Xiao Yuncheng looked at his son with a probing gaze, as if he were seeing him for the first time.
Although Xiao Hechuan was usually aloof, he still respected his father very much.
He looked up and examined Xiao Hechuan's expression, which remained indifferent, but now that indifference was beginning to turn towards him.
Xiao Yuncheng couldn't help but frown, and angrily rebuked, "What are you trying to do?"
In his view, Xiao Hechuan was expressing his dissatisfaction with him, so he made a threatening statement.
His failed summoning attempt has already made the entire Xiao family a laughing stock among the major aristocratic families. Isn't that embarrassing enough already?
If he leaves the Xiao family now, who knows what rumors will spread outside.
"Is it wrong for me to want to leave the Xiao family?"
Xiao Hechuan showed no distress at Xiao Yuncheng's anger, saying, "The Xiao family no longer needs me, and I can do what I want to do."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuncheng laughed in fury, "Leave the Xiao family?"
"All the honors you have are given to you by the Xiao family. Without the Xiao family, you are nothing!"
There is never a shortage of talented people in the world. Xiao Hechuan became famous throughout the Xuanwu Continent because he was the heir of the Xiao family.
Because he is Xiao Yuncheng's son.
Once he sheds that halo, he's just an ordinary person, no different from the common folk outside.
These words were so harsh that they caused a slight pain in Xiao Hechuan's heart.
As expected, Liuyin was right.
In just one day, his father's attitude changed, and the angry man in front of him seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him.
But this only strengthened his resolve to leave the Xiao family.
Now that things have come to this, his situation in the Xiao family is not good. Liuyin will only suffer if she stays with him, so it would be better for her to leave.
He brought Liuyin here, so he should take responsibility for her.
Therefore, Xiao Hechuan planned to send her back to the Void Realm, which was the place she should stay.
"I'm just here to tell you this, not to ask for your permission."
"Even if I leave the Xiao family, I still have my mother."
After saying that, Xiao Hechuan gave Xiao Yuncheng a cold look, his eyes hiding some unreadable emotions.
His gaze was so cold, even containing a hint of disappointment, that Xiao Yuncheng was taken aback.
He suddenly understood; his son was blaming him.
He actually looks a lot like his mother, with a handsome face and bright eyes, and even his personality is very similar to hers.
Watching Xiao Hechuan's departing figure, the man seemed to see the image of his wife leaving years ago.
She did the same back then, leaving him without hesitation.
Memories from years ago surfaced one by one in his mind. As memories intersected with reality, Xiao Yuncheng felt a tightness in his heart. Looking at Xiao Hechuan's back, a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes.
"Since you've chosen to leave the Xiao family, then don't come back if you're so capable."
Xiao Yuncheng called out loudly, and seeing that Xiao Hechuan had gone quite far, he even used his spiritual power to amplify his voice.
The man paused, then walked away as if nothing had happened.
Thanks to the spiritual power, many members of the Xiao family heard the voice, and most of them were astonished.
Is the young master leaving the Xiao residence?
Xiao Yuncheng only looked away when Xiao Hechuan's figure was out of sight. Suddenly, he felt a wave of exhaustion and a lack of energy.
Like his mother, his son never understood him; all he wanted was for the Xiao family to rise to a higher level.
But they all blame him.
Xiao Yuncheng understood his son. He had always had the best of everything since he was a child. How could he endure the hardships outside?
As for his mother, there's even less to worry about. She's been in seclusion for many years and won't be coming out anytime soon.
Once he's suffered enough outside, he'll naturally come back, and at that time, he'll still be the young master of the Xiao family.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yuncheng's expression softened somewhat.
The servant, who had been holding his breath and trying to make himself inconspicuous since Xiao Hechuan uttered those words, finally dared to speak, "Master, what about Xiao An..."
"Isn't there a doctor to see you?" Xiao Yuncheng was already feeling irritable, and his tone wasn't very pleasant.
"A bunch of useless trash!"
Especially Xiao An, he has luck but no fortune. He can't even solve the problem with the companion beast he summoned. What else can he be but a piece of trash!
——
After returning to his courtyard, Xiao Hechuan began to pack his clothes.
Actually, he didn't know where the Guixu Realm was, but since he knew the location, he figured he could find it eventually.
Xiao Bai rushed in, panting, and leaned on the table for support. "Young Master, are you leaving?"
Just as he was hesitating about whether to tell the young master the news, he suddenly heard the head of the family's voice.
As he ran there, people around him were talking about it.
They all said that the young master had been abandoned by the family head, which was why he left the Xiao family.
But everything was fine yesterday. Are companion beasts really that important?
"Yes, I'm leaving the Xiao family."
Xiao Hechuan did not turn his head, and continued to organize his things.
He naturally wouldn't let Liuyin suffer with him, so he brought along some valuables.
The man gently stroked the ring on his hand; it was a gift from his mother.
It was cast by a renowned foundry years ago and has been with him for many years.
Only at this moment did he finally understand what his mother meant when she told him.
He is simply himself.
"But young master, why..."
Xiao Bai stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering what had happened that morning.
Suddenly, I couldn't bring myself to say anything to persuade them to stay.
Besides, he had no right to advise the young master.
"If there's nothing else, you can leave now," Xiao Hechuan said coldly.
"Yes." Xiao Bai nodded in agreement and walked out dejectedly.
In a flash, he suddenly remembered himself. If the young master left, where would he go?
The courtyard suddenly fell silent. In the once bustling courtyard, only Xiao Hechuan's busy figure remained.
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Even though he knew about this, he had never experienced it before, and the man still felt somewhat dejected.
But when he thought of Liuyin, he suddenly felt that everything he had done was worthwhile.
If people find out about her existence, she won't be able to leave.
Even within aristocratic families, there are always some sordid affairs, and Xiao Hechuan was reluctant to let her get involved in them.
If she finds the Realm of Return to Nothingness, she will probably have to leave, and Xiao Hechuan suddenly felt a little reluctant.
The man's eyes narrowed slightly, and almost uncontrollably, a sense of malice suddenly welled up in his heart.
He suddenly remembered what Liuyin had told him before: he would compensate her with a husband.
He agreed at the time, not really thinking that much about it, but the thought of parting with Liuyin made him feel a little reluctant.
He thought he must like her.
I liked it the first time I saw it.
