Far lower than the average young master's share, the time to practice, and the difficult journey on the alchemy path... Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the fifth son's journey has been too difficult, but he has never received fair treatment commensurate with his own.
But the fifth son's special status also destined that he could not enjoy the same treatment as the ordinary son of the head of the family.
Although after all these years, the Fifth Army has almost dealt with the row that had the most violent reaction back then, the villains have been cleared away, and some of the obstacles have been eliminated, there are still many people lurking in secret. .
What a huge family the fifth family is? Even within the clan, forces from all sides are intertwined and cannot be easily moved.
The fifth Ying had only cleaned up the superficial part before, and had not touched the part that was of real benefit, so the resistance was very small.
But those people still exist after all. Although the fifth son's life experience has not been put on the table, and has even been kept secret by some people for some reasons, his life experience is still a stain that is difficult to conceal.
If he was asked to live too smoothly, even if they could do it, some people would be dissatisfied. It would be bad if it caused another commotion.
What's more, Fifth English not only has this kind of pressure from the "external", but also has extremely internal pressure.
Xu Yue is also a big problem.
The two sisters Xu Lei and Xu Yi left happily, leaving behind two young sons who were waiting for him to be fed, and a brother-in-law who was a headache for him to deal with... I really don't know if he owed their family anything in his previous life.
Back then, Wu Ying had to send his child to a small courtyard to fend for himself because of Xu Yue. Even so, it was half a year later that Wuying saw his eldest son again. Compared with his mild-tempered father-in-law who came from a scholarly family...this brother-in-law has quite a temper.
As far as he knew, the other party had been tormenting the fifth son in the yard a lot over the years. If it weren't for his special care, the fifth son would have been tortured to death when he was a child.
After all, they are all from the same bloodline, and being able to do such cruel things proves that this person is cruel enough.
The fifth son couldn't defeat him back then, let alone now? His brother-in-law, whose skills and qualifications were outstanding, had already reached a higher level, and was not even worse than his carefully cultivated heir.
Besides, the Xu family, which settled in Yundao under the name Madam's family, is no longer what it used to be. Although their fifth family is strong, it is also connected with the aristocratic family and needs the support of the large, medium and small families below.
If Xu Yue knew that the fifth son was living so freely and freely in the main courtyard, he would probably not be able to live to adulthood.

Although he didn't carry much emotion, the fifth son still felt sour at the heart of this extremely ordinary sentence, even more uncomfortable than when he received the look just now.
"Don't call me like that!" The fifth son's voice seemed to break suddenly, and he screamed with a little control, as if he could no longer control his emotions.
Suddenly, it seemed as if all the sounds in the venue had become the background, and everything was focused on the young man in the middle. There was a dark light between the opponent's eyebrows and eyes, with a sharp edge, as if he was ready to stab others or even himself at any time.
"Stop calling me like that, I'm not Xiaozi! This is not my name, I'm not Xiaozi, and I'm not the fifth son. I don't have a name, so get out of here -"
"Hahaha, little bastard, what's your name? Where did you hear it?" The drunken man seemed to have heard some big joke, and he pushed away the approaching head "gently" .
He seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile that never faded.
"What? Reading? Why do you need to read..." The sloppy man sneered and poured wine into his mouth.
"Don't, don't bother me, I told you it's gone. Isn't that your name, little bastard? Get out of here!"
"It seems that I've been really good to you recently. Don't show up in front of me again these days. If I hear you thinking about those messy things again, watch your legs!"
"roll--"
…
"What's your name? Well...do you have a name?"
"Zi? Is this the name you gave yourself? No. Did that man name it for you?"
"Do you want to change?"
"No? You like it, but it's hard to tell the difference. I'll give you a nickname. I'll think about it when I get back..."
"I remember that there was a catalpa tree in the small courtyard where you grew up. I went there that day and saw its lush branches and leaves. It was very spectacular. The catalpa tree is upright, noble, and has a long life. It is as long as a hundred trees... It would be better to give you a name. Xiaozi, how are you?"
"good."
————————————————————
"You are." The young man said quietly, not paying attention to the other party's madness.
"I gave you this nickname."
This name was given to the fifth son by Wu Ying.
The fifth son seemed to have heard something that was difficult for him to accept. He kept shaking his head, as if he was trying desperately to get rid of something.
"Impossible!" His eyeballs were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and his voice changed slightly.
The fifth son glared at the only True Lord Yun Mao who was still standing, his nostrils flaring angrily, his pupils dilated continuously, and his whole person looked frightened and extremely angry.
impossible. This name was given to him by Fifth Purple. He still clearly remembers the words the other party said at that time, and even the curvature of the corners of the other party's mouth at that time.
How could it be possible that it was caused by him, as Wu Ying said?
How could this person get involved in anything related to him if he hated him so much? impossible! It must be a lie made up by the other party in order to deceive him and give him the final blow.
"... Its branches are lush and leafy, which is very spectacular. The catalpa tree is upright, noble, and has a long life. It is as long as a hundred trees... How about naming you Xiaozi?" The young man narrated this passage in a smooth tone. Words spoken many years apart.
The image of the young man overlapped with that of the man many years ago, which made Wu Wu feel a little dazed for a while.
The fatal pressure in his chest seemed to be faintly withdrawn, but it became more and more uncomfortable, as if something was pressing on his chest, making him unable to breathe.
"These are my exact words, and I am relaying them to you at the tomb. Except... I treat you no differently than other brothers."
Except for the six years he had to leave at the beginning, he actually did his best for his son, but he just didn't like him that much.
But after all, the other party's identity is embarrassing, and he can't get everything so openly like other children, so he has to take his time.
What the fifth son saw was only what he saw, but he could only go so far.
What he could give to this child was far more than the fifth son imagined, but still far less than he thought. There's no way around it——
