134: Mother

After Zhuge Tianming opened the live stream camera, the Fifth transformed into a lump of earth and moved at high speed underground.

Along the way, she would encounter countless obstacles, but they were not a concern at all, because after connecting with Zhuge Tianming's destiny, Zhuge Tianming could easily sense the dangers she was about to face and warn her with his thoughts, allowing her to avoid them in advance.

The fight with Xiao Fan didn't count as their first time fighting side-by-side; after all, the Fifth wasn't in her complete form back then, Zhuge Tianming comforted himself, otherwise losing the very first battle would have been too frustrating.

This time, success is assured!

At this moment, the number of viewers in the live stream room directly soared to over fifty million, with a large number of fans continuously pouring in.

Kong Fangxiang was also watching this scene on his phone, his brows tightly furrowed; he wasn't stupid and quickly understood everything. He felt a strong sense of physiological discomfort.

But Zhuge Tianming didn't care that Kong Fangxiang knew; his mind was now focused on only one thing: to tear open the true face of the Zhuge family to this world!

He had been waiting for this day for a very, very long time!

The night was quiet and peaceful, everything seemed warm and stable, as if even this world hadn't realized what was about to happen.

"What do you want to do!" Zhuge Yingyao stared intently at his child, but what greeted him was a pair of eyes completely devoid of emotion; although he was grinning, one couldn't feel any hint of a smile, only cruelty!

Zhuge Tianming said unhurriedly, "Dear father, I just want to introduce you, this great contributor, to my fans."

After speaking, he calmly walked towards the path he was intimately familiar with.

Around them, more and more powerhouses from the Zhuge family gathered, their expressions flickering between light and dark as they watched this scene.

Where was Zhuge Tianming going? What did he want to do?

Everyone gradually began to panic, because Zhuge Tianming was accompanied by representatives from three families, as well as the Demon War God, which seemed to indicate something.

Zhuge Yingyao snorted coldly, turned, and walked towards a clansman: "Immediately activate the signal shield!"

After speaking, he even scoffed, "How childish. It seems our training was still lacking!"

But the next second, he couldn't laugh anymore, as the clansman said in a panicked voice, "It's on, but it's useless!"

"Zhuge Tianming's drone signal is too strong!"

"It's Bai Duojin! Only Bai Duojin has so many strange and wonderful things. They're trying to mess with our Zhuge family!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yingyao's face gradually stiffened, and he roared, "Then why aren't you hurrying to tell an Elder to find Bai Duojin? A mere merchant dares to challenge our Zhuge family? He's asking for death!"

After speaking, he noticed where Zhuge Tianming was heading, his face chilling, and he whispered, "Don't cause trouble for me!"

"Stop now, and I can let bygones be bygones!"

Zhuge Tianming sighed; even now, his father still hadn't understood...

Beside them, the Demon War God immediately walked over, blocking Zhuge Yingyao, and coldly snorted, "What do you want to do?"

"What do you want to do! This is my home!" Zhuge Yingyao roared.

"Then stop me, trash." Lin Wugui, as always, cursed.

"Lin Wugui, remember what you've done today!" Zhuge Yingyao raged impotently.

For the past ten-plus years, the Zhuge family had been living in luxury, their combat power weaker than the last. They were already inferior to Lin Wugui, and now the gap was as wide as a chasm!

The number of viewers in the live stream room had already exceeded one hundred million, and the camera was fixed on Zhuge Tianming. Zhuge Yingyao dared not act rashly. He stared at his child with a ruthless expression.

Zhuge Tianming returned the same gaze! And besides ruthlessness, there was also hatred!

The Zhuge family members, seeing his current location, were filled with even more furious rage. Everyone completely understood that this bastard was here to turn hostile!

Zhuge Tianming walked into a desolate backyard. There were some small infant play facilities there, such as a small slide, a small swimming pool, a small wooden horse, etc., but at this moment, these facilities were covered in dust and dense with cracks, already abandoned. The ground beneath their feet was overgrown with weeds, and scattered on it were some broken beer cans and countless cigarette butts, giving off a slight, disgusting odor, much like Zhuge Tianming's buried childhood.

Everyone in the live stream room was puzzled. How could there be such a place in the Zhuge family, like a junkyard? The Zhuge family was one of the five great families; in the imagination of ordinary people, such a Family shouldn't have such a dirty corner.

But suddenly, a group of viewers inexplicably began to feel sad, because at this moment, the camera was focused on Zhuge Tianming standing on that ruin. He seemed to be standing on his divine kingdom, but this land had now become a ruin, and he, the king, could do nothing but weep.

His eyes were gray, dim, and after forcing a strained smile, he said to the live stream, "This was my childhood paradise."

"My childhood was relatively short; it ended when I was seven."

"A major event happened that year: my talent completely solidified and the test results were excellent—Myth-Grade, Destiny. Everyone knows about these."

"So, I'll talk about some things that everyone doesn't know."

"That day, after my talent was tested, I was ignorant and didn't quite understand what Myth-Grade meant. I only knew that the Family members around me were very excited. Father, that is, you, held me and brought me here to play. Mother was still here then."

"Beast, shut up!" Suddenly, Zhuge Yingyao roared, frightening everyone in the live stream room.

But Zhuge Tianming ignored him and continued indifferently, "It was on this small wooden horse that I saw a glimpse of my father's destiny."

"The night before that day, he had an improper relationship with a certain woman."

"Simply put, he cheated."

As soon as these words were spoken, the live stream room instantly exploded, and Zhuge Yingyao was even more furious, wanting to rush up and hit someone, but the Demon War God stood against him; it wouldn't be surprising what this madman would do.

Zhuge Tianming's face suddenly showed a hint of a happy smile, saying, "Recalling that day was truly beautiful."

"Because that was my last meeting with my mother."

"Funny, isn't it?"

"My father cheated, and as a result, it was my mother who disappeared."

At this point, the smile on Zhuge Tianming's face vanished, and his expression became hideous, like a ghost come to claim a life.

He stared at Zhuge Yingyao, saying hoarsely, one word at a time, "I haven't... seen my mother for eleven years."

"Eleven years!!"

"I don't even know where she went!"

"It's hard for me not to guess, you lunatic! No... no no, I shouldn't be so emotional."

"I should say, is it possible that you, this great father, might have silenced my mother to cover up this ugly matter?"

"Answer me, where is my mother?"

At this moment, the number of viewers in the live stream room had soared to two hundred million. Everyone watching this scene on the screen felt incredible disbelief and a stinging pain in their hearts.

The camera spun around, focusing on Zhuge Yingyao's face.

At this moment, that heroic face had gradually twisted, furious to the point of tightly clenching his fists, and he sharply demanded, "Zhuge Tianming!!"

"Must you do this?"

"Do you have to make things so ugly!?"

Suddenly, Zhuge Tianming lost control and roared, "Where is my mother!!"

Although the father and son were several great Realms apart, at this moment, the mad Zhuge Tianming completely suppressed his cunning father in terms of aura.

Zhuge Yingyao's lips trembled slightly, saying, "I don't know."

"I don't know where she went!"

"Is she still alive?" Zhuge Tianming stared intently at Zhuge Yingyao, roaring, "Is she still alive!!!"

"Where is my mother, is she still alive!!"

The furious roar echoed in the night sky. A sudden clap of thunder struck, illuminating half of Zhuge Tianming's face, the extreme pain in his ferocious eyes now fully revealed to the world.

But Zhuge Yingyao chose to remain silent.

He had already contacted his clansmen to immediately find Bai Duojin and stop this live stream!

If he continued to speak, he would be completely ruined!

He absolutely could not utter another word.

He stared intently at his child, a faint Killing Intent already in his eyes, but then, the Demon War God's more surging Killing Intent instantly overshadowed his, as if telling Zhuge Yingyao, 'You're not messing around today!'

And at this moment, Zhuge Tianming did not notice that among the frantically scrolling dense barrage of comments, there was a cry from his mother.

In a small border town, there was a woman whom all the women in the town envied. She had suddenly arrived in the town eleven years ago, and her stunningly beautiful eyes immediately captivated all the men. Even her name was very poetic, called Yan Nanzhi.

However, she never reciprocated any man's fervent pursuit in a foreign land. Instead, she had a well-known identity: she was the number one fan of the young Genius, Zhuge Tianming.

But people also found it strange. Even though Zhuge Tianming was so radiant on stage, why were her eyes filled with pain and sadness, even to the point of tears?

Because she was Zhuge Tianming's mother. She knew better than anyone how much her precious child was suffering at this moment.

But as a mother, she could do nothing but watch her child sink into endless pain, weeping daily, even developing mental problems. For the past two years, she had to see a psychologist regularly every week.

But the psychologist, after hearing her words, thought she was crazy.

You are Zhuge Tianming's mother?

How is that possible?

When Zhuge Tianming was seven, he hadn't yet appeared before the world, and ordinary people couldn't possibly know what went on inside the Zhuge family.

At this moment, she and her psychologist were watching Zhuge Tianming's live stream together.

Zhang Lili looked at the distraught woman beside her, her face filled with bewilderment.

She felt an incredibly heavy maternal love erupting at this moment.

She... really was Zhuge Tianming's mother!

Zhang Lili abruptly stood up, her sense of responsibility as a doctor rising at this moment. She was also a mother and knew perfectly well how devastated Yan Nanzhi's heart was at this moment.

She felt immense self-reproach and regret for how foolish and how much it must have stung this mother when she had scoffed at Yan Nanzhi's claim of her identity back then!

"I'm buying tickets now! We're going to the Imperial Capital!"

"We're going to find your child!"
