Chapter 163 To Be Your Father?
The text is from Yue Xincheng’s elder brother, Yue Tuzhi.
Gao Ge doesn’t like him. Even though Yue Xincheng is willing to think of him as a good person, but Gao Ge cannot. Gao Ge even refers to Yue Xincheng as “Brother-dying buddy” for several times.
When they used to skip class and go to the Internet café, Gao Ge always asked Yue Xincheng to play MID with a rarely used role in the “League of Legends”—Karthus.
It is only because this character is also nicknamed as Dead Chanter (whose Chinese translation is pronounced the same as a phrase which means “the elder brother is dead”)
If Yue Tuzhi knows about that, he must be rather disgruntled.

“It seems that the Yue Family has become stronger while I was away. I just arrive here and they can immediately get the information.” Gao Ge shakes his head.
This is not surprising at all.
The Ning Family has fallen apart.
The Zhao Family has a lot of property indeed, but Gao Ge believes that they are no match for Yue Tuzhi anyway.
In spite of his young age, Yue Xincheng is horribly shrewd.
For instance, if you go into the bottom of the collapse of the Ning Family, you will find that Yue Tuzhi has been a part of it.
When Gao Ge is back at home, his parents are both shocked. They hasten to ask him what has happened. Gao Ge tells them that he is on holiday so Gao Ming and Song Yun don’t ask him anymore. They are just curious why Meng Jing doesn’t come back together with Gao Ge.
Lying on the bed of his own home, Gao Ge finally has a feeling of comfort.
Whether boys or girls, when they leave their hometown someday, they will realize the happiest time is those days they spend with their parents.
Being with their parents, they can have food when they get up; they will find the fridge filled with their favorite fruits and snacks every time they open it. Yet, one day, when they need to leave their home for work, they will find that even changing a bedsheet is so difficult. They may end up being covered with the bedsheet. Besides, in the fridge there will be only some leftovers, which are takeaway meals.
It turns out that sweeping the floor every day is impossible; doing laundry on a daily basis is so annoying; cooking a meal once in a while takes quite a long time.
This is the human nature. They always don’t know what is important until they lose it, whether it is about love, kinship or friendship. They feel that there should be better things ahead. In their eyes, the sky is vast for them to explore. Yet, after they are fledged to fly, they realize that humans are complicated and the world affairs are inconstant. If they want to have freedom, they must shoulder the burden tagging along.
Rubbing his numb face, Gao Ge takes out his phone to have a look. There is still no text from the Dragon Court but the texts from Meng Jing and Yue Xincheng.
He texts them back, telling them he has been backing home safe and sound. Then he has his phone charged aside and falls asleep again.
Not a while, he is woken up the ringing phone.
He takes a look at the phone. It is a strange phone number but its domain is from Jiangnan City.
After picking up the phone, here comes the voice of Yue Tuzhi.
“Are you really not coming to catch up?”
Gao Ge hangs up without hesitation.
He also blacklists the phone number.
What is he doing? Is he a beauty? Does he have pretty legs?
Bah!
To his surprise, Yue Tuzhi calls him again with a new number soon.
This time, Gao Ge doesn’t hang up immediately. Instead, he feels a bit curious.
It seems that Yue Tuzhi has something to talk with him!
Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.
“Come to my house or I will go to your house, which one do you prefer?” Yue Tuzhi asks over the phone.
Gao Ge chooses the former one without thinking.
It is a reasonable decision.
In Gao Ge’s eyes, Yue Tuzhi is quite dangerous, whom he doesn’t want to bring home. Hence, after dressing himself up, he is about to leave the house when he finds Gao Ming with a long face on the sofa. Seeing Gao Ge walking out his room, Gao Ge hurries to ask him to go over.
“Son, tell me, how do you usually coax Meng Jing?” Gao Ge asks with a stern face.
Gao Ge is at a loss whether to cry or to laugh.
Out of his surprise, his father is troubled by such an issue. Then he says, “You may search online for some sweet words. This should work.”
Gao Ming nods his head, who has seemingly understood Gao Ge’s words.
He leaves the house and takes a taxi towards the Yue’s house.
When he arrives at the Yue’s house, surprisingly, Yue Tuzhi is playing Contra game in the living room. For a moment, Gao Ge feels his world turned upside down.
Upon seeing Gao Ge, Yue Tuzhi passes him a handle.
“Would you like to join me?”
Gao Ge snorts, “Childish.”
Yet, they are playing games in five minutes.
Yue Tuzhi gets anxious, “Are you done? If you don’t know how to play it, don’t play. Why are you borrowing a life from me after you are killed?”
“Enough. Don’t be so stingy. A life only!”
“Don’t borrow! Oh crap, don’t...”
They play the game for about two hours, during which, servants bring them beverage, snack and fruit.
Gao Ge increasingly envies the lifestyle of the rich.
Having thrown the handle aside, Gao Ge sits on the sofa and looks around.
Yue Tuzhi gives him a bottle of Coke but Gao Ge rejects it, “It is a kind of spermicide. I don’t drink that. A glass of water with wolfberry will be fine. I am not a young man now. This kind of drink is more suitable.”
Yue Tuzhi laughs and asks his servants to prepare that for Gao Ge.
Gao Ge stands up to do some stretch-up.
“Tell me, why you asked me to come over.” Gao Ge asks.
“Are you interested to become one of the Yue Family?” Yue Tuzhi asks Gao Ge with a smile.
Gao Ge is surprised, “You want me to be your father?”
Yue Tuzhi’s face clouds over with anger.
He knows that Gao Ge dislikes him and that his words are always mean. Yet, he didn’t expect that Gao Ge is so despicable.
He takes a deep breath and suppresses his anger again.
“Just cut to the chase, okay? We are not on the Jingting Mountain. In no way can we never get tired of looking at each other.” Gao Ge says peacefully.
Yue Tuzhi puts on a faint smile and nods his head to show his consent to Gao Ge’s words. Hence, he continues to say, “It is not a secret that you have been expelled from the Cultivation Academy, so I think you should rely on a school or ancient martial arts family. Otherwise, you will be obscured as an ordinary person very soon.”
Gao Ge looks at him with a shadow of a smile, saying ironically, “Are you God? Will my life be in your hand? Even if I really want to find a shelter, it doesn’t have to be the Yue Family. There are so many cultivation schools and ancient martial arts families in Huaxia. The Yue Family is only one of them.”
“However, in terms of the current situation, it is not a bad thing for you to join the Yue Family. For other ancient martial arts families or cultivation schools, your joining only makes them even better but for us, you are like fuel delivered in the snow. The meanings are distinctive. Even if I don’t say it clearly, you should know it well. Apart from that, your home is in Jiangnan City. With the Yue Family as your backing support, it will be smooth for you to give full play to your capability in Jiangnan City. I don’t like drawing the long bow but I can assure you that the Yue Family has the final say on the affairs in Jiangnan City.”
“What about the Zhao Family?”
“The Zhao Family?” Yue Tuzhi sneers, “In my view, the Zhao Family is like a locust in the late autumn, which will not last long.”
The Yue Family is at the helm of Yue Tuzhi, a young man. When he just became the master of the family, he was entrusted with a mission at a critical and difficult moment. After all, the Yue Family at that time was at the moment of crisis, when many people claimed that the Yue Family was going to collapse. Yet, under such a circumstance, Yue Tuzhi overcame all the obstacles with his righteous ardor, showing his young wildness incisively and completely.
However, the Ning Family, which could suppress the Yue Family at ease, now is already gone.
This is Yue Tuzhi’s capability.
Even though Gao Ge dislikes him, he does recognize Yue Xincheng’s capability, except that this man is too shrewd. That’s to say, if Yue Tuzhi were not so shrewd, the Yue Family would be annexed by others in the cultivation world where the competition is so fierce.
