"You ungrateful bastard!" A young girl of 20 years shouted while dashing forward with a kick, her voice alone threatening to drive the dragons away from their nest.
The kick perfectly connected with Fad Xu's chest, the impact lifting him in the air as his body was send crushing against the cold stone wall.
Determined, Fad Xu quickly got back to his feet to clarify the situation, but he suddenly collapsed to his knee with a sharp pain in his chest as he felt his already broken dantain shuttering, threatening his life as he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
But it was more than just his dantain breaking, it felt like something else was taking place deep within him, more like there was an override of his already broken dantain.
But Fad Xu completely forgot about the pain as he used his knee to crawl towards his mother, pleading with tears trickling down his rough cheeks.
"Mama, I swear it wasn't me! You can ask the maidens. I was sleeping in my room the whole of today and I couldn't dare to come out because of my condition." He desperately cried out to his mother as he tightly hugged her feet.
"Lier!" A young boy of sixteen years, just a year younger to Fad Xu shouted from the side. "Brother, we thought sending you to prison would teach you a lesson, but we can certainly tell that you have never changed!" He spoke, cold, his words freezing Fad Xu's soul as he remembered all the suffering he endured in the prison for five years.
He was just twelve, weak, unable to protect himself, and instead of a juvenile, Fad Xu was actually send to the adult prison for a crime he didn't even commit.
"She is your mother." Feng Xu continued speaking while pointing at Lin Xu, Fad Xu's mother. "How could you dare to peep at her while she takes bath?" He spoke, his voice echoing in the sect's throne hall.
"Feng Xu!" Fad Xu gritted his teeth. " I'm warning you! Stop accusing me of things I can't even dream of doing!" He rioted back.
Smack!
"Quiet!" Lin Xu shouted while gifting Fad Xu a thunderous slap that send him kissing the floor. "Who do you think you are to talk to your brother like that?" She screamed, he voice vibrating through the hall walls. "You are worse, Fad! You are rotten and I regrete bringing you to this world!" Lin Xu spoke.
It isn't like Feng Xu is Fad Xu's blood brother, Feng Xu is an adopted child to the house of Xu, a family that leads a a third top strongest sect in the entire empire.
Unfortunately for Fad Xu, he was born in the wrong house, the house of Xu, a house that values strength above everything is, glory over blood.
Fad Xu, though, was born with a broken dantain, making him unable to cultivate.
He was weak, fragile like a glass, his body organs threatening to stop functioning at any moment, but his family never cared about this.
His own sister, Fei Xu, started addressing him as that, and not him, his mother couldn't even grant him a glance, and the situation was even far worse when it came to his father, Yeng Xu, the lion of the house.
To them, Fad Xu was just but a shadow, non-existing, a flaw carved into their perfect name.
They even adopted a child, Feng Xu, not to expand the family, but to replace their incompetent child, Fad Xu.
Feng Xu is the pride of the Xu family, a talented young master groomed to take over the sect when the time is right.
He's strong, powerful, and at the rate at which his body was absorbing qi, the rumours states that he might awaken a wyrmshard cultivation root rank, if not a nullborn, during the awakening ceremony.
Feng Xu is treated like a true child of the Xu family. The heir, and this certainly made pride to take root in him.
He had literally turned Fad Xu's life into a living hell, creating countless frames to Fad Xu that would get him exiled from the family.
To Feng Xu, Fad Xu was a competition that needed to crush at any cost.
It was just five years ago when Feng Xu critically injured Que Xu, Fad Xu's favorite cousin and the only person who treated Fad Xu as a family, and since Feng Xu had the ears of his adopted parents, it wasn't that difficult to frame Fad Xu.
Unfortunately, Que Xu is in a coma, to the date, and since she was the only one that could somehow tell the truth of the event, Feng Xu persuaded his adopted parents to send Fad Xu to prison for five years full years.
He had only returned a month a go to find the situation home had never changed at all.
They never cared about his condition. They never cared that Fad Xu was fragile and needed at most care. To them, whatever Feng Xu speaks is the truth and the truth only.
He had completely got them wrapped around his little finger.
Even now, Fad Xu felt his dantain shuttering, the energy seeping out of him at a rapid speed, as well as his life, as he had received multiple internal injuries.
He twisted his head to the side, his eyes landing to his father sitting at a sect throne. Quickly and desperately, Fad Xu crawled towards him with tears trickling down his eyes.
"Dad, you believe me, right? She is my mother. I can never do such a thing that Feng Xu is accusing me of. You believe me, right!" He desperately sobbed between his father's feet.
"Fad Xu, you are a disgrace to this family!" Yeng Xu shouted while raising his feet and thrusted it forward.
Then...
Boom!
He didn't have to raise his feet higher and yet, Fad Xu's body was send crushing against a wall, shuttering his internals as he roled on the ground while coughing out a mouthful of blood.
His dantain was completely destroyed, his internals had been badly crushed, life seeping out of him at a very rapid speed.
Fad Xu was dying, but none of them even cared to notice this as they were all blinded by their hatred towards Fad Xu.
He rolled his eyes over towards his father, mother, then sister while wondering what he did to offend them this much. He never asked anything from them, not even food as he hustled to provide for himself.
He was treated like a slave, sleeping among the servants of the house as his family couldn't even bare the thought of them sleeping with Fad Xu under the same roof.
"I regret it! I regret it now!" Fad Xu weakly muttered to himself. " Ms, Zai, maybe if I had accepted your offer of adopting me, it wouldn't have ended like this." He bitterly muttered to himself.
His vision was starting to fade, he was already dizzy and exhausted, his body begging him to finally let it rest.
He also knew there wasn't a point of continuing to fight anymore, and thus, he tilted his head to the side with a smirk on his face as his eyelids starting to pull shut.
'If only I could have a second chance...' he thought but, unable to complete his sentence, his heartbeat went mute
Death.
Darkness.
Silence.
Then...
As if he had just blinked.
