In the Yuan Family Manor's main hall, Li Yijie dropped to his knees and said, "Yuan Family Manor Head, I have indeed lost the bet with you. I have personally promised you that only if I can take ten stances from you, I will be qualified to ask about Xueer's information. This time, perhaps I have to go back on my word. In all my life, I have always kept my word, perhaps this is the only time I have ever been shameless. But in the face of love, who can retreat unscathed? Right now I am kneeling in front of you, begging you. If you insist on not allowing me, I won't say I will kneel here until I die, but wherever you go, I will follow. This is not a threat, it is just an infatuated person's heartfelt plea. Do you understand the feeling of losing one's love? It is like a person who is buried alive, and from then on the world is like a cold-blooded ice cave to him. You are an expert beyond this world, perhaps you cannot understand the feelings of people in the secular world, but we also witness the rise and fall of the moon. When the first ray of sunlight shines on your body, do you feel warm? When the cold moon clears at night, the cold rain is like a blade, do you feel cold? Every person who comes to this world, regardless of whether the birth of life is joy or sorrow, he has the right to live, to live, to feel all the love in the world, to have all the warmth. I ask you to consider this and that. When you feel warm, do you want other people to share it with you? If there is a young girl, within your power, but you do not save her, and from then on she lies in an ice- cold grave, never to see the sun again, never to feel the slightest bit of warmth in her body, will you grieve for her, will you feel sorry for her? Her family and friends are here to ask you to understand the warmth in her life, don't let a fresh flower that should be blooming wither prematurely. "
The Yuan Family Manor Head let out a cold humph and said, "To have a grave is already very good. In this world, there are many people who have committed grave sins, but after they die, they do not have a place to be buried. Moreover, birth, old age, illness, and death are common occurrences; this is also the law of the world's development. Your enemy's family will gain power and limitless glory, but after a hundred years, they will also die and turn into a pile of white bones, but no one is more wealthy than the other. Everyone is treated equally, the only difference is the difference between early and late death. Even if you save her now, in the future you still won't be able to overcome the parting of life and death. Obtaining and then losing again, that is the deepest sorrow. Young people were not used to seeing life and death, so they might as well start from this moment and get used to it. Who knows how many more times you'll have to experience this in the future. Could it be that you're going to cry like this and seek death? "
Li Yijie sternly said, "That's not it. Life is fleeting, fate intertwines, it's really hard to grasp even the slightest bit. In the vast sea of people, meeting each other was a one-in-a-million coincidence. Even if it would eventually dissipate, leaving not even a speck of dust behind, every time the years passed, remembering everything that they once had was still the most beautiful thing that was worth moving. Everyone around me, I used my greatest feelings to cherish and retain them. Former Manor Lord, with the ease of your hand, you can make some place in the world more joyful, a pair of lovers happy to be reunited. The heart of gratitude was like a seed. It had no origin and was scattered everywhere. When you sow it, a little bit of warmth and moisture could make it take root and germinate. In the coming year, it would bloom into a flower of goodwill. The fragrance of this flower is shared by you, me, and everyone. Perhaps you are very resourceful and have never asked for anyone's help, nor are you willing to give back to others. However, in Junior's opinion, doing good deeds is not only accumulating virtue, it is also a kind of responsibility in the world, an innate responsibility. There is an ancient saying, 'drinking water is the source of inspiration.' To be able to come to this world, to see the warm spring flowers bloom, to see the rise and fall of glory and disgrace, to create a wonderful life that belongs to you alone, isn't that also a kind of contribution? Isn't this also a kind of deep gratitude to the creator? "
The former Manor Lord coldly said, "You're very good at preaching to people. I don't know if this is related to the fact that you've been sitting in the Wulin Alliance Head position for a long time. Young man, I can only say that your experience is too shallow. You haven't seen the hundred forms of the world, the rough vicissitudes of life. At the beginning of life, in your life, from the beginning to the end, the only one who accompanied you was yourself. If you trust others too much, you'll only get betrayal. Only when you're truly strong can you be looked up to by tens of thousands of people, and no one dares to go against you! Don't blame your enemies. If you weren't inferior to others, how could they have the qualifications to offend you? In a way, not only are they not your stumbling block, you should instead be grateful to them. It was them who allowed you to see your own inadequacies and make progress. "
Li Yijie thought back to when he was just a small disciple of the Huashan Sect, mediocre and mediocre. He had only mastered a sword style and received his master's praise, which could be considered a good thing that day. It was enough for him to boast to his other martial brothers for a long time. Although those days were empty, they were also solid.
The greater one's ambition, the more effort one had to put in to achieve it. In the future, if he hadn't met Jiang Liechen, in order to get rid of this arrogant devil for the world, diligently practicing martial arts, painstakingly studying, he definitely wouldn't have achieved what he had today.
But in his heart, the glory he gathered was nothing more than an empty halo. It couldn't bring him true happiness. How many nights had he woken up alone in the dark, feeling dejected and depressed? He wished that everything could go back to the beginning, that he and Nangong Xue were still on Huashan, those two little disciples who only saw the sky above the well.
The original Manor Master saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, he thought that this young man had convinced him. He had lived in a secluded place for a long time, all the servants in the Manor respected him as their master. Of course he meant what he said, hundreds of people responded to his call, nobody dared to refute. To be able to talk endlessly and talk freely with someone about the truth of life was something that had never happened before. His heart was filled with contentment, and his impression of Li Yijie also rose a bit.
He had never been prejudiced against the secular world. In his opinion, a junior talking back to an elder was not an unforgivable offense. But the words had to be reasonable. The most annoying thing was that he was inflexible and rigid, with no opinion of his own. He was indeed a strict teacher and strict father, but he wasn't an old fogey who didn't understand feudalism. Yuan Yi's temperament was so lively, a large part of it was because he had inherited his father's teachings.
Li Yijie was choked with anger, his voice swallowing, he was silent for a long time before he finally said, "You said that one must see all kinds of things in the world, then all kinds of darkness and falsehood are only one side of it, we can't use one side to cover the whole. As long as there is still a little bit of beauty in the world, as long as there is still light in people's hearts, then the world can still be saved, it is still worth fighting for … "
Yuan Yi took a step forward and emotionally said, "Father, since childhood your child has always wanted to be strong, I have never begged you for anything. Today is the first time I am begging you, please help Brother Li! I have seen them go through hardships with my own eyes, with great difficulty they walked step by step together, but before they could taste the joy of love, they had to be separated by life and death. Fate wants to leave, it won't stay for even a moment longer. You understand the pain of separation, the separation between heaven and man, never to see each other again. Why should you let other people experience it again and destroy the happiness of a pair of promising young people? What's more, Xueer was kidnapped the day before the big wedding, this kind of action goes against the foundation of the chivalrous path, those who are wise will seek justice together! "
Only now did the original Manor Lord's countenance change slightly, he said, "The hatred of taking one's wife cannot be forgiven! The one who helped that pair of adulterers, but was abandoned, had to raise the flesh and blood she left behind by herself, how miserable was that … "It was unknown what past events were in his mind, but the resolute lines on his face softened slightly.
The two of them thought that there was a turning point for the better, but just as they were about to speak, the original Manor Lord's countenance suddenly darkened, the gentleness of a moment ago seemed like a completely unrelated person. He coldly said, "As a man, if he can't even protect his own wife, what right does he have to complain and beg for pity? What's more, that kind of fickle, fickle, fickle woman, there is no pity in losing her. Since there is no family to tie you down, you can concentrate on accomplishing great deeds, making all the world look up to you. "
Nangong Xue was clearly kidnapped, why would he say the words' adulterers' and 'fickle woman'? Li Yijie felt indignant, he would not allow anyone to insult Nangong Xue's pure reputation. He was about to open his mouth to defend himself when Yuan Yi suddenly seemed to understand something, he raised his hand to stop him, he said, "Father, I promise you, as long as you are willing to save Miss Nangong this time, from now on I will put away all my thoughts and stay in the Manor, focusing on reviving the family. By your side, if you want me to practice martial arts, I will practice martial arts, I will become everything you want me to be, I will no longer have any extravagant hopes of being independent. In any case, this life was given to me by you, living for you is to repay you, to fulfill the filial piety of a son. "
The original Manor Lord raised his eyebrows, he said, "Are you serious? Are you really willing to take over my position and become the Manor Lord's successor, from now on you have a pure heart and few desires, and no longer have any ties with the secular world? Before you speak, you must think carefully. If you do that, you will no longer be able to enjoy many of the pleasures of the world. "Yuan Yi said," Once a promise is made, I vow not to go back on it. "
The original Manor Lord laughed heartily, he said, "Very good! In the past, in order to pursue your own goals, you have had many conflicts with your father. Now, because of two unrelated outsiders, you want to give up your struggle and come back to be my obedient son? Ha ha ha, this kind of self-sacrificing foolishness, you are indeed worthy of being my son! "
Li Yijie did not know whether his words were praise or derision, but he saw that Yuan Yi's expression was filled with unwillingness, his entire body was wrapped in layers of sorrowful air, yet he still pretended not to care. Li Yijie felt as if his heart had been punched heavily.
He, Li Yijie, could be incompetent, muddle-headed, without a single redeeming feature, but because of his incompetence, he could not harm the friends by his side. He decisively cut him off, "No, Gongzi Yuan, I appreciate your good intentions as a brother, but I cannot let you give up your dreams for me. Original Manor Lord, if I request to replace your son, sell myself as a servant, and work hard for the Manor for the rest of my life, can I use this as a condition in exchange? "
The original Manor Lord's attitude towards Li Yijie changed again, he said, "As a person, you should not be too complacent, thinking that if you make a little sacrifice, everyone will accommodate you. Allow this old man to praise himself, my Yuan Manor is full of talented people. This small manor's strength is not inferior to your Central Plains' Martial Union! We do not need a servant like you, and you do not have the qualifications to negotiate with us. "
Seeing that Li Yijie still had a lot to say, and Yuan Yi looked at him pitifully, begging his father not to be so heartless, he was finally moved by the unique spirit of these two juniors. He softened his tone and said, "This old man has a compromise. You are the Martial Union Leader of the Central Plains, no matter how big or small you are, your position is not low. The Yuan Family just happens to have a daughter who is a few years younger than you. Betrothing her to you is not considered to be wronging you. When you become my son-in-law, what can we not discuss between our families? Today, you will marry her, and tomorrow, I will save that little girl for you. If that Seven Demons brat dares to go against your Martial Union again, it will be the same as going against the Four Great Clans. We will step forward and take care of him for you. What do you think? "
Yuan Yi's expression became more and more stiff, and an extremely strange expression gradually appeared on his face. If he was not mistaken, the burden on his shoulders seemed to have suddenly lightened. He looked at Li Yijie with a smile, waiting for his reply.
Before the original Manor Lord spoke, Li Yijie would never have expected that he would want to talk about this matter. To be able to become the son-in-law of one of the Four Great Clans, in the eyes of many people, it was a blessing cultivated in their previous lives. The wonderful thing was that he was the Martial Union Leader, and he was well-matched with the daughter of the Yuan Family. Anyone who heard of this would say that this was a beautiful marriage.
