Chaos Systems
Chapters. 51 - Brother Relations

Inside the Yong'an Pavilion, there were currently two people sitting face to face. Both of them were Great Master Zhao Bingyan and Sect Patriarch Zhao Yuan. Each of them held a ceramic glass containing a warm tea that had been prepared by his students.

"How are you doing now?" Zhao Yuan asked after they lingered silent at the place.

"I'm fine." Zhao Bingyan replied as she lowered her ceramic glass. "... I heard, Master Yuan told Mu Chen Xiao to keep an eye on me and make a medicine that could cure me. Actually, why do you trust a child to treat me?" Asked Zhao Bingyan who suddenly looked at him coldly.

Before answering, Zhao Yuan had a sip of his drink and gave Zhao Bingyan a gentle look even though he was currently hating her. "... I told him because I believed." He answered while putting back the ceramic glass. "... After all, I'm the one who knows where the kid came from but, you just picked it up out of pity."

"I'm just asking you, why did you force her to do it?"

Zhao Yuan stroked his beard a few times and briefly sighed tiredly from talking too much. "Actually, Mu Chen Xiao was the son of a famous female entertainer in Jiangyan city back then. You must know who that woman is."

Hearing it, it made Zhao Bingyan stunned and she tried to remember it again. Just as Shang Ren had said back then when Zhao Bingyan tried to kill him, he started to get serious and asked, "Was the female hostess named Zhao Qian Yue who was married to a man who came from the Mu family?"

Zhao Yuan nodded and replied, "At that time I couldn't tell you. But, since you've met him, I think I can say it now." He said as he poured the tea back into Zhao Bingyan's ceramic glass when he found out that the contents had run out. "... Actually, Zhao Qian Yue is the illegitimate child of your mother and your first brother. However, because according to the rules that exist in the Zhao family if, a woman who has an illegitimate child, has given birth to a child that comes from a marriage relationship, the, the illegitimate child must not touch the child who came from both parents for five years. That's why I never told you that you actually have an older brother who comes from an affair."

Zhao Bingyan was very surprised when she heard it because she really did not believe in that truth. How come all this time, he had just learned that Zhao Yuan also had an illegitimate child. "... How did that happen? If Zhao Qian Yue is my first brother and the illegitimate child of the two of you, that means Mu Chen Xiao is,..."

"He's your nephew and Lu'er's nephew." Zhao Yuan replied before Zhao Bingyan actually noticed it.

Zhao Bingyan blushed in disbelief at what she was hearing right now. All this time he really didn't notice! ”... Then, what I've been doing to him all this time, is it really similar to the uncle's relationship with his nephew?” inner Zhao Bingyan who was still speechless after being satisfied to hear it.

"What the fuck are you guys?! I can't accept having a niece who's one year younger with me!" Shouted Zhao Wei Lu who had heard their conversation from behind the door and he did not accept having a nephew whose age was not far from him.

"When were you there?" Zhao Yuan asked who was astonished at him.

"What do you care if I've been standing here since?! I can't accept that Mu Chen Xiao is my nephew! Just no!" Snapped Zhao Wei Lu who immediately left in a hurry from the place.

Zhao Wei Lu would have been unhappy if he had a nephew who was a year younger than him. That definitely makes it look like two people are brothers when, both of their parents are different. "... I heard Zhao Qian Yue's name from Shang Ren. Then, is Mu Chen Xiao's father Shang Ren?" Zhao Bingyan asked back.

Zhao Yuan was stunned and asked, "Where did Master Shang Ren know about it? Zhao Qian Yue was the greatest disgrace of the Zhao family and really should be kept a secret until this point."

Zhao Bingyan thought before replying, "Today, when we were in the Dao Xun valley, he had always been protecting her. His expression was also different from usual when he was talking to her. I thought he was his father because of his very different attitude than usual."

"Cerang Ren is not his father. Zhao Qian Yue is married to Mu Chou Ran. So, her father is the long-lost Mu Chou Ran and the one who killed your mother." Zhao Yuan replied which definitely made all the Sect disciples shocked if they heard it. However, it was fortunate that at that moment, not a single disciple other than Zhao Wei Lu had listened to them speak.

Mu Chou Ran killed his mother when Zhao Wei Lu was one month old. Then, two years later. The Yin Lang Sect along with most of the Zhao family, came attacking the Mu residence and killed everyone there without exception. Children and parents were also killed in the attack and at that time, the, only Qian Yue was left preparing a wooden basin and putting the infant Mu Chen Xiao inside before she drowned him in the Luobing river with her name carved into the wood. However, when he finished doing so, suddenly a sword stuck in his right chest and the sword just killed him tragically.

The one who killed him was Zhao Bingyan who was still drowning in his anger before he finally realized who was now being killed by him. This woman was Qian Yue who had just died from the sword that had stuck in her right chest.

And just now that he found out that Qian Yue was actually his first brother, it made Zhao Bingyan even more humble and ashamed of herself. He didn't know that in the end it would be like this. ”If Mu Chen Xiao knew that I was the one who killed his mother, what would he say?” inner Zhao Bingyan.

"... Will he grow up to be a villain like Mu Chou Ran or an assassin like me?" Zhao Bingyan asked.

Zhao Yuan thought before replying, "That was his own decision. But, don't tell him who his father is right now."

The training ground of the students.

"It's so upsetting! Why should I have a family relationship with him?!" Zhao Wei Lu said in annoyance while kicking a pebble that finally floated up to hit someone who was sitting not far from him.

The man was a young man wearing a red robe and long silver hair, sitting in any place before he finally felt that someone had thrown him with a stone. "... Ouch,... Who threw the stone at me?" Said the young man while rubbing the back of his head.

Zhao Wei Lu looked confusedly as the young man looked at him and asked, "Whose uncle is this? Why are your clothes different from those of the other students."

The young man stroked his chin as he was laughing at it before he finally replied, "Hoho,... Don't equate me with the students here. I am one of the spirits of the Jinya Mountains near the city of Jiangyan. I am Xun Ji'an the white serpent spirit." She said as she pulled her hair back as she finished talking to him.

"...." - ".Zhao Wei Lu was silent for a while after he saw the oddity that was happening before him right now. "... Then, who are you looking for right now?"

"I'm here to look for Zhao Bingyan but, I haven't found her since." Xun Ji'an replied.

"He,... He was being together with the Patriarch of the Sect in the Yong'an pavilion. You just follow him there." Zhao Wei Lu replied with a slight annoyance as he walked back to leave her.

"Wait a minute young man!" Xun Ji'an said as she pulled the collar of Zhao Wei Lu's clothes as she walked ahead of him. "... You know the rules about treating guests well?" Xun Ji'an asked with a grin.

”Sucks this guy!” inner Zhao Wei Lu who held back his regret.

"Ji'an? What are you here for?" Ask a man who is now standing behind them.

The two of them looked back and Xun Ji'an's expression turned startled when she found out that the man who had previously called her name was Zhao Bingyan himself!

"Oh! Yan-Yan! Long time no see!" Said Xun Ji'an who felt surprised. He immediately ran towards her and hugged Zhao Bingyan without thinking about the sight of the people who were looking at the two of them.

”Truly similar to inner tol—” boy Zhao Wei Lu who noticed.
