Chapter 81
Tse Yu Bak left the inn and went back to the Tse Mansion. The Tse Mansion was the strongest authority in Night Lion City. The Tse Clan members had been mayor of Night Lion City for generations and they controlled the city, only having to pay a yearly tax to the Lam dynasty yearly to show their respect and loyalty.
On his way home, whispers from passersby filled the air. It wasnt a strange sight to him. After he was found to have an innate heart chamber, the whole clan placed their hopes on him. All sorts of precious g-food, cultivation styles, gliphilities and many more were supplied. The clan was filled with joy, knowing that they had someone to take over the clan.
But as years passed by, after he turned thirteen, things changed as he still didnt break through. His father no longer smiled at him, with only sighs left while his mother wept all night. Soon, his father took in other concubines, giving him a few younger siblings. Tse Yu Bak only knew when he grew older that his father was trying to give birth to another successor.
He was no longer being provided with g-food, gliphilties and cultivation styles. When he turned eighteen, as if knowing there was no more hope in him, they allocated the Lion Dance Inn for him to manage so he could contribute to the clan. But Tse Yu Bak only spent his time drinking away his sorrows at the inns top floor.
Everything ended today. The Tse Clan members sensed that Tse Yu Bak was no longer the same. He was more energetic, lively and flourishing. The weak, sickly and hopeless Tse Yu Bak was gone. He now finally looked like the young man he should be!
Bang!
The Tse Clans hall was abruptly opened. A group of old men surrounding a seated man looked over in shock at the sight. This was the Tse Clan, one of the strongest clans in the South, and they were currently having a meeting. It was undoubtedly an important meeting, and no one dared to interrupt. When they saw who it was, they turned to the man in the main seat in unison.
The man had a muscular body and hair that reached his cheeks, almost covering his mouth, resembling a lions mane. However, the snowy white hair couldnt hide the passing of time. Despite his age, everyone still respected him as the current clan leader of the Tse Clan and the Lion King, the White Lion King, Tse Chun.
Tse Chun was shocked to see Tse Yu Bak enter the meeting. What surprised him more was the look in his sons eyes; it was just like six years ago, an energetic lion cub.
We shall stop here today. Everyone may leave, Tse Chun ordered. He had such a low voice that it felt like a lions growl. Nobody dared to disobey him, and all the elders immediately left after bowing, only taking a few glances at Tse Yu Bak.
Get Doctor Chi here. Tse Chuns voice rang out.
Soon, an elder arrived at the meeting hall with the help of many others. The elder frowned at the sight of the broken chair and waved his hand while holding his walking cane, signalling for the person who helped him to step back. Whats the matter, Clan Leader?
Doctor Chi, you have been a guest doctor of our clan for ages, and Ive never doubted your skills, Tse Chun said slowly, caressing his white beard. Have you ever heard of the snow centipedes dissolved tendon powder?
Hearing him, Doctor Chi caressed his beard and replied. Snow centipedes dissolved tendon powder? Ive heard of dissolved tendon powder, but not this. Are they perhaps related?
Tse Chun stared at Doctor Chi calmly as if trying to read him. After a long pause, Tse Chun then spoke up. Nevermind, please head back to rest, Doctor Chi.
I apologise for being too uneducated to be able to answer the Clan Leaders question. Ill take my leave first. Doctor Chi bowed slightly and left with his cane.
After that, Tse Chun then turned to Tse Yu Bak. Keep this a secret and get your friend over to the clan to help you cure the poison.
Yes, father. Tse Yu Bak nodded.
He once hated his father, but Tse Yu Bak understood that it was all for the clan. Life in a clan was cruel. No matter how much his father doted on him, the clan would have to come before him. Seeing how angry Tse Chun got today, to the point that he destroyed his chair, Tse Yu Bak knew that he still had a place in his fathers heart.
And he no longer hated him.
