These were unavoidable.
The only difference was that, at first, many people had treated him like a child and tried to fob him off.
But after seeing Le Zhengyue's means and abilities, the family elders who had wanted to test him or brush him off, along with the local heads of various organizations, came to think highly of him.
Under these circumstances, it wasn't difficult for Le Zhengyue to find people willing to seriously injure Yue Zhengyu.
As long as Yue Zhengyu wasn't killed, even his own grandfather, Yue Zhengen, wouldn't stop it.
Having recognized him as the young family head, Yue Zhengen would devote all the family's resources to cultivating him.
The only reason the Angel Inheritance was still left to Yue Zhengyu was that Le Zhengyue couldn't use it.
Or rather, the Angel Inheritance meant nothing to their family.
With everything planned out, the people sent to secretly assassinate or grievously wound Yue Zhengyu should have already reached him.
Especially with Yu Xiaogang himself acting as an undercover agent.
Over the years, Yu Xiaogang had made rapid progress.
After cleaning a full ten thousand toilets, he had reached the Second Trial of his Fart God exam.
To Le Zhengyue's surprise, he had passed the Second Trial just as quickly.
He had already reached the Third Trial, and his Luo Sanpao Martial Soul had advanced to five rings.
Of course, an even greater improvement was that after completing the Fart God's Third Trial, he seemed to have gained some kind of special ability and become rather uncanny.
But none of that had anything to do with Le Zhengyue.
He couldn't cheerfully hire Yu Xiaogang as his companion—or business partner, so to speak.
He regarded Yu Xiaogang only as a pawn, planning to toss him back to Tang San once he was done with him.
Of course, how Tang San and Yu Xiaogang got along afterward had nothing to do with him.
Or rather, it wasn't something he could concern himself with anymore.
After finishing his thoughts, Le Zhengyue tidied up and went downstairs.
After lunch, just as he was about to go out for a stroll, Jiang Nannan came running over in a hurry.
Seeing Jiang Nannan return after leaving earlier, Le Zhengyue furrowed his brow.
"Who told you to come back? Didn't I tell you to leave from there? You were supposed to head straight to the Second Main Road. Why are you back so soon?"
Jiang Nannan panted, her face stricken with panic. "Na'er—Na'er disappeared! But—but I noticed in time. Someone's already gone after her!"
Her voice was frantic, but Le Zhengyue only froze for a moment before his gaze gradually settled.
Under normal circumstances, the Soul Beasts could take Na'er away.
After all, the Super Douluo among the Soul Beasts were no weaklings.
But the problem was, this was the Yue Family.
Aside from his grandfather, a Limit Douluo, his second, third, and fourth granduncles were all Level 98 peak Super Douluo.
With Three-Word Battle Armor, each of them had the strength of a quasi-Limit Douluo.
In this situation, facing those Ferocious Beasts without Battle Armor, the beasts might not be able to escape.
At that thought, Le Zhengyue's mouth twitched.
He'd forgotten about it earlier—truly forgotten, or perhaps he simply hadn't paid much attention.
After all, given the connection between those Soul Beasts and Na'er, taking her away shouldn't have been difficult.
But whether by coincidence or bad luck, Jiang Nannan had gone looking for her and discovered the signs of Na'er's departure.
Le Zhengyue glanced at Jiang Nannan, at the panic and alarm in her eyes, and wasn't sure what to say.
"Enough. This isn't something you need to worry about. You can go. Those people are Na'er's family. They contacted me before, but I didn't want to let her go."
"It's a good thing they're taking Na'er away this time. You'll see her again eventually."
As he spoke, Le Zhengyue looked at Jiang Nannan, a hint of meaning in his eyes.
Meeting his gaze, Jiang Nannan's eyes flickered, then slowly grew calm again.
She understood how terrifying the young man before her was.
Ever since Le Zhengyue had become involved in managing the entire Yue Family, he had steadily been chipping away at its power and had kept a remarkably firm grip on the family as a whole.
Under his leadership, the Yue Family had improved over the years—though that might be an exaggeration—but the authority he wielded had already far exceeded what a normal young family head should possess.
So Jiang Nannan believed what he said.
Still, hearing that Na'er had left, she glanced at Le Zhengyue in silence.
Meeting Jiang Nannan's gaze, Le Zhengyue felt helpless. "Don't look at me like that. I'll leave after you do. Do you think I'm going to the Shrek Academy through the Yue Family?"
"And from now on, when you see me, act like you don't know me. Remember, I'm not even a legitimate son of the Yue Family. I'm just a collateral-line member."
Le Zhengyue sighed, then picked up the phone and hurriedly called Grandpa Fu.
Jiang Nannan gave Le Zhengyue one last, deep look, then turned and left in silence.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
During those three days, the Yue Family erased all information about Le Zhengyue—or rather, classified it at the highest level and strictly forbade its children from leaking anything.
And Le Zhengyue's name changed from that of the family's future legitimate heir to that of a collateral-line member.
After three days of preparation, and after ensuring that everything was in order, Le Zhengyue explained things to his grandfather.
He mainly explained why he had made himself a collateral-line member, as well as what had happened with Yue Zhengyu.
He couldn't hide the fact that he had grievously injured Yue Zhengyu from his grandfather.
But Yue Zhengen never asked about it.
Le Zhengyue was somewhat surprised by this trust—or rather, he hadn't expected his grandfather to hold him in such high regard.
After all, Yue Zhengyu had inherited the Angel Martial Soul.
Under these circumstances, Yue Zhengen's support for him was tantamount to confirming his status as young family head.
After a brief discussion with his grandfather, Le Zhengyue made his preparations. He even bought a high-speed rail ticket to Eastsea City and arranged a pair of fake parents for himself.
Le Zhengyue was quite satisfied with his fake parents.
They were both from the most distant branch of the Yue Family and didn't know his true identity. They only knew he was going to the Eastsea Academy.
They wanted to leave the Yue Family's environment, too, so the two sides simply cooperated. This was the safest arrangement.
After all, neither of them knew who Le Zhengyue was. They only thought he was another collateral-line member.
When Le Zhengyue left for Eastsea City, he also took another pair of Angel Guards with him.
Of course, it didn't matter that they went there. Song Wen and the others were already there.
With two pairs of Angel Guards, Le Zhengyue could feel much more at ease.
On the seventh day after Le Zhengyue left, Yue Zhengyu returned.
His teacher came back with him.
Yu Xiaogang now wore a pure white set of casual clothes. His face had become even more unsettling than before, but his aura was also much stronger.
Yue Zhengyu, however, had returned with grave injuries. He'd nearly had one of his legs crippled, according to what they said.
In the end, Yu Xiaogang had used a special method to forcefully get them out of there, saving both their lives.
