I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 172 is disgusting

Dongfang Shuo glanced at him, and as he walked inside, he asked with a forced smile, "Grandpa Yuan, why does my grandfather want to see me? Do you know what it's about?"

"Young Master Shuo, what are you saying? What could the clan leader possibly want with you? He just hasn't seen you in a long time and misses you."

"miss me?"

Upon hearing the "ha," Dongfang Shuo turned his head and glanced at the unfazed butler, inwardly cursing him as an old fox.

There were quite a few people sitting in the living room. In addition to the clan patriarch in the main seat, his three uncles and one younger uncle were also there. His sixth cousin, Dongfang Du, who had been trapped in the maze for three days last time, was also in the next room.

In addition, there are Dongfang Du's two younger brothers, as well as their father, who is also the clan chief's younger brother.

Everyone was present, except for the younger generation like Dongfang Yin.

After entering the door, Dongfang Shuo seemed like a different person. He first greeted his grandfather obediently, then addressed all the uncles and aunts, and finally looked at his father.

Dongfang Ya asked, "You've been on a six-hour bus ride. Did you eat anything when you got back?"

Dongfang Shuo replied truthfully, "No, Mom said you're at Grandpa's house and told me to come over right away."

The kind smile on Dongfang Ya's face vanished. "Doesn't she know you haven't eaten yet?"

Dongfang Shuo glanced at his father, lowered his head, and said nothing more.

He looked aggrieved and disappointed.

Dongfang Ya turned to the clan leader and said sadly, "Father, you've seen it yourself. She doesn't just care about me, she's completely indifferent to Ashu too. We haven't seen our child for years. She doesn't even miss him, and when we do meet, she's so cold. What's the difference between Ashu having a mother and not having one? I hope that when I file for divorce this time, you won't interfere?"

Dongfang Shuo's mother, Sha Yanxue, and her younger brother usually stayed in Kyoto. To be honest, even Dongfang Ya didn't expect them to return so suddenly.

He had long lost all affection for his wife; the two were practically strangers, and they rarely even made a phone call.

Logically, such a relationship should have ended in divorce long ago, but every time Dongfang Ya brought it up, his father, as the clan leader, would stop him.

The reason is that the Sha family, also a member of the Xuanmen sect, is not someone to be offended.

However, the Sha family has been declining in recent years, and its descendants are few, making it incomparable to the current Dongfang family.

"Fourth brother, you already have two children, and you still want a divorce? What nonsense are you talking about? Especially now that the Sha family is declining, those who know the truth know that you and your wife are not getting along; those who don't know will say that you are kicking someone when they're down, abandoning your wife and children while the Sha family is in decline. Do you want people to say that you are a heartless and ungrateful villain?"

The one who said this was Dongfang Jin, Dongfang Shuo's second uncle, who spoke with righteous indignation as if he were very just.

Dongfang Ya glanced at him indifferently and smiled, "Abandoning wife and children? What makes you say that, Second Brother? My Dongfang family is in Linchuan, and I rarely leave Linchuan unless necessary. But what about Sha Yanxue? She lives in the capital all year round. Has she ever cared about me, her husband? So it's not me who abandoned my wife, it's her who abandoned her husband. As for abandoning children, I've been raising A-Shuo since birth. It's still Sha Yanxue who doesn't care about our son. So, if we're talking about abandoning children, it should be her."

"I didn't say Ashuo, I said Aqi."

"Second Brother, are you sure Dongfang Qi is my son?"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire living room fell silent. Even Dongfang Shuo, who had been keeping his head down, abruptly looked up at his father, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. Dongfang Jin's eyelids twitched, and he forced a stern rebuke, "Fourth brother, what nonsense are you spouting? The child is so big already, whose child is it if not yours? You..."

"Since Second Brother trusts Sha Yanxue so much, why don't you guess who Dongfang Qi's son is?"

Everyone looked at Dongfang Jin, some with a knowing look and a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

Dongfang Shuo clenched his fists, his eyes cold.

Clan Chief Dongfang Mu frowned, looking at his two sons with displeasure.

Don't you know what the main purpose of sitting here today is? Why are you arguing about this for no reason?

He snapped, "Alright, don't bring up baseless rumors again. Ah Shuo just arrived today."

“Father, how could I say something so important without some basis? I have already done a paternity test with Dongfang Qi in private, and he is indeed not my son. You are an authority on divination and face reading. Why don’t you take a look at me and see if I am destined to have one son or two sons?”

Upon hearing that Dongfang Ya had already undergone a paternity test, a flicker of panic crossed Dongfang Jin's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and he quickly returned to normal, acting as if nothing had happened.

Dongfang Shuo had been watching him closely and naturally didn't miss his unusual behavior.

That's disgusting!

He turned to face Dongfang Mu, knelt down with a thud, and pleaded with a wounded expression, "Grandpa, ever since I can remember, that woman has never looked at me properly. I used to suspect that I wasn't her biological son, but perhaps my father's illegitimate child. Now I realize that she doesn't care about me just because I'm my father's son, and she likes Dongfang Qi because he's her lover's son. How can such a big thing be something that's just baseless? You won't let my father get a divorce, do you want him to keep wearing a green hat and be mocked as a cuckold by that lover?"

Is this a good thing for the Dongfang family? Doesn't it have any impact on my mind?
Grandpa, please, have mercy and let my dad get a divorce! Get that woman out of the Dongfang family, get out now!

He clenched his fists and said coldly, "If you don't agree, I might not do anything to that woman, but I can guarantee that Dongfang Qi will be a cripple for the rest of his life!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Before Dongfang Mu could speak, Dongfang Ya said indifferently from the side, "If you want to deal with him, it's your father, me. Why do you need to do it? Get up quickly. Your grandfather will agree. You don't need to beg like this."

Dongfang Shuo stood up and stood behind Dongfang Ya.

However, as he turned, he gave Dongfang Jin a cold glance. Dongfang Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away, but dared not utter another word about Dongfang Ya's renewed mention of divorce.

Dongfang Mu wanted to inquire about Dongfang Shuo's talismanic arts and formations as soon as possible and did not want to delay the matter. Therefore, even though he was unwilling, he still agreed to his fourth son's request and agreed to his divorce from Sha Yanxue.

Then, he looked at Dongfang Shuo eagerly and asked directly, "The maze you used to trap your sixth uncle in the Azure Sky Forest, was it really your design?"

"Did Sixth Uncle tell you that?"

Dongfang Shuo looked at Dongfang Du, whose expression was unnatural, with amusement, and shook his head to deny it, "The formation of the maze was given to me by the special training camp. I ran into Uncle Liu by chance, and I originally wanted him to give me some pointers, but I didn't expect..."

As he spoke, he turned to Dongfang Du and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, Uncle Liu. I thought you would be out soon. I didn't expect to keep you trapped inside for three days. It's all my fault. I apologize to you."
