"Wei Kang, I've already said it. The person you mentioned who injured you was Yan Yu, someone from the Northern Military Region. It has nothing to do with Mu Yanxuan." Mu Yanxuan had told her about these things before and clearly stated that he had no direct connection to Wei Kang's injury, which is why she was able to be with him without hesitation. Otherwise, if Mu Yanxuan were involved in Wei Kang's injury, she would feel very uncomfortable, and she wouldn't have considered him one of her own in the first place.
"What's the difference..." Wei Kang covered his eyes with his hands, took a step back, raised his head and laughed a few times. His voice sounded hoarse and desolate in the night. "Ji Yueyao, do you think that's the only reason I hate the people in the military region!"
Ji Yueyao felt very uncomfortable looking at Wei Kang like this. She stepped forward to grab Wei Kang's arm, but before she could even reach out, Wei Kang had already taken a step back and avoided her hand.
"What other reason could there be?" Ji Yueyao frowned, and as she helplessly withdrew her hand, Mu Yanxuan grabbed it, and she felt her hand being tightly held in his palm.
How dare you reach out and touch another man? Mu Yanxuan coldly glanced at Wei Kang, a murderous intent secretly brewing in his heart.
Ji Yueyao couldn't bear to hurt her, but Wei Kang... what was he anyway?
"My dad died because of those bastards in the military region!" Wei Kang roared at Ji Yueyao, his emotions running high, and tears were already glistening in his eyes under the moonlight.
Ji Yueyao never forgot this scene long afterward. In the familiar yet unfamiliar training ground, her friend roared angrily under the moonlight. This was the deepest impression Wei Kang left on her, and it was also the end of everything.
More importantly... it marks the beginning of a new journey.
“Your father… was Wei Kang, who committed suicide.” Ji Yueyao took a deep breath, and Wei Jing’s kind smile appeared in her mind. A layer of sadness quickly filled her clear eyes. Wei Jing’s death was too profound for her. Whenever she thought of it, she felt a sense of grief.
Wei Kang approached Ji Yueyao, stopping when he was only a step away from her. "If his leg hadn't been injured, he would have been the head of the search department. How could he have died so tragically? His leg was ruined because of the people in the military region. My mother also died because of the people in the military region. If it weren't for the people in the military region... Dad wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't be the useless person I am today!"
"Therefore, no matter what, I don't want to have anything to do with the people in the military region!"
He wanted to become stronger, and the reason he wanted to become stronger was that he wanted to wipe out everyone in the military region. He wanted to kill that bastard, and he wanted to make them pay for all the pain they had inflicted on them! But because of Yan Yu… because of him, he lost everything. The squad leader position that should have been his in the search department, the higher position and strength that should have been his—all gone! Now, even his very existence felt like torture. How could someone who was nothing possibly talk about his goals?
On the contrary, Ji Yueyao climbed to a level that Wei Kang could not reach because of his injury... Wei Kang kept deceiving himself, deceiving himself that the crazy feeling in his heart was not jealousy, not the hatred derived from jealousy.
She's just a woman... He should have been on top of her all along!
He still remembers following behind Wei Jing as a child, watching the respectful way people treated them; he remembers Wei Jing's serious expression when teaching him martial arts at home; he remembers his mother standing at the door, affectionately calling them to come eat. Back then, he didn't have to worry about anything; he had his parents' love and didn't have to fret about anything.
If it weren't for that mission where I encountered that guy...
"Is this your excuse for your cowardice?" Seeing Ji Yueyao's slightly absent-minded look, Mu Yanxuan's displeasure reached its peak. He lowered his eyelids and looked at Wei Kang, his disdain in his eyes was undisguised. "It's a pity that someone like you is worthy of Ji Yueyao's attention. You're just a... piece of trash."
Silence. In that instant of silence, both Ji Yueyao and Wei Kang were stunned. Wei Kang stared at Mu Yanxuan in disbelief, then his eyes turned red as he conjured a ball of flame and attacked Mu Yanxuan. Sudden anger had completely overwhelmed his reason. "What did you say! Who do you think you are!"
Without moving an inch, Mu Yanxuan directly set up a vacuum membrane around the flames Wei Kang had thrown out. Then, as the flames extinguished, he ruptured the membrane, and the impact struck Wei Kang's head hard. Wei Kang felt a ringing in his head and collapsed without even being able to resist.
"Wei Kang!" Ji Yueyao exclaimed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Wei Kang up, but before her foot could even touch the ground, Mu Yanxuan had already pulled her back with a displeased expression.
"Don't go over there, he's not badly injured."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wei Kang, who had been lying on the ground, staggered to his feet. He gritted his teeth and roared at Ji Yueyao, "Ji Yueyao, who is he!"
Seeing Wei Kang in such a frantic and disheveled state, Ji Yueyao felt an inexplicable fire rising within her. She opened her mouth to speak, but Mu Yanxuan had already spoken.
"I am Mu Yanxuan, Ji Yueyao's man."
"..." Ji Yueyao choked on her saliva. Her eyes widened, and she stomped on Mu Yanxuan's foot hard. Did he have to say something so embarrassing at such a tense moment?
Wei Kang looked at the tall man standing next to Ji Yueyao, trembling but unable to say anything... This was Mu Yanxuan from the military region. He could send him flying without even moving... With his current strength, what was the point of talking about revenge?
Wei Kang clutched his head and squatted down, seemingly on the verge of collapse.
Seeing Wei Kang like this, Ji Yueyao's eyes stung. She released Mu Yanxuan's hand, stood in front of Wei Kang, and said calmly, "Wei Kang, let's have a match, just like before."
Looking at his empty hands, Mu Yanxuan realized that he had underestimated Wei Kang's importance in Ji Yueyao's heart. He looked up at Wei Kang and unconsciously clenched his fist.
What's his is his, and no one can take it away from him.
Upon hearing this, Wei Kang looked up and saw Ji Yueyao take a step back and assume an attack stance. "No special abilities needed, just a normal fight."
Seeing that Wei Kang didn't seem to have any intention of standing up, Ji Yueyao sighed and said, "Let's consider this our last duel as friends."
She had already said so much, and Wei Kang felt a tightness in his chest. Something familiar flashed by, so fast that he couldn't even catch it.
"Don't overestimate yourself..." If it were a normal fight... Wei Kang said in a low, suppressed voice, as if he felt a faint hope in his heart that he could win!
Standing up and regaining his balance, Wei Kang looked at Ji Yueyao, who was fighting in a defensive posture, and launched the first attack. (To be continued.)
