“Well…” Han Zhan Meng seemed to realize something, although he was still kind of confused.
“We can’t break the oath, but what if they did so first? Our ancestors never told us to stick out our necks and wait to get killed!” Han Feng Xue snorted. “As long as they break the oath, they will be the enemy! A great enemy that wants all of us dead. I don’t have to tell you how to deal with enemies, do I? There’s a bright side even if they betray us. At least we will be set free from the oath…” He didn’t continue, and it was clear what he meant.
“Yes, I understand.” Han Zhan Meng was completely convinced as he bowed his head.
The older the wiser. My decisiveness is still no match for him!
“It’s good that you understand! Little Meng, remember the phrase ‘good brothers for this life’! And the key is on ‘this life’!
“Brotherhood means sacrificing for each other, but after your life, your descendants may not be good brothers! With more generations, they may become strangers or even enemies!
“Even the descendants of biological brothers may become unfamiliar after a few generations, let alone sworn brothers. All good things must come to an end. So don’t forcefully bring down your brotherhood to your descendants. It will only become their obstacles and constraints!”
“Yes, I will remember.” Han Zhan Meng finally felt relieved.
His father was long prepared for him to say so.
“I am telling you this today because you have made the same mistake concerning your daughters. And it has caused so many tragedies? Do you understand?” Looking at his son, Han Feng Xue was slightly helpless and exasperated.
“The Xiao Family pleaded very sincerely then. With the past relations.h.i.+ps, it was very difficult to reject…” Han Zhan Meng lowered his head in guilt.
“You stopped the Xiao Family from further aggression after Yan Yao’s incident, so you felt that you owe them. That’s why you slowly gave them more power and allowed them to control some important sectors of the Silver City. But you didn’t know that it was a path of no return. They won’t feel your kindness and intention to reconcile; they will only become more ambitions! So their betrayal is actually a result of your indulgence!”
Han Feng Xue looked at his son more sternly. “You must know that you are the leader of the Silver City! What if they are unhappy? If they really dared to show their ambitions, punish them! As a leader, how can you remain on your position without brutal and firm actions? Your niceness resulted in all this! You must learn from this! It’s fortunate that this is happening when I am still alive. Can you imagine what would happen if I died? All the fruits of our ancestors’ efforts would become theirs! How are you going to face our ancestry by then?”
Han Zhan Meng was sweating profusely. He was so guilty!
Han Feng Xue smiled and said slowly, “Well, it’s good that you understand. We can still fix this. Now, go back, and wait for them to act first! They will have to know that with us in the Silver City, they can’t take over at all.” He quietly laughed in sarcasm. “With only a bit more than twenty Spirit Xuans and they think they are strong?”
Han Zhan Meng felt greatly relieved. It was as if there was nothing in the world that could concern him anymore. His father had become a Venerable! How could the Xiao Family match them?
“There’s another thing. It’s about the Jun Family. Jun Mo Xie announced that they will seek revenge against the Xiao Family on the second of February! What do you think about this, father?” Han Zhan Meng was about to leave the chamber when he thought of this. He asked immediately.
“It’s karma for the Xiao Family. They have to bear it themselves. We should not get involved!” Han Feng Xue’s eyes flashed with shrewdness. “We can’t get involved even if the Xiao Family shows no signs of betrayal. Only ten years and the Jun Family has turned from the inferior one to the superior! It’s only ten years! Clearly, we can’t mess around with the Jun Family!”
Han Zhan Meng felt a chill down his spine. He nodded his head repeatedly and left. He was suddenly relieved. The only thing he was concerned about now was the group that left with the Third Elder. He was concerned with the safety of his daughter…
Although Han Feng Xue was very confident and felt everything was under his control, no one could really tell what was about to happen!
Nothing was absolute. Anything was possible!
The fourteenth of January!
Jun Mo Xie was standing before Princess Ling Meng’s bed, frowning. He was checking her pulse. Dugu Xiao Yi was looking concerned at the side as she asked anxiously, “How is it?”
“She won’t die.” Jun Mo Xie said calmly.
“Hey… you sound so cold.” Dugu Xiao Yi pouted and rolled her eyes at him. “Sister Ling Meng is already so pitiful and you still sound so indifferent. When will she wake up?”
“Pitiful?… Indeed. But there are definitely many more people in this world who are more pathetic than her. She’s fortunate to at least have us.”
Jun Mo Xie pulled back his hand and said, “Her injuries aren’t so serious. Wen Cang Yu’s deadly blow wasn’t directed at her. She was simply hurt by the impact of her falling mother. Then she hit her head on a rock, hurting her skull, and causing some internal bleeding. That’s why she is in a coma. I can wake her up by clearing her internal bruise, but if she wakes up, she will still be in a state of confusion. Her skull injuries haven’t healed yet, so if she gets too emotional when we are not around, some of her blood vessels may burst, causing her to become unconscious forever… We should let her remain like this until her skull injuries have healed.”
“Poor sister Ling Meng… how is she going to face reality when she wakes up?” There were tears in her eyes as she looked pitifully at Princess Ling Meng on the bed. But she soon recovered. She stared at Jun Mo Xie with her big cute eyes and asked jealousy, “Mo Xie, did your mistress find you today?”
“No. She is so busy trying to hide from me; why would she dare to find me?” Jun Mo Xie smirked as he pinched Dugu Xiao Yi’s smooth face softly. “I have many ways to deal with you little girls, hahaha…”
Dugu Xiao Yi blushed and protested. “How am I a little girl like her!”
“Hmmm, if you are not a little girl… then what are you?” Jun Mo Xie could not help laughing.
“I…” Dugu Xiao Yi turned her eyes around. She suddenly laughed before making a attractive pose and said with a charming voice, “My body’s fully grown; I’m now a woman, so there’s no problem marrying.”
“Oh? Fully grown? Where? Why can’t I see? Come here, let me touch to find out. ” Jun Mo Xie appeared surprised and stuck out his hand.
“Pervert!” Dugu Xiao Yi jumped up to dodge. She cuddled her chest as she said annoyedly, “I said I can get married; who asked you to touch?”
“Oh really? Then… then I should find you a good husband!” Jun Mo Xie looked more surprised, but he suddenly said seriously, “Little Yi, what do you think of Tang Yuan? If you find him okay, I’m sure you can get him!” Jun Mo Xie said confidently.
Dugu Xiao Yi was immediately infuriated. She jumped onto him and bit his shoulder hard with her teeth.
Jun Mo Xie yelled in pain and gritted his teeth, “Why are you acting like Snowy?? What a strong pair of jaws you have.” He suddenly realized that he had not been seeing Snowy recently, so he asked, “Where’s it now?”
“It has grown big; I can’t cuddle him anymore…” Dugu Xiao Yi blew a whistle proudly. With a flash, a white figure dashed in and jumped onto Jun Mo Xie’s lap. It was Snowy.
“Wah! You’re really heavy.” Jun Mo Xie grabbed its paws and looked at it. It was now at least 25 kilograms. How fast he had grown!
“When sister Xue Yan was here, she fed it a lot, so he grew fatter and bigger. It has become Big Snowy… It’s no longer as cute…” Suddenly she became very excited. “But it’s now very strong! Even my brothers can’t win a fight against it.”
“Ah?” Jun Mo Xie was shocked. How old is this little beast? How can it win those buffs sons of the Dugu Family?
