Yuanjing died in a zombie siege during the apocalypse. To gain a chance at rebirth and rewrite his life,
Yuanjing agreed when the demon—oh, no, the system—offered him the opportunity.
...Chapter 689
As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, some people followed his meaning and looked at Barney and his wife. Others who were still in the dark also suddenly realized that there was indeed a family with the surname You, Barney. Wasn't Depu's previous wife also surnamed You? So the great magician You was actually Barney's exiled eldest son? !
Barney and his wife hadn't reacted yet. Seeing everyone in the hall looking at them, they touched their faces in confusion and said, "What's wrong with you?"
Someone close to them tugged at his clothes and asked in a low voice, "Isn't your late wife's surname You? Are there any other people in the You family?"
If it were them, they would definitely try their best to get in touch with this great magician. To be able to win the individual championship in the Seven Schools League, can this be an ordinary genius? This is a genius that the entire magic continent should praise.
You? Before Barney could do anything, Mrs. Depu screamed, "You? What does it have to do with us? I only know that my daughter's future son-in-law is a student of the Sage of Law."
Barney blinked in confusion. Could it be that this Great Magician Yu was related to his previous wife? Until then, he had not realized that the Great Magician Yu mentioned by the president and the eldest prince was his eldest son.
The president and the eldest prince looked at each other and their faces turned cold. This damn Depu family and their biological father Barney really ignored the great magician You completely. No wonder the great magician You would rather have the surname You.
The president said, "Is your daughter's future husband the student named Leo from the Deya School of Magic? Unfortunately, I have to tell you that this magician Leo blasphemed the Saint of the Church of Light during the Seven Schools League. No, the Saint was expelled from the Deya School of Magic. The dean also removed him from his disciples, and the Church has sent people to search for the whereabouts of this magician Leo. If you have any information, please report it to the Church immediately and help the Church catch him."
"It seems that Mr. Depu only remembers that he has a daughter, but doesn't remember the name of his eldest son. Fortunately, the great magician Yu has no intention of inheriting the Depu surname, so his honor has nothing to do with the Depu family, but he is the pride of our Miman Kingdom."
The eldest prince then said, "Yes, the royal family will grant Master You the highest noble title and a manor in the royal city. If Master You returns to our Miman Kingdom, he will have a place to rest. Today, I am fortunate to come to Master You's hometown with the president, and I also want to share this good news with everyone."
"Ah - this is impossible!" This was a double blow to Mrs. Depu. Her future son-in-law was wanted by the Church, and the bastard who was supposed to be dead became the individual champion of the Seven Schools League. Was this a case of wrong information and wrong identity?
"Madam Depu, the news has been sent back from the Holy City. The news was personally delivered by the president of the Magicians Guild of the Miman Kingdom. Madam Depu, do you still dare to question it?"
"Great magician Yu? No——" Mrs. Depu screamed, her eyes rolled back and she fainted. She couldn't bear the blow. How could the bastard born by that woman be above her child?
Barney finally remembered that he had a son and said in disbelief, "Is it... Ivan? Is it... my son?"
"It's the great magician You Yuanjing!" the eldest prince corrected.
"But... didn't you have any talent for magic back then?" Barney said in disbelief.
There were a lot of sneers in the hall. Whether one has magical talent or not depends on who has better means. It depends on whether the person in charge wants to test the magical talent. As nobles, they are very clear about these means.
The fat president said, "It was more than two years ago, nearly three years ago, when Magician You left the village where he lived and went to Cambel City. He had his first magician level assessment in Cambel City, and was a junior fire magician at that time. After that, he took the entrance examination for the Deya Magic Academy, and was found to have multi-type magic talents, and his mental talent was top-notch. After entering the Deya Magic Academy, he soared to the sky and achieved impressive results."
After hearing the news, Barney didn't know whether to be happy or sad. That was really his son. He finally dug out the name You Yuanjing from the depths of his memory. But since his birth, especially after his magical talent was not detected, he treated this son as if he did not exist. His only children were the current pair of children. When the eldest son was not valued, did he really have no idea how he would be treated in the Depu family?
No, he knew, but he didn't think his son would amount to anything, and his existence always reminded him of that woman's past, so he turned a blind eye and let his wife and Anne send him away. From then on, he simply forgot about this son completely and didn't think that this son would appear in front of him again.
But he not only has a talent for magic, he also became the individual champion of the Seven Schools League. He is a talented magician that everyone envies, but he was ignored by him, treated harshly by his wife, and sent to a place where there are few living opportunities. Now that he has returned home with honor, how will he treat his father and the Depu Family?
After finally digesting all this information, like Mrs. Depu, Mr. Depu also fell down with a gulp.
No one offered a hand to help him, and he just fell down.
If the great magician You still had some attachment to the Depu family, he would never give up the surname Depu. It was obvious that he wanted to draw a clear line with the Depu family. So at this time everyone wanted to stay away from the Depu family to avoid getting in trouble and causing the great magician You to vent his anger on them.
Only the youngest son of the Depu family was left, looking at his parents lying on the ground with confused eyes. The eldest prince curled his lips, thinking that he really couldn't stand the stimulation. But this was not the end yet. He called his servants and ordered: "Send them back to the Depu family. Oh, and publicize the deeds of the great magician You."
"Yes, my prince."
After the servants took the couple and the child away, the hall became lively again. Even though You Yuanjing was not there, it did not prevent them from turning this party into a celebration for the great magician You who won the individual championship in the Seven Schools League. The great magician You came from them, which was also a kind of honor for them. In the future, they would be able to stand up straighter when facing nobles from other places.
Didn’t you see that the president of the Magicians’ Guild and the eldest prince of the royal family came in person to congratulate you?
Before the celebration was over, the news was quickly spread by the servants of the nobles who attended the celebration, and soon it spread throughout the city. People spontaneously took to the streets and asked each other if this was true.
"It's true. The president of the Magician's Guild has come in person, and the eldest prince has also come to deliver the good news."
"But why haven't I heard of this magician Yu before?"
"Ha, you are so ignorant. As for the Depu family, they married the previous wife just for the You family's wealth. After marrying her in, they ignored her and fooled around with their lover, the current Mrs. Depu. Mrs. You's health deteriorated after she gave birth to a child. She died a few years later. As soon as she died, the man took his mistress and illegitimate daughter back home. I have a relative who used to work for the Depu family. He met the previous wife and said that she was gentle and kind. The young master was also good. But after Mrs. You passed away, the child was bullied. Even the servants in his family dared to mistreat the child. He lived a life worse than a slave."
"I heard that Magician You was sent away when he was only fifteen years old. Do you know where he was sent? It was to the place where the Dark Continent meets. That was tantamount to sending him to die. Mr. Depu was really cruel. That was his own son. Fortunately, Magician You finally got his reward after all the hardships and became a great magician, haha."
When the eldest prince's attendant sent the Depu couple and their children back to the Depu family, he also reported the deeds of Magician You to the servants of the Depu family. Many of them collapsed on the spot. It was very obvious that these people who collapsed had participated in bullying You Yuanjing.
These servants knew what was going on. Such a young great magician, whom the entire Miman royal family worshipped, was being bullied by these servants. They all felt sorry for the great magician Yu, so they sneered and walked away, leaving them to torture themselves.
"Is it Master Ivan? Has Master Ivan really become a great magician?"
"It should be true. Didn't you see that the master and the mistress fainted? They must have been shocked. What should we do?"
The servants who had bullied You Yuanjing the most and wanted to use this opportunity to please the lady now wished they could just faint and not have to worry about anything. Now it was not a matter of whether Master Ivan would let them go, but also the nobles and commoners outside who knew the news would not let them go.
These servants didn't even bother to take care of the master, mistress, and young master, and stumbled back to their rooms. They wanted to pack up their belongings and run away. Staying here would only lead to death, but running away might give them a chance to survive.
Even if the master and his wife could spare them, the Depu family would see that they would not have a good life. They knew better than those outsiders what kind of life Master Ivan had in the Depu family. Those nobles and royal families outside would definitely take advantage of the situation to avenge Master Ivan. So what were they waiting for? If they didn't leave now, would they have to share the hardships with the Depu family?
The young master started crying loudly, but no servant came to comfort him.
When the Depu couple finally woke up, there were only a few kittens and their crying little son left in the house. When Mrs. Depu learned that the servants had run away, she immediately went to check the property in the house. When she found that a lot of property was missing, she screamed again and asked Mr. Depu to call the police to have the servants who stole the property arrested and tried.
Depu came to his senses and could no longer deceive himself. The son he abandoned had reached a height that he could never reach and had become someone he needed to look up to. Seeing Mrs. Depu screaming, he became furious and slapped her with his arm.
"Stupid woman, you are the one who ruined me. You caused the Depu family to lose a great magician, the future Sage of Magic!" The more she spoke, the more her heart ached. She continued to slap him, "You are the one who ruined the entire Depu family."
Mrs. Depu was stunned by the slap. After she came to her senses, she rushed over and started wrestling with Mr. Depu, while their little son was still crying beside her.
