Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Chapter 316: Result 173, designed Hou Yuduan

He looked at Hou Yuduan as if he were admiring a piece of fine jade, his eyes filled with excitement and thrill. His return to Zhaoyang this time had already been quite fruitful so far, but he had never expected to encounter such a great surprise as Hou Yuduan.

"Boy, how about you come back to Bailu Academy with me?"

After a long wait, Hou Yuduan suddenly heard these words in his ears. Hearing the four words 'Bailu Academy', his expression was immensely surprised.

But after a moment of silence, a hint of hesitation emerged in his eyes...

Seeing Hou Yuduan gently shake his head, Ji Yanzhi's eyebrows knitted instantly.

......

Tongling County, up in the air

"That's not the case. Four years ago, if you had returned to Bailu Academy with me, today's situation would definitely not be like this!"

Ji Yanzhi's response pulled Hou Yuduan's thoughts from four years ago back to the present. They looked at each other, fists clenched, making no attempt to hide the anger in their hearts.

"The main body of the Blood Demon is Ling Er. Over thirteen hundred years ago, before the Zhaoyang incident occurred, Ling Er was extremely affectionate towards me, her elder brother. After reincarnating as the Blood Demon, she would still have special feelings for the scholar, so when I learned that Tian Honglu could serve as her vessel for revival, I arranged through Fa Zheng to pass the Blood Shadow Sword to her.

You know what happened afterwards..."

Hou Yuduan shuddered, his memories reverting back to the first time he saw Tian Honglu. His thoughts gradually cleared, a look of disbelief appearing on his face as he involuntarily looked down below.

The direction he looked in was precisely Hou Yuxiao, who, at that moment, was unable to move...

Hou Yuxiao's eyes were filled with struggle, clearly understanding why Old Fifth was looking at him this way; he was suspecting him!

The person who brought back Tian Honglu last year was him.

The person who arranged Tian Honglu in the east wing was also him.

Old Fifth was suspecting that his own elder brother was plotting against him.

This damn Ji Yanzhi, even in death, didn't forget to set him up...

Once brothers harbor suspicions against one another, reconciliation becomes difficult.

Hou Yuxiao didn't know the purpose behind Ji Yanzhi's actions. He nearly went mad as he mobilized all his cultivation to break free and speak, but no matter what, he couldn't achieve it. He could only watch Hou Yuduan's desperate gaze, his heart burning with urgency...

Ji Yanzhi was doing this intentionally, controlling the entire scene at this moment. Hou Yuxiao being unable to explain himself was certainly his doing on purpose. After realizing this, Hou Yuxiao looked at Ji Yanzhi with a suddenly sinister gaze.

Although Ji Yanzhi's body had become somewhat ethereal, looking down at Hou Yuxiao's sinister gaze from the ground, a faint shade of You flickered deep within his pupils.

"With no more vulnerabilities, my Confucian Sect... will have successors from this point on!"

Hou Yuduan stared at Hou Yuxiao for a long time. His respect for his elder brother finally made him suppress the urge to question Hou Yuxiao. He withdrew his gaze, gradually shifting it towards Maiden Hong.

He knew that all eyes were on him at this moment, he understood what these people wished for him to do, and he was clearer on what he should do...

However, even so, the hand holding the Blood Shadow Sword trembled for a long time without making a move. As he watched Maiden Hong, his body shook more intensely; his eyes filled with struggle and pain, especially seeing Maiden Hong watching him calmly, without a ripple in her gaze, tore at Hou Yuduan's heart.

After struggling for over a hundred breaths, with everyone watching, Hou Yuduan made a move that no one expected; he abruptly raised the sword towards his own neck...

Perhaps unable to bear the pain in his heart, he planned to end his own life.

On the ground, Hou Yuxiao's gaze was fiercely wild, the veins on his forehead nearly bursting. Second Elder Hou Yucheng and Fourth Elder Hou Yujie also witnessed this scene with the same intensity, their desire to intervene reaching a frenzied level, yet they were absolutely unable to...

Just in the nick of time, the calm-looking Maiden Hong abruptly appeared in front of Hou Yuduan, grabbed the Blood Shadow Sword, aligned it with her abdomen, and resolutely plunged forward, pitching into Hou Yuduan's arms.

Fwoosh...

"No!"
