Chapter 111: The Past Without a Trace
Chapter 102 The Past of the Three No's (Part 1)
"what!"
They were chatting happily when they suddenly noticed Li Xianyu's piercing gaze. The masochistic girl shrank back and said aggrievedly.
Li Xianyu, anger rising in his heart, loudly refused: "I won't do it."
"Although You Mengyu is related to the Shen family by blood, they don't have a deep entanglement, otherwise I would have killed her long ago." The great-grandmother gestured for her great-grandson to calm down and explained to everyone, "Before he awakened, he was pushed off the roof by Shen Meng of the Shen family and died once."
Her reminder brought it to everyone's attention. You Mengyu said, "Last month, several branches of the Shen family suddenly flew to the United States to avoid trouble, causing quite a stir in the Chongqing bloodline world. Everyone thought something had happened. Later, we learned that they had angered you, Great-Grandmother. Yesterday, I received a call from my mother. On the night we encountered the Ancient God Cult, a small number of the Shen family's direct descendants flew to the United States overnight."
The great-grandmother sneered disdainfully: "I can't be bothered with them. I just made a pact with the major families that we can't break the rules. Once the salted fish grows up, I'll turn the Shen family upside down first."
If it weren't for Li Xianyu, given Grandma's temper, she would have already stormed into the Shen family.
The live stream two days ago caused a sensation in the bloodline world. That very night, the head of the Shen family and some key members fled to the United States for refuge. Whatever the purpose of the Peerless Battle Soul's visit to Chongqing, they should simply avoid her.
After receiving the promise from their great-grandmother, the various families felt much more at ease and prepared to conserve their energy in preparation for the opening of the Pantheon.
At this point, the Shen family naturally did not want to waste their combat power on the Peerless Battle Soul.
Li Xianyu finally learned about You Mengyu's background: You Mengyu's mother was the younger sister of the current head of the Shen family. The previous head of the Shen family had many wives, not counting the kept women, but he had more than a dozen wives in name only.
More than half of them were cousins, and those who were beautiful and outstanding were all taken into the harem by the former head of the Shen family.
In the aristocratic families of bloodline, this is basic practice, a common and normal phenomenon. The power of bloodline comes from blood, and it is the duty and responsibility of every family head to produce offspring of pure blood.
Therefore, intermarriage within the clan and marriage alliances between prominent families became common phenomena in the bloodline community.
It was very normal for cousins to marry in the previous generation. In recent years, the overall quality of society has improved, and there are very few cousin marriages in the bloodline community. However, intermarriage within the same clan is still a common practice.
You Mengyu's mother was originally going to marry a distant cousin, but she fell in love with a young man from an ordinary background. Yu's mother was a strong-willed and assertive woman. She gritted her teeth and made up her mind to make it a fait accompli, and went to meet Yu's parents while pregnant with her baby.
With mediocre talent and ordinary cultivation, Yu's mother, who was not outstanding among her many siblings, was naturally abandoned. The Shen family did not do anything dramatic like breaking up a couple, but simply marginalized Yu's mother to the edge of the family.
From childhood to adulthood, You Mengyu had only visited the Shen family mansion a few times, and was never treated well.
Fortunately, Yu's father is a promising talent. After twenty years of hard work, he has achieved success in his career and has considerable business and influence in Chongqing.
They weren't particularly close to the Shen family, always maintaining a distant but somewhat aloof relationship.
Someone like You Mengyu, once she's officially hired and joins the company, has the potential to wield significant power. For direct descendants of bloodline families, being a prospective member is already the ceiling. Baoze wouldn't hire someone like that.
Li Xianyu asked curiously, "Do you know Shen Rou?"
"Shen Rou..." You Mengyu shook her head: "Never heard of her. I'm not close to the Shen family, but this name sounds familiar."
Then, as if she had just remembered something, You Mengyu slapped her forehead: "Ah, I remember now, my mom's great-aunt. I often heard my mom talk about her when I was little, but she only called her 'great-aunt,' not by her name. She said she..."
Suddenly realizing what was happening, she cautiously glanced at the Li family's grandfather and grandson.
Li Xianyu: "Your mother's great-aunt is really beautiful."
"She's got a really hot body," Li Xianyu thought to himself.
Shen Rou is a beauty that is one in a hundred, with a curvaceous figure and a delicate face.
You Mengyu was taken aback: "How did you know?"
How could I not know? I watched as she and my ancestor sat on the lotus of Guanyin all night.
Li Xianyu had no answer.
You Mengyu sighed, "Back then, the major families really went too far. They imprisoned a dignified seven-foot-tall man and used him as a breeding machine, subjecting him to humiliation by different women every day. What kind of torture and ordeal was that... I feel deeply ashamed every time I think about it. They really knew how to play games."
But what's with that longing look in your eyes and that excited tone?
Li Xianyu realized that the masochistic girl's problem had flared up again.
Liu Kongchao threw back the covers, poked his head out, and asked, "A breeding machine? I think I heard something incredible."
"Shut up!" Great-Grandma snorted.
In her view, it was a shameful thing that the Li family had been imprisoned for many years and treated as human rights-less breeding machines.
But the great-grandson, who grew up in the new China and had no sense of clan, was very talkative. He briefly recounted the life experiences of his ancestors, while You Mengyu added in, telling him family secrets she had heard from her mother.
Xia Xiaoxue and Liu Kongchao listened with great interest, the latter even breaking down in a fit of jealousy, exclaiming, "How utterly depraved! Li Xianyu, were your ancestors chosen by heaven?"
"I think so too, but my great-grandmother seems to be deeply ashamed of it." After saying that, he was tapped on the head by his great-grandmother, but he didn't mind and said enviously, "I wonder if the major families still have any plans to hire members of the Li family as breeding machines."
"Um?"
Two voices of doubt arose simultaneously, from Great-Grandma and Thunder War Maiden.
Grandma glanced at Thunder War Maiden, the long-legged beauty blushed slightly, and hurriedly turned her head away.
Li Xianyu didn't notice this detail; otherwise, the experienced driver would definitely have noticed something.
The great-grandmother's face was ashen: "Do you know his final fate? A few years later, he died from a serious illness caused by his long-term lack of self-control and depletion of his vital energy."
Xia Xiaoxue sighed, "So you see, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by plowing."
Liu Kongchao, a virgin who had never owned a place, suddenly asked, "What if there's no land?"
Xia Xiaoxue pondered for a moment: "Then you'll have to rely on your skills."
The great-grandmother said, "Aren't you wondering why I didn't save him, and why he, who is clearly a successor of the Ultimate Path, is imprisoned in a dark and sunless place, forced to have sex with women every day?"
Li Xianyu's heart skipped a beat: "Could there be another hidden story behind this?"
"Before he was imprisoned by the various families, he had already married and had children. As long as the Li family line continues, I can tolerate him in every way. But the main reason is that I am very disappointed in him." The great-grandmother sighed softly, as if she was thinking of her poor great-grandson. Her tone was helpless and somewhat disappointed: "He is very intelligent, actually very talented, but he loves to study and yearns to change his fate and save the country with knowledge. He spends his days criticizing current affairs and writing articles with a group of intellectuals from the Republic of China. He only pays lip service to my urging and refuses to cultivate himself properly."
"Back then, the situation was turbulent, with internal and external troubles. I told him, if you really want to save the fate of the country, then cultivate diligently. I will accompany him to the battlefield and tear apart the Japanese devils with my bare hands."
"But he said that the new era should learn new strengths. Others don't think so. The situation is chaotic, and in order to strengthen themselves and stand firm in the chaos, the major families have set their sights on me."
"That's why he became a prisoner." Grandma shook her head. "Whether it's the world of bloodline or ordinary society, isn't it all about the survival of the fittest and the powerful being respected? He had the determination to serve his country, but he lacked the awareness of the weak. In the end, he was just talking the talk but not walking the walk."
She gently stroked her great-grandson's head. "Do you understand?"
Li Xianyu nodded vigorously: "I understand. Great-grandmother is telling me that studying is useless."
The great-grandmother brought down a chop with her hand, clearly intending to behead her great-grandson.
Afterwards, Li Xianyu suggested going to see Sanwu. Since everyone was recovering from their injuries and had nothing to do, they went with him.
The person without proper identification has been placed in a separate ward and remains unconscious.
"We injected her with your blood and treated her with the best internal and surgical doctors. Her injuries have almost healed. The reason she hasn't woken up yet is probably because of her fear of reality." Thunder War Maiden glanced at Salty Fish. "She probably thinks you're dead."
She had already realized that Sanwu had a friendship with Li Xianyu that far exceeded that of ordinary people. Perhaps in the heart of the girl in bed, Li Xianyu was already her friend, which was incredible.
Sanwu could never fit in with the company's employees, like a ghost drifting outside of everyone else. But she and Li Xianyu had only known each other for a short time and had actually developed a friendship, even though that friendship might not have been deep.
Grandma reached out and touched Sanwu's forehead with her fingertips, and said softly, "I can sense that she is afraid, sad, angry, and on the verge of a breakdown... She must be dreaming."
Li Xianyu also touched Sanwu's forehead: "Why can't I feel it?"
Thunder War Maiden said with admiration, "Is it a spiritual resonance? Senior's cultivation is unfathomable, truly admirable."
"Little girl, you're quite the talker. How about becoming my granddaughter...?" She glanced at Li Xianyu, "No rush, forget it."
"Since what happened two years ago, Sanwu has become increasingly withdrawn and unsociable. She has realized this and is desperately trying to change, but the best she can do is stay the same," said Thunder War Maiden.
"What happened back then?" Li Xianyu recalled what the God of War had said and asked in a deep voice, "What happened back then?"
