A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

Chen Yu looked at his father's dignified and aged face. What would happen if he knew what was going to happen next?

He shook his head, stopping himself from overthinking.

As long as he isn't stripped of his position as head of the family, what does it matter to him?

Before he could even react, his father's hand had already landed on Chen Yu's left ear.

With a sharp twist, Chen Yu nearly cried out in pain.

"Father, Father, it's going to fall!"

Old Chen asked in a deep voice, "What are you spacing out for? Are you unhappy to see that I'm still alive?"

These words nearly made Chen Yu kneel down on the spot, and he hurriedly denied it, saying, "No, no, no, how could I think that?!"

Old Chen urged, "Then hurry up and take me to see your elder brother!"

Chen Yu nodded repeatedly, leading his father away from the Chen family's forbidden area. Passing by the Chen family's martial arts arena, they saw the Chen family's martial arts stage reduced to rubble.

At first glance, Old Chen thought his eyesight was failing.

After all, this martial arts arena was built piece by piece from black steel rock that he and his family elders mined when he was young.

He was perfectly aware of its hardness.

Even if there are a few exceptionally talented juniors who have reached the Enlightenment Realm, they will still have to fight against the younger generation in the family.

It will absolutely not cause any damage to the training ground.

He rubbed his eyes again and looked once more.

That's right, the training ground, which was made of blocks of black steel rock, was indeed reduced to dust.

Old Chen's eyes widened subconsciously, and he quickened his pace as he walked towards the martial arts stage.

Looking at the neat breaks, Old Chen felt a surge of anger.

He rebuked Chen Yu, "This is a martial arts training ground built for the younger generation of the Chen family back then."

"Which two old geezers went up on stage without permission and caused damage to the martial arts arena?!"

Chen Yu had no way to express his grievances regarding his father's many questions.

If he had known, he would have pretended not to know about his father's return from seclusion, just like his elder brother Chen Zhaowu, and stayed obediently in the mansion.

Since his father had asked, Chen Yu had no choice but to answer truthfully: "The martial arts arena... was damaged by Xiao Yue."

Upon hearing Chen Yue's name, Old Chen's tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed.

"What level of cultivation does Yue'er possess now? How could her strength be so formidable?"

Based on Chen Yue's performance in the competition, Chen Yu shared his guess.

"Xiao Yue's strength has reached the Condensation Origin Realm."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's reply, Old Chen's mood brightened, and a radiant smile appeared on his otherwise serious face.

"Condensation Realm? Good, very good!"

"Second brother, how many years have I been in seclusion?"

Chen Yu thought for a moment and immediately replied, "Six years."

Old Chen muttered to himself, "Six years... Yue'er is already at the Source Condensation stage at fifteen?!"

"His talent is far superior to that of his father back then!"

Old Chen smiled happily, and even Chen Yu seemed much more pleasing to the eye now.

"Repair the training ground as soon as possible, so as not to delay the next generation's competition."

"Yes, father!"

After saying this, the two continued towards the Chen family and soon arrived at Chen Zhaowu's residence.

The Chen family servants who were still in the courtyard all wisely left as soon as they saw Chen Yu.

Chen Yu stood in front of the door and knocked gently.

"Big brother, I've come to see you!"

Chen Zhaowu sat in the room, looking at Chen Yu's figure through the window in the door.

He said listlessly, "Second brother, I want to rest. You can leave now."

"Big...Big Brother, it's not that I want to see you, please open the door first."

Chen Yu knocked on the door twice more, this time with more force.

At this time, Chen Zhaowu had no interest in anything.

She handed over the position of family head to her second brother, Chen Yu, simply because she wanted some peace and quiet and didn't want to deal with the Chen family's trivial matters anymore.

"Second brother, please go back. We can talk about it another time."

At this moment, Old Chen's right foot had already been raised.

With a bang, he kicked open Chen Zhaowu's door.

"Boss, your temper has gotten worse in just a few years!"

"He became the head of the Chen family, and now he doesn't even want to acknowledge his own father?!"

He strode into the house and walked toward Chen Zhaowu.

Seeing this, Chen Yu shook his head helplessly. There was no way to save them; there was truly no way to save them.

In this situation, he could only pray that his elder brother would have good fortune.

With a thud, Chen Zhaowu knelt on the ground without the slightest hesitation.

Even before Old Chen's voice reached them, the moment the door opened, he had already stood up and knelt on the ground.

His face showed an unprecedented panic.

"Father...Father?! What brings you here!"

"What? Shouldn't this old man have come?"

"It's time to come, of course it's time to come!"

Seeing Chen Zhaowu's dejected appearance, Old Chen felt a surge of anger.

How could the once-powerful head of the Chen family have become like this? Where is the dignity of a family head now?

"Why are you kneeling? Stand up right now!"

Chen Zhaowu quickly got up.

His face was full of exhaustion and helplessness, and he was sighing and groaning. He showed no signs of vitality and looked like a walking corpse.

This unusual behavior immediately caught Old Chen's attention.

In his memory, whenever Chen Zhaowu showed this emotion, it meant extreme sadness.

Chen Zhaowu raised a spirit beast, a rock dog, when he was young, but it was eventually poisoned to death by someone with malicious intent.

Back then, the Xuanyun Holy Land recruited many disciples, and Chen Zhaowu's brilliance was completely overshadowed by his third brother, Chen Chu. In the end, he decided to give up joining the Xuanyun Holy Land and choose to stay in the Chen family to succeed as the family head.

Whenever I'm in a bad mood, I put on this half-dead look.

Old Chen knew in his heart that something had happened to his eldest son.

At this moment, he was no longer the patriarch of the Chen family, nor a powerful expert at the Sun Wheel Realm.

He was just an old father, concerned about his children.

"Boss, tell me what happened during the six years I was in seclusion?"

Chen Zhaowu raised his head slightly and looked at his father's wrinkled old face, feeling a sense of peace in his heart.

So he told his father everything that had happened over the years.

Everything revolves around a young member of the Chen family, Chen Yue.

Chen Zhaowu recounted Chen Yue's experiences over the years to his father.

He went from being a prized prodigy of the Chen family, praised by everyone, to having his meridians severed overnight, turning him into a cripple.

After that, he was universally reviled, completely degenerated, and became a drunkard, turning into a good-for-nothing young master.

Without Chen Zhaowu's knowledge, Gao Fu removed his sacred body and placed it into Chen Ming's body.

Until recently, Chen Yue miraculously recovered and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he entered the Condensation Origin Realm in a short time.

Using a fake fragment of a Heavenly Rank manual, he swindled the Chen family out of tens of millions of high-grade source stones from Chen Zhaowu.

During the Chen family's grand competition, Chen Ming was publicly executed.

Upon hearing this, Old Chen understood everything.

Chen Zhaowu's current feelings are probably exactly the same as his feelings when he heard the news of Chen Chu's death back then.

Chen Ming, the eldest grandson, was killed in public by Chen Yue. Although Old Man Chen was angry, he thought about it again.

Such a tragic end, isn't it all their own fault?

Hearing about his grandson's experience made Chen Yue's heart ache even more.

As for Chen Ming, he's dead, so be it. He was a bad person from a young age, and he won't have a good ending when he grows up.

“My dear grandson Chen Yue, you have suffered so much these past years without your grandfather.”
