"Tian Ya was still a special existence in that family, and as he grew up, people began to avoid him more and more. They didn't want to talk to him or interact with him, as if he was infected with some sort of disease. Over there, even Tian Ya himself felt that he was superfluous. His personality had become independent and mature too early in that kind of environment. However, ever since he had Dia Wu by his side, his life completely changed. "
"After their sixth birthday, they were together almost every day, and had an endless amount of things to talk to each other about. At that time, Dia Wu already had her own teacher. She was incredibly intelligent, and by the time she was six, she could read over a thousand words and understand basic mathematics. When they were together, she would carefully teach Tian Ya everything she knew … Tian Ya had never gone to school before, but he wasn't an uneducated person. This was because he had a very good teacher, Dia Wu. No matter what Dia Wu taught him, he would learn it very quickly, and would never forget it. Afterwards, Dia Wu had even more cultural teachers, and would teach Tian Ya whatever she learned … at that time, Dia Wu's family didn't care much about her, and allowed her to do as she pleased. However, because they didn't want her to look for Tian Ya every day, they would stop her and scold her. Dia Wu was incredibly gentle and kind, but deep down, she was incredibly stubborn. She, who had always been obedient, refused to give in … the people from that family came to look for Tian Ya many times, threatening him to stop being with Dia Wu … at that time, one of Dia Wu's older brothers mocked him for being a bastard, and said that he should have been kicked out of the family a long time ago … he said many insulting things, but Tian Ya endured them all. Dia Wu's older brother was only ten or so years old, and was very strong. Tian Ya couldn't beat him, and didn't want to have a falling out with him, making it so that he wouldn't be able to see Dia Wu again … although Dia Wu's older brother kept threatening and insulting him, because of Tian Ya's special status, he didn't dare to hurt him … "
"Dia Wu's stubbornness was displayed to the extreme when she was very young. Perhaps, she was like Tian Ya, and treated him as the most important person in the world. In the end, that family could only compromise … as long as Dia Wu trained with the sword for six hours a day, she could do whatever she wanted the rest of the time. That family was a swordsman family, and was a very mysterious ancient martial family. Those families are still using cold weapons. "
"Dia Wu agreed … in the past, Dia Wu, who had never trained with the sword, and was even afraid of coming into contact with things that could hurt people, would train hard every day. After completing her daily quests, she would go to find Tian Ya, and he would teach her what she had learnt today. After she had some foundation in her sword skills and sword intent, and was able to train with the sword, she would show Tian Ya the new sword techniques she had learnt. She even casually told him that she would work hard to train with the sword, and become as powerful as her brother and father. That way, when she grew up, she would be able to protect him."
"Everything that she taught him, everything that she said to him, and every sword technique that she showed him, he would remember it all. He would even think of beautiful sword techniques together with Dia Wu to create beautiful sword techniques for him to play with. Although the time they spent together was very little after that, they were still very satisfied and happy. They were very, very young at that time, but they knew what attachment was too early. "
Ling Shui Ruo lightly pursed her lips, silently listening, not allowing herself to make a sound that would interrupt him. Before she had met him, she knew nothing about his past. She had asked him about it out of curiosity, but he had told her that he had already forgotten everything, and that he would only be her big brother. As such, she had never asked him about it again. If he couldn't bear to look back on the past, how could she bear to let him remember it again? However, deep within her heart, she still wanted to understand the complete him. If he had committed any sins, she would bear them with him. If he had many scars in the past, she would grieve with him, and then forget them together.
"Dia Wu's talent with the sword became more and more astonishing. She, who had been ignored in the past, was hailed as a genius by that family, and was heavily nurtured by them. At the same time, they reduced the time she spent with Tian Ya. However, none of this could stop Dia Wu's stubbornness. She would still go to find Tian Ya every day … especially on their birthday. She would spend the entire day with him. "
"They grew up day by day, and became more and more inseparable from each other. As Tian Ya grew up, people's gazes towards him became more and more strange. However, Tian Ya didn't care about all of this, as long as Dia Wu was by his side … however, even such a simple request was taken away from him. "
Ling Shui Ruo's hands subconsciously tightened, grabbing onto the clothes in front of his chest.
"That family had a young master … a young master who was respected by everyone. He grew up surrounded by praises and flattery, and anyone who saw him would greet him. No matter what orders he gave, they would immediately carry them out. That young master was only four years older than Tian Ya, but the aura around him was something that Tian Ya couldn't compare to. He was different to Tian Ya, who was always leisurely at home. That young master spent almost all of his time outside, and Tian Ya rarely saw him. Every time they met, he would nod towards Tian Ya warmly. Although he didn't speak to him, he wasn't as cold as other people. On the fifth day after Tian Ya's ninth birthday, he returned home for some reason, and accidentally brushed past Tian Ya. At that time, Tian Ya felt as if his leg had been pierced by something, and it was incredibly painful … he returned to his room, pulled up his pants, and found that there was indeed a small needle mark on his leg, and the bleeding had already stopped. At that time, Tian Ya thought that perhaps the young master had something sharp on him and accidentally stabbed him when they brushed past each other, but he didn't even notice it. At that time, Tian Ya didn't want to interact with anyone apart from Dia Wu, and didn't want to cause any trouble. As such, he didn't take it to heart, and didn't even tell Dia Wu about it. "
"However, from that night onwards, he felt as if his body was as light as a feather, and he could clearly feel his energy draining from his body. Normally, he would sleep after 10am, but this time, he fell asleep on his bed. The next day, he woke up very late, and didn't want to walk or eat anything. Moreover, the feeling of weakness in his body became more and more severe, and his face became paler and paler. However, in order to not worry Dia Wu, he tried his best to act normal in front of her. At that time, he simply thought that he had caught a cold, and that he would be fine in a few days … three days later, a group of people wearing white robes suddenly came to the family, and said that they were going to perform a routine physical examination on everyone in the family. This kind of inspection was common in that family, especially for the servants. Every time, the inspection would be very strict. However, this time, they came much earlier than usual. Normally, Tian Ya didn't need to be examined, and no one paid any attention to him. However, this time, they insisted on examining him … the results of the examination caused the entire family to fall into a state of terror. "
Ling Chen's eyes opened a slit, revealing a hateful look, "Tian Ya's body carries the world's most terrifying virus … Isloka!!"
"Ahhh!!" Shui Ruo cried out uncontrollably, her body trembling. She grabbed onto Ling Chen's hand as she anxiously cried out, "What happened afterwards? What happened afterwards? Tian Ya … what happened to him …"
Ling Chen gently held Shui Ruo's hand as he said in a gentle tone, "The news that Tian Ya had the Isloka Virus caused everyone in the family to fall into a state of terror … luckily, Tian Ya didn't carry the Isloka Virus for too long, and didn't infect anyone. Apart from Tian Ya, no one else was infected. That day, the entire family carried out a meticulous cleaning and disinfection of every inch of land. Everything related to Tian Ya was burned and destroyed. Tian Ya, in the eyes of others, was like a terrifying demon. No matter who saw him, they would run away with a face full of fear. The aunty who usually cooked for him and took care of his daily life also avoided him from afar, not daring to approach him again … That afternoon, he was captured by a few people wearing thick isolation suits and locked in a small house at the back of the family's compound. He was locked inside. They said that it was only a temporary quarantine, and that they wouldn't let the virus infect anyone. They also said that they would immediately tell the head of the family and let him take care of this. "
"Tian Ya was already nine years old at that time, and knew how terrifying the Isloka Virus was. Isloka Virus doesn't have an incubation period, and once infected, it will quickly devour a person's life. At that time, Tian Ya had already been infected for four days, and adding on the fear and despair he felt, he didn't even have the strength to stand. He lay on the cold ground like a corpse, wishing that he could just die there. However, he couldn't bear to die, because he couldn't bear to part with Dia Wu. "
"Just as he was muttering Dia Wu's name, Dia Wu appeared. She used a key that she found somewhere to open the tightly locked door, and rushed over to him, hugging him as she cried. When he saw Dia Wu, he felt as if he was in a dream. However, he immediately became terrified, and pushed her away, yelling at her to leave and not to come near him. Even if he died, he didn't want to infect Dia Wu. However, Dia Wu still rushed over and hugged him tightly, and no matter how much he pushed or pulled, he couldn't let her go … "
Thinking back to that scene, Ling Chen's heart trembled with warmth and pain.
"That night, Dia Wu carried Tian Ya, who no longer had the strength to walk, to the creek that they often went to. The night was beautiful, and there weren't even any clouds in the sky. Tian Ya rested his head on Dia Wu's legs, and could see the stars in the sky, as well as Dia Wu looking at him. His eyes were prettier than the stars in the sky … "
… …
"Dia 'Er, I don't want to die … if I die, I won't be able to see your eyes again … I won't be able to hear your voice again … Dia' Er …"
"Big brother Tian Ya, you're a man, you can't … you can't cry, none of us can cry … you'll definitely be fine … no matter what, I'll always be by your side … my everything belongs to my Tian Ya. If big brother Tian Ya really dies … I … will also die … no one will ever see my eyes again, and no one will ever hear my voice again …"
… …
The voice from that night, and the promise that came from a young girl, seemed to be ringing in his ears, assaulting all of his senses and emotions.
