The Breakup (3)
"Nianmo, it is not only because of your parents. We know that you are unusually intelligent, a gifted talent who learns quickly," Spiritual Master Yuhang explained.
"Are you treating me as a child?"
"About that…"
"Nianmo, you are only six years old," Spiritual Master Yuhang continued.
"Do I look like a six-year-old?" Shen Nianmo asked smilingly with his head tilted to the side, waiting for an answer.
"About that…"
Shen Nianmo continued coldly, "My father turned into an adult at the age of one and started traveling the world. When he became the Divine Lord, did you treat him like a one-year-old?"
Unable to find the words, Spiritual Master Yuhang did not answer.
He had briefly heard about the story of the Divine Lord, but he did not know how old he actually was when he started traveling around the world, for he never mentioned his age. Surely, without the knowledge of his actual age, no one would treat the Divine Lord like a child when he possessed the look of a grown up.
Shen Nianmo was very capable. He started building up his fame at the age of three; the continent was well aware of his presence. Even though many people had heard about him as Mr. Fuyi.
Spiritual Master Yuhang watched as the child grew up, so he would always see Shen Nianmo as a child.
"All of you have treated me differently because I am Shen Nianmo. You have disregarded how I really am and treated me like a mere child by making every decision on my behalf; but, I am who I am. I have my own ways and principles. Also, I certainly do not want to be interrupted by anyone of any means, including the lies that you make to keep me in the dark because of your personal intentions. From now on, I am Di Fuyi, not Shen Nianmo. The disciple that you want to keep is Shen Nianmo, so it has nothing to do with me anymore. Therefore, I no longer wish to visit and accept your teachings. By the way, what I have with the mysterious woman is between us. Do not get yourself concerned. It is none of your business."
All of them were utterly shocked.
"Nianmo!"Spiritual Master Yuhang started to panic.
"Call me Di Fuyi!" Shen Nianmo gave him an icy look.
"That is only your nickname, not your real identity. You are the son of the Divine Lord, how can you change your surname? It is… It is considered as sacrilege."
"My father does not even bother about it. Why should you interfere?"
"You… You… You cannot do so. I am sure the Divine Lord will never approve of it," Spiritual Master Yuhang tried to persuade him.
Di Fuyi continued scornfully, "Approving or disapproving; it is a matter between us, father and son; so, it certainly has nothing to do with you. All right, that is all that I wanted to say. Take care!"
He turned and left.
"Nianmo!"
"Nianmo!"
"Nianmo…"
They tried to call him back, but he never looked back.
Master Fengxing could not help but loudly demand, "Fuyi, you are doing so because you are indignant at the siege that we have plotted against the mysterious woman, aren't you?"
Without even looking back, Di Fuyi stopped and answered sternly, "About the siege of ten masters against a woman, is it really something to be proud of?"
The masters remained quiet. They would never work together for an ambush, but today was an exception.
"Fuyi, you do not know about the origin of the woman. I am sure she harbors evil intentions. Also, she bears extraordinary Kung Fu, almost as good as your parents. When a woman like her tries to get her hands on a child, we cannot sit and wait for it to happen. We do not want anything to happen to you. We had to do what we did," Spiritual Master Yuhang explained.
"Fuyi, the woman is truly mysterious. What if she is the descendant of Luo Jiuchen?"
