Translator: 549690339
“Yang Chen, are you alright? Don’t scare your sister.” Yang Caidie’s eyes were filled with tears of worry.
Seeing the anxious look on Yang Caidie’s face and recalling the reason for his own death, Yang Chen sighed in his heart and then opened his eyes, saying, “Older Sister, I’m fine.”
“Young Master, are you… are you really okay?” The pretty maid excitedly jumped up.
Yang Caidie held Yang Chen’s hand tightly, scolding him, “Yang Chen, don’t ever think of giving up again. If you can’t vent your anger, your sister will go fight the Wang Family right now.”
“No, Sister, don’t!” Yang Chen was genuinely frightened.
He looked deeply at Yang Caidie and recalled all of his late brother’s memories of her in his mind.
The young girl in front of him was named Yang Caidie.
Yang Caidie, eighteen years old, five years older than her brother Yang Chen, was a famous figure among the Great Wild Hundred Clans. She was known as one of the ‘Three Great Golden Hairpins,’ one of the three great beauties of the Hundred Clans. However, it was not her beauty that was most famous but her temper.
Yes, Yang Caidie was well-known for being fierce and aggressive. She had a stubborn streak, always determined once she had made up her mind, impossible to deter even by nine oxen. Some might think she was stupid, but she was intelligent, with a high aptitude and a great potential, being the number one genius among the females of the Yang family.
However, her intelligence did not stop her from being aggressively untidy and often speaking her mind without considering the consequences.
For that reason, nobody dared to mess with Yang Caidie.
Most importantly, Yang Caidie was extremely protective of her younger brother, Yang Chen.
It was said that when Yang Chen was three years old, he was bitten by a Black-haired Wolf raised by the Sun family. As a result, the eight-year-old Yang Caidie stormed into the Sun family’s home, holding a knife and demanding to kill the Black-haired Wolf. She was stopped at that time by the Yang family elders and brought back home.
But who would have thought that Yang Caidie still held a grudge? In her teenage years, she found a chance when the Black-haired Wolf was unguarded and killed it with several swift motions. She even wrote a note on the corpse of the wolf: “Those who bully my brother will die – Culprit Yang Caidie.”
Back then, Yang Caidie’s writing skills were not up to par and she could not think of the character “beast”, so she wrote “man” instead.
Most crucially, however, she signed her name as the “culprit”, which angered the Sun family members to no end. As a result, they continually caused trouble for the Yang family.
As he remembered all this, Yang Chen understood that his sister, Yang Caidie, was indeed the kind of person who would go to desperate lengths for his sake, even if it involved antagonizing the powerful Wang family. The Wang family was one of the top-tier clans among the Hundred Clans, and nobody dared provoke them. But Yang Caidie’s stubbornness knew no bounds, and she wouldn’t hesitate to challenge them.
At this thought, Yang Chen rubbed his head and sighed, “Sister, you two go out first. I want to be alone for a while.”
“Darling, don’t you ever think of giving up again. If you do, how can your sister and I live on?” Yang Caidie said with a broken heart.
Yang Chen chuckled, “Sister, don’t worry, I won’t try to take my life again. I’ve come to terms with it now. At the very least, I can’t bear to see you so heartbroken.”
Seeing that there was no intention of committing suicide in Yang Chen’s eyes, Yang Caidie finally bit her lip and said, “Fine, sister will go first. I’ll have Ming Yue wait outside. If you need anything, just call her.”
Gu Mingyue, also known as Xiao Yue, was Yang Caidie’s maid and was meant to become Yang Chen’s concubine in the future. She was obedient to both Yang Chen and Yang Caidie. The key point was that Yang Caidie seemed to have made an excellent choice in her little concubine. At the age of fifteen, she already showed great potential to grow into a beauty.
As Yang Caidie’s maid, Gu Mingyue had been pursued by many people in the Yang family. However, she was loyal and genuinely prepared to become Yang Chen’s concubine.
Now, hearing Yang Caidie’s words, Gu Mingyue repeatedly said, “Young Master, if you need Ming Yue, she will be outside waiting.”
“Alright.” Yang Chen nodded, acknowledging her statement.
Soon, Yang Caidie and Gu Mingyue left.
At last, Yang Chen took a deep breath, recalling all his memories and examining his current body.
“I never expected that, as Yang Chen, with my mastery of the Way of Alchemy and the admiration of others in my lifetime, I would still end up helpless and preyed upon in the end. It ultimately came down to my lack of talent in martial arts during my time. Even if I had been a great genius, I would still have been powerless when Hua Wanru wanted me dead, without any chance to resist.”
Thinking of this, Yang Chen gradually smiled, “But I didn’t expect that heaven would not forsake me. This Yang Chen wasted his excellent talent for cultivating martial arts by not pursuing the path of cultivation. It was such a waste. In my dreams, I wanted to practice martial arts, to stand at the pinnacle of the world and look down upon all living creatures! And in the world, only martial arts remain eternally unchanging.”
“Yang Chen’s talent for cultivating martial arts may not be the best, but it is not bad at all. Even though I couldn’t step into the martial arts realm in my past life, I was best at nurturing and supporting geniuses. Now I have this body, coupled with my previous nurturing system. Even if Yang Chen’s talent is not the best, it will suffice. It’s a pity that this Yang Chen is just too useless, a complete waste within the Yang family.”
The owner of this body, Yang Chen, was a young noble within the Yang family. As far as martial arts cultivation was concerned, he was a complete failure. However, in reality, Yang Chen had such great potential for cultivation but chose not to develop it.
He had always dreamt of cultivating, and it was a shame that he allowed his body to waste away as it did, becoming a young noble instead.
Hua Wanru!
As he thought of her, he couldn’t help but remember Hua Wanru, the woman who plotted against him.
Yang Chen closed his eyes, “Hua Wanru, I nurtured you into a generation of powerful geniuses, but you ought to know that your achievements come from my hand. As I can nurture you, so can I nurture myself!”
He had indeed nurtured Hua Wanru wholeheartedly in his past life, but he had left something behind in doing so.
That small decision had left a mark on his future.
Now, Yang Chen’s heart was filled with passion as he murmured, “Although I was an almighty genius in the field of alchemy, creating a number of earth-shattering pill formulas, there was always a flaw. The flaw lies in my martial arts. Even though I was considered a top-notch alchemy genius, I was still just an ordinary person, vulnerable to being slaughtered.”
“But things are different now. Since I, Yang Chen, am reborn in this new body capable of cultivation, I will not only become a peerless alchemy genius but also ascend the pinnacle of martial arts!”
