"How did your father... get so angry that he vomited blood?" Qin Xiang asked after a long silence.
Lan Yufeng tried his best to control his emotions and said slowly: "Without the fifth to seventh levels of the Imperial Shield's formulas, the overall strength of the Lan clan has greatly declined. The reason for the decline is because of the loss of the following formulas.
As a result, the disciples in the clan who practiced the Emperor's Shield were greatly affected in the process of cultivation. In the more than 20 years since his father left, no one in the clan has cultivated to the fourth level.
"The cultivation of Huangji Shield emphasizes the courage to enterprising mentality. They lost this mentality during cultivation. This can only be attributed to their weak will and impure hearts. However, they put all the responsibilities on
It came to my grandfather and my father, saying that our whole family was a disaster star, my grandfather was a disaster star, my father was a disaster star, and even I, who my father brought back, was a disaster star.
"My father took me back to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan. Not only was I scolded and scorned by the clan, but he also refused to allow me to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan. They said that I was such a disaster star and should not return to the clan at all. Returning to the clan was just a waste of time.
It will bring disaster to the clan.
"For my mother's instructions, my father endured for half a year and tried to build a good relationship with the people in the clan, but no one paid attention to him, and he was still treated with indifference and ridicule. When I was seven and a half years old, something happened in the clan
A strange thing happened. A valuable item placed in the ancestral hall disappeared mysteriously. That item had extraordinary significance to the Lan clan, and my father happened to be in the clan, so everyone thought that my father had stolen it.
This item will burn us, father and son, alive.
"At that time, my father was so furious that he couldn't explain himself. In addition, he vomited blood and died on the spot after suffering humiliation for more than 20 years. What's funny is that at that time, a child from the clan appeared there with that thing. I saw,
The moment my father died, his heart was filled with helplessness and anger.
"The elders in the clan knew that they had wronged my father, so they let us go, but no one paid attention to us. My father's body was placed there. I was seven and a half years old at the time, and the humiliation I suffered in the clan for half a year also made me
I have become more sensible. I hugged my father's body and my heart was filled with grief and anger, but I did not shed a single tear.
"For three days and three nights, I just held my father's cold body in my arms without saying a word or a sound. In silence, besides anger, I felt hesitant and didn't know where to go. Later, I still had a relationship closer to my father.
My aunt couldn't bear it anymore, so she helped me collect my father's body and take it to the back mountain for burial.
"I stayed in front of my father's grave for three years. For three years, I didn't say a word to anyone. Although I was still very young at the time, after my father died, I suddenly understood a lot of things. The reason why my father didn't
The reason why he resisted was because he didn't have enough ability, nor did he have any social status. Those blames for missing the formula behind the Emperor's Shield were just excuses.
"Because I know that at that time, the Lan family had already entered the society. With the wealth accumulated over more than a hundred years, the Lan family had also made a name for itself in the society. There was a family business, the Lan Group, and some people became famous.
With larger officials and the Lan family's relatively strong military force, the Lan family has a certain influence in society.
"The Lan family has strict property distribution methods. According to the regulations, my clan also has the right to distribute. Therefore, when the Lan Group was established, this part of the shares was also distributed there, but they did not tell my father, nor did they.
He didn't tell me that the dividends from those shares have always been owned by several branches of the family.
"My aunt told me this secretly, but she told me not to fight unless I have enough ability. My aunt is a woman, and the women of the Lan family have a very low status in the clan and have no say. Apart from taking care of me a little, my aunt
Other than that, nothing else could help me.
"I figured something out, and when I was observing my filial piety, I began to practice the Emperor's Shield formula that my father left for me. Although it only had two levels, I knew that it was my only chance to become stronger.
"During the three years of keeping my filial piety, some of the clan members who were older than me often bullied me. At first, I tolerated it and just practiced more diligently. Two years later, I reached the first level and had the strength of a martial arts student.
, of course, the reason why I can progress so quickly is because my father started teaching me the basics of Huangji Shield as early as when I was seven years old.
"After practicing at the first level, the older kids in the clan who were two or three years older than me were no match for me, so they used their numbers to deal with me. I was outnumbered and was often beaten with bruises and bruises on my face, but I
I never uttered a word or cried out in pain.
"However, I practiced hard day and night. After two and a half years, hey, even if there were three or five of them, they were no longer my match, and they were severely punished by me several times. These kids even shamelessly came to their home.
They spoke ill of me in front of all the adults, saying that I was barbaric and cruel, and would fight with the children of my tribe when I saw them.
"Although the adults in the clan knew that their children were lying, they still protected them. Several adults came to threaten me, and three people even slapped me and hit me, but I endured it. They wanted to kill me.
I endured being expelled from the family. It was not until the three-year period of mourning was over that I decided to leave the family and start a wandering life. There, they warned me not to consider myself a descendant of the Lan family.
They won't recognize me.
"When I left the family, I only had sixty yuan that my aunt gave me. However, within two days after I came out, I was deceived by a liar. From then on, I lived a wandering life like a beggar.
In the cruel society, I endured endless sufferings, and finally moved to Fengjing and became a gangster. Because I never gave up the practice of Huangji Shield, I managed to make a name for myself in the underworld.
"When I was seventeen years old, I officially joined the Zhongliu Association. With my strength and the cruel experiences of those years, I quickly emerged as a member of the Zhongliu Association and became the backbone of the Zhongliu Association. At the age of twenty-four, I officially joined the Zhongliu Association.
Become the boss of Zhongliu Club."
After listening to Lan Yufeng's experience, Qin Xiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Lan Yufeng's ups and downs could almost be written into a book. Relatively speaking, although Qin Xiang didn't know who his parents were, let alone met them.
, life has been very difficult since childhood, but I have never experienced such pain as Lan Yufeng.
A child whose mother was no longer around after he was born lost his father when he was seven and a half years old. He suffered discrimination and humiliation. At the age of less than eleven, he began a wandering life, surviving in the cracks but never giving up.
Despite his desire for power, he never gave up on training. Step by step, he succeeded and became the leader of the Zhongliu Club, one of the three major gangs in Fengjing.
Perhaps, others only see his superficial glory, but how many people know that behind his glory, he has suffered many hardships and sufferings that are unbearable for ordinary people?
"Yu Feng, after listening to your experience, I feel that compared to you, I am many times better off." Qin Xiang sighed softly.
"Brother, in fact, I have never mentioned these things to others. I know that in this society of the jungle, no one will pity you. Most people like to compare your misfortune with their happiness.
They will feel very happy when they see you unhappy. Even if there are some compassionate people who pity you, what can they do to help you? Can they change your current situation?
"So, I have always been obsessed with a belief. Only by making myself stronger can I be recognized by others. This is how I have come over the years. Fortunately, I have taken it step by step and finally achieved success.
I have achieved some achievements." Lan Yufeng sighed softly.
"Yes, people have to rely on themselves in the end. This most basic belief must be adhered to." Qin Xiang nodded, glanced at Lan Yufeng, and asked: "Yu Feng, have you ever thought about it?
Will you return to the family one day?"
"Family? Humph, they no longer exist in my eyes." Lan Yufeng's face showed anger again, and he said coldly: "My biggest wish now is to move my father's grave out. I don't want to
Let my father be bullied by them during his lifetime, and be spurned by them after his death."
Qin Xiang saw that there was actually a flash of pain in Lan Yufeng's eyes. No matter what, the blood of the Lan family was always flowing in his body. His mother's entrustment and his father's efforts finally changed.
The clouds disappeared, and deep in his heart, apart from the pain and anger, there was probably even more unbearable feeling.
"Yu Feng, with your current status, can't you even move your father's grave?" This is what Qin Xiang finds strange.
"Lan's Group has developed for decades and is now considered a behemoth. But in terms of wealth, I'm not too bad. As the leader of a middle-class society, I have to lead people to move my father's grave.
It's not impossible. It's just that I don't want to use the power of Zhongliuhui, I want to rely entirely on my own strength to complete this matter." Lan Yufeng said firmly.
"As for the measure of strength, one is the extent of wealth, and the other is the strength of force. In terms of personal financial strength, I currently have no way to compare with my family; in terms of force, I have only cultivated the Emperor's Shield to the third level.
On the second floor, although there are not many people in the family who have cultivated to the fourth level, there are many people on the third level. With my current personal strength, I simply cannot enter Lanjiazhuang." Seeing Qin Xiang's confusion, Lan Yufeng
He explained again.
"Well, it turns out that you have only cultivated the Emperor's Shield to the second level. No wonder you have stayed at the peak master level." Qin Xiang nodded and said lightly.
"There is no way around this. Based on my understanding of the Emperor's Shield, if there is a formula behind it, I think I will be able to make great progress in a short period of time. It will not be difficult to break through the Grandmaster." Lan Yu
Feng sighed: "Of course, it's impossible for them to give me the secrets to practice the third and fourth levels. So, I can only compete with them in terms of wealth. I will follow my elder brother this time. If it really works out, I believe
, In less than three to five years, I will have wealth that will make them look at me, and then they will only be jealous of me."
At this point, the flames in Lan Yufeng's eyes burned again, and he said slowly: "I want to see their expressions looking up to me. What I need is a goal that they can never reach, a goal that they can only look up to!
"
Inferiority, self-improvement, and endless struggle. In the end, what you pursue is just the look of your tribe looking up to you!
Qin Xiang only felt a sour taste in her heart.
"Yu Feng, if I could make you stronger and stronger than any of them, what would your mentality be like?" Qin Xiang stared at him and said slowly.
"I will follow my brother to the death. I have not thought of anything else for the time being." Lan Yufeng said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll give you this brother." Qin Xiang nodded, and the next moment, there was a yellowing book in his hand, he slowly placed it in front of Lan Yufeng, and said slowly: "
Wherever you fall, you have to get up. This book is my gift to you as a brother."
Lan Yufeng looked down and his pupils froze instantly!
(ps: I was dozing off again today, and it took me three hours to type a chapter. I decided to go to bed early and get up early in the morning to type. Maybe this would be more efficient. Well, let’s give it a try.)
