In Pu Ban City, in a quiet valley...
Countless golden osmanthus blossomed, emitting a delicate fragrance. A few silver-white creeks meandered through the valley. Hundreds of exquisite wooden houses dotted the sides of the creeks. There were maids using clay pots to fetch water from the creeks. Dozens of huge war tigers curled up under the boulders beside the creeks, snoring like cats.
This was the headquarters of the Huaxu Family in Pu Ban City. Emperor Fuxi was from the Huaxu Family, and the Huaxu Family enjoyed a high status among the humankind. Therefore, this valley was naturally special, and no outsider could get in.
Huaxu Chen, who had just retreated from Chi Ban Mountain, rushed into the valley angrily. Along the path paved with flagstones, he came to a wooden building by the end of the valley. He kicked the thick wooden door open and broke into the building with big steps.
Beside the fire pit, two middle-aged men raised their heads and glanced at Huaxu Chen, then shook their heads and sighed.
"Where's Huaxu Lie?" Huaxu Chen yelled at the two men, who were elders of the Huaxu Family and were close to him, "How dare he! Where's Si Wen Ming? Where's Ji Hao? Don't you have any news from Huaxu Lie and the other kids? "
"Sit!" One of the middle-aged men smiled bitterly and waved his hand to Huaxu Chen.
"Sit my a * s! Do you think I'll just sit here and drink my intestines without doing anything? " Huaxu Chen stomped his foot against the ground and generated a thunderous thud. Countless cyan spell symbols sparkled on the wooden floor, along with strands of electric bolts. The defensive power of the wooden building was fully activated, but still, Huaxu Chen left a half-foot-deep footprint on the floor.
A creaking noise could be heard from the wooden building, as a pillar was broken by Huaxu Chen.
"What's the point of making a fuss?" Looking at Huaxu Chen, who had a bad temper, Huaxu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "This is Emperor Xun's order... I know you're angry, but..."
"But what? You're doing nothing but sitting here...? " Huaxu Chen put his mouth to the fire pit, picked up the pot, and drank up the boiling tea in it. Letting out a heavy breath, Huaxu Chen threw the clay pot into the fire pit, gritted his teeth, and took two circles around the fire pit, then sat down heavily on the ground.
"What can we do? Kill Emperor Xun? " Sitting in front of Huaxu Chen, Huaxu Yang sighed slightly and said, "We all know that something is wrong with Emperor Shun... But, all large families and clans support Emperor Xun. Our words don't carry much weight. We can't do anything."
"Emperor Shun is in trouble, so he should..." Huaxu Chen opened his mouth and growled. But then, he opened his mouth, but failed to say a word.
Emperor Shun was in trouble, but what could they do? Nothing like this had ever happened before. Everyone knew that something was wrong with Emperor Shun, but what exactly happened to him? Or, with a darker mind, he wondered if there was truly something wrong with Emperor Shun.
Huaxu Chen quivered.
Huaxu Chen and Huaxu Yang glanced at Huaxu Chen, then sighed together. Huaxu Chen clapped his hands. A maid walked in and put a pot of water beside the fire pit. They separated the tea cakes, crushed the tea leaves, and threw them into the pot. Then, they poured some water into the pot and put it on the fire pit to boil. A while later, a strong aroma of tea spread in the room.
"We all support Si Wen Ming, but something big has happened. He's not here. What can we do?" Said Huaxu Chen with a deep voice, "Chen, the biggest problem now is that all the young people from our families and clans support Si Wen Ming, but the leaders and elders of those large families and clans support Emperor Xun!"
Huaxu Chen opened his mouth, seeming to say something. But after pondering for a while, he failed to say a word.
"Emperor Xun promised great benefits to those large families and clans. Suiren Family, Fuxi Family, You Xiong Family, Shennong Family... The leaders and elders of those large families and clans are all satisfied with Emperor Xun." Said Huaxu Yang helplessly, "With their support, even if something happens to Emperor Shun, Emperor Xun will ascend to the throne through a proper abdication ceremony. Then, Emperor Xun... will be the human emperor."
"But, Emperor Xun has done whatever he wants. He's betraying the entire humankind!" Huaxu Chen finally found a topic to talk about.
"He's the human emperor. He has the right to do whatever he wants..." Huaxu Chen rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Is he betraying the humankind? He told the world that the humankind and Yu Dynasty should become brothers, and that he is seeking eternal peace for the humankind. "
"We know that Emperor Xun has been betraying the humankind these days, but no one in the world knows that." Huaxu Yang said with a bitter smile, "The leaders and elders of those large families and clans won't say that Emperor Xun is betraying the humankind. They will only applaud Emperor Xun's orders."
"Applaud Emperor Xun?" Huaxu Chen stared at Huaxu Yang in shock, "He gave the humankind to the non-humankind, and the leaders of those large families applaud him?"
"Do you think that those mines, those pastures, those fertile lands were all given to the non-humankind?" Huaxu Yang raised two fingers and said, "Based on what we've heard these days, the non-humankind has only taken twenty percent of those properties... The other eighty percent belongs to the large families and clans."
"Emperor Xun divided some properties accumulated by the alliance of human clans in the past few years to the non-humankind and the large families and clans." Huaxu Chen gave a bitter smile and said, "Therefore, the large families and clans will only say that he's good. If the leaders of the large families and clans say that he's good, the people in the world will say that he's good! Emperor Xun is a very, very good human emperor! "
"If anything goes wrong, those non-humankind beings have already settled in the central area of Pu Ban City. If anything goes wrong..." Huaxu Chen growled.
"If anything goes wrong, our large families and clans will suffer no harm... If anything goes wrong, we just need to organize those small clans to fight back with our lives... Our large families and clans will benefit the most. As long as the interests of our large families and clans remain unharmed... No matter how many human beings are killed or wounded..." Huaxu Chen and Huaxu Yang shook their heads and laughed bitterly. Their smiles were twisted and twisted.
"They don't hesitate to harm the entire humankind, but only care about their own interests!" Huaxu Chen gritted his teeth, pointed at Chi Ban Mountain in the north, and said, "In all these years, so many brave warriors died in Chi Ban Mountain, but now..."
Before Huaxu Chen finished, he vomited a mouthful of blood on the ground.
Similar scenes and conversations happened in Pu Ban City and many other places in Midland. Like Huaxu Chen, countless young human beings who were worried about the future of the humankind cursed and vomited blood, while leaders and elders from large families and clans raised their glasses and threw banquets, proudly celebrating the fact that they had taken another large piece of meat from the humankind.
Unnoticeably, the hatred rose within the humankind, and the hearts of the humankind, which were united before, were suddenly torn apart.
