Cracking sounds were heard one after another, starting with the sound of objects being thrown against the wall and slamming onto the floor, the sound of anger and scream clearly audible.
maids and maids just stood in front of the door no one dared to enter and stop their master's anger afraid their master would take his anger out on them so they better pretend not to know.
Meanwhile, in the room Wei Zu Tian had ransacked his entire room as anger piled up like a deep current of water, he hated how he was forced to flee like a rabid dog in front of Zhao Li Xin, he hated to admit that he would die at the hands of Zhao Li Xin if he insists on keep on fighting Zhao Li Xin.
Wei Zu Tian has a severe narcissistic personality so he thought his ability and standing above everyone would never have imagined he would fall to his knees in front of Zhao Li Xin when he thought all his plans were going well.
Wei Zu tian didn't know how he could go wrong, he had planned to kidnap Shin Jiu to force Long Ming's tightly protected wife to voluntarily follow their will, he also used Xiao Bo Jie to stir up the Liang Zu kingdom even though the Xiao clan's power had Much less since empress Ming's reign but Xiao Clan has many families especially their children who work in the Liang Zu inner court so it shouldn't be difficult for Xiao Bo Jie to overthrow the power of empress Ming who is still young but who would have thought Yuan Shao who is the new tribes King from the continent Zhuang Dong came to help Empress Ming.
Farthermore what is the problem with Yang Qiou Xi? Wei Zu Tian's goal is only to break the relationship between Zhao Li Xin and Luo Ri Yi even though in the end if Zhao Li Xin accidentally marries Yang Qiou Xi he knows Zhao Li Xin will annul her marriage to Yang Qiou Xi in a heartbeat and maybe even punishing the entire Yang clan. With a fiery temper like Zhao Li Xin is not impossible for Zhao Li Xin to kill Yang Qiou Xi as well as the entire Yang family which will eventually break the friendship between Jiu Yun sect and Hei Shen sect but who would have thought that plan was in vain.
And what made Wei Zu Tian even more angry was the fact that he had been tricked from the start by Zhao Li Xin, even the coercion on Long Ming's wife was part of Zhao Li Xin's plan and the reason why Zhao Li Xin let him take his wife was that Long Ming's wife was not a weak woman like what he thought.
Not only did she manage to find the secret door to the dungeon but she was also able to survive in that place filled with various kinds of horrible creatures created by Lao Min Na.
As a result, all of his carefully planned plans came crashing down and now everyone was laughing at his pathetic defeat. Even the people in Hevane's Gate Sect themselves secretly laughed at him and partially criticized his stupidity for being toyed with by Zhao Li Xin, for an arrogant person like Wei Zu Tian this was a huge blow to his confidence.
suddenly the door opened and a beautiful woman in a large purple hanfu entered the room, the woman was actually in her mid-forties but because she was a cultivator and she took good care of herself, she looked to be in her mid-twenties instead.
That woman was Duan Shu Shu, she is Wei Zu Tian's birth mother. Duan Shu Shu had a sharp nose, cherry-shaped lips, and phoenix eyes shape, obviously, she was extremely beautiful and everything about her exuded a cold and distant noble aura.
"What are you doing?" Duan Shu Shu looked at Wei Zu Tian with a cold gaze, under his mother's intimidating eyes the usual arrogant and unruly Wei Zu Tian suddenly cowered while lowering his head in shame.
Accompanied by her two servants Duan Shu Shu entered the room which had been torn apart by Wei Zu Tian with acalm pace, she remain indifferent to the chaos inside the room, meanwhile, her maid fix the chair and table then wipe everything clean before they help Duan Shu Shu to sit.
See Wei Zu Tian's messy appearance Duan Shu Shu scoffed in disgust "You have lost miserably yet instead of thinking about how to resolve this matter, you vent your anger like a child, ever since you became a useless child like this" Duan Shu Shu gives him a deprecating look.
Wei Zu Tian didn't dare say it back as he can only swallow down his anger, in this world, there was no one he loved and hated more than his own mother.
Since the beginning, the relationship between Wei Zu Tian and Duan Shu Shu was always been complicated, from the outside, the relationship between Duan Shu Shu and Wei Zu Tian cannot be more closer, despite Wei Zu Tian unruly attitude and fierce temper he very filial to his mother, Wei Zu Tian is an obedient child since he was young he will follow whatever Duan Shu Shu said without fail.
Duan Shu Shu is also known as a very loving and caring mother, she is also very protective, according to rumors circulating Duan Shu Shu is difficult to have children, fortunately, one day she managed to get pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl but unfortunately, because of the evil plan of one of the wives of her husband, Duan Shu Shu lost her baby daughter who was not even one month old at the time, as a result, Duan Shu Shu was bedridden for months due to deep sorrow, even thoughts the perpetrator who killed her baby was sentenced to death by her husband and the elder of Heaven's gate sect Duan Shu Shu still unreconciled by her baby death thus she locked herself in her courtyard for a year until she finally got pregnant with Wei Zu Tian.
From the story, it was natural that Duan Shu Shu loved Wei Zu Tian with all her heart.
Yet no one would have thought that the real reality couldn't be more different. What actually happened was that when Duan Shu Shu gave birth to a baby girl, no one know Duan Shu Shu actually felt very disappointed especially when she found out that baby girls were born with a weak heart that makes the baby tend to be more fragile than normal baby.
Duan Shu Shu didn't want to waste her time raising a weak and sickly daughter but she also couldn't just kill her own child without raising other people suspicion especially when she had so many enemies inside the Heaven's Gate sect, coincidently at that time his husband just had a new wife who was also his favorite at the time, Duan Shu Shu didn't like the woman simply because that woman was younger and prettier than her that's why Duan Shu Shu used her newborn baby death to frame his husband's favorite concubine and at the same time kill her own feeble child.
As a result of this, her husband punished his innocent concubine, and later he felt guilty for Duan Shu Shu lost, to eased Duan Shu Shu grieved he devoted all his attention to Duan Shu Shu and spoiled her more than his other wives, and just like that Duan Shu shu used this opportunity to expand her influence and get rid off all her enemy inside and outside Heaven's Gate sect and become number one mistress of the most powerful sects in Hwang Wu continent.
Duan Shu Shu was born as a true psychopath, since she was a child Duan Shu Shu lack of empathy, she finds it hard to be in touch with other humans feeling, like compassion, caring, and loving, not only to others but also her own family like her parents, but no one notices her behavior because Duan Shu is very manipulative and she had learned how to act in a certain situation by observing other people behavior.
few people know how ruthless Duan Shu Shu was behind closed doors, even though she never actually hits Wei Zu Tian however she used to abuse Wei Zu Tian mentally, she constantly humiliated and degraded him since he was a child, Duan Shu Shu repeatedly said how stupid and useless he was, when Wei Zu Tian fall or injured himself from training or simply playing she will berate him telling him how weak and slow he was that she wishes she never gave birth to him, actually at that time Wei Zu Tian was one of the most talented children in the Heaven Gate sect, he was smart, cunning and physically strong sadly that was not enough for Duan Shu Shu because her son cannot be one of the best cause he should be the best.
When Wei Zu Tian is overwhelmed by excessive pressure, stressed and on a brink of madness, suddenly Duan Shu Shu behavior will change one-eighty, somehow she will become gentle, kind, and caring, she will hold him tight and rub his head dotingly while encouraging him by saying said that his flaw was a trait he inherited from his father, that's why it wasn't his fault as long he listened to her and only her that perhaps one day he will overcome all of his flaws and become his perfect son.
Hence day after day Duan Shu Shu manipulated Wei Zu Tian, she changes his view and corrupts him bit by bit until he became what he is today.
"Don't sit on the floor, you look like a dog" the hatred in his voice couldn't be clearer, but for Wei Zu tian these condescending comments were such a part of his daily life that he was already immune to it.
In silence Wei Zu Tian got up from the floor he fixed his robe and hair, he lifted his chin arrogantly as if he had reclaimed his charm then he sat down while the maid served him wine then cleaned his room while Duan Shu Shu and Wei Zu Tian continued their conversation.
Duan Shu Shu was slightly satisfied after Wei Zu Tian managed to calm down, she sized up Wei Zu Tian and took a deep sigh, Duan Shu Shu thought her son would be perfect if only he wasn't so drama queen.
"I heard that you have been played by Zhao Li Xin to the tee" the corners of Duan Shu Shu's cherry lips lifted as she mocked her son's foolishness.
Wei Zu Tian knitted his brows, he didn't deny or admit it then he took a sip of his wine with a sour face.
Duan Shu Shu ignored Wei Zu Tian's foul expression as she continued without care, "In my opinion, your biggest mistake was that you underestimated Long Ming's wife, Luo Ri Yi"
Wei Zu Tian realized this so he became silent, he continued to stare at his wine cup, he wonder if Zhao Li Xin and Lory reunited by now all of a sudden their happy face flashed in his mind and it feel like knifes dug into his heart.
"You are so stupid to think someone like Long Ming would ever fall in love with an ordinary woman.."
"He's not in love with her!" Wei Zu Tian interrupted.
Duan Shu Shu frowned, she narrowed his eyes at Wei Zu Tian dangerously. Wei Zu Tian pressed his lips into a thin line, he knew he had angered his mother but he was too stubborn to accept the truth even though it was so obvious.
