Xiao Bing said in a cold voice, “Be clear that I won’t agree to your first condition.”

Blood Wolf said, “Of course. I understand. I have no ambition for gaining the position of Sect Master because I am convinced by your ability and prestige. I just don’t like your leadership style. If we can be on the same page, I would still like to consider you as my Sect Master and I will take the punishment for what I have done before.”

Xiao Bing said, “We are different people.”

Blood Wolf nodded and said, “Yes, we are different. In this case, Sect Master should consider the second point I mentioned. If I become the new Sect Master, I promise I will treat all the members well and greatly develop our sect. Maybe one day, we will bring Buddhism to their knees. We will become the biggest organization in the dark world, and make the whole world tremble. You established Dragon Gate. Don’t you want to see it become the greatest?”

Xiao Bing rubbed his nose and asked, “Do I have other options?”

Blood Wolf shook his head and said coldly, “People seldom have any choices in life. You are lucky enough to have two options today. Has God ever given me a second choice in my life? No! My life has always been a single-choice question.”

Xiao Bing said, “Actually, you can still make a choice now. Start over and follow me in the Dragon Gate. You will have plenty of time to make up for the mistakes you have made.”

“It’s too late!” Blood Wolf said stubbornly. “Since I have already taken this bloody road, I cannot turn back. Moreover, I’ve never believed I was wrong in the past. If I was wrong, I would have been eaten by the vicious monsters 20 years ago. Sect Master, now that you have come to Jiang City, you’d better stay here and never go back. Don’t force me to resort to arms. You will be hurt, and so will the people around you.”

Blood Wolf turned around and walked into the darkness. His body was so straight, just like his hair, that no one in the world could bend his spine. He was a dignified and proud man. However, he embarked on a different road from Xiao Bing. Even if it was destined to lead to the unending darkness, Blood Wolf did not care at all. Even if death was in front of him, even if he had to be against the whole world, he had to go forward.

He was a blood wolf, a peerless ferocious wolf that would keep fighting till the end!

After Blood Wolf disappeared, Yezi finally felt relieved. She took a deep breath to calm down. Then she looked at Xiao Bing and asked worriedly, “Is that person your enemy?”

Xiao Bing answered, “Not previously, maybe in the future.”

Yezi looked worried. “He looks terrible. I feel.. I don’t know how to say. I feel he was the most terrible person I have ever seen. As if he won’t give up until he destroys the world. Brother Bing, who is he?”

“The traitor in Dragon Gate, Blood Wolf.”

Yezi was shocked, “Was he the one who killed Sister Peiya..”

“Yes!” Xiao Bing nodded and said, “You are right about one thing. He is a terrible person who will never give up until he destroys the whole world. He feels that the world has betrayed him and he wants it pay. He is a terrible person, but he’s also a pitiful person. Alas.. Sometimes, it is difficult to determine if some people are good or bad. This is fate!”

Yezi asked, “What are you going to do?”

Xiao Bing was silent, sitting down on the step, holding his thighs, and looking at the stars in the sky. Yezi sat beside him. She snuggled up to Xiao Bing and said softly, “I don’t want to be a burden to you.”

Xiao Bing forced a smile. He did not expect Yezi to see through him. In the depths of his heart, Xiao Bing naturally wanted to stop Blood Wolf and avenge his brothers, but now he had scruples and bonding. If those people didn’t know Yezi, he could be more flexible—He could kill them. Even if he could not, he could run away and wait for another chance.

However, now that they knew of Yezi’s existence, Xiao Bing was afraid that even if there was only a one percent possibility, they would still try and hurt Yezi because she was everything to him.

But if he did nothing, how would he explain himself to Su Xiaoxiao and Lil Bei seeing he had promised them he would avenge Peiya? How would he fulfill his promise? If Peiya and Old Lei in the netherworld knew what he did, how would he answer for it?

Xiao Bing said, “The people in the Dragon Gate are not so easy to control. Even though Old Lei and Peiya have died, once Blood Wolf replaces me and tries to violate the original rules I made for the sect that we can’t harm national interests, those people will not obey him. We should live our lives since I am not interested in those things anymore. I really want to see how he will make the world tremble.”

Yezi asked, “What about Peiya and Brother Lei? How will you avenge them?”

Xiao Bing said, “Vengeance doesn’t come cheap.”

Yezi looked at Xiao Bing with tearful eyes and asked, “Have you ever thought of Xiaoxiao? What about your promise to her? Haven’t you promised to avenge her sister?”

“Even if I avenged her sister, what would change? Will it bring back her sister?”

Yezi suddenly stood up and ran over the river dam. She stood in a place without steps, placed one foot in the emptiness before and threw her arms open.

Xiao Bing was stunned.

Yezi looked firmly at Xiao Bing, saying, “Brother Bing, you are an indomitable man who can support the sky even if it collapses. If you became overcautious because of me, then I will jump off here!”

Xiao Bing hurriedly stood up, looking at her in shock. He asked aloud, “Don’t you hope to have a peaceful life with me?”

Yezi answered loudly, “I do. Of course I do. I wish you can be safe every day, and no longer suffer from those fights and killings. I wish we can enjoy a peaceful two-person world and I no longer have to worry about you. If you really think so in your heart, then I don’t care whether you are going to take revenge or not. But you are my man. How can I not know what you are thinking? You are restraining yourself. You don’t want to take revenge and you want to be with me. But will you be at peace with that?”

“Physical pain is torture, but guilt and pain in the heart is more than torture. Especially for a man like you, it is a kind of agony. Brother Bing, I don’t want you to endure all that because of me. What’s more, I don’t want you to change. I love you, and I wish you to be who you are.”

“Even if there will be danger, even if I will be worried, so what? If anything bad happens to you, I will be with you even if I have to die. We will be a happy couple in the netherworld!”

“I will live if you do, I die if you do. I am not asking you to protect the world, but I hope you can follow your heart and be happy. As for the rest, to live or to die, what’s there to be afraid of?”

Xiao Bing was stunned by her words. Yes, to live or to die, what’s there to be afraid of?

Ever since Xiao Bing had Yezi, he was very careful when he did things. There were so many options to weigh that he dared not do anything even if he wanted to. At this moment, with Yezi’s words and reminders, the chains in his heart seemed to be unlocked. His courage and audacity returned as he received inspiration from Yezi. In the past, Xiao Bing had more awareness after he fell in love with Yezi but formed a shackle in his heart which trapped him. But now, the shackles finally disappeared, and Xiao Bing gained some new insights.historical

Yezi suddenly noticed that Xiao Bing looked a little different. She took her foot back and looked at Xiao Bing with sparkling eyes. “Brother Bing, you..”

The moment Xiao Bing figured it out, he finally broke through the layer of spiritual barriers and reached the middle level of the Breaking the Void. However, none of the happiness it brought was as great as the one he felt when he figured this out.

Xiao Bing leaped high and landed on the spot dozens of steps higher. Seeing his swift movement, Yezi’s eyes sparkled like small stars.

Xiao Bing pushed his palms in the air, and the waves immediately began to rise above the river, one higher than the other until it reached more than ten meters high. Yezi widened her eyes and her cherry mouth gaped as she thought, “My man is a superhero.”

It’s been a long time since Xiao Bing had been so carefree. After being with Yezi, Xiao Bing was happy, but he lacked some freedom because he began to restrain himself in his heart. At this moment, he chortled. “Don’t let other people’s ideas affect me; I just have to be myself.”

“Yezi, you were right and I was wrong. If people can’t be themselves in the world, their lives will be meaningless. Don’t worry. I will avenge Peiya. With my current strength, no one can stop me. After I make my enemy pay for what he had done to Peiya and Old Lei, I will accompany you every day to live a peaceful life in the future.”

Yezi smiled. This was the Xiao Bing she wanted to see, who was unrestrained and happy.

Xiao Bing landed beside Yezi and held her in his arms. He looked at her with joy and said, “Yezi, you unlocked the shackles in my heart, and my martial arts has made great progress. How should I thank you?”

Yezi’s eyes shone brightly as she asked, “Do you really want to thank me?”

“Of course.” Xiao Bing said seriously, “Do you know what you mean to me? Do you know what the words you just said mean to me? No one can unlock the shackles in my heart. The only person in the world who can persuade me is you.”

Hearing Xiao Bing’s words, Yezi was very happy. It was not sweet talk because she knew that Xiao Bing was sincere. She smiled sweetly, and her eyes beamed like the stars. “If you want to thank me, you can drink beer and eat skewers with me. Then, you have to carry me and take me flying, like what you did just now.”

“Okay!”

Thinking of the way they met each other for the first time, they both laughed.
