I Have A Qi Fortune Altar.
Chapter 453 - 453 366 Father (With Extra)_3

Chapter 453: Chapter 366 Father!!! (With Extra)_3 Chapter 453: Chapter 366 Father!!! (With Extra)_3 “Get dressed!”

Ouyang Zhi’s gaze sharpened, a hint of ferocity spreading out.

At such a time, how could he continue to rest?

Upon being reprimanded, the two maids no longer dared obstruct him and hastily helped Ouyang Zhi into his clothes.

Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Zhi grabbed the Spirit Sword beside him and, brimming with anger, swiftly headed towards the small courtyard where Chen Yuan resided.

Red Silk and Sister Qing exchanged a look, wanting to follow and watch the excitement but also afraid to, fearing they might stumble upon something disgraceful and be silenced by others.

“Bang!!!”

Ouyang Zhi directly slashed the door open and stepped inside, just in time to see Lady Xu, already dressed, lying on the bed and sensing the scent of siblings in the room, his eyes immediately reddened.

“Mother!!!”

Ouyang Zhi shouted loudly.

Turning her head, Lady Xu saw that Ouyang Zhi had awakened and her face lit up with joy:

“Zhi, when did you awake?”

Ouyang Zhi quickly walked up and knelt before Lady Xu:

“Mother, how can you willingly serve a thief?”

In his view, it must have been Chen Yuan’s coercion; otherwise, given her longstanding disinterest in men, she could not possibly stay here willingly.

Moreover, it was surely for him.

Lady Xu frowned slightly, subconsciously glanced outside the door, and whispered:

“It was I who served him willingly.”

“What!”

Ouyang Zhi’s eyes widened, disbelieving what he saw before him; he could not believe it was not Chen Yuan’s coercion but his mother’s voluntariness!

“Why?”

He was puzzled.

Lady Xu organized her thoughts and spoke the words she had prepared:

“For the safety of my son.”

“I’d rather not live such a dishonorable life!”

This was indeed a great humiliation.

“What nonsense are you talking, do you really want the Ouyang family lineage to end?” Lady Xu glared at him.

“But this….”

“Zhi, don’t be too angry, listen to your mother explain….”

Then, Lady Xu told Ouyang Zhi the whole story, about the God Control Gu affair, that this was an opportunity she had fought for their safety.

With Chen Yuan’s character, if he could not trust them, they would inevitably meet their deaths.

She had to become his person.

“An opportunity?”

Ouyang Zhi murmured.

“Indeed, that Evil Blade has already been taken by Chen Yuan, so don’t harbor any thoughts about it, Zhi. The slightest covetousness will certainly provoke Chen Yuan’s fury.

Without the Divine Weapons to aid, the Ouyang clan will struggle not just to restore the family but even to survive.

Chen Yuan is exceptionally talented, possesses a firm heart in martial arts, and has a mysterious method to seize the Evil Blade, his future prospects are undoubtedly difficult to estimate. Following in his footsteps is a viable option.”

“I willingly serve him; it is also to seek a great future for us, mother and son.” Lady Xu spoke earnestly.

“You think so highly of him?”

Ouyang Zhi contained his anger.

“Indeed, this man definitely possesses great Qi Fortune, and he is bound to be a top figure in Jianghu in the future. Serving such a being is an honor for your mother.”

Lady Xu kept instilling these notions into Ouyang Zhi to quench his anger.

He could feel that Chen Yuan was a suspicious person who had already not trusted them much. If Ouyang Zhi maintained such a resentful demeanor, he would definitely not survive the day.

Even she might be implicated as well.

Heroes, for the most part, are ruthless.

“Mother, do you… like him?”

Ouyang Zhi couldn’t help but ask.

“A little, Zhi, perhaps you do not understand, but I want to make it clear to you today, when I married your father, it was actually to take care of you,”

“The two of us actually have no relationship. These years, I thought I could stay by your side, alone until my end, but since fate brought me to Chen Yuan, I can no longer continue to be alone… Can you understand?”

“I… understand.”

Although he was reluctant to admit it, he could see some of his mother’s thoughts.

“Jianghu is dangerous, and now there are signs of troubled times. You and I, mother and son, must find a powerful support to rely on, not only for your mother but also for you.”

“Will Chen Yuan marry you?”

“No, he may not even give me a legitimate status.” Lady Xu felt this needed to be made clear, otherwise there would definitely be trouble.

After those unspeakable events, Lady Xu’s mindset also gradually began to change….

“This…”

For some reason, Ouyang Zhi actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Not for anything else, but if Chen Yuan had given his mother a status, what should he call Chen Yuan?

“How should I address him in the future?” Ouyang Zhi hung his head.

Having been educated by Lady Xu, the anger in Ouyang Zhi’s heart had dissipated and was transforming.

“However you address me as your mother, you should address him in the same way.”

“What?”

Ouyang Zhi suddenly raised his head:

“Chen Yuan… is younger than me, how can I call him… father.”

“Ambition is not constrained by youth, Zhi, you need to understand this. Chen Yuan now has the bearing of a hero, and it is beneficial for you to establish a relationship now.”

“Besides… if you call him father, can’t it also be said that your father took away the Evil Blade, after all, it is still your Ouyang Family’s.”

Ouyang Zhi was stunned, he had never thought it could be understood this way.

Chen Yuan stole his opportunity, married his mother, became his father, which also means Chen Yuan is part of the Ouyang Family… Why does it feel so wrong.

“This….”

“Chen Yuan is a reliable person, Zhi, listen to your mother, would your mother harm you?” Lady Xu pretended to be angry.

“My child understands.”

After a long while, Ouyang Zhi took a deep breath.

He… was persuaded.

Of course, part of the reason was that he both respected and feared Chen Yuan. His somewhat crazed approach with a sword had been due to his rage.

Actually, he had a bit of regret the moment he burst through the door.

Now, after being ‘brainwashed’ by Lady Xu, Ouyang Zhi’s transformation was not so strange.

This world ultimately respects martial power, and recognizing a thief as one’s father was not unheard of.

Outside, Chen Yuan looked at the broken door with narrowed eyes, walked in expressionlessly, and just saw Ouyang Zhi kneeling in front of Lady Xu.

At the same time, Ouyang Zhi turned his head and saw the expressionless Chen Yuan, his heart suddenly leapt, sensing an extremely terrifying aura.

It quickly reminded him of the slight fear he felt when previously subduing the Evil Blade.

The seed of fear was forever in his heart.

“Child greets father!”

Ouyang Zhi did not need any hint from Lady Xu, he smoothly knelt down.

Chen Yuan gave him a glance, smiled and said:

“Brother Ouyang, don’t worry, from now on, we each have our own standing.”

“Not possible, father, propriety must not be abandoned, a father for a day, a father for a lifetime, from now on, I am a son at father’s knees.”

Chen Yuan looked at him with a half-smile:

“Well then, have it your way.”
