“They want to go to the Pei Family with me,” replied Pei Yucheng.
“T-Then are all of you going together?” asked Lin Yan.
Pei Yucheng shook his head. “I didn’t agree.”
Lin Yan was puzzled. Weren’t Pei Nanxu and Pei Yutang part of the Pei Family? Even if they hadn’t evolved, were they not allowed to step into the Pei Family’s residence?
Could this evolved being’s family be so cold and heartless? It was rather chilling. No matter what, they were descendants, and blood was thicker than water.
Pei Yucheng noticed that something was wrong with Lin Yan’s expression. “You’re thinking that evolved beings are heartless and devoid of kinship.”
Lin Yan glanced at Pei Yucheng.
Could his evolution ability be mind reading?
He could even tell what she was thinking. Was her reaction that obvious?
Of course, since Pei Yucheng had sensed it, Lin Yan replied bluntly, “That’s what I thought. Don’t evolved beings have kinship?”
“No.” Pei Yucheng put down the document in his hands and stared at Lin Yan. “This is precisely because of kinship.”
“Because of kinship?”
Lin Yan was even more confused when she heard Pei Yucheng.
They chased away descendants who weren’t evolved beings because of kinship?
“Evolved beings are extremely dangerous. Because of the inheritance rights, they fight both openly and secretly. Those who aren’t evolved beings don’t have to get involved and suffer,” Pei Yucheng explained.
“Is that so…” Lin Yan fell into deep thought.
“Besides, hidden dangers aside, the external dangers are even deadlier. The conflict between the two factions will put the non-evolved faction in an even more dangerous situation. Therefore, almost all the evolved being factions send their non-evolved descendants away, thus ensuring that they will never have to worry about food or clothing,” explained Pei Yucheng.
Lin Yan fell into deep thought.
Pei Yucheng’s explanation made sense.
When it came to a large clan like evolved beings, there was indeed a risk that many ordinary people couldn’t see. It would actually be good if they could send away the non-evolved descendants who didn’t have the ability to protect themselves and ensure that they didn’t have to worry about food or clothing.
From the looks of it, she had misunderstood the evolved beings’ families.
“Therefore, I don’t want Yutang and the rest to interact too much with the Pei Family. The more they interact, the more dangerous it will be. I can’t always be by their side to protect them. Even my father is the same,” Pei Yucheng explained.
“Okay, I understand. If you want to go back, you’ll have to be careful and cautious.” Lin Yan glanced at Pei Yucheng, looking worried.
Pei Yucheng had mentioned earlier that the Pei Family was embroiled in hidden and open strife because of the family’s inheritance.
“It’s fine. Who would care about an exiled young man?” Pei Yucheng chuckled softly.
Lin Yan was speechless…
At the mention of exile, Lin Yan recalled Tang Rong’s words. No matter what Pei Yucheng said, she still felt uneasy.
…
The next morning, Pei Ze arrived at Cloud Manor. He and Pei Yucheng left for the Pei Residence shortly.
Pei Ze didn’t explain why the Pei Family had sent Pei Yucheng back. Perhaps even Pei Ze didn’t know.
After Pei Yucheng left, Lin Yan headed to the office.
…
On the way, she spotted two familiar faces.
“F*ck… Why are they still lingering around?”
