Da Xuan Martial Saint-Chapter 398 - 262 No One is Born to be Above Others_3

What of the He Family? Firmly established at the pinnacle of Yu County, they had ruled over thousands of miles and held sway for over a hundred years. Yet, overnight, they crumbled to dust. It wasn’t because they had provoked some high and mighty figure, for at that time, Chen Mu was far from being such a person. They simply lacked reverence, never holding Chen Mu in high regard from beginning to end, leading to their destruction one day.

The deceased members of the He Family, He Mingxuan, He Mingzhen, He Guangzong... Perhaps even till their last moments, they could not have imagined that the ultimate fate of their family would not be destruction at the hands of the Yu Family, but by the sole hand of Chen Mu.

"I shall heed brother-in-law’s teachings with care,"

"I shall heed the great-grandfather’s teachings with care,"

Many of the Yu Family’s young boys and girls followed suit, bowing and speaking in a soft voice.

Yu Yun’s face flushed with restraint as she bowed with the others, then stammered at Chen Mu,

"Brother-in-law, I... I..."

"Just remember what I’ve said."

Chen Mu spoke to her in an even tone.

"Yes, yes."

Yu Yun nodded vigorously, aware that Chen Mu was hinting at her, but his not bringing up the past allowed the unease in her heart to ease somewhat. Her gaze towards Chen Mu was filled with reverence and a touch of admiration.

This was Chen Mu, the leader of the younger generation throughout the Cold North Eleven Northern States, a peerless figure who entered the Wind Cloud List before the age of thirty. Within the Yu Family, there was no one else with such an aura, and even now, it still felt like a dream to her.

Even.

Now, she only felt fortunate that Chen Mu was Xu Hongyu’s husband, her brother-in-law, a relative of the Yu Family. Otherwise, recalling her previous haughty and disrespectful attitude towards Chen Mu, she feared that she could have laid the roots of disaster for the whole Yu Family like the He Family had.

"Alright, as long as you’ve remembered,"

Chen Mu looked at Yu Yun, nodding slightly, then turned his attention to the others and said in a calm voice, "The same goes for all of you, don’t become arrogant and frivolous outside just because I am your brother-in-law."

The group of boys and girls responded in chorus once more.

Only then did Chen Mu avert his gaze and look towards Yu Jiujiang with a more relaxed expression, saying, "A bit of humble advice, perhaps overstepping, I hope the elder doesn’t find it amusing."

Yu Jiujiang chuckled, "The incompetent younger generation of the Yu Family can be disciplined by you at will; their elders would be too glad if you could teach them a thing or two."

"Cultivation of the mind and spirit relies on the individual; I can only offer advice and guidance."

Chen Mu smiled and then said, "Alright, I will go and speak with grandpa-in-law. I won’t bother the elder any longer."

"Mhm."

Yu Jiujiang nodded slightly.

Chen Mu turned and left the courtyard, and his figure quickly disappeared from view.

And only after Chen Mu had left did the previously tense atmosphere in the courtyard finally relax. The group of Yu Family scions, who had hardly dared to breathe earlier, now started to exhale and look at one another.

"Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, when did brother-in-law return to Yu County... He is already a Wind Cloud List master, his presence is so much more intimidating than three years ago."

"He hasn’t been back long."

Yu Jiujiang affectionately patted a little girl on the head.

Others were peeking at Yu Yun, while someone whispered beside her, "Sister Yun, brother-in-law... why did he seem so... strange with you? Was there something between you..."

"No, there was nothing."

Yu Yun responded immediately, while her mind suddenly thought of Yu Ru, feeling a bit envious. She and Yu Ru had no significant difference in their relationship with Xu Hongyu, only Xu Hongyu took more care of Yu Ru, and now Chen Mu was also much closer to Yu Ru than to her.

When she was younger, she always envied that her older siblings took better care of Yu Ru, but as she grew older, she understood more and could not feel jealous of Yu Ru any longer. After all, her own distant relationship with Chen Mu was her own fault, and with shame, she felt a sense of regret and a missed opportunity.
