THE STORY

About He's Not A Spare Son

Dustin Curran felt like a spare son. He was sent to his grandfather in the countryside right after his birth, while his parents raised his adopted brother by their side. When he returned home after his grandfather passed away, he was immediately cast into the Clearwind Sect, where he improved his cultivation. One day, his parents suddenly showed up and demended him to wed Linda Collins, who was terminally ill. But Dustin is no longer the spare son they dismissed. They begged him to leave the sect, only to regret it.
