Mu Yaxi waved his hand, and an invisible barrier appeared before him, repelling the fire snake. The army of spirit beasts on the grassland became restless, growling and pawing at the grass with their front paws.
"Bastard? Ask yourself what your last name is before you define who a bastard is." Mu Yaxi looked at him provocatively. Twelve years had left few marks on his face. Besides hatred, his eyes were filled with the wisdom of a mature man.
The man was shocked by Mu Yaxi's sudden increase in ability, and was temporarily at a disadvantage in the verbal confrontation.
"His name is Dai Tianyang. Over the years, Dai Tong has been instilling in him the story of Mu Long abandoning them and their mother for the benefit of the family, which made him obsessed. After Youyou broke the seal, his abilities were awakened. According to our investigation, he has been following us for a long time, and he basically knows everything about us, so he cooperates with Jiayi." Mo Yu stepped forward and told Mu Yaxi the news he had found out.
"What? Investigate me? Didn't you investigate what happened back then? Do you just believe what Mu Long told you?" Dai Tianyang sneered after hearing what Mo Yu said.
"He won't lie to me." Mu Yaxi was firm. She had witnessed the love between Mu Long and Xu Wan since she was a child, and that person would not lie to her.
"A man abandons a mother and child for profit. Would he confess such a black spot to you so easily? Don't be naive." Dai Tianyang didn't know why he was standing here arguing with Mu Yaxi. For twelve years, he chose to wait, but never once did he muster up the courage to stand in front of Mu Long and confront him.
He wanted revenge. He wanted Mu Yaxi to suffer the same pain that the mother and son had endured. Torturing the person Mu Long cared about most was the best punishment for him.
This has always been the reason he used to convince himself, but sometimes he had to face the timidity in his heart. He secretly watched Mu Long running around because of the plague, and sometimes he even fainted from exhaustion, but he didn't dare to take a step forward.
What was he afraid of? He didn't know. But he knew he was jealous, madly jealous of Mu Yaxi. They were both Mu Long's children, and Mu Yaxi received all his love and care. Mu Long even risked his life for her, but what about him?
If Mu Long didn't know about his existence, he would still have a little hope, but Mu Long's reaction after knowing his existence was what really made him despair and hate him to the core.
Even so, he waited for twelve years and followed for twelve years without taking action against Mu Long.
He didn't understand. He saw Mu Long saving people everywhere and holding other people's children in his arms, but why didn't he accept him? He was his own flesh and blood.
"For profit? Hahaha." Mu Yaxi laughed out loud, as if he had heard the funniest joke ever. "Open your eyes and take a look. Does the Mu family's business empire require your father to sacrifice his love to maintain it? Don't lie to yourself. I don't need to tell you this. In fact, you have always known it, you just don't want to admit it."
Every word Mu Yaxi said pierced his heart, and each word was like a blunt hammer, hitting his heart with a resounding sound.
It's not that he didn't doubt his mother's story. The Mu family's business empire and status determined that the Mu family members could live as they pleased and truly live the way they wanted.
But the story that made him overturn his mother filled him with deep guilt, just like betraying Dai Tong. He could betray the whole world, but he could not betray Dai Tong.
Ever since he could remember, he and his mother had lived in poverty. Dai Tong didn't know where the root of her illness came from, but she had always been in poor health. There were several photos of Dai Tong when she was young at home. In the photos, she showed a high-spirited woman in a professional suit. Later, due to her poor health, she couldn't find a good job, and her meager salary could barely keep the two of them fed and clothed.
Dai Tianyang inherited the good genes of the Mu family. He has been good-looking since he was a child, which aroused the jealousy of some "little devils" and he has been bullied since he was a child.
Every time he was bullied, Dai Tong would hug him and say, "When you grow up, go find your father, and no one will dare to bully you anymore."
Every time he would ask, when can I go find my father? Dai Tong's answer is always, soon, soon, after that woman dies...
He never knew who the woman Dai Tong was talking about, and "that woman" became the biggest confusion in his childhood.
When he was young, all kinds of news media gossip were gossiping about the Mu family. Like his classmates, he envied the Mu family's daughter, Mu Yaxi, and fantasized about having a father who doted on him and was rich.
When he grew up, Dai Tong finally solved his childhood doubts. He didn't want to wait for Xu Wan to die, he wanted to end it all with his own hands.
He saved enough money for the trip and finally arrived at the Mu family. He saw the woman who was like a devil in his mother's words. She was very weak and different from what his mother described. He just revealed his identity and the woman was scared.
Seeing the frightened look on the woman's face, he felt satisfied. He got the pleasure of revenge and he liked this feeling. He often went to "scare" the woman until he said he wanted to replace Mu Yaxi, and the woman finally fell ill.
Later, he finally waited until the woman died, but his mother was bedridden. He only prayed to keep his mother's time so that she would no longer think about the Mu family.
Until one day, he suddenly discovered that he was different from others. He had different abilities from others. The sudden extra abilities made him surprised and scared. He didn't know what it was and was in a panic all day long.
He still failed to keep his mother's time, and she left him forever with hatred. He vowed to avenge his mother, he wanted to take away everything from Mu Yaxi, and he wanted Mu Long to kneel in front of his mother's grave and repent.
This is the only meaning of his life.
"If you let go of your obsession, I can convince my father to accept you and let you return to your roots." Mu Yaxi saw that Dai Tianyang didn't say anything and knew that he was beginning to waver.
"Haha." Dai Tianyang sneered, "Convince him? I don't need your pity! Mu Yaxi, see you on the battlefield!"
"It seems he's not that stupid," Luo Youyou said, watching him disappear into the distance. Surrounded by a horde of spirit beasts, he still dared to challenge her. She had initially admired his courage, but after seeing him leave, she didn't know whether to praise him for his understanding of the situation or despise him for his cowardice.
"You can never wake up a sleeping lion." Luo Youyou pinched Mu Yaxi's shoulder to cheer her up and also wanted her to face reality.
"Dai Tianyang investigated what happened back then, but he just didn't want to believe it." Mo Yu looked at Mu Yaxi, whose eyes were slightly red, and said cautiously.
"All grudges will be settled on the battlefield."
