You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 154 : Chapter 154

Chapter 154: I Will Ask You One Last Ti—Are You Willing to Return to the Cheng Family or Not?

Cheng Cangshan widened his eyes as he looked at the undisguised hostility in Cheng Yu’s gaze.

For a mont, he did not know what to do.

If it had been so ordinary junior or weakling daring to disrespect him like this, that would have been one thing.

He would have crushed and killed them as he pleased. The dignity of a Grandmaster could not be insulted!

But now, Cheng Yu was a descendant who shared his bloodline, and his talent was exceptionally outstanding. He could not be treated as casually as an outsider.

Cheng Cangshan could only frown and look toward Cheng Zhenjiang, who was filled with panic and worry.

“Speak! What exactly is going on!”

Regret and fear flashed through Cheng Zhenjiang’s eyes, but faced with his grandfather’s stern expression, he did not dare hide anything any longer.

Using voice transmission, he laid everything out in full—how Cheng Yu had drifted outside the family for more than ten years before being found again, how he had severed ties and left the River-Severing Sect, and how he had later revealed a talent so monstrous it defied the ages.

The deeper Cheng Cangshan listened, the tighter his brows drew together.

By the end, even his weathered old face—normally unmoved by change—showed unmistakable shock and anger.

He had crushed the Jiangnan Jianghu forces beneath him and, while only at the Sixth Rank, had easily overwheld Seventh-Rank martial artists.

Using a secret art, he had even defeated Xiao Teng after Xiao Teng transford into a Vital Blood Flood Dragon.

Terrifying!

Far too terrifying!

The talent Cheng Yu had displayed was unquestionably even greater than Cheng Cangshan had imagined!

Placed among the entire younger generation of Great Qian, rely comparing him to the famous young prodigies of the age was no longer enough to reflect how terrifying Cheng Yu truly was.

The word genius was, more often than not, praise based on future promise.

But Cheng Yu’s strength had already been fully made manifest.

He could kill Upper Three Ranks martial artists.

With that level of strength, he already had a place in Great Qian’s Jianghu. Founding a sect or establishing a school of his own would be no difficult matter at all. He had far surpassed everyone of his own age.

That strength alone was enough to make the Cheng Family value him.

More importantly—

Cheng Yu had drifted outside the family since childhood. Every bit of his strength had been won through his own struggles and insights. It had nothing to do with the River-Severing Sect or the Cheng Family’s cultivation.

Even with the support of his bloodline, such talent was already unique in the Cheng Family’s history.

And if he were then given the full support and investnt of a top great clan—

Given ti, who knew what heights he would reach?

He might well have been the opportunity for the Cheng Family to rise above the many ancient thousand-year clans!

But when Cheng Cangshan heard that Cheng Zhenjiang had personally shoved away that very opportunity and driven Cheng Yu into severing ties, his expression changed completely.

What an unfilial descendant!

His gaze sank deeply onto Cheng Yu.

A bloodline talent like this—even if they had to deceive him or seize him by force—they had to keep him in the Cheng Family and make him contribute to it!

In the next mont, both because his rage was hard to suppress and because he wanted to display his power, a terrifying aura exploded from his body. The giant turtle behind him raised its head and let out a sudden thunderous roar, then lifted one of its heaven-supporting pillar-like legs and smashed it viciously into the ground.

In an instant, the heavens shook, the earth trembled, and mountains seed to split apart as that horrifying pressure swept outward.

The might of a Grandmaster was terrifying indeed!

Cheng Zhenjiang stood closest to the giant turtle. When that blow ca down, he failed to defend in ti. His Internal Energy churned violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

His grandfather was punishing him for being blind enough to let Cheng Yu go!

In the next instant—

Chang Ningxiao gave a cold snort. She raised two fingers like a sword and slashed outward. Sword Qi crisscrossed through the air, blocking the force that had burst outward.

Sword shadows poured across the sky, forcing the enraged giant turtle back several steps and leaving deep marks across its shell.

The Internal Energy in the giant turtle’s body bled away frantically, and it could only quiet down.

“Old turtle Cheng, if you want to fight, then stop putting on this hypocritical act here! I just happen to need your old turtle shell to sharpen my sword!”

The enormous azure longsword that spanned heaven and earth trembled slightly at that mont, and fierce, terrifying Sword Qi swept across the air.

She was a Grandmaster too!

Cheng Cangshan could forget about using brute force to threaten others!

“Sword Chief Chang, please forgive ! Upon hearing that a mber of my bloodline had been left adrift outside the family, I truly lost my composure for a mont!”

Cheng Cangshan suppressed his anger and cupped his hands in apology, though deep wariness flashed in his eyes.

The Sword Chief of the Sword Bearers had grown stronger again!

With just a casual release of her Sword Intent, she had already almost completely suppressed much of the power in this manifested body of his.

If things truly turned into an irreconcilable conflict here, he would definitely suffer badly!

Cheng Cangshan could only turn once more to Cheng Yu. The hatred in the other man’s eyes was unmistakably real.

A wave of regret rose in his heart at once. In Cheng Yu’s eyes, Cheng Zhenjiang did not count as a father at all, so naturally the Cheng Family had no connection to him either.

He could only force down his anger and put on a gentle expression.

“Child, you have suffered greatly, and you have co to hate both your father and the Cheng Family. But that only ans you have driven yourself into a dead end. Only if you untie the knot in your heart and return to the family can we make it up to you.”

Unlike Cheng Zhenjiang, who remained stubborn to the end and always stood upon so lofty pedestal of chivalry and grand principles while condemning others, Cheng Cangshan, having lived far longer, cared far less about such things.

To him, what was truly good was whatever benefited the Cheng Family.

He admitted Cheng Zhenjiang’s fault on his behalf and hoped Cheng Yu would give them a chance to make ands.

“The entire future of the Cheng Family will revolve around you! So long as you are willing to let go of the past and accept your kin and bloodline, the broadest path under heaven will lie before you!”

Cheng Cangshan had made his promise.

If Cheng Yu was willing to let bygones be bygones, the Cheng Family could give him everything!

At the side, Cheng Zhenjiang’s expression changed drastically when he heard this.

How could his grandfather make such a promise? To make Cheng Yu the future core of the Cheng Family?

One had to know—

The Cheng Family’s current core was none other than Cheng Zhenjiang himself, who was on the verge of stepping into the Grandmaster realm.

If he had to bow his head like this and let that rebellious son, burning with hatred, return to the Cheng Family and replace him, then how could Cheng Zhenjiang ever hold his head high again?

His grandfather, for the sake of the Cheng Family’s greater plan, might not care what kind of temperant Cheng Yu had.

But Cheng Zhenjiang could not afford to ignore it.

Cheng Yu would absolutely take revenge!

“Grandfather!”

Cheng Cangshan knew Cheng Zhenjiang would object, and he barked angrily, “Shut up! If not for you, would it ever have co to this!”

After scolding his grandson, he imdiately turned back toward Cheng Yu with the utmost benevolence.

Well? The wholehearted support of a thousand-year clan should be enough to move you now, should it not?

But in the very next mont—

Cheng Yu raised his brows, and a deeply mocking smile appeared on his face.

Give him resources and nurture him?

Could that compare to even a fraction of what he gained as a Jinyiwei?

Not to ntion that he had no interest whatsoever in rotting together with such hypocritical people.

He spoke.

“Make it up to ?”

“Yes!” Cheng Cangshan nodded at once. “The Cheng Family’s inheritance will forever remain open to the people of the Cheng Family!”

“Since it is compensation, then that ans you have to listen to , right?”

Cheng Cangshan answered firmly, “Whatever you want, it can be given to you!”

In any case, it would rely be moving resources around within the Cheng Family. Giving them to the one with greater talent was no problem at all!

“In that case…”

To his surprise, Cheng Yu shook his head and revealed a strange smile.

“How about you give the Cheng Family Secret Realm as compensation?”

The Cheng Family Secret Realm?

A considerable portion of the Cheng Family’s foundations lay within it. Why would he ask for that?

Cheng Cangshan’s expression turned slightly odd. “If you beco the future pillar of the Cheng Family, then the Secret Realm will naturally be yours!”

Cheng Yu raised a brow. “So that ans you will not give it to , then! After hemming and hawing for so long, you may as well be like Cheng Zhenjiang and simply refuse to admit anything!”

The mont he heard that—

Cheng Cangshan’s expression changed drastically. He had finally understood what Cheng Yu truly ant.

He was genuinely demanding compensation!

And if they could not give it, he would curse them for it!

As for returning to the Cheng Family, he had never even considered it from the start!

Cheng Cangshan was a dignified Grandmaster, and by blood he truly was Cheng Yu’s own great-grandfather. After running into a wall like this several tis, his personal emotions finally began to turn into anger.

A re descendant dared to act so arrogantly before him?

Just because he had tried the soft approach did not an he was incapable of using force!

The benevolent look vanished from his face as he coldly asked once more, “I will ask you one last ti. Are you willing to return to the Cheng Family or not?”
