Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

The already dispirited Hou Wuji, upon hearing Zhantai Wuyuan's taunting and ridicule, immediately blushed with anger. The intense shame continuously surged within his heart, causing his breath to become even more chaotic.

No matter how severe the physical injuries were, they could not compare to the psychological blow he received. Nowadays, throughout Shenzhou, who doesn't know that his father, Hou Yuxiao, is the best in the world with the staff? Yet he, being Hou Yuxiao's only son, was defeated in staff skills by someone almost his age.

Hou Wuji was in a daze at this moment and started to appear absent-minded. For the first time, he fell into deep self-doubt about the qualifications and talents he used to be proud of.

Hou Wuqie noticed the changes in Hou Wuji's expression, instantly showing a worried look. Despite calling out several times, he couldn't bring Hou Wuji back to reality and had to vent all his anger on Zhantai Wuyuan, who was still looking smug on the other side.

He turned his head, staring at the opponent, drew out his longsword, and prepared to make a move.

But before he could act, a voice sounded first.

"Now, do you understand that there's always someone better out there?"

"Uncle!"

Upon hearing the voice, Hou Wuqie's face immediately lit up with joy.

The voice also snapped Hou Wuji out of his self-doubt. Unlike others, this voice seemed to resonate in his Sea of Consciousness. Even if he didn't wish to awaken, he couldn't help it.

"Father!"

In midair, Hou Yuxiao, wearing a green robe with a calm and steady demeanor, slowly walked through the air until he reached Hou Wuji's side. His hands emitted a white light, gently brushing over the wounds on Hou Wuji's shoulder that were still bleeding.

As the white energy covered the wound, the bleeding immediately stopped and began healing and recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Unlike the joy on Hou Wuqie's face, Hou Wuji was filled with shame. Since his father now appeared, the scene where he was defeated by Zhantai Wuyuan using staff skills must have been witnessed too.

"Victory and defeat are common for soldiers. The one who laughs last is the true victor! When Father was your age, he was defeated by countless people and bowed to many, begging for mercy, but now I don't see those people around anymore.

The fear is not of failure, but of giving up after failure, losing the courage to rise and chase again. Today he is stronger than you; it's not your fault. But if tomorrow, the day after, or even in the future, he is always stronger than you, then you really are not worthy to be my son!"

Hearing his father's words, Hou Wuji's body shook violently. The haze in his eyes and the dispiritedness on his body were instantly swept away, and he stood up directly from the ground.

"Father, Wuji understands!"

Hou Yuxiao looked down at the determination in his son's eyes, a smile immediately appeared on his face as he gently patted Hou Wuji's shoulder with great comfort.

His expectations for his son were actually never high.

Firstly, although Hou Wuji was already twenty-five years old, he had spent twenty-four years in the Five Elements Heaven cultivating, hardly interacting with outsiders, so his lack of maturity was perfectly normal.

Secondly, given his current status and Hexi's current strength, his son need not be as cautious as he once was. As long as he wasn't overly reckless, the resources of the Hou Clan could easily provide both brothers a normal growth environment.

It was clear that his son set much higher standards for himself than he had anticipated.

However, this was also a good thing!

After educating his son, Hou Yuxiao turned to look at Zhantai Wuyuan on the other side, with a trace of ridicule in his eyes.

From the moment Hou Yuxiao appeared, Zhantai Wuyuan's pupils had already filled with blood. The earlier ridicule on his face had long disappeared, leaving only intense hatred on his delicate face.

When enemies meet, their eyes especially blaze with hatred.

That's likely what Zhantai Wuyuan's expression was like at that moment.
