Realms In The Firmament

Song Jue was sensitive. He noticed his people being strange. He loudly spoke, ”My sworn brother is just my sworn brother. He and I, we are brothers. It has nothing to do with the Song Clan. I don’t need you to treat me differently just because of my sworn brother. I don’t need it. I don’t care. I am just like this. You don’t need to look at me like this! I have never been interested in your business in the clan. It has nothing to do with me. It’s just rubbish to me.”

The elders were embarrassed. They were wordless.

Song Jue shouted out all that. It was disrespecting the elders. They felt embarrassed, however, there was nothing they could do. After all, they had truly failed Song Jue’s group in the past.

Song Jue occupied the higher moral position. He could be polite, and he had all the rights not to. There was nothing others could say about him!

Everybody saw that. Everybody knew that.

They all knew that grudges filled Song Jue’s chest.

Ye Xiao spoke in a low voice, ”Uncle Song, it is too easy to kill. They are your own kin after all. Maybe you should let what happened to stay in the past. Besides, Song Wuyang and his group were all cleaned out. I believe what happened to you would never happen again. Maybe you should let it go… At the very least, Song Clan needs your leadership. I believe your clan is going to rise sooner or later.”

What he said had announced Song Jue’s leadership. There was nothing others could change!

Song Jue was going to rule the clan.

He humphed and spoke with hatred, ”Because of Brother Ye, these assholes not only thought of their own safety, but also hit us when they knew we are down… Did they ever remember I am their own kin…”

Before he finished, Ye Xiao interrupted, ”Uncle Song, I won’t say different words. Just let it go. We should make sure that the Song Clan will never do the same thing. Isn’t it much better than complaining about the past?”

Song Jue heavily humphed. The flame of anger in his eyes were burning the elders. He then turned away and kept silent.

Ye Xiao sighed.

What his father did, no matter for what, affected two clans. One was the Ye Clan, his own clan, while the other was the Song Clan.

That was exactly why Ye Xiao wanted to help the Song Clan.

He did it for Song Jue!

Song Clan people meant nothing to Ye Xiao. He wouldn’t care if they were dead.

However, Ye Nantian owed Song Jue.

Song Jue didn’t care, because Ye Nantian was his brother!

However, Ye Xiao couldn’t just stand and watch it.

If not, he would have wiped the entire Song Clan out because of what Song Fei had done in the town, even though he favored Song Xuan.

He helped to make some arrangements in the Song Clan. Song Jue still didn’t show any kindness to the elders. The elders kept smiling in an awkward way. Song Jue led Ye Xiao to his own yard.

What was left to the others in Song Clan was only deep regret.

”I wouldn’t do that if I knew things would reach this point.” An elder was regretting, ”We have been standing aside when Song Wuyang and his people did those filthy things. What we wanted was our own safety… Now… Now, we eventually tasted the fruit that we planted. We don’t get to blame anyone else.”

”Oh.” Another elder sighed.

”This isn’t the end though. It isn’t too late. No matter what, the Song Clan is settled after all.” An elder said, ”Song Jue and his people may still have a grudge, but they are still in the clan with us.

”That means they still have feelings to the clan. We should cooperate with them, and support them with whatever we can in the future.

”To think deeper into it, what happened today may be an opportunity for our clan to rise again. Song Jue and Song Sheng, the brothers can take charge of the clan. I guess we will rise again soon.”

”That’s right. Maybe today will be a Memorial Day for the rise of the Song Clan!”

”True! We are old. We don’t have profound views and brave hearts anymore. It is time to let Song Jue and Song Sheng take the responsibility. Maybe we are going to have some tough days afterwards, but we must accept it. Everything should be for the sake of our clan. We can’t make a Song Clan on our own after all… We must do whatever benefits our clan…”

The elders, whose hair were grey, sighed and staggered away.

They used to look strong and stand straight up, yet they were stooped now.

However, they also felt like they had dropped down a heavy stone in their heart. At least Song Wuyang died and there would be no more crisis to the Song Clan in the short future.

What happened in the future was left to the future…

Maybe the elders would all be dead when Song Clan was facing another crisis…

They truly only considered the benefits of the clan. They were selfless. That was why the clan could be passed down from generation to generation.

That was also why there was a tragedy from generation to generation.

It was hard to distinguish right from wrong.

Who could judge what had lasted for thousands of years!

…

In Song Jue’s small yard.

Song Jue was holding his elder brother. ”Brother, you are recovered! Great! Great!”

After Song Sheng was fed with Ye Xiao’s supreme dan bead, with the help of Han Bingxue’s top-level Dao Origin Stage power, he was completely recovered after the time of a meal.

It was such a great news for Song Jue.

He had the supreme dan beads that were given to him by Ye Xiao all the time, but he didn’t dare to use them. He didn’t want to be targeted. However, there was nothing that could threaten him. Ye Xiao and Han Bingxue were there to help. It was not a problem to cure Song Sheng in a short time!

[Brother is well now. He is even better than before. He has improved.]

[Song Xuan is cured too. He is also boosted in cultivation. There will be a great future for him.]

What had been bothering Song Jue since he returned was now gone.

Song Jue became energetic.

After he knew that man who was commanded like a lackey was Han Bingxue, Song Jue felt confused. [Since when did Xiao Xiao acquire such a capability?]

He looked at Xuan Bing, who was staying aside quietly, as if he didn’t exist. He was more confused. [Who is this lady? Why does Han Bingxue, a super powerful cultivator, fear her? Why is she traveling with Ye Xiao?]

Song Jue apparently had a good impression of Xuan Bing. He walked to her and said, ”Well, I mistook you for someone else. I am sorry. May I have your name, lady…”

Xuan Bing blandly said, ”Xuan Bing.”

”Hmm. Xuan Bing, what a good name. Xuan like a goddess… with beautiful bones like ice… What!!!” He couldn’t stop praising her at the beginning, until he realized who she truly was. He exclaimed like a cat that was stepped on the tail.

He nearly jumped up to the ceiling.
