THE GAME

Chapter 32

Wen Ruohan P.O.V

My ancestors before me strived to reach where I am now. I must say that their efforts inspired me to find my way. As a Wen, it is my duty to get to the pinnacle. Ordinary people call it greed, I call it growth and hard work. Why settle for less when I am born to have it all. Even the heavens. Haha...

When I read about the legend of Yanling Daoren, the firstborn son of a celestial known as the mother of cultivation, Baoshan Sanren. I was captivated. It is said that she has the power to create and destroy spiritual energy.

Daoren left his home to live in the mortal world with the pure aim of helping humanity get better. After many years he came to terms that the darkness in this world won't go away just because he was a light bearer. So he began to use his given ability to absorb the negative energy and created the Yin iron to contain it. Little did he know that he was exposing himself for what he truly was; a beacon of unimaginable power. Long story short, he disappeared when the world turned more destructive in its desire to possess him.

I continued the hunt for the Yin iron when I took after my father... Who would have thought that in my time another offspring of the immortal Grandmaster would descend? Cangse Sanren's appearance was proof that the universe was on my side. And I had the means to control that power. Make her my concubine.

She eloped with a mere servant. That coward Fengmian had gold in his house and could not even see it.

I for one could not let her get away so I searched for her. Years later I saw her with that servant and they had a child with them. A child born of a Celestial. Imagine my own bloodline carrying those genes. They could be gods on the earth. Wei Cangze was of no use to me but his wife and son were.

My men attacked in the middle of the night. They managed to capture her because of that which makes one weak- love. But that child I saw was not with them. I was told he fell off a cliff after being chased by the dogs.

Cangse was showing great promise. The more pain I put her through mentally, the easier her abilities manifested. Unfortunately, she was also not up to the task.

When Fengmian introduced his adopted son in a meeting at Yunmeng, the agenda was back on. If that child survived a cliff, then he is his mother's son. This time I did not want to scare my goose away, and made my interest in getting him engaged to my first son known beforehand.

After laboring for more than a decade, monitoring that boy's growth, the Lans think I'll let them steal him...Not a chance...

"Wei Wuxian! You have a visitor.", the cells slid open. Two more bangs from the stick and the omega is startled out of his thoughts. It had only been twenty days since he was locked up but no one had come to see him and he was not allowed to make a phone call. In a way, the omega felt it was for the best but he missed his siblings terribly. There was no angry lotus to wake him up in the morning, only the rowdy sounds of guards and inmates. The lotus pork rib soup he was used to was now replaced with mushy unpalatable food and water that made his insides churn. Not to mention the other inmates trying to intimidate and provoke him without cause.

Wei Ying knew little about the place but one thing was for sure, that was not the visiting hall. Many ideas slipped through his head. Who is here to see him, his family? The lotus paused when he reached the warden's office. If Sect Leader Jiang and Madam Yu were behind that door, then he didnt want to enter.

"Move!", the escort shoved him. After a glance at the person, the omega stepped forward and turned the knob. Going inside, what met him was silence and the faint smell of Sandalwood. He hesitated once more to take a deep breath before taking another step.
