Upon hearing this declaration, Bi Yuntian’s face grew even more pale to the point that it was almost devoid of color. Looking at Jian Chen dumbfounded, she muttered, “That’s…that’s…not possible…how can Xiang’er…be a cripple…?” Right as she finished, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and crumpled down to the ground from her chair. For her son that was widely regarded as a genius to suddenly be found as a cripple, she couldn’t handle this shocking news at all. No mother in the continent would be able to, let alone a member of a very prestigious clan.
As everyone that had gathered around heard the results, they all gasped and looked at Jian Chen with pity and disappointment. Jian Chen’s aunts Yu Feng Yan and Ling Long on the other hand, let loose a breath of air. Seeing the mother and son’s unfortunate situation, the two aunts couldn’t help but rejoice silently to themselves.
“Ah, fourth sister…fourth sister, what’s wrong? Fourth sister, please wake up! Fourth Sister, please…please wake up!” Rushing to her side, Bai Yushuang anxiously tried to awaken the unconscious Bi Yuntian, but to no avail.
Hearing Bai Yushuang’s frantic yells, Changyang Ba immediately bounded over to Bi Yuntian and began to cry out, “Shuang Er, bring Yun Er to her bed!”
Even Jian Chen had rushed to his mother’s side without paying attention to anyone else. His right hand was already pressed against his mother’s wrist to check for her pulse. It took a few precious seconds, but he had eventually confirmed that his mother was in no immediate danger.
Jian Chen looked at his disappointed father amongst the crowd, and even he had felt helpless secretly. With a small sigh, he followed Bai Yushuang who was carrying his mother out of the hall.
“Ai…” Watching Jian Chen leave, Changyang Ba’s face clearly had a look of extreme disappointment. He had placed high hopes on Jian Chen before, but as the expectations were very high, so was the later disappointment. With this result in the end, his fourth son Xiang Tian was merely a cripple.
“Clan head, don’t pay too much attention to this. Although the fourth master cannot cultivate Saint Force, it doesn’t mean he isn’t a genius in other aspects or fields.” A young male clan member tried to console him.
Changyang Ba waved his hand and said sadly, “Let’s not mention this topic anymore. Everyone is dismissed.” Finishing his sentence, Changyang Ba stood up to leave the hall. Although he had acknowledged the fact that Jian Chen could be a genius in the other fields as said earlier, but Saint Force was the most important factor in this world, after all, strength is what mattered in the end.
The fact that the fourth son of the leader of the Changyang clan was a cripple spread throughout the Changyang mansion like wildfire. Some people regarded this new piece of information with joy while others were grievous. One thing was sure however; Xiang’er’s status in the clan would rapidly drop after this affair.
In a wide spacious room, Jian Chen sat quietly by the bedside. His tranquil face was dipped downwards and what he was thinking about was unknown to everyone else. His mother Bi Yuntian still hadn’t woke up, her eyes were still shut as she laid in bed. Aside from Jian Chen and some servant girls, only his third aunt Bai Yushuang and his second sister Changyang Mingyue were in the room.
