There are three sons in the Chen family, the elder son is Chen Jin, the second son is Chen Guang, and the third son is Chen Mo.

    Chen Jin and Chen Guang have always been more exposed to the outside world, so they have more acquaintances. As for Chen Mo, he was bullied by his two elder brothers since childhood and was even forced not to leave the house to save their face.

    Thus, Chen Mo, the third young master of the Chen family, became known to few people. However, there were still some who had sharp eyes and recognized him.

    "I am Zhao Hu from Yong'an County, and I have met the Third Young Master."

    A man in his early twenties, wearing a deep blue official robe, sheathed his long knife, bowed respectfully with his fists.

    Zhao Hu was merely a minor captain, not of high rank, but he had once entered the Chen mansion to resolve a case and had seen Chen Mo once.

    "Zhao Hu?"

    "This name sounds familiar, but Chen Mo can't quite recall it at the moment."

    "The Third Young Master"

    Amid the crowd, Xu Cheng's figure hurriedly approached, sensing that his chances were running out. Chen Mo quickly said, "Give me one moment of your time."

    After saying that, Chen Mo turned and ran towards Liu WuXin's caravan.

    Zhao Hu and his group of subordinates looked at each other in confusion. It was normal that strangers could not approach the carriage while it was moving, but Chen Mo, being the third son of Chen Dewang, the Deputy Grand Master of the Ministry of Justice, they dared not refuse.

    Moreover, one moment is not much time.

    Chen Mo's right hand grasped the prison carriage's rail, his head was a bit dizzy due to the injury he had suffered, and he could feel a wetness on his forehead. It seemed that his head might have been split open.

    "I know you don't believe me, but I still have to say that I will definitely save you. When that time comes, can you please tell me your name…"

    The time is short, and that's all Chen Mo can say.

    Li WuXin's body, which was as stiff as a puppet, moved slightly, his little head turned, and his eyes with the strange color suddenly contracted.

    The midday sun shines on the land of the capital, and the cold prison carriage, because of the blocking of the cage, inside is dark. Liu WuXin in the carriage is like in the dark.

    Although the sunlight is dazzling, in her eyes, she sees a world of darkness. Yet, it is the young man under the sun who is oozing blood from his head, but manages to squeeze out a warm smile on his face.

    Among the grayish crowd, only he had a touch of color in that instant.

    "Third Young Master, it's impossible to follow anymore. If I do so, it will be very difficult for me."

    Zhao Hu stepped forward, his expression one of distress.

    "I don't want to see her being pelted with stones again. You should know what to do."

    The carriage moved further away, Chen Mo also calmed his smile on his face and spoke in a deep voice.

    "The young one knows."

    Zhao Hu was taken aback for a moment, but in the end, he agreed by bowing.

    The soldiers left and the caravan departed, and a large portion of the crowd behind them dispersed. At this time, Xu Cheng also caught up.

    "Third Young Master, your head…"

    Xu Cheng's face was full of horror. This troublesome person, is he asking for death again?

    "It's not a problem, just a superficial wound."

    Chen Mo gently waved his hand. Although it was painful, compared to his experiences with Liu WuXin, it seemed like nothing much.

    Xu Cheng was still worried about Chen Mo's safety and quickly called a few of his household servants to treat his wounds.

    The injury was not serious, just as Chen Mo said, it was a superficial wound, and bandages could be used to cover it up.

    The wound was bandaged, and he was directly taken to the carriage to return to the mansion.

    Chen Mo didn't have time to rest. As soon as he returned to the manor, he went to see his stepfather.

    Chen Dewang had many informants in the capital, and as soon as Chen Mo had awakened his waster spiritual vein, he received the news in the first instance.

    He had already known about what had happened on the way back, why Chen Mo was injured, and how serious the injury was.

    When he saw Chen Mo's head that had been split open, Chen Dewang did not show any surprise, nor did he send any concerned inquiries.

    The Chen family has three sons, the eldest son Chen Jin studies literature, he is twenty-four years old and passed the preliminary examination. Although he is not as outstanding as other noble families' sons, at least he has won a title.

    The second son, Chen Guang, studies martial arts and has a low talent. At twenty years old, he is just a nine-level martial artist.

    The martial arts realm, the highest level is first class, and the lowest level is ninth class. Generally, after the age of sixteen when one opens the spiritual vein, they can enter the path.

    After entering the path, with slight cultivation, one can become a ninth-level martial artist.

    However, due to Chen Guang's poor talent, it took him four years to become a ninth-level martial artist.

    At least, he has become a martial artist, which does not disgrace the Chen family.

    But Chen Mo, since childhood, did not make much progress in his studies and was kicked out by the scholar. Afterward, he pursued the martial arts path, and now has awakened a waste spiritual vein, which means he will have no chance to pursue the path of cultivation in this life.

    Compared to his two sons, this third son, who is not good at studies and does not excel in martial arts, is really a disgrace to the Chen family if he has not even touched the threshold.

    Chen Dewang, who had long been indifferent to Chen Mo, became even more displeased upon learning that Chen Mo had a waste spiritual vein. His expression cold and harsh, he said: "Have you returned?"

    Chen Mo looked up and glanced at this stepfather of his. In his memory, Chen Dewang was a strict father, who rarely spoke and was seldom seen.

    Only when he made mistakes would this stepfather appear.

    Therefore, in his previous life, he had both respect and fear for this stepfather.

    But Chen Mo looked down on this adoptive father with a face full of disdain, almost looking down upon him. In his memory, when Ye Liangchen annihilated the Chen family, Chen Dewang deserted his sons and fled alone.

    Later, he was caught by Ye Liangchen and just when Chen Mo returned from the outside of the manor, Chen Dewan had no hesitation in using this third son to protect himself.

    In the end, both father and son were killed on the spot.

    "Um."

    Chen Mo responded indifferently, "Yes."

    That's it?

    Hearing this, Chen Dewang's anger surged, he slammed his hand on the table and shouted furiously, "Chen Mo, do you know your crime?"

    Xu Cheng, who was following behind Chen Mo, saw the situation and intelligently retreated to the side.

    "I don't know."

    Chen Mo's tone was flat, and in the face of Chen Dewang's questioning, there was no sign of confusion. This left the latter quite startled.

    Normally, this third son sees himself when he sees me and acts like a mouse seeing a cat. How can he be so different today?

    It seems that the reports from the servants are correct.

    "Chen Mo, how dare you be so brazen as to beat your elder brother in the street? Do you still not know your fault?"

    "I don't know."

    Chen Mo remained indifferent as usual.

    Chen Dewang repressed his anger and tightly grasped the corner of the table with his right hand, "Give me a reason."

    "I did indeed beat my elder brother in public, but he insulted and humiliated me and my mother in front of everyone, so I beat him, it's only natural."

    "Good a natural law, even if he insults you again, what does that matter, he is your elder brother, he insults you because he wants to see you improve yourself. And what did you do, beat him instead of being grateful? Natural law? Who taught you this natural law"

    Insulting me for my own good? Then isn't insulting your entire family also for your good... Wait, isn't your whole family also my whole family?

    Chen Mo muttered to himself in his heart.

    Xu Cheng watched with great interest, earlier when Chen Mo demanded that he kneel before the crowd, he felt both shame and anger. Now seeing the other party getting humbled, he was naturally overjoyed in his heart.

    You're so brash, why don't you be as rebellious in front of your father and show me?
