Yu Wenxiu finally collapsed on the bed and began to weep.
It is said that a woman's heart is as difficult to understand as a needle at the bottom of the sea, but how many people in this world can truly comprehend a man's heart? Especially a man like Dong Wulei, whose character is complex and contradictory; who can read him?
Beating a woman seems not to be the behavior of a true man. Yet for the sake of his brother, disregarding everything else, that is what a real man does!
…………
Dong Wulei rode his horse at full gallop! His heart was burning with anxiety!
A road led straight to the ends of the earth; he was alone, riding swiftly!
His destination: Soul-Breaking Cliff!
Wushang, you must slow down a bit! You must wait for me!
……
Throughout the journey, Dong Wushang passed through Ao Family's territory where Ao Mengyun had set an ambush, but Dong Wushang charged through; although he appeared rough on the outside, he had a grand vision in his heart.
He knew that this was not the time to engage in a death struggle with the Ao Clan, so he did not kill anyone. He simply used the sharpness and heft of the Ink Blade to unexpectedly carve a path and then sped away.
After charging straight ahead for three thousand miles, he surprisingly faced no further ambushes!
Such tranquility made Dong Wushang feel a bit puzzled.
Why is it so calm?
Could it be that no one noticed me?
As he looked ahead, familiar scenery came into view. The territory of the Dong Family was drawing closer.
Three hundred miles ahead was Soul-Breaking Cliff!
He was no more than a thousand miles from his home.
Dong Wushang hesitated for a moment, finally rehearsing in his mind what he would say. This would be his last and most sincere effort to save his brother.
“Eldest brother, I will withdraw from the family. I am still a Dong Family member, but I will not participate in any family disputes. I have returned today to help the family through this crisis; after this, I will ask Father to resign.”
“From now on, I will stand by my boss and charge to the Nine Heavens!”
“The Dong Family will be entrusted to you; brother. But as long as the family needs me, I will always return at the first opportunity, fighting to the end for our home!”
Dong Wushang shook his head, feeling somewhat stiff?
But how should I say this… sigh, over the years, the rift between brothers has grown wider. Eldest brother's loyal subordinates look at me as if I were an enemy.
Eldest brother, you don’t know how much I miss the time when we brothers were united as one. How I wish I could return to those days…
Dong Wushang gazed ahead with sorrow; at this moment, he longed to go home yet feared returning. Home was so warm but felt so distant.
After resting for a while, Dong Wushang set off again. This time, he hesitated no more.
Ahead lay Soul-Breaking Cliff!
Beyond Soul-Breaking Cliff was the territory of the Dong Family!
And Soul-Breaking Cliff was also the best ambush location!
With mountains and dense forests on both sides, there was barely enough space for a few people to advance side by side. Dong Wushang knew that if someone was out to deal with him, they would surely be over there!
It could be the Ou Clan alliance, or it could be the Ao Clan, or… it could be his own family!
But he strode forward like a comet, without a hint of hesitation.
I have already hesitated, I have already thought it through, but now, whatever lies ahead, I must pass! Whether it’s a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, or heartbreak, what needs to be faced must be faced.
Dong Wushang marched forward, unknowingly tightening his teeth against his lips.
Three hundred miles of journey lay behind him, piece by piece.
As he rounded the foot of the mountain, Dong Wushang suddenly froze.
In front of Soul-Breaking Cliff stood a person, and behind him, several dozen were sitting in wait. Upon seeing Dong Wushang return, they instantly stood up in unison: “The second young master has returned!”
Dong Wushang felt a bit relieved.
They were all members of the Dong Family. Although most of them were loyal to the eldest brother, even the second elder was among them. Given his status, although he might not see eye to eye with him, he wouldn’t stoop so low, right?
