Chapter 112: Xiao Yan: Are You Some Model 2060 Idiot Old Man?
Chapter 112: Xiao Yan: Are You Some Model 2060 Idiot Old Man?
Hearing his father's words, Xiao Yan's mind went blank.
In that instant
He fully understood.
Today, his relationship with Xiao Zhan as father and son
Was over.
No matter what explanations his father might give,
No matter how much regret he showed,
Xiao Yan would never forgive him.
…
Even so
He still wanted to hear why.
Why had Xiao Zhan made such a cruel decision?
Why had he abandoned his own son?
…
There is an old saying:
"Men do not cry easily
Unless their pain runs too deep."
And at this moment
Xiao Zhan's pain was unbearable.
His old eyes filled with tears.
His lips trembled.
His voice was full of sorrow.
"Yan'er… Father has failed you."
"As the patriarch of the Xiao Clan, I had no choice
I had to choose between you and the family."
"You are only in your early teens… yet your Dou Qi is still at the third stage."
"For three years, I watched you work tirelessly… yet no progress was made."
"At first, I still supported you. Even if you never became a true Dou Practitioner, you would still be my son. I would have provided for you."
"But now… things are different."
"You were engaged to Nalan Yanran, the Young Mistress of the Yunlan Sect."
"Yet she publicly humiliated you by calling off the engagement."
"It wasn't just your pride that was shattered
It was mine.
It was the entire Xiao Clan's."
"Now, all of Wutan City laughs at us."
"Every meal, the other clans mock us.
At breakfast.
At lunch.
At dinner."
"Because of you
The Xiao Clan has become a joke."
"I chose the Jade Finger Technique…
Because I needed power.
I needed strength to shut their mouths."
"And you?"
"You claimed you'd defeat Nalan Yanran in three years?"
"How?"
"You are a cripple in their eyes."
"Even if I believed in you
Even if I held onto hope
Your words were delusional."
"I had such high hopes when you shouted 'Do not bully the poor youth!'
I thought you had unshakable confidence."
"But what did you do?"
"You ran to the mountains… and tried to kill yourself."
"Do you know how disappointed I was?"
"Now that you are unconscious, at least you no longer have to endure the shame."
"I could have saved you…
But it's better for you to remain like this."
"Yan'er… this is for your own good."
"You don't have to suffer anymore."
"Just rest."
"Meanwhile, I will train in the Jade Finger Technique."
"When I master it, I will avenge the Xiao Clan's honor."
"As for the Yunlan Sect…
I will inform them that you remain unconscious
And that the engagement with Nalan Yanran is canceled forever."
"Sigh…"
"Yan'er, you only have yourself to blame."
"I must go now."
"I will assign people to take care of you from now on."
With that
Xiao Zhan left.
His eyes
No longer held tears.
His heart
No longer hesitated.
And he never once
Looked back.
…
Inside the Room
Xiao Yan's eyes slowly opened.
Lying motionless, he listened as his father's footsteps faded into the distance.
His bloodshot eyes remained fixed on the ceiling.
His hands trembled.
His lips quivered.
His vision blurred.
But he refused to let his tears fall.
…
Now, he finally understood.
To Xiao Zhan
He was nothing more than a disgrace.
A shameful failure.
A useless burden.
His own father
Had given up on him.
…
The last thread of hope in his heart
Was completely destroyed.
…
Yet, despite his despair
His mind remained clear.
His reasoning was still sharp.
As a transmigrator,
He understood his own body's condition.
Right now, his emotions were overloaded.
His body was exhausted.
Soon, the overwhelming despair would push him into unconsciousness again.
So
Before he blacked out,
He quickly placed the Golden Wound Pill into his mouth.
…
And then
He let go.
And let darkness take over.
…
But before he lost consciousness completely
His hatred burned deep in his heart.
"Strength…"
"It's all because of strength."
"If I were still a genius
They would never have treated me this way."
"Without strength… I am worse than dog sht."*
"At least, people don't step on dog sht on purpose."*
"But me? Even my own father stepped on me."
Xiao Yan dug his fingers into his hair.
He clenched his teeth until his lips bled.
Then, with a hoarse, shaking voice, he whispered
"I will remember this day."
"The humiliation of these three years…"
"And the blood debt of today…"
"One day, I will make you all pay."
…
Suddenly
"Hehehehe~ Little brat… looks like you need some help again, huh?"
A strange, familiar, elderly voice echoed in his ears.
Xiao Yan's eyes widened in terror.
His body froze.
Then
The memories flooded back.
This was the same voice that had terrified him before.
The same ghostly voice that had made him jump off a cliff.
…
"Ah "
His mind went blank.
And for the second time,
Xiao Yan passed out.
…
Inside the Black Ring
Yao Chen sat inside the ring, staring in disbelief.
"This kid…"
"He literally just passed out again?"
"Is his mental strength that weak?"
"How does he manage to endure humiliation for three years… yet faint the moment I speak?"
He sighed in frustration.
Then, he noticed something.
"Wait… he actually fed himself the pill before fainting?"
"Hah… at least he has some foresight."
"Alright, fine. Maybe he's not completely useless after all."
…"I guess I'll teach him."
…"He should still be useful."
…
Minutes Later
Xiao Yan woke up again.
This time, his injuries were fully healed.
His bruises gone.
His swollen face normal again.
He looked around the room.
There was no one there.
But then
He heard that voice again.
"Hey, kid… looking for me?"
Xiao Yan's heart pounded.
"Who's there?! Who's messing with me?!"
"Hehehe~ You don't need to look around, brat."
"I'm… your mother "
Xiao Yan's face darkened.
"BULLSHT! I'M YOUR DAD!"*
"MY MOM IS A WOMAN!"
"WU TIAN, STOP MESSING AROUND!"
…
Inside the black ring, Yao Chen's face twitched.
"Who the hell is Wu Tian?!"
"And why does this brat think I'm him?!"
