4: Chapter 4 Father, do you... do you believe me?

Luo Yunkai held his breath, checking the Spirit Stones in the System Space.

Ten million, it really is ten million!

He suppressed the urge to cackle madly.

Calm down, calm down, so many people are watching, and his son is here too. Can't go crazy! Can't expose the System's secret!

These people can be killed, but not his son. This is his continuous ATM!

Xiao Tian felt Luo Yunkai trembling all over, thinking it was caused by his 'Father.' His gaze towards Luo Yunkai grew even more adoring.

“Father, thank you, thank you for coming to save me.”

Luo Yunkai put on a benevolent father's expression. “Silly child, what are you thanking me for? I'm your father, saving you is what I should do.”

Xiao Tian heard this and gave a bitter smile. “Should be?” He involuntarily looked at his mother, kneeling on the ground in the crowd.

At this moment, her Face was filled with panic, gone was her inherent haughtiness, and the two strands of black hair scattered by her cheeks made her appear even more disheveled.

Luo Yunkai followed her gaze, and when his eyes met the woman shaking her head, repeatedly saying, “Don't kill me,” “I bore you a son,” a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

This woman actually watched her son being beaten to the brink of death without stopping it!

She almost made him lose ten million!

The more Luo Yunkai thought about it, the angrier he got, glaring at Xiao Yueqing. “Xiao Yueqing, you are an unworthy mother! To actually watch our son almost be beaten to death!”

The accusation Xiao Tian couldn't and wouldn't voice, Luo Yunkai said for him.

Xiao Yueqing was stunned, her lips mumbling, “I didn't mean to beat Tian'er to death, but he refused to hand over the Medicinal Pill he stole. That was his uncle's life-saving Medicinal Pill.”

Xiao Tian, whose injuries had somewhat healed, struggled to his feet, his slender body standing tall.

He roared in anger, “I said I didn't steal it, didn't steal it, it wasn't me! Why won't you believe me?!”

His body trembled slightly; he was afraid, afraid that Luo Yunkai wouldn't believe him either.

His voice shaking, Xiao Tian still stubbornly turned to look at Luo Yunkai, “Father, I didn't steal it!”

Luo Yunkai saw the shattered despair in his eyes and said without hesitation, “Father believes you!”

Xiao Tian froze, “Father, you, you believe me?”

Luo Yunkai nodded, “Of course!”

He had always been someone who favored his own over what was right, unconditionally standing by his people!

Xiao Tian smiled, tears wetting his Face, “Father, thank you for believing me, thank you!”

Luo Yunkai patted his son's thin shoulder, feeling the bones with that pat, and he frowned instantly, annoyed.

“Why are you so thin? I'll have to give you a good tonic later, make you stronger, so you won't be bullied.”

Xiao Tian nodded haphazardly.

Luo Yunkai was even happier to see his son tacitly agreeing to go with him.

ATM arrived!

Feeling happy, Luo Yunkai wanted to kill someone to celebrate.

“Tian'er, these people wronged you and almost killed you. How about Father kills them all to apologize to you?”

Luo Yunkai spoke as if he wasn't talking about killing people, but rather killing chickens or ducks.

Mortals, to an Immortal, are not even harder to kill than chickens or ducks.

Everyone in the Chengen Marquiss Residence trembled in fear.

Xiao Yueqing's eyes widened. She dared not say anything to Luo Yunkai, her gaze fixed on Xiao Tian.

“Tian'er, everyone in this residence is your relative. Your mother gave birth to you out of wedlock. If it weren't for your kind uncle who kept and raised you, you wouldn't be alive today. You can't...”

“I can!” Xiao Tian interrupted his mother's lengthy lecture from her moral high ground.

Xiao Yueqing looked at Xiao Tian in disbelief, as if questioning, 'How did you become like this?'

Xiao Tian looked back, his gaze unwavering, showing no psychological burden about his decision.

“Everyone in this residence is not my relative, but my enemy!”

“They are the enemies who, ever since I could remember, would deliberately throw stones at me, hitting me until my head bled!”

“They are the enemies who stripped me naked and threw me into the snow in winter, almost freezing me into an ice sculpture!”

“They are the enemies who burned down my living quarters in the height of summer, almost burning me to death!”

“They are the enemies who, when happy, wanted me to be their horse to ride, and when unhappy, would beat me half to death!”

“They are...”

With each sentence Xiao Tian spoke, Luo Yunkai's killing intent grew stronger.

Finally, Xiao Tian roared, “They are the enemies who slandered me for stealing Medicinal Pills and almost beat me to death!”

“And I, Xiao Tian, am alive and grew up not because Marquis Chengen was kind, but because if I died, you would also have to die!” Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Yueqing with reddened eyes.

“He still needs you to form a marriage alliance to maintain relations, so he can't let you die, and can only tolerate me, understand?”

“I don't owe the Chengen Marquiss Residence a single cent, but I owe you, I owe you two lives!”

“One life for giving birth to me, one life for raising me!”

“And these two lives...”

“One, I repaid by enduring all the bitter consequences of your youthful recklessness in the Chengen Marquiss Residence!”

“One, I repaid when you tried to force me to my death today!”

Xiao Tian looked at Xiao Yueqing, who was shaking her head in disbelief, and said each word clearly, “From now on, I no longer owe you!”

Luo Yunkai's oppressive Aura also completely erupted.

“Bang bang bang!”

The bluestone-paved floor was shattered by Luo Yunkai's Aura, and half-man-sized bluestones flew in all directions.

“Ah!”

Those forced to stay in place by the oppressive Aura had nowhere to hide and were crushed into bloody pulp!

In just a few breaths, the Chengen Marquiss Residence not only lost its tiles, but even its floor was torn up.

In front of the Main Hall, the smell of blood permeated the air, and the younger generation who were lucky enough not to be crushed to death were retching and crying.

The scene was chaotic, to say the least.

Xiao Tian watched with cold eyes.

It was just a bit surprising to him that the most delicate Xiao Yueqing was still perfectly fine, without a single injury, and even her Jade Bracelet and Golden Hairpin Ornaments were intact.

Luo Yunkai took a step forward, staring coldly at the trembling Xiao Yueqing.

“Back then, you were abducted by bandits, and I saved you.”

“You were poisoned by a secret medicine, with no antidote. You begged me to spend a night with you, saying that afterwards it would be as if nothing had happened, is that right?”

Xiao Yueqing nodded tremblingly.

Xiao Tian looked at her in disbelief.

Luo Yunkai's gaze was like a knife. “You broke your promise and gave birth to Tian'er. I can probably guess your intentions.”

“It was nothing more than waiting for me to return one day, discover Tian'er's existence, and for his sake, take you and your Family members to the Cultivation World.”

“I imagine your brother didn't drown you and even kept Tian'er because you told him my identity, right?”

Xiao Tian suddenly understood, and the last bit of resentment he had towards Luo Yunkai, his father, vanished.

It turned out his father was never a scoundrel who abandoned others after seducing them! Nor was he a philanderer or a lecher!

His father was the innocent one who was plotted against!

It turned out he could live, not because Xiao Yueqing was valuable to Marquis Chengen and he couldn't bear for her to die, but because he himself inherently had value!

His survival all these years had nothing to do with Xiao Yueqing!

Luo Yunkai, with his Divine Sense, was observing Xiao Tian and naturally felt the fluctuations in his emotions, a triumphant glint flashing in his eyes.

This son is a sentimental one!

He likes sentimental people!

Such people, once they put you in their heart, will not betray you!

But similarly, sentimental people cannot tolerate even a small grievance!

This was why Luo Yunkai had this conversation after sparing Xiao Yueqing's life.

Now, Xiao Yueqing could die.

Luo Yunkai looked at Xiao Yueqing, whose beauty was undiminished, as if looking at a dead person.

“Your idea was good. I do value Bloodline.”

“If not for today's incident, your plan would certainly have succeeded. A few mere Mortals, it's not difficult to lend a hand and take them to the Cultivation World.”

Marquis Chengen and Xiao Yueqing's Faces showed regret, and Xiao Zimu was filled with remorse!

They were wrong!

“Unfortunately, you lacked patience.” Luo Yunkai chuckled softly, raising his hand, a little fire ball dancing and burning on it.

“You couldn't wait to slander my son for theft, wanting to put him to death to erase the stain.”

Marquis Chengen quickly shook his head, “Immortal, please be clear, I didn't think that! This is just a misunderstanding!”

Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow and smiled.

“Misunderstanding or intentional, just as you never cared about my son's explanation, I am indifferent to the misunderstanding you speak of.”

Under the desperate gaze of the remaining living members of the Xiao Family, Luo Yunkai threw out the fire ball...

“Fellow Daoist, wait!”
