Young Lord?
What the h*ck!?
Yu Tian looked at Uncle Long with a perplexed expression. The older man was acting differently from before.
However, they were still inside the Chu family’s ancestral hall. Thus, Uncle Long simply remained silent.
Several minutes later, Uncle Long rose to his feet. He turned around and stared at Yu Tian. The latter could not help but stagger backward due to the fervent gaze.
Yu Tian would have a better reaction if a beautiful woman was staring at him like that, but this was an old man.
“Uncle Long, what do you mean by Young Lord?”
Yu Tian asked softly. Things had gone beyond his expectations. He needed to figure out the situation.
The older man nodded his head as he wiped the tears off the corners of his eyes. Then, he bowed respectfully to Yu Tian.
It caused the latter to frown. This formal etiquette was only performed during the ancient days!
“The Chu family became so powerful because of the Yu family.”
What Uncle Long said startled Yu Tian.
The Yu family was the reason why the Chu family became successful.
‘D*mn, but why was my life so miserable in comparison?’
Yu Tian could not even afford three meals a day ever since his parents went missing!
Uncle Long sighed as he could tell what the young man was thinking.
“The Chu family is ancillary to the Yu family. The former used to be one of the more inferior families.”
Yu Tian’s mouth was agape. He was completely stunned.
Why did this scenario sound like something out of a novel?
It must be nonsense!
“Are you going to tell me that I’m actually the abandoned young master of a massive family who has finally been found?”
Yu Tian guessed. It would be so melodramatic if that was the truth.
Uncle Long chuckled at the comment and waved his hand dismissively in the air.
“Calm down. You’re right, but not entirely. A hundred years ago, the Yu Family experienced a catastrophe and suffered an inevitable decline. Fast forward to this day, you’re the Yu Family’s only descendant that’s still alive.”
A solemn expression took over the elder man’s face.
“Of course, we’re still not completely certain that your parents are dead.”
What?
Shocked, Yu Tian grabbed the older man’s arm.
“Are you saying that my parents are still alive?”
Uncle Long nodded. He budged slightly, but that was enough to make the young man stagger backward. His expression then became stern.
“We have no evidence to prove that they’re dead. For now, you’re not entitled to learn the truth, especially concerning this issue. Don’t worry though. You’ll know more once you prove your self-worth. There will be many tests ahead of you.”
Uncle Long smiled gently and grabbed a wooden chair from the side.
“The world isn’t as simple as you thought.”
He added before slowly placing his fingers on top of the back of the chair.
‘Crack!’
The man crushed the back of the thick wooden chair effortlessly.
Yu Tian could not believe what he saw.
‘Gulp.’
“Uncle… Uncle Long, you’re not telling me that cultivation is real, right?” he said with a quivering voice.
Uncle Long chuckled.
“A lot of things that you have read from novels exist, albeit slightly different.”
Yu Tian smiled bitterly. The changes in his life were definitely not ordinary!
Out of nowhere, he suddenly had one hundred and eight elder sisters. They gave him wealth, a business to run, and anything else that he ever wanted. There’s a catch to everything. Only a fool would believe otherwise!
Yet, things seemed to be going well so far.
