When Starlight Falls, When You Wake Up

Chapter 90 The Second Young Master Has Come Back

When Yuan Huan and Chu Ying walked to the foot of the mountain, there was almost nobody around. It was necessary to say that Mountain 221 was really a treasured place, different from the mountain where the Xing family's mansion was. Nothing here was eroded by the energy outside, which meant that everything was natural.

The trees in the forest were luxuriant, and there were bird chirps occasionally. They didn't speed up but walked in the green ocean. There were seeds of plants on the soft soil, which went deep into it after the two people stepped on them. Nobody knew if there would be new lives next year.

In no time, a mansion showed up in front of them. Chu Ying was quite familiar with this mansion, yet he had no feeling for it now.

Different from the Xing family's mansion which was heavily guarded, there was nobody in front of the door of the Chu family's mansion or anything like a moat. This mansion had a modern style and wasn't like the Xing family's mansion which was antique and kept the ancient structure. It was like a modern villa, and the only difference must be the area, which was more than ten times as large as a villa.

There was no energy wave around the mansion, and seen from outside, it was not special at all. Because of this, nobody came to see it out of curiosity. Of course, the spies were not included. Such a structure happened to provide the spies with convenience.

They approached it slowly and nothing stopped them. The grand villa showed up completely before their eyes next second. Although they couldn't feel energy waves, it still looked majestic.

Nobody welcomed them, but it didn't mean that they had no way to inform the family. As a modern villa, a doorbell was essential to it. Yuan Huan walked forward slowly and approached the door with dark red paint. Then he pressed the doorbell.

"Ring..."

The doorbell rang, with a loud sound, which resounded in the mansion and broke the peaceful atmosphere.

In a short while, they heard rapid footsteps from inside and then a voice. "Excuse me. Who are you? Who do you want to see?"

He was highly alert and just asked behind the door, preparing to refuse the visitors at any time.

"We are from the group of warriors with ritual articles in the Elemental Star Headquarters. We came to cooperate with the Chu family," Yuan Huan answered in a deep voice and felt displeased as the other party shut the door and didn't come out.

"The Chu family doesn't contact the outside world or join any forces," The man behind the door responded and then said, "You can leave now."

Hearing the tone of this person in the Chu family, Yuan Huan felt that it was laughable. Not long ago, one of the top three families, the Xing family had just allied with the Bloodline Warriors in the Elemental Star Headquarters, and they said the same words with the same attitude in the beginning, but in front of the interests, any rules in society were as transient as fleeting clouds and disappeared.

"Oh? Really? You told us to go? Don't you have a look at the man next to me?" Yuan Huan asked unhurriedly.

After hearing that, the man behind the door looked outside through the peephole in the door and saw that there was somebody else standing next to the speaker. He didn't notice this one dressed in black clothes earlier. Although the other man was not as tall and big as the speaker, he showed unutterable cold breath, and his cruel face made people feel scared.

"Can I ask who the man next to you is?" After all, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and Chu Ying had changed greatly. His temperament changed, and even his face changed after he got the ritual article, the ghostly spear. His face was more angular, so it naturally gave others an horrible aura.

"This man used to be the second young master of the Chu family, and the second son of your family master, Chu Ying." Seeing that Chu Ying didn't want to speak out his identity personally that he almost forgot, Yuan Huan answered for him.

"What? Chu...Chu Ying? Do you mean the second young master Chu Ying?" The man behind the door exclaimed. "Please wait a moment. I will report to the family master." The man's voice went away, his steps hurried. Obviously, he was shocked by this information.

Yuan Huan turned to Chu Ying, with a faint smile on his face. Then he whispered, "It's surprising that our second young master Chu Ying's name is still so loud after it appears again." There was raillery in his tone.

Chu Ying didn't say anything but still looked serious and cruel. His hatred toward this family was as strong as his current strength, and he tried hard to control himself, so he didn't vent the horrible emotions. Otherwise, he would put all living things in great misery.

In the past, because his father and elder brother depressed him repeatedly, and all the resources in the family were given to his elder brother. Although he was more gifted than his brother, he was surpassed by his brother who had been promoted after being nourished with panacea. In the end, he was kicked out by the family officially. This was the competition in the family, and there was no personal consideration or fairness. When he was born, everything was doomed.

So, when he came to the door of the Chu family again, his fury could be imagined.

...

In the meeting hall of the Chu family.

"What? Chu Ying has come back?" The family master Chu Shengxi sitting in the master's seat asked in surprise. Then he continued to ask, "Are you sure?"

"I am not sure. I haven't seen the second young master for many years, and he has changed greatly. But I can be sure that the aura from the man called the second young master is much more powerful than the second young master in the past."

"Oh? Aha..." Chu Shengxi sneered and then looked serious and angry. He got up from the chair. "This unfilial son even has the face to come back. He doesn't take our family rules seriously."

While speaking, Chu Shengxi seemed to realize something all of a sudden and then asked in a deep voice, "You said that the other one came on behalf of the warriors with ritual articles in the Elemental Star Headquarters?"

"More exactly, both the second young master and he represent the warriors with ritual articles in the Elemental Star Headquarters," The messenger replied respectfully.

"Huh." Chu Shengxi snorted and then sat in the chair again, saying in a deep voice, "Tell them to come in. I will see what he can do." There was cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes."

Yuan Huan and Chu Ying waited outside the door yet didn't have negative emotions out of long-waiting. They knew that the words "Chu Ying" were like a stepping-stone and forced the Chu family to react to their arrival.

As expected, in a short time, the hurried footsteps appeared again.

Clang, the dark red door was opened, and a short man showed up in front of them. He was the speaker behind the door.

"Our family master invited you in." While speaking, he leaned to one side and gestured for them to come in. Then he looked at the door and quickly closed it after confirming that there was nobody else.

"This way, please." The man came to them and glanced at Chu Ying again. Then he walked ahead and led the way.

The two followed him and didn't make sounds. Yuan Huan looked around, to see that the villa was especially bright, with all kinds of lights on the roof regularly, which made the villa bright all the time like in the daytime.

Chu Ying's eyes were still as calm as water, and he followed them silently. He looked straight ahead and tried to prevent himself from looking around. Even though he hadn't been back for more than ten years, and he had broken off all relations with the Chu family, to him, everything around brought back the painful memories of his childhood like tides.

After turning several corners and passing some stairs, the man soon brought them to the meeting hall.

Although it was a meeting hall, there were no modern long table and rows of chairs. It was just a spacious and huge room like a hall. At the moment, there were three people in this room.

Chu Shengxi sat in the master's seat. His hair had been tidied up carefully, and his eye sockets were sunken. His long purple coat showed his noble identity. Seeing the three coming in, he looked ferocious, with cold light flashing in his eyes.

The people standing next to him were his wife Ms. He and his first son Chu Tian, Chu Ying's elder brother.

Although there was no killing intent in Chu Tian's eyes, they were full of disdain. He disdained to face his younger brother, who had begged him hard for mercy in the past.

"You are so bold. Have you forgotten that you suffered a lot and begged for mercy in the past?" Chu Tian said disdainfully, with sarcasm in his tone obviously.

When Chu Ying entered this room, he had returned calm, and the horrible momentum floating around him was concealed, so the conceited Chu Tian expressed his disdain after feeling that there was almost no momentum around Chu Ying.

Chu Ying didn't say anything but followed Yuan Huan and stood still ten meters away from the three. He raised his head which had been lowered.

However, when he raised his head, it made the three's pupils shrink involuntarily.

What kind of pupils were they? They were empty, yet only his glance made the three feel frightened from their souls.
