Lei Dongtian knew that his brothers were trying to make him feel better.
He took a deep breath and said, “I know what you are doing, brothers. If you are so determined, I guess we should all stay together. However, I have to say this before it is too late to change your minds. We are still brothers even in the Monarch’s Hall, but as a member of the Monarch’s Hall, each of us should put the Monarch’s Hall in the priority. We will never break the rules of the Monarch’s Hall for the relationship between us. Otherwise, how am I going to return the favor to the Monarch’s Hall?”
The three men laughed and said, “What are you talking about, brother? We traveled across fire and blood together in our lives. Wherever you go, we follow. It was you who helped us survive the cruel martial world. You gave us a position in this world. We will never do anything to ruin what you want.”
“We will join the Monarch’s Hall, and we will devote ourselves to the Monarch’s Hall. We will chase the glory with you!”
While they were talking, Ye Xiao approached.
He heard the four men’s conversation, and he was glad to know their decision.
Lei Dongtian was the strongest among the four. He was almost as powerful as Qiu Luo, even when Qiu Luo was in his prime.
Qiu Luo used to be at level four of the Divinity Origin Stage, more powerful than the Evil Dark Spirit and Bai Long. Lei Dongtian was powerful as well, and it was a surprise for Ye Xiao to have him stay in the Monarch’s Hall.
Du Qingkuang and the other two guys were all at level one of the Divinity Origin Stage, which was good too.
Feng’er was powerful as well. She was at the top of level two of the Divinity Origin Stage. What she needed was only one opportunity to reached the third level.
When Ye Xiao was about to say something, somebody else spoke.
“Big brother, you said it yourself! If you survived, you would marry Feng’er!” Du Qingkuang said, “That was a promise! Now that Master Ye is here, he can be the witness! There is no better day than today! Let’s get it done now! You have to do it someday anyway.”
Feng’er blushed.
Lei Dongtian laughed and said, “Of course. Feng’er likes me. I am not blind... I am not an idiot either... It must be the best luck I have in my life if I can marry her. I won’t deny it.”
Du Qingkuang seemed to have a feeling of pain for a second, but then he laughed and said, “The husband and the wife are both okay with it, let’s get it done then... Brother, you must be serious. If you don’t marry her soon, I will think too much again.”
The other brothers all laughed and told him to stop being a prick.
Lei Dongtian stared at Du Qingkuang in the eyes and said in a low voice, “Thank you, brother.”
Du Qingkuang nearly shed tears. He held the tears back and laughed loudly. “Come on, big brother. This is the first time you ever say something so serious to me. I guess you do love Feng’er very much... Hah hah...”
They all laughed.
Ye Xiao was not the virgin he used to be anymore. He could notice other’s feelings about loving somebody without getting anything in return. He knew that Du Qingkuang had grief deep in his heart.
Before this, the youngest brother of them, Xiao Fei, had talked to Ye Xiao. He told Ye Xiao they were going to join the Monarch’s Hall, and also told Ye Xiao the story about Lei Dongtian, Du Qingkuang, and Feng’er.
He asked Ye Xiao for his help to solve the problem in their hearts.
They all knew that if they didn’t truly move on, even though Lei Dongtian and Feng’er were married, the three of them wouldn’t be happy.
A love triangle was never just something to joke about between brothers, and it was never a beautiful thing.
A love triangle always brought pain and sorrow.
Brothers trusted each other with their lives, but when two brothers fell in love with one woman, a tragedy was unavoidable!
It was the beginning of a disaster!
No matter which of the two men the woman chose, there would always be a pain.
Feng’er was smiling. She was happy. However, she kept lowering her head from time to time. Ye Xiao noticed that she was avoiding eye contact with the others, especially with Lei Dongtian. Her face looked anxious... She couldn’t help pulling the end of her hair from time to time.
Ye Xiao realized that her hairs were not dark and healthy anymore. Instead, her hairs were gray and lifeless.
“Feng’er has cut her own life three times to keep me alive. She kept pouring spiritual qi into my body to keep me breathing. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to see you, master. She saved me.”
Lei Dongtian knew that Ye Xiao had noticed her hair, so he sighed and said, “I survived, but Feng’er couldn’t get her life energy back...”
In fact, as she became more powerful in cultivation, she could restore her energy. However, her face and hair were never going to be young and beautiful again. Being a powerful cultivator didn’t keep one young forever. Even the high-level cultivators could never erase the marks left by ages. In other words, even though Feng’er had restored her power, she couldn’t get her young and beautiful face back... Only Agerasia Dan at the level of dan glow could help her regain her beauty!
Wan and Xiu, the two powerful ladies on Master Bai’s side from the Human Realm Upon Heavens were two fairies in the Land of Han-Yang.
They were two powerful and intelligent ladies. However, when they saw the Agerasia Dan beads, they caved!
They had a good reason to do that. The Agerasia Dan did not cure diseases or improve cultivation capabilities, but it provided youth! It made a lady look young and beautiful!
Ladies, who cherished their beauty, we’re all obsessed with the Agerasia Dan!
However, dan makers usually didn’t pay a lot of attention to Agerasia Dan, because it did not have practical uses. That was why only a few dan makers could make Agerasia Dan. High-level Agerasia Dan was rare. The higher level the Agerasia Dan bead was at, the better it worked for the ladies. However, it was difficult to make high-level Agerasia Dan. Feng’er needed an Agerasia Dan bead beyond the level of dan glow, and the dan bead should keep her young for about a hundred years.
Lei Dongtian surely wanted a higher level Agerasia Dan bead, but he was quite certain that it was impossible to get one. Even if he was lucky enough to get one, he wouldn’t be able to keep it. People were chasing after the Agerasia Dan crazily. He was not powerful enough to keep the dan bead with him. If he had an Agerasia Dan bead beyond the level of dan glow, he would be robbed and even killed! It wasn’t a surprise that somebody got killed for some valuable dan bead.
Ye Xiao looked at Feng’er and said with a smile, “It is such a good day today. I have recruited a group of loyal men, and you two are going to get married. We should celebrate it.”
Lei Dongtian gladly said, “If you can join our wedding, Master Ye, it would be my honor. We will propose a toast to you! Thank you for saving my life and supporting our marriage.” As he said so, he glanced at Du Qingkuang with concern.
Du Qingkuang kept his head low, lost in thoughts. That was weird.
Ye Xiao thought for a while. He was sure if he should say what he had planned to say now.
He noticed that Du Qingkuang was silent, and his sharp sensation told him that something evil was in the atmosphere.
Was it vicious?
Was it dark?
Was it just desperate?
Ye Xiao was shocked.
He looked at Du Qingkuang.
After a while, he finally started to talk.
“Today, I have you guys to join my Monarch’s Hall, and you two are going to get married. Two happy events come together. However, there is something I need to tell you.” He still looked soft and gentle, but his voice didn’t sound so soft.
The others all sat straight up, wondering what Master Ye was going to say.
“Old Lei is going to get married. It is a good thing. However, there is a problem with you. I guess it is difficult for you to be absolutely honest, so I guess I should help you with it.”
They were all shocked.
‘Master Ye has just come to us, and he actually noticed such a private matter!’
‘How impressive it is!’
Ye Xiao blandly said, “I will repeat this many times. From now on, you are all members of the Monarch’s Hall. Each of your concerns the future of the Monarch’s Hall.”
“Lei Dongtian and Feng’er love each other, so they should marry each other. We should bless them. Nobody else can interfere in their relationship. We should respect their choice and wish them the best. They are a loving couple.”
“Sometimes, when two loving people were getting married, troubles happen... When the lady is so good that she has many followers... there are always troubles. Her wedding becomes a big deal for somebody else.”
As he said so, they were all shocked. They seemed to know what he was going to say.
“If the followers, or the follower, is only a stranger to the bridegroom, it won’t be a problem, because he could just leave it. However, if the follower is the bridegroom’s good friend or good brother, it will be a huge problem.”
“Something like that is always going to cause a rupture between the two men.”
Ye Xiao looked at Du Qingkuang and said, “If somebody can bear the pain, they can save the relationship. If not, nobody gets anything.”
Du Qingkuang felt like stricken by a bolt of lightning. He was shocked.
That was right. He felt burned inside.
He knew that Feng’er didn’t love him back. Feng’er saw him only as a brother. However, he couldn’t control himself. He knew that Lei Dongtian and Feng’er were in love. He knew that Lei Dongtian didn’t say anything to Feng’er only to protect his feelings.
In fact, he pretended that he didn’t know so that things wouldn’t go opposite of what he expected.
He was looking forward to a chance. He was waiting for a miracle...
As long as Feng’er did not marry anybody, he still had a chance to earn her love. If she got married, he was hopeless.
This time, Lei Dongtian was dying because he got hurt to protect Du Qingkuang. Du Qingkuang was grateful for that. He was not a cruel man after all.
Because of what happened, he realized that Feng’er would die with Lei Dongtian, so he was touched, and he knew he should give up!
However, he loved Feng’er so much. Even though he tried so hard to let it go, even though he even urged the two loving people to get married, he couldn’t bear the pain in his heart. In fact, he even had a thought that he didn’t want to have. ‘I am being so nice to them. Will they give up each other just to show kindness to me? Will I have an opportunity then?’
That was the reason he kept urging the man and the lady to get married as soon as possible.
However, Lei Dongtian did not hesitate this time. Lei Dongtian said he was going to marry Feng’er! That was unexpected...
Lei Dongtian even decided on the date of the wedding immediately.
What happened had crushed Du Qingkuang’s heart.
Now, what surprised and terrified him most was that the evil thought that he had hidden deep in his heart was revealed by Master Ye!
The next moment, Du Qingkuang felt like he was totally naked in front of everybody. He was blank.
He kept shedding cold sweats.
Since he had decided to join the Monarch’s Hall, Ye Xiao was their master. Nobody could interrupt the master’s talk.
The others saw how embarrassed Du Qingkuang was, and they felt bad about it.
After all, they were brothers, and they had been through so much.
However, they also knew that Ye Xiao was trying to solve the problem once and for all. That was why he revealed the truth and exposed Du Qingkuang’s mind...
