Chapter 3, Humiliation

"It's nothing, the young master said, money is not an issue." Xiaoyu is his only person, his sole maid. After having a meal, he still wants to buy her some nice clothes and jewelry, and he also needs to purchase some medicinal herbs for himself

Sister Xiaoyu

Yang Lei looked at him coldly, remaining silent. He understood that Wang Kui was undoubtedly a genius of the younger generation, and he was currently only at the second level of Qi training, making him no match for him

Snap

Forget it, I will go back to the Yang family with you and inform Xiaoyue about your situation; otherwise, Yang Tian will definitely bully you

"Little Lei, brother." Upon seeing Yang Lei, the woman’s eyes lit up, and she walked over in surprise, "It really is you; I thought I was mistaken."

Esteemed guests, please come in

In Yang Lei's memory, this woman was the best woman to him aside from his second sister, Yang Yue. Her name was Dongfang Xiaoyu, and she was Yang Yue's close friend. The man seemed to be her senior, named Wang Kui, who had already reached the level of a martial master at a young age

As one of the seven major sects on the mainland, the Xuanji Sect, although ranked last, should not be underestimated. Its strength and resources are immensely powerful, with more than ten Martial Saints and three Martial Gods.

"It's really nothing, Sister Xiaoyu, you don't need to worry." For this Eastern Xiaoyu, who cares so much about him, Yang Lei felt very grateful. He thought to himself that he would repay her once he became stronger.

"What are you saying? I do not allow you to speak about Xiao Lei like that," Dongfang Xiaoyu expressed her dissatisfaction

Very well, esteemed guests, please wait a moment, I will be right there

"But young master, I heard that it is very expensive there, and we have no money." Xiaoyu naturally also wanted to eat well, but the key issue was that there was simply no money. Originally, as the third young master of the Yang family, Yang Lei received thirty taels of silver each month, but it was embezzled by the chief steward of the accounts, Yang Qing, who is also the father of Yang Xiong, leaving him with only one tael. The embezzlement was extremely severe. Yang Lei knew this but felt helpless.

Little Lei's younger brother, but...

"Young Master, let us return," Xiao Yu said timidly, gazing at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.

The maid, Xiaoyu, was wiping the bloodstains from Yang Lei's mouth.

At this moment, the dishes had already been served, and Yang Lei no longer paid attention to him. Instead, he said to Dongfang Xiaoyu, "Sister Xiaoyu, would you like to eat together?"

At that moment, a man and a woman approached. They were dressed elegantly; the man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful

"It's nothing, you need not worry about this; we have money, we are not short of it." Today, we have indeed earned one thousand taels of silver, enough to indulge for a while. After saying this, he did not give Xiaoyu a chance to respond and left the courtyard.

"Yang Tian, he is also your brother, how can you treat him this way?" Dongfang Xiaoyu knew that Yang Lei had poor innate talent and could not cultivate true energy, but she was dissatisfied. How could they be from the same father and yet treat their own brother like this

"Yang Tian, this is not your place; I can come and go as I please." Yang Lei suppressed the anger within him and spoke in a very calm tone

Yang Tian, in a fit of rage, slapped Yang Lei across the face. After all, the disparity in strength was too great, and Yang Lei was unable to evade the blow.

Defeating Yang Tian is essential; he is merely a seventh-level martial artist. With my comprehensive cultivation system, six months of upgrades should be sufficient. However, it is certainly not feasible within the Wang residence. Yanshan is the best choice, as it is home to various magical beasts. Deep within Yanshan, there are even ninth-tier sacred beasts.

Is there a seat available upstairs? Yang Lei would prefer to be upstairs rather than in the lobby below, as it is much more comfortable there

"Whether I can afford it is not your concern. You should leave quickly and not disturb my appetite for food," Yang Lei said.

Waste is simply waste

What would the two esteemed guests like to order? After they sat down, the waiter asked again

Ding, do you accept the task to defeat Yang Tian within six months and regain your dignity

"Let's go, Xiaoyu. We won't be eating at home today; we are going out to Zui Xian Lou for a feast." Yang Lei took Xiaoyu's hand.

Little Rain, this is a matter concerning the Yang family

Seeing Yang Lei like this, Dongfang Xiaoyu thought he was putting on an act, after all, no one would feel good about encountering such a situation. So she comforted him, saying: "Little Lei, if you don't want to stay in the Yang family, come with me to the Xuanji Sect. I will ask my master for a solution"

Yang Tian. This person is in his twenties, the elder brother of Yang Lei, and the eldest son of Wei Wu Wang. He possesses exceptional talent, slightly inferior to Wang Kui, yet has reached the seventh level of martial arts.

Hmph, is it the Majestic Wangfu? It's fine not to associate with bookworms; I, Yang Lei, am not so dependent on the Wangfu that I cannot live without it

"What is it? Speak up, why are you being so polite with me? I am your sister." Upon hearing that Yang Lei needed her help, Dongfang Xiaoyu's face lit up with joy. It seemed he had finally come to his senses and wanted to return to the Xuanji Sect with her. Staying in the Wang residence would surely lead to him being bullied.

"Ah, the air outside is so fresh and free." As the imperial capital of the Qianyuan Kingdom, this place is bustling with people every day, lively and extraordinary

"Sister Xiaoyu, you don't need to worry, I'm fine." Yang Lei has his own plans, and besides, he currently has no cultivation at all, so entering the Xuanji Sect would bring him no benefits. Furthermore, whether he can even enter is still an unknown.

"You... you... you are doing very well." Yang Tianqi said anxiously, pointing at Yang Lei, "Alright, since you do not wish to stay in the Weiwu Wangfu, I will grant your wish. Let's see how you survive after leaving the Weiwu Wangfu."

Yang Lei shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I will go to the Xuanyimen, but now is not the right time"

"What is Xiaoyu saying to this useless person?" At this moment, Wang Kui said somewhat discontentedly

"Why is he like this?" Dongfang Xiaoyu said angrily, "Xiao Lei, are you alright?"

Accept.

After accepting the task, the blood at the corner of Yang Lei's mouth was wiped clean. He looked at Dongfang Xiaoyu and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, I am fine"

You... you really infuriate me. Dongfang Xiaoyu, seeing that Yang Lei was not listening to her, stomped her foot in anger

"Yang Lei, how dare you come here and bring shame to the Yang family?" At that moment, another person walked up from downstairs.

"Good wine and good dishes, just bring them here." Yang Lei said directly to the waiter without looking at the menu

"Can you afford the money? These dishes will cost at least over 100 taels. Don't end up getting beaten to death for dining and dashing," Yang Tian said coldly

Sister Xiaoyu, I have a favor to ask of you

Some do, some do," the waiter busily replied

"You worthless fool, do you dare to talk back? Instead of focusing on your training, you wander around aimlessly. You have brought shame to our Yang family and to the dignity of our mighty Wangfu. If it weren't for Xiaoyue intervening, you would have been expelled from the Yang family long ago. How dare you speak to me like this?" Upon hearing Yang Lei's retort, Yang Tian was filled with immense anger.

"Hmph, Brother Wang, we shall take our leave now," said, and with that, he and Wang Kui strode away.
