Chapter 93: Three Brothers with Different Fates.
Inside the main hall of Haotian Sect.
"Outrageous! How dare anyone bully my Haotian Sect!"
A thunderous shout boomed, causing the lights in the hall to flicker.
In the center of the main hall, Tang Long and Tang Hu stood with their heads down, their faces pale.
The two men, covered in bruises, were now trembling as they faced Tang Hao.
The two of them were considered the best of the younger generation in the clan. When had they ever been in such a disheveled state?
Tang Hao looked at the two of them, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and said:
"Who on earth could have beaten you all up like this? Take me to meet him!"
Tang Long gritted his teeth and said fiercely:
"That kid... probably knew he'd gotten into trouble, so he ran away."
"He ran away?" Tang Hao glared angrily and looked outside the hall. "This is outrageous! Have the disciples of the Broken Clan find him for me. If we don't swallow this insult, how can my Haotian Sect save face!"
My brother has been bullied, and by the same person again and again. Does the Haotian Sect think there's no one else?
Just then, an elderly man with white hair and beard slowly walked in.
Upon seeing this, Tang Hao and the others bowed and greeted, "Ninth Elder."
The Ninth Elder waved his hand and asked, "What has made Hao'er so angry?"
Tang Hu quickly reported the events of the past two days to the Ninth Elder in detail.
When the Ninth Elder heard that an unknown young man had defeated Tang Long and Tang Hu in succession, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He then glanced at the two defeated men, his brows furrowing slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
Someone who can defeat Tang Long and Tang Hu in succession must be quite strong, but even if they are strong, can they be stronger than Tang Hao?
The Ninth Elder didn't take the matter to heart.
Tang Hao snorted coldly and said, "Elder, this matter concerns the reputation of my Haotian Sect. I must personally meet that brat!"
The Ninth Elder waved his hand, his tone calm, and said:
"In about ten days, it will be the inauguration ceremony of the new sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan. The sect leader specifically requested that you few go together, so don't let this little matter delay your trip."
"I understand, but..." Tang Hao wanted to say something more, but the Ninth Elder interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is one of the three upper clans. The three upper clans have been closely connected for many years. This grand ceremony is your opportunity to show your face and deepen your friendship. In the future, you will all be the successors of the Clear Sky Clan, so you must learn how to interact with each other!"
Tang Hao took a deep breath and said, "This disciple understands."
The Ninth Elder nodded in satisfaction, then said to Tang Long and the other two, "You two should also take good care of your injuries."
After the Ninth Elder left, Tang Hao slammed his fist on the table, and the heavy marble tabletop cracked and shattered.
"He may run away, but he can't hide. We'll dig three feet into the ground to find him after the ceremony."
...
Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan.
As night deepened, Yu Yuanzhen was engrossed in reviewing important sect matters in his brightly lit study.
The candlelight flickered, casting its light on his resolute face, where a hint of weariness was visible between his brows.
Since he prepared to take over the position of sect leader, he has been responsible for all matters, big and small, within the clan.
Although he is only in his forties, he looks like he has reached the age of fifty.
Soft footsteps came from outside the door, and a beautiful woman dressed in an elegant long dress pushed the door open and entered, carrying a pot of tea and a plate of delicate pastries.
She had gentle features and looked much younger than Yu Yuanzhen, yet her every move exuded elegance and grace.
Standing together, no one would guess that she was his wife.
"Take care and get some rest, don't overwork yourself."
She placed the tea and snacks on a corner of the table, her voice gentle and soothing.
Yu Yuanzhen then raised his head, his cold and stern face softening slightly.
"Yao'er".
He took the tea and snacks from Yao'er, the warmth seeping into his palm through the teacup.
Yao'er sat down beside him, her gaze sweeping over the mountain of files on the table, and said softly:
"You shouldn't work too hard. Some things can be delegated to others, so don't do them yourself."
Yao'er said with heartache.
Yu Yuanzhen shook his head and said, "Before officially taking office, it's best to do things personally, so that I can get familiar with the sect's affairs as soon as possible."
After taking a bite of the pastry, Yu Yuanzhen continued:
"By the way, have all the invitations been sent out for the succession ceremony next week?"
Yao'er looked at Yu Yuanzhen, nodded, and said:
"The messages have all been sent out. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Clear Sky School, the Spirit Hall, and all the major families and sects have responded and will send elders to attend the ceremony."
"Um."
Yu Yuanzhen took a sip of tea and handed the teacup to Yao'er.
Yao'er took the teacup, her fingertips tracing the inside of the cup. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "About Xiao Gang..."
Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's name, Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then said:
"Xiao Gang has already received the notification at Thunder Academy, and he is preparing to return to the sect."
Yu Yuanzhen sighed and continued:
"According to the dean, his soul power has remained at level 20, which is not enough to meet the academy's graduation standards. Now, the only option is to issue him a certificate of attendance."
Upon hearing this, a hint of heartache flashed in Yao'er's eyes, and she said:
"Could you make an exception? Give Xiaogang a few more years to try and graduate..."
Yu Yuanzhen sighed, "I'll talk to Dean Lei Ting again after I officially take over as sect leader."
A brief silence fell over the room. Although Yu Yuanzhen appeared stern, even tigers don't eat their cubs, so how could he possibly abandon those two children?
"Then what about next week's ceremony..." Yao'er hesitated.
According to sect tradition, during the succession ceremony, the eldest son will receive the sect leader's token from the former sect leader and hand it over to the new sect leader.
The new sect leader would then take the opportunity to give his belt to his eldest son.
This also symbolizes the passing down of the torch, representing that the eldest son will be groomed as the next sect leader.
However, this generation is different.
The old man, Yu Zhentian, has already arranged everything. This step will be carried out by Yu Xiaozhen.
Yu Xiaozhen is now a level 31 Soul Master. Not long after he went to Thunder Academy, he joined the Thunder Academy team and was cultivated by the academy as an important new combat force.
He is far superior to Yu Xiaogang, who spent seven years studying at the academy and only reached the class of 20.
The implications of this arrangement are quite clear.
Yu Xiaozhen will bypass his eldest son and become the first candidate for the next sect leader.
Yao'er bit her lower lip and said regretfully, "Xiao Gang's martial soul has mutated... he really can't be entrusted with important tasks. There's really no other way. I hope he can take it easy."
When it came to the mutation of martial souls, the couple both thought of another child.
"Have you heard from Xiao Lie?"
Yao'er asked.
Yu Yuanzhen's expression softened slightly, and he said, "My second uncle said he has already contacted him, and he will return for the inauguration ceremony."
"This child, he just left without a word, and seven years have passed. In the first few years, we kept in touch through letters, but in the last few years, there has been no news of him, and his fate is unknown..."
Yao'er's eyes gradually welled up with tears, then she forced a smile and said:
"Fortunately, he is not the eldest son. Even if his cultivation is poor and he cannot cultivate, the sect can still ensure that he has enough to eat and wear... He should be able to accept this on his own."
Indeed, in the eyes of everyone in the sect, Yu Xiaolie, as the second oldest, did not receive any of the preferential treatment due to being the eldest grandson, nor could he be said to have lost anything.
Yu Yuanzhen stood up and walked to Yao'er's side, saying meaningfully, "I haven't seen these children for many years. I wonder how they are doing."
...
Starry Sky Forest.
Two figures, one old and one young, flashed rapidly, accompanied by a ball of purple light.
