Chapter 997: Lu Bing, Lu Xiu, Younger Siblings? Aren't These Just Two Useless Freaks |
.......
Lu Teng shouted loudly from the other side of the water curtain light mirror: "But we were victims too, we didn't want to abandon you either!!!!"
Lu Ding spoke with fury, taking on both of them at once: "Suffering is suffering. Suffering has no comparison, suffering has no hierarchy. Suffering deserves to be remembered. Your suffering was caused by others, it has nothing to do with me. But my suffering was caused by you!!!!"
"If you want to find someone, go find the source of your suffering. And you are the source of my suffering!!!!"
"Whether you forgive the people who caused your suffering is none of my business. Forgiveness can be magnanimous, but not forgiving is absolutely justified. But I!!!!"
"Will absolutely never forgive you who caused my suffering!!!!"
"This is my right as a victim!!!!"
"Do you understand!!!!?"
"Speak!!!!!"
He didn't like to use his brain often, because he would unconsciously lose control and let his thoughts scatter everywhere, thinking about too many things, which was annoying.
But that didn't mean he couldn't think or defend his own rights.
Patience and concession were safety measures for the fortunate. For the unfortunate, they were signs of cowardice.
And reality wasn't like a TV drama, where things were deliberately dragged out and misunderstandings were never spoken aloud.
So Lu Teng directly stated the reason: "Back then, I went into mortal cultivation without permission. Falling in love with your mother was unexpected. Having you was an outcome I never anticipated."
"If back then, I had been forcibly summoned and brought you back, you might have been settled accounts with, you might have died!!!!"
"So we left you in the Third Circle of Great Han, hoping for a slim chance of survival!!!!"
"And I and your mother chose to face it together!!"
"Is that wrong!!!!?"
At this point in the story, the person being interrogated usually wouldn't know how to respond.
To that, Lu Ding could only say that those who hadn't experienced the same pain naturally couldn't find a sharp angle to fight back.
"So that's your problem. What does it have to do with me? Since I was an outcome you never anticipated, why didn't you just abort me?"
"Don't give me that 'crystal of love' crap. Your crystal of love came at the cost of my suffering. Does that do me justice!?"
"Easier said than done. 'Might have died,' 'facing it together,' 'a slim chance of survival'—then why aren't you dead now? Why are you still alive!!?"
"You made your own mistakes. You did it without permission. I don't care if it was love that grew over time or lust at first sight. That's your own business, the consequences you should bear. I'm innocent. I shouldn't have to bear this consequence. And now you're asking if you're wrong!!?"
"If you're going to go into mortal cultivation, then do it properly. Experience ordinary life, then experience it properly. But no, you had to drag feelings into it, and then you couldn't even handle the fallout. Tell me, are you wrong or not? You're nothing but a failure. Do you even deserve to be called my father? You have the ability to create messes you can't clean up and make others bear the consequences, but you don't have the means to handle everything yourself. In short, you're a loser, understand!!?"
"As for whether you're wrong, I can't make a full judgment. But as long as I'm here, you can absolutely never be right!!!!"
Lu Ding's roar made the other side fall silent.
Lu Teng realized that no matter what he said, he couldn't win against this son. Not only that, the other could silence him completely, even making him doubt in his heart whether he really was a failure.
With his current status, achievements, and strength, in the eyes of outsiders, he couldn't have been more successful.
But the moment Lu Ding spoke, Lu Teng's aura actually began to show signs of instability.
Fortunately, though.
A voice rang out.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing?"
In an instant, Lu Teng and Luo Qingshi's expressions turned extremely complicated.
The sound of footsteps approached from far away.
Lu Ding's applause sounded.
"Clap... clap... clap..."
"Good, good, good. Touching yourselves with all that talk, as if the situation back then was so dangerous. And yet you still had more children. Hmm... judging by the footsteps, it sounds like two people."
The couple began to feel guilty.
Lu Teng directly said: "Bing'er, go out. Mom and Dad are handling important matters."
But Lu Bing, who had been spoiled by him, wasn't someone who could be chased away with just one sentence. The more she was told not to come over, the more she wanted to.
Bringing her younger brother Lu Xiu along, Lu Teng didn't know how to stop her or what to say for a moment.
Lu Ding didn't know he had a younger sister and brother. Lu Bing and Lu Xiu also didn't know that they had an older brother with the same parents whom they had never met.
Until the two of them burst into the shot.
Luo Qingshi was quietly crying, Lu Teng was sighing.
Lu Bing's voice rang out: "Mom, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
Lu Ding curled his lips: "I scolded her. She cried because of my scolding. Of course, it could also be that she couldn't handle the psychological pressure and chose to cry to vent her emotions."
Faced with this almost provocative statement, Lu Bing instantly frowned and her face turned cold.
Before she could speak.
A handsome face appeared in the frame. There were similarities with Lu Ding's features, but overall, they were at two extremes.
Lu Xiu asked: "Who are you!? What gives you the right to scold my mom!?"
Lu Bing's voice followed: "I don't care who you are. You must apologize to my mother."
Lu Ding didn't respond to her words. He abruptly asked: "What realms are you two at?"
Although the two didn't understand what he meant.
They didn't hide it, after all, this wasn't worth hiding. In fact, it was even something to be proud of.
Lu Xiu: "Seventh level of God Ascension!"
Lu Bing: "Ninth level of God Ascension!"
Lu Ding nodded: "How old are you?"
The siblings exchanged a glance, completely confused about what was going on. It was like being interrogated about their family background. They looked at their father but got no response, only saw him sighing.
Might as well say it.
Lu Xiu: "Eighteen."
Lu Bing: "Nineteen."
One was less than a year younger than Lu Ding, the other was a little over a year younger.
His voice rang out: "You two really don't waste any time, do you? You described the situation back then as so dangerous, and yet the moment you came back, you had kids?"
"And I thought you'd produce some heavenly prodigy. You made the Lu Family sound so grand and noble, but after enjoying resources since childhood, you can't even reach Spirit Refinement? Aren't you two just pure freeloading wastes!?"
"Indeed, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, a mouse's son knows how to dig holes. Mangled freaks, how laughable. And you want me to come back? I'm afraid you'll hinder my development."
Lu Teng was so enraged by Lu Ding's words that he forgot his inner turmoil, his face turning red: "Lu Ding, you've gone too far!!!!"
"If you have a problem, take it out on me! Don't attack your younger brother and sister!!!!"
The words "younger brother and sister" struck like thunderbolts in Lu Bing and Lu Xiu's minds, scattering the anger that Lu Ding's words had stirred up in them.
They actually... had an older brother they'd never seen before!!!!?????
Lu Ding flicked nonexistent dust off his sleeve: "Attack?"
He made his stance clear: "With my cultivation level, my strength, my age, and my growth starting from nothing, is it wrong for me to say they're good-for-nothing wastes? Isn't that the truth? Or is the truth not allowed to be spoken?"
The leaders from Great Han on this side were all overjoyed. Scold them! That's exactly how you should scold them!!!!
Although a nineteen-year-old at the ninth level of God Ascension could absolutely be called a prodigy, compared to Lu Ding, they were indeed useless.
Truth, no mistake, thumbs up.
Lu Ding nodded: "Fine, even if it is an attack, I'm just standing up for my younger self. You kept saying how dangerous the situation was, how it was for my own good, so you abandoned me. And then you turned around and had a younger brother and sister who aren't that much younger than me."
"Don't you find that ironic!?"
