"Don't flatter yourself. In this world, I only have two relatives, my grandfather and my sister. As for you and the Yang family, they have nothing to do with me.
Lightning strikes from the sky? If I were so naive, I should have struck you, a selfish old guy like you, to death!"
Yang Mu responded coldly.
Yang Zhiye couldn't see clearly what the other party was doing, so he felt severe pain in his knees, and with a pop, he knelt on the ground uncontrollably.
"asshole!"
Yang Zhiye was furious and wanted to get up, but his legs didn't obey the orders at all and he knelt down in front of Yang Mu.
"Let's go." Yang Mu glanced at Shang Qingdai and turned to leave.
On the way back to the hotel, Shang Qingdai asked curiously while driving:
"Yang Mu, what's going on? Is your grandfather really from the Yang family? If he was from the Yang family, how could he be reduced to picking up garbage for a living?"
Yang Mu shook his head and said he didn't know.
He simply told everything about Yang Yu's trip to Tianhai City not long ago. After he finished speaking, Shang Qingdai became even more interested:
"It seems now that your grandfather was kicked out of the Yang family for some special reason?"
"Maybe."
Seeing Yang Mu's calm expression, Shang Qingdai was surprised and said, "Don't you want to know what happened to your grandfather back then?"
"I don't want to. Everything has passed. Even my grandfather is no longer here. What's the point of exploring what happened back then now?"
Yang Mu shook his head.
If it were anyone else, they might desperately want to find out what happened back then and then establish a relationship with the Yang family, but Yang Mu had no interest in this at all.
Shang Qingdai said: "I know that you don't bother to hug the Yang family's lap, and it doesn't matter that your grandfather severed ties with the Yang family back then.
But have you ever thought that your grandfather left the provincial capital and went to Tianhai City because he was greatly wronged here? Maybe there are people here who have wronged him, and you don't want to breathe a sigh of relief for him?
"
Seeing Yang Mu looking at her, Shang Qingdai continued:
"In the past, your grandfather never told you about the Yang family, probably because he believed that you would not be able to cause trouble for the Yang family.
Therefore, he never expected you to vent your anger for him. He only hoped that you could live a safe and happy life. But now, since you have the ability, I think you should find out what happened back then."
In Yang Mu's mind, an image of his grandpa limping towards him, dragging a garbage bag, emerged when he was a child. He was thinking, how did his grandpa's leg become lame?
If he was beaten lame, then who beat him?
When he was a child, Yang Mu asked his grandfather more than once why his legs were lame.
Every time, grandpa said with a smile, "Children, don't ask too many questions. Grandpa will tell you when you grow up."
However, before he grew up, the old man left him and his sister.
Nowadays, Yang Mu has glory and wealth at his fingertips, but the old man has already gone to the west. This is a huge regret for him.
"In my memory, grandpa was kind to others and always had a smile on his face. He seemed to have never had any grudges with anyone, and he never had any resentment against the world in his heart," Yang Mu said.
Shang Qingdai said: "Maybe it's just because he wants you to see the beautiful side of the world. You should understand that the reason why a child's childhood is beautiful is often because parents and elders carry ugliness to a height that children cannot see.
"
Yang Mu was silent for a few seconds, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Is something wrong?" Guo Zheng's voice came from the other side.
"Help me investigate something."
"Why do you guys always ask me to help you investigate this and that? You don't know, you think I am here to serve you!"
Guo Zheng complained, but still said, "What's the matter?"
………
In a room filled with the smell of disinfectant, a haggard and frail old man was lying on the bed.
The old man is Yang Huan, the old head of the Yang family. He is now 97 years old. In the past few years, he has been relying on precious medicinal materials to survive.
But this way of extending one's life has its limit after all, and now the limit is not far away.
"Dad, this is what happened. That little beast Yang Mu, because of his ability, was so arrogant that he even beat me, an elder.
If I don't make him pay the price, how will I behave in the future? Our Yang family can't even manage our own people, who will take us seriously in the future?"
Yang Zhiye stood beside the bed and recounted what Yang Mu had done with an angry look on his face.
Yang Huan listened to him in silence and said, "What do you want when you come to me?"
Yang Zhiye said: "Don't the Yuan family of the ancient martial arts family in Mingzhu City still owe you a favor? The head of the Yuan family is a fourth-grade ancient martial artist. Can you ask him to come forward and deal with this kid?"
"Until now, you don't think there is anything wrong with your approach. Are you coming to me to find someone to continue to deal with him through my relationship?"
Yang Huan's tone was weak, but his eyes were as cold as an ice knife.
Yang Zhiye's heart skipped a beat and he said hurriedly: "I'm not doing this for myself, but for the Yang family! If he embarrasses me, he is bringing down the Yang family's face. I -"
"That's enough! You go down."
Yang Huan sighed, his eyes extremely disappointed.
Yang Zhiye was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue to say something, when a voice next to him sounded.
"Uncle, grandpa needs to rest. You'd better step back."
In the room, there was also standing a tall woman with a cool temperament, who looked to be in her early thirties.
Yang Huan has two sons and one daughter. This woman is his granddaughter Wei Bingyun, and she is also the only person in the entire Yang family who has a good talent in ancient martial arts.
Yang Zhiye saw that his father was already dissatisfied with him, and although he was unwilling to do so, he could only turn around and leave honestly.
When Yang Zhiye disappeared at the door, Yang Huan looked at Wei Bingyun: "Bingyun, you heard what he said just now, what do you think?"
"A congenitally strong man in his twenties who is more powerful than the fifth-level member of the Dong family is simply unbelievable! I really can't imagine how he cultivates.
Compared with him, my chances of becoming a genius in this life are close to zero, and I am just an ordinary person."
Wei Bingyun had a wry smile on her face.
"Yeah, incredible. Really incredible."
Yang Huan sighed with emotion, his eyes were complicated, and his expression became firm: "Go and find out where he is staying now. I want to see him."
Wei Bingyun was startled: "But I'm afraid he hates the Yang family now. If you go to see him now, I'm afraid-"
"I have to go see him! If not, I will never die in peace," Yang Huan said.
Wei Bingyun was stunned and nodded: "I understand!"
………
Night falls.
Guo Zheng entered Yang Mu's number but did not dial it, with hesitation on his face.
This time, Yang Mu asked him to investigate the matter. After investigating, he found that it actually involved Nantianmen, so it didn't take long for him to figure out the ins and outs.
He thought for a moment and dialed another number.
Not long after, the voice of Xiang Yuan, Lord of Nantian, came from the other end of the phone.
"What's up?"
"Sir, didn't you say that if there is any special situation at Yang Mu's side, you should be notified? He asked me to investigate matters about his grandfather today, and this actually involves..."
Xiang Yuan listened patiently. When Guo Zheng finished speaking, he slowly said: "You think he can't offend the other party, so you are hesitating whether to tell the truth to him?"
"Sir, what do you mean?" Guo Zhengdao.
Xiang Yuan asked back: "Do you think he will never know the truth if you don't tell him? Since he wants to know the answer to this matter, you can't hide it from the beginning."
Guo Zheng sighed: "I understand. It's just that that guy is a talent, I'm just worried-"
Xiang Yuan said calmly: "I know what you are worried about, but you must understand that the growth path of any ancient martial arts master is full of thorns, and must be full of thorns!
He can either overcome obstacles and move forward, or he can lose sight of everyone and die prematurely. Whether he wants to continue moving forward or stop is up to him to choose, and we will see."
After a while, he hung up the phone. Guo Zheng was still surprised. His expectations for that boy were too high. He actually thought that he might become a third-grade ancient martial arts master in the future?
You must know that there is a natural chasm between the fourth grade and the third grade. From ancient times to the present, only the rare monsters can cross it.
"No, it's not so much that you are optimistic that he can become an ancient martial arts master. It's better to say that you just think there is a glimmer of possibility in him. However, the greater possibility is that he will never be able to take that step in his life."
Guo Zheng shook his head to stop his random thoughts, and then dialed Yang Mu's number.
