My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 661 Once
The remains of Shen Chong's mother and brother were found not long ago.

Perhaps Zhou Tianhai's threat to dig up the remains of his mother and brother was just a harsh statement.
But some people took it seriously.

And carry it out diligently.

That person,
It's the First Madam, Zhou Yi!
Filled with boundless hatred for Shen Chong, Zhou Yi and her men actually dug up the remains of Shen Chong's two closest relatives.

And that's still not enough to quell his anger.
She threw them all into the public latrines in the mortal quarter.
Despite having killed Zhou Tianhai and wiped out the Zhou family, Shen Chong retaliated with unprecedented ruthlessness and cruelty.

But obviously,
What has happened cannot be changed.

What he could do

All they could do was collect the remains of their two closest relatives one by one and clean them thoroughly.

"My brother has always been very good to me since I was little."

Shen Chong suddenly spoke,
It's like talking to yourself.

“When I was very young, I was in poor health. In order to please the First Madam, the servants in the family deliberately cut back on our living supplies. I could only get less than one-tenth or one-twelfth of the medicinal herbs I needed to nourish my body. When my mother went to make a fuss, she was instead punished by the First Madam with a light sentence of being disrespectful and forced to kneel for three days.”

"At that time, my brother would run outside the city and go into the mountains to search for medicinal herbs for me, set traps to kill wild animals, and nourish my body."

"Later, my brother successfully cultivated his Qi and became a cultivator. He obtained some cultivation resources from the family and also found some spiritual herbs in the mountains. But he used all of these on me."

"If it weren't for that, my brother would probably have already advanced to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

"Our situation in the compound was actually not good."

"My mother came from a humble background. She was once a famous courtesan in a mortal country. It is said that when Shen Fuxing traveled to that country, he was attracted by her beauty and took her into his room."

"That's why my brother and I were among the lowest-ranking children of royal ladies from mortal kingdoms, and we were often bullied by others."

“Every time that happened, my brother would stand in front of me and beat them up even if it meant getting bruised and battered.”

Shen Chong held two urns in his arms, his back straight. He gazed at the deep, boundless starry sky above and muttered to himself, his words filled with memories.

Memories from many years ago flashed before his eyes one by one.

There was a moment when
He even felt as if his two closest relatives were still standing beside him in this cold Shen family compound.

Time seemed to stand still.

just,

Shen Chong sighed.

He actually knows it very well.

all of these,
It was all just his illusion.

What's past is past.

The older brother who always gave him all the good things and lied to him that his older brother had already eaten, and the mother who always had a gentle smile on her face, are both dead.

He has been dead for nearly forty years.

Now all that remains are these two boxes in my arms, containing a handful of ashes that float lightly to the ground.
Those memories are ultimately left in the past.

Behind him,

Shen Changchuan remained silent and did not speak.

Listen quietly to what the other person has to say.

The predecessor did indeed have memories of the two brothers when he was a child.

In those memories,
The other siblings, seeing the two brothers, often looked down on them, mocking them as bastards and scum, and bullying them in various ways.

then,

The two brothers are either fighting or on their way to fighting.

He and his other adopted siblings were constantly fighting, almost every three days for a minor brawl and every five days for a major one, and Shen Chong's older brother was almost always there to shield him. However,

Those siblings whose mothers came from privileged backgrounds were undoubtedly more powerful.

As a result, the two brothers had wounds on their faces almost every day.
Shen Changchuan did not get involved in this.

In fact,
His mother was merely a commoner from a wealthy local family.
Their social status wasn't particularly high either.

Who has the right to join or participate in bullying?
even,
If it weren't for Shen Chong and his brothers, and if Shen Chong's mother hadn't been a courtesan,
He's probably the one being bullied and harassed by those so-called noble ladies and descendants of royalty!
The First Madam bullied and made things difficult for them.
They then go and bully the weaker ones!
The two Shen brothers, whose mother came from the lowest social class, naturally became the best targets for their venting.
Or perhaps,
Back then, he didn't join in the bullying and mistreatment of the two brothers by their blood relatives.

That's why Shen Chong treats me differently, right?

Shen Changchuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

It is said that

Since his own rise to power, and Shen Chong's rise to prominence.

The lives of the other illegitimate sons and daughters were not so easy.

Madam Zhou Yi was both on guard and venting her anger, directing it at the other illegitimate sons and daughters.

For those people,

He deserved it, I suppose.

"I'm ready to leave."

Shen Chong suddenly spoke.

Shen Changchuan snapped out of his daze and looked up.

At this moment, the other person had completely concealed the sadness emanating from them; their straight back conveyed a sense of loneliness and solitude.

But Shen Changchuan could also sense the unwavering determination in the other party.

Perhaps it was his experiences in his youth that forged his unwavering and resilient spirit.

Before Shen Changchuan could think any further,
Then Shen Chong continued speaking:

"Now that I have advanced to the Divine Travel Realm, there is little point in staying in this world any longer."

“Zhou Yi, that bitch, is dead, but this is not over yet. One day, I will set foot on their Zhou family’s ancestral land and trample them under my feet.”

"You don't need to worry about the Zhou family's possible retaliation. I will draw all the hatred away."

"But there's one thing I hope you can help me with."

"Brother, please speak freely."

Shen Changchuan did not hesitate at all.

Speaking of,
Along the way, Shen Chong had also provided him with considerable assistance.

But it seems I've never done anything to repay the other party.

Shen Changchuan was not an ungrateful person. Now that the other party had a request, and it didn't seem to be something that would put him in a difficult position, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

What Shen Changchuan didn't see was that
When he agreed without hesitation, a slight smile appeared on Shen Chong's face as he turned his back to Shen Changchuan, but it quickly disappeared.

Swish!
A storage bag was tossed towards Shen Changchuan.

Shen Changchuan instinctively caught it.
Look up at the other person.

He looked puzzled, weighing the storage bag in his hand. What did this mean?
"There are 20,000 high-grade spirit stones in here, which I obtained from Zhou Tianhai's spoils of war."

"Here, consider this your payment for asking you to help me."
