If Duanmu Lanshan isn't a fool, she'll know who Xiao Tianyu is. This person before her is Xiao Yun, the abandoned child from fifteen years ago, her life's greatest failure.

Is it truly the greatest failure?

Why does the greatest failure possess such immense power?

Why can the greatest failure mobilize High Tier experts from the main campus of Emperor Star Academy, all of whom are at the Saint Heaven Realm?

Why was the greatest failure able to kill the Xiao Family's elder ancestor days ago?

The Xiao Family's elder ancestor was a semi-saint powerhouse, implying that he had half a foot into the legendary Saint Heaven Realm.

How can the greatest failure control Tianyu International, commanding the financial world?

All of this seems laughable to Duanmu Lanshan.

Fifteen years ago, Xiao Tianyu was only eight years old. His Dantian was destroyed, rewriting his life, his dignity trampled upon, ignored even by his own mother and father.

Yet today, fifteen years later, his return has made everyone in the Xiao Family unable to even look up to him.

Thinking back to that night a few days ago, when the mysterious young man arrived at the Xiao Family, though his true face couldn't be seen, it was already known that he was Xiao Yun. The Xiao Family's elder ancestor promised that if Xiao Tianyu returned to the Xiao Family, he would become the next Clan Leader and manage all of the Xiao Family's assets.

But now, thinking back, how laughable were the elder ancestor's words? Would Xiao Tianyu care about the position of Clan Leader of the Xiao Family? Would Xiao Tianyu care about all the assets under the Xiao Family's name?

In terms of status, Xiao Tianyu is the Executive Chairman of the Emperor Star Academy, commanding the entire Emperor Star Academy, unrivaled.

In terms of wealth, Xiao Tianyu is the legendary CEO of Tianyu International, dominating the financial world, unmatched.

Would Xiao Tianyu care about the mere assets of the Xiao Family? Would Xiao Tianyu care about the promises of the Xiao Family elder ancestor?

And, do they even deserve to decide Xiao Ziyan's future?

Now, taking advantage of Xiao Ziyan's sixteenth birthday to hold some martial arts recruitment, in the end, it's just a joke, nothing more.

As for Duanmu Lanshan now, her heart is bleeding.

Her body is trembling.

The person before her who commands the winds and clouds of the world was once her child she carried for ten months. Originally, with this child, the Xiao Family was destined to stand above all. But now, forcibly pushed to the opposite side, a son she cannot acknowledge, instead seen as an enemy.

Who is to blame for all this?

Crash~

Duanmu Lanshan's beautiful eyes stare at Xiao Tianyu, tears continuously falling. The guilt in her eyes is evident; however, can guilt make up for fifteen years of hatred?

"Yun'Er, it is your mother's fault. Can you give your mother a chance to properly make it up to you?" After a long pause, Duanmu Lanshan finally spoke.

The crowd below was also stunned. Although they were too far away to clearly hear what Duanmu Lanshan and Xiao Tianyu were saying, they could see the deep guilt in Duanmu Lanshan's eyes.

What kind of person could make a strong woman like Duanmu Lanshan so guilty?

"Make it up?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu laughed, the smile was cold. He continued, "Do you think it can be made up? Fifteen years ago, what were you all doing?"

Xiao Tianyu's voice lacked any emotion. Now that he, Xiao Tianyu, is alive and returned, does Duanmu Lanshan expect to make it up? Is that possible?

If fifteen years ago he, Xiao Tianyu, had died, would there still be talk of making it up today?

A single sentence cannot erase fifteen years of hatred. It's truly naive of Duanmu Lanshan.

"It's not like that... it's not like that..." Duanmu Lanshan shook her head desperately, "For fifteen years, I've always carried guilt for what happened fifteen years ago..."

"Silence!" Xiao Tianyu interrupted, "You have guilt? If you were guilty, there wouldn't be this martial arts recruitment today. If you were guilty, you wouldn't use Ziyan to cling to other Ancient Martial Clans!"

"I..."

"No words to say!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was icy, "In your eyes, are children just tools to be used? From now on, Ziyan has nothing to do with the Xiao Family. Her future is destined to be someone you can only look up to!"

Xiao Tianyu's words were like a sharp sword, piercing into Duanmu Lanshan's heart. Yet they left Duanmu Lanshan speechless.

"Hmph, unfilial child, do you have the right to blame us for everything?" Xiao Yuanshan suddenly shouted, "Days ago, if you hadn't killed the elder ancestor, would the Xiao Family end up like this, would the Xiao Family use Ziyan to consolidate its position? It's all your fault!"

Wow~

At these words, a chilling aura erupted from Xiao Tianyu. His gaze was sharp, cold as if carrying the Nine Nether Cold Domain, causing Xiao Yuanshan to shiver involuntarily.

"For fifteen years, it seems you haven't changed, always shirking responsibility!" Xiao Tianyu's voice was chilling, his aura enveloping Xiao Yuanshan.

Yet, Xiao Yuanshan still spoke, "Unfilial child, do you dare to commit such an outrageous act?"

Outrageous act?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu coldly chuckled, "Outrageous act, so what!"

As the words fell, Xiao Tianyu reached out towards Xiao Yuanshan. A massive Hand Seal covered everything, as if blotting out the sky and sun, terrifying to the extreme.

Moreover, an irresistible aura swept from Xiao Tianyu's side, forming a vortex of destruction.

Bewildered.

Witnessing this scene, the crowd below was completely bewildered. Was he about to act against Xiao Yuanshan? Even though Xiao Yuanshan was a Celestial Realm powerhouse, was he sure he could still fight?

Many were shocked in their hearts. Although they hadn't heard what Xiao Tianyu and Duanmu Lanshan were discussing, Xiao Tianyu daring to challenge a Celestial Realm powerhouse was already astonishing.

Feeling the overwhelming Hand Seal pressing down, Xiao Yuanshan's expression changed, turning pale and unsightly, for no other reason than sensing an intensely dangerous aura from this strike.

Even as a Celestial Realm powerhouse, Xiao Yuanshan would still be killed by this strike.

The various strong members of the Xiao Family watched this unfold, not daring to interfere, simply because Xiao Tianyu's aura was too powerful.

"Unfilial child, dare you kill me?" Xiao Yuanshan roared, his voice echoing for miles, piercing everyone's ears.

Unfilial child?

What does this mean?

Many didn't understand. Throughout history, the term "unfilial child" has always referred to offspring. Could it be that Xiao Tianyu was still of the Xiao Family bloodline?

If so, then why would he want to kill Xiao Yuanshan?

"No!" Duanmu Lanshan cried out, "He is your father, you cannot kill him!"

With that, Duanmu Lanshan rushed towards Xiao Tianyu, continually shouting, "If you kill him, it would be a heinous crime, you'd incur divine retribution!"

"Step aside!" Xiao Tianyu snorted.

As Duanmu Lanshan rushed forward, Xiao Tianyu waved his hand, a terrifying force directly sweeping Duanmu Lanshan away, causing her to crash to the ground, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
