Beastmaster

Chapter 393 No Grave

After asking for instructions, the patriarch and leader of the Zhong family followed everyone and left.

In the lobby on the first floor, when everyone appeared in the hall one by one, they all bowed to Yan Yuxiao and said, "Greetings, Young Princess!"

Yan Yuxiao looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please stand up. No need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Princess!" Then everyone stood up, and the hall returned to its previous busy scene.

"Yuxiao, I didn't expect your family background to be so powerful," Longying said in shock.

Yan Yuxiao laughed, "Sister Longying, I told you at the beginning that my family background is slightly higher than that of the aristocratic family~"

Fang Tiankuo was speechless, "How can this be higher..."

"Yu Luo, are you okay?" Zhong Ye Lin said to Xi Yu Luo who looked a little unhappy beside him.

Xi Yuluo shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

All the things and humiliating words were said word for word by the clan leader, so when Xi Yuluo saw him again, the memories suddenly awakened.

Ling Fengzhi said, "Child, let the past be the past. Since it has already happened and cannot be changed, just let it be."

"Okay, I understand, uncle," Xi Yuluo said with a smile.

Just as everyone was about to walk out the door, an urgent voice came from behind, "Please stay."

At this time, everyone stopped and turned to look at the source of the sound.

It was the head of the Zhong family who had just chased down. He was a little out of breath at this moment, and it was obvious that he was a little anxious.

Seeing this, Zhong Yelin pulled Xi Yuluo and was about to leave.

"Ye Lin," the old man called anxiously.

Everyone's eyes were on Zhong Yelin and Xi Yuluo. As the young princess, Yan Yuxiao naturally knew something about this matter.

So Yan Yuxiao said, "Let's go first, they may have something else to say."

Everyone could tell the difference between the two, so they left.

When leaving, Jing Kai patted Zhong Yelin on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we are all here."

Zhong Yelin nodded with emotion when he heard this and said, "Thank you, Brother Kai."

Then everyone followed Yan Yuxiao and left, leaving behind Zhong Yelin, Xi Yuluo and the head of the Zhong family who followed them.

Zhong Yelin said in a cold voice, "What's the matter?"

Xi Yuluo still seemed to have a shadow on this person, so she hid behind Zhong Yelin. This move made Zhong Yelin extremely heartbroken.

The head of the Zhong family looked at Zhong Yelin with an apologetic and regretful expression, "Ye Lin, Yu Luo, long time no see."

"Is that all? Oh, long time no see, it's ok, let's go," Zhong Yelin said, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait," the head of the Zhong family said again.

Who could have thought that this patriarch, who ranks thirty-sixth among the 217 noble families, would have such an attitude towards a junior.

"If you have something to say, just say it," Zhong Yelin continued.

The head of the Zhong family spoke with all his strength, as if he had made up his mind, "I'm sorry, Ye Lin, Yu Luo."

The head of the Zhong family completely lost the demeanor of a patriarch at this time, and actually bowed his head and apologized to a junior.

After hearing these words, Zhong Yelin and Xi Yuluo were shocked, and tears gradually welled up in Zhong Yelin's eyes.

"Your grandmother has been missing you all these years since you left. Now she is seriously ill and has sent you many messages, but she has not received any reply from you, and there has been no news from you," said the head of the Zhong family, his voice choked with sobs.

Zhong Yelin frowned upon hearing this, "No news about me? I was in trouble many years ago, and I sent a message to my family asking for help, but they didn't even reply to me!"

Hearing this, the clan leader also looked up and said in surprise, "No way, the Zhong family's intelligence network has always been active, it's impossible that they didn't receive your information, right?"

Zhong Yelin snorted coldly, "Don't pretend. The one who has been in contact with me now is always my elder brother. How could you not know that I sent a letter to my elder brother for help?"

So that's how it is. Zhong Yelin had contacted his family in the past through his elder brother Zhong Yeting, and it was Zhong Yeting who gave Zhong Yelin some news about Fang Tiankuo and others. But that one time, when Zhong Yelin was in danger, he sent a message to his elder brother but received no reply. From that time on, he had lost contact with the Zhong family.

Upon hearing this, the clan leader said, “Your eldest brother…passed away.”

"What?!" Zhong Yelin stared at the patriarch in disbelief when he heard that.

The clan leader nodded and said, "Your eldest brother fell seriously ill and later passed away. Your grandmother, who was already ill because of you, is now also seriously ill."

Zhong Yelin's eyes were red at this time, and tears kept falling to the ground.

Xi Yuluo held Zhong Yelin's arm tightly and continued to comfort him.

"Where is my grandma now?" Zhong Yelin said in a deep voice.

"In the family, go and see her," the patriarch's eyes were blurred with tears.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yelin turned around, grabbed Xi Yuluo and rushed out.

Then he took out a dusty token from his ring, on which was written a big word "Zhong".

After injecting energy, the token then transformed into a ray of light carrying Zhong Yelin and Xi Yuluo and flew towards the Zhong family at the highest level of the sky.

At the family gate, Zhong Yelin knocked frantically, "Open the door!"

The door creaked, then opened, and two young guards walked out.

"Who?" the guard asked unhappily.

Zhong Yelin was even more furious when he heard this, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look at who I am!"

With a roar, the guards realized that this was the second son who had been away from home for many years.

"Second...Second Young Master?" the guard said tremblingly.

Zhong Yelin snorted coldly, "Let me in quickly! Take me to see my grandma!"

"Yes, yes, yes," the guard hurriedly invited Zhong Yelin in, and then took Zhong Yelin towards the patriarch's mansion in the center.

Many people from the Zhong family could be seen along the way, and they all looked at Zhong Yelin as if they had seen a ghost.

In the clan leader's mansion, Zhong Yelin entered smoothly under the guidance of the guards.

He found his grandmother's room with ease and instantly pushed the door open and rushed in.

"Grandma!" Zhong Yelin shouted and rushed to the window.

The old lady on the bed looked sick. She slowly opened her eyes when she heard this and looked at her grandson in disbelief.

"Ye Lin? Is it your Ye Lin?" The old lady became excited when she saw the appearance of the man in front of her.

Zhong Yelin knelt in front of the bed, holding her grandmother's withered hands and crying, "It's me, grandma!"

Upon seeing this, the old lady's energy and spirit suddenly seemed to be restored. She struggled to sit up from the bed and leaned against the headboard.

"Ye Lin, is it really you?" The old lady's eyes began to blur and tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.

"It's my grandma. I'm sorry. It's all my fault for being too willful back then," Zhong Yelin choked with tears.

The old lady touched Zhong Yelin's head and said, "Silly boy, how could grandma blame you?"

At this time, the old lady saw Xi Yuluo standing at the door, showed a loving smile and waved, "Yuluo, hehe, come here, let grandma see you."

Xi Yuluo also came to grandma's bed at this time and grabbed her other hand, "Grandma..."

"Haha, good kids, you are still together. I feel relieved now," the old lady said, looking at the two children with relief.

They both choked up and said, "Grandma, we're sorry."

"You don't have to apologize to me. If you want to blame someone, blame your stubborn father. If it weren't for him, your child wouldn't be this tall."

As the old lady spoke, she gestured the height.

Hearing the words "dead father", Zhong Yelin's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Grandma, I will come back to see you often in the future."

The old lady laughed and said, "Okay, that's good."

Then, Zhong Yelin asked, "Grandma, I...my brother...

Hearing this, the old lady's expression suddenly darkened, "Oh, Ye Ting is gone."

"What is going on?!" Zhong Yelin asked hurriedly.

The old lady said, "They all told me that Ye Ting died of illness, but I'm not stupid. I know that the child was possessed and went astray."

"What?! Wrong path?!" Zhong Ye Lin said in surprise.

In my impression, my elder brother Zhong Yeting is a beast general who practices diligently. How can I believe that he will go astray and become possessed?

The old lady's dim eyes seemed to have explained everything, "Yes, Ye Ting joined a foreign country, and your father found out. He should have been executed by the family."

At this moment, Zhong Yelin felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue. He immediately collapsed to the ground and was unable to calm down for a long time.

The old lady looked at Zhong Yelin with concern and said, "Child, don't take it too seriously. When your elder brother chose this path, his fate was already determined. You can't blame anyone."

Zhong Ye Lin's tears fell to the ground like rain.

Zhong Yelin began to recall the past between him and his elder brother. He had never seen his mother since he was a child, and his mother died of complications during childbirth.

So my father has never liked me since I was a child and has never given me any love.

All the warmth he had received since childhood came from this older brother who was five years older than him. He didn't think that his mother left because of him.

The eldest brother always felt that this might be his mother's fate and no one else could be blamed.

But my father didn't think so. He has always been dissatisfied with me.

Since I was young, my elder brother has been like a father to me, loving and caring about me.

But now, everyone tells me that my eldest brother joined a foreign country and was executed by his family. How can I accept this?

After a while, with Xi Yuluo's care, Zhong Yelin gradually came to his senses.

"Grandma, where is my brother's grave?" Zhong Yelin asked.

The old lady shook her head and said, "There is no grave. A foreign running dog is not worthy of having a grave in the Zhong family."

Hearing this, Zhong Ye Lin cried even harder. His elder brother didn't even have a grave.
