“YoungMasterIamfine,butyouhavebeatenuptheFifthChamberlain.Iamafraidthatthiswillcausesomeproblems.Youshouldnothavedonethat.”

WanErwasfullofconcern.ShehadheardthattheFifthChamberlainhadbackingfromsomeone.

SuYifeltevensorrier.Atthismomentthelittlegirlwasstillonlythinkingabouthim.Hesmiledandsaid,“Don’tyouforget,nomatterwhatIbecome,IamstilltheYoungMasteroftheSuFamily.Beatingupameaslyslaveisjustasmallmatter.Youshouldtidyuptheplace.Iwillgoandvisitgrandfather.”

(TranslatedbyGravityTales😞)

“Okay.HurryupandgoseetheOldMaster.WiththeOldMasteraround,noonewoulddareharmyou.”

WanEronlyfeltslightlyrelievedafterhearingSuYi’swords.ShethoughtthatSuYiwasgoingtolookfortheOldMasterforprotection.WiththeOldMasteraround,naturally,therewasnothingtoworryabout.

SuYismiledbitterlyanddidnotsaymore.ReturningtotheSuFamily,itwasanaturalthingtolookforthegrandfatherwholovedhimthemost.

Fromthemomenthewasborn,SuYialreadyhadhismemories.Hebroughthismemorieswithhimwhenhereincarnated.

SuYirememberedthatnotlongafterhewasborn,hismotherhadlefthim.Butwhenhismotherlefthim,thetearsandreluctanceinhismother’seyeshadalwaysbeenengravedinhisheart.

“SuYi,pleaseforgiveyourfather.ThegreatestthingIcangiveyouisthatonedayIwouldfindandbringbackyourmother.Whenyougrowup,youwillunderstandmyactions!”

Notlongafter,hisfatherleftsuchwordsandhadalsodisappeared.

15yearshadpassed.Therewasnocontactwithhim.Nooneknewifhewasaliveordead.

Fromwhenhewasyoung,SuYihadneverblamedhisfatherandmotherandhadalsoneveraskedabouthisparents.

Thetearsandgriefhismotherhadwhensheleft,theperseveranceandpainhisfatherfeltwhenheleft,SuYiwasveryclearthathewasnotabandoned.Ifsomethingbigdidnothappen,hisparentswouldnothavelefthim.

Althoughhebroughtthememoriesofhispastlifewhenhereincarnated,SuYihadintegratedintotheSuFamilyveryearlyonandacceptedreality.

Thepastlifewasover.Sincehehadthechancetobereborn,hecouldnotwastethischance.

Evensinceyoung,intheSuFamily,SuYilovedhisgrandfatherthemost.

Threeyearsago,itwasalsohisgrandfatherSuYunTianwhoshowedupandsuppressedthemesshehadcaused.

Eventhoughhedidnotsayit,SuYihadalwaysfeltguiltyinhisheart.

SuYiappearedintheSuEstate.Ashewalkedalong,hehadattractedtheeyesofmanyandraisedquiteacommotion.

“YoungMasterSuYi,thankgodyouhavefinallyreturned.”

WhentheoldservantwhoalwaysfollowedSuYunTiansawSuYi,hewasveryhappy,hisfacefullofkindness.

Thisoldman’sfacemaybefullofwrinklesbutthelightinhiseyeswasstillstrangelyclear.

SuYididnotfeelanythingbackthen,butnowhecouldtellthatthisoldservantwasnotasimpleman.

Soonafter,theoldservanttoldSuYithathisgrandfatherwentintoClosedDoorCultivationamonthago.

“YoungMasterSuYi,itisgoodthatyouareback.Pleaserestfirstintheestatewhileyouwait,”theoldservantsaid.

“Fine.”

SuYinoddedandcouldonlyleave.

“Anyways,itisalsoabouttime.ThenIshallfirstpreparetoentertheFoundationBuildingStage!”

Leavingtheyard,SuYiraisedhiseyesandwhispered,“Ihavepreparedforsolong.ItisabouttimeformetoentertheFoundationBuildingstage.Quiteabitoftimehasalreadybeenwasted.”

PreparingtoentertheFoundationBuildingstage,SuYididnotdaretobecareless.HeneededtofirstgotoVastMartialPavilion.

TheSuFamilyhadtheVastAcademicsPavilionandtheVastMartialPavilion.

UnlikeotherdisciplesoftheSuFamily,iftheywanttoentertheVastMartialPavilion,itwasnotallaneasythingtodo.

ButcomingtotheVastMartialPavilion,SuYididnotcometosearchfortechniques.RatherhecametolookformaterialsrelatedtotheFoundationBuildingStagesincehehadalreadydecidedtostartenteringthestage,thenhemustprepareappropriately.

AfterstayingintheVastMartialPavilionforfourhours,itwasalmostdusk,onlythendidSuYileavetheVastMartialPavilion.

“YoungMasterSuYi,youreallyhavereturned!”

JustashewalkedoutoftheVastMartialPavilion,abigguardwholookedaround40yearsold,hisbodypackedwithmuscleswaswaitingneartheentrance.

ThebigmanwasobservingSuYi,lookingabitsurprised.

ThiswasnotthedepressedfigurethatwastravelingthroughtheSuFamilylikewildfire,instead,withhisaccumulatedexperienceofbringingtroopsouttofightallyearround,theyoungmaninfrontofhimgavehimanindescribablefeeling.

“UncleHan,istheresomethingforme?”

SuYiknewSuBaiHan.HewasalwaystheleaderoftheSuFamily’sguards.Eventhoughhewasamemberofthebranchfamily,buthispositionintheSuFamilywasnotatalllow.HewasalsosomeonewhotheOldMasterhadpraised.WhenSuYiwasyoung,SuBaiHanhadevencarriedhimbefore.

HenceSuYiwasalwaysverypoliteandrespectfulwhenfacingSuBaiHan.

“Thereissometrouble.MoBuFan,HeSan,SongWuQiuhavebroughtquiteafewpeopleandhaveblockedthemaingate.TheysaythattheywanttomeetYoungMaster.”

SuBaiHanwasverypolite,butinfact,thetruthwasthatMoBuFan,SongWuQiu,andHeSanhadbroughtquiteafewyoungmastersfromdifferentfamiliesinthecityandwerecurrentlyblockingthemaingate,shoutingoutthattheywantedtokillSuYi.

MoBuFanandthelotofthemwereyoung,buttheiridentitieswerenotsimple.

TheHighEldersoftheSuFamilychosetoremainsilentatthispointintimeNoonewantedtointerveneinSuYi’smatter.

TheOldMasterwasalsoinClosedDoorCultivation,henceSuBaiHanhadnochoicebuttolookforSuYipersonally.

“Theycanblockthemaingatealltheywant,Idonothavethetimetobotherwiththoselittlekids.SorrytotroubleUncleHan,butcanyoupassonthemessagethataftertwodays,onceIhavefinishedmywork,Ishallgoandlookforthem.”

Afterfinishingwhathesaid,SuYilefttheplacecalmly.

Inanycase,hehadlivedfor20yearsinhispreviouslife.SuYiwastoolazytobotherwithafewlittlekids.

LookingatSuYileaving,SuBaiHanwasalsobewildered.ThisYoungMasterwaswaytooshameless.

InSuBaiHan’seyes,SuYireturnedtotheSuEstatewithoutanytraceandatthistime,hewouldnotmeetMoBuFanandtherestandhehadsaiditinsuchanicefashion.ItwasobviousthathewasintendingtohideintheSuEstateandnotgoout.

“Whyishispersonalitysodifferentfromhisfather?ishereallyhisfather’sbiologicalson?”

LookingatSuYi’sback,SuBaiHanfeltsohelpless.Hecouldonlysmilebitterly.ThefatherofthisYoungMastermayhavebeenyoungbackthen,buthewasalreadysuchagreatperson.ButasforthepersonalityofthisYoungMasterinfrontofhimsinceyoung,hecouldnotsaymuchmore.
