Yun Deguang was silent for a long time. In the end, he sighed softly and said, "Fine. Some things are suppressed in one's heart for too long. One can never get over it and never forget it. Since you are willing to listen to me ramble, then I will tell you about what happened in the past. "
"I am ashamed to say it. Back then, during the War of Resistance, my army represented Hua Xia to aid the neighboring country …"
Yun Deguang was an old Red Army soldier. Back then, he had many military achievements. However, very few people knew that in the last large-scale war recorded by Hua Xia to aid the neighboring country, Yun Deguang was seriously injured. He narrowly escaped death and the team he led was lost in a desolate primeval forest.
Back then, the battalion he led was almost completely annihilated, and he was the only one who survived.
Under normal circumstances, the seriously injured Yun Deguang most likely would not have survived in the harsh environment of the primeval forest where wild beasts roamed. Fortunately, he was saved by a herb-gatherer girl in the mountains. That girl brought Yun Deguang, who was seriously injured and unconscious, to a paradise. Then, she took good care of him every day and helped Yun Deguang recover from his injuries bit by bit.
"Even now, I still remember clearly that place. It was called the Phoenix Tail Village. It was a very beautiful place. The people there were simple and honest. They were warm and hospitable. I spent a blissful and leisurely time there. The maiden who saved me was called Feng Ling 'er. She was very beautiful, very kind, and very pure …"
However, reality was often more melodramatic than the stories. That lady, Feng Ling 'er, took care of Yun Deguang day and night. She was very concerned about him. As the saying goes, feelings grow with time. At that time, both of them were still young. When they were together, sparks flew.
"Everyone makes mistakes. Falling in love with her was the biggest mistake of my life. It was my most regretful and painful thing. Everything was my fault. I let her down … I am not a good man …"
Yun Deguang's expression was pained. Two streaks of tears rolled down his cheeks. He could no longer control his emotions when he told Mo Wen about the matter that had been suppressed in his heart for decades.
"Back then, you abandoned the maiden called Feng Ling 'er. Did you return to the modern city? "
Mo Wen asked softly. He could feel Yun Deguang's painstaking and unforgettable experiences from him. Mo Wen also understood that the so-called paradise was most likely in the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. The maiden called Feng Ling 'er appearing in the main space was most likely an accident. Meeting Yun Deguang was probably an accident. After all, the two of them had no prior contact.
"No, I wanted to take her away. I thought he would follow me, but I was wrong …"
"Then why didn't you stay in the Phoenix Tail Village?"
"Speaking of which, I'm a complete bastard. Actually, at that time, I already had a family. When my wife was pregnant, the war happened. I received orders to go to the neighboring country to assist in the war. At that time, when my wife was giving birth, I couldn't stay by her side. I couldn't even take a look at her. It was only later through letters that I found out that she had given birth to a son for me. I have a wife and a son at home, as well as elderly parents. I am the sole heir, so it is impossible for me to stay in the Phoenix Tail Village. "
Yun Deguang took a deep breath. This matter had always been hidden in his heart. Even his late wife didn't know. This was the first time in decades that she had spoken about it.
From a moral point of view, he was a complete scum. However, he really had never thought of hurting Feng Ling 'er. Back then, he was deeply influenced by the feudal ideology of the Republic of China. His father was also a warlord during that period. The concept of having multiple wives was very normal to him. However, he was not a playboy. He had only loved two women in his life. One was Yun Xiaoman's grandmother. The other was Feng Ling 'er.
At that time, he had wanted to bring Feng Ling 'er home and make her his concubine. However, although his thoughts were perfect, the reality was very cruel. Feng Ling 'er could not accept that he had another wife at all. In her heart, love was always the purest and most faithful. Both of them were the only ones for each other.
"Did you ever think of staying back then?" Mo Wen was also a little emotional. According to this, he most likely was not a good man. However, he was a little lucky. He had not encountered such a difficult choice.
"Of course I thought about it. I have never cheated on her feelings. I love her. I would rather suffer than hurt her. However, I still have a wife and a son at home, as well as my elderly parents. What can I do?"
Yun Deguang's face was filled with deep pain and helplessness. Even after so many years, the pain had not lessened. He had to go home. He was the only man in the family.
"Then how did you come back? With your ability, you most likely could not have come back by yourself. "
The Phoenix Tail Village was in the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension. Yun Deguang was just an ordinary person. He did not have the ability to travel through space. If Feng Ling 'er did not let him return, he most likely would never be able to return to the main space.
"Back then, she said that the space was called the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension and that I would never be able to find my way back. I begged her to let me go. She did not force me. At that time, she gave me two choices. One was to stay. She was willing to be my wife and forget everything outside. The other was that she could send me away and never come back. However, I had to bring a pot of Purplish Blue Flower with me until I died. "
Upon hearing this, Mo Wen suddenly understood. No wonder the Purplish Blue Flower had appeared in Yun Xiaoman's house. Logically, such an item was very difficult to find even in some remote mountains. It was impossible for it to appear in the house of an ordinary person. Moreover, the Purplish Blue Flower was a mature plant that was completely preserved.
"You also know about the Purplish Blue Flower," Yun Deguang said dejectedly.
After so many years, he finally realized that the Purplish Blue Flower was most likely a poison that Feng Ling 'er had left by his side. It could take his life at any time.
When he had given the Purplish Blue Flower to Mo Wen, no one could understand the complicated emotions he felt. He had thought that after so many years, he would die of old age. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Everything that had happened in the past was in the past. As such, he did not think too much about it and gave the Purplish Blue Flower to Mo Wen. He was not afraid of death. He was just afraid that the Purplish Blue Flower would harm his family.
"I see."
Mo Wen finally understood why Mo Qingtian said that Yun Xiaoman had been kidnapped by the Sorcerer Clan. It had something to do with him. The Purplish Blue Flower definitely had a mysterious power that he did not know about. Once it was far away from Yun Deguang, Feng Ling 'er, who was far away in the Ancient Sorcery Mystery Dimension, would be able to sense it. In order to take revenge on Yun Deguang for going back on his promise, she had kidnapped Yun Xiaoman.
"Little friend Mo Wen, please save Xiaoman. She is just a child. What does she know? It is all my fault. I have wronged her. If Ling 'er wants to kill me, I will wait for her to take my life at any time. I will have no regrets. But please don't hurt Xiaoman. "
Yun Deguang grabbed Mo Wen's hand. Sometimes, it was worse than death. Right now, he only wished for death. He only hoped that Xiaoman would be safe. (To be continued.)
