No Right or Wrong

Inside the spacious Martial King Manor, three people were seated.

Shi Yi sat at the head, with A Man beside him serving tea and pouring water. Yu Yuexian, the nominal steward of Martial King Manor, sat in the secondary seat, while Shi Hao and Qin Yining, mother and son, sat below.

"So much has happened in two years!"

Shi Yi's head ached, and his heart hurt as well.

He simply could not understand it. He had only been trying to save someone, so why had things turned out like this? Bi An and Ya Zi, far away in the Heavenly Realm, actually had such ties to the Adult Pixiu.

At this moment.

Shi Yi finally understood what the Adult Pixiu meant by fighting to the death, and why it dared to threaten to visit Martial King Manor.

But now.

He could only shoulder Martial King Manor alone.

And only he could shoulder Martial King Manor.

"Yi'er, you must drive this mother and son away at once, especially Shi Hao. He is a Disaster Star. Everyone who knows the full story hates this Disaster Star without exception." Yu Yuexian's tone was filled with fury.

Although the Rain Clan's integration into the Shi Clan and Martial King Manor had granted her considerable authority, her tolerance for Shi Hao and Qin Yining had reached its breaking point.

Now that Father is gone, the eldest son should naturally take charge of the household.

Shi Yi pressed a hand on Yu Yuexian's shoulder, making her sit back down after she had unconsciously risen to her feet. At the same time, he directly took over her authority as steward of Martial King Manor.

It was not that Shi Yi did not trust his mother.

It was that she simply could not hold this position securely.

She was an ordinary person with mediocre talent. Though she had become the steward of Martial King Manor by relying on the Rain Clan that had joined them, the younger generation of Martial King Manor and the Shi Clan could never submit to an outsider like her.

Only Shi Yi—and only Shi Yi—could firmly hold the position of steward of Martial King Manor. It was not only because of the Double Pupil User's talent, but also because of his surname, Shi, and his status as Martial King Manor's direct grandson.

"If Yi'er wishes to take charge, Mother has no objections. But this Disaster Star cannot stay. What if he brings disaster upon you in the future? Mother would regret it to death."

Yu Yuexian still doted on Shi Yi as much as ever. Whatever he wanted, so long as she had it, she was willing to give it to him. Even if she did not have it, she would steal it for him.

As for the mere position of steward of Martial King Manor, she gave it to Shi Yi without a second thought. In fact, she had only taken that position because she intended to leave it to Shi Yi.

"Mother, Shi Hao is my little brother, my blood brother. Though when I was young, I always said that he would protect me when he grew up."

At this point.

Shi Yi paused slightly before continuing, "But as the elder brother, sometimes I must step forward to protect my little brother. That is also an elder brother's responsibility."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Shi Yi felt a small stone crash into his embrace. Looking down, he discovered that it was Shi Hao, whose tears had long since begun flowing uncontrollably.

Over these past days, the misunderstanding of his clansmen, the blame of outsiders, and the estrangement of his family had already broken young Shi Hao's heart.

Fortunately.

There was still one family member who did not despise him, who did not despise him for being a Disaster Star.

"Don't cry. Just because people call you a Disaster Star, you accept it? I say you are not."

Shi Yi knew that Shi Hao had merely suffered an undeserved calamity. The Rain Clan and the people of Martial King Manor only wanted someone to take the blame, after all. So many people had died.

"Yi Gege, really?"

Young Shi Hao lifted his head, tears shimmering in his large eyes.

"Of course it is."

Shi Yi nodded, then reached out and tapped Shi Hao's chest. "Little brother, do you know? There is a bone in your chest, a bone enough to reign supreme."

There was no longer any problem with him revealing the Supreme Bone.

More importantly.

Shi Yi noticed that Shi Hao had become somewhat inferior, as though he truly believed himself to be a Disaster Star. He hoped that this Supreme Bone could restore Shi Hao's former confidence.

"Supreme Bone?"

Qin Yining, who had not spoken until now, suddenly spoke.

"Aunt, my little brother has a Supreme Bone in his chest. Like me, he is a Young Supreme." Shi Yi nodded.

To cast off the title of Disaster Star, it was not enough for Shi Yi alone to say so. Shi Hao also needed to display his talent if they were to make the people of Martial King Manor keep their mouths shut.

"Supreme Bone? Yi Gege, is this bone an extra one?"

Shi Hao immediately stopped crying and began feeling around his chest.

"That's right, an extra bone. It's bone hyperplasia too," Shi Yi casually brushed him off.

Right after that.

Shi Yi stood up and walked before his Aunt Qin Yining. In a gentle voice, he said, "Aunt, don't worry too much. Martial King Manor is under my command now. You and Little brother can stay here without concern. This is your home. No one can drive you away."

After saying that.

Shi Yi waved a hand, stopping his mother Yu Yuexian from speaking lest she say something else that would hurt their feelings.

Fortunately, Yu Yuexian spoiled Shi Yi far too much. So long as it was something he said or did, she would not refuse.

Right after that.

Shi Yi slowly walked outside and summoned his Ten Celestial Passages. Ten radiant suns shone brilliantly, illuminating him like a god descended into the mortal world and making him appear solemn and sacred.

The next moment.

Countless Double Pupils lit up above the entire Martial King Manor. Everyone understood that Shi Yi, the Double Pupil User, had returned.

"Shi Yi has returned?"

"It really is Shi Yi, the Double Pupil User, who has returned!!!"

"Damn Bi An, damn Ya Zi! One day, you will pay the price! The Rain King and Martial King will not have died in vain!"

The younger generation of the Shi Clan in Martial King Manor, as well as the younger generation of the Rain Clan that had integrated into Martial King Manor, were all stirred with excitement, regardless of gender.

This was something Shi Hao could never achieve. After all, Shi Yi's mother came from the Rain Clan, and the Rain Clan's younger generation only acknowledged Shi Yi.

"All of you, gather at the Martial Arts Arena of Martial King Manor. I, Shi Yi, have an important matter to announce." His voice was neither loud nor soft, yet it spread throughout the entire Martial King Manor.

At the same time.

Stone Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

"That boy Shi Yi has returned from the Great Wilderness?"

A middle-aged man with a gentle bearing and a ruddy complexion sat upright upon a Dragon Throne filled with the aura of humanity.

"Yes, Your Majesty. He has already returned to Martial King Manor." An aged yet robust old guard answered respectfully.

"Zhu Yan said he broke through to Ten Celestial Passages and was enough to reign supreme in this generation. It even specifically came back to ask whether I had a suitable princess to marry off to him, and it even gave him the Mountain Treasure of the Great Wilderness." The middle-aged man sighed.

"Among those of suitable age, perhaps only the Sixteenth Princess remains," the old guard continued.

"Little Sixteen is about the same age as Shi Yi. She is indeed suitable." The middle-aged man nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, Fire Kingdom seems to..." The old guard hesitated.

"I know. The Vermilion Bird even forcibly arranged a marriage contract for Shi Yi." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

Unfortunately.

Shi Yi did not know that the Stone Country Human Emperor was arranging blind dates for him. At this moment, he floated high in the air, ten Cavern Heavens behind him like vast blazing suns that none dared look at directly.

It had to be said.

The powerful pressure brought by Ten Celestial Passages was truly extraordinary. On top of that, Shi Yi's Ten Celestial Passages had been evolved from the Thirteen Dao Scriptures and contained the power of Yin Yang Chaos and the Five Elements Eight Trigrams, making their oppressive aura even more powerful.

"I, Shi Yi, direct grandson of Martial King Manor and the Shi Clan, tempered myself in the Great Wilderness for five years and cultivated Ten Celestial Passages. Upon returning home for the first time, I learned that all the Old Ancestors had been slain by ferocious beasts."

"This news weighs heavily upon us. However, Martial King Manor cannot remain leaderless for a single day. I, Shi Yi, shall bear this responsibility, and I shall also bear the burden of avenging this hatred."

"This vengeance will be taken!"

As his words fell.

Whether they were from the younger generation of the Shi Clan in Martial King Manor or the younger generation of the Rain Clan that had integrated into Martial King Manor, they all knelt upon the ground and expressed their allegiance to the Young Supreme in the sky.

They were all willing to submit to Shi Yi, the Double Pupil User who possessed Ten Celestial Passages.

They also believed Shi Yi had the ability to lead them in avenging their hatred.

The grudges between ferocious beasts and humanity had accumulated for far too long.

There was no right or wrong.

Only hatred.
