Chapter 380 -379: How Did He End Up Having Such a Bastard Child

Luo Yicheng looked steadily at his father.

“Where is my daughter? Did she come to the island?”

Several years ago, he had heard news that red coral from previous years had been discovered underwater near an island, so he immediately set out for that place.

Little did he know, he had fallen into a trap. There was no red coral beneath that island at all; instead, it was a snare.

At the time, he managed to escape the plot but sustained some injuries. He had intended to rush back home, but on the way, he encountered a ship from the Luo Family.

Then he was recognized and forcibly taken back home by the Family’s elders.

Even though they knew he already had a family of his own, his parents still insisted on forcing him to marry his elder sister-in-law.

He disagreed, and they threw him into the Forbidden Land to be detained.

At that time, he truly felt like going mad; he missed his wife and children terribly.

But his parents were serious this time; as long as he didn’t agree to marry his sister-in-law, they wouldn’t let him out.

Initially, he was very anxious and held a sliver of hope that his parents would release him once they realized his determination.

But he had underestimated their resolve and authoritarianism—they completely disregarded his feelings, determined to keep him locked up for life if he didn’t marry.

He became thoroughly disillusioned with his parents.

Having already run away for over twenty years, and given the fact that during his childhood all the parental care and teaching had been focused on his older brother, it was his grandma who raised him and his sister. Thus, the last bit of familial affection was finally worn away after he was detained in the Forbidden Land by his parents.

He simply could not accept that despite knowing he had a wife and children, his parents and the high-ranking members of the family still pressured him to marry into and have children with another branch of the family.

From that time on, he understood that it was better to rely on oneself than on others.

Since they were not going to release him from the Forbidden Land, he decided to break free of the constraints and escape by himself.

Thus, he forcibly calmed his mind and immersed himself in cultivation.

As time passed, his longing for his wife and children did not fade; rather, it deepened.

He became even more resolute in his determination to break out of this prison on his own.

Once he got out by himself, he and the Luo Family would go their separate ways.

What he hadn’t expected was that his father would bring up his daughter, and this caused his originally calm heart to become anxious.

Family Head Luo saw the nervous and anxious look on his son’s face and felt a blockage in his heart.

He had just mentioned that his wife was sick, and his son hadn’t shown any concern.

Whenever his wife was ill in the past, his son would always show care and filial piety.

“She’s fine; the legitimate daughter of the Lou Family took her back to the Lou Family for a visit.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yicheng knew his daughter was safe and his tension eased, “My daughter gets along well with everyone.”

Family Head Luo couldn’t help but say irritably, “Your mother is sick, and you don’t seem to care.”

Luo Yicheng spoke with a hint of sarcasm, “Mother falling ill or fainting isn’t new; it happens often. Whenever she’s unhappy or someone goes against her wishes, she gets ‘sick’.”

“So father is becoming more and more senile, but I don’t believe for a second you can’t see through this charade.”

“But if you’re willing to turn a blind eye and indulge her, that’s your business—after all, she’s your wife, and you can spoil her however you see fit.”

“However, it would be wise not to overreach.”

“To tell you the truth, I used to care about her, but I never saw her show concern for me.”

“Oh, wait, that’s not right—if I were willing to be her puppet and listen to everything she said, she probably would bestow some affection on me.”

He had given up on maternal love in his youth, and now at this age, he couldn’t care less about it.

What “for the good of the Luo Family”, making him father a child with good bloodlines, was nothing but a cover for their own selfish desires. He had seen through it all long ago.

Having his points laid bare, the Family Head’s face struggled to maintain composure.

“You rebellious child, what are you even saying?”

“Your mother was never in good health to begin with, especially after your elder brother passed away, she has never been able to get over it.”

“Can’t you just comply with her for once?”

“We’re not asking you to abandon your wife and child, just to inherit two branches. Once you’ve fathered a child for the main branch, you can do whatever you want. How has it become puppetry in your mouth?”

Luo Yicheng sneered, “So the child I father will really belong to the main branch? If you take it for a paternity test, can you prove it’s my elder brother’s child?”

“I really can’t understand why you always want me to cuckold my brother when you say you loved him so much.”

“And that sister-in-law who is so in love with my elder brother insists on making it seem as if the child I father is my brother’s. Such absurdities would make anyone laugh their teeth off if they heard it.”

He said firmly, “You’re all just acting on your own selfish desires and authority, wanting me to abandon my wife and child. Don’t even think about it.”

Family Head Luo was so angered, “Inheriting two branches has been a tradition since ancient times, but when it comes to you, it is turned into making your brother wear a green hat. You really can’t spit anything good out of a dog’s mouth.”

Luo Yicheng rolled his eyes, “Dad, you’re great. Why don’t you spit out some ivory for me to see?”

Toward his parents, ever since his expectations had turned cold, he had let go of himself.

If not marrying his sister-in-law was unfilial, then he was prepared to be unfilial to the end.

Family Head Luo never expected his son to be so sarcastic toward him, shakingly pointing his finger at Luo Yicheng, “You… you unfilial wretch.”

Luo Yicheng said with a helpless look on his face, “You’ve repeated that so many times, can’t you come up with something new? You might not find it trite, but my ears are about to develop calluses.”

“You!” The Family Head Luo truly wanted to vomit blood.

This son had always been a handful, pretending to be less talented than he actually was, running away from home at the slightest disagreement, and having a sharp tongue that stung. He was driving him to an early grave.

His face burning with rage, he said, “If I had known you’d turn out like this, I should have flushed you down the toilet when you were born.”

Luo Yicheng shrugged, “It’s too late for regrets now, Dad. But if you ever have another child, you might consider trying to flush it right away.”

“The precondition being, that you guys can still bear children,” he added.

Family Head Luo couldn’t bear to stay another minute, fearful that his son’s words would give him a heart attack.

“You rebellious child, I see you haven’t reflected on your behavior at all during these years in the Forbidden Land. If so, continue staying there.”

Luo Yicheng scoffed, “As long as I don’t agree to your demands of inheriting two branches, I can’t leave anyway. Why pretend to be so noble about it.”

“I’ve always thought I was shameless, but now I realize I must have inherited it from you and Mother’s genes, only I’m still much less so than you.”

“Looks like I need to work harder and improve my shamelessness skills.”

Old Master Luo was infuriated again. How on earth did he end up fathering such a disgrace?

“You, you…”

Before he could finish, a maid’s urgent voice suddenly came from outside, “Madam, madam, what’s wrong with you?”

“Madam has fainted, hurry and inform the Family Head.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yicheng knew his mother had followed his father and had been eavesdropping outside, only to faint from his words.

With a trace of amusement, he looked at his father and said, “Your wife has passed out again, better go and comfort her, or else you’ll be kneeling on an abacus tonight.”

Family Head Luo truly wished he could thrash this disobedient child, “Rebellious child, keep reflecting, or else you’ll stay in the Forbidden Land for life and never step out.”
