Chapter 483: The grievances from the past

Autumn Moon City was a city in the central area that didn’t look all that special. However, it wasn’t lowly ranked in the central area at all. This was because it had two alchemist clans. One in the south and one in the north. These two clans had produced quite a few geniuses who got along well with each other in the past. However, their relationship with each other was pretty tense lately, and there was a tension that seemed like it would exist as long as one party was alive.

The clan in the south was called Bei Gong while the one in the North was Yin. it seemed that the Yin Clan was one level higher than the Bei Gong clan because of some secret method. This kind of method increased the rank of their pills.

Their pills of the same rank would also be slightly better in quality than the Bei Gong’s pills.

The one who was currently calling the shots in the Bei Gong Clan was called Bei Gong Xiong. He could be said to be Bei Gong Tang’s paternal great-grandfather, her father, Bei Gong Ao’s, paternal grandfather.

The Bei Gong clan had always been extremely interested in the Yin Clan’s secret method. However, the Yin Clan kept the secret well and never let it out. Even when they watched them refine the pills closely, they could not tell the difference.

As a result, when they were around twenty years old, they planned for Bei Gong Tang’s mother, Yin Lan, to fall for Bei Gong Ao and marry him despite her clan’s objections. They gave birth to Bei Gong Tang and her brother Bei Gong Hang shortly after.

However, despite this, Yin Lan never gave away the Yin Clan’s secret.

Bei Gong Ao had originally not liked Yin Lin, but liked the daughter of the Palace Master from the Earth Palace, Gu Yun Er. The two of them were in love and were even talking about marriage. However, because Yin Lan’s position in the Yin Clan was not low, before he married her, he couldn’t have other women. So, he was never able to marry her.

However, she did not reveal the Yin Clan’s secrets all those years, and Bei Gong Ao’s patience gradually wore tin. After a fight, he turned around and married Gu Xin Er. That very year end, they gave birth to a daughter called Bei Gong Er.

The Earth Palace was the largest sect in Autumn Moon City. Gu Yun Er was the daughter of the palace master, so her position in the Bei Gong clan was naturally not the same. Furthermore, Bei Gong Er’s talent in alchemy was not bad, so the Bei Gong family treated her like a treasure.

Gu Yun Er was initially upset that Bei Gong Ao had married Yin Lan. So, she stripped her of the position of first wife and even abused the mother and child trio.

The Bei Gongh clansmen all closed one eye towards this. Because they were unable to obtain the secret of the Yin Clan, the contrast in position between Yin Lan and Gu Xin Er was like heaven and hell.

Furthermore, Yin Lan had ever obtained the support of her Clan when she married him. As such, no matter how she suffered in the Bei Gong clan, she never complained to her clan.

Who would have thought that Gu Yun Er’s maltreatment towards them would eventually turn into house arrest in order to prevent her from notifying the Yin Clan, who would then come to make trouble at the Bei Gong clan. The Yin Clan was a huge clan, afterall. It wouldn’t be good if they made trouble.

Afterwards, Bei Gong Tang’s uncle helped them to escape. It was then that Meng Ji helped them to escape into Yilin continent and entered into a deep sleep.

When speaking of her uncle, Bei Gong Tang’s tone was gentle. He was the only one who treated her and her family well. He was the one who had secretly given Meng Ji to her. However, thinking about how he had gotten injured when he had helped her escape, she wondered how he was doing.

Inside an inn in Autumn Moon City, everyone came out. They heard Bei Gong Tang tell her story and everyone’s heart hurt for her.

“In the past, I had always lived in the back courtyards in the Bei Gong clan. We would be confined day and night, so I only know the people from the Bei Gong Clan. At that time, I had never even gone to the front courtyards of the Bei Gong Clan. Furthermore, when others were born, they were at least a spirit overlord, while I was just a spirit warrior. As such, I was always treated as trash.”

“You merely had a lower starting point than others, but your talent is pretty good. I believe that you are definitely stronger than that Bei Gong Er.” Fatty Qu said.

From the very beginning, Bei Gong Tang had not spoken much about her own life. Although they knew that she had escaped, they did not know how cruel her past was.

“You’ve already left that place for tens of years. We don’t know how things are here either. You should stay here, we’ll go out and listen around. We’ll update you once we’re back.” Wei Zi Qi said.

“Bei Gong, have you thought of looking for the Yin Clan?” Sima You Yue asked.

Bei Gong Tang shook her head, saying, “The Yin Clan and Bei Gong Clan are in the same city. Even if the Bei Gong Clan wanted to hide news of us, as long as the Yin Clan had any interest, they would be able to check it out. However, they didn’t. This proved that they no longer treated us as family. Back then, Mother did not ask the Yin Clan for help, so naturally, neither will I acknowledge them.”

“What if they’re like the Lian Clan? What if their news got intercepted?” Sima You Le asked.

Bei Gong Tang was stunned. She had never thought of this possibility. She had always hated the Yin Clan and never thought this way.

“Lian Hong’s situation is different from mine. His father was kicked out, and he was very far away. However, the Yin Clan is in the same city as the Bei Gong Clan. As long as they wanted to, how could it be possible.”

As everyone thought about it, they felt that she made sense, so no longer spoke about it.

Sang Mu Yu went forward and embraced Bei Gong Tang, saying, “You’re a good girl. Your mother and brother are definitely alive. They’re waiting for you to save them.”

“Aunty, I’ll have to trouble you to stay here and accompany Bei Gong Tang. We’re going to split up and head outside to see how the Bei Gong clan is doing.”

“Alright, go ahead.” Sang Mu Yu said.

Little Tu nodded his head solemnly as well, saying, “Big Brother, relax. I will protect Sister Bei Gong.”

“Alright, then we’ll be heading out.” Sima You Yue said to everyone.

After leaving the inn, everyone split up and went to different places to scout for information. Because the Bei Gong Clan, Yin Clan and the Earth Palace were the three big bosses in this area, everyone would be discussing about them all the time. It wasn’t difficult to obtain the information about them.

Of course, some information were considered classified, and nobody breathed a word about that.

Furthermore, Yin Lan and Bei Gong Tang were considered as classified information. Nobody dared say another word once they heard the name Yin Lan.

After going around, nobody managed to get any substantial information.

Sima You Yue released a few hundred scarlet bees and got them to disguise themselves as normal bees. She got them to obtain some information in various places, releasing the most number of bees in the areas of the three powers.

At night, Sima You Yue was currently talking to Bei Gong Tang when she suddenly jolted. Her eyes flashed wish disbelief, and after pondering about it for a bit, looked at Bei Gong Tang with some heartache.

“Did something happen to my mother and brother?” Bei Gong Tang saw the way Sima You Yue was acting, and immediately felt uneasy.

Sima You Yue did not know what to say, and it seemed as though her earlier confidence was gone.

“You Yue, tell me. I can handle it.” Although Bei Gong Tang spoke this way, the cup in her hands was trembling.

“Bei Gong. After saving you that year, your… your uncle died. You brother and mother… also died a few years ago.”

Bei Gong Tang’s face burned with hatred and she didn’t even feel a thing as the newly poured tea poured onto her wound.

Sima You Yue saw the way Bei Gong Tang was acting, and said anxiously, “Bei Gong, this is the news that the Yin Clan received. It’s possible that the Bei Gong Clan intentionally released this bit of news.”
