Shen Jiu's past [part 2]

[There will be mention of abuse, there's a warning when you reach that part. Also spoilers for the novel if you haven't read it yet!]

A younger version of Shen Jiu being bound by hemp rope while kneeling on the ground. Although the young boy's facial features are pretty but his face carried a sense of gloominess. 

There were purple sections at the corner of his mouth and forehead if you look closely enough.

Shen Qingqiu knew that this is Shen Jiu when he is still young.

 "What happen to shizun?! " Ning Yingying exclaimed. 

Shen Yuan open his fan blocking the expression that his husband is currently giving him. Luo Bingmei is wondering how did his shizun ended up in those memories, without his help.  

A young man wearing luxurious clothes stopped over the threshold. 

Shen Qingqiu look at the face that is about 60% like Qiu Haitang's and knew that this must be the eldest member from the Qiu clan, Qiu Haitang's older brother.

Shen Jiu felt a hint of resentment rising in him, he took the tea that he got moments ago and sips it. Aggressively.

Yue Qingyuan is a bit worried but he kept his attention on screen, he can finally know what happen to his martial brother during his absent. He think that this scene in front of him might be taken place when he was about to sneak into the Qiu manor.

Luo Bingmei can't help but felt a tiny spark of pity for his other shizun (Shen Jiu). 

TaXian jun is starting to think that every cultivators in the room had at least experience some sort of trauma in the past to get to where they are now. And that's a bit unsetting to him.

Why? Well, that means some people here might have done something like killing higher ups people, like himself. I mean he is- correction was an emperor after all.

In other term, Qiu brat. The brat strolled over to Shen Jiu who's expression was dark. But the boy was slightly trembling, it's a clear sign that he's trying to force himself to remain calm.

Shen Qingqiu suspicions is also confirmed by looking at this scene. "Treat him like a family" is a total bullshit. Look at this and tell me that this is a family thing to do! I dare you!

 Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian turned slightly away from the screen.

We don't talk about that.

[Warning: Mention of Abuse] 

The brat suddenly kicked Shen Jiu square in the back making Shen Jiu sprawled face first onto the ground.

'Oh shit- Already?!' Shen Yuan look over to Airplane bro to see what is he feeling and it's exactly what he think it is

Shang Qinghua have your typical "It's for the character development" face. 

According to Shen Qingqiu who is watching the brat beat the young Shen Jiu, he finally knew 'fawning on the surface but spiteful behind people's backs' character developed

Shen Jiu look right at his counterpart. 

"Sorry?" Both Shen know that is not a sincere apology.

Y/N who is watching from the showing room looked at a few cultivators who has the same character personality before their gaze went back on the screen.

After some good amount of beating, Shen Jiu cried out.

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

"You belong to our family now. Naturally I can do whatever I want." That brat laughed.

"What a brat. Even Jin Ling is way better that him." Wei Wuxian pointed out.

Hua Cheng didn't care much about the poor boy on screen, cause it does not involve him nor his gege.

"Brother? Brother are you inside?" a gentle voice spoke. That brat seems to recognize the owner of the voice, his expression change.

Then he told Shen Jiu to wiped his face and not to speak a word about it. 

[End of Abuse]

Shen Qingqiu got switch to another vision. The only thing different is that Shen Jiu is alone now.  

Then a knock was heard, followed by a voice. "Xiao-Jiu, Xiao Jiu?"  

Shen Jiu's expression brighten up a little and threw himself at the door, face pressed against the lock of the door. "Qi-ge!" 

 "I know that this is a wrong time to say this but how could he look so adorable! I mean is this the Shen Qingqiu that we knew?!" Qi Qingqiu said. 

"I mean he's the immortal beauty of our sect-" Mu Qingfan mentioned. 

Yue Qingyuan is not surprised. 

Shen Jiu want to dug a hole and buried both sect leaders six feet under.

Shen Qingqiu is surprised that the original can befriend someone with that kind of personality.

"Quiet down a little, I snuck in." 

Both Shens heard a slight rattling from the other side of the door. 

"It's no use. They have five or six locks inside and outside. The window is locked as well."

Qi-ge and Xiao Jiu had a small argument about how careless Qi-ge was and how he suffer from between every two or three days, treating him like a dog.

The cultivators are quiet.

Then Qi-ge told Xiao Jiu that he want to try to get into one of the sects and promise will come back and rescue him. That's when Cang Qiong sect was mention.

 The sect leaders wonder what happen that cause Shen Jiu go join the sect. Since this moving picture only mention how Yue Qingyuan got into the sect and not Shen Jiu.

Shen Jiu remembered how naïve he was back then, but the past is in the past now. He can't change it no matter what he do.

The scene switched to a slight older Shen Jiu grinding ink for the young master beside him. Little do both of them knew this is going to be the worst/best day of their lives.

"Is this the Qiu manor incident?" Ning Yingying asked. 

{Yes indeed. But we're not going to details since the scene is quite unsettling.} - Luna

In short, Shen Jiu got pissed off by the young master and murdered him with his spiritual energy before making his way out the manor by killing everyone in his way, he spared Qiu Haitang since she didn't get involve with his resent for the Qiu's. And burned the place down to the ground. 

He also know that the person that promise to save him from the hell hold wouldn't return anymore.

The screen went black meaning the show is over. 

The cultivators were too stunned to speak. Yue Qingyuan finally know what happen to his martial brother during his absent and Shen Jiu hid his face under his fan.

Bingge turn to his "shizun", looking a bit stunned that his shizun did in fact suffered. And not dressing up like elegant rich people like he thought few hours ago.

[At the showing room]

"How about I send you to Black Clover!" Rin said. 

"No." [Y/N] refuse.

Aria: "Why am I stuck with them again."

[A/N: Just a few more request to go! Hope you like it so far! Writing during a writer block was hard-]
