Chapter 4 - The Boy’s Tear (2/2)

Her name is Yun Qingwan. She was Mu Feng’s childhood friend and they were betrothed.

“Wan Er……”

Mu Feng called out her name softly and said sadly: “What should I do now? My Meta-pulses are destroyed, my cultivation has gone down the drain, and I’ve lost my father. How can I avenge their deaths with this broken body?”

Mu Feng sobbed in her embrace. She had never seen this fragile side of him before.

“That’s not true, Feng, I’m still here with you. No matter what happens, I will stay by your side and never leave you. You are the breeze and I am the leaf. The leaf will go anywhere the breeze blows. Feng, pull yourself together. I’m still waiting for the day where you conquer the whole world for me, just like you once said you would.”

Yun Qingwan put her chin on Mu Feng’s head and kept wiping away his tears. As she used her warmth to comfort the young man, she felt intense pain in her heart, as though her own heart was breaking as well.

“Sister.”

A voice rang out from afar. A young boy dressed in blue robes who was around 17 or 18 years old walked towards them. He had a handsome face but frowned when he saw the scene.

“Brother.”

Wan Er turned around in shock when she saw him: “Why are you here?”

He was Yun Yi, the little lord of the Yun family and Yun Qingwan’s elder brother.

“Father wants you to go home.”

He approached her and started to pull Qingwan away from Mu Feng without even glancing at Mu Feng.

“No, I don’t want to leave. I want to stay beside Feng!”

Qingwan shook off his hand and said firmly.

“You want to stay by his side? Him, a cripple? Follow me back home now, father ordered me to bring you back home this instant!”

Yun Yi looked at Mu Feng disdainfully and said in a stronger tone. He then pulled at Wan Er’s hand once more. However, this time, Wan Er didn’t try to break free from his grasp.

“Why? Didn’t father allow me to stay in the Mu family? I’m not going anywhere!”

“Let go of her.”

At this point, Mu Feng also stood up and said coldly: “Yun Yi, even if you’re her brother, you have no rights to force her!”

Upon hearing his words, Yun Yi laughed and said in disdain: “Mu Feng, what made you think that you have the right to speak? What could you possibly do if I were to take her away from you? Don’t tell me that you still think that you are a genius! Now, you’re nothing but a cripple. You’ve lost the qualification to date my sister!”

Last time, Yun Yi was always overshadowed by Mu Feng and Yun Yi hated him for that. They were still young men, so it was natural that they would want to compete against one another.

“Y-You……! I’m not a cripple!”

Mu Feng was provoked by his words and a fire sparked in his stomach. He punched towards Yun Yi.

However, Yun Yi dodged his punch easily and kicked Mu Feng in his abdomen instead. This kick was so powerful that Mu Feng turned pale and stepped back a few steps.

“Haha, aiyaya, look at you. You can’t even withstand my kick. I haven’t even started to use my Vitality!”

Yun Yi laughed in disdain and sneered coldly.

“Mu Feng, you’d better understand what kind of situation you and your family are in now. Everybody in the Nan Ling kingdom knows that our prince, Nan Hao, has an eye on the Mu family. Wan Er will definitely be poorly treated if she continues to stay with you. If you really care for her, you should leave her this instant!”

With that being said, Yun Yi forcefully dragged Qingwan away. Qingwan sobbed and tried to break free, whereas Mu Feng stopped dead in his tracks. Yun Yi’s words stabbed into his heart like needles. He clenched his fists tightly. His nails dug into his flesh and blood dripped out.

“There isn’t a cripple in the Mu family. I, a young man of iron and blood, will never yield. Wan Er, don’t you worry, I will not be beaten down easily! I will not!”
