Chapter 1: Recognizing Kin

Baiyun Guan is built on a small hill in Nan Cheng.

There are over a dozen Daoists in the temple. At this moment, the temple master Baiyun Lao Dao stands before a youth wearing Daoist robes.

The youth is about twenty years old, with a handsome appearance, standing before Baiyun Lao Dao, listening to his admonition.

"Qin Yang, you are the True Young Master of the Nan Cheng Qin Family. You were mistakenly taken as a child, and through a twist of fate I adopted you. Now your birth parents have found you—go down the mountain to acknowledge your kin."

Baiyun Lao Dao said.

"Okay, Master."

Qin Yang replied.

Baiyun Lao Dao hesitated for a moment, then said: "After you go down the mountain, you don't need to care about what others say; just act according to your Dao, and do not go against your heart's Dao."

"Understood, Master."

Qin Yang performed a salute, then turned and left.

Baiyun Lao Dao sighed.

At this moment, a young disciple could not help but ask: "Master, what is the Senior Brother's Dao?"

Baiyun Lao Dao clenched his fist.

The young disciple, pondering, said: "Master's meaning is to endure if you can endure, and not throw punches lightly."

Thud.

Baiyun Lao Dao gave him a flick directly.

"Nonsense, I mean to be indifferent to life and death; if you're not satisfied, just do it—if you can Dòngshǒu, then stop the chatter."

The young disciple widened his eyes—this is the Senior Brother's Dao?

"I hope the Qin Family treats the Senior Brother a little better, regards him as kin, otherwise……"

Baiyun Lao Dao sighed.

"What otherwise? Will the Senior Brother feel hurt?"

The young disciple asked.

"No, the Senior Brother will perform a certain art."

"What art?" the young disciple said, full of curiosity.

"Household Registration Erasure Art."

Baiyun Lao Dao sighed.

Young disciple: "……"

He is too naive.

……

Nan Cheng, Qin Family.

Qin Yang stood in the hall of the mansion, his expression somewhat uneasy.

Not far away, members of the Qin Family sat on the sofa, sizing him up with looks of disdain.

"You're Qin Yang, right? Sure enough, you grew up in the countryside—no manners at all, and you don't even know how to address someone when you meet them."

A woman in her twenties said, wearing a professional outfit, looking arrogantly at Qin Yang, her eyes full of contempt.

"Qin Yang, although you are my biological son, it has been Qin Li who has accompanied us these years; do not dare to dream of replacing him in our hearts."

She is a woman who looks about forty; she must be Qin Yang's birth mother, Jiang Wanrou.

Beside her sat a man who also looked about twenty, dressed in high-end custom attire; upon hearing Jiang Wanrou's words, he immediately showed a simple, honest smile.

"Mom, you're really good to me, but please don't say it so directly—I'm worried Brother will feel hurt."

Jiang Wanrou's face instantly broke into a doting smile, but when her gaze fell on Qin Yang again, it turned to contempt.

"Learn well from your younger brother; if you have even a tenth of his sense, I'll be content."

Qin Li glanced at Qin Yang with contempt, smirking inwardly— the Qin Family's young master can only be him, Qin Li.

Even though Qin Yang shares blood with the Qin Family, how could he compare to the years of companionship he has had?

"From now on, when you see me outside, you are not allowed to say you know me—my brother can only be Qin Li."

The speaker is the Qin Family's young daughter, Qin Wan.

Qin Weiye frowned, seeing that Qin Yang had not spoken all along, and said with some concern: "He couldn't be mute, could he? If so, the Su Family might not agree to let him marry into their family."

"Hmph, even if he were mute, what's it to you? The Su Family's daughter is disabled, and her face was disfigured in a car accident—having a mute husband would already be not bad; are you really going to let Brother marry her?"

Qin Wan Bùmǎn||Term said.

Qin Li said: "Qin Yang, older brother, you're blessed—just coming from the countryside, you can marry Nan Cheng's number one female CEO, a fine match that others beg for but cannot get."

"Have you finished speaking?"

Just then, a sudden voice sounded.

"You're not mute?"

Qin Weiye said in surprise.

Qin Yang said calmly: "Of course I'm not mute; I just can't be bothered to deal with you lot of idiots."

"What did you say? I'm your father—you dare scold me? You little beast who defies heaven!"

Qin Weiye stood up directly, his face full of rage.

Qin Yang remained unmoved, saying calmly: "An old beast sires a young beast—this saying is faultless."

Qin Weiye nearly had a heart attack from anger.

He panted heavily, then sat directly on the sofa.

Qin Li stood up, angrily saying to Qin Yang: "Brother, how can you speak to Father like that? If you're doing this because of me, then take it out on me—whether you hit me or scold me, I can endure it, as long as Brother doesn't drive me away."

Qin Yang's eyes lit up, and he swung a slap.

Pa.

Qin Li's half face swelled up, he opened his mouth and spat out several bloody teeth.

You're crazy, what are you doing?

Jiang Wanrou stood up, shielded Qin Li, and glared at Qin Yang as if looking at an enemy.

He told me to hit him, didn't you hear? Or you heard but didn't understand—you're truly an idiot.

Qin Yang sighed.

Jiang Wanrou felt darkness swirling before her eyes, almost fainting from anger.

You country bumpkin, you have no manners at all—how can you speak to your parents like that?

Qin Xue said discontentedly; she is the eldest daughter of the Qin Family and also Qin Yang's older sister.

Qin Yang directly slapped her.

Pa.

Qin Xue covered her face, looking incredulous.

Qin Yang said discontentedly: "Country folk dug up your family's ancestral grave—do you look down on country folk? Without country folk, what would you eat? As for the upbringing you mentioned, I don't even have a family, so where would any upbringing come from?"

I'm just a guy born of parents but not raised by them—do you think what I'm saying is right?

Qin Xue covered her face, left speechless by the retort.

Qin Wan shrank her neck, not daring to speak.

As a result, Qin Yang walked over, grabbed her, and threw her straight out the door.

Ah, my front tooth got knocked out, wuu wuu, it hurts so much.

Since I've come back to recognize my kin, I'm not this girl's brother; she definitely isn't part of this family, and from now on she's not allowed to enter the house.

Qin Yang said easily.

The entire Qin Family fell into an eerie silence.

Afterward, Qin Weiye's furious voice came.

Bodyguards, let me in and seize this unfilial son; I want to give him a proper lesson.

More than ten bodyguards rushed in and surrounded Qin Yang.

Qin Yang raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Reasoning with you won't work, so I'll also resort to some martial arts."

The next moment, he exerted force with his feet.

The marble floor was directly shattered under his feet.

More than ten bodyguards all swallowed involuntarily and stepped back a few steps.

Their bones aren't as hard as the marble floor.

Qin Weiye's face turned extremely grim.

Seeing the bodyguards useless, he was so angry he couldn't speak.

Alright, prepare some daily necessities and bedding, all brand new, and send them to my room shortly.

Having said that, Qin Yang walked upstairs.

Just as he reached the stairs, Qin Yang turned and said: "By the way, have it delivered within twenty minutes, or I don't mind demolishing this building."

Having said that, Qin Yang didn't look back, went to a room on the second floor, opened the door and entered.

"That's my room!" Qin Li shouted.

The next moment, Qin Li's belongings were thrown out one by one by Qin Yang, some even falling to the first floor and shattering.

"From now on, it's mine."

Qin Yang's voice came.
