11 Is he really my father?
Yang Clan. Northern Region.
After Victor left the restaurant, he immediately headed towards his own clan. Not only did he need to inform his father of the broken engagement, but he also needed to find out as much as he could about the current world, history, and cultivation.
Although he had the body’s previous memories, Victor deemed it too little, he needed to know how to survive in this new world that he found himself in.
“Amazing!” Victor couldn’t help but exclaim at the sight of his own clan, though he had the memories, in reality it was far more beautiful.
The Yang Clan was a behemoth, there were guards in strange armor near the entrance, checking and recording everyone who entered it. Clan members wandered everywhere, as if they were rushing to certain places. It was the first time Victor had seen anything like it, so he was too curious.
‘Just like in the novels!’ Victor couldn’t help but chuckle as he passed guards or clan members, he noticed how any person he encountered systematically slightly bowed to him with his head down.
Of course, Victor liked to see it, it would be strange if he would not feel happy at the sight of their worship, but he knew that they did so not at all because of fear of his personality or Victor’s personal power, but only because of his position.-.
Therefore, Victor soon became bored from seeing it happen again and again so he picked up his pace and marched toward his father.
“Victor, are you back already?”
As Victor entered the huge hall and started to open the door, he heard a soft male voice.
‘Is he really my father?’ Victor thought, checking his memory several times.
In front of him stood a middle-aged man, his appearance was average at best. Which completely puzzled Victor. On closer inspection Victor really began to doubt whether he was his biological father.
There were too many differences in their appearance. Victor’s father had black hair, brown eyes, a muscular build, short stature, and a face you might not distinguish in a common crowd.
It was a strong contrast to Victor, who was the exact opposite of his father in appearance, for example, he had white hair, purple eyes, as well as his father’s muscular body, but unlike his fathers body whose muscles were too prominent, Victor had it well built and proportioned so it didn’t look overly muscular.
He was tall and had a pretty handsome face that the average girl could hardly forget. When comparing his appearance, Victor just couldn’t help but wonder whether the two of them were truly a pair of father and son.
Of course, he couldn’t ask him about it in person, so he decided to keep those doubts to himself, perhaps someday he’ll find out the answer to that question, if, of course, he ever gave any thought to what Victor doubted.
Yang Feng, the current patriarch of the Yang Clan and Victor’s father, slowly opened his eyes.
‘Something has changed in him…’ That was his first thought as he looked at Victor.
He clearly knew his son’s temperament, and now he was very different from his former self. Every time they met, it was like Victor was as if he had his head in the clouds, and he couldn’t concentrate on anything, because all his thoughts were focused on something else.
But, now Yang Feng noticed that Victor, no longer with his head in the clouds, had a rather calm expression and his whole atmosphere seemed to have taken on a different hue, only that the patriarch couldn’t exactly pinpoint what had changed.
“Father, I’m back.” – Victor answered calmly.
Even though it was their first meeting, he didn’t panic at all about whether or not Yang Feng would notice that his son had been switched.
“Why did you come?” – Yang Feng asked in bewilderment. In the first place rarely did Victor come to him but every time he came it was with some type of request, so this time he assumed he once again came with one.
‘Probably again for that little girl,’ sighed Yang Feng. He didn’t understand why his son was so obsessed with the Mu Clan girl, as if something had been slipped into his food. Of course, he tried to stop his son’s obsession, all he had to do was break off the engagement, but Victor was adamantly against it and even said that if he did that, Victor would leave the Yang Clan. So Yang Feng could only watch his son suffer from unrequited love.
“Father, I need your help.” – said Victor.
Yang Feng nodded his head as he understood why Victor came to him.
‘It’s about Mu Bing Yun. Again’
“There she is again…” Yang Feng’s face darkened, if the Mu Clan had been much weaker than it currently is, he would not hesitate to destroy it, he would gladly have done it long ago, putting Victor out of his misery.
“I want to break off the engagement between me and Mu Bing Yun.” – Victor said solemnly.
“Huh? What did you say?” – For a few seconds Yang Feng felt as if he was deaf, he could not believe that his son would ever want to break off his engagement with Mu Bing Yun. So he thought that he was too tired from his work and he had overheard.
“Honestly I’m tired, what’s the point of always chasing after her if she won’t accept my feelings… Even if I break the engagement, as a young master of a prominent clan, would I be able to stay without a woman? So there’s no need to waste time on a girl like Mu Bing Yun anymore.” – said Victor with a little smirk. Of course, he didn’t point out the true reason for his rejection of her, because he couldn’t say that he wanted to break off the engagement because Mu Bing Yun was too beautiful and he didn’t want any problems to find their way to him because of that.
“Break off the engagement…?” – Mumbled Yang Feng faintly as if talking to himself, he was stunned by Victor’s words, as he never thought he would hear it coming from his lips.
Victor watched Yang Feng’s facial expression change and almost laughed, it was really amusing to watch.
“All right! All right! Great idea, son!” – Only after a few dozen seconds, Yang Feng, came out of his stupor and quickly decided to agree, because Victor could have changed his mind any second.
He knew that if what Victor said was true and he really wanted to break off the engagement then his sick obsession was slowly coming to a halt, which made Yang Fei couldn’t help but feel happy.
“I support you, no matter what the Mu Clan says! And don’t worry about the marriage, I’ll find a much prettier one than Mu Bing Yun.” – Joyfully clapped his hands Yang Feng, he was in a jovial mood after this news.
“I will go to the Mu clan tomorrow and relay the message!” – After these words, Victor did not linger with his father anymore, leaving him with his own thoughts. He repeated his father’s words to himself, a little stunned, because he did not need a wife even more gorgeous than Mu Bing Yun, even an average-looking wife would do, but alas, his father did not know that. He was just too happy about Victor’s change in attitude.
