Chapter Ten Strength is Important

  After ordering his servants to prepare a rich lunch for himself and comforting his stomach, Yi Chi sat in the courtyard and began to familiarize himself with his powers.

  At the same time, he was also waiting for his father. After all, this nominal waste of a fifth young master had actually beaten a servant to death today. It wasn't anything among his older brothers, but it was a big deal here. After all, everyone knew that the fifth young master of the Yi family not only was a waste, but also had a very weak personality.

  As expected——

  It wasn't long before the gate of Jinghe Yard was pushed open by a group of people, and standing in the center was a middle-aged man with white hair. Yi Chi recognized him as one of their family's guard captains, seemingly named You Rang.

  "Master Wu, the old master wants to see you in the study." He didn't give Yi Chi any face at all, directly using a commanding tone towards him.

  His eyes signaled the two guards beside him to take away Yi Chi, but he himself stood by and watched. Although he had heard that Yi Chi had beaten up a servant, he didn't think that someone who could only beat up servants was worthy of his own intervention.

  "Hmm."

  He snorted, looking at You Rong's disdainful expression, Yi Chi got angry, but he was clear that with his slightly improved strength, he still couldn't beat the captain of the guard. However, Yi Chi also believed that he wouldn't dare to do anything to him, at most give him a warning.

  "Master Wu, please." Two guards stepped forward, standing on either side of Yi Chi, as if they would take action if he didn't cooperate.

  "Hehe, Captain, are you inviting me or arresting me?" Yi Chi smiled mischievously at You Rang.

  "It's natural to invite Fifth Young Master, please do so." Ruan Yu thought it was strange that this waste suddenly became bold today, but he didn't suspect him either. As a three-star Dou Shi, he wouldn't care about a waste who couldn't cultivate Dou Qi.

  The two guards who seemed to feel very embarrassed when they heard their captain speak again wanted to reach out and hold back Yi Chi.

  Yi Chi sensed the intentions of the two people behind him and dodged their outstretched hands.

  He quickly took a step back with his right foot and slammed both shoulders into the two guards who were still in shock.

  "Bang...bang."

  This time, Yi Chi used his full strength. The two eight-star Dou Shi guards were no match for him and were immediately knocked flying out. Their bodies heavily crashed into the wall behind them.

  "Master Wu, you're being too reckless." Seeing his two subordinates exchange blows, Ruan immediately wanted to take matters into his own hands.

  He knew he couldn't beat Yu Rong's Yi Chi, so he wouldn't go forward and fight desperately. He wasn't that stupid.

  "How dare you, Captain, think of laying hands on me? You're just a dog in our Yi family, what qualifications do you have? You're really overestimating yourself!" Yi Chi sneered with disdain.

  He knew that Ruan didn't dare move him, so what was he afraid of?

  "You... good! It seems that Young Master Wu is not incapable of cultivating after all. Hmph, I'll take my leave. However, it's best if you explain things to the master yourself." Yu Ran thought about taking action and killing this little brat in front of him, but he couldn't do anything because, just as Yi Chi said, he was nothing more than a dog of the Yi family. No matter how strong a dog was, it wouldn't dare touch the infant of its master's household.

  The two guards who had brought shame upon themselves were dragged away by the eunuchs as Ren stormed out of the Jinghe Courtyard with a furious face.

  Until Ruan Yang really left, Yi Chi relaxed, he was just afraid that Ruan Yang would suddenly lose his temper and kill him without caring about anything, then he would be tragic.

  "Damn it, strength is everything. If I were a martial king or a martial saint, these trash wouldn't dare to be arrogant in front of me. Even if I didn't have this Nine-Orifice Body, they would still treat me with respect as the Fifth Young Master of the Yi family. But now, they don't even put me in their eyes." Yi Chi once again deeply realized the importance of strength. If he hadn't just strengthened his physical quality, he would have been humiliated by a small servant today. If he weren't the Fifth Young Master of the Yi family, that Yu Ran might have taken his life today. Everything is because his strength isn't strong enough.

  "After meeting Father later, I'll go buy the magic core. It's getting urgent, who knows what other dangers are ahead." Yi Chi made up his mind and stopped delaying, quickly walking out of Jinghe Yard towards Yunyu Yard where his father was.

  ......

  In front of Yunyu Temple.

  He didn't even bother to glance at the two indifferent gatekeepers, Yi Chi quickly walked towards the study room, thinking about how he should respond later.

  The footsteps stopped in front of the study door.

  "Father, I request an audience."

  With a respectful bow, in front of the Dou Wang, Yi Chui Ke did not dare to be presumptuous, even if that was his own father.

  "Come in." A stern voice entered Yi Chi's ears.

  He pushed open the door and entered.

  All he saw was Yi Yun standing in front of a bookshelf, holding a book and reading it.

  "Father." Yi Chi called out, he came in and saw the father of this life staring at a book, didn't know what he meant, could only call out.

  "Alright, sit down." Yi Yun looked up and glanced at Yi Chi, also putting down his book, walked over to the desk and sat down.

  Yi Chi also sat down on the guest seat after hearing this.

  "I heard you beat up your servant. Tell me, what's going on." Yiyun Lao took a sip of his tea, his eyes gleaming with interest.

  It's not as easy for Yi Chi as it is for him. Since he entered this study, he has always felt very depressed and can't relax at all.

  Now hearing Yi Yun's question, he didn't dare hesitate and immediately started answering.

  "Yes, father, you also know that I have no status at home. Usually, these servants look down on me, and it's not just them, I'm useless, a waste. But I've changed now, father. Half a month ago, I bought a bead in the market that was said to be a family heirloom. After bringing it back, I discovered that there was a mysterious mechanism inside. Maybe it was good luck, but I accidentally broke open the bead and found a dan medicine inside. I knew I had no hope of cultivating qi in this lifetime, so I made up my mind and swallowed the dan medicine. Afterwards, although I still couldn't cultivate, I found my body getting stronger and stronger. By today, it's almost on par with those nine-star dou servants who cultivate. That's why I couldn't help but teach him a lesson." Yi Chi knew his father was relatively kind to him, so he pretended to be sad as he spoke.

  Staring at Yi Chi for a while, Yi Yun's eyes dimmed and he shook his head.

  "It's me who owes you and your mother! Back then, your mother was pregnant with you when she got seriously injured by the enemy while trying to save me. She passed away after giving birth to you, perhaps it was fate. Your mother never liked cultivating or the violent life that came with it, but you were born with a rare nine-leakage body, which suited her wishes. Alas! Unfortunately, I failed as a father, and I'm aware of the family situation. Your mother wanted you to live an ordinary life, but since you're already born into this powerful clan, there's no way to change that now. How could you possibly lead an ordinary life? These years have been tough on you!"

  Yi Yun's feelings for Yi Chi's mother were deep, but the greatest was that sense of guilt. For so many years, he knew what kind of life his youngest son was living, but what could he do? He had done everything he could, but that only ensured Yi Chi wouldn't be touched on the surface. True, he was the master of the Yi family, but the world's system was like this - might makes right. No matter how powerful your background was, others would still look down on you, even if they didn't dare say it out loud, they would despise you in their hearts. This was something he couldn't change.

  He let out a sigh and felt that he was already powerless. Yi Yun couldn't help but get up and walk to Yi Chi's side.

  Yi Yun came over to his side, and Yi Chi also stood up.

  Patted Yi Chi's shoulder, and Yi Yun forced a smile.

  "Well, this is also your good fortune. Even if you can't cultivate, at least you have some real power now. I believe the days ahead will be better for you. Let me assign someone to assist you."

  "No need, Father. I can take care of myself. Even if you change it, it's still the same, and it's better not to have one." Yi Chi refused Yi Yun's kindness. Now he was going to do some shady business, how could he let someone stay by his side? That would be too insecure.

  "Whatever... just suit yourself then. Feel free to drop by and sit for a while when you're free, alright? Nothing else to say, you can go now." Yiyun thought about it too and didn't insist anymore.

  "Yes, I'll take my leave." He bowed and made a gesture of farewell, then backed out of the study, walking slowly with his heart full.

  "Whatever, I don't want to think about it anymore. It's fine like this now, I've made things clear with Father. From now on, I'll be freer too, hehe." He shook his head and stopped thinking about those conspiracies. Yi Chi believed that with this exchange space, tomorrow would definitely be better.
