243 One Smile Can Obliterate Hate and Grievances (2/2)

Jun Wu Yi, the Third Son of the Jun Family, waited for them at the end of the flower-flanked path; he sat perfectly straight on his wheelchair. He was dressed in clean black clothes. His facial features seemed sharp, as if cut by a knife. Nevertheless, there was a faint smile on his face, which enhanced his graceful bearing. A white clothed youngster was unhurriedly pushing his wheelchair.

”Elder brother Dugu,” Jun Wu Yi cupped his hands, showing a trace of a genial expression, ”you have arrived.”

”Younger Brother Jun,” Dugu Wudi jumped down from his horse, and took large strides forward. ”Jun Family is opening a major business. So why wouldn't older brother come-over and show his support? Why have you toiled to receive us personally? I, your older brother, could've walked-in myself; we are no strangers to you.”

”There's no harm in greeting people. But elder brother is the only one in the City who actually deserves such importance. Therefore, how could I ever neglect my duties if my brother arrives here?” Jun Wu Yi smiled. Then he gestured with his hands as an expectant look in his emerged eyes, ”Elder brother Dugu, please enter!”

Dugu Wudi immediately looked up, and his eyes were immediately rapt with layer-upon-layer of happiness. ”Third brother Jun, please!” He reached and positioned himself behind Jun Wu Yi. He then nudged the white clothed youngster who was standing behind the wheelchair to the side as he laughed loudly, ”You take a break; I will push my third brother inside.”

Jun Wu Yi's body leaned back comfortably so as to allow Dugu Wudi to push the wheelchair. They chatted as Jun Wu Yi showed the way forward. The atmosphere had suddenly become very harmonious, and it seemed as if both sides were a bit emotional.

Could it be that the years-of-the-past had returned once again?

Dugu Wudi was laughing loudly; he was elated from the bottom of his heart. He quietly wiped the tears which appeared in his tiger-like eyes; he couldn't help but sigh in happiness, [today this younger brother has forgiven me… he called me elder brother once again… I'm so happy; I have no regrets anymore].

Ten years of suffering and silence, and no mention of the events that had occurred. But it had all been melted away by these few words!

The two men seemed extremely happy, and talked cheerfully. However, it seemed to everyone else that these two great generals were still enveloped in a thick layer of sentiment owing to that bloody-event from the past!

There was strange connection between these two iron-blooded soldiers.

Jun Wu Yi had dispelled the sword of resentment with his smile!

Ten Years of conflict and hatred had been obliterated with just a smile!

This opportune moment had announced the end of the uneasiness these two great generals had been carrying in their hearts for a decade!

The Dugu Family's seven burly and ox-like individuals remained silent, contrary to their usual personality. They understood the importance of this moment, and deliberately modulated their breathing for the fear of disturbing the two brothers whose bond had been molded over the course of numerous battles.

They had carried the glory of the entire army and the entire of Tian Xiang Empire on their shoulders!

Dugu Xiao Yi's eyes became red as she sobbed quietly. She was admittedly too young to properly appreciate the special camaraderie between these two men. However, as his daughter, she had always known the matter which had troubled her father's heart from the beginning!

Dugu Wudi had been a straightforward man throughout his life, and had never felt the need to regret. However, there was one matter he had always vaguely regretted.

Jun Wu Hui!

Dugu Wudi would get drunk every year on Jun Wu Hui's death anniversary. He would inevitably burst-out crying even though he was an extremely tough and strong warrior. Moreover, he wouldn't even try to cover-up his loud crying; … he would cry his guts out.

Dugu Wudi had never in his life shed tears so many times. And all of this happened because the person who had died was his sworn brother.

Dugu Xiao Yi had often seen her father enter his study in the middle of the night. He would sigh endlessly as he would stroke the sword which Jun Wu Hui had gifted to him.

Today however, Jun Wu Yi had eliminated this hard-to-dispel conundrum in Dugu Wu Di's mind with just a smile! How could Dugu Xiao Yi not be pleased? How could she not cry? How could she not be moved to tears?

Following after the Dugu Family, came another important one; the Song family. The Tang and the Meng Family arrived successively, in accordance to the appointed time.

The Magnificent Jewel Hall which was in close proximity across the street had also received an invitation card. Xiao Han and Mu Xue Tong were clad in white like always; they arrived accompanying the flower-like Han Yan Meng.

And at that moment…
