The evening wind was refreshing, however; it was not to Chen Gu, who was currently 19 years old. He was now lying down outside his manor, White Whale Manor, hunger stricken. When Chen Gu looked inside his manor, he could see his supposedly Seventh brother, who came from the same womb as him, sitting in a chair that was supposed to be his, drinking tea from a cup that was supposed to be his, and even being served by servants that were also supposed to be his.
Of course Chen Gu was angry, but what could he do? Tough he was the Sixth Prince of the Royal Family of the Yang Empire, he was just a cripple that couldn't cultivate at all. So what if he was Prince? In the world he lived in, those without power were always treated as trash, no matter who they are or were. Not to mention that, since he couldn't cultivate, he, the Sixth Prince, was not allowed to carry the same last name as the Royal Family. He was viewed as a disgrace on the side of the Royal Family, even his own mother didn't accept him as her son, not allowing Chen Gu to even carry her maiden name.
So, he was sent to a family of a commanding general of the royal army, who was not fortunate enough to have a successor. The General's name was Chen Yuan, and he was the one who gave Chen Gu his last name. Chen Gu was being treated like a genuine son by the General, and things were going great, until; the Commanding General Chen Yuan passed away in the most recent war.
Taking advantage of this, Yang Qiu, the Seventh Prince who had just became an adult by the age of 16, took over as the master of the White Whale Manor. He was now in the Late Xiantian Master Realm, making the difference between Chen Gu and him akin to the difference heaven and earth. From the moment Yang Qiu entered the manor, every servant of the manor greeted him as their new master. This normally wouldn't affect Chen Gu, who was still mourning for the death of The General.
"Take this trash out of my house, even thinking about breathing in the same building as him disgusts me." was what Yang Qiu said. No servant was brave enough to defy the new master of their house, and some kindly asked Chen Gu to leave.
Chen Gu was not a stupid person. He knew that if he were to cause some troubles, he would be beaten to death by his brother. He looked at his "father"(the general)'s portrait one last time, and made his way to the door. Just as he was passing by Yang Qiu, his brother suddenly spitted in his face.
Chen Gu still kept his calm in front of the obvious provocations of the former and just went for the door. Then again, he had no where to go, and no money to even rent a single room at an inn, so he just sat right next to the place which was once his home, and started to wait until morning.
