Chapter 181: Shang Yue goes up the mountain to receive special training

Second sister, did he leave?

He left.

Shang Yue finally let out a breath, glanced inside the bedroom, saw no trace of Chen Chuyang, smelled nothing strange, and his second sister's bed was undisturbed; his heart completely relaxed.

Ow ow ow.

Not long after, his ear was seized, and Shang Hongxue twisted it hard.

What are you looking at? What do you mean? Are you suspecting your second sister? I think you want to die.

Shang Yue hurriedly begged for mercy: "Second sister, I was wrong, really wrong, I won't dare again."

Spare me, I was wrong, sorry.

Shang Yue, who quickly dropped to his knees, apologized repeatedly and promised repeatedly, thus avoiding a beating and also avoiding a scolding.

Shang Hongxue released her grip, stared seriously at Shang Yue, her good younger brother; after so long, his cultivation remained unchanged, showing no progress at all.

How long has he been stuck at this level? This won't do.

Shang Yue, how about going with your second sister to Longshe Shan for training when the time comes?

Shang Yue refused immediately; though he hated to part, he wouldn't go to suffer.

Longshe Shan—last time it left him in bad shape; if he went again and underwent another medicinal bath, he could die; beaten to death he wouldn't return, absolutely cannot agree to his second sister's suggestion.

He still wants to live a few more years.

No.

Second sister, I won't go.

His attitude was firm; he wasn't afraid of his second sister disciplining him.

Shang Hongxue put her hands on her hips: "Are you sure?"

Although Shang Yue was afraid, for the sake of his life he could only steel himself and answer: "Certainly, I won't go; no one can make me, I won't go to Longshe Shan."

Shang Hongxue went straight for him, twisting his ear again, even kicking him.

It looks like she's going to give her brother a beating.

No matter what, Shang Yue wouldn't yield; his resolve was unprecedentedly firm.

Second sister, even if you beat me to death, I won't go.

Going or not?

Not going.

Bang.

After a flurry of punches and kicks, a heavy beating.

Shang Hongxue asked again: "Going or not?"

Not going.

Shang Yue felt no fear; at most he'd just get a beating, but if he went to Longshe Shan, it wouldn't be up to him.

By then his life would be in others' hands; such a life is not what Shang Yue wants.

Shang Yue, why won't you listen? Could your second sister possibly be trying to harm you?

Isn't that the case?

You...

It made her furious.

Shang Hongxue increased her force, deciding to give him a thorough beating, old and new grudges combined.

Ah ah ah.

The anguished cries drew others' attention; seeing that Shang Hongxue was beating her brother, they all left.

They pretended not to see, not wanting to get involved.

Shang Yingnian and Jiang Luolan came upon hearing the noise, saw Shang Yue being beaten, and quickly separated them.

What's going on?

Seeing his father arrive, Shang Yue hurriedly cried out: "Father, I'm miserable; my second sister insists I go to Longshe Shan, and if I don't she beats me."

Father, you must decide for your child; I've done nothing, yet she beats me.

Having a backer, Shang Yue began to accuse his second sister of her crimes.

Jiang Luolan said nothing, looking at her daughter; Shang Hongxue said: "I'm doing this for my brother's own good—he trains at home with no effect at all; look at him, after all this time he's still at the seventh layer of Blood Tempering."

I've already condensed a qi seed, while he's still standing still.

I just want him to train at Longshe Shan; with Chuyang brother's help, he'll surely condense a qi seed quickly, and then he can also help Father.

She also feels wronged; for her brother she's gone all out.

But her brother doesn't appreciate it and even accuses her.

Her heart is weary.

Jiang Luolan, hearing this, turned and rebuked Shang Yue: "You say you're really something; your second sister is doing this for your own good—how can you act like this?"

She hit me, Mother.

Hitting you is deserved; who made you disobedient?" Shang Hongxue retorted, a glance that made Shang Yue dare not speak.

Wronged and pitiful, he could only turn to his mother for help.

Jiang Luolan pressed her hand down: "Son, how about this: this time, listen to your second sister, go train at Longshe Shan for a while—just a few months—and then Mother will have Father come fetch you down the mountain, okay?"

No.

Shang Yue never expected his mother to side with his sister, wanting him to suffer.

Why are they all treating him like this? He doesn't want to go to Longshe Shan.

That brother-in-law will surely torment him badly; this time he has indeed offended his second sister's husband.

Second brother-in-law is so petty, he will definitely take revenge.

Mother didn't hear clearly; can you say it again?

Jiang Luolan narrowed her eyes, coldly staring at her son; at this moment, the mother's dignity emanated without anger.

I...

Shang Yue shrank his head, not daring to speak, nor to retort.

Seeking help from his father, Shang Yingnian coughed: "Actually, this matter is easily handled, son; just go with your second sister to Longshe Shan—rest assured, I will speak to your second brother-in-law about that side, so he will take good care of you."

"Don't, Father, you can't treat me like this." Shang Yue was about to cry.

Why are they all treating me this way? He truly does not want to go.

Shang Yingnian pressed his hands on Shang Yue's shoulders; those hands were like mountain peaks.

Shang Yue could not move, nor breathe; it was too heavy, too forceful.

His bones were about to be crushed.

Son, this matter is not up to you; you must go whether you want to or not—go tomorrow, that's settled, don't try any tricks.

I...

Do you have any objections?

Swish-swish.

Three pairs of eyes stared at him; Shang Yue wanted to cry, really, he very much wanted to cry.

After the eldest sister was gone, everyone targeted him; his status became even lower.

It would have been better when the eldest sister was around; at least, she wouldn't bully him like this.

No-no...

The stammering Shang Yue could only grit his teeth and nod.

That's right, son; don't let your second sister's painstaking efforts go to waste.

Shang Yingnian firmly patted his shoulders, warning him not to mess around or cause trouble.

Once you go to Longshe Shan, you must honestly cultivate for me; when you condense the qi seed, then you may come down the mountain.

This is a mandatory requirement, not open to discussion.

Upon hearing this, Shang Yue looked at his father in disbelief: "Condense the qi seed? Father, are you abandoning me?"

Son, condensing the qi seed is simple; look, your second sister has already condensed hers; given your talent, it will take only a few months. You must trust your second brother-in-law—he will treat you well and arrange everything for you. After you go up the mountain, you must obey; do whatever your second brother-in-law tells you, do not oppose him, or else when you get beaten, no one will be able to help you.

This son needs a good beating; otherwise, he won't obey.

Perhaps, sending him to Longshe Shan will make him much more obedient.

It's time to send him for some training; Chen Chuyang that kid surely has a way to educate this son.

At the same time, Shang Yingnian also began transferring some of the clan's younger disciples, preserving strength.

His little son is his heart's treasure; he trusts no one else, and only Longshe Shan is the safest.

Sending both son and daughter together puts him much more at ease.

With Chen Chuyang helping to watch over, nothing will happen; the safest place in all of Longshe Cheng is none other than Longshe Shan.

If it were before, he would not have agreed.

Jiang Luolan also thought so; the situation in Longshe Cheng is dire, and it's time to make some arrangements.
