Path Of The Lilies 245 This Is Retribution

Except for the good news regarding Wei Yin's engagement with Chen Zi Quan, there was no other happy news that came from Wei Family Residence.

All they heard was mess after another mess.

Seeing the state of Wei Mi, the doctor knew that there was no hope for her. If only the core was still here, there should be a way to recover it. But now, it would be completely impossible. It would be good enough for her if she could keep her life because she has been weakened considerably.

The fight against Wei Liao had forced her to use a lot of power. Without her core, it drained her too much that she would need a long time to recover.

"Doctor, tell me, can she recover her core?" Wei Shang asked in an indifferent tone.

The doctor didn't know what this man was thinking from his frosty expression, but he tried to be careful in his speech. No one liked to be the one who brought bad news. "This, I'm really sorry. There's nothing that I could do." 

The apologetic tone of the doctor only made Wei Shang's heart turn even colder. His daughter was still weeping on the bed with Su Lian beside her, trying to soothe the little girl.

"Is there truly nothing?"

"If only the core is still here, even if it's taken out, there'll be some hope. But now, there's none," the doctor replied slowly. He was worried that Wei Shang would burst in anger because of the news.

Contrary to his expectation, Wei Shang didn't say anything. His eyes grew dangerously cold, but he didn't lash out to the person before him. Right now, he was feeling remorse and angry.

If Wei Liao saw the way Wei Shang acted right now, he would never have a regret for getting out of Wei Family. His mother only wanted him because it would raise her value, his father only kept his children because of their worth as Eon Energy Master. They only thought of their own profit without caring for their lives.

His worth to them would be nothing more but a tool that they could use however they wished.

The servants inside the room were trying their best to not say anything. The only sound in the room was Wei Mi's sobbing and Su Lian's soothing words, which didn't seem to have any effect in her daughter.

'This is truly a mess.'

A servant thought to himself. From watching the fight from afar and now this, he could see very well that Wei Shang would be angry. He always prioritized those talented children in his family because they would be the one to lead the family in the future.

But they fell one by one.

'I really don't understand why Master would want to marry someone from Su Family.'

Even the servants knew that the problem always stemmed out from this particular family, to be exact from Su Lian. The way this woman conducted herself sometimes made them wonder if this woman has a brain inside her large head. Her every action kept on bringing more troubles to the residence.

Seeing the crying Wei Mi, the servants didn't feel even an ounce of pity. They were mistreated by this girl for countless years. Even though they were unable to show it in their expression or it would be the death of them, no one felt sad from the bottom of their heart.

"Dad, there's… there's a… a way, right?" Wei Mi asked with tears stained her face. She didn't want to lose hope that there would be a way for her to recover.

No, she didn't want to live her life as a trash.

People without Eon Energy would be treated worse than dirt. She didn't want to be included into that list.

"There's nothing I can do," Wei Shang replied calmly. He did treasure her, but it was only because she had some worth. Now that she already lost her core and would need another five years to become Eon Energy Master, he didn't really want her anymore.

Five years.

At that time Wei Mi would already reach 16 years old and Eon Energy Master at the age of 16 was nothing glorious. If anything, she would be placed at the very bottom of the list. Even if she managed to become Eon Energy Master again, she wouldn't be worth anything and would be seen as burden because it would take her more time to reach higher rank because her age was no longer the golden age to learn martial arts. 

The moment the servants noticed Wei Shang's expression, they knew that Wei Mi no longer has any value in this man's eyes. Internally, they sneered because they knew that it would be the time for their revenge. Slowly, he wouldn't care for this so-called daughter anymore.

At that time, they could start to bully this master of theirs slowly.

That would be fun.

The only one they needed to wary for would be Wei Cheng, but that young man rarely stayed at home because he was always busy. Even though people always said that Wei Cheng cared for his sister very much, he was not here. Even now, that young man was busy tending on his own wounds.

Unlike Su Lian who prioritized Wei Mi, Wei Cheng still prioritized himself.

They wondered how long it would take for these two to forget about Wei Mi. It shouldn't take that long.

"D-Dad?" Wei Mi's voice was tinged with desperation. 

No, please, don't say that there's no hope.

She didn't want this.

No…

Even though Wei Mi was looking at him with plead and desperation, there was truly nothing that Wei Shang could do. He turned his head away and waved his hand. "You're all dismissed."

"Yes, Master."

The servants, including the doctor quickly scurried away from the place. Wei Shang might look calm, but they knew that he was only controlling himself. If they stayed here any longer they might not be able to stand the consequences.

"There'll be a way, Mi'er," Su Lian whispered. She didn't want to lose hope because she only has two children. They have to be talented or there would be no worth of her to Wei Shang.

"Mom…" Wei Mi couldn't utter any other words. She could only cry and cry again. The doctor had told her that there would not be any other way. How could she say to him that there would be a way?

She was nothing but a liar.

It was Su Lian's fault in the first place that Wei Liao would be aiming for her. Wei Mi's heart was filled with resentment because she knew that Wei Liao would never try to take her core if not for Su Lian.

If only her mother didn't try to take Wei Liao's core…

Unfortunately, there was nothing she could do to change the past. She knew that her future would be bleak as she had become nothing but a trash.

At that thought, tears continued to stream out of her eyes.
