Han Yan Yao finally broke down completely under Jun Mo Xie’s constant, merciless words.
She sat weakly on the floor, her eyes in a daze, but she kept mumbling repeatedly, “I’ll carry it... I’ll carry it till death...”
“You not only have to carry it! You have to take care of my Third Uncle! Wholeheartedly, with your heart and soul! Use your gentleness to heal the scars you have left in his heart all these years! You must know that everything he had—his entire future—was completely ruined because of you! He suffered this greatest humiliation, the most tragic destruction of his soul!”
Jun Mo Xie continued leisurely, “The Blood General who should be worshipped by ten thousand people, to be in such a pathetic state today... You should understand the bitterness in his heart!”
“I understand! I really do...!” Han Yan Yao could only feel her heart hurting, images of Jun Wu Yi being hurled as insults, looked down upon by others and in many other pitiful states appeared in her mind. Her heart ached for him, and she yearned to fly to his side immediately and to give him the support he needed!
“There is also my grandfather! How cruel has it been for him to watching his progeny die before him all these years. He needs you, this daughter-in-law, to soothe and heal these scars! To be filial and take care of him! There’s also my mother! Me! My wife! All these are your responsibility!”
In a slip of the tongue, Jun Mo Xie accidentally threw all the responsibilities onto Han Yan Yao... Had he not stopped in time, he would have throw in his own son, grandsons, grandson’s future wife as her responsibility too.
Seeing that Han Yan Yao had promised without any further arguments, Jun Mo Xie let out a sigh of relief. That was exhausting...
To churn out so many reasons in the blink of an eye! That wasn’t easy. Even Jun Mo Xie was a little impressed by himself at this point in time. Such a witty and smooth talker!
The knots were deeply rooted in Jun Wu Yi and Han Yan Yao’s hearts. And “love” was the only way to undo them!
Only love could undo those knots, heal the scars in their hearts, and relieve their hearts from guilt!
This relief included the love they had for each other, the love for those children.
It was an emotion and not something physical, but when they both did something for those children, they would feel much better and more comforted in time.
This is what was often known as conscience.
Of course, Jun Mo Xie had selfish thoughts embedded in his words. He genuinely wished for his Third Uncle and Third Aunt’s happiness, and it could only be achieved with them together! While Han Yan Yao atoned for her mistakes as she took care of Jun Wu Yi, undoubtedly, when they were together, Jun Wu Yi would return such love to Han Yan Yao with greater care and concern!
This way, they would both support each other and spend the rest of their lives together, and when they finally found peace in their hearts, they would realize that they had led a meaningful life...
And by then, they would probably have many children!
This was what Jun Mo Xie genuinely hoped for.
The words he spoke today were merciless, and he had not minced his words at all, but it was the cure for treating this broken soul.
Han Yan Yao had agreed mindlessly to Jun Mo Xie’s numerous requests in her broken state of mind, but she did not feel like she was forced to do anything. To the contrary, she had felt great relief after she made the decision in her heart. Even her broken heart that had given up on everything was healed to a state of purity and clarity.
In life, one should only work hard with a clear goal in mind.
And it was through attempting that that one would discover the beauty in life!
This was the truth!
Let us strive for our goals together!!
A soft sound of someone landing could be heard from outside.
Jun Mo Xie stood without shifting and stared coldly at the entrance of the cave.
A flash of white appeared and someone entered the cave. It was Han Zhan Meng, the Lord of Blizzard Silver City.
“Yao’er...” Han Zhan Meng was about to speak when he was startled by Jun Mo Xie’s presence, “Who are you?”
Finally the commotion had temporarily settled. Three Holy Lands had instantly lost two experts and were down in spirits; they couldn’t be bothered with anyone from Blizzard Silver City. Han Zhan Meng ordered for the Xiao Family to be kept under tight watch and came to visit his daughter immediately.
It was obvious that the commotion today was the work of the Jun Family. Since the Jun Family had such great capabilities, there was bigger hope of defeating the Three Holy Lands, so his present and utmost concerns lied with his daughter.
If any fool came and told her the news of Jun Family successfully taking revenge, she might just end her own life knowing that she could finally remove the guilt she carried in her heart.
After all, she revealed that intention when he visited her the other day.
So Han Zhan Meng came up as quickly as he could. Even if he had to tie her up, he would bring his daughter out of this place to keep her under close watch!
But he did not expect to find a man already here before him and was gripped by anger.
“I’m Jun Mo Xie from the Jun Family,” Jun Mo Xie said. “Master Han, we finally meet.”
“You’ve met me before? How do you know that I’m Han Zhan Meng?” Han Zhan Meng’s anger faded away. If this was Jun Wu Yi’s nephew, he probably wasn’t here to harm Han Yan Yao.
“We met in the hall earlier. Just that you might not have seen my face, but we did meet each other.” Jun Mo Xie chuckled.
“So you were that ‘King of Assassins’!” Han Zhan Meng could not believe that the person who had killed the level four Venerable Wei Kong Qun with a single sword was actually this young man who had barely reached his twenties!
“That was just a small trick; I’ve embarrassed myself before Master Han,” Jun Mo Xie replied humbly.
Han Zhan Meng was a little speechless. How was that being humble? Why did it sound like he was bragging no matter how his words were interpreted? If that was just a small trick, then it was terrifying! Wasn’t he being a little hypocritical?
As he pondered, he walked over to help his daughter up only to be greeted by her tear-stained face. Losing his temper, he shouted, “What did you do to my daughter!”
Jun Mo Xie shrugged his shoulders. “Master Han... what can I possibly do to my own aunt? I am still a junior; what can a junior do to their elder?”
Han Zhan Meng was stunned. “What aunt! What elder and junior! What are you talking about?”
“The wife of my uncle is my aunt, and Third Aunt is the wife of Mo Xie’s Third Uncle, which makes her Mo Xie’s elder. Does Master Han understand?” Jun Mo Xie explained patiently.
Han Zhan Meng bellowed in anger, “Who is your uncle’s wife? Jun Mo Xie! While you are highly skilled in your Xuan Skills, that does not mean that you can spout nonsense! Even if Jun Wu Yi wishes to marry my daughter, he needs to show some sincerity! Does you talking here even carry any meaning?”
“Master Han, naturally, the Jun Family came with great sincerity.” Jun Mo Xie continued smiling. “So I hope the Han Family can show their sincerity to complete this wonderous affair.”
“Our sincerity?” Han Zhan Meng frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Was the Han Family completely free from responsibility when the Xiao Family committed their despicable and heinous acts?!” Jun Mo Xie said coldly. “I could tell that Blizzard Silver City did not wish to be at odds with the Jun Family. But this is due to our current strength and power. I’m sure that Master Han would not even be willing to have this conversation had the Jun Family’s influence remained as it was in the past. In this world where power and strength determine everything, we understand this undeniable fact. The Jun Family does not wish to make things difficult for the Han Family for Third Uncle and Third Aunt, but it does not mean that we lack the power to do so.
“Master Han is an intelligent man. I believe you can tell the difference. Did you really believe that Blizzard Silver City was completely innocent from that incident? Or even... that the Han Family has no responsibility for the tragedy that had befallen the Jun Family? We need to find a balance, and this balance is for you to show enough sincerity!” Jun Mo Xie said slowly, the weight of his words clear and obvious.
Guilt appeared involuntarily on the face of Han Zhan Meng when Jun Mo Xie brought up that incident from the past. He was an upright man and was unwilling to speak without his conscience.
After a while, he let out a long sigh and said, “Blizzard Silver City indeed has to take responsibility for what happened to the Jun Family. This I would not deny, but Jun Mo Xie, you also clearly know that this is a world where power and strength determine everything, this is how the pugilistic world is! The weak is food for the strong, the strong is respected!
“Gratitude and vengeance—this is the way of the pugilistic world!”
Jun Mo Xie listened quietly, not replying.
“Just because the Jun Family has the capability to get their revenge, and even the capital to dominate the world, you have the right to discuss with me in such a manner. But have you considered this: what if the Jun Family does not have such capabilities? How would this end?”
Han Zhan Meng continued, “Had that been the case, even if the Han Family knew that we were wrong, we may not even allow this discussion. Honestly put, it would be the same as the past, and we would not give in!”
“Such is the pugilistic world! No doubt that it was a tragedy for the Jun Family, but in this world, there are even more cases of greater injustice than the one the Jun Family had suffered, happening everyday, and this will continue happening! Tragedies like this will never cease!”
He laughed bitterly before continuing colding. “Did Third Young Master Jun ever thought that since the day the Jun Family began to rise, they also became a cause of evil? Similarly, some innocent families were also affected by the actions taken by the Jun Family, and they also don’t have the ability to seek revenge! You may not be aware, but I am sure there are such cases, and I believe you will not deny this, Third Young Master Jun?”
