176 No compromise (2/2)
Tears came streaming down from Qing Han's eyes.
She had already submitted herself to a life of despair! Xue Hun Manor was one the strongest factions in this world, even the most talented and powerful individual or factions wouldn't dare to stand up against their commands! Had Guan Dong Liu insisted on it, even Jun Wu Yi wouldn't have been able to stop this. After all, Qing Han was the Guan Family's daughter, and once the engagement was withdrawn, the Jun Family would have no control over her life or future!
Qing Han had already decided to make the sacrifice for her Family's sake, and was preparing herself to commit suicide after reaching the Xue Hun Manor!
But she had never expected that Jun Mo Xie would actually decide to take a stand for her at this moment! She had always looked down upon her brother-in-law, and had been really mistreating him for the past several months…. She had never even imaged that her insolent brother-in-law would really be capable of saying something like this!
[He is even willing to accept the blame for the destruction of our two families… even in the face of this tragic fate! He's even willing to risk his own life, and that of his entire family! ]
It was obvious to Qing Han from Jun Mo Xie's firm and resolute voice that he was actually ready to sacrifice everything before bending to the will of such an enemy!
Qing Han almost wanted to burst into tears at this moment! Even her own family, and her own father had abandoned her in this moment of need and dark, but this man had risen up and had decided to risk everything for her in her moment of extreme desperation!
Jun Mo Xie's slim stature, and his average shoulders….. suddenly became the most reliable structure in this world for her! He became the only support she had in this downpour and heavy wind; the only one she could hold on to!
She had been very moved when brother had opted for the same decision when it came to Yue'er, but it suddenly seemed to her at this moment….as if he was nothing compared to Jun Mo Xie! After all, Guan Qing Yue had arrived in the Tian Xiang city in order to persuade the Jun Family to withdraw her engagement, and allow her to remarry. However, Jun Mo Xie hadn't even hesitated in picking the choice of defending her against all odds!
One man was ready to betray his own sister's trust for the sake of his own survival, and was ready to subject her to a drifting life with no purpose. This man had also ignored his own principles and morals for the sake of a vulgar woman! While the other had fiercely risen to protect her in the face of extreme difficulty!
It wasn't even correct to say their names in the same breath, and suddenly they were like to extremes in her eyes…. Like heaven and earth; there was absolutely no comparison!
Guan Qing Han's face turned red with embarrassment as this thought crossed her mind, out of sheer guilt over the actions of her past: [could it be... earlier, he was only….is this the real 'him'? Was he just pretending to be someone else all this time…..why….? ]
[Otherwise, why would he act out so emotionally today? He didn't even show one sign of hesitation! He is ready to risk everything and fight the entire world for me?! ]
[God, why didn't I see the good in him? ]
A moment of fear, a moment of despair, a moment of excitement, and a moment of emotion…. Qing Han stood rooted to her spot with a blank expression on her face as a violent storm continued to churn inside her heart.
She was completely unaware that Jun Mo Xie wasn't doing this for her sake, but for the sake of his own principles! Jun Mo Xie would never change his principle; he would never allow anyone to hurt his pride!
He would readily and madly go to war with the entire world than drag out an ignoble existence!
In Hitman Jun's mind, life and death was nothing more than mere fantasy; an illusion… nothing more. But principles and pride, they were factors of immortality!
And he would never compromise on them!
Jun Mo Xie's words and fierce attitude frightened Guan Dong Liu for a moment, but then he immediately thought of the last decade of the Jun Family's existence, and couldn't help feeling anxious again. Therefore, he looked towards Jun Wu Yi: ”Brother Jun, the young master Jun is still na?ve and speaks out of pride, but may not have considered the consequences of such actions under the influence of his youthful vigor. The Jun Family is far more powerful than mine, but when compared to the Xue Hun Manor...”
Jun Wu Yi smiled faintly, and flatly replied with a calm expression on his face: ”Mo Xie is right; Qing Han is my Family's daughter-in-law. As the head of the Jun Family, I agree with him; Mo Xie's decision is the Jun Family's decision!”
Even though Jun Wu Yi was sitting in his wheelchair, but the strength and resolve of his voice coupled with the power of his wide shoulders was enough to send the heavens shaking!
Jun Mo Xie might have spoken his words under the influence of his youthful vigor, but Jun Wu Yi, being a veteran generalissimo was well aware of the endless struggle that his family would have to face against the might of the Xue Hun Manor!
Guan Dong Liu stared at him for a long while. Suddenly a deep sense of guilt arose from the bottom of his heart! He had given up his daughter; however the young and the old of the Jun Family had risen to take a stand for her without any hesitation!
He was unaware of the rivalry between the Jun Family and the Silver Blizzard City; he was unaware that these two factions were mortal enemies! And now, these men were even willing to face the Xue Hun Manor for Qing Han's sake!
The two most powerful forces of the continent were standing against the lone Jun Family! One enemy in the north and the other in the south; and Jun Family was right in the middle!
[Xue Hun is probably in the south, and the Silver Blizzard City is in the north…. Most likely. They haven't made this very clear, probably due to the secretive nature of these two factions.]
But Jun Mo Xie, and Jun Wu Yi were still smiling, indifferent to it all; still holding their heads proudly high up in the sky!
