Chapter 4: Chu Ning and Su Yang.

My father once took me to visit his close friend, Chu Feng the patriarch of Chu Clan. They are very close to each other and met often in several occasions and meetings. As they were chatting casually while drinking the patriarch of Chu Clan proposed a marriage alliance between Lu and Chu clans.

As my father never got married and bore any children of his own so the only option for successful alliance was through me. Even though I'm not blood related but I bear the surname of Lu and son of Lu Chen ,the patriarch of Lu Clan My father.

My father was okay with proposal. Even though Chu Clan patriarch proposed the deal. But it wasn't with intention to give his daughter to me.

He proposed a marriage proposal with the daughter of his little brother an elder in the Chu Clan.

It was an indirect way of telling that I'm not worthy enough to become his son-in-law as I don't carry any blood relation to Lu clan and also because I'm useless in terms of Cultivation, I'm basically a normal human.

I first met Chu Ning when I was twelve years old. She came to visit me to know more about me.

She has a long black that reached upto her waist ,her eyes are of dark brown colour. Her skin is so white as snow, her face was so tender and smooth as marshmallow. I was smitten by her at first look only.

She consoled me for my father's death and said she'll always be with me. I was very surprised that she of all people would be concerned about me even though my status reduced to a slave. From that onwards she used to visit me almost everyday and talk with me about random topics and helped me with my chores of Slave duty.

I asked her one day that why is she so kind and gentle towards me. She said that, 'who'd care for husband if not the wife?'.

I was struck by cupid arrow by those words. She said she doesn't mind my status and wanted to live a normal happy married life with me.

And I was dumb enough to believe that and vowed that I'd protect her with all my life.

I didn't know at that time my beautiful, gentle and caring fiance was having an affair with my friend Su Yang.

Su Yang was my childhood friend who belonged to Su Clan.

He befriended me on his own accord when I had no friends.

I was happy that someone was willing to be friends with me.

I used to do everything and anything whatever he ordered ti me.

Now that I think about it I was really a fucking dumbass.

He pretended to be my friend to use me as his errand boy. He was never there for me in any difficult situations to support me and I never asked him to not to burden him with my problems.

Su Yang was also there during my engagement with Chu Ning.

He met and became close to Chu Ning through me. They were so close that people would suspect that they were engaged to each other rather than with me. I ignored all the rumours about them being in an affair behind my back. Even if I knew that they were having an affair behind my back I was powerless and a coward to do anything to them.

Two days before this incident of me jumping from the cliff , Su Yang came to tell me about spiritual herbs which would have effect on awaking of martial talent. He told me spiritual herbs would be found in the deep of dark forests.

Dark forest is one of the forbidden places to not enter as there are many mysterious beings and dangers. Even the powerhouses of azure province wouldn't take light of forbidden places.

I believed Su Yang and went to dark forest with him to find the spiritual herbs to awake my martial talent and starts my cultivation life, even if it's basic talent it's fine for me. But Su Yang was plotting to kill me by pushing me into den of monstrous beasts. He wanted to get rid of me because he couldn't bear me being engaged to Chu Ning. When he pushed me into the den he told me everything, like how he never saw me as a friend, how Chu Ning never loved and having an affair with him behind my back and how they planed to get rid of me in the dark forests. Yes,

Chu Ning was the one who preplanned my death in the dark forests. Su Yang left after pushing me into den.

I tried my best to escape from those beasts and that's how I ended up in this current situation....
