Ye Wu Shuang picked up the wine glass, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp, and his face became even more ruddy.
Since Elder Gu wants to talk, just say it readily, and I’ll listen.
Hearing this, Gu Qing Yan laughed heartily: “Good!”
“My father is called Shen Ming Yuan, my uncle is called Shen Ming Yan, and my grandfather is precisely Shen Yuan Zhou of the Shen family in the Four Directions Realm who is despised by everyone, and my grandmother is Xiao Ye Yu of the Xiao family, the first family in the Four Directions Realm.”
“But they’re all dead!”
Gu Qingyan’s expression carried a hint of sighing, and said, “Everyone in the Four Directions Realm says that my grandfather killed my grandmother, and that my grandfather coveted his younger brother’s wife, which is extremely immoral. But from the unwillingness of my father and uncle before they died, I know that it’s impossible!”
“As sons, they have been working hard all the time, wanting to clear their father’s name, but throughout their lives, they have worked hard and still haven’t achieved it.”
“And as a son, I also want to fulfill my father’s last wish and clear my grandfather’s name, but now… I know I can’t do it.”
“Over the years, I have gone through countless hardships and reached the initial stage of the True Saint Territory Transformation Realm. In the Xuanyuan Domain, I am a peak figure, a character who can make the ground tremble with a stomp. But looking at the entire Four Directions Realm, the True Saint Territory Transformation Realm can also become a powerhouse. After all, it is extraordinary and transcendent. But to say it’s the peak? Not qualified at all!
The more Gu Qingyan spoke, the more words he had. He drank on his own, and his expression seemed a bit unwilling.
“My uncle and my father didn’t die of exhaustion or being killed by others, but died of suffocation. They could only change their names all their lives, couldn’t enter the family. and couldn’t clear their father’s name. Under this kind of pressure, their lifespan, which should have been tens of thousands of years, ended in less than ten thousand years…”
After saying this, Gu Qing Yan murmured, “I still remember until now, when my father passed away, the direction he was looking at was precisely the Four Directions Realm. That’s where the Shen Clan is located, and it’s also our root. He didn’t want his father to be slandered, didn’t want his mother to die. but he had no way to change it…”
“That kind of helplessness, incompetence, and having no alternative has been suppressing him and bothering him all the time…”
When it came to this, tears rolled down from Gu Qing Yan’s eyes.
Ye Wu Shuang picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes slightly red.
Shen Ming Yan.
Shen Ming Yuan.
They were his own nephews, the sons of his younger sister Xiao Ye Yu!
Gu Qing Yan then said, “My eldest uncle only had one son, who is Brother Qian Ye. Qian Ye was not willing to change his surname to Gu and still called himself Shen Qian Ye. He also named his daughter Shen Yun Qin. He has an extremely good talent, better than all of us.”
“He was not convinced. Back then, grandfather took his confidants and returned to the Four Directions Realm to seek an explanation, but they all died in battle. Shen Qian Ye was not convinced that grandfather died wrongly. With this kind of dissatisfaction, he finally went to the Four Directions Realm, but after this trip, there was no news at all!”
“We are also not convinced, but we know that with the strength of the few of us, what can we do even if we go?”
“So, our generation also shoulders the pressure of our father’s generation, feeling self-blaming and guilty, yet having no alternative.”
Gu Qing Yan laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “This heaven and earth is fair, yet so unfair!”
“Ye Wu Shuang, from the very beginning when I knew you and gradually got to know you, how I wished you were my son. If so, you would surely be able to accomplish what we couldn’t!”
After Gu Qing Yan finished speaking, he laughed heartily and said, “I’m not trying to take advantage of you, hahahaha…”
Looking at Gu Qing Yan who was laughing heartily, yet his face was full of bitterness. Ye Wu Shuang poured a glass of wine, picked up the wine glass, looked at Gu Qing Yan, and directly said, “Actually, I am Xiao Yun Sheng!”
“Hahahaha… Drink, drink…”
After Ye Wu Shuang’s words fell, Gu Qing Yan didn’t react at all for a moment, and just asked Ye Wu Shuang to drink.
“In the past, I was born in the Xiao Clan. My father is Xiao Wen Ren, my grandfather is Xiao Yu Quan. I have a half-sister named Xiao Yun Yin and a half-brother named Xiao Yun Yan.”
“My mother is from the Ning Family in the Four Directions Realm. But the Ning Family is too weak. When my mother married my father, she loved my father in her heart. But in my father’s eyes, there was only the First Madam Song Lian Yi. The Song Family is also much stronger than the Ning Family and is a first-class powerful family.”
When Ye Wu Shuang said these words, Gu Qing Yan’s entire gaze gradually became dull.
Ye Wu Shuang, however, was still talking on his own.
“Xiao Wen Ren would marry my mother because my mother saved his life. At that time, Song Lian Yi had been infertile. Under the pressure of the family, he married my mother as the second wife. As a result, after my mother married in, Song Lian Yi gave birth to Xiao Yun Yin and Xiao Yun Yan one after another, and my mother became an dispensable second wife in the Xiao Clan. Naturally, she didn’t have to worry about food and clothing, but my father always regarded her as air. As a result, after getting drunk once, I was born…”
Ye Wu Shuang seemed to recall things from a long time ago and muttered: “When I was a child, my mother told me that after I was born, Xiao Wen Ren was still very happy. At least… on the day I was born, he came to see me…”
“The second time he saw me was during the family test. When Xiao Wen Ren learned that my meridians were weak and my muscles and bones were decayed and not suitable for practicing martial arts, he came to see me, shook his head, and left…”
“In the more than ten years after that, I only met him at the family annual banquet. Logically, I needed to pay my respects and greet him. Other than that, the two of us never met…”
“Later, my mother died, died of illness, and also died of depression. I begged Xiao Wen Ren, begged him to go to the Tian Yuan Mountains to look for a medicinal herb to save my mother, but he was not willing. Clearly, back then, his first wife had been infertile all the time, and he dared to risk his life to go to the Tian Yuan Mountains just to condition his first wife’s body…”
“Do you know? At that time, the head of the Xiao Clan was Xiao Yuquan. Xiao Yuquan had only two sons, the eldest son Xiao Wen Tian and the second son Xiao Wen Ren. Both of them were extremely talented. For his first wife to be able to conceive, he could sacrifice his life for righteousness. Even if his death would bring great hidden dangers to the clan, he was not afraid.”
“But for the life of his second wife, he said, ‘I can’t go. If I die in the Tian Yuan Mountains, the clan will be in chaos. ‘You see? That’s how partial he is. That time, I called him father for the first time, and it was also the only time in my life that I called him father. I knocked my head until it was broken. knelt until my legs broke, and even almost lost my life. He didn’t care, he didn’t ask.”
“That time, I was in a coma for a full seven days. When I woke up, my mother had already died, the mourning hall was already empty, and the coffin had already been buried. You see, they couldn’t even wait for me, her son, to keep vigil for my own mother before burying her. She was really a woman with a hard life…”
At this point, Ye Wu Shuang poured another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
And Gu Qing Yan was already dumbfounded at this time.
