6 Liu Qian
The guard ca rushing back. He took a breath and bowed once more.
"The second elder requested that the young master and master Du enter the family pavilion. He also convened the elders and the family leader." the guard said.
"The second elder? Isn't my father the third elder? Why did the second elder convene this eting? Slls like trouble to ." I thought to myself as we walked. Uncle Du seed to have so similar thoughts, because his face was filled with worry.
I did not want to disturb the man who tried his best to save my life, so I went with the flow, following Uncle Du. The path that we were on seed nothing like the city that was outside. To the side, there were multiple bamboo shoots. It looked like a forest, but one that was well cared for. And the buildings that were within were well spaced, with a lot of empty space between them. Just another show of how powerful the Liu Family probably was.
I could see that there were people everywhere, and all of them looked at with contempt. So of them talked to each other, and all of them seed to have one thing running in their head. Why did the idiot young master return?
We stopped in front of what appeared to be the family pavilion. Uncle Du stopped walking.
"Feng'er. I do not think that I can go forward anymore. Tell your father that I did my job. I will go to your mother and tell her the good news. Do not forget. Beg for forgiveness." Uncle Du said. Before I could ask anything further from him, he disappeared. Disappeared into thin air! I did not know how he did that, but it seed like a cultivation benefit.
I looked to the stairs that led to the pavilion. It was closed on the top, for so reason. More like a council room, or sothing, that they did not know how to na. I walked up the stairs. By now, I could see through the entrance. There were many people seated within. All of them were silent and calm.
I entered the hall, and all the eyes fell upon like daggers. I looked around, and nas started matching the faces. And at the top, the very head of the room, there was an old man who was seated, looking at like I murdered soone.
"Grandfather." I knelt down.
"Feng'er. Do you understand the severity of the issue that you have caused since you disappeared three months ago?" my grandfather for this life, Liu Hong, asked.
I did not answer. I knew that this was rhetoric. I was not allowed to say anything until everyone was done scolding .
I turned to the side, and could see my father, Liu Qian, sitting on the second chair from the right. He did not look happy in the slightest to see . His face scowled just looking at .
"Forgive father. It was not my intention to be away from ho for so long. But I had no choice. I was trapped in a cave. I do not know how. I was attacked. I almost died!" I begged. This was what the system had told before. The backstory was that I got trapped in the cave while I was running away from soone.
"You expect to believe the lies that you spout?!" Liu Qian shouted with anger.
"I was trapped in a cave. Uncle Du rescued . You can ask him. The boulder that blocked the cave was not sothing that I could move even an inch, let alone block myself in a cave with. You must 09:20
believe father!" I cried. I was a victim after all. Not the culprit.

"Qian'er. Wait. Let him finish. I know that there is so truth to what he said. There are people within the Bai family who wanted him to die. After all, no one wants this boy to marry their precious jade beauty. But there is not much that we can do. We have to wait for the city lord's gathering two months later. After that, the marriage agreent will be dissolved, and then you can punish your boy however you want." Liu Hong said.
I was confused. A marriage agreent? It seed that this body was so stupid that he let go of a wife that he would have had? I could not believe it. How could anyone be so stupid? If he had a surefire win, then he should have held on to it.
"Feng'er. Go back ho. Your mother is waiting for you. I have sothing that I want to ask the rest of the council. More particularly, why the second elder called for the entire council to et." Liu Qian looked at the man opposite to him with eyes filled with anger.
"What are you talking about brother? I called everyone here because there is sothing obvious that needs to be done. Liu Feng is not a part of the family. He is just here in nasake. You know that. And yet, he tarnished the na, and now we lost a chance of an alliance with the Bai family because of him. I say that the marriage agreent be transferred to Kun's na. That way, we will still remain one of the three top families." the second elder, Liu Zhu, said with a sinister smile.
"We shall wait for the gathering two months hence. After that, we shall see what to do. Until then, we will wait. After all, that is all that we can do. The gathering is important. Also, make sure that all the young ones are properly trained these next two months. We need to get one of the five spots. A chance like this will never appear again. We need soone in the Xiantian stage within ten years. Or else, we will be in big trouble." Liu Hong said.
"Xiantian stage? That is the way that they asure cultivation? Then why is my cultivation asured in years? This does not make any sense to ." I thought to myself. I got up slowly and left the hall. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
