After his meridians were severed, Yu Ze became violent. He used all his strength to sweep everything on the table, making a clattering sound as porcelain bowls fell to the ground and porridge spilled everywhere. This time, the sight stung the Second Elder's eyes.
"What are you trying to do?" The Second Elder's tone was two degrees harsher than before.
Yu Ze sneered, "Can't keep up the act anymore? If you can't, then send me away. I don't want to be here, and I don't want to be with you. It disgusts me!"
The second elder squatted down to pick up the broken pieces on the ground. When he heard Yu Ze say these words, he didn't pay attention to the force in his hand. After the porcelain shards shattered, the sharp edges cut his fingers, and blood flowed out.
Yu Ze merely glanced at me, his face remaining expressionless. "That's just how I am. You don't need to do or say anything. I advise you to send me away as soon as possible, so you can have a couple more days of peace and quiet. Otherwise, this mountain peak is destined to be a scene of chaos every day from now on!"
Yu Ze never dared to speak to the Second Elder like this before, but now he seems to have broken the taboo and become fearless, even speaking harshly to his father, whom he has always respected.
The Second Elder performed a simple spell to heal the wound on his hand. He lowered his head, not looking at Yu Ze, and just chuckled softly, saying, "It's alright, it's just a broken bowl. Since you don't like porridge, I'll go get you some other breakfast. You should rest well, don't get angry, and take care of yourself."
Yu Ze only started to panic when he saw the Second Elder finish packing his things and leave, without showing any of the expression he had imagined.
He shouted loudly towards the door, "Come back! Hit me! Scold me! Why won't you do it? Why did you come to take care of me!"
Yu Ze would prefer that the current Second Elder beat and scold him, so that the feeling of guilt in his heart would be reduced.
But the Second Elder did nothing, and Yu Ze felt like he was punching cotton.
The Second Elder left the house without looking back. He stood outside the door, the white-haired old man with tears streaming down his face and his eyes red. He dared not utter a sound, for fear that the people inside the house would notice something was wrong with him.
He resented himself for only realizing something was wrong when things had already come to this point, for only then realizing he needed to properly accompany Yu Ze. If it had been earlier, would Yu Ze have become a pillar of society like Ji Yaocen and Nangong Yu?
But the Second Elder couldn't ask for so much. His own behavior wasn't particularly noble, so demanding that his child be noble was more like a different kind of shackle.
The Second Elder was taken in by Wei Shengliu. After his beloved died in childbirth, he angrily went to find that man and fought with him. The man called many helpers, which made the Second Elder unable to defeat him for a while and he was seriously injured.
Just as the other party was about to kill him, Wei Shengliu descended from the sky and saved him.
The Second Elder did not consider himself a person of high moral character, but he was certainly not the kind of ungrateful villain.
...
Xu Yuehuai was focused on her cultivation on the sect leader's mountain peak when Zisangyi paced back and forth in front of her. Xu Yuehuai found this annoying, so she opened her eyes, her gaze filled with impatience. "What exactly do you want? Just say it directly, stop pacing around in front of me."
Zisangyi shook her head and clicked her tongue, but refused to say what had happened.
"If you have nothing else to do, then go out. I still need to cultivate. Don't wait until my cultivation catches up with yours before you regret it!" Xu Yuehuai attacked Zisangyi's sore spot.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Zi Sangyi, who had been smiling, immediately stopped smiling. "How can you be so vicious, you little brat? As your master, don't you want a powerful master who is someone you can be proud to take out?"
Zisang's personality, which emphasizes the exposure of his external parts, is less like himself and more like Weishengliu when he was a child.
The willow tree is like this: everything seems indifferent, yet it is very stubborn.
Xu Yuehuai closed her eyes again and sat cross-legged. "I want to too, but Master isn't focused on cultivation. What can I, as a disciple, do?"
Zi Sangyi was successfully angered. He sat on the stool next to him and slowly said, "I saw that you used to be all sticking together with those two girls. Now that you're not together anymore, and I heard that one of the girls isn't feeling well lately, I was worried about your condition. So I've been staying here to watch over you, just to prevent you from becoming mentally unstable and going astray. And yet you still have the heart to curse me!"
As she spoke, Zi Sangyi poured herself a cup of tea and drank it. When Xu Yuehuai heard the news about Ji Yuanchi, her eyelids twitched slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. She did not answer Zi Sangyi's question, as if she really did not care about anything.
Seeing her like this, Zisang felt that her relationship with Ji Yuanchi was probably just that of ordinary friends, so she pouted and left.
Xu Tian grimaced after returning to his courtyard. Li Cheng, like him, had failed to advance. The two of them had been quite arrogant when they followed Yu Ze, running rampant outside under Yu Ze's name.
But now that Yu Ze, their powerful backer, has fallen, Xu Tian and the others are like fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Just then, a man entered the courtyard. He was dressed in sect robes and looked both melancholic and violent, exuding an aura that was not to be trifled with. After entering the house, the man looked the woman up and down and then said, "I see that this place of yours is nothing special. What, now that Yu Ze's help is gone, you can't even live a good life anymore?"
The man's words were laced with sarcasm. Xu Tian got out of bed, his eyes filled with humility, and asked, "Brother, what brings you here?"
Compared to Xu Tian's sycophancy and fawning, Li Cheng stood aside without saying much. Looking at Xu Tian's appearance, the man sneered and said, "What, now that Yu Ze has fallen, you want to curry favor with someone else?"
"I don't know how Yu Ze ever fell for you. With that kind of ugly appearance, you really have no backbone at all." The man said disdainfully, his eyes filled with disgust, clearly implying something about Xu Tian.
But Xu Tian remained expressionless, a smile plastered on his face. "Brother, you're joking. I don't know any Yu Ze. Let's not talk about such unlucky things here."
As he spoke, Xu Tian showed a look of disgust on his face. He thought he would get the man's approval, but the next second, the man kicked Xu Tian, and Xu Tian fell to the ground.
