132: Disassociation, the Yang family has nothing to do with me

"Father, why would you do such a thing?

"Didn't you always support the Yang family?

"It was you who told me to acknowledge Yang Yi as my adoptive father."

"Now, why are you abandoning the Yang family?

"This is the Yang family's time of crisis."

"We should draw our swords and help them."

"We should advance and retreat together with the Yang family."

Hearing his son speak so righteously, Zhong Mingyis father sighed.

He placed the food box in front of his son and watched him silently.

Seeing what seemed like tears welling up in his son's eyes, his father was even more surprised.

He understood his son very well, especially the son he used to be.

Although his son wasn't a ruthless person, he wasn't soft-hearted either.

He had killed many people before and committed many bad deeds.

Yet, at this moment, he was actually shedding tears.

How deep were his feelings for the Yang family?

When his father was sick previously, his son hadn't shed a single tear.

Could it be that he truly regarded Yang Yi as his own father?

This made his father feel a little jealous.

His son was still asking him why he would do such a thing.

Zhong Mingyi looked at his somewhat frantic son, gently patted his shoulder, and sat down on the steps.

The sunlight spilled onto him, making him appear to have an extra layer of brilliance, extremely magnificent.

But now, Zhong Mingyi felt his father had changed, becoming someone he didn't recognize.

Especially in the extremely luxurious clothes he wore, more beautiful and extravagant than an emperor's Dragon robe.

He remembered Yang Yi once saying that if you want to know if someone has ambition, just look at their attire.

Seeing his father's clothes, he suddenly realized that his father was a person with immense ambition.

But he didn't understand, even if his father had ambition, why would he treat the Yang family this way?

Everyone knew the Yang family and their Family had a very good relationship.

If he did something disloyal, who would be willing to help him in the future?

How would his ambition be realized then?

"Do you know why I told you to acknowledge Yang Yi as your adoptive father?" Zhong Mingyis father looked into the distance and suddenly asked.

The angry Zhong Mingyi gradually calmed down and sat obediently beside his father, like a lamb.

If he were a girl, he would lean his head on his father's shoulder at this moment, but he was a male, so he didn't do that.

"Weren't you trying to make me learn things from my adoptive father?"

Zhong Mingyis father frowned, looking at the broken utensils on the ground with a bit of heartache.

"Such good things," he sighed, "just smashed by you.

"Fortunately, our Family lacks nothing.

"If this were an ordinary household, smashing these things would cost who knows how much money."

"There are many things you can learn from Yang Yi, and you've learned well.

"You haven't disappointed me.

"But you also learned things from him that you shouldn't have.

"That disappoints me greatly."

"What did I learn from him that I shouldn't have?" Zhong Mingyi picked up a shard and gently held it before his eyes.

Under the sunlight, the shard shimmered.

"I just saw tears in your eyes.

"Are you crying for the Yang family?"

Zhong Mingyi was stunned, recalling his actions just now, and was also a little surprised.

He hadn't expected himself to have such deep feelings for the Yang family.

But thinking of the scenes he had experienced in the Yang family, he couldn't help but wipe the corner of his eye.

Indeed, there was a trace of tears.

In the Yang family, he experienced emotions he had never felt before.

He used to have friends, but they were all fair-weather friends.

However, in the Yang family, he genuinely made a few friends he could entrust his life to, like Yang Ming.

Although they often bickered, he regarded Yang Ming as his best friend, and Yang Ming felt the same way.

He even experienced a kind of fatherly love in the Yang family.

Although Yang Yi didn't explicitly give him fatherly love, he always felt that Yang Yi's concern was not much different from fatherly love.

It was that kind of silent yet invisible love.

He had a special affection for the Yang family.

He regarded the Yang family as another home.

When something happened at home, how could he ignore it?

That's why he insisted on going back.

"Are you afraid of Diancang Sect?" Zhong Mingyi suddenly asked.

Zhong Mingyis father sighed.

"Diancang Sect is one of the Twelve Sects of Yun Province.

"How could I not be afraid?"

"The Zhang Family is one thing.

"After all, they are just a Family.

"They can't cause too much trouble.

"I have my own ways to deal with them.

"But Diancang Sect is different.

"Do you know who calls the shots in Yun Province?"

Zhong Mingyi remained silent.

Since his father asked that, it already explained the situation.

The entire Twelve Sects of Yun Province held the power.

"If you offend them, there's no possibility of living in Yun Province.

"Diancang Sect is also among the top-ranked existences within the Twelve Sects.

"If you offend them, the destruction of the Yang family is absolute.

"But we cannot be implicated because of the Yang family.

"So, we must quickly distance ourselves from them."

"I don't want you to die with the Yang family."

As he spoke, he silently looked back at his son, a hint of seriousness in his expression.

"Now do you understand?"

Zhong Mingyi showed a bitter smile, which also carried a hint of coldness.

"You and Yang Yi are truly different."

"Why was the Yang family able to rise?

"It's because of Yang Yi's powerful strength.

"It's because he is fearless."

"Even when facing the Zhang Family, who are several times stronger than them, they can still resist.

"Even when facing Diancang Sect, they dare to throw an egg at a rock.

"But you don't have his ambition.

"However, your ambition is greater than his.

"But without ambition, how can you make your ambition a reality?

"If you don't even have the courage to challenge a strong enemy, I'm afraid you will achieve nothing."

Hearing his son's words, Zhong Mingyis father couldn't help but burst into laughter, heavily patting his son's shoulder.

He was both gratified and a little exasperated.

Is this what he learned from Yang Yi?

Now he even dared to defy his words and even lecture him.

What a good son!

He really learned great skills from Yang Yi; he even dared to challenge his own father.

"You're right," he said, "but there's a saying: 'bide your time.'

"When you don't have strong enough power, you can't be too aggressive.

"Yang Yi is too arrogant, that's why he keeps provoking strong enemies."

His eyes gleamed with a cold light.

"Sentiment.

"To become a great person, you cannot be too sentimental.

"Look at how you were just now.

"You were yelling at me for the sake of the Yang family."
