9 YUE YI

[Is this a joke? Were they pranking me?], Yue Huang was filled with doubts but he didn't dare to open his mouth as he swiftly ran into the city. He no longer wished in being around these bunch of thick-headed bloodthirsty guards .

Now that Yue Huang knew that he had been set up by Yue Song, he decided to give the latter his just desserts!

Although Yue Huang wished to go and beat up Yue Song with his own hands, he knew that it was impossible. The latter was a cultivator whereas he, himself, was just a debauchee.

[No, that's not right. It was the previous owner of the body that was a debauchee!], Yue Huang corrected himself inwardly.

[But who said that I'm powerless? My dad is an elder in the family! I will make that Song guy know what it means to have a background.]

Yue Huang knew that his 'father' tremendously doted on him. If he were to just say a few shady lines regarding Yue Song, one could only imagine the disaster that would befall Yue Song.

Yue Huang proceeded towards the the 'Saint-crossing' courtyard, this was the resting quarters of Yue family.

...

Inside a chamber, there was a lamp still burning and a middle-aged man with greying side hair was busy writing down a bunch of reports.

A fair decent-looking youth having long smooth black hair up till his waist crept inside the chamber and silently came behind the middle-aged man and sent a hand chop right towards his head!

Under the dim-light of the lamp, a smile could be seen on the middle-aged man's face as he suddenly disappeared and appeared right behind the youth and tripped him down.

"Father..!", the youth mumbled with mixed emotions but managed to look as if he had been wronged.

The youth was none other than Yue Huang, he was trying his best to act like the 'original' Yue Huang but whenever he said the word: 'Father', he remembered his own father on Earth who didn't care for him and was harsh on his mother but the man before him was a great father who doted on his child a lot. Although Yue Huang was not truly his son as his son was dead, but it didn't change the fact that since he had been reincarnated into this body, this man could indeed be said to be his father now.

Yue Huang didn't know what it was like to have the love and affection of his father on Earth but as he looked at the loving and caring eyes of the middle-aged man as he looked at him, Yue Huang felt loved. He felt as if he could still feel that familial love that he had for his mother back on Earth.

"Father..", Yue Huang said, his voice a bit choked.

The middle-aged man directly hit lightly onto Yue Huang's head and scolded, "Weren't you told that entering the city is off-limits at night? You almost got beheaded! "

It was only then did Yue Huang realized what actually happened at the gates!

[So it was father that helped me out? Truly it feels great to be doted upon.]

But Yue Huang didn't forget his goal. Since someone tried to throw dirt at him, he would ensure that certain someone would be buried alive!

"Father, that Yue Song encouraged me to come at night! He even didn't tell me about the city's curfew.", Yue Huang said as he looked into Yue Yi's eyes pitifully.

Yue Yi's brows shot up in fury, "Yue Song?! What a daring b*stard!"

"Little Hu, go back to your room to sleep. Leave everything to me. ", Yue Yi said as he went back into writing his reports.

Seeing that what he desired had happened, Yue Huang went back to his allotted room to sleep. He knew that Yue Song would probably have a hard life starting now. Yue Song was in the end, a branch disciple whereas he, himself was a main disciple! Not forgetting his father who was an elder and also from main-lineage of the family.

[This Yue Song is truly desperate. Once this plan of his failed, it was bound that he would suffer immensely. Given how righteous the Yue Family is, he would be killed right-off if this incident was reported to the higher-ups.]

As Yue Huang was thinking along those lines, he suddenly felt like slapping himself.

[Isn't father, who is an elder also a higher-up?! Yue Song really stabbed himself in the groin this time! ]

Yue Huang felt no pity towards this cousin of his, the moment he realized how the latter schemed to get him killed, it was already set in stone that his life would be forfeit when the incident got exposed.

[The novels didn't lie, having a great background is indeed a good thing~]
