Chapter 1357: The Bai Family

"Yan'er, the events of those years we aren't very clear about either," Huang Wuheng stepped forward, glanced at the dead Huang Longji on the ground, his eyes full of disgust and hatred, lifted his foot and gave him a kick; Huang Longji's body flew ten‑plus meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The force of that kick was great, nearly killing Huang Longji; one can easily see his resentment toward his nephew Huang Longji.

"Your father indeed committed many wrong deeds, and also many things that wronged your mother. He led men to wipe out your mother's clan; at that time you had not yet been born, and your mother knew nothing then. He handled this matter behind our backs."

"At that time he took his own men and some people from the Luo Family. By then he was already involved with Luo Feifei, and that woman, seeking advancement, naturally helped your father deal with your mother's clan."

"That day every member of your mother's clan perished; none survived."

"Your mother only learned of it later; that day your second grandfather and I rushed over, but unfortunately it was already too late."

"Your second grandfather was also present; he can testify."

Huang Wufeng, with a grim face, nodded: "Indeed, that's how it was. We tried to stop your father, but he moved too quickly. Those from the Luo Family annexed your mother's clan, leading to the Luo Family's later rise, and Luo Feifei seized the chance to gain your father's favor, and subsequently entered the Huang Family naturally."

"We are unaware of the later events, but one thing is certain: you are not Huang Yang's property, nor did you survive only because Luo Feifei protected you. It was I and your second grandfather who took you in and protected you. After all, you are also blood of the Huang Family, and your mother is recognized by me and your second grandfather."

"At that time your grandfather was still in seclusion, unaware of any of this. By the time he emerged, several years had passed; everything had already unfolded, the die was cast, and nothing could be changed."

"So, Yan'er, do you understand now?"

Huang Wufeng walked over, patted Huang Yan's shoulder, warmly saying: "You are Huang Yan, you are the head of the Huang Family. You are not an object nor a subordinate. The evils your father committed are his own fault and have nothing to do with you."

"Don't be fooled by Guixin Old Ghost; that person spouts ghostly nonsense and cannot be trusted."

"As for your father, he truly is a useless person, incapable of anything, and even poisons his own son; he is unfit to be the head of the Huang Family."

Filled with resentment, he glared at Huang Longji again, as if he could kill him.

Huang Wuheng took a deep breath: "Yan'er, you shouldn't overthink. The Bai Family, to counter us Huang Family, has prepared many measures; this is only one part. You, in the future, will have to go through many, many things."

"As for your father, this time he fled, preferring to ally with the Bai Family, willingly becoming a wicked ghost to revenge the Huang Family. His actions have crossed the Huang Family's bottom line. How do you intend to deal with him?"

Huang Longji's actions this time were truly excessive.

Previously, perhaps due to their own issues, Huang Wufeng and Huang Wuheng turned a blind eye, but this time, that won't do.

This time the damage is to the family's interests and cannot be forgiven.

Huang Yan lifted his head, stared at his second grandfather and third grandfather, and said: "Second grandfather, third grandfather, he is about to die; let him die peacefully."

"He has no value of existence."

Huang Wuheng heard this, fell silent for a moment, then nodded: "Fine."

Huang Wufeng spoke: "He no longer has hope to live; this action has drained all his potential and energy."

"Even if the Huang Family allocates resources to treat him, it cannot be cured."

"His heart is already dead, it can never… recover. Let him die this way; it is the best."

They need not act; they watch Huang Longji die with open eyes, and the other Huang Family members do not intervene. Huang Longji is already useless, and when he was head, he often helped outsiders bully and exploit them.

Most Huang Family members harbor no goodwill toward Huang Longji, so they naturally do not regard him.

Huang Longji's death is actually a good thing; no one can threaten Huang Yan's position anymore.

Huang Wufeng walked to Huang Longji's side, lifted his body, which was as light as a chick.

"Huang Longji, you are truly pitiful; having come this far, you still want to revenge the family."

"This time, you really… are moving a stone to strike your own foot; what else do you have to say?"

Given a chance to speak his last words, Huang Longji's gaze softened a bit; he stared at Huang Wufeng, then at Huang Yan, and at the many Huang Family members. These people all disregard him, or rather, they would rather see him die.

Better dead.

"You all want me to die, don't you? I've already come this far, death is near, I have nothing more to say."

"Victory belongs to the king, defeat to the bandit; this time I lost, I admit it."

"Huang Yan, you won, I acknowledge your luck is indeed great. You were on the brink of death many times, and each time you survived. I should have listened to Feifei; I should have killed you back then, not kept you alive."

"It was those two who protected you, letting you grow, cough cough cough."

Huang Longji's last wish was to kill Huang Yan, to let him die.

Huang Yan fell silent at that moment; he said nothing. In that instant, he understood the resentment in his father's eyes, the hatred toward his own son, wishing him dead just as before.

That gaze, that thought, has never changed.

"Hahaha," Huang Yan heard, laughing heartily, his laughter echoing through the Huang Family.

Chen Qinglian and Qi Haoyang exchanged a glance, then fell silent. Compared with Huang Yan, they fared much better; at least their father was a bit fickle, having several women, but for them, it was truly good.

Now looking back, the two think how outstanding Chen Chuyang is.

That night, Huang Longji died.

After finishing his last words, he bore the weight for several hours, and finally collapsed.

His death was a quiet one; the Huang Family held no funeral.

On the other side.

Bai Family.

Guixin Elder returned to the clan, went straight to the Grand Elder's chamber, and reported what he had seen and obtained this time.

"Grand Elder, Huang Longji has died."

The Grand Elder nodded: "So it still doesn't work? Huang Longji is truly a waste."

Guixin Elder cheerfully said: "Grand Elder, the Huang Family is indeed formidable; that kid Huang Yan's strength has surged, and in a few years he may catch up to us."

"What shocks me most are those two youngsters by his side; their strength is great, their cultivation doesn't match their power. Even I, facing them, risk being killed; we must be careful with them."

Grand Elder Ghost Serpent heard this and exclaimed, "Is it really that powerful?"
