Chapter 584 - I Found You (1/2)

In the middle of the Yue Family’s old dwelling, there is a wutong tree (also known as Firmiana simplex).

As a saying goes, a phoenix only perches on the wutong tree. It shows how superior the wutong tree is among all trees.

Now it is the season when the wutong tree withers. Another leaf falls with the wind.

Yue Tuzhi just watches the tree, on and on, for about half an hour.

He doesn’t even know when Third Master started to stand behind him.

“Young Master, would you like to take a rest?” Third Master can’t help asking.

Yue Tuzhi turns around to glance at him with a chuckle, takes a few steps forward and then sits on a stone bench.

“The Ning Family is over. So is the Zhao Family.” Yue Tuzhi lets out a sigh, “Everything happens too fast.”

“Young Master…”

Yue Tuzhi waves his hand, gesturing for Third Master not to speak first.

It seems that he just wants to mumble to himself, even for a little while.

“When our parents passed away, how old was he? Was he this tall?” Yue Tuzhi reaches out his hand to show the height and then shakes his head, “No, he wasn’t. He was a bit shorter than this. What does he know? He only goofs around, heartless. Yet, it is quite nice. He is rather lovely, isn’t he? By now he hasn’t known how our parents died.”

“I thought that if I kept squeezing him out, he might give up cultivating and then be an ordinary person. God knows that things become such a mess due to the appearance of Gao Ge, but it is quite good. At least, he has his own friends now. Tell me. In his heart, which one is his elder brother, Gao Ge or me?”

“I thought it would take me at least 20 or 30 years to completely control Jiangnan City. However, the Ning Family is doomed unaccountably. Now it is the Zhao Family’s turn. Then our family has become the only one ancient martial arts family in Jiangnan City without doing anything. Is this a good thing? Maybe yes… Third Master, do you think that those people will come to me?”

“Young Master, I think you can tell Gao Ge and Second Young Master about it. In light of their competence, they may not necessarily be unable to deal with it,” Third Master replies honestly.

“Tell them?” Yue Tuzhi turns around to look at him with his eyes turning red, “When my parents died, I was standing next to them. How old was I? 15 years old? 16 years old? I watched them fall down in the blood. My mother opened her mouth. She didn’t make any voice but I know what she was saying. She told me that I must look after Yue Xincheng well, but how should I look after him? Those people were standing before me. The way they looked at me… I can’t forget it by now.”

“When I was 15 or 16 years old, I stared at them, saying that I would take over Jiangnan City completely as long as I was given some time. By then, it would be easier for them to control Jiangnan City. What did I ask for in return? I asked them to let go of me and my younger brother. It would be good enough that we could stay alive. Actually, they never took me seriously, as if they had heard a joke. In the end, it was because I stabbed myself into the belly that they looked at me with staring eyes and then left with a nod. They also claimed that they would come back. If I didn’t keep my words, they would rip the heads of me and Yue Xincheng off, and then take the heads as footballs. Hey… Third Master, you were on the spot too, right?”

Third Master suddenly kneels down.

He doesn’t say anything but Yue Tuzhi knows what he wants to say.

“Third Master, it’s okay. The past is past. Even if you stood up back then, you could change nothing. They were… too strong, so strong that I don’t even dare to fight against them when I think of them now. Perhaps it is because they have left too deep a psychological shadow on me…”

Third Master says in a low voice, “Young Master, maybe they just don’t take the Yue Family seriously at all.”

“Maybe not in the old days but now they should do. What happens in Jiangnan City will be known by them sooner or later. They will think of us then. So, is everything happening too fast? Why can’t that guy give me a little more time? Why did he have to make the Zhao Family vanish in Jiangnan City so fast too?”

He takes a deep breath and takes out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

The hand that is lighting the cigarette is slightly trembling.

Even when he recalls what happened back then, he can still feel the lingering fear.

“I have thought about telling the Dragon Court about this, but if I tell them, it means falling out with those people blatantly. For such a long time being, does the Dragon Court succeed in exterminating them? No… Evidently, as a matter of fact, the Dragon Court can’t do anything about them. If they want to kill us, they have plenty of ways…”

After saying that, Yue Tuzhi stands up straightly.

“Just let them bring it on. The master of the Yue Family is me. If they want to stand behind the Yue Family, they still have to deal with me. I just hope that guy…never comes back.” Yue Tuzhi laughs with a soft look.
