Time flowed like water. After a few days, Yang Xuan was finally going to welcome his sixteenth birthday. From then on, he was no longer a young boy, but an adult.
Originally, the Yang Family's Grand Elder's coming of age ceremony was going to be the grandest event in Ataraxia City. Yang Qingshan was prepared to go all out and invite guests to hold this event with the highest standards.
However, Yang Xuan didn't agree. He only wanted to quietly accompany his mother on his sixteenth birthday.
Yang Xuan understood that one day, he would leave this place, the Ataraxia City that he had stayed in for sixteen years. Therefore, he wanted to properly accompany his mother before he left.
Yang Qingshan didn't dare to disobey Yang Xuan's orders, so he gave up.
Therefore, without any disturbances, Yang Xuan welcomed his sixteenth birthday on a peaceful day.
"Father, mother!" Yang Xuan respectfully knelt down slowly in front of Mrs. Qian. He solemnly kowtowed three times and said, "Xuan 'er is an adult!"
Mrs. Qian gently looked at Yang Xuan. His eyes flashed with excitement and nostalgia. She sat on the chair and hugged the memorial tablet with trembling hands.
She couldn't help but call out in her heart, "Qingtian, do you see? Our child has grown up. Xuan 'er has grown up! Qingtian … "
Her eyes were filled with endless nostalgia. Sometimes it was gratifying, sometimes it was sad, as if she was immersed in her memories.
"Mother!" Yang Xuan looked at Mrs. Qian. His eyes were also filled with tears. Scenes from his childhood flashed before his eyes, making him feel extremely emotional.
Everything was in the past. Everything had become a cloud of the past. From today onwards, he, Yang Xuan, would never yield to anyone. He would never let his mother suffer any grievances.
"Xuan 'er, you have finally grown up! Mother can die in peace! "Mrs. Qian choked and cried tears of joy.
Yang Xuan panicked and said, "Mother, what nonsense are you saying? Mother will definitely live forever!"
Qian Shi gently patted Yang Xuan's head and helped him up, saying, "Silly child, there is no such thing as immortality. Mother is already satisfied to be able to watch you grow into an adult and see you have such great prospects!"
Yang Xuan's eyes revealed a resolute expression as he said, "Mother, I won't let you leave me! Mother, don't worry. Even if I have to travel all over the world, I will find the elixir of immortality for Mother. I want Mother to accompany me forever! "
Qian Shi smiled but didn't say anything. She only treated Yang Xuan's words as childish words. There was no such thing as an everlasting medicine in this world. People would eventually die!
However, what she didn't expect was that in the future, Yang Xuan would really travel the world and even turn the world upside down in order to find the immortal medicine for her!
The mother and son sat quietly and talked. They were quiet and happy.
On his sixteenth birthday, Yang Xuan accompanied his mother for an entire day and didn't leave.
Under Yang Qingshan's arrangements, no one dared to disturb them. Everyone knew how important this day was to Yang Xuan, and how important it was to the Qian family.
Just like that, Yang Xuan finally turned sixteen. He had become an adult!
After the coming of age ceremony, Yang Xuan's life returned to peace. He prepared to leave the Yang Family after a period of time and travel. However, he didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear and disrupt his plans.
Yang Qingshi had returned.
… …
Under the encirclement of countless Yang Family disciples, more than a dozen martial artists dressed in various colors stood quietly in the courtyard, exuding a strong aura. They sneered and looked coldly at Yang Qingshi and several elders. From time to time, they would snort disdainfully.
And in front of them, a man dressed in black had his hands behind his back. He had a cold expression as he stared at Yang Qingshi.
When Yang Xuan arrived at the main entrance of the Yang Family, this was the scene he saw. He was standing behind the crowd, so no one noticed his arrival.
Only the few disciples beside him saw Yang Xuan. They were shocked and wanted to greet him, but they were interrupted by Yang Xuan, who signaled them to keep quiet.
At this moment, Yang Qingshi and the man stood opposite each other, glaring at each other.
"Yang Qingshi, you still have the face to come back?" Yang Qingshan shouted coldly.
"Hahahaha! What a joke. My surname is Yang, and I'm a member of the Yang Family. Why can't I come back? "The man in black, Yang Qingshi, laughed loudly.
Yang Qingshan said, "Back then, you betrayed the Yang Family, and your name has been removed. You're no longer a member of the Yang Family! How dare you call yourself a member of the Yang Family? "
Yang Qingshi's eyes flashed with viciousness as he said, "Hmph, that old thing is unfair. I betrayed the family because of him. What's wrong with that?"
Yang Qingshan said angrily, "Shut up! No matter what, he's still your father! Even if you did something wrong, you shouldn't have attacked him and injured him! "
Yang Qingshi's face turned ashen, and he sneered, "Why should he pass the Patriarch's position to you? At that time, in terms of martial arts, you couldn't beat me! In terms of talent, I'm far above you! In terms of strategy, I'm much better than you! My good little brother, tell me, why should he pass the Patriarch's position to you? Tell me! "
Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know that this Yang Qingshi was Yang Qingshan's elder brother.
Yang Qingshan said, "In terms of talent and martial arts, you're indeed above me. But father said long ago that you're eager for quick success and have a vicious heart. If the Yang Family was handed over to you, sooner or later, it would lead to the destruction of the family. That's why he passed the Patriarch's position to me. I didn't expect you to be so vicious. When father wasn't paying attention, you actually attacked him and injured him! Do you know that he was heartbroken even when he died? What face do you have to call me little brother? What face do you have to return to my Yang Family? "
Yang Qingshi's scar was exposed. His face turned ashen.
Yang Qingshan recalled the events of that day and became even more furious. He said loudly, "You injured father and betrayed the family. Do you know how heartbroken father was? Do you know?"
Yang Qingshi suddenly shouted, "I don't know! I only know that he was biased! He never cared about me. Since we were young, he only liked you! He gave all the good things to you. What about me? I got nothing. In the end, he even passed the Patriarch's position to you! "
Yang Qingshan became more and more agitated as he spoke. His voice became louder and louder.
"From then on, I didn't recognize him as my father anymore. I don't have a father like him!"
Yang Qingshan said angrily, "But he's your father after all! Do you know how much he expected of you? He never expected me to inherit the Patriarch's position. Since we were young, he deliberately ignored you. He hoped that you could grow up independently. He was afraid that you'd lose your ambition. How many times had he watched you sweat while practicing martial arts in the middle of the night, standing there for an entire night? How many times had he secretly placed the most suitable martial arts manual in the most conspicuous place of the library, watching you practice with it?! Do you know all these? Tell me, are you worthy of your father? "
Yang Qingshi laughed wildly and said, "I don't know. I only know that he gave you the things that originally belonged to me. He gave them all to you! He's not fair! "
Yang Qingshan was furious, "You're still so stubborn. Do you know how many disciples died under your fists when you betrayed the family and fought? You'll always be the sinner of the Yang Family! "
Yang Qingshi sneered, "Hmph, they can't blame me. I wanted to leave, but they wanted me to stay. Of course, I had to kill my way out. If you want to blame someone, blame that old thing for passing the Patriarch's position to you and not me! "
Yang Qingshan's face was full of disappointment. He slowly shook his head and said, "Big brother, after so many years, I thought you've thought it through and realized your mistakes. But I was wrong! You didn't. You've gone mad! You've gone mad, do you know that? "
Yang Qingshi laughed loudly, "I'm not mad. I'm very clear-headed. Little brother, do you know why I came back today? "
Yang Qingshan looked at the people behind Yang Qingshi and his heart sank, "Big brother, I'll give you one last advice. Go, don't come back!"
"What a joke!" Yang Qingshi sneered, "I came back today to take back everything that belongs to me. If you obediently give up the Patriarch's position, I'll spare your life. Otherwise, you'll die!"
Yang Qingshan shook his head and said with disappointment, "Do you know? You're digging your own grave! "
Yang Qingshi said disdainfully, "Digging my own grave? Hmph, you and I are both at the peak of Stage Ten, and there are two experts behind me who are both Stage Ten Internal Strength experts. Their strength is much higher than yours. Destroying you is just a joke. I think you're the ones who are stubbornly resisting! "
Yang Qingshan stopped talking and only shook his head. Sorrow flashed in his eyes. After a while, he suddenly said, "The inner core that Qingshu brought back, it was you who took it, right?"
A trace of regret flashed across Yang Qingshi's face, and he said, "Yes, it was me. Unfortunately, the refining of the Innate Golden Core failed, and it turned into ashes!"
Yang Qingshan looked at his face and knew that he was telling the truth. His heart was filled with regret.
The item that Yang Qingshu was robbed that day was the inner core of a spiritual beast.
In this world, other than humans, there were also numerous spiritual beasts. Their strength was far beyond that of humans. Inside each spirit beast's body, there was an inner core.
The inner cores of spiritual beasts were priceless. Their greatest function was to refine the Innate Golden Core.
The Innate Golden Core had a chance to help a Stage Ten Internal Strength expert break through the barrier and enter the Innate Realm.
Therefore, when everyone heard that the inner core of the spiritual beast had failed and shattered, their hearts were filled with pain. One must know that if one could refine the Innate Golden Core, there was a high possibility of creating an Innate Master.
Yang Qingshi's heart was also in pain. When he received the news that day, he stole the inner core halfway and sent it to a sect overnight with the intention of refining the Innate Golden Core. However, he didn't expect the refinement to fail and the inner core to disappear.
However, he couldn't do anything about it, and he didn't dare to complain.
Firstly, the success rate of refining the Innate Golden Core was already low. This was something that the sect had already made clear before the refinement. Secondly, there was a Innate Master in the sect. It was already difficult for him, a mere Houtian Realm Level Ten, to be able to get someone to refine the Innate Golden Core. How could he complain if the refinement failed?
He originally planned to break through to the Innate Golden Core and then return to the Yang Family to become the head of the family.
However, the refinement of the Innate Golden Core had failed. He had no choice but to invite his friends and even hire them with a large sum of money and promises of benefits. Only then did he convince so many masters to return to the Yang Family with him.
Yang Xuan stood quietly at the side. He didn't want to interrupt, but Yang Qingshu suddenly came to Yang Xuan's side quietly.
"Grand Elder!" Yang Qingshu said softly.
"Hmm? Sixth Uncle! What's the matter? "Yang Xuan asked.
Yang Qingshu looked at Yang Qingshi and gritted his teeth. "Do you know how your father died?"
Yang Xuan was shocked. He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Yang Qingshu. "Yang Qingshi?"
A trace of sadness appeared on Yang Qingshu's face. He nodded and said, "Yes!"
