Chapter 1 - Seventh Young Master is Gone

Seventh Young Master is Gone

“Trash, Come Out!” a youth said laughing around. He came outside a small courtyard, his mood was good today and decided to make fun around with his favorite target.

“Brother Yue, I think he became deaf with previous beating. We should knock the door.” said a tall youth who was beside the one called brother Yue said it laughing out loud.

They were all around age of 12, they are carrying a strong aura of practitioners.

Chen Yue “Yes, you should knock the door. Do it bit gently.” he said with a smug face.All the surrounding youths were laughing.

“Yes. Young Master Yue.” said with a broad smile and prepared himself to kick the door. When the feet touched the door and it broke open shattering the door.

Chen Yue ” He didn’t hear the knock.” he said laughing, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

Hearing the breaking of door people from the surroundings gathered around to know what is happening. Seeing Chen Yue and his gang there, everyone understood what is happening.

One of the servants in background spoke with other in a low voice “It is Young Master Yue! No surprise there!” .

One of the new servants asked the first servant “What is happening? Why did young master Yue come to outer courtyard?”

The first servant laughed and spoke “You are new here so you don’t know about it. It is a normal thing here.”

Servant “Who lives in that courtyard.” he asked surprised. That particular courtyard is located near the servant quarters. It is the only courtyard there.

“That courtyard, it belongs to young master Qi.”

“Young master Qi?” he looked confused hearing this.

“Don’t be surprised. Yes, he is indeed the son of City Lord. City lords seventh son.”

“Oh! I have never heard of him. I heard about all other young masters, but Young Master Qi. Why does he live here in servant quarters.”

To this question other one didn’t respond. Everyone,else know the reason behind it.

“Seventh Young Masters mother is of lower origins, her family belonged to normal farmers.”

He didn’t speak much but everyone understood what its meaning is.

City lord of Chen city married 4 woman in total. Chen Qi’s mother is last of them. City Lord liked her and married her despite the status difference. It was objected by other family members.

She died couple of months after giving birth of Chen Qi. From then on Chen Qi was all alone.

Even though he has a status of being young master, there was no one to support him or take care of him. He was subtly being suppressed by the other Ladies and young masters.

Death of Chen Qi’s mother created a barrier between Chen Qi and his father. City Lord loved his commoner wife , he was very happy about her pregnancy and child. But when Chen Qi was born lady got seriously ill and slowly succumbed to death.

Chen Qi has never seen his father closely. Every time he saw him was from distance as servants see the lord.

“Where did that Trash go?” suddenly they heard the sound from the courtyard.

Everyone were surprised hearing this.

“Young Master Yue, that trash is not here. He must have gone outside.”

Young Master Yue “Hmm! Where can he go, he will comeback here. Then I will have my fun.” saying that Young Master Yue and his lackeys left the yard.

Chen Yue called for one of the servants “Let me know immediately after he comes back.”

Servant “Yes, Young master, I will personally stand guard here.” he said trying to gain a favor from Young Master Yue.

That servant who was instructed by Chen Yue was standing there in the courtyard as a guard. Slowly everyone left that place.

Few looked at the servant with disdain few gave a envious look.

A week passed by and yet the servant was waiting outside the courtyard , he was agitated and confused. Because in all this week he didn’t see Young Master Qi. He felt something was wrong. He didn’t dare to go inside the courtyard. Even though Young Master Qi was suppressed, he is still the son of city lord, he will always be greater than him.

He decided to inform Chen Yue about it.

Chen Yue “Congrats Elder Brother. You are the greatest genius of our family. Reaching 6 stage Qi Gathering by the age of 13. Even in Qi Province there should be less than 10 who could do that.”

Chen Yue said flattering to the tall man before him. Even though he is 13 years old he is around 6 feet tall and his body was very sturdy and athletic. His name is Chen Mo, he is the eldest son of City Lord. He is born to the first lady. Chen Mo and Chen Yue are blood siblings.

Chen Mo “Little brother, you should also concentrate on cultivation. I heard Sister Qin is already at 2nd stage she will be able to catch up to you soon.”

Chen Yue “Who cares about them, even if they can beat me they can never beat you.” he said with a pride in his face, laughing loud.

Chen Mo “2nd sister also reached 5th stage few months back. She will catch up to me.” he said with a serious face.

Chen Yue “But, she just have an average affinity with water, but brother you have good affinity with Earth Attribute.”

Just as they were discussing about other siblings, they were interrupted by the the servant.

Seeing that servant Chen Yue suddenly remembered about Chen Qi.

Chen Yue “What are you doing here? I told you to let me know when that trash comes. Did he come back now.” he said laughing out.

That servant was bit scared. It was good that Chen Yue is in good mood.

Servant was scared but slowly responded “Young Master Yue, Young Master Qi hasn’t returned yet.”

Chen Yue was puzzled hearing this, even Chen Mo who was standing there confused.

Chen Yue “You are saying that Chen Yue didn’t come home from that day.”

Servant “Yes, Young Master. There was no trace of him at all.”

Chen Mo “What is happening?”

Chen Yue “It is nothing big brother. I just left a dog at Chen Qi. He is not home all week.”

Hearing the name of Chen Qi , Chen Mo lot interest. He never bothered about Chen Qi, he never considered him in first place.

Chen Yue “You stay there and watch out for him. Let me know when he comes back.” the news of his brother breaking through was priority over that trash.

Soon another week passed and that servant was very scared as there was no news of Young Master Qi again.

“Young Master Qi is missing.” he was clear now. Something happened to him.
