Chapter 5: The meeting between brothers

Three days went by in a flash.

In these couple of days, Su Chen has become accustomed to the many customs of the Su family and roamed through the huge estate that it possesses.

The Su estate covers an extremely large area with many magnificent mansions, sky-high mountains, immortal cave dwellings, lakes the size of rivers, and trees that are as high as his previous life's skyscrapers.

The atmosphere is ancient and solemn. From time to time, bursts of deep divine sense can be felt being swept across. These are definitely the ancient existences with deep cultivation base cultivating in the depth of the Su estate.

There are hundreds of thousands of disciples living in the Su estate. Not only are those from the Su family from the ancestral land, but there are also those who came from outside to cultivate in the Su family.

After these disciples worship the Su family, in the future, they can serve the family as deacons. And the talented ones can even become family generals and earn glory for themselves.

In fact, from Su Chen's perspective, the Su aristocratic family is no different from a sect, a sect with an ancient heritage. Most aristocratic families in the empire are also like this!

And it is these aristocratic families that together formed the Great Xia Dynasty and ruled thousands of millions of miles.

...

...

...

At this time,

Su Chen, surrounded by many valets, is walking and planning many things silently.

As the direct son of Su Caishen and as the prince of the Su family, his position is very stable and he is hailed as the future patriarch by all. All the servants and maids around had awe and respect written all over their faces.

Suddenly, a figure of a determined and upright young man walked out of the cultivation square of the Su estate and met Su Chen and his crew head-on!

Seeing this person, Su Chen narrowed his eyes, and a faint smile grew on his lips.

Isn't this his dearest big brother, Ye Tian?

The division of hierarchy of the main wife and concubine in this world is very strict, and as the eldest son of the patriarch, Ye Tian has never been able to aspire to the throne of the prince in the family.

However, even if it is a concubine, Ye Tian still has the blood of the main family of Su and is the eldest son, at least in name.

What is amusing is that Ye Tian came out of the cultivation square of the Su estate.

One must know that even ordinary children of side branches have their own cultivation dwellings. Not to mention, Su Chen, as the prince, has his dwelling located on a spiritual mountain.

But this Ye Tian, as the eldest son of the Su family, can only cultivate in the cultivation square with disciples of foreign origin.

It's a noticeable distinction under the pressure of the Eldest Princess Xia.

At the same time, Ye Tian also noticed him, but there wasn't a speck of amusement on his face, just pure hatred and a twisted face.

His eyes were red, with a trace of deep hatred. If eyes could kill, Su Chen would be dead a hundred times by now.

He will never forget how his mother and maid died.

His mother was already weak because of the poison fed to her by the eldest princess. She was then beaten to death! He begged anyone and everyone he could to save her, but nobody came forward!

Having no other choice, he knelt in front of Su Chen, cried, and begged him to let her live! He just hoped for the sake of brotherhood that he would have pity.

But Su Chen chuckled softly and said, "Why? Does it hurt?".

He would never forget the day when Su Chen "bestowed" a glass of poisoned wine to his maid, Qing'er. After his mother's death, Ye Tian considered Qing'er to be the only close relative in his life. He could do nothing but watch her die with foam gushing out of her mouth.

"It was her honor to be bestowed wine by the prince," they said.

From then on, Ye Tian swore he would kill these two inhuman creatures.

One day, I will avenge my mother. I'll avenge Qing'er.

But for now, forbearance. He can only keep this hatred buried deep in his heart. He knew there was a lot of danger to his life at all times and that Eldest Princess Xia was looking for an excuse to kill him.

He can only suppress this hatred and wait for an opportunity in the future.

He took a deep look at Su Chen among the many valets and wanted to avoid him. So, he was about to take a turn.

But right at this moment, an arrogant voice came in, "Stop! You've seen the prince and still want to be rude?"

It was a servant next to Su Chen!

He was just a servant in the Su estate, and opposite to him was the eldest son of the Su family from the direct line. Ye Tian should be considered his master.

But the servant knew Ye Tian's situation was not good at all, and he was a thorn in the eldest princess's eyes.

He was Su Chen's valet and naturally wanted to seize this opportunity to win his favor by suppressing and humiliating Ye Tian.

But when Ye Tian heard these words, his suppressed anger almost burst out. His heart was full of anger and suffocation. He is the eldest son of the Su family, even if it's just in name.

Now, even a servant can insult and admonish him at will?!

He glanced at Su Chen resentfully. Knowing full well that the current situation is all thanks to Su Chen and his mother!

But he still suppressed the anger forcibly, bowed deeply towards Su Chen, and said word-by-word, gritting his teeth, "I've seen the prince."

With a raised eyebrow, Su Chen waited for Ye Tian to give him a bow, and only then did he come to humbly support him and said with a smile like a gentle breeze, "Why is big brother being so polite? You and I are blood brothers, and we don't have to be so formal at all times!"

His appearance was very handsome, bearing extraordinary, and the smile on his face seemed so sincere, which can make anyone feel good at first glance.

If others saw this scene, they would undoubtedly think these two brothers are really close.

But when Ye Tian saw this smile, he felt a chill running down his spine. His heart became cold as ice. Because only he could see, although Su Chen looked sincere, there was utter indifference and chill in the depth of his eyes.

He knew his brother was a smiling tiger with deep calculations. One wrong step could send him straight 6 feet under.

Su Chen was ruthless, with only interests in his eyes. He was the same as a poisonous snake. In his opinion, even the entire Su family was a den of snakes and wolves, just like Su Chen.

Ye Tian looked at the still-smiling Su Chen with deep eyes and said, "Brother, I shall take my leave."

He turned and left. He didn't want to stay any longer. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold his anger back and shot Su Chen directly.

Su Chen is in the Profound Core realm, while he's only in the Soul Sea realm. With one big realm of difference in strength, he won't be able to do anything.

Not yet, at least.

Forbearance is Ye Tian's motto. This is what has kept him alive till now.
