"Brother, if only we could leave the Divine Origin Sect." Shi Shuangzhi looked at the distant sky, her eyes filled with longing.
“They won’t allow us to leave.” Shi Liuchuan’s face was expressionless. “Even if they look down on us, despise us, and call us trash, we are still the son and daughter of the young sect master of the Divine Origin Sect. If we go out, in their eyes, it means we will lose face for them.”
"Can't we even give up our status as disciples of the Divine Origin Sect? Brother, I want to go to Mother. I want to ask her in person if she has abandoned us."
“Unless we die, we have no way to leave here.” Shi Liuchuan had already seen through it all. Ordinary disciples of the Divine Origin Sect could freely enter and leave the sect under the pretext of going on missions, but he and his sister could not. The official reason was that his and his sister’s cultivation levels were too low, and they were afraid that something might happen if they went out. But he vaguely felt that these people wanted to keep him and his sister under control within the sect.
Why? Why would they do that?
Shi Liuchuan only regrets that his talent is too low. No matter how hard he tries, he can't even reach the Foundation Establishment stage. On the other hand, Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of ten, breaking the record for the youngest Foundation Establishment in the cultivation world in a thousand years. Now they are already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and may break through to the Golden Core stage at any time.
They were all their father's children, but they were worlds apart from her and her sister. No wonder everyone said that her and her sister had brought shame to their father and grandfather.
Were I and Shuangzhi held back by our mother's talent? But if our mother's talent wasn't high, how did she manage to steal the Divine Origin Sect's most precious treasure and leave without a trace?
Because of this, he has always been skeptical of the many theories surrounding his mother's departure.
"Look, those two good-for-nothings are slacking off here again."
"I feel ashamed for them. It's a shame that such talented and lazy people are the older brother and sister of Junior Brother Tianning and Junior Sister Tiankui."
Shi Liuchuan clenched his fists, but he knew that resisting was useless, because he was no match for these people, and might even implicate his sister.
Shi Shuangzhi pursed her lips. She was also annoyed by her poor strength, but what could she do?
"Hey, you trash, say something! You know shame but you still don't work hard. You are not worthy of being disciples of the Divine Origin Sect."
"Exactly! With your talent, you wouldn't even qualify to be outer disciples of the Divine Origin Sect, yet you're enjoying the treatment of inner disciples. Why?"
"Why? Of course, it's because of their status as the children of the young sect leader! It's a pity that the young sect leader was blinded back then and married that vixen. Fortunately, he later came to his senses. The young sect leader and Fairy Su Mu were a match made in heaven."
"It's a pity that you two good-for-nothings have taken the positions of the young sect leader's eldest son and eldest daughter. If I were as useless as you, I would have left in shame long ago. How dare you still have the nerve to stay in the sect?"
"If they don't stay in the sect, where else can they go? To find their thief mother?"
Shi Liuchuan suddenly stood up, staring intently at them.
The three men were immediately horrified and took a step back. Then they felt they had lost face. They had almost been intimidated by the aura of a good-for-nothing. If word got out, they would be a laughing stock. So they became even more furious.
"What are you glaring at, you piece of trash?" One of them attacked Shi Liuchuan. Shi Liuchuan fought back, but the difference in their levels made it difficult to deal with. He was immediately sent flying like a broken doll, spitting blood and covered in dust.
"Brother!" Shi Shuangzhi was terrified and rushed over to help the person up, then glared at the three of them with resentment.
"Although Junior Sister Shuangzhi did not inherit the young sect leader's talent, her beauty is unique in this sect." The three gradually approached, and one of them revealed a greedy look in his eyes as he looked at Shi Shuangzhi's face.
"What kind of look is that?" The leader sneered. "Clearly, Junior Sister Tiankui is even more beautiful. In the cultivation world, beauty alone doesn't equate to strength. She's not even as good as a cultivation furnace."
"Shut up!" Shi Liuchuan struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with malice. "No matter what, my sister is Shi Changqing's daughter. How dare you mock her with such filthy words?"
The three men froze, then sneered, "What did we say? Who do you think would believe you siblings? Shi Liuchuan, obediently hand over your inner disciple allowance."
Shi Liuchuan spat and said, "So that's what you were after. How ridiculous. Nothing."
"No?" The man pinched his chin, then used magic to bind the struggling Shi Shuangzhi to a nearby tree. "Even though you're a piece of trash, you're still the young sect leader's son. How could you not have it? Will you give it to me or not?"
Shi Liuchuan gritted his teeth: "I said no, so there's no."
He was telling the truth. Everyone in the sect probably thought that even if he and his sister weren't talented, their master, Changqing, would still give them subsidies because they were his biological children. However, in reality, they rarely saw this so-called father even once a year, let alone received any subsidies. They often didn't even receive the allowance that inner disciples were entitled to.
Each time they went there, the person in charge would either lie and say that he and his sister had already received theirs, or make excuses that the sect's expenses were tight this month and that they would receive theirs later. However, as time went on, the things they received became a mess.
No one in the sect stood up for them. Even when they caused a scene, everyone just thought that he and his sister were being unreasonable and bullying ordinary managers because of their status. However, the truth was that he and his sister had never received any protection from Shi Changqing. On the contrary, they were often troubled by these scumbags.
He had experienced countless ridiculous things since he was a child, but there were always people who didn't believe him. Perhaps they all knew the truth, but they were just looking for an excuse to cause trouble, as if bullying him and his sister would earn them credit in front of Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui.
"You still dare to lie to us? Do you think we're afraid of your status?"
Shi Liuchuan gave another mocking laugh. Status? What kind of people are they? Everyone in this sect can bully them. He's one thing, but why won't these people even spare his own sister?
As he was punched, Shi Liuchuan looked at his sister's worried and devastated eyes, which were filled with fear after she was silenced by the spell, and managed to force a smile.
"If you're going to fight, then fight. Why waste so much time on nonsense?"
"Then so be it."
"Stop." A calm voice drifted over, and the three men who were hitting the attacker froze, then looked at the newcomer with fawning expressions.
After being released, Shi Liuchuan lay on the ground like a dead dog, while Shi Tianning looked down at him and said, "You're so useless that you can't even protect your own sister."
Shi Liuchuan just looked up at him. Shi Tianning spoke so casually. Didn't he want to protect him? But some things are not things he can do just because he wants to. Why is Shi Tianning so arrogant?
