Divine Brilliance

Chapter 599: Pitiful

Only the future days wouldn’t be that easy to pass too. At the start, she didn’t know about matters, she quite blurred and didn’t notice much. Later on, she finally realized that she was different from other kids. Only then, did she understand her situation.

Her Father was ostracised by the Family, her Mother was unhappy and in the end, died from depression. She was also left alone by her race.

If it wasn’t for his majesty picking her fortunately and bringing her into the military, her father and her would have long been kicked out of the Family.

“The talent of your Third Brother is 100 times that of yours but he was unable to show it. He drowned his sorrows in wine. Do you know how happy he was when he got the news? He broke the 300 jugs of wine in the storage. He had originally given up, but now he has been given a chance to live again. Even I felt happy for him!”

Kong Xu smiled, filled with a chilling coolness that reached one’s heart.

“When we found out that the Gantian Monster king chose you to be his concubine, the entire race cheered out, they were all happy for you. Oh right! I forgot to mention that your Father is already old, that position as supervisor of the directorate of astronomy and calendar is not suitable for him. The race uncle has personally come out to ask him to retire, to take care of our ancestral hour. What an honorable retirement…”

Kong Yao’s fingernails sunk deeply into her own flesh. However, in the end, she calmed down.

She understood the meaning of Kong Xu’s words. He was a hostage!

If she was willing to peacefully leave, then it was okay and her father would be fine. If she was unwilling, then the Kong Family would naturally have methods to use on her Father.

She couldn’t blame the Kong Family for being despicable. If it was her, she would also do the same. Her methods would also be more extreme!

“Then who are you all interested in? Gengzhi from the Gang Family or that Yangming from the Yang Family?”

Looking at the startled expression on his face, her heart moved, “That’s right. The person you all have high hopes for is definitely Yangming! Only this person, isn’t as good as Shiyue!”

“Bullshit! Yang Family has been ministers for many generations, out of ten, they had seven ministers, leading half a province. In terms of Family strength, how could Shiyue compare to this prince Yangming?”

Kong Xu decided to admit it, his tone was still filled with disdain as he shook his head, “You don’t practice the race secret technique. Even if I told you about the fate changing path you won’t understand. In the future, just bother about being your concubine in Donglin.”

Kong Yao broke out into a laugh. Although she didn’t cultivate destiny divination techniques, she had a life special ability which was being able to view one’s fate.

From young to old she had never told anyone about it. Only because she knew that it wasn’t a blessing but a curse to her, a huge curse…

She not only knew this Yangming but had met him before. Out of all the hidden dragons, he was at most, on the same level as Shiyue.

With his Family having seven prime ministers in ten generations, he could only be on the same level as Shiyue.

“I was wondering why senior brother was so free to see me. So you came along with prince Yangming. So it has something to do with the person above?”

“You know?”

This time Kongxu was slightly surprised, frowning and looking weirdly at Kong Yao.

Today, he felt that his Sister was surprisingly intelligent.

Kong Yao slightly nodded her head and said confidently, “Isn’t it just the Eight Tail Xue Family? These few days they have been too obvious and open.”

Someone plotting against her Husband, how would she not know? Before this, she had some anticipation, wanting to see the person who caused her to fall to such a stage, what outcome would he end up in?

However, a few days ago, for some reason, the situation changed and made her really disappointed.

“That’s right! The fox race bloodline still isn’t strong. With the situation settled, they reveal their fox tails. How arrogant…”

After Kong Xu was startled for a moment, he shook his head, his tone was still disapproving of the Xue Family. He explained, “Before the Xue Family entered the Cloud World they went to see the Liao King, they wanted to form an alliance using his relationship to contact the Tailing Sect. If it succeeded, they could gain the Liao King’s help in Donglin and Gantian Mountain. Originally, his highness wanted to send the prince over to help the Xue Family. Who knew that the Xue Family might really succeed? How pitiful my Sister, just marrying and you face such a matter!”

He said that he was pitiful but his tone and expression didn’t show any pity at all.

Kong Yao also shook her head, she didn’t think there was anything worth pouting over.

If there was really someone who could deal with Zong Shou and let her escape from his clutches, she would be delighted.

Unfortunately…

Looking outside, the spiritual eye at the center of her brows opened a little and she was filled with disappointment. This fate was getting darker, really weak, revealing a black energy. It was obviously a sign of weakening and death…

However they knew nothing, even her Brother was gloating and delighted. He probably thought after they return they could obtain rewards from the Liao King.

No matter what, the Xue Family had no chance of winning at all.

“I think it is best if Brother leaves Gantian Mountain, the earlier the better!”

Kong Xu’s brows rose, then Kong Yao sighed, “That Monster king isn’t someone you can easily handle. Be careful of succeeding, you could get injured instead!”

When he heard that, Kongxu felt really impatient, speaking out of anger and not bothering with it.

“Sister is joking, in my eyes, I see no way that Zong Shou can turn the tables. Even if you are angry, you don’t have to do this. This matter has nothing to do with you, you just have to be at ease and do nothing!”

Kong Yao sighed once more, it was said that every time a woman sighed, it would amount to her being older by a day.

Then, today, she had already used up dozens of days of her life.

However, it was true that this matter didn’t have much to do with her. From now on she would most probably be hidden and treated as a toy by that fellow. Her chest was really filled with unwillingness…

As for what Kongxu said next, Kong Yao couldn’t bring herself to listen anymore. She looked at the cherry blossoms with a distracted expression, the light in her eyes dimming.

Just as her thoughts were scattered, she suddenly felt something. She looked out in shock at the distance.

Only to see a ball of vast energy surging out of the ground.

The color was pure white. Was it Zong Shou? Wasn’t that direction Yin Dragon Canyon?

Were there any changes in that place?

This feeling was like a fish out of water, a tiger growing wings…

Did that fellow gain a fortuitous encounter in the Yin Dragon Canyon once more?

In the past, although his fate had some Saint Emperor signs, it was just on the side, not the main thing. But looking at it now, it had some changes.

The aura became really overbearing…

Looking at the sky, the dark cloud didn’t fade.

How should she put it? The aura was even darker. Before, although they lost, there was a chance of survival.

Now looking at it, they had no chance of surviving at all.

Looking forward, Kong Yao couldn’t help but be stunned once more.

Her brother’s fate was black. This time wouldn’t he be dragged down by the Xue Family and something would happen to him?

What a pity, she heard that this Kongxu elder Brother had just married not Long ago…

※※※※

Just as Kong Yao was hesitating…

A young scholar laying leisurely on the wall also exclaimed, his body suddenly straightening as he looked towards the east.

Beside him, was a muscular male, wearing bright armor and holding onto a machete. His body was straight like a pole, standing still.

At this moment, he was frightened by the young scholar as he looked around. Only when he noticed that no other people were looking, did he heave a sigh of relief.

“Junior brother! Stop scaring me, stop being startled and fidgeting. If someone notices that I snuck up the city wall when I am on duty, what would happen to me?”

When the teen scholar heard this, he was a little speechless, saying with despise, “Senior brother, you are a major general in charge of three thousand people! Why are you afraid of everything, don’t you have this bit of magnanimity?”

He shook his head in disappointment, “Didn’t you say that your uncle had huge power in Gantian Mountain? You joined him, why did you only become a major general? With your Grade Eight strength, no matter where you were, you would at least be a governor commander. To think you said that your uncle treated you like his son!”

That muscular man didn’t care, arguing without any intentions of backing down. However, he suppressed his voice, afraid that others would hear.

“Bullshit! Although my uncle is in charge of Gantian political matters, the meeting hall people are keeping their eyes on him. I heard that those people actually have the power to select cabinet elders which is why my uncle has been really careful, acting really fairly, not daring to make any mistakes. He also couldn’t let those people grab any advantages over him. Moreover, he also can’t interfere with the military. Junior brother do you think that Gantian Mountain Monster King is crazy? What random meeting hall actually has the power to remove a minister. Does he even still have power and control?”

As he said that, he smiled respectfully, “Actually it is good for the army rules to be stricter, I like it! Although I studied military matters from master, I have never led troops. It is good to start from a major general. Actually, uncle also doesn’t know that I have reached Grade Eight.”

The teen scholar shook his head continuously as he heard this, thinking that using this meeting hall to restrict the cabinet was where the ruler was really smart.

If not, with how the Monster King relaxed in his rule and handed power down, this Gantian Mountain would have had a change of master.

However, in terms of military discipline, he admired him. The 100,000 troops of Gantian Mountain were not only elite but they were really well disciplined. Their morale was also not low.

No wonder a few months ago, they could use two million to shock tens of millions of Thousand City Alliance troops and cause them to lose.

During these few days, he had walked around Gantian Mountain. The more he observed, the more shocked he was.

This ruler was really one that he couldn’t read. Never focusing on governance, yet the country was safe and prosperous. He didn’t bother with those officials, but they were really honest and prudent.

Speaking of which, the Taoists talked about ruling by doing nothing. The Confucians talked about ruling by keeping one another in check.

Did it refer to Zong Shou’s current situation?
