Before Yue Xincheng finishes his words, the phone is hung up.

He sighs, and knows what Gao Ge was thinking. A deep sense of powerlessness rises in his mind. In the past, he has never felt bad about living a rip-roaring and hard-drinking life. But now, he feels depressed, if the head of the Yue Family is, not his eldest brother, but him, then what happened to Gao Ge won’t be a problem now.

The Ning Family will not turn against the Yue Family because of Ning Shi.

They just dare not!

Yue Xincheng feels more and more anxious.

He picks up a purple clay teapot on the table and then throws it on the floor. However, he feels a twinge after it breaks into pieces. Damn, it’s worth a lot of money…

Carved wood doors are pushed from the outside, dressed in a casual suit, Yue Tuzhi comes in smilingly with hands clasped behind back.

“What happened? Who annoys you, second young master of the Yue Family?”

Seeing the guy coming in makes Yue Xincheng subconsciously stand up. He looks kind of worried and two hands of him are holding nervously together.

“Don’t make fun of me, please, Brother.”

Yue Tuzhi laughs. After seeing the scraps on the ground, he looks out and asks, “Clean it up.”

Immediately a servant comes in and begins to clean up the crumbs on the floor.

“Come, let’s take a walk.”

Yue Xincheng follows without hesitation.

The Yue Family live in a group of courtyard houses.

It’s not just a house, it’s a group of courtyard houses looking quite dizzying. These houses are filled with people who are relatives or friends of the Yue Family, or some ancient martial trainers who come to the Yue Family to seek shelter. Begging an Ancient Martial Arts Family for assistance is a normal thing among many ancient martial trainers.

It is impossible for them to not know the simple fact that sitting under a big tree can enjoy its shadow.

In a large group of courtyard houses, the two brothers are walking through the streets.

Everyone would greet them by calling, “Hello, Master. Hello, Second Young Master.”

Guys don’t know them might regard Yue Tuzhi as Yue Xincheng’s father.

Their titles are fixed, there is no way to make changes. Actually Yue Xincheng does not care at all from the bottom of his heart, he is not just acting like it’s nothing.

Sometimes, he is afraid that others would not know this, so he just tries his best to run wild and make all kinds of troubles. Therefore, everyone now mentions Yue Xincheng with a sigh, and then says, “Well, thanks to Yue Tuzhi, otherwise the Yue Family will be removed from the three Ancient Martial Arts Families of Jiangnan City!”

Yue Xincheng is satisfied with this situation.

Just like those ancient princes, it’s okay for them to indulge in eating, drinking, and having fun. The only thing that can’t be done is dealing with problems with great diligence, versatility, and alertness. If they do so, they are likely to be killed rather than praised. And the one wearing the five-claw dragon robe, might even ask, “What do you want, boy? What are you up to?”

Walking through the streets, they step on the neat bluestone slabs which have been rubbed bright after many years.

“We two haven’t been walking like this for a long time.” Yue Tuzhi always clasps hands behind his back, his waist is also not very straight. Actually, he is only 27 or 28 years old, but he always seems to show the self-importance of the aged.

Compared to Yue Xincheng, Yue Tuzhi is also more gorgeous. He is about 185 cm. And he is strong, not fat. Clothes he wears are kind of lenient, if they become a little tighter, you will see blocks of muscles are full of explosive force in his body.

Yue Xincheng doesn’t reply.

“I also know you were accepted by the Cultivation Academy.” Says Yue Tuzhi.

Yue Xincheng nods gently.

He has never thought about keeping it as a secret.

He just cannot.

“Well, good job, finally you are successful now. I don’t need to take care of you everyday.” Yue Tuzhi says with great comfort.

Yue Xincheng smiles without saying anything.

Yue Tuzhi reaches his hand out and simply puts his arm around the neck of Yue Xincheng.

This kind of action is often done by Gao Ge and Yue Xincheng can only feel very close to him. Now, he doesn’t know why he suddenly feels awkward when his brother does the same thing to him. All over him, there is an unspeakable discomfort.

“I think we are not intimate anymore, right?” Asks Yue Tuzhi.

Yue Xincheng coughs and replies, “Really? Because we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

“Actually, I know what you are thinking, boy. You are simply worried about entering the Cultivation Academy will threaten my status, so I will start to target you, right?”

Yue Xincheng is totally at lost.

He does have such concerns.

Not just him, Gao Ge is concerned about this issue, too.

What he doesn’t know is that his brother, Yue Tuzhi, just revealed this truth directly.

In Yue Xincheng’s eyes, these are dirty things, extremely dirty. But now, Yue Tuzhi picks up these dirty things, puts them in the sunlight, and places them on the table.

What does he want to do?

For Yue Tuzhi, Yue Xincheng respects and also fears him. Although so far, Yue Tuzhi has not done anything bad to him, this feeling has always been very intuitive.

“Xincheng, I never thought about making the Yue Family mine, our parents were both dead and you know how they were murdered. I can’t take revenge and finish this hatred if I am alone. My strength is limited, so I can support our family only for the time being. Eventually, the courage to avenge is doomed to fall on you. My intention to see you becoming stronger is greater than anyone else’s. Well, at least you should be better than me.” Yue Tuzhi says with a smile.

Yue Xincheng can hardly believe his ears.

What Yue Tuzhi said has a magnificent influence on him.

Yue Tuzhi clasps his hands behind and moves on, step by step, at a low speed.

He continues, “In short, you don’t need to worry about anything. Whatever you want to do, you go ahead with it. If you can’t make it, just tell me, I will help you. Well. I am afraid that I can hardly assist you since the road you have chosen to go is very difficult and complicated. Perhaps I am not able to help you much, but I won’t give up when I can still offer you a hand.”

Turning around, Yue Tuzhi looks at Yue Xincheng and pats him on the shoulder.

“As for the Ning Family, you can go if you want.”

“Seriously?” Asks Yue Xincheng surprisingly.

“Yeah, do you think I may lie to you?” Laughs Yue Tuzhi.

Feeling delightful, Yue Xincheng nods his head emphatically.

“Then I leave now?”

“Okay.”

Seeing Yue Xincheng rushing out quickly, Yue Tuzhi shakes his head and smiles bitterly.

“I wonder who is your brother now, me or Gao Ge?”

In the meantime.

The door to a courtyard house opens slowly.

An old man with a bent back dressed in a grey robe comes out.

Squinting his eyes and looking at Yue Tuzhi, he sits on the threshold slowly. His mouth curves, it looks like a smile.

“Is that woman dead totally?” Asks Yue Tuzhi.

The smile on his face is replaced by coldness.

“You won’t see her anymore, she is dead.” The old man takes out a pipe, and then knocks it on the threshold. After taking out a box of tiger-head matches by his trembling hand, he kindles a cigar with a prick, and then draws in a deep breath satisfyingly. However, tiny spots can be spotted under his fingernails in the hand holding a cigar, which resemble dry blood.

Yue Tuzhi nods softly and leaves without a word.

Looking at the back of him, the old man’s hand holding a cigar trembles slightly.

The smile on his face thickens, and he says slowly after pondering a while, “Indeed. He can be called a qualified master. Interesting, the Yue Family has a terrific master of low moral character!”

Then he begins to giggle loudly again.

Guys who are not familiar with him might think he was raised by an old hen.
