Chapter 122: Killing Qin Biao, Slaying Qin Chong (1/2)
In the past years, there were quite a few people who died in the hands of Qin Yuandao due to this taboo. The older generation who knew about this matter were practically all dead, and there were very few people in the younger generation who knew about this matter. Even those who knew of this matter didn't dare to reveal even an iota of their knowledge. No one wanted to die, after all. If Qin Wu hadn't caused havoc at that time and pushed this matter out into the open, this matter would've gradually been forgotten by the Qin Family.
Right now, not only had Qin Yu pushed it out into the open, he even spoke it out loud, word by word, in front of Qin Yuandao. The legends say that a white scale, the size of a palm, is located beneath the neck of a large dragon. This is the weak point for said dragons, for this scale is the location of the main artery from the dragon's heart. Not only had Qin Yu touched this scale, but he was also about to viciously tear it off in a bloody mess.
Therefore, any and all of the observers were able to imagine the level of fury that existed in Qin Yuandao's heart. However, Qin Yu could not care about Qin Yuandao's fury at this time. His young face carried contempt. He continued speaking, ”Your love affair led to the birth of the bastard, Qin Chong. When the affair had been revealed, your little brother couldn't bear to cause you trouble. The end result was death from anger. Your little brother's wife felt remorse and shame. She knew it was impossible for them to show their faces to the people in the world, or to the Qin Family. Therefore, they committed suicide by hanging themselves. You single-handedly caused the tragedy of those people.”
The atmosphere sunk into a bizarre silence after Qin Yu finished speaking. Qin Yuandao didn't say anything further. He knew he couldn't stop Qin Yu. He knew that he could only let Qin Yu tear off this scar with blood.
A cold wind blew from the distance, screaming as it passed by. It lifted up Qin Yuandao's long hair, which had turned completely white. For a time, he looked even more aged.
”Are you done talking yet?” Some time passed before Qin Yuandao slowly raised his head. His lifeless eyes gazed at Qin Yu, and he let out a weak sigh from his lips.
”I am done. I don't know if you still have something to add.” A sinister sneer could be seen on Qin Yu's face.
”Ha ha ha.” Qin Yuandao raised his head and gazed into the vast sky. He let out a hoarse belly of laughter, but his laughter was that of sorrow. Old tears rolled down his wizened face. ”A single slip may cause everlasting sorrow. I, Qin Yuandao, have only made this one mistake in my entire life. In these years, I always wanted to completely erase this matter and let it forever become a secret. It is because of this matter that I've killed many people without care for the method. It is a pity that in the end, this matter has been laid bare by you, causing my efforts and the blood I spilled in these years to be wasted.”
”Hmph, Qin Yuandao, if you don't want anyone to know about something, don't do it in the first place. When you made such a dirty mistake, did you believe that killing several people would be able to conceal the matter?” Qin Yu coldly snorted.
”Yes, I did. However, I was unable to keep it hidden in the end.” Qin Yuandao lamented. ”However, I never expected that the person who would cause all my efforts to vanish into thin air would actually be a member of the younger generation, one of my grandsons. Qin Yu. You are great. You are worthy of being one of the last two generations of Qin Yuanqiao. Back in the days, he had lost to me in the struggle to become the family head. However, my entire life's work has been outdone by one of his later generations. This is retribution. This is none other than retribution. Hahahaha.”
Qin Yuandao continued with his loud laughter. He laughed until tears streamed down.
”Whatever, in any case, things are now unavoidable. I really don't have anything to say now.” He slowly turned his head after saying these words, and he gazed at Qin Chong who was close by. A hint of gentleness and benevolence, one of a father towards his son, could be seen on his face.
”Chong'er, I've always wanted to make things up to you as your father these years. That is why I protected you in all sorts of places. I allowed you to be rash, and I even wanted to help you claim the seat of the family head. What a pity. In the end, I am unable to fulfill your wishes. As your father, I am deeply ashamed.” Guilt was written across Qin Yuandao's face.
Qin Chong's body trembled. Then, he shook his head repeatedly.
”No. No, you are not my father. You aren't. I am not a bastard. I am not a bastard!” He wasn't willing to accept the identity of a bastard, and, at this time, he wasn't willing to admit that he was Qin Yuandao's son. ”Qin Yu, don't you believe this old fool's rubbish words. How can such ugly looks produce a son that looks like to me? He has no relations with me.”
”It was this old fool who wanted to kill you and your parents. I heard this from his orders and actions. There is also the deception from Qin Biao. Both father and son are the ones causing you trouble.
”All this has nothing to do with me, Qin Yu. This is all their mistake. I beg you to see the light. We are both from the Qin Family, after all. Don't kill me. As long as you spare me, I will do whatever you want. I am okay with doing anything. I can even let you become the family head.”
Qin Chong's display caused everyone to be in an uproar. For a time, Qin Yuandao's entire face turned as pale as paper. His withered body trembled in sorrow.
This was none other than his son. His blood-related son.
”Oh, that's right, Qin Yu. It was me who stopped Qin Biao in time when he was about to kill your parents. I had Fifth Elder rescue them. This insured the lives of your parents.”
Qin Chong even calculated this deed of his with no shame.
”Qin Chong, you are quite shameless.” Qin Zong cursed loudly. He was very clear about the matter that had happened. Qin Chong was clearly about to kill Qin Wu back then. It was Qin Zhan and Qin Zong who had stopped him in time. Now, Qin Chong was shamelessly saying that he himself had saved Qin Wu. How could such a shameless person exist?
”My parents have been rescued.” Qin Yu's body shivered. Then, ecstasy ran through his heart and mind. He had believed that Qin Wu was already dead, which was why he was about to kill people in his craze. It was for revenge.
”Hahaha.”
With Qin Yu at the scene, Qin Biao suddenly let out a howl of laughter that reached the highest of clouds. He was even able to laugh at such a time.
Qin Yu's face turned cold. His ice-cold gaze fell onto Qin Biao's body. He spat a dark and chilling question out of his mouth, ”What are you laughing for?”
