Chapter 4 The Only Way Out



In the silent square, Xue Yang's blatant verbal provocation spread in an instant and was heard by everyone. As for Xue Kong, a member of the clan with whom they had almost no contact, many of the younger generation, influenced by their elders, did not have a good impression of him.

Someone immediately agreed and spoke up, "That's right. Although the Fairy Lady's Dharma Assembly is just for preaching, it's a precious opportunity for those of us who have the aptitude to practice. If you don't have spiritual roots, it's best not to join in the fun, so as not to waste other people's opportunities and even anger the Fairy Lady."

"The fairy lady is originally from Yinliu City. This time she is returning to visit her hometown and preach the gospel. I think we should leave a good impression on her. Perhaps she will come again in the future."

"The Great Clan Conference was originally held for this purpose. Xue Kong, in my opinion, since you don't have spiritual roots, it's better for you to leave early and not make yourself bored."

The square, which had been quiet, immediately became noisy again as a few people spoke. There were mockers and doubters among the voices. Not everyone was hostile to Xue Kong, there were still some people who knew nothing about it.

Some kind-hearted people expressed sympathy.

However, all the words that entered Xue Kong's ears were like a gentle breeze, fleeting in an instant, unable to affect his mentality at all, and his will was not shaken in the slightest.

As his eyes swept over the hundreds of tribesmen in front of him, Xue Kong not only did not feel angry, but instead had a smile on his face. He looked towards the high platform in the distance, where the tribe leader and a group of elders were looking at him from afar.

No elder came out to refute the younger generation's remarks that could cause family discord.

The fat elder did not even scold Xue Yang and the other two who arrived later than Xue Kong.

Xue Kong knew in his heart that this was directed at him. They were making their stance clear to the clan leader, and even the clan leader did not stop them.

In such a big square, I felt like I was the outsider who was not accepted.

Xue Kong felt no resentment at all. He clasped his hands together and bowed to hundreds of his clansmen.

"What my fellow clansmen said is true. I, Xue Kong, have mediocre talent and am a useless person. I can only rely on my family to survive. It is indeed wrong to waste everyone's time and block your opportunity. I will leave now." After saying this, Xue Kong turned around and left without any hesitation.

He left in a free and decisive manner, leaving no one present able to react.

By the time someone reacted, Xue Kong had already walked more than 500 meters, leaving only a tall figure, and then slowly disappeared at the entrance of the square.

"You actually gave up this opportunity at the Fairy Lady Dharma Assembly. You are indeed a waste. People with little ambition and poverty will never achieve anything."

"That person's son is so incompetent. It seems that I overestimated him!" Xue Yang sighed as he watched Xue Kong's departing back. His father was also an elder of the clan, and his status was equal to Xue Kong's father, but his image was far less majestic than Xue Kong's father.

He had envied Xue Kong more than once for having such a great father, but now he saw that Xue Kong had no ambition and no spiritual roots. Compared with him, there was a world of difference.

The jealousy in my heart immediately dissipated a lot.

At the same time, there were bursts of ridicule in the square. People felt contempt for Xue Kong's short-sightedness, but soon they withdrew their gazes one after another, and all agreed that it was not worth wasting time on making fun of Xue Kong.

"Although he has no ability, he knows his own limitations. I will take care of him for the rest of his life. This will be considered as repaying the favor of saving his life twice."

Deacon Hong felt relieved, thinking that Xue Kong was still rational and had not been blinded by the oppression of his tribe. With his help in the second half of his life, he should be able to live a good life as a mortal.

"Why did he suddenly change his personality? This is not the Xue Kong I knew before." Honglian was very puzzled and puzzled.

In the entire Xue family, she is the person who has the most contact with Xue Kong, and no one knows Xue Kong's personality better than her.

In this situation, if it were the Xue Kong of the past, he would definitely remain silent, silently bear the pressure exerted by everyone, and then walk into the crowd to reduce his presence.

Instead of what he did now, admitting that he was a waste in public and leaving the clan meeting openly, this was simply unbelievable and not something Xue Kong could do.

However, even if she was beaten to death, she would never guess that Xue Kong was reborn. His mind had already changed drastically. She just thought that maybe he was hit too hard and his psychology became abnormal.

"That's enough."

As the audience was buzzing with discussion, the Xue family head's powerful voice boomed out from the high platform, suppressing everyone else's voices. He said dissatisfiedly, "People of the same clan should benefit and help each other. You must not do anything that harms your own bloodline. You should turn your sharp side to face the real enemy."

"Yes, we will remember the teachings of the patriarch." The Xue family members shouted in unison.

The head of the Xue family glanced at the direction where Xue Kong left from afar, then retracted his gaze after a moment and officially began the content of the clan meeting. He first informed the clan members of the Three Immortal Sects and the status of the Immortal Lady, then collectively tested everyone's cultivation qualifications and selected clan members with outstanding qualifications.

Xue Kong already had images of these contents in his mind, but he was not interested. After leaving the square, he did not return to his yard, but prepared some things outside and then came to the back mountain of Yinliu City.

It was a wilderness of mountains, with endless winding low hills extending into the distance like a dragon's spine. In the empty valley near Yinliu City in this wilderness of mountains, there were many overgrown graves.

At the foot of a low hill, there are two redwood trees that are more than ten meters tall and have lush branches and leaves. The redwood trees are very conspicuous in this green forest. Their branches hang down, and the shadows of the trees are reflected on the two grave mounds.

Xue Kong appeared in front of the two graves and stood for a long time, looking at the names on the tombstones. After a long while, he knelt on his knees and said in a hoarse voice: "Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you."
