Eleventh Elder turned around, looked straight at him and asked, “ChengXing, I never did figure out. I left Emperor City and decided to be as far awayfrom this shameless family as possible, why wouldn’t you let us go? What havewe ever done that made you want to hunt down my entire family? Were you allmade out of rocks? You couldn’t even let your only family members live? Are youstill humans?”
The more he talked the more angry Eleventh Elder got. He eyeswere red from anger and he asked, “I, Cheng Yu, had never done anything thathurt the family. Quite the contrary, I have always been dedicated toward the family.All of your, everything you own, we were the ones who had earned them andbrought them into the family. We have fed you all, we raised you all toadulthood. Now that you are grown and are capable, you chased after me withyour knives and swords? And you wouldn’t even spare any of your aunties andcousins. Are you all monsters?”
“I will remember this. Today you went after me; one day, thesame fate will befall upon you. Your family and younger generations will alsogo after you. What happened to me today will surely happen to you tomorrow. Youare all sc.u.mbags, unscrupulous garbage. I wait for the day when the tables areturned…”
Facing the forceful Eleventh Elder, the arrogant Cheng’s finallystarted feeling a sense of remorse and shame. They may have gone a little toofar; after all, Eleventh Elder had doted on them when they were young. Some ofthem had even received guidance from Eleventh Elder; he had truly treated themlike his own.
All these had since been thrown away and forgotten, but now theywere finally coming back. Yes, they had been one family before. All of themfighting side by side for the family, wanting the family to grow bigger andbetter, and dreaming of a better future.
Now that they were all grown up, they could only see their owngains. The only thing they had in mind was the order from the family; how theyearn more reward. They had forgotten how Eleventh Elder had always been theonly elder that taught them patiently and welcomed them with opened arms.
And now, for a measly reward offered by the family, they havehunted down Eleventh Elder and his family, not allowing them a chance tosurvive.
“Eleventh Elder, I… I am sorry…”
“Don’t apologize to me. Now tell me what was the reasoningbehind all this? I want an answer today…”
“Because, because the First Elder want to force you to go toQing’an Province to seek protection from Cheng… Cheng….”
He struggled but was not able to speak the name Cheng Biyuan.The answer was only too obvious to Eleventh Elder. The despair Eleventh Elderlooked up and laughed out loud, “HAHAHAHAHA…”
“HAHAHA Oh I see HAHAHAHA So this was what it was all aboutHAHAHAHAHA….”
His abject laughter echoed in the valley. As he was laughing,tears rolled down the old man’s face. He would never imaged that being thereason the family was trying to cull his family!
Mo Xuanzun, who had been in midair this entire time, listened tothe entire story and his detest toward the Cheng’s had only grown. What a bunchof rapacious sc.u.ms.
“Xiao He, let’s head out. I don’t think they will attack them again!”With one more glance, Mo Xuanzun told the mystical crane to fly away.
But another thought quickly occurred to him. He said to himself again,“Willow Village, isn’t that the place mentioned to me by shi mei Gong?So these Cheng’s would be her family. How very unfortunate for her to havefamily like them!”
