Chapter 46: The Secret of the Seven Families (Part 2)

  "Let's talk about your last fiancé," Min Ye continued, "Because you did many interesting things when you first entered the academy, such as getting into fights, I had someone investigate you. At the age of six, you became a disciple of Array Xuan, a hermit on Zhongye Mountain. After becoming a disciple, in battles, except for losing to one person, you never failed."

  I was completely stunned: "You... what are you trying to say?"

  "It's already obvious, isn't it? The first opponent you faced after becoming a disciple, and the only one who defeated you, is your last fiancé. Ah, I forgot, that person is also your junior brother. Array Xuan originally only accepted one disciple, but because that person was a rare talent for learning martial arts, he made an exception and accepted him as well," Min Ye said, pausing before spitting out the name that I hadn't heard in years: "Guan Yue... Yu He."

  My mind had already gone blank... I really never thought that the young man would be the heir of one of the seven families, Guan Yue! Really, when I first saw him, Master had picked him up from the muddy road on the back mountain. At that time, he was covered in dirt and looked like a poor orphan, how could I have imagined that he was the heir of the Guan Yue family?

  Although when I helped him wash his body clean (Author's note: everyone please don't mind, that little tea was only a few years old, where would he know about the differences between men and women? Moreover, she was originally just a rough nerve), I discovered that his skin was very good... uh... and that person always had a faintly cold expression, no matter what he was doing... whether it was practicing martial arts, eating, reading... I estimate that even when he was taking a dump, he could still sit there with a faintly cold expression.

  Especially one time, he was standing on a tree stump, being punished by Master (because of some tea's mischief, causing someone who was originally obedient to also be punished). That day happened to be near the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the moon in the sky was very big and beautiful. He just stood there faintly, looking at the moon in the sky... for a moment... I suddenly felt that the young man in front of me didn't belong to this world, didn't belong here...

  Guan Yue... Yu He... after becoming a disciple, the first person, also the only person who defeated me.

  I learned martial arts to protect something. And he, without any reason... just for the sake of learning, just for the sake of practicing martial arts. Clearly, he was someone without any motivation, yet he could become so strong; clearly, he didn't have anything that could give him any sense of purpose, yet he could... be so strong...

  "So, now you tell me, what's the benefit of knowing the future heir of the seven families for me? What does it have to do with the student being attacked, and what does it have to do with everything that happened today?" I slightly furrowed my brow, looking at Min Ye, the IVNA first-class student council member who was smiling harmlessly across from me.
