The original Manor Lord snorted coldly and said, "I thought you were smart enough, but I didn't expect you to be a foolish and infatuated man! No matter how deep your love is, it can't defeat death. That woman will soon become an emotionless corpse, and it's not something your petty love can change. Do you want to hold on to your love and watch her walk towards death, or do you want to give up small benefits and let her live on? Without life, everything is just empty talk! Even if she hates you for the time being, it's better to have a short pain than a long pain. She will be able to accept life without you sooner or later and start a new life. You should never see her again and stop thinking about her. I don't believe that after three to five years, she will still be thinking about you. "
Li Yijie said, "Perhaps there's nothing good about this junior, but feelings can't be forced. Once it happens, it's hard to stop. It's precisely because I'm good for nothing that Xueer cares about me. In this world, we are the people who understand each other the best. Without me, without her, it's like we're living in hell. The endless days are torturous, and the years of missing her are even more torturous. This kind of life without any joy is more painful than death! Letting her live and know that I've changed my heart is the cruelest thing! Even if I can get her understanding, even if everyone knows that I'm not trying to curry favor with her, I will still feel sorry for her and will never forgive myself! We can't share the same quilt when we're alive, but we can share the same coffin when we're dead! I'll go alone to find the Seven Malevolent Demons and fight a fierce battle with Xueer. In the end, we won't be able to defeat him, and we'll die together! Original Manor Lord, this junior is really sorry for causing you so much trouble. From now on, I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave first. "
He didn't wait for the Manor Lord's reply and left resolutely. His face was full of determination. After saying those words, it was as if he was saying his last words, "A brave warrior will never return." He no longer had any thoughts of returning alive.
Yuan Yi couldn't bear it and pulled Li Yijie's sleeve, saying, "Brother Li, what are you saying? We're all friends. Father said those words just now, which means he's already made some concessions and agreed to your request. Why aren't you thanking him? " Li Yijie was silent for a long time before he pulled his arm away and shook his head, "Don't say anymore. If I have to leave Xueer as the price, I'd rather not accept this favor."
Yuan Yi's't know whether to laugh or cry and said Li's Said, "Father, if you don't tell him the truth, my's brother's going to die, wouldn't that's wrong's wrong?" Li Yijie's brows.......... he............... His heart was filled with unhappiness, and he had no other interest.
Yuan Yi smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Li, my father has no daughter, and I am his only son. Where do you want me to find a girl to be your wife? He's always wanted to save face. Even if he had to compromise with someone, he wouldn't say it directly. Instead, he wants to beat around the bush and beat around the bush to make you understand. Actually, what he said just now was just to test you. He wanted to see if you're really someone worth trusting. Next time, don't throw a tantrum. After a few words, you'll just turn around and leave. We can't afford to serve you. "
Li Yijie felt as if he was in a dream. He looked at Yuan Yi, then his gaze turned to the Manor Head. He still couldn't believe that such a windfall would fall from the sky.
The Manor Head let down his guard and looked like a kind-looking old man. He looked at Li Yijie and smiled faintly, saying, "What an affectionate Alliance Head! Love and affection are just the most beautiful lies. Before wealth and power, feelings have long been stripped away. How many feelings are left? There aren't many young people in this world who can remain unmoved by poverty, uncorrupted by wealth, unyielding in might, and always be infatuated with their lover. In times of poverty, it's not difficult to depend on each other for survival. What's difficult is to sit in a high position of power and not forget your roots even after riches and honor. That's a real man! That's what I admire the most in my life! Young man, you've won this round. Lao Fu admits his inferiority! "
Li Yijie suddenly experienced great sorrow and great joy. For a moment, he found it hard to accept. He looked at the Manor Head and laughed foolishly. At this moment, even if he had a thousand words, he would feel powerless. It was difficult to express his gratitude.
Yuan Yi pulled his hands and said with a smile, "That's right, Brother Li. I know Father wouldn't want to miss out on a talent like you. Too bad we met too late. You have to promise me first that we'll become in-laws. Because the rules of our ancestors cannot be changed, only by making you part of our family will you be able to freely enter and leave the Manor. I'm giving you a way out of this embarrassing situation. You must not refuse, okay? "
Li Yijie was extremely moved. He firmly grasped Yuan Yi's hand. It was as if he had merged with the most sincere feelings he had ever felt in his life. He said, "Young Master Yuan, please give me face and acknowledge me as your Big Brother. However, since we first met, it was always you who helped me in all sorts of difficult situations. I won't forget your great kindness even if I spend the rest of my life. I haven't studied much, so I can't say the word 'thank you'! Everything needs to be said without words. "
Suddenly, he remembered the agreement he made with the Manor Head. He really didn't want Yuan Yi's life to be buried. He gave him an inch and wanted a mile. He wanted to plead for him one more time. He said softly, "Manor Head … Young Master Yuan's matter …"
The Manor Head didn't hear him. He said, "Yijie, I'll send my servants out to investigate in a moment. A round trip will take a few days. You can stay in the Manor for the time being. Another day, I'll ask Yi 'er to bring you around to take a look. Just now, I saw that your foundation in martial arts is not bad. There are only a few areas where you're lacking. The changes in your moves are too rigid and the connections are not smooth. You can deal with ordinary moves, but once you meet a real expert, you can only wait helplessly for death. In terms of internal energy cultivation, it's not easy for someone your age to have such attainments. Even when I was young, I might not have been able to touch it. But when you exchange moves, you have a boundless amount of internal energy. It's just that you don't know how to use it. It's like pouring water into the sea without any restrictions. If you continue like this, you'll definitely be destroyed. If you still trust me, come with me to my room later. I'll pass on a few techniques to you. Perhaps they'll be able to resolve your predicament. "
Li Yijie said, "Many thanks to the Manor Head." Before he could mention Yuan Yi's matter, the Manor Head suddenly turned around and waved his hand. He said, "Yi 'er, father has a few words to say to you. Come with me to my room." Just now, his face was amiable, but now his face was serious. Li Yijie couldn't help but secretly worry about Yuan Yi. But when he thought about how the father and son were talking about family matters, he hesitated at the door for a while. In the end, he didn't dare to follow.
The Manor Head led Yuan Yi through a doorway and along a small path. Yuan Yi looked at the surrounding scenery. It was very familiar, but he couldn't imagine it. He was secretly surprised and couldn't help but doubt his own guess. Finally, the two of them arrived at a side room at the end of the path. The Manor Head hesitated in front of the door for a long time. Just when Yuan Yi thought his mind had wandered off, he sighed and said, "Let's go in."
At a glance, it was obvious that this was a woman's bedroom. The decorations were very warm and elegant. Although it had been a long time since anyone lived here, the floor was clean and tidy, spotless. Several flower vases were placed in the places the Manor Head had chosen. Among them, there were several dewy lilies. The big bed was wrapped with several large red flower ribbons. It was just like when a newlywed was married, but something seemed to be missing.
Several exquisite paintings of court ladies were hung on the wall. The frames of the paintings were covered with a layer of ice from the Western Regions. This could protect the paintings and paintings from turning yellow due to age. On the ground, several pots of flowers and plants were growing very well. It seemed that they were competing to be the first to flourish. Yuan Yi stood in the middle of the room and looked around. His vision was gradually filled with tears. He said, "Father, is this … is Mother's former bedroom?"
The Manor Head said, "That's right. In the past, I didn't dare to come to this room. It was only because every scene and every object seemed like Ah Yin was still by my side. This feeling of going from something to nothing made me feel even more lonely. Listening to the drums of dawn and dusk here, as the last rays of light on the horizon faded, everything returned to darkness and silence. I really couldn't stand it. But I didn't want this room to be abandoned. Every day, I would still find a maid to clean it. Morning and evening, I couldn't slack off. Just like before … I don't know if you can understand why Father is telling you this. "
While walking slowly in the room, he stood in front of a tall reclining chair. He gently stroked the tiger skin on the back of the chair. He said, "This tiger skin was given to Ah Yin by me. Her smile was as bright as the peach blossoms in March. I still can't forget it. "
Yuan Yi sighed and said, "Of course I understand. That kind of … feeling of losing the most important person in your life. It's like the sky collapsing. It's also like a piece of your heart is missing. It's empty and can't be filled. "
The Manor Head said, "Exactly. It's hard for you to have this kind of feeling at such a young age. In vain, I boasted that I was omnipotent. In the end, I couldn't even keep the life of the woman I loved. I really don't know what benefit all these years of struggle brought. Don't you think I'm useless? This kind of father must have disappointed you, right? "
Yuan Yi said, "No, Father. Don't say that. How can all of this be your fault? It's all because of that hateful scoundrel who overestimated himself and came to fight with you. He clearly knew that Mother was a married woman, but he still didn't know how to behave himself. In the end, he was dissatisfied and secretly had an affair. He actually abducted her and eloped with her. You wanted to kill that adulterer. In the end, it was just … just a momentary slip of the hand. "
The Manor Head smiled bitterly and said, "You don't have to comfort me. Maybe all of this is fate. People are destined to not be able to fight against the heavens. For many years, I didn't dare to face up to the mistakes I made in the past. I avoided everything and ordered the servants not to mention Ah Yin. I collected all of her belongings and locked them in the small house. However, the human mind is the strangest thing. You can control thousands of troops and thousands of horses, but you can't control a single strand of longing. If others don't mention it, can I also not think about it? On the contrary, my love for her became stronger and stronger. Many times in the middle of the night, my tears wet the pillow. How I hoped that Ah Yin could come back. If she could stand in front of me and smile at me, I would do anything for her. Even if I had to use the wealth of the Manor Head, I wouldn't hesitate. All of the money and power, compared to her, were just a pile of dung to me. I even thought that in the past, I shouldn't have been so decisive and led people to chase them for thousands of miles. If I had just let the two of them leave and live a comfortable life, wouldn't it have been better? At least I know that Ah Yin is still alive. She will still be in some corner of the world, enjoying laughter and being pampered by someone … It's really strange that I would have such strange thoughts. It seems that in front of Ah Yin, I am no longer myself. "
Yuan Yi blurted out, "But I like this kind of affectionate Father! How many years has it been? It turns out that you still miss Mother … I thought that you had already let go of it, and even … secretly resented you in your heart. This is all in the past. "
