Chapter 228 Time will wear away everything
At the end of the season, I thought no one would care about these messy things.
But matters that really concern the patriarch are of paramount importance in every family, not to mention that such an outrageous thing happened back then.
Internal strife, greed, plunder, and hatred are the core of the Jimo family.
The images in his mind kept emerging and sinking into the sea.
Seeing Ji Mo's low mood, Ji Yun knew that her words had touched Ji Mo's sore spot.
She raised her hand and gently patted Ji Mo's back, just like when she comforted Ji Xun.
"Life is always full of unpleasant things."
"We can't resist the advent of suffering, nor can we escape the occurrence of these things, so being strong is all we can do. Sometimes laughing can make us feel better."
Ji Yun comforted Ji Mo, but this comfort made Ji Mo feel that it was more like a reason to find when facing helpless things.
Use this to make yourself feel better.
Ji Mo did not choose to do the same as Ji Yun, he just smiled bitterly a few times.
"I didn't expect that you still remember these things so clearly."
"My grandfather passed away many years ago, and my parents passed away half a year ago. I thought these past events had long since turned to dust."
Listening to Ji Mo's words, Ji Yun restrained her smile, lowered her head, and said softly:
"That's right. At least in the eyes of the people I know in the branch, these ancient things have long since turned to dust with the passing of my uncle."
"It's just that I still remember it."
Seeing that Ji Mo's rhetoric was successful, Ji Mo's eyes lit up and he asked with curiosity.
"Why do you have to remember this kind of thing?"
Ji Yun raised his head and looked at Ji Mo with a hint of apology.
"Do you really want to listen? What I'm going to say next might not be very comfortable for you."
Ji Mo nodded and smiled bitterly again.
"I've long been accustomed to the harm this kind of language causes."
Ji Yun looked at Ji Mo with pity, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.
She turned her head, looked at the starry sky, and spoke while reminiscing.
"How should I put it? Actually, the elders deliberately kept the records of the previous clan leader and my uncle vague, so there are very few records left."
"But since it happened not too long ago, many of the people who witnessed it are still alive."
"I also heard about this during a casual conversation at home."
"Later, because of my grandmother's love, I finally learned the general situation after asking again and again."
"It's probably because of seeing my uncle go from having everything to having nothing, and then from having nothing to gaining everything, and how he remained gentle even after going through all the bad things."
Ji Yun's words made Ji Mo fall into the deep sea of memories, and his father's face gradually appeared before his eyes.
Because of his departure at an early age, my father had to do everything by himself. When he left, his realm was unstable, and he even had no realm at all. He became a mortal and was busy every day making ends meet.
Begging, farming, doing odd jobs for others, helping others build houses in the fields, and then being refused payment by the black-hearted boss, not getting any of the previous wages, and even being beaten by the hired people when asking for money.
My father had experienced the mundane world and the dangers that existed in this world. Some of these experiences were told to him by my father himself, and some he heard secretly and investigated on his own.
This was the first human nature that Ji Mo came into contact with, and these seeds took root in his heart, making him clearly understand that so-called people are not trustworthy and are synonymous with cruelty and viciousness.
Especially after knowing the reason why his father was forced to leave the Ji family, Ji Mo was completely disappointed with those blood relatives, and even felt a little resentful about what happened that year.
Ji Yun continued speaking without pausing.
"Back then, the previous clan leader had been in seclusion because he was trying to break through a realm. Because he was older, breaking through was somewhat dangerous, and no one dared to go into the stone wall to confirm whether the clan leader was still alive."
"As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler, and a family cannot be without a master. With the clan leader in seclusion, all power has fallen into the hands of her four children."
"My grandmother told me that my uncle has been a bit dull since he was young. He has no interest in power and almost never pays attention to these things."
"This led to his three sisters and their husbands colluding and gradually forcing his uncle away."
"But I don't know if the reason for his realm falling is really due to the disease my uncle contracted when he was young, or if someone did it deliberately."
"My grandmother told me that the scene when my uncle was forced to leave was very ugly. Everything the clan leader left behind was looted, and my uncle was left with nothing except a worn-out piece of clothing."
"I don't know what happened after that. No one in the Ji family knew what happened to my uncle. Everyone even thought he had passed away a long time ago. It's not surprising that something happened to a mortal without any realm in this chaotic world."
"But over the years, without a backbone, the Ji family has long been in chaos due to the clan leader's three daughters and his wife."
"Until one day, the elder came out of retreat. The sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to rain."
"The elder, with a dark face, issued a proclamation in the clan hall. For some unknown reason, perhaps due to his advanced age, he did not punish his daughter and wife for their rebellion. He simply brought back his son, who had been forced away."
"After returning, my uncle no longer had the youthful innocence he had many years ago. His body was tanned and had many wounds that hadn't fully healed. But the smile on his face was the same as it was many years ago, and his gentleness remained unchanged."
"After returning, my uncle demonstrated a realm far beyond that of all his peers in the Ji family."
"My uncle was at the middle of the fourth level at that time, and was only one level away from the clan leader at the beginning of the fifth level."
"Not to mention the younger generation, even the current clan leader was only at the high fourth level at that time."
"With his absolute strength and youth, it's almost certain that my uncle will become the next clan leader."
"That's what the clan leader planned. He gradually delegated power to my uncle."
"My uncle, who possesses absolute strength and realm, has not yet avenged what happened back then."
"He didn't even bother to conduct the most basic investigation. He let go of what happened back then." "He accepted the hypocrisy of his three sisters again."
Speaking of this, Ji Yun stagnated and looked at Ji Mo.
Ji Mo closed his eyes and slowly exhaled.
Too many memories flooded his mind.
The memories aren't happy, but they're also not as painful for the season finale now.
"It's like cutting flesh with a slow knife, tormenting the end of the season bit by bit. But no matter how long the pain lasts, you'll eventually get used to it."
