C1 Remarriage

Early in the morning, a warm ray of the morning sun illuminated the earth.

"Heh …" "Ha!"

Exuding Cloud City, Ling Family, this was a martial family. Many young disciples were gathered at the plaza for their morning practice, ranging from seventeen to eighteen years old, to five to sixteen years old.

Behind the group of youngsters, a middle-aged man was watching them with a smile and nodding his head. This meant that this group of youngsters were already extremely outstanding in his eyes.

The Ling family being able to develop into one of the four great families of Cloud's City was completely inseparable from being a powerhouse among the younger generation.

"Ah …"

Suddenly, a scream resounded throughout the entire Ling family, causing the morning disciples to turn their heads towards an old abandoned courtyard. The scene had an inharmonious atmosphere.

"It's him again! I really don't know when the boss will be here!"

"He doesn't have a Martial Vein, yet he wasted a large amount of the family's resources. I really don't understand what the Patriarch and Uncle are thinking!"

"Yes, he is just a son that Eldest Uncle picked up. I say that he should have been expelled from the Ling family a long time ago!"

As the youths discussed amongst themselves, their faces were filled with dissatisfaction. However, as they spoke, they looked towards the middle-aged man behind them, as if there was a hint of cowardice in their eyes.

"Big brother Tianyu isn't someone I picked up …"

Suddenly, a young girl's voice rang out in the plaza. She was called Ling Shuiyao, and was ten years old. She was the precious daughter of the Ling Family's Patriarch, and normally had the best relationship with Ling Tianyu.

Although she was only ten years old, she was still a beauty. If she were to grow up, it would be clear how devastatingly beautiful she was.

"Third Uncle, quickly tell me, big brother Tianyu wasn't picked up!" The little girl's eyes were jet-black, and she had an irresistible force as she asked the middle-aged man.

"Ugh …" The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said: "Yao'er, the truth cannot be changed. The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said:" Yao'er, the truth cannot be changed.

The middle-aged man's name was Ling Yu, the younger brother of the Ling Family's Patriarch. He had a low position in the family and had no children, so he was assigned the role of supervising morning training. As for Ling Shuiyao's eldest uncle, he was the elder brother of the Ling Family's Patriarch, Ling Feiyang.

It was precisely because of these three people that the Ling Family established their status in Cloud's Pit and became one of the Four Great Families.

"So what if I don't abandon him? Yesterday, the Song Family changed the marriage contract using a piece of paper. This caused the entire Ling Family to be shamed in Chu Yun City! "

He was around sixteen or seventeen years old, and was the direct descendant of the Great Elder. His name was Ling Hao, and amongst the younger generation, his cultivation was the highest.

"This …" Ling Yu was speechless, and said: "Tianyu's marriage is the decision of the entire Ling Family."

"I know. Of course this is the Ling Family's decision. However, do you think that you can hide it for the rest of your life for that trash? "Well, the engagement has only been a few days, and the Song Family already knows about it!"

Ling Hao's expression was cold and grim. He directly criticized Ling Yu, not putting him in his eyes at all.

To a large clan, changing their marriage was indeed a matter of shame.

Not only was the Song Family's eldest daughter Song Wushuang shockingly beautiful, she was also known as the number one beauty in the Chu Yun City. Her cultivation was not weak, and she could be ranked as one of the top five among the younger generation.

How could such a girl be willing to marry a good-for-nothing?

The betrothal earlier was due to the intentional concealment of the Ling family, and there was also a bit of intention to exploit the trash. Otherwise, even if the family head agreed, those elders would not let this matter rest.

"No need to argue, hurry up and practice. Otherwise, you'll be served by the rules of the Ling Family!"

This was the only power that he could use.

As for the youngsters, when they heard the words' clan rule ', they immediately shut their mouths and no longer spoke.

"Ah …" "Father, don't die, don't die …"

In that dilapidated courtyard, a fourteen-year-old boy was sitting on the bed. His hands were covering his head with a hideous expression. It was a look of extreme pain.

Beside him, Ling Feiyang hurriedly hugged him and said anxiously, "Yu'er, are you having a nightmare? Your father is fine. Your father is safe and sound. Open your eyes and take a look!"

But no matter what, Ling Tianyu's eyes were still tightly shut as he immersed himself in that indistinct dream.

After a long while, he gradually calmed down! He had recovered.

"Father, I dreamt of that scene again …"

The pain in Ling Tianyu's expression faded as he recovered from the horror, but he still felt a bit despondent.

However, even though everyone knew about this dream, Ling Feiyang did not care about it. He jokingly said, "You brat, I, your father, am still alive here. You are always yelling about not dying. Are you cursing me to die?"

"En..." "How could that be? It's not like the person in the dream was you, but I feel like I've seen that person somewhere before. Also, I called him 'Father' in the dream, it's really strange!"

Ling Tianyu muttered as he slowly walked down from his bed. His gaze swept across the room and found an envelope on the table with the word "remarry" written on it.

"Dad, I'm sorry, I've shamed you!"

Ling Tianyu lowered his gaze, walked to the table, and sat down on a chair.

"Silly kid, what are you talking about? I, the Patriarch, your Third Uncle, and you didn't agree to this marriage, but it was all because of those old bastards. I don't know who they are trying to use this to stabilize the Ling Family's position, but they never thought about such a big thing. How could the Song Family not investigate everything?"

Ling Feiyang smiled as he waved his hand. He sat down at the table and poured two cups of tea.

"Father, in fact, you shouldn't be living in such a shabby place with me. I am a person who cannot cultivate, so naturally I would not dare to ask for anything. However, Father is different, you are the pillar of the Ling Family!"

"You are my son, you can live wherever your father lives. Who doesn't know the intentions of those old fellows? If they do anything bad to you, I will definitely tear apart their bones."

This caused a warm feeling to rise in Ling Tianyu's heart. He knew that he had been abandoned. If it wasn't for Ling Feiyang, he would probably have been eaten up by wild beasts.

As for the person in the dream, he must have had his own difficulties. Perhaps, he had met with a life-and-death crisis and was no longer in this world.

"Alright, stop thinking about it. Your mother has been dead for so many years. Your father will take good care of you!" Ling Feiyang calmed down, and said once again, "Regarding this matter of changing the marriage, the Patriarch has asked me to come and discuss it with him. I will go out for a while, and you should rest well!"

After Ling Feiyang left, Ling Tianyu stared at the betrothal agreement as the contents of it appeared in his mind.

Naturally, he would not be willing to marry a good-for-nothing like Ling Tianyu. However, since the marriage between the two was already set, in order to save face, the Song Family proposed to change the marriage. And the target of the marriage was the Song Family's second young miss, Song Rushuang.

It was rumored that the young miss of the Song Family was the number one beauty in Chu Yun City, but the Song Family's second young miss had the face of a pig, and a fierce personality too. Even ordinary citizens would not be interested in such a person, and the Ling family would definitely not marry such a woman into their family.

"Song Rushuang …"

Ling Tianyu grabbed the envelope on the table and muttered to himself.

He knew that the Song Family was going all out. Song Rushuang was the Song Family's second lady, but he was just a piece of trash.

If the Ling family agreed to change the marriage, then he would be in dire straits …

"Is this really a sure death situation?"

Ling Tianyu muttered to himself. His hand could not help but touch the jade pendant hanging around his neck. It was carved with the words "Tianyu". Perhaps his name originated from this jade pendant.

As for the origin of the jade pendant, it was when he was picked up and brought back to the Ling family.

"Ahh, why is it that I don't have any Martial Veins, so why can't I cultivate?"

He wasn't willing to accept his fate, but there was nothing he could do about it. On this continent, no matter where he went, martial arts was the most important thing.

The realms of the martial arts were divided into the Mortal realm, the Earth realm, and the Heaven realm.

Each great realm was further divided into several small realms. The Mortal Realm was divided into the Body Refinement Realm, the Congealing Realm, the Essence Creation Realm, and the Qi Manipulation Realm.

As for the division of the Earth Martial Realm, Ling Tianyu did not know either. Even in the large cities outside of Chu Yun City and the surrounding sects, he had never heard of it.

If the Earth realm was like that, then the Heaven realm martial artists were legends.

Other than the level of martial artists, there were also the divisions of martial skills. On this continent, everything had different grades and ranks. Often, a good martial skill would bring great achievements to a martial artist.

Martial skills were also divided into three levels, each level was divided into lower, middle, and upper grade, but not everyone could train in a good technique. For a martial artist, the most important level was the foundation.

However, the best Martial Skills in the Chu Yun City only had five Medial Grade Human Grade Martial Skills, which were respectively controlled by the four families and the mayor. Only the patriarch and elders had the right to practice them, and as for the disciples, they could only practice Inferior Grade Human Realm Martial Skills and some entry-level techniques.

Cloudburst City was the territory of the Empire of Feng Yun, and the Empire of Feng Yun was made up of three great Duke Palaces: Medicine King Manor, Sky King Manor, and Nether King Manor!

The Heavenly King Manor was a place to cultivate armies, and was also where weapons were forged. The Medicine King Manor was a place to refine pills, and it provided security for the country.

The three Duke Palaces were in a perilous position, and the Cloudburst City was the territory of the Medicine King's Mansion.

However, where there were people, there would always be fights. The three Royal mansions were all involved in the war for the Empire on the surface, but they were still secretly plotting and fighting for power.

Although the imperial family knew about it, they could only turn a blind eye because this was a kind of balance. Once it was broken, the empire would no longer exist.

"No, I absolutely cannot resign myself to fate."

A resolute expression appeared on Ling Tianyu's face. He immediately grabbed the marriage contract and tore it into pieces.

"Fate is in my own hands, I will definitely become a martial artist, I must let you know, I am not a sacrifice in the exchange of benefits!"

With a cold expression, Ling Tianyu gritted his teeth and walked out of the room.
