Nuwa studied the figure of her apprentice who was more like a son to her before she narrowed her eyes for a brief moment seeing the distressed look on his face.

'Did the meeting with his birth family shake him that much?'

Ryuu blinked as he quickly stood up before bowing as he spoke, "It is good to see you teacher, though why are you here?"

Nuwa could feel the bitterness in his voice as she replied back to him, "Can we not visit our disciple?"

"Of course teacher you can visit me anytime you want I was just surprised."

Nuwa occupied the chair that Ryuu had placed for her while Ryuu occupied another as Nuwa spoke, "You seemed quite distressed Ryuu, we know that you know we have been watching over the entire proceeding but even then we wish to hear it from you."

Ryuu looked towards the ground as he spoke with a sigh, "What is there to speak about, you have already seen and heard everything."

"How did it feel when you learned about their identity?"

"I was shocked at first then annoyed, yes annoyed and few times a bit angry at them but nothing else."

Nuwa tilted her head as she spoke, "We saw that and we were a bit astonished that you did not show any outright hatred for them."

Ryuu paused for a moment before he spoke, "I do not feel any hatred for them."

His words made Nuwa frowned as Ryuu continued to speak, "All I felt was annoyance and indifference, at the end of the day I do not care about them."

"We remember a time when a single mention of them would make you erupt like a volcano."

Ryuu looked up towards the ceiling as he spoke, "Yes, I used to hate them even if I did not know how they looked who they are, I hated them with every fiber of my being but then I learned something valuable.", he looked at his teacher directly into her eyes as he spoke, "Hatred is a shackle that burns you from the inside, it gives you the illusion that it makes you stronger but it at the end of the day it simply burns you out and chains you down."

"If I had given to hatred I would be a bitter and spiteful being with trash cultivation level, the hate in me was slowing me down, it was affecting my Dao heart and thereby preventing me from achieving my true goal in life."

"I promised mother to be the strongest cultivator and if I followed the path of hatred I doubt I would be able to keep my promise to my mother, as such over the years I managed to find peace within myself and my hatred for them, and I believe I succeeded owing to the fact that after for the first time I had finally met them I did not act with immense hatred except for being annoyed with them."

"So you will forgive them."

Ryuu looked scandalized at the thought of it as he quickly spoke, "No I will not, though I will only get my dues and justice and not try to pursue revenge."

Nuwa had a proud look on her face as she spoke, "You do us proud Ryuu, your mother would be so happy to see how you have grown to be such a fine cultivator, no a fine man."

Ryuu blushed under the praise as he ducked his head as Nuwa continued to speak, "Though I am curious justice could be exacted by various means you could have banned them from doing business with you but why did you not do as such."

Ryuu blinked owlishly at that as he spoke, "I forgot."

Nuwa simply deadpanned upon hearing his reply as she spoke with disbelief, "Really."

Ryuu gave a nod as he spoke with a shrug, "Even if I remembered it, it would not do any good as this is not related to Shangri-la, as such it would be abuse of power, but more importantly if I am to borrow the words of my third mistress, 'Sometimes it is better to keep your enemies alive than to give them mercy of death', as such I will punish them slowly."

"I see then what about those who attacked your mother, who is responsible for your aunt's death and your mother's condition before she died, what about them?"

Ryuu frowned as he spoke, "Did you not kill them?"

Nuwa gave a nod as she spoke, "Of course we did kill those who were present but they were not the only one who was involved, fortunately for them they were not present there."

Ryuu's eyes harden as he spoke, "Teacher during my mother's death I was but a child, a rather distraught child there were many things she told me some of them I might not remember due to my grief so can you please tell me everything, everything you know about the incident that led to my mother's death."

Meanwhile, outside Ryuu's room Yamamoto stood guard, he was asked specifically to prevent anyone from entering, but he soon found face to face with Yu Wu.

"Is something the matter deputy? Is there something wrong that requires His Highness's immediate attention like the existence of the branch being threatened?"

Yu Wu shook her head as she spoke, "No senior, there is nothing of that sort happening."

"Then you may leave, please come back later."

Yu Wu looked towards Yamamoto as he spoke, "Actually senior can I ask you something."

Yamamoto frowned as he spoke, "I will try to answer the best of my abilities though nothing confidential."

With a brief nod, Yu Wu continued, "Actually Senior I wanted to know who was that Senior who arrived just now you went out to greet her personally."

"Ah, you remember once I told you about Ryuu's teacher."

As Yu Wu nodded Yamamoto continued with a smile, "She is here to visit him."

Yu Wu's eyes travelled towards the door before she spoke, "Also about the business about the business with the Vance clan what happened?"

Yamamoto sent a curious look at her as he spoke, "Ho, how much did you actually hear?"
