Ling Yuan's tense expression relaxed slightly because of his sudden confession, but when she thought about the series of events that happened after she reunited with him, and what she might face in the future, she had to force herself to harden her heart.
"Compensation? Make up? Let down? No, Wei Jie, I never need these. I think you misunderstood something. No matter what path I took four years ago, it was my own choice and had nothing to do with you. Four years later, there is no need for you and me to be together anymore."
"Why? Yuan'er, as long as you are still Lingyuan, you are my Wei Jie's concubine, the one and only concubine. Yuan'er, please, give me another chance, okay?"
Ling Yuan shook her head slightly, then bent down and tried to pull Wei Jie up, but no matter how hard she pulled, he just wouldn't get up. In a hurry, Ling Yuan kicked him over.
"A man's knees are made of gold. He should kneel to heaven, earth, and his parents. What's the point of you kneeling in front of me now? Get up right there!"
"I won't get up. If you don't tell me the reason, I won't get up, even if I die. I finally found you, and finally had a little hope. Why did you suddenly send me to hell? I won't accept it. If you don't tell me the reason today, I won't get up!"
Ling Yuan was so angry that she immediately said, "You can get up or not, kneel as long as you want, I don't care!"
Unfortunately, it was not easy for her to break free from his restraints. The two of them struggled for a long time, and she was sweating all over, but she couldn't pull her legs out of his arms. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
"Okay, don't you want the reason? Then I'll tell you, Wei Jie, think about it carefully. From the day we met, we have been hurting each other. The first time we met, you beat me half to death despite being seriously injured. Afterwards, the series of things we experienced were either you taking advantage of me or I was foolishly paying for you. What about you? What have you done to me?"
"Okay, now you say you want to compensate me, but what happened after we met again? Yes, I thank you for saving me and Gongzi Yan as a savior, saving the Never-Sleeping City, and even for being willing to become a test subject for my experiment. I am grateful to you for all these."
"But what happened later? Do you remember what happened after we got to Stone Island?"
Wei Jie was blocked by Ling Yuan's questioning and couldn't utter a word. He opened his mouth and suddenly found that his memory was blank and he couldn't explain it at all.
"You don't remember, but I remember that you lost all your spiritual power due to the experiment, so you were forcibly abducted by Hong Meir. After your senior brother informed me, I had to put down everything I was doing and go to save you, because I was the one who brought you this trouble, so I had to go!"
"But after catching up, I realized how powerful the enemy is. Your senior brother, my sister, and even my brother have all come here to help you, but the effect is minimal because the terrain of Stone Island is too complicated."
"Plus, you entered a self-enclosed promotion phase as soon as you arrived on the island. Your senior brothers suffered a lot to protect you. If we can say that everyone was able to leave Stone Island safely, it was also thanks to the eleven thunder tribulations you encountered when you were promoted."
"Thunder tribulation?" Wei Jie could not hide his surprise. He tried desperately to recall the circumstances at that time. However, no matter how hard he tried, his brain was blank. The memories of that period seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.
"Yes, it was the thunder tribulation. Because of the thunder tribulation, you and Ling Jifeng were seriously injured, and the mechanical array on the island was accidentally disrupted, which gave us an opportunity to take advantage of. My sister and I risked our lives for the three of you brothers, dodging non-stop!"
She said this without any guilt. Although she just threw them into the space at that time, she was not tired at all. But what if she didn't have the space? Their current situation would definitely be heading towards the opposite ending. It was not Hong Meier who became a prisoner, but their group of people.
The one who was most seriously injured was most likely Wei Jie, who was in the promotion stage!
Because of the situation at the time, the enemy would never allow him to be promoted successfully. Once he was interrupted during the promotion, he would be seriously injured at best, or at worst go insane and lose all his skills.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the successful destruction of Stone Island was due to the power of her spiritual kite.
She alone saved everyone's lives, and this is an indisputable fact.
"You are men, you should have played the role of protecting us, but why is the final result exactly the opposite? Your lives have to rely on my sister and I to desperately maintain? Wei Jie, don't you think this scene is familiar? A few years ago, was I also paying for you in the same way?"
"I don't want to live this kind of life anymore. You and I are born to be incompatible. We are not meant to be together. Since being together will only drag each other down, why not cut the Gordian knot right from the start? What do you think? I think this outcome is the best for both of us!"
Ling Yuan's doubts hit his heart again and again, making him feel even more guilty towards her, but he knew that she didn't need his guilt. He wanted to explain, but found that he was speechless. No words could offset her efforts over the years.
But he is unwilling to give up like this, what should he do?
"Yuan'er, please give me another chance."
Ling Yuan shook her head expressionlessly, "I think there is no need for that, Wei Jie. Some things are destined to happen. You can't delve into them. In a few days, my brother will come to take us back to the Dragon Empire. After this separation, I don't know when we will meet again. The name Ling Yuan will sooner or later become a cloud of smoke. When you recover, leave here immediately and return to your Siyou Kingdom!"
"No, Yuan'er, don't go. I still have a lot to say to you. You can't just leave like this. Can't you give me a chance? Just once, just once, okay? I promise, I promise to protect you well in the future and never let you suffer any grievances again. Really, I promise!"
Ling Yuan looked at him deeply, her eyes full of disappointment: "Do you think I care about who protects whom, and who pays more? No, Wei Jie, you still don't understand that the relationship between people, especially between men and women, requires heart. It's not about who is strong and who is weak, or you pay and I enjoy. I, Ling Yuan, am not that hypocritical, but I don't want to live my whole life in such a depressed way!"
"Because when I'm with you, I only feel tired, and there has never been any so-called sweetness. Even if we have a little emotional foundation, it wouldn't be like this today. So Wei Jie, I'm tired. I'm really tired this time. You and I, let's say goodbye and part ways in peace!"
Wei Jie roared at her back unwillingly: "As long as you are Ling Yuan, you will always be my, Wei Jie's, wife. Yuan'er, I will not give up just like that!"
Ling Yuan walked away slowly with her back to him, curling her lips in self-mockery: "Whether it's Ling Yuan or Feng Yan, I believe that in a short time, there will be no such person in this world!"
Even though Mo Yin didn't say it explicitly, the sisters knew that the time that Mo Yin, Mo Yuan, and Hua Yao had mentioned to them before had probably come. In other words, their chance to return to their roots had come. From now on, their past memories would really fade away with their departure...
At the same time, Yu Hen, who had regained consciousness, began to pursue Gongzi Yan relentlessly.
Unfortunately, the person in front of him was Gongzi Yan, who was indifferent to everything, and not Hua Yan, who was simple and innocent at the beginning. No matter what moves he used, he could easily resolve them and take the opportunity to give him a strong medicine, trying to make him retreat.
But she underestimated someone's shamelessness and his feelings for her. No matter where Gongzi Yan hid, he would find ways to appear in front of him. In the end, Gongzi Yan couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave Fengchi Villa without waiting for Mo Yin and others to pick him up.
Ling Yuan, who had the same experience, had the same idea as her. Although Wei Jie's methods seemed much more rational than those of a certain scoundrel, Ling Yuan was as hard as a rock and would not confess or change his mind no matter what was said. Wei Jie was so anxious that he felt as if he had lived in vain for the past twenty years.
Therefore, when two emotionally frustrated men sat together drinking, they both felt that they had failed in the past twenty years, especially to their beloved women, they were complete losers.
Eventually, the two sisters, unable to endure their relentless pursuit, left a letter in the middle of the night one day and quietly left the Sifang Continent where they had lived for twelve years.
By the time the two brothers sobered up from their drunkenness and wanted to chase after him, it was already too late. They looked at the clear blue sky and white clouds, and a self-deprecating smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.
"Yu Hen, you are nothing more than this."
"Wei Jie, you are also good-looking but useless."
Finally, the two brothers smiled bitterly at each other and patted each other on the shoulders: "So, it's time for us to do something!"
The Imperial Mohist Academy is located in the easternmost part of the imperial capital, and its area is twice the size of the imperial royal family. Most of it is covered by green forests. If you stand at the highest point of the capital and look down, you will find that what occupies a large area of the Imperial Mohist Academy is not buildings, but forests.
Of course, this is also what outsiders say, why the spiritual energy around the Mo family is so abundant. In fact, except for the royal family, the four great families and the eight powerful families, no one knows that the hope of the entire Dragon Empire is hidden in the Mo family's forbidden area.
The location of the Mohist forbidden area is in the Lingwu Forest that connects to the Mohist School.
Lingwu Forest, located at the easternmost part of the empire, is the place with the most spiritual energy in the empire. However, around Lingwu Forest, except for the Mo family, there are no other families or villages. It can be said that within a radius of dozens of miles, there are only forests and Mo family residences.
The Mo family's residence is a super mansion with 16 floors. It is densely packed with traps and formations. Even the internal staff of the Mo family cannot set foot anywhere except their own small piece of land.
People are even more vigilant and strict with themselves. In the huge mansion, apart from the legitimate family in power, there is only the Elders' Hall which is closely related to the Mohist School. After each change of term, the rest of the people will leave the Mohist mansion and be sent to the Mohist ancestral halls in various places.
After hundreds of years, the Mohist family has become huge and intertwined, spread across every corner of the Dragon Empire. Although they are usually a group of scattered sand, once they are summoned by the clan leader, the number of people coming and going is so great that even the emperor would be afraid and lose sleep.
Over the years, the Long family has never given up on eradicating the Mohist School, but every effort they made was easily resolved by the Mohist School.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as the Goddess Clan is willing, the Long family will not exist in the Dragon Empire at all. And all this is not because the Long family is in power, but because of one person - Long Yi.
The reason why the Dragon Empire is called the Dragon Empire is not because of the current Long family, but because of the powerful Long family.
Of course, although this Long family and the royal family of the empire are both Long families, their identities and status are very different and there is no comparison at all.
The reason why the Goddess Clan has tolerated the Long Family until now is not because they are afraid of that person, but because they do not want to destroy the current balance of the empire. In fact, if they wanted to, the Long Family would probably have ceased to exist a hundred years ago.
At least as far as Mo Yin is concerned, he has never taken the Long family seriously!
On the fifteenth day of August, before dawn, the Mohist family was busy. No one knew what big event was about to happen in the Mohist family. They only knew that at the order of the general manager, they began to make arrangements with great fanfare.
The Mohist School, which had never been so noisy even during festivals, not only dressed up for the first time, but even laid a kilometer-long red carpet in the Mohist square. The stone lions at the gate were crowned with big red flowers, and big red lanterns were hung above the Mohist school's golden plaque. Even the entire Mohist family was required to change into their uniform Mohist uniforms.
Everyone was wondering what big thing was going to happen today and why there was no news from the Elders' Hall.
If you don’t know this, you might think we are going to welcome some important person!
Unconsciously, the Elders' Hall was in chaos at that time. In addition to the sixteen elders of the Mo Family, there were also the only legitimate descendants of the Mo Family of this generation. Mo Yin, Mo Yuan, and Mo Hanyi were all present safely.
However, none of the elders of the Mohist family attended, as if the Mohist family was now entirely under the control of Mo Yin.
These elders are an elite team selected from the Mohist clan. Their strength is unquestionable and they occupy an absolute leadership position in all walks of life.
