Young Lord?

What the h*ck!?

Yu Tian looked at Uncle Long with a perplexed expression. The older man was acting differently from before.

However, they were still inside the Chu family’s ancestral hall. Thus, Uncle Long simply remained silent.

Several minutes later, Uncle Long rose to his feet. He turned around and stared at Yu Tian. The latter could not help but stagger backward due to the fervent gaze.

Yu Tian would have a better reaction if a beautiful woman was staring at him like that, but this was an old man.

“Uncle Long, what do you mean by Young Lord?”

Yu Tian asked softly. Things had gone beyond his expectations. He needed to figure out the situation.

The older man nodded his head as he wiped the tears off the corners of his eyes. Then, he bowed respectfully to Yu Tian.

It caused the latter to frown. This formal etiquette was only performed during the ancient days!

“The Chu family became so powerful because of the Yu family.”

What Uncle Long said startled Yu Tian.

The Yu family was the reason why the Chu family became successful.

‘D*mn, but why was my life so miserable in comparison?’

Yu Tian could not even afford three meals a day ever since his parents went missing!

Uncle Long sighed as he could tell what the young man was thinking.

“The Chu family is ancillary to the Yu family. The former used to be one of the more inferior families.”

Yu Tian’s mouth was agape. He was completely stunned.

Why did this scenario sound like something out of a novel?

It must be nonsense!

“Are you going to tell me that I’m actually the abandoned young master of a massive family who has finally been found?”

Yu Tian guessed. It would be so melodramatic if that was the truth.

Uncle Long chuckled at the comment and waved his hand dismissively in the air.

“Calm down. You’re right, but not entirely. A hundred years ago, the Yu Family experienced a catastrophe and suffered an inevitable decline. Fast forward to this day, you’re the Yu Family’s only descendant that’s still alive.”

A solemn expression took over the elder man’s face.

“Of course, we’re still not completely certain that your parents are dead.”

What?

Shocked, Yu Tian grabbed the older man’s arm.

“Are you saying that my parents are still alive?”

Uncle Long nodded. He budged slightly, but that was enough to make the young man stagger backward. His expression then became stern.

“We have no evidence to prove that they’re dead. For now, you’re not entitled to learn the truth, especially concerning this issue. Don’t worry though. You’ll know more once you prove your self-worth. There will be many tests ahead of you.”

Uncle Long smiled gently and grabbed a wooden chair from the side.

“The world isn’t as simple as you thought.”

He added before slowly placing his fingers on top of the back of the chair.

‘Crack!’

The man crushed the back of the thick wooden chair effortlessly.

Yu Tian could not believe what he saw.

‘Gulp.’

“Uncle… Uncle Long, you’re not telling me that cultivation is real, right?” he said with a quivering voice.

Uncle Long chuckled.

“A lot of things that you have read from novels exist, albeit slightly different.”

Yu Tian smiled bitterly. The changes in his life were definitely not ordinary!

Out of nowhere, he suddenly had one hundred and eight elder sisters. They gave him wealth, a business to run, and anything else that he ever wanted. There’s a catch to everything. Only a fool would believe otherwise!

Yet, things seemed to be going well so far.

“This is all I have to say. I only ask one thing from you, which is to improve yourself and be worthy of the ‘Young Lord’ title one day!”

Uncle Long looked intensely at Yu Tian. He had high expectations. At the same time, he also looked concerned.

Yu Tian frowned. After thinking for a while, he asked, “Uncle Long, I’m curious about something. How are you sure that I’m the one you’re looking for?”

“It’s simple. First of all, the Yu Family members genuinely can’t play Weiqi. Every time they are put to the test, they will make a fatal move even if it’s by chance.”

Uncle Long smiled as he explained. This was one of those mysteries that no one could figure out.

Members of the Yu Family were unable to learn the game, even if their lives depended on it!

“Secondly, it’s your pendant. You might not realize it, but that pendant is the Yu Family’s heirloom. It has been passed on for numerous generations.”

Yu Tian found what the older man was saying hard to believe.

However, why would he lie?

“Yu Tian, wealth isn’t important to a truly powerful family. What’s really important is competence!”

Uncle Long quickly said as he noticed that the young man was getting distracted.

He clenched his fists and looked at the broken chair again.

“You’ll discover a whole new world once you’re competent enough. Work hard and do your best. We’re still waiting for the Young Lord to lead us into the new world!”

Again, Yu Tian was perplexed.

Despite that, he remained silent. After all, the older man was unwilling to offer more explanation.

Regardless, Yu Tian had a better understanding of his circumstances now. Fortunately, he turned out to be the heir of a great family, even if they did lose their power. Additionally, he was required to go through many tests.

“I don’t really care about the details. All I want is for my younger sister to live a good life. Also, I’d like to find my parents,” said Yu Tian. At the moment, those were his goals.

Uncle Long let out a sigh.

“Yu Tian, it doesn’t take much to lead a good life and it’s not difficult to find your parents either. As it turns out, I know where they are but…”

“But what?” asked the young man impatiently.

“But we’re still lacking in strength. We’ll be courting death if we’re reckless!”

Uncle Long regretfully slammed his clenched fist on the wooden chair.

‘Crash!’

The sturdy wooden chair immediately shattered into pieces.

Small pieces of wood were scattered across the floor.

Yu Tian was taken aback by what he just witnessed. A normal human did not possess this amount of strength!

Even the strongest soldier in the whole world was not this powerful!

Only those people who practiced cultivation in novels do.

“Yu Tian, this is the path you’re destined to take.”

Uncle Long took out a delicate wooden box from beneath the altar and handed it over to Yu Tian.

“You must practice cultivation and become stronger. Once you’re on top of the world, you’ll be qualified to learn about your parents’ whereabouts,” said Uncle Long after taking a deep breath.

“Furthermore, in order to increase your power, you must take advantage of the resources provided by the Chu Family. You’ll understand what I’m saying when the time comes. The Chu Family is still too weak in terms of power. Yu Tian, you don’t have much time left.”

After saying that, Uncle Long took two steps backward and knelt down.

Yu Tian went forward to help him up, but the older man refused.

“Yu Tian, I beg you. Please do your best in cultivation. For yourself, for the Yu Family, and also for the declining Chu Family.”

Then, the older man began kowtowing to him.

Yu Tian was bewildered. He did not know how to react.

In his heart, he began to feel a heavyweight of responsibility.

“Uncle Long, the Chu Family is in trouble?” he asked while helping the latter to his feet.

“A lot of trouble! So much that the Chu Family could not overcome it with their own strength. You’re the only one that can help them.”

Uncle Long said earnestly. He added, “The Chu Family had faced several massive obstacles in the past hundred years. Each time, the Yu Family would lend them a hand but now…”

“I understand. I don’t know if I’ll be of much help, but I’ll try my best.”

Yu Tian nodded.

He needed some time to digest all the information. However, he was willing to risk everything to help the Chu Family.. It was not an abnormal decision after everything he and his sister had received from them!
