The seventh birthday quietly arrived.
Like every year, the single mother meticulously prepared a banquet.
Link patiently endured and joined in the festivities with his single mother, cooperating fully throughout the event.
The next day, an unexpected change occurred.
Relatives from the single mother's family came over.
Two elegantly dressed young men, bearing some resemblance to the single mother, came accompanied by a group of servants and set the house where Link had lived for seven years on fire.
The single mother desperately tried to stop them, but to no avail.
Having lost her cultivation, and now frail, she was incapable of freeing herself from the grip of two maidservants.
"Bastard!" exclaimed
one young man with more malice in his eyes than the others, who stared harshly at Link. Despite the sudden changes, Link remained unmoved. The man spat out these offensive words.
"Third Brother, mind your manners!"
