Chapter 145: Old Stories
With the guidance of the Chu family's weapon refiner, Yun Zechuan made rapid progress in weapon refining. In just one year, Yun Zechuan was able to refine magical weapons.
Although the magic weapon he refined still had many flaws and was at most a defective product, such talent still shocked the Chu family.
Yun Zechuan also fell in love with Chu Liyue, a gentle girl, during this year. Unfortunately, Chu Liyue had already arranged a marriage for him. That man was none other than the heir of the Yun family, Yun Zechuan's second brother Yun Changkong.
At the beginning, Yun Zechuan didn't know that Chu Liyue was the youngest daughter of the Chu family. He was a invisible person in the Yun family. In addition, Yun Zechuan's mother was a servant of the Yun family, so he was even more disliked by Yun Teng, who was the head of the family at that time.
It was naturally impossible to take Yun Zechuan to attend the banquets of those big families. In addition, due to the targeting of the mistress of the Yun family, Yun Zechuan had hardly ever gone out, and few people knew that the Yun family actually had a third young master.
In the Yun family, Yun Zechuan was almost the same as those servants. He had endless work to do every day and was never treated as a human being. The most outrageous thing he did in the Yun family was to leave.
It was not until Yun Zechuan followed Chu Liyue back to the Chu family that he learned of Chu Liyue's identity.
The moment he knew it, he felt as if his heart was hit hard by a heavy hammer, full of pain and despair.
Just when Yun Zechuan was about to give up, he inadvertently discovered that his good second brother did not really like Liyue, but was using Liyue to plot against the Chu family.
His first reaction at that time was to go find his father Yun Teng and tell him about Yun Changkong's dirty thoughts, but when he went to his father's study, he heard him discussing the matter with Yun Changkong.
Only then did he realize that it was not Yun Changkong who wanted to plot against the Chu family, but the entire Yun family.
The Yun, Chu, and Jiang families are all large families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. The Yun family has long been dissatisfied with its current status. The Jiang family has a high status in the military, so it is difficult for the Yun family to take action, but it is different for the Chu family.
After so many years of development, the Chu family had no one in the political and military circles and had only made good progress in business. The Yun family then set their sights on the Chu family.
As long as the Chu family is annexed, the Yun family can become the largest family in Yanjing.
Yun Zechuan naturally couldn't just sit there and watch Li Yue marry into a dire pit, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the ancestor of the Yun family.
"What do you want to do?"
Yun Zechuan looked at the ancestor in front of him and felt strange. He used to think that the ancestor was the most fair person in the Yun family, but now he felt disgusted by him.
Yun Zechuan naturally could not leave the Yun family, but was locked in the room.
At the same time, the Chu family's ancestor's body was suddenly found to have problems. He was poisoned by a strange poison that could only be cured by the blood of the Yun family's treasure, the golden snake.
Yun Su raised his eyebrows when he heard this. "This poison should have been given to the Chu family's ancestor by the Yun family in collaboration with someone from the Chu family."
"You guessed right. The first branch of the Chu family is from your mother's lineage. The second branch was kept away by your Chu family's ancestor because of their average talent. They are mainly responsible for business matters. But no one wants to die. Everyone wants to live forever." Yun Zechuan sighed, his eyes full of sadness.
After hearing so much, Yun Su had roughly guessed what would happen next. It was nothing more than that the second branch of the Chu family also wanted to follow the path of martial arts, so they joined forces with the Yun family to poison the ancestor of the Chu family.
Once the ancestor of the Chu family died, the second branch of the Chu family would have the support of the Yun family behind them and would have been able to obtain the position of head of the family with almost no effort. However, they did not expect the accident of Yun Zechuan to happen.
"I guess the Yun family has been waiting for the Chu family to take the initiative to propose using the golden snake's blood to cure the Chu family's ancestor's poison. The Yun family can also use this opportunity to let the young people of the two families get married early so that they can take action at the wedding." Yun Su stroked the ring on his left hand with his right hand, his eyes deep, with disdain and coldness in them.
Yun Zechuan nodded, "But at this time, my mother had already fallen in love with me, so she naturally did not agree to this marriage."
Speaking of this, Yun Zechuan was still a little proud.
Finally, Liyue's father had no choice but to go to the Yun family to discuss holding the wedding as usual, but the groom needed to be replaced.
The Yun family's goal was to seize the Chu family, so they naturally had no objection to simply replacing people, and they agreed immediately.
Thus, Yun Zechuan was kept in prison until the day before his wedding, when he was released. Even so, there were always warriors at the Tianquan realm following him.
The other members of the Yun family agreed to change the groom, but Yun Changkong disagreed. Yun Changkong had seen Li Yue's appearance, so it was naturally impossible for him to give him up.
On the night before the wedding, Yun Zechuan asked Chu Liyue out and drugged her tea. Chu Liyue was caught off guard and fainted. If it weren't for the protection of the warriors around her, Yun Changkong would have succeeded.
The Chu family was furious and directly ordered people to destroy Yun Changkong's martial pulse and went to the Yun family to demand justice.
Yun Changkong is the next heir to the Yun family. The martial arts were abolished and the entire Yun family was in chaos. At this time, the Chu family led people to attack the Yun family again, and the Yun family was even more chaotic.
Yun Zechuan took this opportunity to escape from the Yun family and took away the Yun family's golden snake.
After he told Chu Liyue about the Yun family's plan, when he took the golden snake to save the Chu family's ancestor, the Chu family's ancestor was already dead.
With the death of the ancestor, and the Yun family and the second branch still watching covetously, the Chu family instantly became a fish on the chopping board.
That night, Liyue's parents handed over the Chu family's core skills and family treasures to Liyue, and arranged for someone to secretly send the two of them out of Yanjing.
When they woke up and heard the news, the Chu family was already in chaos. The Yun family supported the second branch of the Chu family to take power and become the new head of the Chu family.
Li Yue's parents and siblings were all stripped of their cultivation and placed under house arrest.
The two were hunted down by the Chu and Yun families all the way. In the end, Yun Zechuan had no choice but to join the army and let the army protect their safety.
At the beginning, the two of them did live a stable life for a few years, but unfortunately the good times did not last long. Three years later, when Yun Zechuan had just grown into a master of weapon refining, he was discovered by people from the Yun family and the Chu family.
In order to force out the core skills of the Chu family, the Chu family directly destroyed Yun Zechuan's martial arts meridians and forced Chu Liyue to hand over the things.
If they had not been discovered by the military in the end, they would have died long ago.
Although he saved his life, Yun Zechuan became a useless man and Chu Liyue was also seriously injured.
"After you recovered from your injuries, we left the army and came to Canglan City. Just six months later, your mother found out she was pregnant with you. When you were born, there was a medical dispute in the hospital, and you and Lu Chen were swapped." Father Yun's tone was filled with deep suspicion.
He did wonder if this was done by someone from the Chu or Yun family, but then he thought it was impossible.
The Chu family has not yet obtained the core skills. If they knew that they were in Canglan, how could they not send people to capture the two of them?
