Chapter 1034 - 372
Chapter 1034 - 372
The good times are always short. Although Yue Zexuan was exiled to the outer rings, he has always been the most important young member of the Yue Family.
For the current Yue Family, which is lacking in successors, every Limit Breaker is extremely precious, even if it’s someone like Yue Zexuan, who has committed grave mistakes in the past.
He meticulously tidied Yue Zexuan’s clothing over and over again.
Yue Ying’s face showed deep reluctance, "Will Brother Jiu come back?"
"Of course, the Yue Family can’t do without me now!" Yue Zexuan said confidently.
Cultivation is Yue Zexuan’s confidence, and places like Swan Lake, Chen Jiuge are merely important assets.
Compared to Yue Ying, who is like a caged canary kept in the Yue Family’s backyard, Yue Zexuan is like a falcon soaring the skies.
"Then can Brother Jiu take me out to see the world? It’s been so long since I’ve gone out!" Yue Ying said with hopeful anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Yue Zexuan felt a pang in his heart, and said dryly, "Little sister, just wait a bit, Brother Jiu will take you out to see the world."
"Yes, I believe in Brother Jiu."
Without bidding farewell to Yue Heng, Yue Zexuan walked out of the Yue Family’s gate, feeling somewhat dazed.
"Mr. Jiu, are you leaving?"
The steward Yu Cheng appeared silently behind Yue Zexuan.
"How long has it been since Yue Ying went out to see the world?"
Yu Cheng sighed, "Since that incident back then, Miss has not gone out again."
"Damn He Family, she was just a child!"
"But wasn’t Miss also the main culprit?"
Yue Zexuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
A hundred years ago, Yue Zexuan was the most favored Mr. Jiu in the Yue Family, his extraordinary talent seen by the clan as the hope for the family’s rise.
Given such circumstances, Yue Zexuan naturally became extremely arrogant and disdainful.
On one occasion, while taking Yue Ying around for amusement, they encountered the most famous genius of the He Family of the time. Who knows what went through that genius’s mind, but he started molesting Yue Ying on the street, and even after being stopped by Yue Zexuan, he shamelessly declared, "The Yue Family is full of trash, and it’s a privilege for Yue Ying to catch his eye."
Having never suffered such humiliation, Yue Zexuan couldn’t stand it, and thus exploded the genius of the He Family.
In a literal sense, Yue Zexuan beat him up until he was a bloody mess, beyond any attempt to repair.
At that time, the Yue Family was already weak, far from being a match for the He Family. Under the threat of the He Family, the Yue Family had to make enormous compensations, Yue Zexuan was forced to feign death under a new name, and Yue Ying became a true canary, confined to the Yue Family’s backyard, not allowed to take a single step outside.
"The He Family, one day they’ll pay for this!" Yue Zexuan said viciously.
Yu Cheng mused, "Actually, Miss just wants to see the outside world; after a hundred years, what hatred should have long been forgotten for a child."
Yue Ying was only sixteen a hundred years ago.
"Is that so? I understand now!"
Watching Yue Zexuan turn and rush toward the backyard, a barely noticeable smile appeared on Yu Cheng’s face.
"Miss, this is as far as this old servant can help you!"
That night, the Yue Family Head, Yue Heng, flew into a rage, and the Yue Family Elder continuously berated someone. Fortunately, the Great Elder, highly respected for his virtues, finally settled the matter.
"Is this the reason you let Yue Zexuan return?"
"My sister Yue Heng shouldn’t be a canary trapped in a cage!"
"What about the He Family?"
"The He Family is no longer what it used to be; too much has happened over the past century, and the He Family is no threat anymore."
"At least, they can’t threaten our Yue Family like they did a century ago."
"Sigh, as long as you understand."
......
"An invitation from Yue Zexuan?"
Chen Jiuge looked at the new invitation on the Mechanical Heart, showing a trace of surprise.
"Strange, that Yue Zexuan dares to openly invite me; does this mean the Yue Family isn’t afraid of the Yun Family anymore?"
Chen Jiuge shook his head slightly. It’s only been a year since the last meeting; unless something catastrophic befell the Yun Family, there’s no way the Yue Family could surpass them.
The Mechanical Heart in Chen Jiuge’s hand was left by Yun Yan, and although there’s no evidence, Chen Jiuge suspected that the Yun Family surely had ways to monitor his communications, something Yue Zexuan couldn’t possibly be unaware of.
"Forget it, I’ll go and see when the time comes!"
"Waa, waa, waa"
When Chen Jiuge was lost in thought, Yaoyao seemed to sense it and began to cry loudly. Maybe due to being well-fed these days, Yaoyao’s voice had grown louder, and Chen Jiuge wondered whether she was about to awaken a new talent.
"There, there, don’t cry!"
Since the last time the little house was set on fire, Yaoyao had become increasingly close to Chen Jiuge. Naturally, Chen Jiuge would not assume that this unaware little one understood what he meant to her.
For this, Chen Jiuge had an immature little hypothesis.
"It should be because of the Chaos Pearl; Yaoyao’s body has been implanted with a large amount of Fierce Beast genes. Though she still looks like a human infant, in reality, she’s more like a little Fierce Beast."
Yaoyao’s affection delighted Chen Jiuge, but sometimes such closeness was not a good thing, as in the present moment.
This time, Yue Zexuan invited Chen Jiuge to a family banquet, with no one else except Yue Ying, who was secretly brought out.
"Master Chen, is this your daughter?"
Yue Zexuan was somewhat shocked, looking at Chen Jiuge holding the bottle, feeding.
"It’s a long story!" Chen Jiuge expressed with a hint of melancholy.
Before setting out to attend, Chen Jiuge had arranged everything properly, yet the unexpected still happened.
