Chapter 7: Expelled from Home

  Shangguan Yu suddenly understood, he was originally a clever person. Shangguan Xinghong's previous attitude was just because he thought he could cultivate martial arts. However, when Shangguan Xinghong found out that he couldn't cultivate martial arts, his attitude changed dramatically.

  He really didn't dare to believe that the father who had once loved him was such a petty person. At this moment, he felt that Shangguan Xinghong was so strange, and their distance was so far away.

  "Hmph... I understand. Say whatever you want, kill me if you must!"

  Shangguan Yu's heart actually didn't want to die, he hadn't seen his parents yet, and he hadn't experienced the joys and sorrows of martial arts. He didn't know why, but he was so interested in martial arts, as if he had a passion for it deep down. How much he wanted to become stronger, to avoid being at the mercy of others like a fish on a chopping board. Would heaven give him another chance?

  Shangguan Xinghong looked at Shangguan Yu's appearance, but didn't have much feeling. He just thought of that majestic figure, and no matter what, he didn't dare to make a move. Who knew what kind of legendary person had what kind of earth-shattering methods.

  "Alright, considering the father-son relationship we've had for so many years, I'll let you off this time. From now on, leave the Upper Official's household!" He was indeed a cunning old fox, clearly afraid of that majestic figure, yet claiming it was out of consideration for their father-son bond.

  Shangguan Yu knelt down in front of Shangguan Jinghong, "thud" "thud" "thud", knocking his head three times. After all, Shangguan Jinghong had raised him for so many years, and these three knocks on the head represented the end of their father-son relationship. Now, even if he understood what kind of person Shangguan Jinghong was, he couldn't erase the fact that Shangguan Jinghong had raised him for so many years.

  Shangguan Xinghong didn't stop him, he didn't want to see Shangguan Yu for a moment. This waste, the more he looked at him, the more displeasing he became, the more annoying he felt. If this waste left early, he would also be relieved and wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

  Shangguan Yu stood up, looking around the home he had been in for ten years with a sense of detachment. The only thing that weighed on his mind was Shangguan Qingcheng, his younger sister whom he loved dearly. He could imagine how devastated she would be when he left. Thinking about her lonely and wandering eyes, Shangguan Yu felt a pang of sadness. However, things had come to this point, and he could only leave the Shangguan household.

  "Something's gone terribly wrong! Something awful has happened!"

  Ma Wen rushed in hastily, amazingly this fatty could run so fast. The entire martial arts arena was shaken up, Ma Wen's face was also filled with urgency.

  Shangguan Xinghong also found it strange. Ma Wen usually looked like a steady person, what exactly made him so flustered? In the mansion, Ma Wen was always good at handling things, otherwise he wouldn't have let Ma Wen be the steward in the first place.

  However, Shangguan Yu immediately discovered that something was wrong. He had clearly handed over Shangguan Qingcheng to Ma Wen, so why had Ma Wen returned now, but Shangguan Qingcheng was nowhere to be seen?

  "Uncle, is something wrong with Qingcheng? You'd better speak up quickly!"

  Shangguan Yu grabbed Ma Wen's arm, no one was more worried about Shangguan Qingcheng than him. Just now he was thinking of Shangguan Qingcheng, how could something happen to her now? Hopefully she hadn't gotten into trouble, but had just been handed over to other servants by Ma Wen to take care of.

  Ma Wen looked at Shangguan Yu again, then shifted his gaze to Shangguan Jinghong. "Master, the young lady was taken away by a woman, and this is the letter he left behind!"

  Shangguan Xinghong immediately took the letter, thinking that it was an enemy who had come to his doorstep. After many years of fighting abroad and being arrogant at home, he didn't know how many people he had offended. If the other party demanded too great a price from him, then he decided not to want this daughter after all. Anyway, she was just a pick-up, and in the future, she would only be used as a tool.

  "I met this young girl today and found her talent to be excellent. I will take her back to the Qiyiguan, where she can be properly trained. When she has achieved success in her cultivation, she will naturally have the opportunity to return. Do not worry! The Qiyiguan is no weaker than the Zhenwumen, both are top-notch sects. I do not wish to owe anyone a favor, so I am leaving behind three Wang-level pellets and one Huang-level pellet."

  After reading the letter, Shangguan Xinghong felt that heaven was blessing him so much. He thought it was an enemy coming to his door, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Qingcheng would have such a good encounter. Especially since Qiyiguan is not inferior to Zhenwumen, what kind of prestige will the Shangguan family have in the future?

  Shangguan Xinghong picked up a small porcelain bottle from the envelope, opened the stopper. A refreshing fragrance came out, and Shangguan Yu and Ma Wen also felt refreshed. He quickly covered the stopper again, thinking of the four round dan medicines inside, he couldn't help but feel excited. If these four dan medicines were used well, he would reach the imperial extreme in a very short period of time.

  He looked up at the imperial palace, a hint of venom flashing in his eyes. When he rose to power in the future, he would surely overthrow the Li family. The current Emperor of the Flying Feather Dynasty, Li Zheng, had only just entered the Imperial Extreme realm.

  Shangguan Yu kept looking at Shangguan Jinghong, seeing that Shangguan Jinghong was not worried at all, but rather joyful. He knew that Shangguan Qingcheng must be fine, and he felt relieved.

  Shangguan Xinghong cast a disdainful glance at him, "My daughter Shangguan Qingcheng has joined the Qi Yi Pavilion, a supreme sect on par with the Zhenwu Sect. How can you, a useless waste, compare to her?"

  Shangguan Yu didn't mind Shangguan Jinghong's tone, as long as he knew Shangguan Qingcheng was fine. "Qiyi Pavilion, I, Shangguan Yu, will come. Little Qingcheng, you must be very lonely there? Wait for me, Third Brother will come to see you, hoping you're doing well!" Shangguan Yu thought silently in his heart as he gazed at the distant horizon.

  Shangguan Xinghong looked at Shangguan Yu, who was lost in thought, and coldly snorted, "What's wrong with you, useless thing? Can't even leave on your own. Do I need to ask you to get out?"

  He didn't respond to the magistrate's surprise, turned around and resolutely walked away. He no longer had any attachment to this family, leaving this cold home without any reluctance.

  Ma Wen could only stare at all of this in shock, still not understanding how Shangguan Jinghong had driven away Shangguan Yu. However, he was just a steward, and this curiosity could only be buried in his heart; he wasn't qualified to ask questions.

  Shangguan Yu had just walked to the door when he saw Shangguan Jiancheng not far away. He knew that it might not be so easy to leave quietly this time.

  "Hey? Isn't this the young master of our superior's household? Where are you going at this late hour?" Of course, Shangguan Jiancheng still didn't know that Shangguan Yu had been driven out of the house. After all, only three people knew about it so far: Shangguan Jinghong, Ma Wen, and Shangguan Yu himself.

  Shangguan Yu didn't want to attend Shangguan's town-building ceremony, he just wanted to leave this house as soon as possible. Anyway, he had already been driven out of the house, so it was better to leave early.

  However, Shangguan Jiancheng did not intend to let him off, and came straight to Shangguan Yu's face, blocking his way. He raised his head proudly, as if he was born more noble than Shangguan Yu.

  "What's wrong with you? Seeing Second Brother off without even a greeting? Don't you know the rules?"

  "Get out of my way, don't block me. You have nothing to do with me, don't try to get close to me!" He really had nothing good to say about Shangguan Jiancheng. He just thought that as children of the same Shangguan family, why was there such a big difference between Shangguan Jiancheng and Shangguan Qingcheng?

  But Shangguan Jiancheng should be from the same family as Shangguan Jinghong, then what about Shangguan Qingcheng? Is she also the same? Shangguan Yu didn't know that he was actually right, Shangguan Qingcheng was indeed picked up.

  "Listen, listen!" Officer Jian Cheng pointed at the servants around him and then at Officer Yu, "He actually spoke to me like that? Do I need to curry favor with him? Who does he think he is?"

  "You might not know, but I've already cut all ties with the Shangguan family. You said it was my second brother, wasn't that just a way of getting close to me?"

  This time, however, it was Shangguan Jiancheng's turn to be shocked. He didn't understand what Shangguan Yu meant by this sentence. What did he mean by saying that he had nothing to do with the Shangguan family? Even if he no longer got along with Shangguan Yu, he couldn't just say they had nothing to do with each other and make it so. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Shangguan Yu had already been driven out of the house by Shangguan Jinghong.

  "Second Master, the Old Master is calling for you!" At this time, a servant hastily rushed over.

  "Oh, I'm going right away. Shangguan Yu, don't run, wait for me to come and capture you. Hmph!"

  Shangguan Jiancheng never dared to go against his father's will, and when he heard that Shangguan Xinghong was looking for him, he immediately ran over.

  Shangguan Yu looked at the departing Shangguan Jiancheng, feeling a lot more relaxed in his heart. He had thought he would still have to fight another battle here, and although he wasn't afraid of Shangguan Jiancheng, if the latter brought his guards along, he would only end up getting thrashed. After all, no one wanted to be beaten by others, unless they were a true martial arts fanatic or a pervert.

  Shangguan Yu walked out of the Shangguan house, and by now the sky had already darkened. Fortunately, tonight the bright moon was in the sky, illuminating the path ahead for Shangguan Yu.

  He turned back to look at the Upper House for a moment, with some joy, some worry, some anger, some happiness, some sorrow... All of this had nothing to do with him anymore, he was no longer the young master of the Upper House.

  However, he is not prepared to change the surname Shangguan. Not only because he doesn't know what his original surname was, but also because he needs the surname Shangguan to motivate himself. As long as he is called Shangguan Yu, he will always remember these things, motivating him to become stronger and move forward bravely.

  He, Huang Yu, is absolutely not a waste material. Can't he cultivate yuanqi? He doesn't believe that even if he puts in ten times more effort than others, it's still not enough. He doesn't believe that he's destined to be ordinary for his whole life. No one is born to be ordinary, as long as he's willing to strive, he will definitely not be inferior to others in the future.

  He was thinking to himself, but accidentally bumped into someone.

  "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention!" Shangguan Yu still didn't raise his head, only habitually saying a apologetic phrase. He was still thinking about his own matters and hadn't noticed the person in front of him at all.

  "Xiao Yu, what's wrong with you? Just tell your uncle and it'll be fine!" A gentle voice came over, making Shangguan Yu feel like a spring breeze.

  Shangguan Yu finally lifted his head, and in front of him was none other than the legendary Zhi Jue Wang of the Fei Yu Dynasty.
