Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Old Stories from Years Past_1
Moreover, in Ye You’s heart, the Royal Palace was his ho, where his father, the Sage Ruler, resided. How could there be any danger in his own ho?
Yun Wang also knew that it was inappropriate for him to attend the family banquet, so he no longer insisted. Instead, he handed his personal weapon, the Divine Dog’s Fury, to Ye You for self-defense. If nothing happened, Ye You would return it to him the next day when Yun Wang, his father, and grandfather went to the palace to celebrate.
Ye You felt Yun Wang’s good intentions and did not refuse the Divine Dog’s Fury. After entering the Royal Palace, he quickly bathed and changed clothes in his usual residence, then headed for the palace where his father hosted the banquet.
In the past, these small family banquets were only attended by him and his father, as well as a few relatives from the Jiuxi Royal Family.
When Ye You’s mother, Ge Ying, was still alive, Clan Leader Gelun of the Qing Ming Family would also be invited. After Ge Ying’s death, fearing that the sight of familiar items would stir up sorrow and ruin the atmosphere of the party, Clan Leader Gelun declined Tian Yu’s invitation and no longer attended the family banquet on the eve of his birthday.
That day, it wasn’t until he entered the banquet that Ye You realized that there was an extra person at the banquet, his uncle, Tian Xiaozi.
Tian Xiaozi’s status was awkward. He and Ye You’s father, Tian Yu, were half-brothers by the sa father but different mothers.
Ye You’s grandfather, Sage Ruler Ruiyan, had a good relationship with his wife. However, once when he was drunk, he had an affair with a palace maid. Nobody knew exactly how that evening’s events unfolded.
Was it due to Sage Ruler Ruiyan’s drunken debauchery, or did the maid intentionally seduce him? No one could tell anymore.
The next day, when Sage Ruler Ruiyan woke up, the maid had already dressed and was waiting obediently outside. Sage Ruler Ruiyan had no idea of what he had done.
It wasn’t until three months later when the maid suddenly knelt down in front of Sage Ruler Ruiyan, claiming she was pregnant with his child.
At first, Sage Ruler Ruiyan could hardly accept it, not believing that he had done such a thing. But the maiden was crying and swearing, and considering that the unborn child was innocent, Sage Ruler Ruiyan had no choice but to settle her outside the Royal Palace first, and make a decision after the child was born.
After a ten-month gestation period, the maid successfully gave birth to a male infant.
After joint verification by two clan leaders from the Muyin and Zhulu families who were well-versed in dical skills, it was determined that this male child was indeed a descendant of the Jiuxi Royal Family.
The Demon Sacred Realm adhered to monogamy, Sage Ruler Ruiyan’s extramarital affair and illegitimate child caused quite a stir in the entire Demon Sacred Realm, and the Eight Great Families were also disappointed in Sage Ruler Ruiyan.
Under imnse pressure, Sage Ruler Ruiyan abdicated the throne to his ten-year-old Prince Tian Yu. He moved to reside in the most remote palace in the Royal Palace, not interfering with state affairs anymore, advising and encouraging Tian Yu only when he ca over to visit.
anwhile, the maid and her son were arranged by Sage Ruler Ruiyan to live in the Wang City outside the palace. Although their living expenses were not lacking, they could not enter the palace unless summoned.
The baby boy was nad Tian Xiaozi, the character "Xiaozi" subtly indicating his illegitimate origin.
Ruiyan’s patroness was from the Qing Ming family, both cold and fierce. She was unable to forgive her husband’s betrayal, and sworn never to see him again in her extremity of resentnt. But for her son Tian Yu, who just inherited the throne, the patroness did not leave the Royal Palace, but chose to live in another corner of the Royal Palace, diatrically opposite to Sage Ruler Ruiyan.
Sage Ruler Ruiyan’s nurous pleas for forgiveness were all rejected, and this unforgiving hatred was also a deep tornt to the patroness herself.
Five years later, the patroness died amidst heartbreak and resentnt.
The maid, with her son Tian Xiaozi, entered the palace to offer condolences. When she found the mont, she requested Sage Ruler Ruiyan to let them move back to the Royal Palace, so that their son could receive better education, and faintly showed her desire to beco the new wife of Ruiyan.
Sage Ruler Ruiyan imdiately realized that Tian Xiaozi could pose a threat to his eldest son Tian Yu. For Tian Yu’s future, and for the stability of the Demon Sacred Realm, he not only declined the maid’s request, but also ordered her to move to the Mountain of No Regrets in the most northwestern part of the Demon Sacred Realm, never to return to Wang City in her lifeti.
As much as the maid might have been unwilling, she had no choice but to take her son, under the protection or watch of many guards, to the remote and desolate Mountain of No Regrets.
Hundred days after the patroness’s death, Sage Ruler Ruiyan committed suicide in his sleep quarters, becoming the first Sage Ruler in the history of the Demon Sacred Realm to die by suicide.
Luckily, Tian Yu was naturally intelligent, diligent, and hardworking. With the aid of the Eight Great Families, despite his young age, he still managed the Demon Sacred Realm in an orderly manner.
However, he ascended the throne at a very young age, which led to him being entangled in various matters early on, delaying his ti to practice magic. His magic cultivation was the worst compared to other Sage Rulers of the ti.
He died the day before his fiftieth birthday, having only broken through the Magic God stage one or two years earlier.
Other Sage Rulers during this period had mostly reached the Demon Emperor level by the age of fifty.
Insufficient magic cultivation was always a concern for Tian Yu. Without a strong level of magic cultivation, it was difficult to bring deterrence against the powerful Eight Great Families.
Therefore, in Ye You’s growth process, Tian Yu tried to avoid letting him handle mundane matters, and instead urged him to focus on practicing magic.
After Tian Yu ca of age, perhaps due to his longing for his mother, he also married a woman from the Qing Ming family to be his patroness, who was Ye You’s mother.
This woman from the Qing Ming family was called Gewan. She was beautiful and tender-hearted, and had a very good relationship with Tian Yu.
Unfortunately, when Ye You was born, Gewan had a weak constitution and had a difficult childbirth. Although both mother and son were safe in the end, Gewan was greatly weakened and had been plagued with illnesses ever since.
When Ye You was five, Patroness Gewan passed away, which was a great blow to both Tian Yu and Ye You.
Experiencing a major change at the age of ten, Tian Yu was forced to ascend to the throne. His parents both passed away when he was fifteen, and now he had lost his most beloved wife. His mood was deeply desolate for a ti.
Being only five years old and losing his mother, Ye You also felt lonely and beca increasingly silent.
The good thing was that Tian Yu cared deeply for his only child, and maid ii, who had served Gewan since she was a child, took care of Ye You, allowing him to grow up safely.
Ye You was also naturally intelligent, with excellent talent for practicing magic. At the age of nine, he ford a stable Magic Source in his dantian and beca a magic apprentice.
At this ti, he was supposed to go to the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle for systematic magic learning under the guidance of many teachers, but Ye You was worried about his father, and Tian Yu was reluctant to part with Ye You. Therefore, the trip was delayed, and Ye You only practiced magic under the guidance of Tian Yu.
It was not until two years later that Tian Yu realized that this would delay Ye You, and urged Ye You to set off for the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle imdiately.
At the age of eleven, Ye You left his father and the Royal Palace to start his study journey at the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
