Chapter two, Dash Livin' son in law su Ye. Look, you guys,
that su Ye. A year ago he was the sword chief of the
Blue and River sword Manner's outer sect, a rising celebrity. But then due
to some unexpected misfortune, he lost his entire cultivation and became the when family's
livened son in law. What a pity? What a pity about wen Wing's
how with that peerless elegance, She's gwangling cities uncontested number one beauty, yet
she had to marry a waste like him. A class had just ended.
When those exiting Pinnacloud sword Manners saw su Ye off in the distance, their
expressions changed, regardless of whether they were male or female. The sound of
conversation soon filled the air. A hint of resignation flashed across Suyi's face,
but at the same time he found it a bit funny. It had been
a long time since he'd enjoyed such treatment. He recalled his past life,
starting from antiquity and continuing to the modern day. Countless distinguished figures strove and
competed for power. The six great Taoist sects towered proudly looking down on the
mortal world. The three great demonic sects brought about war and turmoil. Buddhas
and gods commanded the wind and clouds, raising the curtain on a new world,
and dying the landscape red with blood. Yet one man reigned supreme as
the sole sovereign of the wilds, and his sword kept the nine provinces at
Bayfore one hundred and eight thousand years, only he Suzwanjen, had accomplished such
a feat. Those known as imperial experts stood at the pinnacle of destiny.
But no matter how lofty and proud they were, even they had to avert
their gazes and call him veneret. Sue Ye inwardly shook his head. If
those old Fijis from my past life saw this, I'm afraid they laughed so
hard their bellies would burst. The currantem was tall and thin, with handsome
features. He wore blue clothrobes and stood with his hands behind his back,
emanating an air of aloof leisurely in difference. But they're not entirely wrong either.
It's true right now, I am indeed rather pathetic. Sue Ye retracted
his gaze and sunk into silent contemplation. His current body hailed from the Great
Zoo's Eugen City, the Jade Capital. He was a member of the Sioux
family, but he was just the snug son of a concubine. When he
was five, his mother ye Eufe left this mortal coil. At fourteen,
he entered cloud Driver Prefectuous Blue River sword manor to cultivate. In just two
short years, he rose to prominence in a single bound, becoming the number
one disciple of the Outer Court, the Outer Sect sword Chief. But then
a sudden incident robbed him of his entire cultivation. Shortly after, under the
Jades Capital Sioux clan's forceful arrangements, he became the liven son in law of
the Wynn family, one of cloud Driver prefectures Gwangling cities, three great clans.
But then the past is the past and the present is the present.
It'd be obvious to any one that I'm no longer my former self. A
peculiar emotion surged through Suyi's heart, and an obscure, indescribable light coursed through
the depths of his eyes clang as if sensing Suyi's mood. The cold,
clear hum of a sword resounded within his mind. Then immediately fell silent.
It was a mysterious immortal sword. Its title nine Hells. It had nine
layers of divine chains shackling it. A year ago, the night before blew
a river sword Manner's trial of the Sword. Just as Suyi's cultivation broke into
the key accumulation realm, the illusory figure of the Sword of the Nine Hells
silent, they surfaced within his sea of consciousness. The price he paid for
this was his entire lifetime of cultivation. This was the true reason behind his
sudden fall from grace. In the year following his marriage into the Winn family,
su Yi spent day and night sensing the Sword of the Nine Hells within
his sea of consciousness in an attempt to unlock its secrets. Just three days
ago, during another attempt to connect with the Sword of the Nine Hells,
he surprisingly managed to release its first seal. In doing so, he saw
simultaneously reawaken in the memories of his past incarnation as Suzuanjen. He thought to
himself, it's as if I dreamed those seventeen years, and only now do
I realize who I truly am. There are stories of men waking after dreams
of grandeur. They must have felt much the same way. His current self
was only seventeen years old, in the prime of his youth, with all
the will and spirit of a young man. He perfectly resembled the Sun at
the beginning of its ascent, full of hope. Despite my current embarrassing predicament,
with the methods and experience of my past life changing, all this will
be no problem at all. Sue Ye stood with his hands behind his back,
and as his gaze shifted, he occasionally gave off a feeling that didn't
quite match his age, as if he'd experienced all the profundities and vicissitudes of
life already. It was the kind of common difference left behind after experiencing all
the ups and downs of worldly affairs. There's no rush. I reincarnated because
I wanted to break through the barriers I encountered in my past life's cultivation and
prove the supremacy of my sword. Today all is well in the world,
and I am still young. Sooner or later, I'll naturally return to the
nine provinces of the wilds, find those devils spawn, and saddle the debts
of my past life. Seen after seen of his past life silent. They
floated up into Suyi's mind. There was War, Emperor Paimo, Empress Ching
Tang, the Golden winged Great Peg, the Lavitating Sword Hall, the six
great Taoist sects. H M. Su Yi suddenly seemed to sense something.
He glanced over at the Pinnacloud Sword Manner's main gate. Classes had only just
ended, so young men and women's dreamed through the gates. The atmosphere was
bustling, and the students emanated the characteristic care of youth. But it was
then that the vibrant atmosphere sunk into utter silence. The crowd gathered by the
gates of the Pinnacloud Sword Manner parted, clearing a path. Beneath countless gazes,
A young woman stepped through the gate. She looked around fourteen or fifteen.
Her lustrous black hair flowed behind her, and her movingly beautiful eyes shone
with intelligence. Her skin was as snowy white as cream. She was a
full on beauty in the making. Her flowy blue dress was seemly and appropriate.
Beneath the sunset, her delicate and well proportioned figure glowed with hazy luster.
It was as if she were an immortal descending to Earth. Many of
the nearby youths were transfixed. Most of them were around fifteen years old,
just the right age to be fascinated with the opposite sex, yet too young
to have learned to conceal the longing and fire in their gazes. Some of
the more easily embarrassed young men lowered their heads. The girl's expressions were different.
Some were jealous or envious, while others were dejected. There was no
shortage of beauties among them, but compared to the girl in the Blue dress,
they were obviously lacking. They were like fire flies before the light of
the moon. They simply couldn't compete. Amidst the quiet, the girl in
the Blue Dress's gait was neither leisurely nor hurried. Her complexion was fair and
her features were exquisitely crafted. Her big eyes were clear, and her gaze
was penetrating. However, her expression was frigid, like an aloof Eisberg,
standing apart from the rest of the world, so cold that others dared not
approach her. When ling Zu, it had only been a year since she
entered the Pinnacloud sword manner, but every last instructor already saw her as a
stunning genius. She was well known as an icy beauty. She edgy Away.
The head of the Pinnacloud sword manner had once saw that she was bright
and pretty, as pure as the eye sent snow. She was like the
pearl of the Pinacloud sword manner. But in Suyi's eyes, this girl who
attracted attention wherever she went was Wemling's Hou's little sister as well as his little
sister in law. She's getting prettier and prettier. A hint of a smile
flashed across Suyi's face. In the years since his marriage into the Wen family,
practically every one had disdained and made fun of him, ridiculing him in
countless different ways. Only when Lingzu really treated him as her brother in law,
and she even regularly argued on his behalf brother in law. What's the
occasion when she saw Suye in the distance, when lynzus gemstone like eyes lit
up with delight and incomparable surprise. In an instant, her powdery lips curved
into a smile straight from the heart. It was a smile like a sudden
sunbeam. Her iceberg demeanor melted in an instant. Quite a few male students
were visibly dazed and their hearts pounded in their chests. So pretty some people
couldn't help but mutter she she actually smiled. Others were entranced. Some one
sighed, you might not believe me when I say this, but this is
the first time I've seen Pinnacloud sword Manner's number one beauty smile all year.
Many others chimed in their agreement when Lynsu's name contained the character for snow,
and they thought it suited her. Despite her beautiful appearance, her temperament was
icy and aloof despite studying under the same roof. Practically none of them had
seen her smile before. One of the girl's expressions was complicated, Uugh.
If I were as good looking as her, I wouldn't have spent a year
chasing senior apprentice brothers out to no avail. Even the girls had no choice
but to admit that, both in terms of appearance and temperament, when Lynx
put inexorable pressure on her female class mates with in Pinnacloud sword Manner, none
of the girls were willing to spend time with when Ling Zu unless it was
absolutely necessary. They only serve as a foil to further highlight when Lyingsu's shocking
beauty facing these varying gazes. When Lynsa changed her prior unhurried gait and dashed
right up to su Yi, the young men's pupils constracted. They seemed to
have a sudden realization. Did she did when Ling's just smile at that useless
waste? It seemed they didn't dare believe it. They looked at each other
as far as they knew. Although Suyi was when Lingsu's brother in law,
he was still just alive and son in law with that low, awkward status.
It wasn't just the major characters of the Wyn family that looked down on
him. Even the servants dared make fun of him. This was common knowledge
in Gwangling City two. Yet, when Lingsu's attitude towards su Yi was incomparably
affectionate, and she even let slip an uncharacteristic display of delight when she saw
him, anyone with functional eyes could see that when Lingsu was happy strange.
Something was strange about this. At first, the young men dared not believe
their eyes. When he saw her bright, beautiful smile, su Ye smiled
back, So is this how you act when you're in school? This was
the first time he'd come to meet Wen ling Zu after class. It was
also his first time seeing that icy aloof demeanor of hers. It was nothing
like his impression of her in the year following his marriage into the Wynn family.
She'd been vibrant and bright, cute and playful. There was nothing remotely
icy about her. If I don't act cold here, who knows how many
irritating guys will follow me around and pester m. It's way too irritating.
When Lynxu pressed her lips into a smile, her voice was crisp and sweet,
like the bubbling of spring water. Sue Ye instantly understood it was true
even by the standards of his previous life, when Lyingsu was a first class
little beauty, Once she grew up a bit more, she was sure to
be even more stunning. With that level of good looks, she was destined
to have no short of admirers. When Lnsu's gaze swept around her dazed class
mates, she suddenly fell to a little guilty and she pursed her lips in
vexation, muttering, it's all over a moment's joy, and I ruined the
cold image. I spent a whole year building up. It's all gone to
waste. But then she chortled and waved valiantly. Forget it, Who cares
what they think. It's fine so long as I'm happy. She affectionately linked
arms with sue Ye. Her face nothing but smiles. Let's go home,
brother in law. All right? Sue Ye smiled back and nodded. Then
the two of them left together. The gathered students watched their departure. The
area around Pinnacloud's sword manner fell silent. Who can explain why on earth?
Ling Zu is so affectionate to that waste? Spat a handsome youth through gnashed
teeth. Everyone looked at each other. They didn't understand either. He's alivened
son in law, the laughing stock of Gwangling City, and a waste who
lost his entire cultivation. It's bad enough that he married a beauty like wen
Lingshau, but now he's extending his poisonous reached towards her little sister. How
detestable. Many of the youths were indignant, and their hearts were full of
bitter envy. Even the girl struggled to understand it. They too thought it
strange when Lingzu was so proud, cold and beautiful. She wasn't just shockingly
beautiful either, even her cultivation was at the peak of the manner's current generation
of disciples. She how could she take a liking to someone like su Yi,
even if he was her brother in law? Rue were had it that
her sister, wen Ling's Howe hated nothing more than her worthless husband. Meanwhile,
on their way home, wen Lyns batted her bright eyes and asked,
curiously, brother in law, you've never liked leaving the house, Why did
you come meet me at the gate to day of all days? The young
woman was bright and pure. Her delicate, graceful figure was vibrant and full
of youthfulness. Your big sisters come back, said Sue Ye. He spoke
casually, but hints of inexplicable emotion rose within his heart. Wen Lyns's beautiful
eyes lit up with delight. Big sister, she she's finally willing to come
home. A year ago, on Wenling's Howe and Sue Yee's wedding night,
wen Wing's how had disappeared without warning and headed to the cloud driver prefectural capital
to cultivate at Blue a River sword manor every one thought that this was Wenling's
How's way of expressing her displeasure and resentment over her marriage, even when Lyings
knew that her big sister loathed and rejected this marriage arrangement and that she'd never
accepted su Yi as her husband. Yet now one year later, wem Wing's
Howe had returned Seth's thoughts. Seth again, feel free to skip this as
it's not needed to understand the story. But here's a quick cultural note for
those curious. The concept of a livened son in law doesn't really exist in
the West. If you're curious to know more, or if you're struggling to
understand why the supporting caste are so disdainful about it, here's a brief overview.
I can't speak to modern Chinese marriages, but in ancient China, daughters
traditionally married into the husband's family, essentially leaving their family of origin behind to
join his. This often meant living in his uncessany stroll home and taking care
of her new in laws, especially if her husband was an eldest son.
Husbands marrying into their wives families instead was not unheard of, but it was
an inversion of gender roles with all the stigma that often entails. Furthermore,
since taking on aliven son in law was most common of wealthy families with daughters
but no sons, the perception was that such husbands were burdens or miwokers,
living off a woman instead of supporting their family the way a man should.
Any children born under such an arrangement would take on their mother's surname. In
colloquial Chinese, the character used to describe such men as taken on the additional
meaning of burden or pointless. That's arguably the more common use of the character now
