Reap What You Sow

Chapter 18

Jin Zixuan was in his rooms, pacing the length of the room. He is trying hard to suppress the anger that is welling up inside him. Since his father took young lady jiang in and took lotus pier from her. His mother. The person he thought he could depend on to help him with taking his father down and make him step down as sect leader. She is now working on making him marry Lady jiang. No matter how many times he tells her that he is not interested and that he would never.

He does not know what to do. Who he can turn to or ask for help. He is sure that his father and half brother are up to something. And he fear it might not be something good at all. Maybe he could speak to the Lan and ask for their help. They did refuse his father's financial help in rebuilding their sect. Maybe he could grab the chance during the wedding ceremony. Casually mentioning that he sought an audience with the sect leader. Yeah, he will do that. His mind made up he took a few steadying breaths and took a seat at the low table, pouring himself a cup of wine and drank it slowly. Satisfied with his decision.

Jin Guangshan was furious with his bastard son. He made it known as soon as the young man informed him that the Lan refused their financial aid in rebuilding the Cloud Recess.

"You bastard. You can't even do one thing right. Did you not tell me that you will be able to sway the Lan sect Leader with your charm. Instead of having his support. We now have to deal with them and the Nie sect leader. How will you make this right because I want that girl for myself and you promise me that you will make it happen."

He screams at Jin Guangyoa, who stands with his head bowed and his hands stretched before him.

"But what should I expect from a son of a whore. You are worthless. I only took you in because you said that you have a plan to get me what I want. What I desire. So you better make this right, or their will be consequences. That I promise you."

He continues. Jin Guangyoa gritted his teeth in anger at the mention of son of a whore. His body shook slightly, and he wanted nothing but to drive his sword through this whore of a man, whom he calls father. Instead, he drew a few deep breaths and spoke.

"I will make this right, father. Do not worry."

He said, not knowing how he would do it.

"You better. Now get out. I do not want to see."

He dismissed him with those words, and Jin Guangyoa walked backward towards the door before sliding it open and walked outside. He slid the door close and walked towards the door, leading to the dungeons.

His mind wandered back to the Lan sect leader. He did not expect the man to treat him so cold and indifferent. But one thing he came to learn is that everyone has a weak point. Sect Leader Lan weak point is his brother. He would do anything for him. For his happiness. He would not stand if anyone would try to hurt his brother.

He would surely make that person pay. The man has a heart of gold and naturally a forgiving man. But where his brother is concerned. He will not let anything slide easily. He seems to trust Lady Caihong very much. Trust that she won't hurt his brother or bring shame to him or the Lan sect. What if something has to happen to change that. He wonders what will happen then.

A small smile graced his lips as he walked down the steps towards the place he was going to. Indeed, what will happen. Reaching his destination after passing some cells. Where you could hear inaudible voices coming from, from behind the close doors. He stopped at the last door. Righten his robes and slid the door open. He stepped inside the well litted room and closed the door behind him.

"Well. Well, what brings you down here to my humble home?".

A young man asked with a cheeky smile on his lips. Standing by a long table. On top of the table laid the body of a young man with black lines running up his neck towards his face. Jin Guangyoa looked at the young man before looking at the one lying on the table. Scanning it. He looked up again and put a smile on his face.
