng Ze.

Nalan He Xi was fortunate not to suffer the same fate as him due to Nalan Zheng Ze believing that An Lingyue had sealed his medical knowledge on Nalan He Xi's body.

Subsequently Nalan Zheng Ze revealed that the reason he treated this pair of brothers so cruelly was to take revenge on An Lingyue, who was not actually his concubine, who did not accept to be his wife. He then crazy about jealousy, hate and ill will decided to turn his children's lives into a real hell.

Trivia

 * It was revealed by Nalan Yanming that the person that the entire Yan Jing City believes was sent to become the disciple of the master of a great sect, as had been declared by the Nalan Family, is actually a substitute brought by Nalan Zhang Ze to replace the real child who was taken away by someone and disappeared.
 * He Xi discovered that he was not only the biological brother of the previous owner of the body, Nalan He Xi, but also his own biological brother from his previous life, Xiao Chi who had been treated as a guinea pig and had the battered body discarded in the trash when he lost his usefulness.
