Chapter 54: Half of a Gold Owner
 
The words spoken were very not welcoming and Xie Yu spoke in disbelief, “Xie Huai, you haven’t gone crazy have you?

Although this cousin of his was not pleasing to the eye, he also had never thought of harming him. But Xie Huai’s first words were to threaten to kill him?!

Xie Huai sneered, "Do you think this is home? I’m telling you, outside of the house, waste should be dead!”

Xie Yu's eyes sank, "Who did you just call waste?”

His cousin Xie Huai was the most gifted one in their family. He was raised as the moon surrounded by twinkling stars, and had always enjoyed the best resources in the family (1).

Xie Yu had lived in the shadows of this cousin since he was a child.

He was also excellent, but whenever he was mentioned together with Xie Huai, he became the foil.

In fact, seriously speaking, his talent was not much worse than his cousin. At most the difference was between an 80 and a 85. However the resources he received since childhood were more than one or two grades lower than that of his cousins.

If Xie Yu was able to obtain resources that matched his talents, he might not have such a large difference with Xie Huai by now.

But there was no other way. Xie Yu was born from the Xie family’s side branch, and his cousin Xie Huai was the only son of the current head of the Xie family.

The Xie family’s rule originally was that regardless of whether they were in direct lineage or side branch, treatment was determined according to their ability. However, reality was far from what was said. Xie Huai’s father was the head of the Xie family, and he unconsciously allocated more resources, leading others to exaggerate upon meeting him (2).

Those elders who were usually reserved towards Xie Yu, would spoil and pamper Xie Huai more and more.

Xie Yu was not happy about this, but he also wasn’t too entangled.

He always felt that in the long run, even if he wasn’t strong enough, he should not be bogged down by resources. The spiritual records in ancient books were also able to successfully cultivate into an immortal without any resources. 

For so long, he had been trying his best to maintain a balanced mentality. Not to resent anyone, but to accept the task and practice diligently.

Yes, he was indeed not considered a top figure in the younger generation of cultivators. When others called him a waste, he wouldn’t get angry.

But what position did Xie Huai, a person with vested interests, have to mock him?!

Even a dog, with so many resources to support it throughout the year, could rise in cultivation!

There was no telling what was going on in Xie Huai’s heart. He haughtily raised his chin and looked at him, his eyes full of disdain, “Whoever replied, don’t you know more clearly?”

Xie Yu gritted his teeth, "You--"

When he saw Su Zui next to him, whatever Xie Yu had wanted to say, he stopped abruptly as soon as he uttered the word.

Yes, he could tear Xie Huai’s face regardless of the consequences, but what about Su Zui?

Su Zui was just an ordinary person. In this small secret realm full of opportunities and danger, with no protector, losing his life was no joke.

He calmed down, and finally chose to speak with an enduring tone, “...Xie Huai, I don’t owe you anything. This time I won’t dispute with you. We'd better not meet in the future."
