"I have always shown you care and affection."

"These matters, you have never mentioned a word!"

"Although one should not air family scandals, today, since you have returned,

there are some things that should be clarified, to resolve my confusion of many years."

"You are one year younger than Qifeng. At that time, he was eight, and you were seven."

"It was also that year that I gave each of you a gift."

"Both of you treasured it like a precious gem, unable to let go of it."

"But unexpectedly, the object suddenly disappeared overnight."

"Do you remember this matter?"

"..."

Wei Qixiong frowned slightly, "How could I keep such old affairs in my mind?"

"Yes, things that have passed rarely stay in your heart.

"I still remember the little dog your older brother used to raise, barely the size of two palms, only a few months old.

"It happened to be teething, and you teased it, getting bitten in the process.

"You then smashed it to death, something you probably don't remember either."

"Just a little animal, so what if it's dead?"

Wei Qixiong tightly furrowed his brow, "But this incident, I do remember. My brother cried like a weeping willow, wanting me to pay for the life of his dog.

"We fought over it but neither of us knew martial arts at the time.

"Children fighting, rolling around covered in mud."

"The incident caught Housekeeper Huang's attention, who later brought you over.

"In the end, you locked me in a room, forbidding me from leaving for three whole months, to reflect on my actions."

"Both were children fighting, yet you punished only me, not my brother.

"For a mere little beast, you lost your temper so much.

"You truly are a good father to me, an even-handed fine parent."

Listening to his words, Wei Ruhan's gaze no longer showed doubt, only a long sigh of increased disappointment:

"To this day, you still don't understand...

"Let's talk about your respective reactions after that thing went missing.

"Your brother was understandably upset, losing what was dear to his heart and began investigating, but it didn't stir much commotion.

"While you... you assumed it was stolen by someone under you.

"You gathered several servants, beating people around you, employing harsh interrogations.

"Had I not intervened you might have beaten them to death.

"And that year... you were just seven!

"A seven-year-old child, even if suspicions arise, doubting the people around, why resort to such viciousness!?"

"Ridiculous!"

Wei Qixiong flared up, "As servants, if they steal from me, they deserve to be beaten to death. What wrong have I done in this matter?

"And let alone I am the second son of the Luofeng Alliance.

"Even in any prominent family in Luoxia City, should servants dare to steal, they too should be beaten to death.

"The matter is not about whether they stole or not.

"But such behavior cannot be allowed to grow!

"Only thus can deter others, make those with ill intentions stay vigilant, and not dare to repeat."

"If I back then did nothing, allowing you to beat them to death,

"how innocent would they be?

"The items weren't even stolen by them, you killed a chicken to scare the monkeys, did you ever think of their plight?"

"A life of little worth, not worth mentioning!"

Wei Qixiong gently shook his head, "Those who achieve great things don't worry about small matters, what is human life worth in this world?"

The discussion reached this point; there was no need to speak further.

Before today's meeting, Wei Ruhan had previously spoken.

Regardless of who assumes the position of Alliance Leader of the Luofeng Alliance, remember these four words... "Put people first."

Through this exchange, Wei Qixiong's temperament was fully exposed.

Yet Wei Ruhan did not stop speaking and continued:

"That's why I didn't teach you martial arts but focused on your literary studies.

"It wasn't to suppress you, to prevent you from competing with your brother.

"But to use the teachings of the sages to educate you.

"To let you discern right from wrong, distinguish good and evil, recognize good and bad, know virtue and vice.

"Your suspicious and ruthless nature should have been tempered by the teachings of the sages.

"Only then, could you learn martial arts and not waste your talents.

"Otherwise, no matter how high your martial arts skills, no matter how great your power, you would still invite catastrophe.

"Ultimately falling into a dead end.

"I never thought you found another opportunity.

"Always keeping it from me…

"If not for that year at my birthday celebration, someone coming to provoke trouble.

"Your brother couldn't resist, others ridiculed me as having no sons, only then did you step out to display the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Plate's Divine Skill.

"Otherwise, until the end, you would have never told me, would you?

"It was my failure to see, till you harbored resentment, leading to the wrong path."

"So... after I argued with my brother again that year, when I went to the Ten Thousand Mile Ice Field to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Plate.

"Father, did you take this opportunity to have someone at the critical moment of my exercise, suddenly take lethal action, intending to leave me on that ice field forever?"

Wei Qixiong suddenly said something shocking.

Upon his words, the whole room was stunned.

"What?"

"Wei Ruhan wanted to kill Wei Qixiong?"

"No wonder he returned today so aggressively."

"The mask's been torn off... the moves are fierce, so he came back for revenge."

"Not just for revenge, he's also after the Alliance Leader's position!"

The crowd became embroiled in discussions.

Wei Ziyi also looked surprised at Wei Ruhan.

These words were indeed surprising.

But Wei Ruhan cast his gaze at the person standing next to Wei Qixiong, seeming somewhat enlightened and slightly regretful, gently shaking his head:

"So, you survived the catastrophe and colluded with others.

"First, you killed your brother by the Heng River.

"Then you plotted against your younger brother?

"Just to make me... have no successors, so when this position of Alliance Leader is transferred, it would have to go to you?"

With this, the hall fell silent.

Only Wei Qixiong's low voice said:

"The position of Alliance Leader was meant for me.

"My brother... he deserved to die.

"As for my younger brother, his life was foolish, living was a waste of food.

"Rather than muddling through life, it's better to reach Nirvana early.

"In the next life, perhaps he could be a hero."
