nThe Chen family’s backyard.

nBy the time Chen Daoxuan and his group arrived, the Chen family’s backyard was already in a state of chaos.

nIn front of them, an eight or nine-year-old boy was being held in the arms of a young woman in her twenties.

nThe young woman’s face was pale, and her lightly powdered face was filled with fear.

nHowever, her hands were tightly wrapped around the little boy’s body, afraid that the vicious woman would harm the child.

nMeanwhile, the little boy in the young woman’s arms was staring at the vicious woman with fire spewing out of his eyes. He wanted to struggle, but his mother firmly held him down.

nThe person who had been cursing was the vicious woman. Her appearance was not bad, but her face revealed a bitter and unkind look.

nOne of her hands was placed on her waist while the other was pointed at the young woman who had collapsed on the ground. All kinds of unpleasant words kept coming out of her mouth.

nSomething about being a slave from the Cloud Nation? Something about being born a b*tch? Something about the child she gave birth to also being a b*tch…

nAnyhow, all kinds of nasty and heart-wrenching words kept coming out of her mouth.

nShe was so excited that she did not even notice that someone had come into the backyard.

n“Why aren’t you talking anymore? Are you mute?”

nLike a victorious general, the evil woman looked around at the surrounding servants.

nHowever, the servants seemed to have seen some inexplicably fearful scene. They all knelt on the ground and called out in unison, “Master, Madam!”

nUpon hearing these words, the vicious woman felt a chill run down her spine. She turned around awkwardly and realized that it was the eldest madam, whom she usually feared the most, and the master, whose face was filled with anger.

n“M-master!”

nThe vicious woman acted as if she was putting on a show. She immediately changed her acrimonious expression into one that made people feel that she was tender and lovable. She said coquettishly, “Master, you have to stand up for me. These two b*itches bullied my Tong’er again when I wasn’t paying attention.”

n“You’re talking nonsense. I didn’t. She was clearly the one who snatched my little wooden figure…”

nThe little boy in the young woman’s arms was unconvinced. He was about to defend himself further, but his mother covered his mouth tightly.

nThe little boy’s eyes were about to spew fire. Unfortunately, his strength was too weak. He could not struggle out of his mother’s grasp at all.

nHe could only stare at the evil woman with a rage-filled gaze and silently complain.

n“Pa!”

nHowever, Chen Liangyu, who was both angry and embarrassed, did not allow her to argue her way out of the situation at all. He immediately gave his second wife a slap.

nThis slap threw the entire backyard of the Chen residence into chaos instantly.

nThe cries of the little girl and the cries of the evil woman could be heard endlessly.

n“Enough!”

nChen Liangyu shouted loudly and glared angrily at the people who were quarreling.

nUnder his intimidating gaze and words, everyone, including the little girl, did not dare to cry anymore.

nThe evil woman was even worse; she was so scared that her face turned pale.

nSeeing that the situation was finally under control, Chen Liangyu bowed to Chen Daoxuan and said, “Young clan leader, this subordinate is really…”

n“Young clan leader?”

nHearing Chen Liangyu’s words, everyone’s expression changed.

nChen Daoxuan raised his hand and stopped Chen Liangyu from apologizing.

nHe took a few steps forward and squatted down in front of the young woman. “Can I take a look at this child?”

nWhen she heard this, the young woman instinctively hugged the child a little tighter. However, when she thought of this person’s identity, she could not help but let go of the child.

nThe little boy wiggled himself out of his mother’s grasp and gasped, “Mother, you’re suffocating me.”

n“Your name is Chen Nianchu, right?”

nHearing this, the little boy turned to look at Chen Daoxuan and said warily, “Who are you? What does my name have to do with you? Are you here to bully us too?”

nAs he said this, he opened his little hand and shielded his mother behind him.

n“I’m here to help you.”

nHe shook his head, “Can you come over and let me take a look?”

nHearing this, the little boy looked at his mother with an inquiring look. After receiving a positive response, he walked over unwillingly.

n“What do you want to do to me?”

nChen Daoxuan smiled slightly and did not say anything.

nHe directly placed his jade-like right hand on the little boy’s head.

nA moment later, as Chen Daoxuan circulated his true Qi in his dantian, a ray of multicolored light covered the little boy’s head.

nThis ray of multicolored light shone exceptionally brightly amidst the night. Even everyone who saw it from a distance felt that it was somewhat dazzling.

n“This…”

nSeeing this ray of multicolored light, Chen Liangyu immediately thought of the records in the clan’s ancient books.

nMulticolored light that reached the skies, it represented the bearing of an immortal!

nChen Liangyu had never thought that his son actually had the bearing of an immortal, and possessed the potential for immortal cultivation.

nHowever, he then thought of something else, and Chen Liangyu’s face turned pale again.

nAs expected, after Chen Daoxuan finished inspecting Chen Nianchu’s spiritual root aptitude, he turned his head to look at Chen Liangyu and the evil woman who was covering her face after being slapped by him, and said, “Do you know your crime?”

nEven though that evil woman had been showing off in front of the little boy’s mother, she did not dare to argue in front of the young clan leader who was even more terrifying than her husband. She immediately knelt on the ground and did not dare to utter a word.

n“Chen Liangyu.”

nSeeing that the evil woman did not speak, Chen Daoxuan turned to Chen Liangyu and called out his name.

n“Your subordinate is here!”

nChen Liangyu immediately knelt down and lowered his head.

n“What is the third rule of the Chen clan?”

nWhen he heard this, before Chen Liangyu could speak, the evil woman beside him was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

nChen Liangyu pursed his lips tightly. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and kicked his second wife. He cursed loudly, “You b*tch, I told you not to bully others for no reason. You’ve shamed the entire household. B*tch…”

nChen Liangyu beat and cursed until the other party hugged her legs and begged for mercy.

nSeeing her like this, Chen Liangyu’s heart softened, but then he hardened his heart and continued to beat her.

n“Enough!”

nChen Daoxuan said, “Chen Liangyu, I will ask you again. What is the third rule of the Chen clan?”

nHearing this, Chen Liangyu collapsed to the ground like a deflated rubber ball.

nHis face was ashen as he replied, “Any member of the Chen clan who humiliates his clansmen for no reason shall be sentenced to two years of hard labor. Any person who humiliates a mortal with a spiritual root for no reason shall be sentenced to…”

n“Sentenced to what?”

n“Death!”

nThe last word seemed to have exhausted all of Chen Liangyu’s strength.

nHe looked at Chen Daoxuan with a face full of despair, hoping that Chen Daoxuan would show mercy.

nHowever, Chen Liangyu knew very well that any qualified clan leader would definitely enforce the clan rules, and he had always thought of Chen Daoxuan as a qualified clan leader.

nAs expected, Chen Daoxuan pointed at the evil woman and looked at the little boy. “Tell me, did she bully you?”

nThe little boy was about to speak, but his mother stopped him.

nThe young woman shook her head desperately at the little boy. She pleaded softly, “Chu’er, don’t.”

nThe little boy gritted his teeth. He looked at his mother, and then at the evil woman who had a look of despair on her face. He took a deep breath and said, “She didn’t bully me. I was just playing with my sister.”

nWhen she heard this, the evil woman felt that her soul had finally returned to her body and she fell to the ground.

nHearing this, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief.

nJust when everyone thought that the matter was over, Chen Daoxuan walked up to the evil woman and said, “Tell me, why did you choose to bully them tonight? Didn’t you know that I was going to be a guest at the Chen residence tonight?”

nHearing this, Chen Liangyu finally reacted.

nThat’s right!

nHe had clearly told his wife that he was going to invite the young clan leader to his house today so that she would be well-prepared.

nHow could such a thing happen?

nUnless…

nHe looked at his wife whom he had known for many years, and an unbelievable thought appeared in his mind.

nCould it be that all of this was planned by his wife behind his back?

nWhy though?

nSuddenly, a terrifying thought emerged in his heart, but he could not believe that it was real.

n“It was you!”

nThe second madam was not stupid. She instantly realized who was behind this.

nShe pointed at the first madam and said, “It’s you, isn’t it? It must be you! You’re afraid that Nian Chu would steal Yun Sheng’s status as the primary descendant, so you wanted to get rid of him! No, get rid of the two of us. You’re so ruthless!”

nHearing this accusation, Madam Chen would naturally not admit it.

nShe said with a pale face, “Don’t slander me. What does it have to do with me if you bully them? Did I ask you to bully them?”

nSeeing this scene unfold, Chen Daoxuan’s face turned cold.

nHe had thought that since the Chen clan had Chen Xianhe, the clan leader who worked hard for the clan, and Chen Beiwang, the pure-hearted clan member who was willing to sacrifice his life for the clan, the Chen clan was definitely a clan without any dirt.

nHowever, now, it seemed that there was darkness hidden everywhere.

nThe key point was…

nRegarding Madam Chen’s actions, even Chen Daoxuan could not accuse her without proof. She had completely taken advantage of Chen Liangyu’s second wife’s jealousy and her harsh character.

nIn the words of his previous life, this was a case of using a borrowed knife to kill someone.

nHe looked at Chen Liangyu, and then looked at Chen Yunsheng and the other wives of the Chen family. He said in an ethereal voice, “Do you still remember the teachings of our Chen clan?”

n“Do you remember?”

nSeeing that everyone was silent, Chen Daoxuan became really angry and shouted loudly.

n“I… I…”

nChen Liangyu knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

nSeeing this, Chen Yunsheng also knelt with his father. In the end, everyone in the Chen residence, including the first wife, second wife, and even Chen Liangyu’s youngest daughter, all knelt there.

nIn the end, Chen Liangyu felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his heart. His face flushed red as the ancient ancestral teachings slowly came out of his mouth:

n“The blood of the Chen clan is the blood of the Chen clan!”

n“The blood of the Chen clan is the blood of the Chen clan! Chen Liangyu, tell me, where does the blood of the Chen clan come from?”

nChen Daoxuan stared at him and stared at the Chen family.

nAll of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

nChen Nianchu looked at the scene unfolding in front of him, and there was a faint flame burning in his eyes.

nHe clenched his small fists tightly and felt a warm current in his chest. It was the boiling blood of the Chen clan!

nChen Daoxuan walked beside him and said in a voice that could only be heard by him, “Do you like this kind of Chen clan?”

nThis sentence seemed to remind the little boy of many unpleasant memories.

nHe shook his head and said, “I don’t like it!”

n“Then, together, let’s change it so that you will like it, okay?”

nChen Daoxuan lowered his head and just happened to meet Chen Nianchu’s small eyes.

nChen Nianchu seemed to see something different in the eyes of this big brother in front of him. It was something that he had been looking forward to for a long time, but had never been able to get his hands on.

nFor some reason, he nodded. “Okay.”

nHe thought about it. “But, I have a request.”

n“What?”

n“Why don’t you become my father?”

nChen Daoxuan: “…”

n
