163 Two Worlds (2/2)
The eldest young master of the eldest branch of the family and the third missy were extremely gifted. They had already broken through the spiritual disciple realm when they were 15 to 16 years old. This was especially so for the young master who was rumoured to attack a spiritual knight and was on the verge of reaching the status of a spiritual knight!
'The eldest branch of the family produced many talents. As compared to them, the fourth young master is very common...no, insignificant....since I have chosen to be with them, I should be loyal, this Yang Fan...'
The instructor glanced at Yang Fan and saw that he had not left. He gave a sigh. He purposely raised his voice and explained the Qian Kun Giant Spiritual Technique much more meticulously than before.
'Hmmm? He does not have good intention!?'
If he was an ordinary youth, he would think that the instructor was sincerely imparting the knowledge and would feel grateful.
However, Yang Fan did not know why, but he was more sensitive to the moods of people as compared to other people and could tell that the instructor was harbouring some ill-intent. It was as if Yang Fan could hear the voice in his heart.
'Practicing of martial arts require resources! If I rashly practice, I would only harm my body! Furthermore...while the clan does not prohibit people from practising, my father only allowed me to study. What if he realized that I was secretly training? I am afraid that I will receive another beating!'
Yang Fan turned and left the training ground after he thought about it.
”Hmmm? This is strange!”
The instructor lowered his voice and smirked as he saw Yang Fan left.
So what if there were consequences? He just wanted to show that he was loyal!
...
Yang Fan returned to his room. He looked at the bleak walls and laughed bitterly.
His other brothers had their own yards and servants to tend to them even though they were b*astard children as well. As for him, he even had to make his own curtains.
”At least my fifth and sixth brother knew who their mother was, but me...”
Yang Fan was silent.
While his two younger brothers were born to a servant, the servant was promoted and became a concubine of his father.
As for his own mother, she was...missing!
Truth be told, it was a very odd and disgraceful matter, especially for his father who was the eldest son of the family.
It was precisely because of this that he received no love from his relatives. If not for the ranking, no one would realise that the eldest branch of the family had a fourth young master.
The run downed room was cold as there was nothing to block the autumn breeze.
Yang Fan flipped open the book on the table and glanced at it before closing it and sighed, ”6 years of studying. It would be great if I can take the exams and become an official after 3 years. Maybe I would be able to achieve some glory and help with the family affairs. I would marry a virtuous wife and just like that, half my life would pass...but I am not willing!”
He was angry and his eyes flashed. ”Why is it that we are all part of the Yang family but are treated so differently? When I was young, I was even bullied by the servants and when I grow up, I would have to beg my brothers and mother[1]. What kind of joke is this?”
”I want to practice martial arts, I want to undergo cultivation. One day, I will overpower the Yang Family, question my father why I was treated like this and find out my mother's location!”
In the run-downed house, the youth clench his fists with a determined look.
Bang!
At this moment, the door was pushed open and a lady walked in.
This lady was around 40 years old. She was elegant and wore a lot of jewellery. Next to her stood a large servant who was carrying a blue-eyed Golden Silk Cat. The material of the clothes she wore was much better than Yang Fan.
”I have met Mother before!”
Yang Fan's heart dropped as he bowed.
This lady was his father's rightful wife, Lady Wang, who had given birth to 2 boys and 1 girl. Her position in the house was firm and she grasped the power to execute people.
”You unfilial son, what have you done today? Do dare to not listen to your father's teaching? Hmm?”
Lady Wang said with a murderous aura.
Yang Fan quivered. It was as if he saw the silhouette of the instructor and could only admit, ”I was walking past the training ground where I stopped for a while out of curiosity. Please forgive me, mother!”
”Very well, you admit? Housekeeper, give him 10 whips as a warning to the others!”
After Lady Wang gave the order, she turned around to walk out of the door.
She could deal with this b*astard child with just a word.
Behind her, the sound of the leather whip rang, leaving a bloody wound on Yang Fan's back.
In the midst of fiery pain, his magical will started to return. 'This must be avenged...wait a minute, who am I? Why am I here?'
With this thought, he had a sudden realization. ”I am not Yang Fan, I am Fang Yuan!”
[1]He is not referring to the person that give birth to him but his father's first wife.
