Book 1 - What Is A Genius
Chapter 50 - Unexpected Discovery.
Translated by: toomuchnoob
After seeing off Cheng s.h.i.+ne, He Yiming asked at once:
“Father, eldest brother is truly going to marry Cheng family’s girl?”
He Quanming turned his head and looked at He Yiming with a smile that didn’t seem one, “Why, are you excited? Should I talk with Cheng family to let you take the place of Yitian. I reckon they will not object.”
Indeed. Although He Yitian was the eldest son’s grandson, currently, the most ill.u.s.trious figure in He family was He Yiming who knocked out Xu Yucai with a single palm.
Currently, the outsiders had an extremely high opinion of this fourteen years old seventh-layer cultivator. Many people had even concluded that within a hundred years, he would certainly be the number one expert of the Tai Cang county.
Therefore if He family issued such a proposition, Cheng family would simply feel as if their dearest wish had come true.
He Yiming’s body s.h.i.+vered before he bitterly smiled and said:
“Father, don’t play jokes on me. My target is nothing but the peak of martial dao. Before that, I will not think of such things.”
He Quanxin faintly nodded and said, “That’s my boy. With your talent, your future prospects are simply boundless. Therefore, not burdening yourself with family is good,” He softly sighed before continuing, “Back in the day, your eldest uncle was also the same, wis.h.i.+ng to pursue the martial dao wholeheartedly. However, his ident.i.ty is different. As the family’s eldest son, he needed to shoulder corresponding responsibilities. Otherwise, he would have attained the peak of the ninth layer long ago, and currently, he would have been a tenth-layer expert alongside father.”
The two brothers exchanged a glance, and silently thought about their eldest uncle for a few moments.
He Quanming waved his big hand and said:
“Originally, I was planning to let you all stay for a few more days. However, since this has happened now, we need to notify father as soon as possible. You two make your arrangements. Tomorrow, we will return first. As for Yilong, let mother-daughter stay together for a few more days.”
Slight disappointment flickered on the faces of the two brothers. Being united after so many difficulties, they had to split again.
If they had slight curiosity towards Cheng s.h.i.+ne’s proposal just a moment ago, at this moment, they were full of resentment. However, neither of the two dared to voice their resentment and could only agree.
The three had just barely entered the inner hall and didn’t even have the time to notify Lin Wenyu when two servants rushed in like the wind.
He Quanming’s brows slightly creased as he rebuked, “What’s the matter? Is this a place you can enter&h.e.l.lip;..” He abruptly stopped. He could see that one of these two seemed exhausted and the clothing on his body was also somewhat different.
Of course, the most important point was that he could tell that this man was the main clan’s steward.
The steward wiped the sweat off his forehead before hurriedly saying,
“Lord Second, this servant has come at the command of Lord Master. Please urgently return back to the clan with third young master and sixth master.”
The expressions of the father and sons changed at the same time. ‘Urgently’ indicated that something major must have occurred in the clan.
The three exchanged glances. Either of the three could discern the chilling eyes of the remaining two. Even He Yiming also emanated a cold feeling.
Cheng family’s tragedy had not been resolved yet. The culprits had not even been identified. And now, an urgent message had arrived from the clan. Even a sluggish person could connect the two dots.
Although He Yiming knew that the culprits belonged to outside the county. However, they immediately acted after being informed that Cheng family was in possession of a thousand-year blood ginseng. No one could say for sure that they had already left. Since they had already made an example out of the Cheng family, offending He family would not amount to much in their eyes.
He Quanming sucked in a deep breath and asked, “What happened in the clan? Did someone attack?”
That steward astoundedly looked at He Quanming and said, “Second lord, everything is fine in the clan. No one from outside provoked us. As for what happened, Lord Master didn’t explain and only commanded to bring you, third young master, and sixth young master back as soon as possible.”
The three then relaxed somewhat. He Quanming waved his hand and said, “All right, we got it. You have some rest, and this matter should not be disclosed, understood?”
The two servants bowed and sounded their agreements simultaneously. They both were trusted servants of the clan. They understood the concept of tree falls and monkeys disperse. Even if Quanming hadn’t warned, they would have remained tight-lipped.
He Yiming and He Yixuan also didn’t dare be neglectful. Although they didn’t know what happened in the clan, since they were asked to come urgently, they also felt quite anxious.
After quickly sorting out their things, they arrived at the entrance. Servants had already prepared horses for them. Mounting on their horses, they left for the clan.
