Chapter 123 Can You Be Fairer to Me
Chapter 123 Can You Treat Me Fairly?
Cheng Dajun felt quite helpless and slowed down his tone: "Jiu He, you and Jiu Nian are brothers, you should be united. When brothers share the same purpose, their strength can cut through metal, after we pass away, you will have to rely on each other with brothers Jiu Nian and Jiu Yi. Acting so defensively against your own brothers, what does that look like?"
Cheng Jiuhe raised his head to look into his father’s eyes: "The cost of unity with them is that what’s mine is theirs, and what’s theirs is also theirs?
My mother left me things, my maternal grandfather left me good things, whenever the two brothers took a fancy to them, they’d demand openly and take them secretly, what hasn’t been snatched away?
Now I have only this courtyard left, and they’re using the excuse of marriage to take it away.
Dad, you’re also my father, can’t you treat me a bit more fairly?"
Cheng Dajun was taken aback in his heart: Fair, was he unfair to this son? It seemed, truly a bit.
"Moreover, which cultivation family doesn’t focus resources on those with high potential, but what about our family?
Jiu Nian and Jiu Yi couldn’t break through to Level 4 Martial Artist even at the age of twenty, and the family’s money was used to buy them Yuan Nourishing Pills.
But me, breaking through to Level 6 Martial Artist at twenty, stuck at Level 6 for five years without being able to break through, yet I didn’t receive a single Yuan Nourishing Pill.
Dad, do you think, with such differential treatment, how can I unite with them properly?"
Cheng Dajun felt a little embarrassed. Although the Cheng Family was not a Martial Arts Family, Cheng Jiuhe was still second generation of cultivators.
Cheng Jiuhe had exceptional potential and cultivated quickly, breaking through to Level 6 Martial Artist at the age of twenty. But after reaching Level 6 Martial Artist, his cultivation had stagnated, and for five years, he did not achieve another breakthrough.
Those who practice martial arts all know that the late Postnatal Seventh Layer is a bottleneck, and it was impossible to break through to the Seventh Layer without a Yuan Nourishing Pill.
Thus, he had mentioned to his father, hoping the family would help him buy a Yuan Nourishing Pill to aid his breakthrough.
After hearing his request, his father was silent for a while, only replying that he’d consider it.
He thought that he should be able to receive the Yuan Nourishing Pill, but the next day, his father told him the family didn’t have much money left, they temporarily couldn’t buy the Yuan Nourishing Pill for him, they would help him buy it once the family’s finances loosened.
He was clearly shocked: How could the family possibly not have the money to buy a Yuan Nourishing Pill?
His two younger brothers weren’t cut out for martial arts; they couldn’t break through to the Postnatal Fourth Layer after reaching the Postnatal Third Layer. Because from the third to the fourth layer was a barrier, that marked the transition from Beginner Martial Artist to intermediate martial artist.
Last year, the family bought each of them a Yuan Nourishing Pill, and the twenty-year-old Cheng Jiuyi broke through to the Postnatal Fourth Layer. However, twenty-four-year-old Cheng Jiunian, despite taking the Yuan Nourishing Pill, was still stuck at Martial Artist Level 3.
In the end, the family bought another Yuan Nourishing Pill for him, and after taking the second pill, he finally broke through to Level 4 Martial Artist.
Cheng Dajun also knew about the incident of buying Yuan Nourishing Pills for his two sons last year. Both his second and youngest sons used Yuan Nourishing Pills, only his eldest son didn’t use one, and came to him only when trying to break through the late-stages of being a Martial Artist, but he couldn’t provide him with one, and that made him feel uneasy.
However, his wife also had her reasoning; at the age of Cheng Jiuhe, it was already rare to break through to Level 5, let alone Level 6, it might be better to let him cultivate on his own for a few more years.
Anyway, with his talent, maybe he would break through after a few more years of cultivation.
The family didn’t have a lot of money, buying a single Yuan Nourishing Pill could cost up to eighty thousand, even a hundred thousand, the cost should be avoided if possible.
Due to Xiao Yuhua’s words, Cheng Jiuhe thus missed out on the Yuan Nourishing Pill.
Because of his father’s unfairness, since then, he had grown colder toward his father. He would stay in the military camp whenever possible, definitely not returning to the Cheng Family. If it were not for Gu Dongxing entrusting him to take care of Mengyu, he wouldn’t even think of taking leave!
