Chapter 749: Chapter 749: A Request_1

"Young Master Yu, I know you have grievances in your heart, but you must understand your mother. When she escaped from the Cloud Ocean Cage, she broke the tribal rules. According to these rules, she could be sentenced to death." said the old woman with grey eyes.

"What kind of damn tribal rules... the thing I hate most are these stupid rules." Su Chengyu retorted disdainfully.

"Every nation has its laws; every family has its rules. The Cloud Tribe is an ancient clan that has been passed down for thousands of years. If it weren’t for strict tribal rules, wouldn’t it have descended into chaos long ago?" argued the old woman with grey eyes.

Su Chengyu had always scoffed at these rules of the prominent clans and didn’t want to go into a lengthy discussion, so he asked: "And then?"

"Your mother returned to the Cloud Tribe with a determination to die, so she confessed her guilt without uttering another word. Later, the Chief of the Yu Clan personally came to propose marriage for his son. Among the nine ancient clans, the Yu Clan is superior to the Cloud Tribe. They also offered very generous marriage terms. So, our chief accepted it, spared her from execution under tribal laws, and married her off to the Yu Clan."

Su Chengyu frowned: "Did my mother not object? If she was set on dying, she wouldn’t agree to this marriage arrangement so easily, right?"

"Your mother has a strong personality and was devoted to your father. Initially, she refused to agree and preferred death. But after meeting Yu Dingzhi, somehow, he managed to persuade her, and she agreed. Thus, the Cloud Tribe and the Yu Clan formed an alliance through marriage. She married Yu Dingzhi, and I accompanied her to the Yu Clan." said the old woman with grey eyes.

Su Chengyu sneered slightly, "Devoted? If she was truly devoted, why did she leave my father and abandon me before I was even a year old? Then she turned around and married someone else, even had another son. Perhaps she thought I was a failure, unworthy of being her son, so she wanted to have another one!"

"Young Master Feng, you must not think like that. I do not know the specific details of the events back then, and your mother never speaks of it. But I know her—she was willing to die for your father, defying her tribe’s laws. If that’s not true love, then what is?

"Since she moved to the Yu Clan, she has never forgotten you. She misses you every moment. Later, she asked me to go out and look for you. Throughout these twenty-plus years, I’ve searched almost the entire Xia Country, even the neighboring Bei Luo Empire and Da Bang Country. Your mother truly loves you and cares about you a lot," said the old woman with grey eyes.

"Then why didn’t she come to see me?" Su Chengyu asked.

"She cannot leave the Yu Clan; moreover, your mother insisted that your existence must not be known to others. Otherwise, you’d be in grave danger," responded the old woman with grey eyes.

"How did Yu Feng find out?" Su Chengyu questioned.

"He overheard a conversation between your mother and me, and thus learned of your existence. It’s also why your mother asked me to keep a close eye on Young Master Feng’s movements. Else, how could I have arrived just in time to save you? It was my negligence that almost cost you your life. Had something happened to you, I would not be able to redeem myself," she said, tears sparkling in her eyes.

Su Chengyu could see that the old woman with grey eyes truly cared about him and felt guilty. It was genuine affection from an old woman who had been searching for him for over twenty years.

"Granny, you don’t have to blame yourself. I’m alright, aren’t I?" Su Chengyu said.

Yun Xiuhua wiped away her tears and held Su Chengyu’s hand, "Young Master Yu, you cannot stay here any longer. Otherwise, you will be in great danger. Young Master Feng will likely not let the matter rest. Given your current level, you’re far from his match."

Su Chengyu frowned, feeling somewhat inferior when he thought about his half-brother from the same mother.

He had always believed he had an extraordinary aptitude for cultivation, and his progress was not slow. Yet he was almost killed by Bei Tang Qi Meng and Yu Feng, which inflicted no small blow to his confidence.

He was not overly surprised about Bei Tang Qi Meng. After all, she was over forty years old. But Yu Feng was only in his early twenties and was already a Golden Core Realm expert, which made Su Chengyu feel somewhat ashamed.

How could he catch up with Yu Feng’s cultivation level? It’s no wonder Yu Feng disparaged him and referred to him as trash.

Seeing Su Chengyu’s feelings of inferiority, Yun Xiuhua comforted him: "Young Master Yu, you don’t have to be so disheartened. Young Master Feng possesses the ancient clan’s heritage. People of the ancient clan are born with talents that ordinary people cannot touch, let alone compare to, when it comes to cultivation."

"Aren’t I also a person from the ancient clan? Why don’t I have such talent? I guess, in the end, my skills are inferior and there’s nothing much to say," Su Chengyu stated.

Yun Xiuhua patted the back of Su Chengyu’s hand: "No, no, no. Even though people of the same ancient clan have inherited the bloodline, those who cultivate outside of the clan and those who cultivate within the clan are very different. You are at a tremendous advantage when cultivating within the clan."

"Oh? What’s the difference in cultivating within the ancient clan?" Su Chengyu asked curiously.

"Firstly, the spiritual energy of nature within the Cave Heaven of the ancient clan is incomparable to what you find outside. Secondly, the ancient clan has a lot of Spirit Pills and precious medicinal herbs. Most importantly, each of the nine ancient clans has an ancestral temple. Cultivating in the ancestral temple can unleash the potential of your inherited bloodline enabling you to make tremendous progress in a singular day. Young Master Feng has undergone three tributes in the ancestral temple, which has given him his current cultivation level and allowed him to look down on his peers."

Having heard Yun Xiuhua’s explanation, Su Chengyu was a little more at ease. The people of the ancient clan, they really were a group of privileged cheats!

They had far superior talents, coupled with tributes to the ancestral temple, it’s no wonder the so-called geniuses of the outside world couldn’t catch up with them.

Su Chengyu pondered: "It seems that the ancient clans have a lot of secrets."

"Yes, while the ancient clan is powerful, it also carries a curse. It’s hard to tell whether this unique cultivation talent is a blessing or a misfortune," Su Chengyu remarked.

Yun Xiuhua asked in surprise: "You know about the ancient clan’s curse? Your grandfather must have told you, right?"

"I suppose. I haven’t benefited from the ancient clan’s ancestral temple, yet I still have to bear this curse. It’s a raw deal," Su Chengyu grimaced.

"For now, you don’t need to worry about the curse— your priority is to recover. After your wounds heal, move to a safe place. Knowing Young Master Feng’s character, he will likely still take hostile actions against you," advised Yun Xiuhua.

Su Chengyu nodded. Matters of life and death were no joke. Knowing that he was no match for Yu Feng, he would naturally not stay in Lin Jiang seeking death.

"After my wounds are healed, I will move. Grandma, I have another request. Can you promise me?" Su Chengyu said.

"Young Master Yu, go ahead. As long as it’s within my ability, I will definitely promise you," Yun Xiuhua said.

"I want to meet my mother or at least speak to her. Can you help me with this?" Su Chengyu asked hesitantly.
