Chapter Seven, Cast Out of the Home, Departing in Anger
Shangguan Yu did not wish to engage with Shangguan Jiancheng; he only wanted to leave this home as soon as possible. After all, he had already been expelled from the family, so it was better to leave sooner.
Shangguan Yu kept his gaze fixed on Shangguan Jinghong, observing that she showed no signs of worry; instead, she appeared quite joyful. He knew that Shangguan Qingcheng must be fine, which put his mind at ease.
Shangguan Jinghong also found it strange; Ma Wen usually appeared to be a very composed person. What could have caused him to be so flustered? In the residence, Ma Wen had always been very capable; otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with the role of steward.
Ah... I understand. Say whatever you want, if you want to kill, then kill!
Shangguan Yu knelt down before Shangguan Jinghong, making three loud bows with a "bang, bang, bang." After all, Shangguan Jinghong had raised him for so many years, and these three bows represented the end of their father-son relationship. Even though he now understood what kind of person Shangguan Jinghong was, it could not erase the fact that Shangguan Jinghong had nurtured him for so many years.
Shangguan Yu finally raised his head; the person before him was none other than the legendary figure of the Feiyu Dynasty—King Zhi Jue!
He was lost in his thoughts and accidentally bumped into someone
However, Shangguan Jiancheng should be related to Shangguan Jinghong, so what about Shangguan Qingcheng? Could it be the same as him? Shangguan Yu did not know, but his thoughts were actually correct; Shangguan Qingcheng was originally adopted.
However, Shangguan Yu immediately noticed something was amiss. Clearly, he had entrusted Shangguan Qingcheng to Ma Wen. So why was it that now, Ma Wen had returned, but Shangguan Qingcheng was nowhere to be found
At this moment, it was Shangguan Jiancheng who was taken aback; he could not comprehend the meaning of Shangguan Yu's words. What did it mean to say that it had nothing to do with the Shangguan family? Even if he no longer held Shangguan Yu in high regard, he could not simply claim that there was no connection. Unfortunately, he could not fathom that Shangguan Yu had already been expelled from the family by Shangguan Jinghong.
Shangguan Jinghong looked at the lost in thought Shangguan Yu and coldly snorted, "Why are you still here, you useless person? Do I need to invite you to leave?"
Shangguan Jinghong looked at Shangguan Yu and felt little emotion. However, just thinking of that towering figure made him hesitate to act. Who knows what extraordinary abilities such legendary figures possess
Only Ma Wen stared in astonishment at all of this, still unable to understand how Shangguan Jinghong had managed to drive away Shangguan Yu. However, he was merely a steward, and this curiosity could only be buried in his heart; he had no right to inquire about it
However, Shangguan Jiancheng did not intend to let him go, and directly approached Shangguan Yu, blocking his path. He held his head high with an air of arrogance, as if he were inherently more noble than Shangguan Yu
How is it that you see the second brother and leave without greeting? Do you understand the rules?
Shangguan Yu did not actually want to die; he had yet to meet his parents and had not experienced the bittersweet journey of martial arts. For some reason, he was deeply fascinated by martial arts, as if he were inherently a martial arts fanatic. He longed to become stronger, for he no longer wished to find himself in a situation where others wielded power over him like a knife while he was merely the fish on the chopping block. But would heaven grant him the opportunity? He longed to become stronger, for he no longer wished to find himself in a situation where others wielded power over him like a knife while he was merely the fish on the chopping block. But would heaven grant him the opportunity?
Shangguan Jinghong immediately took the letter, thinking it was an enemy seeking revenge. After years of fighting outside and being domineering within, he had no idea how many people he had offended. If the cost demanded by the other party was too great, he decided he would abandon this daughter. The daughter, who was merely picked up, would only be used as a tool in the future.
Shangguan Yu watched as Shangguan Jiancheng receded into the distance, feeling considerably relieved. He had initially thought there would be a confrontation here. Although he was not afraid of Shangguan Jiancheng, if the latter brought his guards, he would only end up being at a disadvantage. After all, no one wishes to be humiliated, unless they are truly obsessed with martial arts or have a perverse disposition.
Shangguan Jinghong cast a disdainful glance at him, "My daughter, Shangguan Qingcheng, has joined the Qiyi Pavilion, a supreme sect on par with the Zhenwu Sect. How could a useless person like you possibly compare?"
You may not know, but I have no ties with the Shangguan family whatsoever. You say he is my second brother; isn't that just trying to get close to me?
"Second Young Master, the Master is calling for you!" At that moment, a servant hurried over.
He turned back to glance at the Shangguan residence, feeling a mix of joy, sorrow, anger, happiness, and pain... All of this would no longer be related to him; he was no longer the young master of the Shangguan family.
Oh? Is this not the young master of the Shangguan family? Where are you heading off to at this late hour? Shangguan Jiancheng, of course, was still unaware that Shangguan Yu had been expelled from the family, as currently only Shangguan Jinghong, Ma Wen, and Shangguan Yu were aware of this situation
He, Shangguan Yu, is definitely not a waste. Just because he cannot cultivate vital energy? He does not believe that his tenfold effort compared to others will be in vain. He does not believe that he is destined for an ordinary life. No one is born destined to be ordinary; as long as he is willing to strive, he will surely not be inferior to others in the future
I apologize, I wasn't paying attention! Shangguan Yu still did not look up, merely uttering a habitual apology in the manner of www.hetushu.com. He was still lost in his own thoughts, completely unaware of the person in front of him
Shangguan Yu understood in an instant; he was indeed a clever person. Previously, Shangguan Jinghong had thought that he could cultivate martial arts. However, when Shangguan Jinghong learned that he could not cultivate martial arts, her attitude underwent a dramatic change.
Uncle, has something happened to Qingcheng? Please tell me quickly!
Shangguan Jinghong did not stop him; he did not want to see Shangguan Yu for even a moment. This useless person became increasingly displeasing to him, causing him more and more annoyance. If this useless person left sooner, he would be free from the sight and the irritation.
However, he does not intend to change his surname to Shangguan, not only because he does not know what his original surname was, but also because he needs the surname Shangguan as a source of inspiration. By always being called Shangguan Yu, he will forever remember these matters, motivating him to become stronger and to forge ahead with courage
He looked up at the imperial palace, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. When the power of the Shangguan family grows significantly in the future, they will surely oust the Li family from power. At present, the emperor of the Feiyu Dynasty, Li Zhi, has merely just entered the Imperial Extreme realm.
Shangguan Yu firmly grasped Ma Wen's arm, for no one was more concerned about Shangguan Qingcheng than he was. Just a moment ago, he was thinking about Shangguan Qingcheng, and now she was in trouble? Hopefully, she was not in any danger and was merely being looked after by other servants assigned by Ma Wen.
As Shangguan Yu just reached the doorway, he saw Shangguan Jiancheng not far ahead. He knew that leaving this time with ease might not be so simple.
He could hardly believe that the once loving and caring father had turned out to be such a petty and self-serving individual. At that moment, he felt that Shangguan Jinghong was so unfamiliar and distant, their relationship seemed to be so far apart.
Master, something terrible has happened!
"Xiao Yu, what is the matter? If there is anything, just tell your uncle!" A gentle voice came, making Shangguan Yu feel as if he were bathed in a spring breeze
"That's enough. Considering the father-son bond we've shared for so many years, I will let you go this time. From now on, you should leave the Shangguan family!" He truly is a cunning old fox; clearly afraid of that imposing figure, yet he insists on framing it as concern for our father-son relationship.
Shangguan Yu stood up and looked indifferently at the home he had lived in for ten years. The only person he cared about in the Shangguan family was Shangguan Qingcheng, his beloved younger sister. He could imagine how heartbroken she would be after his departure. Thinking of her lonely and lost expression filled him with sorrow. However, given the circumstances, he could only leave the Shangguan family.
"Listen, listen!" Shangguan Jiancheng pointed at the servants around him, then gestured towards Shangguan Yu, "How dare he speak to me like that? Do I need to ingratiate myself with him? Who does he think he is?"
After reading this letter, Shangguan Jinghong felt that heaven was so favorably inclined towards him. He had thought that an enemy had come to his door, but unexpectedly, Shangguan Qingcheng had such a fortunate encounter. Especially since Qiyi Pavilion is not inferior to Zhenwu Sect, how impressive will the Shangguan family be in the future
Today, I encountered this woman and found her to possess exceptional qualities. I shall take her back to the Qiyi Pavilion for careful cultivation. When she has achieved success in her training, she will naturally have the opportunity to return. Do not worry! The Qiyi Pavilion is not inferior to the Zhenwu Sect, both being supreme sects. I do not wish to owe anyone a favor, so I am leaving behind three royal-grade pills and one imperial-grade pill.
Ma Wen rushed in in a flurry, a pity that this chubby figure could run so fast. The entire training ground shook, and Ma Wen also wore an anxious expression.
Shangguan Jiancheng never dared to go against his father's wishes. Upon hearing that Shangguan Jinghong was looking for him, he immediately ran over.
Oh, I will go right away. Shangguan Yu, don't run away; wait for me to deal with you later. Hmph!
Marwen glanced at Shangguan Yu, then shifted his gaze to Shangguan Jinghong. "Sir, the young lady has been taken away by a woman, and this is a letter she left behind!"
He paid no attention to Shangguan Jinghong, turned around, and resolutely walked away. He no longer had any attachments to this home, and leaving this cold and unwelcoming house, he felt no reluctance whatsoever
Shangguan Yu emerged from the Shangguan family, and by this time, the sky had already darkened. Fortunately, the bright moon hung high in the sky tonight, illuminating the path ahead for Shangguan Yu
Shangguan Jinghong picked up a small porcelain bottle from the envelope and uncorked it. A fragrant aroma wafted out, refreshing both Shangguan Yu and Ma Wen. He quickly recapped the bottle, recalling the four round elixirs inside, and couldn't help but feel excited. If these four elixirs were used wisely, he would reach the Imperial Extreme realm in a very short time
Step aside, do not obstruct me. You have nothing to do with me, so do not try to get close! He truly had nothing to say to Shangguan Jiancheng. He pondered, both being children of the Shangguan family, how could the difference in character between Shangguan Jiancheng and Shangguan Qingcheng be so vast?
Shangguan Yu did not pay attention to Shangguan Jinghong's tone; he only needed to know that Shangguan Qingcheng was safe. "Qiyi Pavilion, I, Shangguan Yu, will come. Little Qingcheng, you must be very lonely there, right? Just wait, Third Brother will come to see you, and I hope you will be well!" Shangguan Yu gazed at the distant horizon, silently thinking to himself.
