Chapter 4192 The Old Beggar’s Past
"Do you need help..."
Ye Feng's words kept echoing in his mind. The old beggar looked at Ye Feng, his eyes gradually misty, and his expression became fierce and ferocious.
"Yes!"
The old beggar clenched his fists and stared at Ye Feng, "If you can help me get revenge, I will tell you all the secrets on my body!"
"Haha."
Looking at the old beggar's appearance, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile. He picked up the thin man with one hand and walked forward while speaking calmly.
"Secrets are not important. Old man, why don't you tell me what grudge you have with the Yang family first."
The old beggar had made up his mind. His eyes were no longer cloudy, but exceptionally bright. He led Goudan and followed Ye Feng closely.
"This market is called Xilinfang because its former owner was surnamed Xi."
The old beggar said with a heavy tone: "And I am the former young master of the Xi family..."
As the old beggar described, Ye Feng heard a distant past, which was about the past of the three major families in Xilinfang.
At that time, the owner of Xilinfang was the Xi family, which was also the most powerful of the three major families. There were strong men in the Yangqi realm sitting in the family, which was more powerful than the other two major families combined.
The head of the Xi family had a son in his old age, and he was extremely doting on this only child. It can be said that if the only son wanted the moon in the sky, he would find a way to pick it.
But unfortunately, this hard-won only son was a martial arts waste who could not practice. This caused the head of the Xi family to consider the future of the family while feeling distressed.
In the end, the head of the Xi family decided to let his son get married as soon as possible and give birth to offspring while his power was still there. As long as his grandchildren could practice, the position of the head of the family could be passed on, and the Xi family could continue to be glorious.
The head of the Xi family looked for a good match for his only son, and finally took a fancy to the third lady of the Yue family, which was also one of the three major families at that time.
The third lady of the Yue family had a sweet appearance and a gentle personality. The most important thing was that she had a good talent in martial arts. She had reached the peak of bone strengthening at the age of 30.
Such a woman could marry the only son of the Xi family's patriarch, and it was more likely that she would give birth to a descendant with a talent for cultivation, and perhaps an extraordinary talent.
The only son followed the order of the patriarch's father and went to the Yue family to propose marriage, and the Yue family readily agreed. The third daughter of the Yue family also had a good impression of the only son, and the two fell in love and got married later.
But on the day of the wedding, something unexpected happened. The third daughter of the Yue family put a deadly poison in the food. Except for the groom who was too busy to eat, all the other people in the Xi family were poisoned and fell to the ground in a listless state.
The Xi family's patriarch was very wise. He knew something was wrong the moment he was poisoned, and immediately contacted the stationed forces and relatives and friends outside. However, before the support arrived, the Yue family and the Yang family, which was one of the three major forces at the time, joined forces to attack the Xi family.
Overnight, the 327 people of the Xi family were almost wiped out, leaving only the only son and several old servants to escape.
That day, the only son finally understood that the third lady of the Yue family had been hooking up with the eldest son of the Yang family for a long time, and that agreeing to his pursuit was just a plan of the two of them, just to destroy the Xi family and seize the position.
For a long time afterwards, the only son hid from place to place, avoiding repeated pursuits and plots, and at the same time tried to find his second uncle who held an important position in the court. He was his father's younger brother and the biggest backer of the Xi family.
But before the only son found his second uncle, he received news from the court that his second uncle hanged himself at home because he was afraid of committing a crime.
As for what kind of crime he was afraid of, the only son didn't know, and didn't want to know. He only knew that after his second uncle died, an official named Yang took his second uncle's former position, the Shaoqing of Zhenshuang State.
At that moment, the only son was completely disheartened. He knew that his hope of turning the tables was gone, and revenge became an untouchable luxury. He fainted in despair on the street.
When he woke up, several old servants who followed him also disappeared. The only son was abandoned by everyone and wandered around the streets in a mess, like a lonely ghost, living in the world in a daze.
During this period, the third lady of the Yue family and the eldest son of the Yang family found him, looked at his desperate and numb appearance, gave him merciless ridicule, and then left without caring.
They looked down on the only son and believed that he had no strength to take revenge, so they kept his life and deliberately watched him live in the world in a daze, letting the years destroy and torture him.
For many years afterwards, the only son lived in a daze until one day he picked up an abandoned child. He rescued the child and raised the child by begging for food every day. His life seemed to have a ray of light and hope.
That is, three years after picking up the child, the Yue family was destroyed. The former third lady of the Yue family used the same poisoning method to cooperate with the head of the Yang family, that is, the former eldest son of the Yang family.
Since then, the Yang family has become the master of Xilinfang, and no one can shake the status of the Yang family. The Yang family has gradually become more rampant and domineering.
For these, the only son does not care at all. He puts the hatred of the past behind him. There is only one idea in his head, to raise the child he picked up, that's all.
After listening to this past, Ye Feng exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked at the old beggar with a complicated look.
The old beggar was the only son of the Xi family in the past. He had a blood feud with the Yang family, but he could not take revenge because he had no ability.
How much pain is hidden in this, Ye Feng can't figure it out, he just thinks of himself.
I was born with a useless body and could not practice. If it weren't for Master Tong, his final result might not be as miserable as the old beggar, but it would definitely not be as good as now. He has his own power and is happy to take revenge. This is the most refreshing thing!
"Old man, I will help you get revenge. Those who destroyed your Xi family in the past are destined to pay the price today."
Ye Feng said calmly. His life was saved by the old beggar and Goudan. He must repay the favor. Avenging the old beggar is to repay the favor.
"Xiao Feng... are you really capable?"
The old beggar was a little nervous. He had been in a daze for too long, and his fear of the Yang family had accumulated for too long. He was a little worried that Ye Feng was not the opponent of the Yang family.
"The Yang family has four guardians, all of whom are in the Yang Qi realm. The beast of the Yang family's eldest son is at the peak of Yang Qi. Don't show off..."
The old beggar said hesitantly.
"Old man, the Qi-nourishing Realm is not worth mentioning in my eyes."
Ye Feng smiled indifferently and said calmly: "You should think about how to retaliate against them."
"Revenge against them..."
The old beggar's palm trembled. He had thought about the word revenge countless times, but it was impossible to achieve it. Will today be the day to fulfill his wish?
While talking, Ye Feng and his companions had walked for a long time. The thin man who was held in Ye Feng's hand like a dead dog suddenly pointed to a gate in front.
