I Am The Young Master-Chapter 29 - Xu Fen

[A/N: this might be some heavy shit for some of you. Just wanted to give a heads up.]

Inside my room, I could see an information jade.

Taking the information jade into my hands I took a deep breath.

What would the back story of this MC be? Well, there is no point in speculations when I can find the truth right after.

Injecting my Qi into the jade I looked at its contents.

The person that he was looking for is named Xu Fen.

He is one of the descendants of a branch of the Xu family. Xu family is one of the top families in the divine central continent.

Xu family, as a big family naturally has many branch families around the continent and this Xu Fen is from a branch of the Xu family in the Resha [A/N: meaning hot desert] city. Although he is from a branch of the Xu family his life was good enough to be wished by others.

His father was the branch family head in the past. At that time he was living happily with his family but things soon changed for the worst.

One time a young master of the main family come to the city for the yearly investigation. Big families like Xu and Li would send yearly investigations to branch families so that they won't sully the name of the main family and take taxes and check on their problems…

This way they would keep them in line while ensuring that no one is doing something to the branch family. If something happens to a branch family it is like a spit in the face of the main family so they have to check on them constantly with some methods, and these yearly visits are one of those methods.

As a young master was selected to come for this year's investigation, the branch family soon know about the identity of this young master. He was the grandchild of the Xu family patriarch and a womanizer.

This caused the branch family to be in an uproar. How are they supposed to handle this young master who would ask for women to be sent to him on a daily basis.

As the family head, Xu Fen's father ordered the family members to send away or hide their young daughters so that nothing could be done to them.

At the time that he ordered this, he thought that this was the best course of action but soon he would come to know that he had been digging his own grave.

Time passed and the young master from the main family come for the yearly investigation. Things went smoothly until it was the first night of the young master's stay at the branch family.

At that time, one of his retainers told him that all the young females are not present in the family residents and this is probably intentional.

After thinking about it, the young master ordered his guard to demand some women for night service from the branch family head.

The family head could only give out excuses that the young maidens are outside of resident on a journey so they don't have anyone worthy of the young master to offer. He was hinting that the married are not worthy enough for the young master so they would refrain from insulting the young master by presenting them.

Alas that the family head didn't know about the new generation fetishes.

The young master who had foreseen this kind of development had already told his retainers what to do.

The retainers told the family head that the young master knows about this matter and won't make it hard for him. As Xu Fen was happy that his plan was working they added that the young master asked for recently married women in the family.

The branch family head dug his nails in his palms from anger. He would not yield and ask them 'what is the meaning of this' but the retainers only shrugged and told him not to forget the position of the young master.

It was at that moment that he knew he fucked up. How had he found the courage to plan this when the other side's strength and influence are much more than him. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

He asked them to wait for a little for him to chose the woman for the young master but they told him that they know the young master's tastes better and they would be doing so themselves.

It was clearly a move to make the young generation of the branch family angry to attack the young master of the main family and give the young master valid reason to wipe them from the family.

He couldn't do anything but meekly nod.

He called the branch family elders and told them about the situation. They were also enraged but could only swallow their anger. They thought that it's only some young ones who now are getting the green hat so they didn't pressure any decision at that time…

Days passed and each day the young master would call for new women and each time they would be of higher standing in the branch family.

It wasn't like they would hand their wives in, but they could do nothing to stop it and the wives were threatened by the lives of their children, husband, and family so they couldn't put any resistance.

It went on with each day more and more family members being gloomy and incidents of people committing suicides were a common occurrence.

On one of the last days of the young master's stay in the branch family, it was time for the wives of elders and they could do nothing, because they did nothing when it was others turn and now that it is their turn, no one is left to help them…

If they started to protest at the first day they might have achieved something, but now nothing would come out of it because a rift has been created in the family.

The family head who was gloomier than ever know where this was going and tomorrow was his turn so he steeled himself to let her wife flee so that she won't be subject to this end.

Alas, there was one thing that he didn't consider and that was an internal betrayal.

When he was about to get her wife out of the family courtyard, the other elders appeared to stop him. They told him that this was all his plan that destroyed the family, and now he dares to run from the consequences when everyone else had to pay for his doing?

With that reasoning, they captured them both and didn't let her wife run away.

Tomorrow, it happened as they thought and the family head's wife, Xu Fen's mother was taken to the young master's chamber.

Feeling the weight of guilt on his shoulders, the family head couldn't go on and killed himself on that day. This made her wife's sacrifice for his life and their son's to be for naught.

Although the young master would threaten them with other's life, but a branch's family head's death could be bad for his image so he was angry enough to kill everyone and be done with it but the elders pleaded to him to let them live and they would cover this incident themselves.

After that, the young master killed Xu Fen's mother to make this foolproof.

As his lackeys were about to kill Xu Fen, he stopped them.

He thought it would be a waste if this incident were to be deleted from the history, so he let him live to be an example of why you wouldn't scheme against him.

He also forbids them from giving Xu Fen any kind of help and if he were to find out they did, he would make them wish for death.

After that Xu Fen had to find food by himself and at the age of 8 he was all by himself. He did what he had to do to survive and after he was more mature to understand things, he left the family to find his own way.

Nobody stopped him because everyone looked at him as a reminder of those days and wished for him to die but couldn't act on it because that was against the young master's will.

If he was to disappear by himself that would be for the best. Also, they could be sure that he would die because how can a 10-year-old survive in that desert.

Against all odds, he somehow survived and cultivated so much so that now he is a disciple of the heavenly sword sect.

In the sect, he goes by the name Jin Fen. Jin was his mother's last name.

…

'Damn…' I thought.

That was a hell of a back-story. I won't even ask how the fuck did uncle Aram find all of these out. If I ask him he would flex about his organization again.

That young master was a piece of shit for real. Well, he would get his retribution soon enough from Jin Fen if he is the MC.

Now I have to find out what makes Jin Fen special. How did he get to where he is in 5 short years…
