Clan Teachings

The Chen family’s backyard.

By the time Chen Daoxuan and his group arrived, the Chen family’s backyard was already in a state of chaos.

In front of them, an eight or nine-year-old boy was being held in the arms of a young woman in her twenties.

The young woman’s face was pale, and her lightly powdered face was filled with fear.

However, her hands were tightly wrapped around the little boy’s body, afraid that the vicious woman would harm the child.

Meanwhile, the little boy in the young woman’s arms was staring at the vicious woman with fire spewing out of his eyes. He wanted to struggle, but his mother firmly held him down.

The person who had been cursing was the vicious woman. Her appearance was not bad, but her face revealed a bitter and unkind look.

One of her hands was placed on her waist while the other was pointed at the young woman who had collapsed on the ground. All kinds of unpleasant words kept coming out of her mouth.

Something about being a slave from the Cloud Nation? Something about being born a b*tch? Something about the child she gave birth to also being a b*tch…

Anyhow, all kinds of nasty and heart-wrenching words kept coming out of her mouth.

She was so excited that she did not even notice that someone had come into the backyard.

“Why aren’t you talking anymore? Are you mute?”

Like a victorious general, the evil woman looked around at the surrounding servants.

However, the servants seemed to have seen some inexplicably fearful scene. They all knelt on the ground and called out in unison, “Master, Madam!”

Upon hearing these words, the vicious woman felt a chill run down her spine. She turned around awkwardly and realized that it was the eldest madam, whom she usually feared the most, and the master, whose face was filled with anger.

“M-master!”

The vicious woman acted as if she was putting on a show. She immediately changed her acrimonious expression into one that made people feel that she was tender and lovable. She said coquettishly, “Master, you have to stand up for me. These two b*itches bullied my Tong’er again when I wasn’t paying attention.”

“You’re talking nonsense. I didn’t. She was clearly the one who snatched my little wooden figure…”

The little boy in the young woman’s arms was unconvinced. He was about to defend himself further, but his mother covered his mouth tightly.

The little boy’s eyes were about to spew fire. Unfortunately, his strength was too weak. He could not struggle out of his mother’s grasp at all.

He could only stare at the evil woman with a rage-filled gaze and silently complain.

“Pa!”

However, Chen Liangyu, who was both angry and embarrassed, did not allow her to argue her way out of the situation at all. He immediately gave his second wife a slap.

This slap threw the entire backyard of the Chen residence into chaos instantly.

The cries of the little girl and the cries of the evil woman could be heard endlessly.

“Enough!”

Chen Liangyu shouted loudly and glared angrily at the people who were quarreling.

Under his intimidating gaze and words, everyone, including the little girl, did not dare to cry anymore.

The evil woman was even worse; she was so scared that her face turned pale.

Seeing that the situation was finally under control, Chen Liangyu bowed to Chen Daoxuan and said, “Young clan leader, this subordinate is really…”

“Young clan leader?”

Hearing Chen Liangyu’s words, everyone’s expression changed.

Chen Daoxuan raised his hand and stopped Chen Liangyu from apologizing.

He took a few steps forward and squatted down in front of the young woman. “Can I take a look at this child?”

When she heard this, the young woman instinctively hugged the child a little tighter. However, when she thought of this person’s identity, she could not help but let go of the child.

The little boy wiggled himself out of his mother’s grasp and gasped, “Mother, you’re suffocating me.”

“Your name is Chen Nianchu, right?”

Hearing this, the little boy turned to look at Chen Daoxuan and said warily, “Who are you? What does my name have to do with you? Are you here to bully us too?”

As he said this, he opened his little hand and shielded his mother behind him.

“I’m here to help you.”

He shook his head, “Can you come over and let me take a look?”

Hearing this, the little boy looked at his mother with an inquiring look. After receiving a positive response, he walked over unwillingly.

“What do you want to do to me?”

Chen Daoxuan smiled slightly and did not say anything.

He directly placed his jade-like right hand on the little boy’s head.

A moment later, as Chen Daoxuan circulated his true Qi in his dantian, a ray of multicolored light covered the little boy’s head.

This ray of multicolored light shone exceptionally brightly amidst the night. Even everyone who saw it from a distance felt that it was somewhat dazzling.

“This…”

Seeing this ray of multicolored light, Chen Liangyu immediately thought of the records in the clan’s ancient books.

Multicolored light that reached the skies, it represented the bearing of an immortal!

Chen Liangyu had never thought that his son actually had the bearing of an immortal, and possessed the potential for immortal cultivation.

However, he then thought of something else, and Chen Liangyu’s face turned pale again.

As expected, after Chen Daoxuan finished inspecting Chen Nianchu’s spiritual root aptitude, he turned his head to look at Chen Liangyu and the evil woman who was covering her face after being slapped by him, and said, “Do you know your crime?”

Even though that evil woman had been showing off in front of the little boy’s mother, she did not dare to argue in front of the young clan leader who was even more terrifying than her husband. She immediately knelt on the ground and did not dare to utter a word.

“Chen Liangyu.”

Seeing that the evil woman did not speak, Chen Daoxuan turned to Chen Liangyu and called out his name.

“Your subordinate is here!”

Chen Liangyu immediately knelt down and lowered his head.

“What is the third rule of the Chen clan?”

When he heard this, before Chen Liangyu could speak, the evil woman beside him was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground.

Chen Liangyu pursed his lips tightly. Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and kicked his second wife. He cursed loudly, “You b*tch, I told you not to bully others for no reason. You’ve shamed the entire household. B*tch…”

Chen Liangyu beat and cursed until the other party hugged her legs and begged for mercy.

Seeing her like this, Chen Liangyu’s heart softened, but then he hardened his heart and continued to beat her.

“Enough!”

Chen Daoxuan said, “Chen Liangyu, I will ask you again. What is the third rule of the Chen clan?”

Hearing this, Chen Liangyu collapsed to the ground like a deflated rubber ball.

His face was ashen as he replied, “Any member of the Chen clan who humiliates his clansmen for no reason shall be sentenced to two years of hard labor. Any person who humiliates a mortal with a spiritual root for no reason shall be sentenced to…”

“Sentenced to what?”

“Death!”

The last word seemed to have exhausted all of Chen Liangyu’s strength.

He looked at Chen Daoxuan with a face full of despair, hoping that Chen Daoxuan would show mercy.

However, Chen Liangyu knew very well that any qualified clan leader would definitely enforce the clan rules, and he had always thought of Chen Daoxuan as a qualified clan leader.

As expected, Chen Daoxuan pointed at the evil woman and looked at the little boy. “Tell me, did she bully you?”

The little boy was about to speak, but his mother stopped him.

The young woman shook her head desperately at the little boy. She pleaded softly, “Chu’er, don’t.”

The little boy gritted his teeth. He looked at his mother, and then at the evil woman who had a look of despair on her face. He took a deep breath and said, “She didn’t bully me. I was just playing with my sister.”

When she heard this, the evil woman felt that her soul had finally returned to her body and she fell to the ground.

Hearing this, everyone present heaved a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, Chen Daoxuan walked up to the evil woman and said, “Tell me, why did you choose to bully them tonight? Didn’t you know that I was going to be a guest at the Chen residence tonight?”

Hearing this, Chen Liangyu finally reacted.

That’s right!

He had clearly told his wife that he was going to invite the young clan leader to his house today so that she would be well-prepared.

How could such a thing happen?

Unless…

He looked at his wife whom he had known for many years, and an unbelievable thought appeared in his mind.

Could it be that all of this was planned by his wife behind his back?

Why though?

Suddenly, a terrifying thought emerged in his heart, but he could not believe that it was real.

“It was you!”

The second madam was not stupid. She instantly realized who was behind this.

She pointed at the first madam and said, “It’s you, isn’t it? It must be you! You’re afraid that Nian Chu would steal Yun Sheng’s status as the primary descendant, so you wanted to get rid of him! No, get rid of the two of us. You’re so ruthless!”

Hearing this accusation, Madam Chen would naturally not admit it.

She said with a pale face, “Don’t slander me. What does it have to do with me if you bully them? Did I ask you to bully them?”

Seeing this scene unfold, Chen Daoxuan’s face turned cold.

He had thought that since the Chen clan had Chen Xianhe, the clan leader who worked hard for the clan, and Chen Beiwang, the pure-hearted clan member who was willing to sacrifice his life for the clan, the Chen clan was definitely a clan without any dirt.

However, now, it seemed that there was darkness hidden everywhere.

The key point was…

Regarding Madam Chen’s actions, even Chen Daoxuan could not accuse her without proof. She had completely taken advantage of Chen Liangyu’s second wife’s jealousy and her harsh character.

In the words of his previous life, this was a case of using a borrowed knife to kill someone.

He looked at Chen Liangyu, and then looked at Chen Yunsheng and the other wives of the Chen family. He said in an ethereal voice, “Do you still remember the teachings of our Chen clan?”

“Do you remember?”

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Daoxuan became really angry and shouted loudly.

“I… I…”

Chen Liangyu knelt on the ground and lowered his head.

Seeing this, Chen Yunsheng also knelt with his father. In the end, everyone in the Chen residence, including the first wife, second wife, and even Chen Liangyu’s youngest daughter, all knelt there.

In the end, Chen Liangyu felt as if a ball of fire was burning in his heart. His face flushed red as the ancient ancestral teachings slowly came out of his mouth:

“The blood of the Chen clan is the blood of the Chen clan!”

“The blood of the Chen clan is the blood of the Chen clan! Chen Liangyu, tell me, where does the blood of the Chen clan come from?”

Chen Daoxuan stared at him and stared at the Chen family.

All of them lowered their heads and did not dare to look at him.

Chen Nianchu looked at the scene unfolding in front of him, and there was a faint flame burning in his eyes.

He clenched his small fists tightly and felt a warm current in his chest. It was the boiling blood of the Chen clan!

Chen Daoxuan walked beside him and said in a voice that could only be heard by him, “Do you like this kind of Chen clan?”

This sentence seemed to remind the little boy of many unpleasant memories.

He shook his head and said, “I don’t like it!”

“Then, together, let’s change it so that you will like it, okay?”

Chen Daoxuan lowered his head and just happened to meet Chen Nianchu’s small eyes.

Chen Nianchu seemed to see something different in the eyes of this big brother in front of him. It was something that he had been looking forward to for a long time, but had never been able to get his hands on.

For some reason, he nodded. “Okay.”

He thought about it. “But, I have a request.”

“What?”

“Why don’t you become my father?”

Chen Daoxuan: “…”
