After the strong wine went down, Ye Wu Shuang suddenly coughed violently, coughing until his snot and tears flowed out. It took him a long time to catch his breath, and then he smiled bitterly and said, “This wine is too strong!”
Gu Qing Yan didn’t speak, just drank the wine and listened quietly.
“Heaven didn’t abandon me. That time, my already weak body became even weaker, but the opportunity also came.”
Ye Wu Shuang continued, “I traveled inside and outside the Four Directions Realm. Finally, I was able to cultivate martial arts again, and became an outstanding powerhouse, becoming the youngest and most powerful emperor in the Four Directions Realm. Looking at all the emperors in the entire Four Directions Realm combined, they are not my opponents!”
Another cup of strong liquor went down.
Ye Wu Shuang looked at Gu Qing Yan and smiled, “So, I returned to the Xiao Clan, but I couldn’t bear to destroy the Xiao Clan.”
“Because in the Xiao Clan, there is my grandfather who loves me. Xiao Wen Ren has never seen me since I was born, but my grandfather Xiao Yu Quan would summon me to his side whenever he was free. He would handle family affairs while I read and wrote, because at that time, I couldn’t cultivate martial arts.”
“Later, I found out that my grandfather secretly went to the Heavenly Injustice Mountain Range and had a big fight with a fourth-order holy beast and was injured. This injury has always been unable to be eliminated.”
Also because in the Xiao Clan, there is my eldest uncle Xiao Wen Tian. He often tries to persuade Xiao Wen Ren that after all. I am his son and he should treat me better. After all, even if the direct descendants of the Xiao Clan cannot cultivate martial arts, being a literary person can also contribute to the family. and can’t treat me so harshly.
“But how could Xiao Wen Ren listen? His eyes were only filled with Song Lian Yi… only Xiao Yun Yin and Xiao Yun Yan. You know, the saying ‘love me, love my dog’ also works the other way around. He didn’t like Ning Zhu Yu, and by extension, he didn’t like me either. If I could cultivate martial arts, perhaps he would take a look at me, but I couldn’t…”
Ye Wu Shuang smiled self-deprecatingly: “I can’t destroy the Xiao Clan because I still have two cousins, the current head of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yun Xian, and his younger brother, Xiao Yun Hong. The two cousins treat me extremely well!”
The servants in the family mistreated me. My half-brother and sister secretly instructed them to do so, humiliating me. scolding me, and beating me. Yun Xian Ge and Yun Hong Ge also knew about it. So, they protected me. At first, whoever humiliated, scolded, or beat me, the two cousins would punish them. But my brother and sister were too cruel. Even though they knew I was a useless person, they still wanted me to die. You say, why is it like this? After all… we are all children of the same man. Why is it like this?
“So, Xiao Yun Yin and Xiao Yun Yan wanted me to die, while Xiao Yun Xian and Xiao Yun Hong always protected me. The four of them could be considered as having a battle of wits and courage…”
“So, back then, when I was in the Xiao Clan, there were people I wanted to kill, as well as people I was grateful to and missed, and yet they were all family.”
“After I returned to the Xiao Clan, I moved my mother’s grave to the side of the grave that Xiao Wen Ren had prepared for himself. I told Xiao Wen Ren that if he dared to touch my mother’s grave, I would kill his two children!”
“Guess what?”
At this point, a hint of a sinister smile appeared in Ye Wu Shuang’s eyes and he said, “Xiao Wen Ren scolded me, scolded me for being rebellious and heartless. So… I gave him a slap and broke half of his teeth!”
Gu Qing Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this.
“I planted the You Jiu Tian Xuan Flowers all around my mother’s grave. By the way, the You Jiu Tian Xuan Flowers are the holy flowers that could have saved my mother’s life back then. They are extremely poisonous!”
“It was also later, when I became the emperor, that I found out that my mother didn’t die of illness, but was poisoned to death.”
When he said this, Ye Wu Shuang drained the wine in the cup and smiled self-mockingly, saying, The hateful thing is that I was too weak at that time. I didn’t know anything. And later. I found out that the person who poisoned my mother was Song Lian Yi, Xiao Wen Ren’s first wife!
“So…”
Ye Wu Shuang paused for a moment, looked at Gu Qing Yan, and smiled, saying, “I killed Song Lian Yi. On that day, I gathered Xiao Wen Ren, Xiao Yun Yin, Xiao Yun Yan, and all the members of the Xiao Clan together and publicly used the method of lingchi to kill Song Lian Yi. Her flesh was cut off piece by piece. I saw Xiao Wen Ren crying, and I saw Xiao Yun Yin and Xiao Yun Yan crying…”
“Actually, I still don’t understand why. My mother was only from the Ning family, a third-rate family at that time. My grandfather wasn’t even a Ancient Saint at that time. The Ning family really didn’t pose a threat. Xiao Wen Ren really didn’t like my mother, nor did he like me. Our mother and son were more like transparent people in the Xiao Clan. In that small courtyard, for those ten-odd years, I was a useless person, but that was the happiest time of my life because there was the braised pork made by my mother, the clothes sewn by my mother, the feigned angry scolding of my mother, and the care and concern of my mother…”
“I don’t know why Song Lian Yi wanted to poison my mother. She didn’t pose any threat at all…”
Having said this, Ye Wu Shuang didn’t even notice that two lines of hot tears flowed down and dripped into the wine cup.
“So later, when I returned to the Xiao Clan and learned the truth, I had no evidence, but I knew it was the doing of Song Lianyi. Because I tortured her soul, and after cutting her into pieces, I made her soul into a long soul lamp. It burned beside my mother’s grave for a full thousand years before it went out. She suffered from the burning for a thousand years before she died. I think there is nothing more painful than this in the world.”
Gu Qingyan couldn’t help but grip his hands tightly.
“After that, I ruined Xiao Wenren’s possibility of becoming an emperor. He can only be at the peak of the Saint King for the rest of his life. I also ruined the possibility of Xiao Yunyin and Xiao Yunyan becoming emperors. I originally wanted to kill them…”
“However, grandpa and eldest uncle didn’t allow it. Grandpa cried. I know that in this world, apart from my mother, it is he who loves me the most. Therefore, my heart softened. I spared the lives of the three of them. Otherwise, I would have killed all the people of Xiao Wenren’s line at that time, and even the children of Xiao Yunyin and Xiao Yunyan, I wouldn’t have let them go!”
Not long ago, I learned that the line of Xiao Wenren seems to be not very safe. It seems that I should have killed them back then…”
“But, I also know that with my uncle here, and with Yun Xian-ge and Yun Hong-ge here, they can’t make a big splash. However, they are like bedbugs, hiding in the gutter, and they will always do something bad. It’s better if they are dead. But at that time, I really couldn’t face grandpa’s…pleading…Yes, grandpa even pleaded with me, and I could only stop and just abolished their possibility of becoming emperors!”
Ye Wu Shuang drank another cup of wine.
“When I was in a humble position, mother accompanied me, and Ye Yu accompanied me. The three of us were more like a family. Later, when I became emperor and no one could stop me, I took Ye Yu as my younger sister and added her to the Xiao Clan. and designated her as a core disciple of the Xiao Clan.”
“I told my uncle that as long as the Xiao Clan exists, Xiao Ye Yu exists. If Xiao Ye Yu is gone, although I will not be able to destroy the Xiao Clan, I will definitely kill Xiao Wen Ren, Xiao Yun Yin, and Xiao Yun Yan!”
“Yes, that’s what I said when I was about to die back then.”
“I even told grandpa that I would come back, so never take the words I said as a joke.”
Ye Wu Shuang’s expression became serious.
