Chung Hua's eldest brother was Genyuan Zhengqi, who was over three hundred years old this year.
Ever since he broke through to Yuanying, Genyuan Zhengqi had been given a position in the family as a steward. He was considered to have officially stepped into the core management of the Xuan Yuan family.
It was important to note that any child with the blood of one of the three major families in their veins, regardless of whether they were from the main family or the side family, had to work hard to gain the family's approval.
For anyone in the family, status had to be fought for.
Since Genyuan Zhengqi was able to step into Yuanying at the age of three hundred, at this rate, as long as nothing too big happened in the future, he would definitely have the opportunity to successfully inherit Genryo Genryo's legacy and become one of the eight elders.
What were the eight elders?
They were second only to one person and above everyone else.
Seeing that his eldest son was so promising, Genryo Genryo naturally hoped that his youngest son could be as outstanding as his eldest son.
Thus, after Chung Hua was born, Genryo Genryo handed over the task of educating him to Genyuan Zhengqi.
And this …
This was the beginning of Chung Hua's tragedy.
Genyuan Zhengqi didn't seem to like this little brother of his.
After all, they weren't born from the same mother.
When Chung Hua was still an infant, Genyuan Zhengqi used the excuse of cleansing his meridians to soak Chung Hua in all sorts of strange potions. He even called it a medicinal bath.
Zhang had secretly investigated this so-called medicinal bath. Based on the dregs of the medicine left behind, she could roughly confirm that …
The medicine inside was poisonous.
Because of this, Zhang didn't hesitate to have a big argument with Genyuan Zhengqi.
She always felt that Chung Hua's half-brother had ulterior motives. He might want to murder Chung Hua, so she didn't want Genyuan Zhengqi to get close to Chung Hua.
Zhang originally wanted to use this opportunity to completely drive Genyuan Zhengqi away from Chung Hua.
Who would have thought that when Genryo Genryo heard about this, he would only ask Genyuan Zhengqi to show her the ancient book that recorded the formula of the medicinal bath, and then mercilessly scolded her.
"This ancient book was painstakingly obtained by Zhengqi from the Jade Clear Cave Heaven. I have already checked it beforehand. The herbs used in the book seem to be poisonous, but in fact, the principle of using poison to fight poison is used. Therefore, the effect of the medicine is better than ordinary herbs!"
"Zhengqi is my child, and so is Chung Hua. Since they are brothers, why would Zhengqi hurt Chung Hua for no reason?"
"I think you are measuring the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain!"
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Chung Hua's talent is slightly better than Zhengqi's. If he ends up with nothing in the future …"
"Don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between husband and wife!"
Genryo Genryo was one of the eight elders in the family, and also the head of the family. His words naturally carried a lot of weight.
After this, Zhang lost the right to raise Chung Hua.
Mother and son could only see each other on certain days. For the rest of the time, Chung Hua could only bitterly endure all kinds of inhumane torture in Genyuan Zhengqi.
Of course, Xuanyuan Zhengqi would never torture Chonghua himself. He would only be like a god who was high up in the sky. He would give his younger brother all kinds of death-seeking missions, and he would call it training.
Fortunately, no matter how difficult these experiences were, Chonghua still managed to pull through in the end …
… …
As for the love and hate entanglement between Chung Hua and his older brother, I won't go into too much detail here.
Let's get back to the main story first.
Today was Zhang's birthday, which was also her 100th birthday.
A hundred years old.
No matter how long a cultivator lived, how many hundred years could they live in their lifetime?
What's more, for someone like Zhang who wasn't very talented, there was basically no hope of Yuanying in this lifetime.
If it had been someone else, they would have definitely thrown a big party when their birthday was coming to an end.
Genryo Genryo originally planned to do this as well.
After all, he was one of the eight elders of the Xuan Yuan family. Whenever there was a happy occasion in the family, even the head of the family would personally come to congratulate him.
But it was a pity …
Ever since Zhang found out that Chung Hua had entered the Tian Shu ruins, she shut herself in her room and refused to see anyone.
Genryo Genryo originally wanted to take advantage of her birthday to comfort her, but he didn't expect that Zhang would mercilessly block him outside the room.
"Now that Hua 'er's life is uncertain, as his mother, I really don't have the leisure to do that. Please don't blame me …"
Genryo Genryo didn't force his way in, nor did he use his divine sense to probe the situation in the room. This was because he heard a trace of despair in Zhang's voice.
That's right.
Now that Chung Hua's life was uncertain, how could Zhang still smile?
Ever since the day Chen Xi wreaked havoc in the Jade Clear Grotto-Heaven, everyone had a new understanding of the Tian Shu ruins.
Although the truth wasn't as mysterious as the legends, at least everyone knew that there was at least one Supreme-Being living in there.
What's more, this Supreme-Being could even fight the four Perfected Masters of the Jade Clear Grotto-Heaven alone.
Then, with his methods, could it be that he couldn't block the Heart Flame Lamp's senses?
Therefore, even if Chung Hua's Heart Flame Lamp hadn't been extinguished, Genryo Genryo found it very hard to believe that Chung Hua was still alive in this world …
"Sigh."
After a deep sigh, Genryo Genryo could only silently turn around and leave.
In order to not let anyone disturb Zhang, Genryo Genryo didn't forget to remind the servants not to let anyone take half a step into the courtyard after leaving.
Now, he could only hope that Zhang could walk out of this shadow as soon as possible.
After all, Genryo Genryo had lived for several hundred years and was already used to seeing life and death. Therefore, when he learned that Chung Hua might never come back, he didn't appear too sad or emotional.
It was impossible to say that he wasn't sad.
But, what was the use of being sad?
As an immortal cultivator, Genryo Genryo had experienced too many life-and-death separations in his life. That old heart of his had long been numb.
But it was precisely because his heart had long been numb that Genryo Genryo didn't know at all …
This woman who had locked herself in her room all day because of the loss of her son, in such a state of despair, what terrible things would she do …
…
In a dim room.
Zhang sat quietly by the bed alone, holding an old ragdoll in her hand.
This ragdoll was personally sewn for Chung Hua. It was also Chung Hua's favorite toy when he was young.
Perhaps she was thinking of him when she saw it.
Zhang gently stroked the ragdoll with her fingers as she softly muttered, "Hua 'er, don't worry …"
"Mother has already reached an agreement with the Holy Church …"
"Very soon, they will let Big Brother accompany you to the Tianshu ruins …"
Her voice was very soft, but the expression on her face was very strange.
Sometimes she chuckled, sometimes she was sad.
As if she was possessed, it gave people a horrifying and strange feeling …
