The message from the other side of the phone surprised Lin Yuhao so much that he forgot Nie Chenyuan was still next to him.

Hearing Lin Yuhao’s genuine exclamation, Nie Chenyuan frowned. Qingyun was still a high school student. Wasn’t it normal to go back to school now? Why was Lin Yuhao so astonished? What did he do to make sure that Qingyun didn’t attend school?

“So these injuries on my body were self-inflicted?”

The image of Qingyun’s blazing red eyes while saying these words suddenly appeared in Nie Chenyuan’s mind. He could not help but look profoundly at Lin Yuhao.

Lin Yuhao unconsciously made a slip of the tongue. The more he schemed, the deeper it became. Lin Yuhao knew that it would be worse if he explained his circumstances.

Feeling a sense of relief, he continued to focus on the call. “The last time I saw Xiao Yun, he was also heartbroken because of his father’s death. It’s good that he’s reverted back to normal now.”

“You pay more attention to him at school.”

Seeming extremely concerned about Qingyun, Lin Yuhao repeatedly told the person over the phone a few times, but Nie Chenyuan’s eyes were dark throughout the phone call.

“Lin-ge, Aunt Lin is coming to see you at school today…”

On hearing this, Lin Yuhao’s eyes displayed a bit of grimness. He hung up with a laugh, but anger surged throughout his body. How could Qingyun still be alive? And coincidentally pick a time like this to go to school? Nie Chenyuan also happened to ask about him today…

Lin Yuhao felt like something was off. He was not afraid of Mother Lin finding out that he was the one who killed Qingyun. He was afraid of Qingyun spouting nonsense after excitedly meeting Mother Lin in school.

After all, Lin Yuhao was also went to the same school. Qingyun’s words might cause damage to his fake reputation.

“Nie-ge,” Lin Yuhao laughed embarrassingly, “My mother is going to see me at school. It’s best that I go back before she finds out.”

Lin Yuhao was too old to attend high school. He had dropped out of school in the past. Mother Lin found out and wanted to compensate him which led to him being forced into a high school.

“Xuancheng Middle School, right? I graduated from that school too. I’ll go back and visit.”

Nie Chenyuan kept a poker face as he straight up lied. He had long forgotten which high school he went to. He was strictly going to because he was worried about Qingyun.

Nie Chenyuan believes more than 80% of Qingyun’s words now that Lin Yuhao exposed multiple clues. Even though Qingyun had a higher level of cultivation than Lin Yuhao, he still had a vague fear of Lin Yuhao during banquet from before. But how did Lin Yuhao injure him?

Nie Chenyuan thought about Qingyun; then looked at Lin Yuhao. And he suddenly began to doubt his ability to judge people.

The person who was supposed to be weak and cowardly was actually powerful and arrogant; the one who was supposed to be open and generous was in reality, a poisonous snake spitting venom.

A low-key but luxurious Bentley parked at the school gate. The door slowly opened and the luxuriously dressed Mother Lin got out.

“Just stop here.” She turned around and smiled at the driver in the car. “I am only going in to check up on Yuhao. I’m afraid he’s hasn’t adapted to this new environment since he’s only been at school for a few days. So please wait here for a moment.” she told the driver in a soft voice.

Mother Lin always has a gentle and intimate smile on her face. Although she is over forty years old, she is well-maintained. She has both the gentleness and intellectuality of mature women and the vague innocence of teenage girls. Being the madame of the Qing family for nearly twenty years also gave added an aura of dignity to her.

This is obviously a woman who knows how to play her cards properly. (T/N: Overall, mother Lin is a sly bit*h.) (E/N: Lol, I agree.)

Lin Yuhao is nearly 20 years old. (E/N: Holy… A 20 year old in high school…) He dropped out of school after he graduated from junior high school. But Mother Lin felt guilty about it and wanted to fix his student career so, she sent him to the best school in the province.

Walking leisurely on the school path, Mother Lin reached out to catch a falling leaf and smiled slightly.She already knew that Lin Yuhao wasn’t interested in living a school life at all. She also knew that Lin Yuhao probably wasn’t in school right now. Nonetheless, she knew how to make Lin Yuhao happy. Therefore she will try her best to act the way Lin Yuhao wants her to. (T/N: …) (E/N: Don’t do that… Just act how you want to act.)

Letting the leaf fall, Mother Lin turned her head. But what she saw made her eyes widen. The tender expression on her face had completely stiffened, forming a distorted mask.

“How could you be here?!” (T/N: “I took the bus to school.” said sarcastic QY.)

Qingyun was also a little surprised. He was really interested in this world’s advancing technology and was curious about their education system. So he came to the school today to deal with the multiple absences he had but didn’t expect to meet these people here.

Looking at Mother Lin who was almost rigid in her place, Lin Yuhao, who was standing behind her with a gloomy expression, and Nie Chenyuan, who came here somehow, Qingyun pulled the corners of his mouth up slightly.

“I go to school here too.” Qingyun glanced at Mother Lin and replied faintly.

Hearing this, two people’s faces behind Mother Lin changed slightly at the same time. Lin Yuhao put on a helpless expression, but his eyes were a little more gloomy. He quickly walked to Mother Lin.

Nie Chenyuan looked at Mother Lin thoughtfully. Has she not been in the Qing family for nearly 20 years? How could she possibly not know that Qingyun also went to this high school? Her reaction was exactly the same as Lin Yuhao’s as if they were two peas in a pod.

Like two peas in a pod?

Nie Chenyuan’s pupils shrank, and he was shocked as he looked at Mother Lin who was leaning on Lin Yuhao.

Lin Yuhao making a move on Qingyun, Nie Chenyuan can understand. But Mother Lin acknowledged it? She was Qingyun’s biological mother for 18 years yet she didn’t even bother to stop Lin Yuhao after knowing he tried to kill Qingyun.

Just the thought of what Qingyun had experienced at the end sent chills down Nie Chenyuan’s spine.

Qingyun was laughing. For what reason did Mother Lin ask him why he was here? She was afraid that he’s still alive. This woman was obviously aware of the fact that Qingyun had gone to see her a few days ago, but Lin Yuhao had stopped him from going in order to kill him in ways only a murderer would know.

Lin Yuhao comes to hold up Mother Lin and looks at her with concern. Although he doesn’t show it on his face, his heart was filled with hatred.

He believed he had beat that Qingyun till his last breath with death at his door, but he didn’t expect that he would show up at school today. Classes have just ended and the students are leaving the building. If Qingyun says anything unnecessary, then his painstakingly made image would be ruined.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuhao’s eyes became a bit fierce.

“Mother’s been feeling a bit restless lately. Seeing you made her afraid to recall those unpleasant memories when she was still forced so, her mood may be worse than usual.”

Mother Lin showed a haggard face, frowning weakly and leaning against Lin Yu’s bosom. (T/N: … I have no words for their ambiguous relationship… )

“Forced?” Qingyun said with a sarcastic tone as he stepped closer to the mother and son who were leaning together with sharp eyebrows and sharp words. “Then my father was really foolish for forcing you to become the wife of the Qing family, forcing you to be warmhearted towards him, forcing you to enjoy the rights of being the wife of the Qing family’s head, and finally forcing you to take the property of your deceased husband while you live in peace with the man who killed him?”

Lin Yuhao was caught off guard when Qingyun mentioned that he had killed Qing Haolin. Lin Yuhao was very cautious and secretive, even Qing Haolin who fought against him did not find that his body was penetrated by him. So how did Qingyun find out?

“Shut up!” Mother Lin opened her eyes wide and scolded him. A sense of confusion arose in her heart, but she ignored it. “What relation it there with Qing Haolin’s death and Yuhao? Xiao Yun, Yuhao is your brother, even if you curse me, you can’t just randomly blame people.”

Mother Lin secretly gnashed her teeth. Qingyun was always so clever and cowardly, when did he find the courage to speak up?

Surrounding them were classmates who had a good relationship with Lin Yuhao, and they began to back him up. Nie Chenyuan was silently contemplating. In the past, Mother Lin Mu was property married into the Qing family and the wedding planner invited many well-known figures from the Guwu world to their wedding banquet. It really did not look like a cover-up.

“Brother?” Qingyun tilted his head sideways, quietly looking at Mother Lin, his reddish eyes did not hide his sharp appearance.

“Mom, back when he was going to kill me, did you tell him that I was his brother?”The teenager’s words had struck Nie Chenyuan’s heart.

Looking at Qingyun’s clear eyes, he suddenly felt as if he was standing on Lin Yuhao’s side. He was embarrassed being stared down by Qingyun with his cold-eyed attitude. Just when he wanted to go forward, he was completely frozen in place by Qingyun’s piercing cold eyes.

Mother Lin was surprised, but she looked like she didn’t know what Qingyun was talking about. She shook her head helplessly.

She covered her face and sighed, “Xiaoyun, your birth was a mistake.” (T/N: YO THIS FATHERFU*KER. She literally said that.) (E/N: This woman will die a horrible death :D)

Qingyun turned around and left without a pause. It seemed that his biological mother’s words, which totally denied him, could no longer hurt him.

“It seems like we’ve been a joke to you.” Mother Lin turned to Nie Chenyuan with a haggard smile and said, “Qingyun, this child’s attitude has always been somewhat extreme. I didn’t think that he’d even say such a thing today.”

Lin Yuhao also smiled helplessly, but no matter how he hid it, the color of his face was still dark.

“Oh? It’s all his fault?” Nie Chenyuan laughed sarcastically and without waiting for an answer, he chased after Qingyun.

Seeing this situation, Lin Yuhao finally could not help but gnash his teeth in anger. He spent so long trying to get the Nie family on his side yet, in the end, he failed due to Qingyun’s two sentences.

Qingyun left the school grounds and sat in the car sent by the Nie family, carefully searching for memories of the original Qingyun’s family. He did not think that Mother Lin had been forced in the past, but that woman had a scheming mind and it would not be easy to find any evidence.

“Change course, go to the Qing family’s old house.” Qing Yun said, looking up at the driver.

Qingyun knew that Lin Yuhao couldn’t be overthrown in one day. The protagonists supported by the Tao of Heaven still had some abilities. Being the center focus, all the people around the protagonist seem to be blind, and the protagonist was the boss.

What he said today planted a seed of doubt in the hearts of the people around him. What Qing Yun wants is a complete reversal. Three years later, the next Guwu Conference would be a good opportunity.

At that time, Qing Yun’s soul will have recovered and raise his body to the highest level. The destroyed Dantian, the plundered property and martial arts, everything. Qingyun will stand in the place that was once Lin Yuhao’s and repay him, a thousand times more!

As for killing him? Qingyun would not do such a dumb thing that would trigger the Tao of Heaven’s anger. He preferred to watch Lin Yuhao feel like he would rather die than live than simply killing him.magic

It was a new experience for Nie Chenyuan to be in hot pursuit of his own family’s car. To be precise, all he had experienced after meeting Qingyun were very novel.

Thinking of this, Nie Chenyuan could not help laughing bitterly. I’m blind, I was blind. I even appreciated Lin Yuhao before today. There is Mother Lin’s affair and all kinds of obvious loopholes that have not been carefully considered, which simply does not conform to his usual style of dealing with things.

Nie Chenyuan lit a cigarette and held it while waiting for the red light. From the attitude of Mother Lin and Lin Yuhao, Nie Chenyuan can easily guess what absurd and depressing things Qingyun had encountered before.

He could hardly imagine what kind of mood Qingyun was in when he hear his own mother’s persecution, causing him to accept Lin Yuhao’s torture. If not, how could Lin Yuhao, who was only at the seventh level of Last Heaven, cause harm to the perfectly fine Qingyun who was at Central Heaven? (T/N: funny how he still believes QY is at Central Heaven…) (E/N: when will QY be exposed >∇<)

No wonder why Qingyun was so angry at his words when they met for the first time. What kind of Lin Yuhao was generous and what kind of biological mother was there. These words simply stabbed a knife in Qingyun’s heart. (T/N: errr… he’s saying like that type of person doesn’t exist. So that ‘kind’ LYH never existed and that mother of his is just tra$h, garbage, all the above. Which is NOT how a mother should be like.)

Nie Chenyuan couldn’t help but show a face full of shame. Yesterday, Qingyun was still clearing his miderians. Today, he stood on the opposite side of Qingyun to unravel his bloody wounds. (T/N: not literally. It means to put more salt on his wounds. Hurt him more.)

The child had never really cared about himself, and now he’s probably even more tired of doing so.

Suddenly, his eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily. This was not the way back to the Nie family’s house.

The Qing family’s old house? Qingyun unexpectedly returned to this place. The car slowly approached, but the sight caused Nie Chenyuan’s heart to feel clenched, completely disturbing his thoughts.

In front of them, the vast and empty old house of the Qing family kindled a fire, and the sky was dyed grey by the billowing smoke. (E/N: Who set the house on fire?!? I bet the blame would go on QY… But I hope that doesn’t happen…) (T/N: Ms. Panda is raising flags… also if you guys hate the excessive commenting by us, we will stop…)Support me pls~
