Chapter 714: Chapter 447 Feigned Death

The sunlight was warm and gentle, and a mild breeze ruffled the surface of the pond in the courtyard, creating ripples upon ripples.

Time passed in silence, minute by minute, second by second.

Under the scrutiny of those three watchful gazes, Xu Yuan felt a momentary urge to retreat back into his room and shut the door.

Although he knew he was absolutely safe now, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t get a beating.

After a moment of silence,

Xu Yuan braced himself, took a step forward, and with a strained smile, ventured tentatively,

"Father, what is this about?"

"...."

As his voice sounded, Xu Yinhè and Feng Jiuxuan exchanged glances, each seeing a sense of relief in the other’s eyes.

As family members, sometimes a single glance could convey a great deal.

It was indeed Changtian who had awakened, not the creature from before.

Thinking this, Feng Jiuxuan took a step forward with a smile in his eyes, "Changtian...."

"Buzz!"

As he began to speak, a humming noise abruptly cut him off.

Watching the young man pull out the Willow Ghost Blade, Feng Jiuxuan’s expression turned odd as he raised an eyebrow.

"..."

Glancing at the Willow Ghost Blade he’d unconsciously drawn and then at his uncle with that amused look, Xu Yuan swallowed and silently sheathed the blade.

Although he didn’t know how much time had passed in the outside world since he fell unconscious, the memories of his uncle’s rampage felt like they had just happened.

And so, when his gaze met his uncle’s, dressed in white as snow, he felt an instinctual, stress-induced muscular memory in his body.

"Cough."

With a light cough, Xu Yinhè patted Feng Jiuxuan’s shoulder gently, signaling him to inquire.

Feng Jiuxuan’s eyes narrowed thoughtfully as he sighed lightly, then his figure instantly vanished from the courtyard.

It seemed the boy retained that memory...

Feng Jiuxuan’s visit was to check on his condition. Now that he had awakened, although there remained many questions, there was no longer a need to stay.

After all, he had indeed been somewhat heavy-handed before.

As Feng Jiuxuan left, Xu Yuan gradually relaxed his tense body.

The beating from his uncle, after more than a decade, had once again left him with a psychological shadow.

For the moment, only the father and his two sons remained in the courtyard.

Xu Changge still stood atop the wall.

Xu Yuan stood in the shadows beneath the eaves.

Xu Yinhè, his expression gentle, bathed in the sunlight.

Xu Yuan glanced at his elder brother standing on the wall, his dark sleeves fluttering in the wind, and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

This Xu Changge, as ever, had a flair for the dramatic,

Next time, he might as well stand on a streetlight.

As he thought this, his father’s steady voice reached him,

"Changtian, how are you feeling now?"

Since Lou Ji and that transformed Saint from the Geometry Institute stabilized Changtian’s condition with their manpower and resources, and sent him back to the inner court of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, it had been his duty, alongside Feng Jiuxuan, to rotate in checking on the boy’s physical state.

It was terrible.

His life was hanging by a thread, sustained only by the power that had merged from Life Origin and Yin Source.

Xu Yinhè had thought that until the Saint named Luo Xiran presented his research findings, Changtian would remain in such a state, sprawled on the bed. But unexpectedly, he had awakened today.

Upon hearing his father’s question, Xu Yuan did not hide anything, carefully choosing his words before replying in a low voice,

"Hmm... there have been some changes in my body."

While speaking, Xu Yuan lifted his hand and spread it before Xu Yinhè and Xu Changge, when suddenly a strand of black Origin Qi appeared in his palm.

Xu Yinhè studied it for a few breaths, then instructed Xu Changge, who was standing atop the wall,

"Changge, try using the Origin Qi."

Xu Yuan’s eyebrows rose, not quite grasping the meaning behind his father’s words before a blue blur had already appeared in front of him.

Looking at his younger brother, Xu Changge raised his forefinger expressionlessly, and a strand of white, crystalline Origin Qi shot out, hitting the strand of black Origin Qi in Xu Yuan’s palm with precision.

At the moment the two forces of Origin Qi came into contact,

"Sizzle...."

A teeth-grittingly corrosive sound broke the silence and warmth of the courtyard.

Seeing this unfold, Xu Yuan subconsciously opened his mouth, excitement flickering in his narrow eyes.

He had now inherited the powers from his past rampage; this black Origin Qi was the very membrane that had deconstructed the Origin Qi and spellcraft of others!

Instinctively,

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Changge, his gaze filled with eagerness to try.

Meeting this look, Xu Changge first appeared puzzled, then wryly curved the corner of his mouth, swiftly pointing at Xu Yuan’s Dantian with his finger.

The next moment,

Xu Yuan felt half of the black Origin Qi in his Dantian cleared out.

"......" Xu Yuan.

"Changge." Xu Yinhè frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Changge slowly removed his finger and said nothing. He patted his younger brother’s shoulder, sighed, shook his head, and turned to walk straight out of the courtyard.

Glaring at his retreating figure, Xu Yuan seethed with irritation.

One day, he would have his revenge.

Now that his "hardware" could be said to be the best in the world, beating Xu Changge was just a matter of time.

As he contemplated, Xu Yuan extended his spiritual sight towards Xu Changge, who was moving away from the scene.
