Remembering the past

Chen Lan lowered his head as resolution rose in his heart.

Chen Lan was born in an ordinary family in the Su Shi County. His father, Chen Luxin, was in the Yin City of the Hu Kong Province. His mother, on the other hand, hailed from a prominent household in the Jan Yin City.

Both met at college, and they fell in love quickly, despite the disagreement from Tang Family. The overall sentiment of the society was hostile towards marriage without the parents' arrangement. particularly It was true in a prestigious old family such as the Tangs.

After the purpose of stopping the marriage failed, Chen Lan's

grandfather did the unexpected by denouncing his own daughter.

In a fit of rage, Tang Xiaoyun left her parents with her husband and settled in Hu Kong Province.

In order to prove his worth to the Tang Family, Chen Lexin didn't choose to stay in the populated cities where Tang Family's influence was strong; instead, he had moved to Su Shi County and started working as public servant.

Chen Lexin worked for the county for a few decades, and never tried to seek advantage

using his connection with the mighty Wang Family. He had worked his way up from his first low-ranking position to the management level, but it was still a too low from the expectation of the Wang family.

The tension between the two sides finally started to ease after Chen Lan was born. Chen Lan's grandfather allowed the couple to visit during the New Year. However, unknown to the couple, what awaited them at the Tang Family were cold sneers and disdain.

The entire family of the Tang's had alway considered Chen Lan's parents a taint on their reputation. They had disrespected the will of the family head and gave birth to a son who had brought nothing but only shame to the Tang family.

As for Chen Lexin's achievement in the county, it was pathetic in their eyes.

The thought brought a bitter taste to Chen Lan's mouth. He shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Tang Zen, I bet you had never believe I will be back from the future!"

"My family had worked hard to

reach up to the level of you and your parents, but in the end, we are still worthless in your eyes."

"My mother was a proud person, and she could not stand being looked down upon. That was why she worked so hard, but what did she get? Nothing!"

"I swore I would avenge my mother. I Know I am an ordinary person right now,but once I got my power back, I will be coming for you first. I will show you what it feels like to be looked down upon and to be crushed like a worm."

Tang Zen was Chen Lan's cousin. He was the most favoured child of the great family Tang. In Chen Lan's last life, he had

tried everything to catch up with Tang Zen but failed. The gap between them was just too wide.

The last time that Chen Lan saw any visitor from Tang Family was during his mother's funeral. As if the Tang Family thought the death of Chen Lan's mother was not painful enough for the young man, they had to gloat over the tragedy and sent only a few young person's to attend the funeral. No one from the older generation of the Tang Family had come to pay their respect to their own blood; not his grandfather, uncles, or grandmother.

To rub salt into the wounds, one of the visitors was Tang Zen. Tang Zen acted as if he was walking on the red carpet instead of attending his aunt's funeral. Surrounded by his entourage, his steps carried such a proud quality.

He was always in the spotlight, wherever he went, he received attention and respect, regardless of the circumstances.

Although it had been two hundred years, the thought of the Tang family still lit up the knot of fire in Chen Lan's belly. This memory was venomous to a cultivator such as Chen Lan.

Without coming to terms with the past, the cultivator would be vulnerable to the attacks of the devious mental demons. A small mistake would lay waste to thousands of years of hard work.

Looking out the window, the familiar scenery of the Zhu Shou City filled Chen Lan's heart with nostalgia.

The thought reminded him of Xiao Quo.

He had loved that girl with all his heart, and she loved him, but that was not how their love story ended. Unfortunately, his love for her had turned into an obsession which ultimately ruined his cultivation.

The mental demons had used her image to weaken his mind during their battle. One look of her face was enough to render him useless

"Wen Jun! You had stole from me of my fortune and the love

of my life! You had forced me to return to the county where I came from. You sat on your throne while I licked my wounds like a dog." The thought made Chen Lan's blood boil.

Wen Jun was the MD of the Ganrong Group, a real estate industry, and he was the son of the richest man in the Zu Kong Province.

He was also Chen Lan's greatest rival in love. Not only

had he stolen Xiao Quo from Chen Lan, but he had also contributed to the fall of his mother's company: the Splendor Co Group.

"Xiao-Quo and I had a crush on each other ever since we were little, and we started dating when we met again at university after a long time of separation. Unfortunately, you had stolen her away from me."

"The last time I met Xiao-Quo was at a party where I heard about her engagement to no other person than you. I did not expect you to understand how I felt back then, but I

promise you I will make pay!"

It has been two hundred years, and he should have already come to terms with what had happened. However, every single word that came out from Chen Lan's mouth carried a bone-chilling intent that threatened to claim souls.

"I will never forget the moment right before I decided to let go of my life. From that moment on, the old me is dead,

and the new me was born.

"Wen Jun, Fang Family, Tang Family, and Tang Zen, I have return to pay you back all the humiliation and suffering back to you in kind."
