C3 Family conflict

After half a day of travelling, Yan Qiuyu finally returned to the city where her clan was located. Looking at the currently bustling city gate, Yan Qiuyu also walked in without hesitation.

After entering the city, Yan Qiuyu did not immediately return to the clan. After such a long journey, his eyes were already shining from hunger, so without any hesitation, he arrived at a restaurant. The restaurant was very lively as it was very close to the city gate.

Sitting at an empty table, the shop assistant walked over and saw that Yan Qiuyu was wearing tattered clothes. His unkempt hair also frowned as he looked at Yan Qiuyu and said coldly, "Hurry up and say what you want. We're very busy here after eating."

Looking at the waiter's disdainful face, Yan Qiuyu did not argue with him, it was unlikely for her to be such a snobbish person.

Yan Qiuyu placed the money she had on her on the table and looked at the waiter blandly.

"A table of good dishes."

Seeing Yan Qiuyu's attendant, the waiter's face also instantly became friendly. He casually grabbed the yuan on the table and dryly smiled, "Oh, this guest has a bad eye. I didn't see your identity, please forgive me."

Hurry and go, don't be so stupid, Yan Qiuyu also said to the waiter impatiently.

"Alright, customer, please wait a moment." The waiter didn't pay any attention to Yan Qiuyu's words, and quickly left as well.

Looking at the people on the left and right discussing this, Yan Qiuyu thought to herself, "I haven't returned to the clan for quite a while, father must be very worried. According to the person who was chasing him, father must be being suppressed by Lord Third and Lord Fourth." Thinking of this, Yan Qiuyu unconsciously clenched her fists.

Yan Jue must have listened to his father, and Yan Jue was happy to take his place as the young master.

"What a ruthless father and son." Yan Qiuyu also sighed, she did not hesitate to fight with her brothers for power.

"Welcome, customer, please enjoy." The waiter also said in a friendly manner.

While he ate the food on the table, he listened to the people around him in boredom.

"Hey, haven't you heard? In three months time, our entire Mausoleum Region's genius selection will begin. I heard that anyone who obtains a good ranking in the competition can even attract the attention of a large clan." A high-pitched voice rang out. The person sitting to the left of Yan Qiuyu also spoke to his companion, beaming with joy.

Yan Qiuyu's eyes also lit up. She had never been out of the clan before, so she rarely heard anything from the outside world. Hearing that this person seemed to be holding some great clan selection made her interest piqued as she listened attentively.

"That's right, I've also heard that this time's selection is too exciting. The participants from the three families are all elites of the family!" The man sitting across from him also spat.

The great clan's selection competition would be held three months later!

Thinking about it, Yan Qiuyu also made up her mind. She didn't help her father fight for a long time, instead, it was a good opportunity for her to make the best use of her time to cultivate and surpass the arrogant fellows of the clan.

Without thinking too much, he quickly finished his food, changed his clothes, and headed towards his family. Hearing the words of the person who tried to assassinate him, his father must have had a hard time.

He returned home familiarly and saw that there were no guards at the entrance. Even the door was tightly shut. Yan Qiuyu also frowned as she felt that something was wrong.

He walked up and knocked heavily on the door before opening it. He felt more and more that Yan Qiuyu was rushing towards the family hall.

At this moment, the entire clan hall was in an uproar. Many people were standing in front of the clan hall's large courtyard as they chattered back and forth.

"Hey, tell me, why do you think San Ye is fine this time?"

"Is there even a need to think? Originally, when the Patriarch ascended the throne, Grandpa and Lord Third were just obstructing his path without any proper excuses. This time, it's good that Second Master's son doesn't have Lord Third. It'll be easier for Lord Third to attack Lord Second as well." A person said.

"Looks like the position of Patriarch has to be changed again." The man calmly said.

When Yan Qiuyu heard this, she also understood the current situation. Her two uncles had actually teamed up together to force her father to give up his position. It seemed like they had also spent a lot of effort.

At this moment, everyone was talking among themselves, clearly not noticing that the eldest young master, who had disappeared for many days, had returned and was standing at the entrance of the clan hall to listen to their conversation.

Without thinking any further, Yan Qiuyu walked towards the clan hall.

Everyone's eyes were locked onto a young man all of a sudden.

"Young Patriarch! Quite a few people revealed joyous and surprised expressions. It was clear that they were on the Second Master's side. Some of them also revealed disgusted looks, as if they were not looking at the Young Patriarch but at a beggar.

Disregarding their expressions, Yan Qiuyu pushed open the last door of the family hall. This was the place where important matters of the family were discussed, and direct descendants were not allowed to enter unless they were elders.

The oval shaped table in the main hall was split into two groups. The one on the left was his father and the elders supporting him, while the one on the right was his two uncles. There were clearly many elders on the right, and there were two rows of young men behind them.

At the main seat, there was an old man with a head full of white hair. Although the old man didn't have a powerful aura, he exuded a majestic aura that intimidated everyone. No one dared to say anything. It was obviously the previous generation's head, 'Yan Pingsheng'!

The instant the door was pushed open, Yan Qiuyu understood the situation in the family hall. His sudden entrance also attracted the attention of everyone present.

Everyone looked at him differently. Some were happy, some were surprised. Some were resentful, but most were doubtful.

Seeing that everyone's gaze was fixed on her, the corner of Yan Qiuyu's mouth curled up and revealed a strange expression towards Yan Jue. She then walked towards her father. Seeing that his face had aged quite a bit, Yan Qiuyu guessed that her father must have been under a lot of pressure.

After staring blankly for a second, Yan Feng Tian excitedly shouted at his son: "Yu'er!"

"Father!" Yan Qiuyu said excitedly as she came to her father's side.

"Yu'er, where are you going to make it easier for me to find you?" Yan Feng Tian stood up and placed both of his hands on his son's shoulders as he looked at him carefully.

"Father, when I was on my way out to gain experience, I was plotted against by a traitor, so I came back with a narrow escape." Yan Qiuyu also said as she looked at her father.

"Who was it that harmed you?" Hearing that someone was deliberately trying to kill his son, Yan Fengtian's eyes instantly darkened. His eyes revealed a murderous intent as if it was real.

"Father, I don't know who caused this, but in the midst of my escape, I accidentally picked up a piece of jade." With that, Yan Qiuyu took out a sparkling and translucent jade from her sleeve and handed it over to her father.

Yan Jue, who was sitting in the back row of his father's row, also felt a little bad when he saw the jade. He had lost his jade a few days ago.

He quickly took the jade that his son handed to him. After giving it a glance, he lifted his head and looked at his second brother with a gaze filled with killing intent. He also looked towards his son.

He slowly raised the jade in his hand and a powerful aura exploded out from his body.

"Yan Wu, tell me what exactly happened here!" This piece of jade belongs to your precious son. "

Looking at his second brother's ferocious face, Yan Wu's heart turned cold as he looked at the jade. "It's over. It's all over. How am I going to explain this? He was the one who ordered the assassination of my second brother's son."

"This, this, second brother, this doesn't mean that this is the son that my son framed." Yan Wu stammered as he tried to clear Ye Xiao of the crime.

Brother by blood, you still want to argue? I can give you the position of master, but you shouldn't have thought of my son. Since you don't care about kinship, don't blame me for being heartless. Yan Feng Tian was also completely enraged. He didn't say anything more about the powerful Spiritual Energy rushing towards Yan Wu with his left hand.

"Stop! "Feng Tian." The old man who had been silent for a long while spoke just as Yan Feng Tian's fist was about to hit Yan Wu.

Forcefully retracting his fist, Yan Fengtian looked at his father with grief and indignation and said, "Father, things have already come to this, yet you still favor him? Don't tell me you are going to forgive him for wanting to kill my son."

"Feng Tian, your third brother also impulsively caused you, this brother, to be so forgiving, right? Don't tell me you want me to see your brothers and sisters killing each other?"

Yan Fengtian heavily sat on his chair and rubbed his furrowed eyebrows.

"Evict from the family. From now on, you are no longer a member of my Yan family." After being silent for a while, Yan Feng Tian spoke in a soft voice.

"Feng Tian!" Yan Pingsheng was also facing the Heavenly Dao of the Smoke Wind.

"Father, this is my bottom line. As the head of the clan, if I can't even punish the person who wants to kill my own son, then isn't that a joke?" Yan Feng Tian looked at his father and said calmly.

"Hahahaha! Good! This is great! The Yan family doesn't want me, and I won't force them to stay. But remember this, Yan Feng Tian, there will be a day when you regret it." Then, he got up and walked out of the main hall. Even when Yan Jue saw his father walking out, he only cast a venomous look at Yan Qiuyu before he left as well.

"In that case, is there any more debate? Who wants my position as the head of the Yan Fengtian family?" "As long as he can win against me, Yan Feng Tian, I will give him the position of the clan head." Yan Feng Tian looked at Yan Wu, who was walking far away, and turned his head to speak to everyone.

"Younger brother, you are the most decisive one. It's more appropriate for you to sit at the seat of the clan head." Yan Lingyun, who had been silent for a long time, also looked at Yan Feng Tian and said with a strange tone.

"Hmph!" Yan Feng Tian didn't care about his big brother. He was just trying his best to beat him up with Yan Wu, and now he realized that he was the one who was going to be the hardest to deal with.

Now that things had gotten to this point, no matter which faction the elders from, all left the clan hall. Today's matter had already been decided, they no longer dared to argue with each other.

"Sigh ~ ~" Yan Pingsheng, who was sitting at the head of the table, also sighed and walked out of the hall.

Yan Lingyun also stood up and followed him. However, when he walked in front of Yan Fengtian, he also let out a faint smile, but he did not say anything.

At this moment, only Yan Qiuyu and his father were in the main hall.

Yan Feng Tian immediately sat down on the chair. From his depressed expression, Yan Qiuyu knew that her father felt very bad. After all, no one wanted to be like this.

"Father." Yan Qiuyu whispered to the Misty Wind Dao.

"Ah, Qiu Yu, you should go back and rest first. After that, be careful not to go out again." Yan Feng Tian heard Yan Qiuyu's call and said softly.

"Yes, Father." Yan Qiuyu nodded, then left the hall as well.

At this time, there were still many people stopping at the entrance of the clan hall. It was obvious that they were just a bunch of people who wanted to watch a good show.

When everyone saw Yan Qiuyu come out, many of them shouted out to her, "Young master!"

Looking at these people coldly, Yan Qiuyu did not bother to pay attention to them as she walked towards her own residence. These people were all fence-sitters and she was too lazy to care about them.

Looking at Yan Qiuyu's disappearing figure, the eyes of one of the young men in blue lit up.

"Hmph, if it wasn't for the clan leader supporting him, he would have already been chased out of the family asking for food." In his eyes, Yan Qiuyu was nothing more than trash relying on her father.

"He won't be able to last much longer. Don't worry, the competition will begin in a month. I believe that Yan Lengxue and the others will not let go of this opportunity to humiliate him." And if he can't make it into the top forty of the Family Competition, what awaits him is exile. A white-robed youth next to the blue-robed youth spoke out as well.

"Even his own son, the dignified young master of the Yan family, was exiled. I don't think he will have the face to go there now. From what I see, the position of the chief is still his grandpa, Yan Lingyun."

"Yes, that's right." A few people beside him nodded in agreement.

"Creak ~" The door of the clan hall was pushed open and Yan Fengtian walked out as well. He looked at the two young men who spoke earlier. Yan Fengtian had a dignified expression on his face. With his skill, he had heard every single word that happened in such a short period of time.

"What are you looking at?" "Don't you have nothing to do? Why aren't you going back?" Yan Fengtian looked at everyone and spoke seriously.

"Yes, Patriarch." The crowd immediately responded. They didn't want to anger Yan Feng Tian.

"Hmph." Yan Feng waved his sleeves and left without saying anything.

When Yan Qiuyu returned to her own residence, she sat cross-legged on her bed. She had not completely absorbed the Blood Fruit in her body, so Yan Qiuyu could feel it. Furthermore, it would be the competition in another month, so she should fight for her father's honor. At the same time, he also wanted to let them know that he, Yan Qiuyu, was not trash, but there were still a few powerful geniuses in the clan who had broken through to the eighth level of the Core Formation Stage a few months ago.

The corner of Yan Qiuyu's mouth curled up slightly. Although her strength was far from theirs, he was confident that he would be able to catch up to them within this month.

Without thinking much, Yan Qiuyu also entered a state of cultivation. Yan Qiuyu, who had sunk her consciousness into her body, was startled. How did her meridians turn red and become so wide? Could it be the effect of the Blood Congealing Fruit?

Yan Qiuyu was instantly dumbfounded as she tried to circulate her meridians to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. At this moment, the red light in her meridians was circulating crazily, and Yan Qiuyu could clearly feel that the spiritual energy was being absorbed at an astonishing speed!

This speed was a hundred times faster than his original speed of training! The small black book hovering in his mind seemed to move slightly as it slowly opened under Yan Qiuyu's surprised gaze.

"Hong ~" The page that was opened by the small black book, a soul storm began to spread in Yan Qiuyu's mind.

While enduring the intense pain in his head, that inexplicable soul storm also slowly calmed down.

Yan Qiuyu also looked at the small black book on the first page.

"This is?" Yan Qiuyu also asked herself suspiciously. She saw that there were two silver words written on the little book's black page.

"Insight?" What did that mean? Yan Qiuyu also felt that it was strange, what exactly did this insight mean?

After pondering for a long time, Yan Qiuyu looked at the black booklet that no longer showed any signs of activity. She gave up on her thoughts, unable to understand what was going on.

However, right now, he didn't have to worry too much about it. With his current speed, he was sure that he would be able to surpass the other members of his clan by training.

"Hmph ~ I have to take first place." Yan Qiuyu also thought.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

"Dang, dang, dang!" A soft knock on the door rang out as a frail, young lady's voice rang out.

"Young master, it's time to eat."

Yan Qiuyu softly said to the young girl outside the door.

"Xiao Xue, come in."

"Screech ~ ~" The door was pushed open, and a slim and graceful young girl walked in. Although her delicate and pretty appearance wasn't considered noble, her clothes were still neat and tidy.

After placing the dishes on the table, Xiao Xue lowered her head and whispered to Yan Qiuyu.

"Young Master, you haven't been out for half a month, aren't you bored or anything? Why don't you go out for a walk with Snowy?"

"Ah, we're going to have a competition soon. I don't have time to relax, let's wait until after the competition is over." Yan Qiuyu also said plainly upon hearing this.

"Ah ~ Okay, then I won't disturb your cultivation anymore." When Xiao Xue heard this, her eyes also lit up. Ever since her young master's cultivation was called trash, she had never seen this kind of confidence before.

Xiao Xue didn't say anything else. She also hurried out and didn't want to disturb Yan Qiuyu anymore.

After sensing the power in her body, Yan Qiuyu nodded her head. In half a month's time, she had advanced from the sixth level of the Core Formation Stage to the eighth level of the Core Formation Stage. This speed was also quite terrifying.

Speaking of which, he didn't seem to have practiced any kind of martial art. That wouldn't do! There was no use in using skills that only had strength.

Thinking about this, Yan Qiuyu also stopped talking. Time was precious, it was best to quickly find two cultivation techniques to cultivate.
