Having been given a second chance at life, I choose to join the Demonic Sect!

Chapter 192 Abandoned Pawn! (Seeking monthly votes and recommendations!)
Seeing that Zuo Hanquan had removed the soundproof barrier, Zuo Zhong quickly asked:

"Father, what did you say to her?"

Zuo Zhong is now a cripple who can no longer cultivate, and he is very worried about his status in the Zuo family.

Zuo Zhong was a little scared that his status as the eldest son of the emperor would be stripped!
In fact, Zuo Zhong's worries were unnecessary. Given his current situation, even if he retained his status as the eldest son, it wouldn't change the fact that he was a discarded pawn.

In cultivation families, anyone who cannot cultivate will only have one fate—being abandoned.

Zuo Yuerong looked at Zuo Hanquan with a smile and replied:
“My dear brother, Father and I didn’t say anything, except that Shen Siluo was faking illness!”

Sometimes, those involved are confused, while bystanders see things clearly.

Only fools would be fooled by Shen Siluo's little tricks.

When news of Shen Siluo, the phoenix girl of the Shen family, going mad with qi deviation spread, Zuo Yuerong sensed something was wrong. So she investigated and actually found out the truth.

"Siluo, is she faking illness?"

Zuo Yuerong's words were like a good medicine, making the seriously injured Zuo Zhong feel refreshed and forget his pain!
"That's right, Shen Siluo faked the appearance of being possessed by a demon by using specially made pills!"

Zuo Yuerong affirmed this, but she felt it wasn't enough and decided to add insult to injury.

"My dear brother, I have some news to tell you: Shen Siluo is no longer a virgin!"

"You, an impure and wicked woman, actually let your fiancée sacrifice her life for yours! It's laughable!"

Shen Siluo's loss of virginity was not a matter of purity; it was only discovered unintentionally by Zuo Yuerong when she was investigating Shen Siluo's demonic possession.

Zuo Yuerong felt that her sycophantic younger brother was really pathetic!

In order to lick the lips of a wicked woman, he lost his fiancée, and his cultivation and dantian were also destroyed, turning him into a cripple.

Now, within the Zuo family, he can only be a discarded pawn.

It really proves the popular saying these days: a simp who keeps fawning will end up with nothing.

"puff!"

Zuo Zhong felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Zuo Yuerong, what do you mean by that?"

"What on earth do you know?"

Ignoring the blood from the corner of his mouth, Zuo Zhong frantically questioned Zuo Yuerong, desperate to get the truth from her.

"My dear brother, you'll have to ask your Shen Siluo about that!"

Zuo Yuerong felt that it was better for Shen Siluo to tell Zuo Zhong some things herself, as that would be more impactful.

Zuo Zhong wanted to ask more questions, but Zuo Hanquan interrupted him, saying:

"Zuo Zhong, take good care of your injuries during this time."

"You don't need your cultivation resources anymore, so give them to your sister for now!"

Although Zuo Hanquan did not say it directly, his meaning was obvious: Zuo Zhong was abandoned, and from then on, Zuo Zhong was a discarded pawn.

Zuo Zhong panicked. He knew that what Zuo Hanquan meant by "temporary" might actually be "forever."

"Father, I am your only son!"

"My injuries will definitely heal, you can't give up on me!"

In order not to be abandoned, Zuo Zhong started to play the emotional card.

But playing the emotional card is only effective if you have the qualifications to do so!

"Zuo Zhong, take good care of your injuries!"

Zuo Hanquan didn't say much. Zuo Zhong's dantian was ruined. What was the point of not giving up on him?
As for healing Zuo Zhong's injuries, are you kidding me?
Even if the Zuo family were only a second-rate power, a first-rate power might not be able to heal a destroyed dantian.

If a destroyed dantian were so easy to heal, why would a cultivator's dantian be so important?

Putting aside the fact that the Zuo family doesn't have the means to heal Zuo Zhong's dantian, even if they did, Zuo Hanquan wouldn't waste it on Zuo Zhong.

Zuo Zhong's foolish behavior over the years has made his father, Zuo Hanquan, utterly disappointed in him.

After Zuo Hanquan finished speaking, he left, and Zuo Yuerong quickly followed.

On the way, Zuo Hanquan asked Zuo Yuerong:
"Yuerong, what do you think we should do next?" Zuo Yuerong pursed her lips and smiled, "Father, you know what to do!"

Zuo Yuerong sometimes felt speechless about her father, Zuo Hanquan, even though everyone knew what was going on and what to do.

But the other party deliberately asked me this question, wanting to test me.

Do you really think you're as stupid as Zuo Zhong, needing to be constantly tested?

"Yuerong, the Zuo family will eventually be handed over to you. Right now, there are some urgent matters for you to handle!"

Zuo Hanquan directly stated that he was relinquishing power, as he still believed in his daughter's wisdom.

Even compared to himself, he is far superior.

"Ok!"

Zuo Yuerong nodded, and then the father and daughter immediately separated.

Time is of the essence, and the father and daughter must separate to handle matters.

Whether the Zuo family will live like monkeys or die like chickens depends on this one battle!

While the Zuo family was busy, Zuo Zhong summoned his servants and quietly left the Zuo family home. He was going to inquire about the truth.

At the entrance of the Shen family mansion of the Imperial Historian...

Despite the pain from his injuries, Zuo Zhong came to the Shen family to ask Shen Siluo and Zuo Yuerong whether their words were true or false.

When the servant guarding the gate of the Shen family saw Zuo Zhong arrive, he quickly greeted him:

"This humble servant greets the son-in-law!"

Zuo Zhong is engaged to Shen Siyu, so Zuo Zhong is Shen's son-in-law in name only.

But the servant didn't know that Shen Siyu was already dead, and that the marriage between Zuo Zhong and Shen Siyu was now just a formality.

The servant of the Shen family addressed him as "son-in-law," which made Zuo Zhong feel somewhat uncomfortable.

He still remembered that when he went up Xiangyun Mountain, he promised Shen Siyu that he would protect her, but now she was no longer there.

Are you really wrong?
No, it's all that demonic cultivator's fault.

It was that demonic cultivator who crippled him, causing him to become an outcast of the Zuo family, and also costing his fiancée Shen Siyu her life.

If that demonic cultivator had offered to deliver the pills, we wouldn't have had to climb the mountain, and this whole mess wouldn't have happened.

……

When Zuo Zhong arrived at Shen Siluo's courtyard, he saw Shen's mother, Madam Du, holding Shen Siluo's hand as they admired the flowers.

The smile on Madam Du's face showed no sign of grief over the loss of her daughter, indicating that the death of her daughter Shen Siyu had no impact on her whatsoever.

"Zuo Zhong, what are you doing here?"

When Du saw Zuo Zhong, her expression turned cold, and she seemed somewhat displeased.

"aunt!"

Zuo Zhong could see Du's displeasure, and he was also displeased, but he endured it for Shen Siluo's sake.

Thinking back to when he still had his cultivation, this old woman would call him her worthy son-in-law all the time.

Now that he's been crippled, this old woman is giving him attitude.

Although he had been crippled, he was still the legitimate son of the Zuo family.

Du Shi: What kind of legitimate son of the Zuo family is he? He's just a useless person who can't cultivate, destined to be abandoned by the Zuo family.

"Ok!"

Although Du disliked Zuo Zhong now, she still responded out of respect for the Zuo family's authority.
"Auntie, I also have something I'd like to say to Silu alone. Please do me the favor!"

Zuo Zhongshi didn't want to ask Du Shi directly, so he thought of getting the other party away.

"Ok!"

Du was extremely sparing with her words when speaking to Zuo Zhong. After giving Shen Siluo a brief reminder, she went to the side by herself.
