Chereads / Eternal Resonance / Chapter 45 - The Xu Clan

Chapter 45 - The Xu Clan

The car landed in an open square inside what seems to be a large estate surrounded by mountains. 

"At last I will finally get to meet father." Xu Weizhe hop out of the car with an excited look. No one except him knows how long he wished for this day to come. 

"You better not call him father when you meet him." Xu Lengyu uttered with his hands behind his neck in a carefree manner.

"Especially when you meet the Empresses. If they ever hear you say that word they will instantly cut off your head." He continued with a yawn. 

"I dare them to try." Xu Weizhe sneered at his comment. 

"They better watch their attitude unless they want the omnipotent eye to get lost in history again." With an arrogant tone he said filled with endless hate for the empresses. 

Just like Xu Wantian he was never favored by the main family because of his status as a bastard child. 

In fact, Xu Weizhe was never an untalented child. When the Empresses found out that he had immense talent to be considered a genius of the Xu Clan they immediately took action by reporting false news to the Xu Emperor that he was born with garbage talent.

This led to him not gaining the Xu Emperor favor and so he was cast away from the main family to the branch family.

Furthermore, because of their fear of him growing strong enough in the future they sent assassins after him. 

They feared that when he grow up the Xu Emperor will realize his mistake and take him back into the main family. This would lead to the Xu Emperor figuring out that the Empresses lie to him which would spell great trouble for them.

They probably didn't expect that not only was he still alive, but was also noticed by the Xu Emperor. 

"And you better watch that tone of yours unless you want me to personally kill you right now." Xu Lengyu responded with a threat of his own. 

"Do you think I don't know about what the Empresses did to you?" He continued with cold eyes.

"Well let me to tell you something. The truth is I was actually sent to the mortal world to kill you. But who would have thought you were so sneaky to the point you could easily hide your tracks from a cultivator like me?" He said while shaking his head before taking a look at Xu Weizhe expecting him to have some sort of surprised look on his face.

But when he looked all he saw was his casual look with both hands crossed, his face held upwards with his eyes filled amusement. 

"Your... not surprised?" Not believing what he's seeing he asked.

"You poor old man. I already knew from the beginning the moment I saw you appear before Xu Wantian through my omnipotent eye." Noticing his face drop Xu Weizhe laughed. 

"Who are you calling old you brat!" Hearing himself being called old he yelled with clench fist. 

"You! You old man. You were born right before the good karma of the genius era ended. That is like millions of years ago!" He grumbled with a face filled with disdain.

"And you dare try to seduce the Pill Fairy? I look down on people like you." With a scoff he began walking away from Xu Lengyu. 

"Hey where you going?!" Seeing him leaving the group Xu Lengyu shouted with eyes filled with rage.

"You better take back what you just said!" He yelled before running after him. 

"It's so nice seeing Xu Lengyu getting angry." Yu Sheng got out of the car with a pleased look with Yu Xiaolian beside him. All this time he was watching the two with joyous eyes as if he was watching something entertaining going on. 

"I can't believe Xu Lengyu is that old though. That guy is 100% an old geezer." He laughed as he began walking to catch up with them. 

"Hey are you also that old?" Turning to look at Yu Xiaolian he asked. 

"No. If I was I would be dead by now due to my current cultivation." She immediately shook her head. 

"Hmm? Then how old are you?" Curious, he asked about her true age but quickly came to regret his decision as Yu Xiaolian stare at him with teary eyes.

"Why are you asking me this? Do you think I am too old for you to play with?" 

"Forget I asked." Seeing things were getting out of hand he replied quickly before things could get any worse.

Yu Xiaolian smiled teasingly at him.

"By the way. I should warn you." A moment later she stopped joking as her face quickly turn serious. 

"If we do actually meet the Xu Emperor, don't directly stare into his eyes."

"Eh? Why?" Surprised by her warning he asked.

"It's just a rumor that has been going around for ages. It is said that whenever someone stare directly in the Xu Emperor eyes they are met face to face with something that would spell doom for them." She replied with a straight face.

"Hmm. Noted." He listened to her advice with a nod of his head.

"Hey what took you guys so long? Were you making out again?" When the two arrived at the front gate to the entrance of the Xu Clan they heard Xu Lengyu mocking them with a teasing look.

"..."

Rolling his eyes, Yu Sheng choose to be quiet this time knowing that saying anything would lead to him embarrassing himself.

"Let's stop wasting time and get in already." Annoyed at how long he have to wait Xu Weizhe rushed them to get inside.

"Aren't I suppose to be the one to act all bossy? Why the heck is the one who got kicked out the main branch acting all cocky?" Xu Lengyu grumbled to himself before arriving at a face scanner device.

Getting close to it, the device scanned his face and with a loud thud the gates opened wide enough for three large trucks to fit side by side. 

"After this point you guys better follow behind me." Xu Lengyu commanded before walking in front of the group.

"And don't. I repeat! Don't release your cultivation here. It's a sign of disrespect." He warned. 

"What a show off." Xu Weizhe muttered to himself. 

"I can hear that!" 

"I agree with Xu Weizhe." Yu Sheng chuckled as he follow behind Xu Lengyu. 

"You bastards..." Feeling like they were affecting his pride he cursed.

Half an hour later they arrived at what seems to be a castle painted all black. The color eclipsing the night skies. If it wasn't for the red moon that was still in the sky illuminating its light on the world it would be hard to even discover this castle. 

"Welcome children." When they arrived a man dressed like a butler greeted them. 

"Hello." The three of them greeted back.

"Hey Uncle Chen!" Xu Lengyu came up to the butler and raised his hand. The butler also raised his hand and they both slap each other hand in a tight grip, their muscles bulging at how hard they were gripping one another hand.

"It's been quite some time Young Master Lengyu." Uncle Chen greeted back with a bow of his head. 

"I- It has indeed... been quite some time!" Xu Lengyu replied back while stuttering, his face pale at how hard the man was gripping his hand. 

"Are these the children the Master wants to see?" Uncle Chen asked as he began loosing his grip causing Xu Lengyu to fall to the ground as he held his hand in pain, getting a chuckle out of the three behind him. 

"They are." Feeling the pain ease up a little he sighed in relief. 

"Good, let us go then." Nodding his head, Uncle Chen began walking inside. The four follow suit and walk behind him. 

'Man even inside the place is painted black.' Noticing the similarity from outside and inside Yu Sheng couldn't help but thought to himself.

'How the hell do they even see inside here...' He wondered as there was hardly any light inside. The only thing he could do was follow behind everyone and listen to their footsteps.

They travelled through a long corridor until they finally arrive at an open area that seems to be the living room. 

"Where are we?" Not recognizing the area Xu Weizhe questioned. 

"You are at the place we will be judging to see if your fit to enter the main family." At that moment the voice of a woman echoed as light came out of no where, blinding Yu Sheng and the others. 

When they open back their eyes what Yu Sheng saw made him frightened. There were a bunch of people sitting in front of him. As if noticing him and the others they turn towards them, their faces filled with mocking smiles. 

Above him were seven chairs each having one woman sitting on them. Their faces expressionless as they look at him and the others. 

"Welcome to The Supreme Trials of the Xu Clan." The woman sitting in the middle declared.
