Xu Yuan's
Chapter 19's
Xu Yuan invited the two young masters to sit down, and he invited the two to enjoy the fresh fruits that had been successfully picked from the forest, even in his hands right now there were three glasses made of bamboo and it had contained clean water for drinking.
"Eat." he said briefly while offering fruits that are not far from his place.
The two young masters instantly picked up the fruits and ate them quickly, Xu Yuan could see for himself, currently the two young masters from the Fu noble family looked like people who were starving, the most, they ate the fruit as if they were afraid of running out.
"What's really going on and why are those men in black clothes attacking you?" asked Xu Yuan.
The two young masters people finally stopped eating it, then glanced at each other, sadness imprinted clearly on the faces of the two youths. Soon Fu San immediately told him everything that happened to him and all members of the Fu noble family were the result of the reigning emperor in the empire, whose name was emperor Bing Kai.
Emperor Bing Kai, a dark figure, had left a deep scar on the hearts of his people. With his undisputed power, he constantly did unfairly and ignored the fate of his loyal subjects.
One of the most violent acts committed by Emperor Bing Kai was the uncontrolled increase in taxes. Without considering the increasingly heavy burden of life for the commoners, the Emperor mercilessly increased the taxes many times over. As a result, small people who have been sandwiched in the poverty line are increasingly falling into a slump.
They have to spend most of their income to meet those unfair tax obligations, while their daily needs are neglected.
Emperor Bing Kai also showed an indifferent attitude towards the suffering of his people. Despite the overflowing calls and protests from the suffering society, the Emperor continued to ignore their grievances. He still insisted on maintaining policies that harmed the common people, only to enrich himself and the elite groups that surrounded him.
This reflects the insincerity and unforgivable indifference of a leader who is supposed to protect and fight for the interests of his people.
As a result of the unjust treatment and indifference of Emperor Bing Kai, the lives of the commoners became increasingly an unstoppable affliction. They had to fight the burdens that were too heavy, while the Emperor and his followers enjoyed an unfair luxury.
This absence of social justice and inhumane treatment has created instability within the kingdom, further undermining the relationship between the ruler and his people.
The noble family of Fu resolutely refused Emperor Bing Kai's policy of unfairly raising taxes and burdening the people. These policies become stumbling blocks that threaten their own well-being and lives.
The noble family of Fu, consisting of people who were wise and had a deep understanding of their responsibilities as the leader of the nobility, realized that Emperor Bing Kai's actions would bring suffering to the people.
They have listened to the grievances of the people, witnessed their suffering, and are determined to protect the justice and well-being they have built up over the centuries.
However, the courage of the Fu noble family made Emperor Bing Kai feel threatened and unwilling to tolerate their resistance. In anger and a desire to get rid of those who question his power, Emperor Bing Kai decides to send in assassins to eliminate the Fu noble family in a terrible tragedy.
Amidst the darkness and chaos, the noble family of Fu struggled with courage and ingenuity. They defend themselves, defend the honor and truth they hold dear. They resisted with all their might and tried to stop the wave of destruction directed at them.
However, the efforts of the Fu noble family were ultimately unable to match the strength of the powerful and ruthless hitmen. In the end, the noble family of Fu, with a heavy heart, was forced to face the tragic fate directed by Emperor Bing Kai.
The army of black-clothed men managed to eliminate the Fu nobility from the face of the earth. However, shortly after, they quickly chased after the five surviving sons of noble Fu.
The five young men were distinguished and learned young masters, possessing unbridled courage. When news of the massacre reaches their ears, they are forced to leave their homes, entering a dark and dangerous forest. They realize that only by running away can they avoid the same fate.
Running amidst the dense and remote forest, the five sons of noble Fu must face unimaginable challenges. The obstructing branches of trees, the wildly propagating plants, and the difficult terrain made their journey heavy.
However, their spirit never receded. They give each other support and encouragement, because they know that their only hope is to survive.
In his escape, the five youths also had to face threats from the army of black-clothed men who continued to chase after them. In the darkness of the forest, tension grew with each step they took. They must hide, move from place to place, hoping to infiltrate through a network of lush trees that hide them from the sight of the enemy who continues to hunt.
In this perilous journey, the five sons of noble Fu learn to rely on each other. They find a power within them that they were previously unaware of. When one of them falls, the other will help to get back up. They become increasingly powerful and united in the face of a lurking enemy.
Xu Yuan simply nodded his head hearing all the explanations given by Fu San, he understood about how his pain was left behind by the family, because he had also previously experienced it. But the difference is now that his parents are still alive and waiting for him to immediately improve his abilities, so that he can return to the upper realm.
"What are your plans now?" asked Xu Yuan.
The two young men looked at each other, before long they immediately rose from their seats, then jutted with their right legs bent forward while their left legs backward, both of their hands were clenched in front of their chest.
"Allow us to follow you, young master Xu" the two young men said in unison.
Xu Yuan simply frowned, since when did he become a young master? Even from birth he has felt the meaning of hunger, because he lives below the poverty line.
"Hmmm.."
