The first branch of the main Feng family witnessed Yanyan break down. All of them knew that he was barely holding on since the passing of King Wan Li. That was why they had been very careful around him.

Yanggu watched his brother lose strength but still refused to lean on him. "Xiao Wu..."

Feng Yanyan only walked away, using his sleeve to wipe his face. "It's fine. Sorry, I got carried away. Leave, I want to be alone again."

Su Jian had never seen her son so devastated. Was this the price of hiding everything from him?

As a mother, she couldn't help but despair too.

She ran to Feng Yanyan and hugged him. "It's alright, Mother will tell you."

"Jian'er!" Feng Gezhi wanted to disagree.

"What do you want me to do?! This family has been suffering for years! We tried to hide it from him so he can live a quiet life. But what has it led to? He's still in pain, Gezhi. He is my son! Why should our sons suffer?"

Mother Feng had always been a strong woman. Very rarely would she be affected by emotions. And yet, Feng Gezhi was now witnessing his wife weeping for the sad state of this clan.

Since his coming of age, he believed that his clan was a powerhouse albeit it was hidden from all people of the empire. But through the years, he realized how wrong he was.

They were weak. Because they let themselves be pushed over by whoever was higher than them just to protect the foundation of this empire.

Why could they protect others and neglect their own? Why did his youngest sister and brother have to be in pain?

And now, why did his youngest son also be in pain? Wasn't it unfair?

This path was chosen by their ancestors and was passed down to the descendants from the moment they were born.

All the children of the Feng family couldn't pick where they wanted to go in life because there was only one choice. They all lived to follow the patriarch's orders and be deployed somewhere unseen and unheard.

Feng Gezhi didn't even notice how tired he was. He just kept on going through the years.

"Father?" Yanggu was worried.

His mother was being impulsive but it was also the correct thing to do. However, what would happen if Grandfather learned of this?

He heard his father sighing. "It's alright, I'll bear the consequences. Yanggu, go back to your wife and kids."

Eldest young master only shook his head and planted his feet on the floor.

"I'll stay. I will also take responsibility."

What they were about to do might earn them a capital punishment from the family. But they just couldn't stand seeing Feng Yanyan and this family being like this anymore.

Gezhi and Yanggu were the leaders of their respective generation. They didn't want to repeat the same mistakes Old Master Feng did; neglecting everything other than their sworn duty.

What they wanted was to protect their families with all the power they have. What was the use of being strong if they couldn't use it?

Feng Yanyan grew somber looking at them like this.
