Chapter 54 - Is it the truth?

"You shouldn't ask me about this, but rather the person who left him behind."

"He was just a baby at the time, and the Huang family's assets became a coveted prize in everyone's eyes. All the major forces in Silver Moon City wanted a piece of the pie."

"Then someone stepped forward, swearing to protect the Huang family to the death. After several bloody battles, the forces in Silver Moon City finally gave up on the Huang family."

"That person was the City Lord, right?"

"That's right. He saved the Huang family and temporarily managed their assets. The young master of the Huang family also became his adopted son."

"Later, he relied on the Huang family's assets to smoothly ascend to the position of City Lord."

"Although some suspected that the Huang family's misfortune was related to him, because as things developed, he turned out to be the biggest beneficiary. But that's just rumor, and no one pursued the matter."

"A few years later, the boy was ambushed. People speculated that the City Lord wanted to seize the Huang family's assets."

"Later, the City Lord used spiritual medicine and divine doctors, sparing no effort to save him, which salvaged a lot of his reputation. Unfortunately, the boy became a fool."

"I didn't expect his background to be so complicated."

"Now you know why I don't want you to get involved with him?"

"I don't know. Such a pitiful person, shouldn't a daughter care for him more?"

"Care for your head! He's awake now. Do you know how dangerous his situation is?"

"The Huang family's assets were only temporarily managed by the City Lord and weren't renamed."

"Once he comes of age, these assets might fall under his control. Do you think he has the ability to manage such a large estate?"

"Do you think he can live to take over these assets?"

"It seems difficult. Even if he has the ability to manage, whether he can take over is a real question. There must be many who covet him."

"Not just that. Even if he doesn't take over, if the Huang and Wu families merge."

"Who will be the head of the family in the future?"

"The Wu family doesn't have just one son. The eldest went to the immortal family, and there's still the second and third sons."

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

"And he's just an adopted son. Can others willingly hand over the assets to him?"

"It seems like many people have their eyes on him."

"Exactly, that's why I don't want you to get involved with him. He's constantly living in danger."

"This danger includes assassination, ambush, provocation, poisoning. Those who want to harm him are not low-level."

"Even at your Martial King level, it's hard to escape their clutches."

"No, he's so dangerous, I have to go tell him." With that, Tang Xin was about to rush out.

"Stop!"

"Father, I can't just watch and do nothing."

"What do you know? Let me ask you, are you two really in love?"

"Uh, Father, that's a strange question."

"Strange, my foot! Don't think I can't see through your little tricks. Tell me, how much did you pay?"

"Five hundred taels," Tang Xin admitted generously.

"You, you, you spendthrift! You really went all out to deal with your father."

"It was you who forced me." Tang Xin shouted back in anger.

"Do you think he's stupid?"

"Not stupid, very smart."

"Good, at least you can see he's not stupid. Why did he go to the Martial Arts Academy as soon as he recovered?"

"Maybe he likes martial arts."

"Like martial arts, my foot! He must know he's in danger, so he hid in the Martial Arts Academy."

"In the City Lord's mansion, there are plenty of people who want to harm him."

"It seems he's quite smart. Oh no, my daughter is in love."

Father Tang scratched his head in frustration.

"He might not know his own background. Don't tell him about this, or it won't just be him in trouble; our Tang family might also be implicated."

"The culprit behind the events of that year is unknown, but being targeted by that person is definitely not a good thing."

"Father won't stop you. His matters will surely be resolved one day. If he truly escapes danger, I won't oppose you being with him."

"Father, your approval is useless. He's just a sweet-talker, not interested in me."

"What? That little brat dares to look down on my daughter."

"He already has two lovers."

"What! So young and already has two? Daughter, this man is a two-timer. Sooner or later, he'll meet a bad end. You should give up."

"Father, those two lovers are his personal maids. They have been by his side even when he was a fool. He can't let them down."

"Oh! So that's how it is. Then you be the main wife, and the two maids can be concubines."

"Father, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Oh! Right, I just told you to stay away from him, and now I'm all confused."

"We'll talk about this later. Go back and give him the money, and keep your distance from him."

"Who's paying for the money?"

"Fine, you're tough! How did I raise such a spendthrift daughter?" Father Tang threw down a silver note in exasperation and left.

Not bad, the silver note was for a thousand taels. It seems Father understands the principle of raising a daughter with wealth.

Keeping a distance is a pipe dream. This guy is a question expert, always asking questions and seeking advice.

She had her own plans. Although she liked this guy a bit, it hadn't reached the level of emotional involvement, just a friend.

A friend now facing danger, she could strategically hint to him.

This way, it met her father's requirements and allowed her to help him secretly.

She knew her father well. He would definitely send someone to the academy to monitor her tomorrow.

If her father found out she was still in contact with Huang Ye, he would definitely ground her.

Huang Ye was also deep in thought on his way back, having revealed his identity as the City Lord's third young master.

Father Tang immediately issued an eviction order. He must know something about his situation.

Otherwise, his attitude wouldn't have changed so suddenly. It seemed the original owner's past was quite complex.

Unfortunately, the original owner's memories hadn't returned yet.

That mass of memories was still a chaotic mess, lurking alone in a dark corner of his mind.

The original owner's memories should know something. At ten years old, he should have understood some things.

It must not have been anything good. He probably saw the culprit, so the memory sealed itself away in a corner.

Should I avenge you or not? It's really a headache.

If the memories awaken at a critical moment in cultivation, sending out messages of resentment and blaming him for avoiding responsibility, it could greatly affect his cultivation.

The initial plan was to flee as the best strategy, but he stayed for Qing'er and Yue'er, at least to provide them with a stable environment.

As the three of them progressed in their cultivation, he began to worry about the original owner's resentment.

He decided to watch for opportunities. If there was a chance, he would avenge him. If he encountered someone powerful, and he couldn't win, there was nothing he could do.

My dear City Lord, please don't be one of the enemies. I'm not yet arrogant enough to confront you.

I must focus on learning. I thought I wouldn't learn much at the Martial Arts Academy, and finding a cultivation technique would be a blessing.

Now it seems there's a lot to learn, and even as a cultivator, I find these things useful.

I need to work harder. The toughness of my body has already increased a level.

When I hit a tree, I no longer bleed, and even bruises have lightened. I need to increase the impact force.

When I can become a human cannonball, then I'll have passed.
