Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 113: Uncle Chu Yang

He had a distressed look on his face and said, “Moreover, Miss has always been close to the second young master and hasn’t been very... harmonious with the eldest young master; yet the second young master and the eldest young master are fiercely competing against each other. The eldest young master has a high popularity within the family, and most of the elders support him. If nothing unexpected happens, the position of the family heir will surely go to the eldest young master; if Miss ends up... the consequences are unimaginable!”

Chu Yang nodded deeply, a cold smile curling at the corners of his mouth. In her previous life, Mo Qingwu did not remain in her family, which seems to be because of this matter, and something unexpected must have happened...

In such a large family, where is there any real familial affection? Mo Qingwu had always been close to her second brother, and her three yin meridians had unknowingly helped her second brother's standing; how could that eldest young master not harbor resentment?

Now that she is in trouble, isn’t the current eldest young master just getting what he wanted? Why would he help this sister? And once he gains power, how could Mo Qingwu have any good days ahead?

“Is the third young master of the Mo Family named Mo Tianxing?” Chu Yang raised an eyebrow, feeling a bit familiar with that name, and couldn’t help but ask, “Then what is the eldest young master called in the family now?”

As he asked this question, Chu Yang felt his heart unexpectedly thump twice.

“Mo Tianyun,” replied the man in black, releasing a breath. “He is the second son of the patriarch; currently the eldest son and first in line for succession.”

“What about the second young master?” Chu Yang asked urgently.

“The second young master is Mo Tianji. In the Mo Family, the eldest young master is brave and skilled in battle, while the second young master is wise and resourceful… this is a widely recognized fact; didn’t you know?” The man in black looked at Chu Yang with a hint of confusion, not understanding his reaction. Furthermore, since you know Mo Qingwu, how could you not know about Mo Tianyun and Mo Tianji?

“Mo Tianji? Mo Tianji!” Chu Yang trembled all over, muttering the name again, “Mo Tianji…”

His best friend in his previous life; the young patriarch of the Mo Family had set a deadly ambush for him three days ago at a place he had to pass, leading to his own demise. How could Mo Tianji be Mo Qingwu's brother?

He couldn’t help but scoff, “To be so easily schemed against and fall into a trap, that can still be considered wise and resourceful?”

“Ahem... the temptation of the monarch-level expert's ruins…”

“Little brother, what’s your name?” The man in black suddenly slapped his forehead and said, “I’m really sorry, I’m Mo Chengyu.”

“My name is Chu Yang,” Chu Yang said, somewhat distracted, still immersed in the shock brought by the name ‘Mo Tianji.’

Chu Yang had never understood why Mo Tianji wanted to harm him! In his previous life, the two had talked over drinks countless times, shared their hearts countless times, and had countless late-night conversations.

Mo Tianji had countless opportunities to kill him. Yet before that, he had never revealed even a hint of malice. In fact, Chu Yang could feel that Mo Tianji genuinely considered him a friend and sincerely appreciated him.

During the multiple crises he faced in the past three days, it was always Mo Tianji who helped him resolve them.

Only because of this, did Chu Yang not understand why Mo Tianji wanted to kill him! Today, he finally understood the truth: it was for his sister, Mo Qingwu!

Revenge!

He remembered the last time they drank together, getting completely drunk, lamenting the unpredictability of life, both expressing their deep feelings; then somehow, they talked about the pain in their hearts, which was the most regrettable thing.

Chu Yang's thoughts flashed, and a scene from the past suddenly surged to his mind.
