Hearing Du Yan say this, Xia Liu felt like he was being force-fed.
Damn it, this girl went to the scene, and besides making a few sarcastic comments and taking away the goods, what else did she do?
Did she even give a proper look at those Du Family guards who fought to the death to protect the goods?
Xia Liu was genuinely a bit angry.
Judging from the hall scene.
Du Yan's popularity probably surpassed even Du Feixiong's.
So, speaking up and confronting her.
He might quickly be thrown out of the Du Family.
Even Du Yu couldn't protect him.
"Xiaoyan, let Du Yu talk."
Du En knew things were not simple, he could tolerate Du Yan saying so in the past.
But now with the shadow of the Huo Family and the Yang Family, she was not allowed to mess around.
"Although I don't have direct evidence, I believe this is related to the Huo Family and the Yang Family."
Du Yu said seriously.
"Du Yu, if you don't have conclusive evidence, do you know how much disaster your words can cause?"
Du Feixiong angrily said.
"I know, that's why I don't dare to be sure, give me some time, maybe I can find some clues."
"So it's just speculation, Du Yu, you really disappoint me!"
The Great Elder Du En said coldly.
"Sorry Great Elder, I can't produce evidence right now."
Du Yu was very embarrassed, but facing the Great Elder, he could only say this.
If he was wrong about something right, then he was wrong.
"Forget it, do as you please, anyway, the Du Family can't rely on you."
Du En adjusted his mood and sat back in his chair, indifferent, indifferent to Du Yu.
Seeing Du En's attitude towards Du Yu, Du Yan kept smiling behind him.
"Alright, you've had a long day, take some rest when you have the time."
Du Feixiong didn't know what else to say.
"Grandpa Du, that guy is the beggar I mentioned, Du Yu might be confused by him, how could he bring him back to the family!"
Feeling that Du Yu was about to leave easily, Du Yan wasn't having it.
Her eyes rolled, eventually bringing the topic to Xia Liu.
"Du Yu! What's the third rule of the Du Family?"
Suddenly, Du Feixiong's aura turned cold.
If Du Yan didn't mention it, he certainly wouldn't have, but since someone brought it up, and all the elders looked serious, Du Feixiong had to be harsh.
"As a descendant of the Du Family, you are not allowed to bring unidentified individuals back to the family, if found, those with serious circumstances will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the family."
Du Yu stated the third rule word by word seriously.
"Since you know, why did you bring him back?"
"Family Head, I just..."
"Feixiong, don't be so serious, Du Yu's cultivation is no different from an ordinary person now, and bringing back an ordinary person, just let him find a companion to share his troubles, maybe it will make his talent return?"
Du En originally didn't want to speak, but he didn't want to watch Du Yu either.
He wanted him to leave with Xia Liu quickly.
"Hehe, indeed, Young Master Du hasn't seemed happy these years, surely under a lot of pressure, it's only right to make a friend who looks the same."
"Right, right, let's give him a break this once."
"Yes, after all, this young man doesn't have any cultivation, why should we worry about him..."
Listening to the surrounding taunts, Xia Liu's smile gradually turned bitter.
He had a million mmp's in his heart, but he didn't say them out loud.
A bunch of short-sighted scums, wait until I become an alchemist and help Du Yu restore his former peak, let's see what faces you'll have!
Du Yu clenched his fists, these taunts he was used to, didn't matter.
But why talk about his friend.
He had finally gotten him to change his attitude towards life.
"Since that's the case, Du Yu, take this friend and leave."
Du Feixiong changed his serious expression, waving helplessly.
"Yes! Family Head! Goodbye, all Elders."
Since the matter was over, Xia Liu wasn't attacked too much, Du Yu didn't say much either.
But just as he was about to leave the hall, a mocking voice rose again: "Father, I remember, Du Yu has always lived in the best place in the family, a place only for the family's geniuses, now he's brought back a mortal, if he stays there, wouldn't it spark discussions among the clan members?"
"Right, right! Miss Du is absolutely right." Check latest chapters at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
"I've already suggested, and more than one person has reflected to me, that Du Yu, who doesn't even have the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, should move out of the genius area."
"Indeed, I support Miss Du's statement."
As soon as Du Yan spoke, the whole hall became lively.
Almost all the elders agreed with her statement.
So Du En had no reason to say anything more.
He looked at Du Feixiong meaningfully, wanting to know his opinion.
"Du Yu, you heard it, go get your things and move to the northwest corner of the clan, that's more suitable for you and your friend."
Du Feixiong said expressionlessly.
"The northwest corner, that's where the servants live, isn't that a bit much, father?"
"But, being a waste, he should live in such a place."
"Hehe, Feixiong, that's not right, even a waste is your son, isn't he."
Du En said with a faint smile.
"I comply with the Family Head's command, I'll pack my things immediately."
As soon as Du En finished speaking, Du Yu turned around, bowed to Du Feixiong, and then walked out of the hall without looking back.
Xia Liu did the same, he didn't want to stay in this place.
Damn, such a small family, internal strife is so severe.
If I get dragged into it, get exposed, I'll be forced to leave.
Once far from the hall, Xia Liu said to Du Yu: "Brother Du, I'm sorry, my appearance has made you..."
"Brother Liu, please don't say that, I should be the one apologizing, you came to the Du Family for the first time and encountered such things because I didn't consider it well."
Du Yu had no intention of blaming Xia Liu.
Even if Xia Liu wasn't there today, he would still be punished, still embarrassed.
Used to it, just used to it...
"Ha, since that's the case, let's both not apologize, call it even, call it even."
"Hehe, call it even!"
Du Yu smiled slightly.
He didn't even realize it, since meeting Xia Liu, his smile began to increase.
His mindset gradually became cheerful.
Past the hall shortly, Du Yu took Xia Liu to a rather luxurious residential area.
Just as Du Yan said, this was the place only geniuses of the Du Family could reside.
Du Yu and Xia Liu's presence immediately caught the attention of some cultivators sitting meditating in the Cultivation Area.
To enter the residence, they must pass through the Training Ground, Du Yu had no choice.
He could only bite the bullet and lead Xia Liu forward.
These peers, even younger cultivators, often mocked and ridiculed him, Du Yu had long been used to it.
He worried whether Xia Liu would be verbally attacked by them.
What's that saying again, the more you fear it, the harder it comes...
