Chapter 1898 - Sent flying with a kick (1/2)

Sima You Yue looked over to where the voice came from and saw an old man with a head full of white hair. He looked rather similar to Di Zhe, but his expression was furious, as if Di Zhe had committed a grave mistake.

Even before she managed to ask Di Zhe who this person was, he moved in front of Di Zhe in a flash and sent a punch flying towards him.

Di Zhe did not retaliate and obediently accepted this punch. His lips tore and fresh blood leaked from it.

“You actually killed Meng Ru Ji. Do you know how important the Meng Clan was to us? Huh? Do you know, by killing Meng Ru Ji, how negatively you have impacted our Di Clan? Ah!”

As the elder said this, he was sending a second punch flying towards Di Zhe. However, this time, Di Zhe did not obediently accept it as before. His body flashed and he dodged.

However, this action seemed to infuriate this elder even more as he adjusted his body and attacked Di Zhe again. However, Di Zhe avoided it again.

“Who is this person? He even dares to beat up Cousin.” Sima You Yue asked Di Liu.

“That is Master’s grandfather, the Third Elder of the Di Clan. The Patriarch of the Di Clan is the Great Lord, Third Elder’s blood brother.” Di Liu explained.

Sima You Yue looked at Di Zhe who was running all over the courtyard dodging and was surprised, “Didn’t they say that Cousin wasn’t afraid of anyone? Wasn’t his relationship with his clan extremely bad? Why does he tolerate his grandfather like that?”

“Right now, the only one who can say anything to Di Zhe in the whole of Di Clan is Third Elder.” Di Liu said emotionally.

“Eh? Why is that?”

“You’ve also heard of how Master’s life was back in the Di Clan in the past. Because his talent was poor, he was bullied often and almost died a few times. It was only after the Dark Princess found out about his situation that it changed.” Di Liu said.

Sima You Yue nodded. She knew about that as well. Di Liu’s talent wasn’t great in the past, and in this world where the strong were revered, his life was naturally hard. Later on, it was Mother who helped to change his physique and allowed his talent to soar. That was why he was the closest to mother, and because of that, he always thought of how to rescue her.

“DId his parents not care about him?”

“Master’s parents never saw him. As for Master’s mother, she was gone long ago. Otherwise, Master would not have suffered so.” Di Liu said with heartache.

After all, she was still a princess. If she was around, they would have to show the royal clan some face. However, since she was not around, Di Zhe’s life was like a living nightmare.

“It is precisely because of what happened before that Master has a bad relationship with the Di Clan and never cares about them. If not because of the Princess’s orders, he might even have exterminated the Di Clan. However, Princess said that Master’s reputation has already reached this stage, so if he exterminates even his own clan, Ghost King would never allow the royal clan to produce a person like that. At that time, it would cause a lot of trouble for him. It’s only because of that that the Di Clan is able to be here today.” Di Liu continued to say, “The Di Clan knows as well that they used to treat Master badly, so they rarely appear in front of him. They’re afraid that he might accidentally kill them.”

“Did this Third Elder treat him well?”

“He didn’t treat him very well, but he did speak up for him a few times when Young Master almost died. It’s just that it was rare for that to happen in the clan. However, at that time, the Third Elder didn’t possess much authority, so it wasn’t of much help to him.” Di Liu said.

“A person like Cousin looks very fierce, but he actually prioritises comradeship. That is why, towards the grandfather who used to speak up for him, he still possesses some affection. It’s a pity that someone doesn’t treasure it.” Sima You Yue looked at Third Elder Di. Every attack was so heavy handed, how did he care about Di Zhe at all?

“Third Elder wasn’t like this in the past either. However, in recent years, he feels that as Master’s Grandfather and also that he had treated Master decently in the past, adding on to that, the fact that Master treats him rather respectfully, he thinks he’s all that.
