1022 Words
When Meng Yu looked into the bowl, what he saw in the reflection was a face that was filled with black lines. The black lines on the white skin indeed looks horrible but....
Meng Yu narrowed his eyes. This doesn't look like in born thing, but more like poison. But the most important part is, this poison does no harm to the body except for leaving black lines. So the person who used the poison doesn't want to harm the original owner, it was more like they have other purpose, such as hiding his face.
So now the question is who used this poison and what was their purpose. While Meng Yu was deep in thought he suddenly felt his head hurt and suddenly many memories that doesn't belong to him appeared on his head.
Meng Yu can only sigh after he went though all the memories. This world is different from earth. Here although there is still imperial power but there are more powerful existence known as cultivators. From the original's memory he can know that, even the king of the country would be respectful when meeting a cultivator.
One can imagine how much everyone in this world want to become a cultivator but its a pity that only one in thousand can become a cultivator. Every family with some wealth would check the aptitude of the children as soon as they are born with soul stone.
There are totally seven levels in soul stone which can be differentiated with colors. Red is the lowest and common to all people, followed by orange which is also a basic requirement to become a cultivator, then yellow, green, blue, indigo and finally the legendary purple. The higher the level, the longer they go in cultivation path.
The original owner also had the same name as him and he was first son of Meng Feng, the current prime minister of QingAn country.
It was originally supposed to be a glorious life to be the eldest son of prime minister, but its a pity that the original owner's mother turned to be just a concubine. Eldest son of a family born out of concubine was a huge disgrace for the family, but Meng Feng spoiled the original owner's mother very much, so no one dared to say anything.
Even when the main wife made a fuss, she was scolded by Meng Feng for not being virtuous. With the protection of Meng Feng, the original owner was finally born. Its a pity that the original was born with this kind of look and what more when he was checked for aptitude, the soul stone doesn't even react. One should know that the soul stone shows red to even common people, so not even getting a reaction can only mean that he was waste among waste.
No matter how much Meng Feng loved his concubine, he cannot accept a son like this. What more he felt that the original was not even his own child, so he became cold to both the original mother and son. How much he pampered the concubine before was how much he hated them. The main wife and other concubines took to chance to vent their anger on them.
The original's mother was from common family. She was very beautiful from young and pampered everywhere. Where had she experienced such a hard life. She blamed all this on the original and scolded him always for everything. When the original was five, she ran away with a guard.
His own concubine ran away with another man. Meng Fang had became a huge laughing stock in the country. The original hate with new hate, Meng Feng who can't find the original's mother can only turn his hatred to Meng Yu. But he can't do anything to the original because in everyone's eyes, Meng Yu was his son. If he chased away his son, although no one would say anything in front of him, but people would definitely talk behind his back.
Meng Feng, who loves face, can never do that. But he turned blind eye to all the bullying his children and wife done to the original.
The Meng Yu, who grew up in this environment lacked courage and self esteem. He would shiver as soon as he see anyone. Even the servants can bully him. He would just cry and shiver when people curse or scold him.
Yesterday the original was pushed into the lake by the third young miss of Meng family, Meng Xie. He was only rescued when he was nearly frozen to death. After that no one cared about him and the original, who had high fever and no treatment passed away.
As for how he came into this world, Meng Yu looked at his finger. A simple ring was sitting on his ring finger. This ring was something his grandfather give him on his death bed and forced him to wear it on his ring finger saying never to remove it. Before he would ask any question, he took his last breath.
This ring must be the reason for him to come here because from the memories he know the original owner never had any ring on him.
What more he have a feeling that this ring is not simple. Even when he was in earth he had this feeling, but he trust his grandfather must have a reason for giving this ring to him so he never removed it.
He planned to examine the ring later as he now have to go for the palace. The day before Meng Feng called all the family members on a meeting and said that the king suddenly asked him to bring every the younger generation of the Meng family to the palace.
No one knows the reason for the kings order, so everyone in the family were pretty nervous. Meng Yu looked at his face again on the water mirror, no longer nervous as before. He can cure this poison easy so he felt nothing while looking at the face.
He tidied up his cloths and walked out of his courtyard........
