“My status is more higher class than yours!” Xiao Fei angrily responded.
“Right, higher class, isn’t Nuo Hu higher class than you? Why do you have to put up a face that makes people disgusted with you?”
Xiao Fei’s cold deep eyes were full of anger now, “get away from Ai Er, otherwise I will give you a horrible death.”
“Get lost! I don’t have time to waste on you!” Lei Yu ignored Xiao Fei’s anger and provocation, walking around him and leaving.
“You just wait and see!” Xiao Fei’s anger completely exploded at the walking away Lei Yu. When he was abroad, he went to school together with Ai Er. A year ago Ai Er returned home, so after begging and pleading, Xiao Fei finally convinced his family to allow him to return home. But now a Lei Yu came out of nowhere, the beauty that was almost within his grasp was intercepted by another person. Xiao Fei promised that he would not let this go without a fight.
—————————————————
Lei Yu is currently with Dragon Group, which is just one of the many forces belonging to Martial Sect. Inside Martial Sect, all the large and small military units were actually set up by the families of different ancient martial clans. But nevertheless, all these military units are lead by the most powerful Shangguan family.
Although the elite members of Dragon Team only had eighteen members, adding the newly joined Lei Yu this past year made it nineteen. Everyone worked hard continuously cultivating, and Lei Yu cultivated by himself had reached the [Energy Suppression] mid-stage, which also happens to be the mid-stage of the rank Fourth Order Warrior. If he was able to attain the rank of the Sixth Order Warrior, which according to his cultivating methods imprinted in his mind, would be the [Detachment] stage, then what should he do after that? Would that mean he would no longer have any further cultivation methods? But he shouldn’t dwell on this too much because ever since he improved with the help of the jade pendant, he had relaxed his cultivating schedule a bit. Lei Yu sat down cross-legged, and as usual, went into his consciousness, but this time he did not dare to use it to enter the jade pendant. Although the gains were enormous and improved his cultivation greatly, this was still a bit too dangerous for him.
The Lei family household, Lei Yun Tian’s office.
“Master (of the family), the child Lei Yu, are you sure you don’t intend on dealing with him? Asked an elderly person with white hair.
Lei Yun Tian shook his head, “not time yet, definitely not time yet.”
“You should be able to see the situation with Lei Tian was quite clear, especially when Lei Tian himself said that his arm was broken in an instant. This destructive power is not something an ordinary person is capable of, besides, there were traces of a lightning power, could it be…”
“I’ve already thought about this point, the problem is that day, I was the one that gave the order for him to be kicked out of the family. If we go back on our words now, then our family will definitely lose face!” Lei Yun Tian was helpless, the decision that day was too arbitrary.
As a descendant of the Lei family, who happens to have the ability of lightning, there’s only one possibility right now – the original “lightning” brand. In the Lei family, this brand appeared on the third generation’s master of the family, but ever since he had passed away, the brand never appeared anymore in the descendants. Based on Lei Tian’s description, it is likely that Lei Yu could be the Lei family’s ultimate genius that appears once every 10,000 years. That day, Lei Yu was suspected of not having a pure enough family blood line so the flame brand did not appear on him, now thinking about it, not only the master of the family Lei Yun Tian, even the white-haired Elder felt a bit embarrassed. They forced a person who could’ve been the successor to lead their Lei family to the next higher level, right out of the family’s door.
“So master, what are you waiting for?” asked the Elder.
“We have not seen with our own eyes whether Lei Yu is the so called ultimate genius, and also no one has actually seen whether he has the lightning brand or not, so this matter cannot be settled yet.”
“Isn’t that easily solved? I’ll just send someone to investigate quietly and then we’ll know?”
“That’s fine then, but this situation should be conducted in secrecy so the other family members do not know about it. You should know, Lei Yu has currently joined Dragon Group, every move we make should be extra careful. This situation should only be known between you and I, pertaining to Lei Tian…, warn him that if he spreads this secret out, then he will be punished according to the Lei family’s rules!”
“I understand.” The Elder turned around and left the office.
Lei Yun Tian looked up and sighed, “I am such a fool! That days decision has really made me beyond regretful. Perhaps it’s all too late now, but I just hope Lei Yu does not hold this grudge against me!”
Lei Yun Tian was completely clear about Lei Yu’s performance ever since he was young. Towards the family, the child did not have any disloyalty. Even when he was identified as not having the family’s brand, he would still put in a lot of effort into improving himself, proving his existence to others. Now that he was kicked out of the family, he wasn’t sure if Lei Yu would hold a grudge or not?
Little did they know, during times unknown to Lei Yun Tian, the little Lei Yu suffered so much humiliation in those five years and survived countless beatings. Even the truth behind Lei Yu jumping off the cliff, he knew nothing of. He had always thought it was the results of Lei Yu being too weak. If he had only knew the truth, then perhaps he would not put any hope in bringing him back into the family.
Unaware of what was happening, Lei Yu continued going on with his life like before. But off to the side, there was a pair of eyes staring and following him wherever he went.
