People in the area that was ruled by the Song Clan celebrated the collapse of Song Wuyang’s force. Those who had been bullied and suppressed by Song Wuyang’s men were all so excited about how heavens brought them justice.
Some people went to the gate of the Song Clan house and kowtowed to the elders to show their gratitude.
The leadership of Song Clan just felt utterly ashamed.
Before this, they knew Song Wuyang and his men were not being nice to the citizens. They just didn’t know it was so serious. They didn’t know people hated them so much.
When the elders saw the people coming to show gratitude continually, they felt so disgraced. They wondered why the Song Clan, which used to be the protector of this land, had become a local tyrant to the people?
They even needed some outsiders to correct their faults and kill Song Wuyang and his men. The internal conflict could never work out a better outcome. Justice might have never arrived in the clan.
They felt ashamed to accept the gratitude of the people they should have been protecting.
While the elders were sitting there being kowtowed, they felt uncomfortable…
The longer they stayed in such an atmosphere, the nicer they were when they looked at Song Xuan.
[Good kid. He has a bright future.]
Suddenly, Ye Xiao, the powerful and mysterious man in the elders’ eyes, abruptly asked something that the elders would never thought of!
Is Uncle Song, Song Jue, in the house?
Ye Xiao smiled and asked,
If he is, could you please tell him I want to meet him? I should go pay him a visit since he is older than me. But… I don’t think the current situation allows me to. Please, can you send for him?
Song Jue? Uncle Song?
The elders nearly got their eyes popped out of their eye frames. They looked at Ye Xiao and couldn’t believe what he had said!
After a while, they were enlightened. [This young man acted against Song Wuyang and cured Song Xuan… because he knew Song Jue!]
[Why does Song Jue have such a powerful friend?]
When they looked at Song Xuan, their eyes had different lights now.
Apparently, what Ye Xiao had done was to make a stage for him.
[He said he was destined to meet Song Xuan and he favors Song Xuan. That was his excuse. The real reason is… Song Jue got to make friends with such a powerful figure in the past!]
[This time, maybe, his powerful friend didn’t come to help but sent his son to support Song Jue…]
[This is such a powerful support!]
[It turns out Song Jue is the most influential figure in our clan.]
[This young man seems to be utterly powerful, yet he actually called Song Jue… Uncle Song? With respect?]
Suddenly, the elders were all astonished. They were wordless. At the same time, they felt upset.
If they knew Song Jue had such powerful connections, if they knew Song Jue had a friend who was powerful enough to make an impact to the world, they would never let Song Wuyang do those filthy things in the past!
If Song Jue’s brother was still the chief of the clan, maybe… Song Clan would never be in any despairing situation.
In fact, Song Clan might not just be free from problems but also rule the entire Oracle District!
However… the entire clan had forced Song Jue and his brother to a dead end. Song Jue’s powerful support actually showed up at such time…
It was such an embarrassing moment for Song Clan!
Ye Xiao was smiling. He looked at those elders being embarrassed. He felt it funny.
After what happened, he reckoned, Song Jue would be safely put in that highest chair in the Song Clan.
He couldn’t kill all those people after all…
Song Clan was a big force in the Oracle District. Song Jue and Song Xuan were not enough to be influential enough in this place!
He figured he should leave everything else to Song Jue afterwards.
He believed after what happened, Song Jue would become the ruler of the entire Song Clan. Nobody could fight it.
Song Jue got to do whatever he wanted to.
Ye Xiao thought that he shouldn’t worry too much for Song Jue!
…
In the backyard.
Song Jue was holding a chicken drumstick in one hand and a liquor pot in the other, eating and drinking. How enjoyable! In fact, he looked a bit frustrated.
Song Jue had never thought that his elder brother would be repealed from the chief’s chair because of him until he returned to the realm and saw the truth.
For so many years, there had been resources that were sent regularly to Ye Nantian from Ye Clan as a comfort. However, Song Jue had never received anything from the Song Clan. Nobody from Ye Clan had ever paid him a visit. Song Jue used to say he didn’t care about that. In fact, he did. When he returned to the realm… he got to know the reason. His brother did want to see him down the lower world, but he was in trouble himself.
His brother was repealed because of what Song Jue had done. Not long after that, his brother was poisoned. That reduced nine out of ten of his cultivation. His nephew, Song Xuan, who used to be so talented, became useless…
Song Jue had given up on his clan. He even wanted to destroy the entire clan!
Song Jue had some supreme dan beads which Ye Xiao gave him before he returned. He wasn’t sure whether they could fully cure his brother and nephew, but he believed it would help. However, after giving a second thought, he convinced himself not to try it.
Supreme dan beads were marvelous treasures for them. If his brother and nephew suddenly recovered after he returned, everybody would know it was him who did that.
He was much more powerful than he used to be, but he was still not the most powerful one in the Song Clan!
That was why he decided to wait. He didn’t want anybody to keep an eye on him.
He was waiting till the day he was more powerful to handle all those chaotic situations…
He had the dan beads that might cure his people, but he had to not use them. Song Jue was such a man of humanity. He suffered from it!
When he heard there were people messing with the Song Clan out there, he just ignored it.
In fact, he felt great that somebody finally started to make trouble for the Song Clan.
That was great!
He would rather let some powerful figures destroy the entire Song Clan. He would love it.
[What point does it have to keep this filthy clan alive in the world?]
