Under the Wisteria Flower
The Qin Empire was the most prosperous, unlike Xianyang, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers. The largest restaurant in Xianyang had an elegant name, Fufeng Pavilion. There were two seal characters on the porch that read "Fufeng". It was the work of Li Si, a famous calligrapher in the capital.
Fufeng Tower was built close to the Wei River. It was one of the rare buildings in Xianyang City. Looking out from the tower, one could see the surging Wei River flowing towards the south and the towering mountain stretching towards the north. This small restaurant could actually take in the scenery of Qin.
At this time, there was only one guest on the second floor who had a thin face and looked a little bookish. If it wasn't for the sword placed horizontally on the low table, how could anyone tell that he was the former chief guard of the King of Qin, Wei Zhuang?
Wei Zhuang was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery, nor did he eat. At this moment, the only thing that could arouse his interest was wine.
He sat alone in a private room in Fufeng Tower. His eyes were dazed as he drank by himself.
Less than a year ago, Wei Zhuangfeng had sent a spy to Yan Country to stop Prince Dan from assassinating Qin. The assassin Jing Ke pretended to be an emissary and brought the map of Dukang and the head of Fan Yuqi, the traitor of Qin State, to meet the King of Qin, Ying Zheng. However, the Tong Mountain organization led by Li Si had investigated everything clearly. The reason why the leader of Tong Mountain, Xiahou Yang, had allowed Jing Ke to go to the palace in Xianyang was because he wanted to see Jing Ke for the sake of the king of Qin, Ying Zheng.
The beloved concubine of the King of Qin, Ying Zheng, was once a childhood friend of Jing Ke. Later, the King of Qin forced the State of Qi to offer her to the King of Qi, so the King of Qi kidnapped Li Ji and presented her to the King of Qin. Unexpectedly, Li Ji was pregnant when she entered the palace and gave birth to a son named Tianming. Although the King of Qin knew that this son was the flesh and blood of Jing Ke and Li Ji, he loved the house and the crow and regarded him as his own. Jing Ke failed to assassinate the King of Qin and was cut into meat paste by the guards in the court. Li Ji committed suicide by taking poison. However, she handed over her son Jing Tianming to the Mohist righteous warrior Han Shen and the great scholar Fu Nian. He had entrusted his orphan to the care of Ge Nia, the 'Greatest Swordsman in the World'.
It was unknown whether the King of Qin wanted to eliminate the root of the problem or was unwilling to let the only person in the world who could humiliate him live. After Jing Tianming left, he sent out four experts who were on par with Wei Zhuang to chase after him. Who knew that these four experts would be killed by Ge Nia at the bank of the Wu River?
Ge Nia fled with Jing Tianming and disappeared. However, how could the King of Qin give up so easily?
Thinking of Ge Nia, Wei Zhuang's heart was filled with mixed feelings. Unknowingly, he reached out and broke the mud seal on the second jar of white wine.
"So you arrived first!" Xiahou Yang ascended Fufeng Building and looked at the drunk Wei Zhuang.""Let's wait a little longer. When my disciple Bao Ye comes, we'll leave. What do you think?”
Wei Zhuang glanced at Xiahou Yang but did not answer. He just continued drinking. In Wei Zhuang's heart, he actually looked down on this Xiahou Yang who was a great thief, a murderer, an arsonist, a rapist, and a robber. If it wasn't for Xiahou Yang informing him of his junior sister's whereabouts, Wei Zhuang wouldn't even be willing to sit with him.
Xiahou Yang also hated Wei Zhuang in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. "How did this person become the chief guard? Looking at his cultured face, how good was his martial arts?”Xiahou Yang looked at the drunk Wei Zhuang and thought,""I have to find an opportunity to kill him with someone else's help.”He had this idea in his heart, but his face was full of smiles.
After a while, Xiahou Yang's eldest disciple, Bao Ye, arrived. The young Bao Ye was unusually friendly. When he came upstairs, he immediately helped Wei Zhuang up from the table and called him big brother."Big Brother Wei Zhuang, it's time to set off."
Wei Zhuang, who had drunk two large jars of white wine, was completely drunk. He just ignored him.
"Big Brother Wei Zhuang, it's about time. We should be on our way.”Bao Ye urged.
Wei Zhuang put down his wine glass and asked incoherently,"…Set off?…Where to?"
"Have you forgotten the orders from the king?" Bao Ye laughed. Of course, he was going to kill Ge Nia and the others.”
" Kill…" Wei Zhuang said word by word," Ge…Nie…"
Hearing the words that came out of his mouth, Wei Zhuang suddenly stood up. His eyes were bright as he raised his sword as if he had never drunk a drop of wine. He looked at Xiahou Yang and Bao Ye and said with certainty and grandeur,"Let's go!"
In Qi City, Chu State, in a crumbling thatched cottage, Gai Lan was using a small wooden basin as a fan, trying hard to fan the fire under the medicine pot.
She held back her tears and sobbed softly. Jing Tianming opened his eyes wide and looked at her. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he did not make a sound. On the other hand, Fu Nian, who was sleeping soundly at the side, heard the crying and sat up with a stroke of his beard. "Lan 'er, what's wrong?" Fu Nian asked.
Ge Lan shook his head and turned his gaze to Ge Nia, who was recuperating on the small bed.
On the bank of the River Wu, Ge Nie had killed the four guards of Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain with all his might and saved Jing Ke's bones and blood. However, he had also experienced the Black Fiend Wind's final blow. Thanks to Ge Nie's zhenqi protection, he had not been killed.
Ge Nia had been in this small room for more than two months. Although his wounds were gradually healing, he was weak and unable to recover. In order to avoid exposing their whereabouts, Galen and the others also stayed in the village, occasionally exchanging their belongings for food from the farmers in the nearby fields.
Fu Nian pulled Gailan out of the room. He knew that Galen didn't want to say anything in front of his father. "Lan 'er, what's wrong?" Fu Nian asked. Is your father's injury okay?"
Hearing Fu Nian's concerned tone, Gai Lan replied,""Thank you for your concern, Mr. Fu. My father's injury is not serious.”
"Silly girl!" Fu Nian pretended to be angry." At this point, why don't you tell me the truth? Are you treating me as an outsider?"
"How would Lan 'er dare?" Geran wiped away her tears and took a deep breath."Father's external injuries have already healed, but the qi in his body has dissipated. I've seen Father regulate his breathing day and night, but he's still unable to circulate the true qi in his body smoothly. I really want to buy some divine items for my father, such as lingzhi or ginseng, but these herbs are so expensive. How can I afford them? I had no choice, so I cried.“
"That's why calling you silly girl is not wrong at all. Fu Nian replied," When it comes to martial arts, I'm just an old man. However, since he mentioned money, haha, look at this.”
Fu Nian took out a piece of gold from his belt and waved it in front of Ge Lan.
Galen's eyes widened as he looked at the shimmering gold. The old man with sunken eyes, who was thin and yellow, was grinning as he pulled out a piece of gold from his sleeve, a piece from his shoe, a piece from his braid, and a piece from his underwear.
Gai Lan had never thought that the great scholar of his generation would have such a side to him. He held back his laughter and said,"I really didn't expect you to be so rich, Mr. Fu.!”
"What?" Fu Nian deliberately put on a stern face and said," Back then, when I was a teacher in the Qin palace and taught Tianming for so many days, the King of Qin would be embarrassed to only feed me, an old man, right? I think it's too heavy to carry this money with me. Now, he used the king of Qin's gold to help the hero. If the king of Qin knew, he would be furious. Hahaha.”
Gai Lan was tickled by Fu Nian and laughed as well. On second thought, if her father found out that she had spent Mr. Fu's money in the future, he would inevitably be scolded. However, at this time, he could not care so much. Gai Lan bowed to Fu Nian and said gratefully,"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."
Fu Nian said," Such precious medicinal herbs are not even available in this secluded countryside. It seems that I'd better make a trip to Qi City." Lan 'er, wait for me. I'll be back soon.”
As Fu Nian traveled between Qi City and the cottage, Ge Nie gradually recovered. Over the past ten days, Gai Lan and Fu Nian were like good friends.
One day, Fu Nian was planning to go to Qi City to buy again. Gai Lan quickly stopped him and said,""Mr. Fu, don't trouble yourself. My father has already recovered. There's no need to buy things for him anymore!”Fu Nian laughed." Don't worry. I'm going to the city to buy some fish and meat for myself. Haha, of course, if you help me cook, I don't mind sharing a little with you."”
" Since that's the case," said Gai Lan," if Mr. Fu sees any interesting gadgets on the way, can you bring one back for Tianming?"”
Ge Lan turned around and returned to her room. As soon as she pushed open the door, she heard her father Ge Nia say,"Mr. Fu went out to buy things for us again?”
Seeing that Ge Nia had finally recovered, Ge Lan was in a good mood. He knew that his father had always been serious, so he couldn't help but joke."Yes, Mr. Fu boasted that he wanted to buy you a cow to nourish your body.”
Ge Nia laughed loudly when he heard this. He thought of Jing Tianming, who was sleeping soundly, and quickly stopped talking. He turned around to look at Jing Tianming, only to see that this ten-year-old child's small face was lifeless. Although he had never complained in the past few months, Ge Nia knew that the child's heart was filled with grievances.
"Father! Mother!" A loud shout came from the bed. Gai Lan thought Jing Tianming had woken up. She walked to the bed and saw that the child was sweating profusely and had his eyes closed. It turned out that he was talking in his sleep.
"Father! Mother! Why don't you want me anymore?" Jing Tianming's sobs made Gai Lan's heart ache. She gently patted his back and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat."Tianming, don't be afraid. You just had a nightmare.”
Jing Tianming sat up and looked around. His unfocused eyes looked at Ge Lan and then at Ge Nia. Only then did he gradually remember where he was. He reached out and gently pushed aside the handkerchief that Galen was wiping his sweat with."Aunt Lan, don't worry. I'm fine.”With that, he turned his back to the two of them, rolled up the quilt, and pretended to fall asleep.
The room fell silent. Ge Nia looked at his daughter and realized that Ge Lan was also looking at him. " I don't think we can go on like this," Galen whispered." He hasn't been eating or sleeping well for the past few months. His complexion is getting worse and worse, and he's getting thinner. Do you think it's better for us to take him home?"”
"That's too dangerous," Ge Nia said. The Qin King's minions are well-informed and should know that Tianming is with us. I'm afraid that our home is no longer safe.”
"What plans do you have, Father?" Galen nodded.”
"For the sake of Tianming's safety, I think we should find a place to hide for the time being."”
Ge Lan gently held Ge Nia's hand. She knew that her father had never run away from anything in his life, and now that he had said this, it went against his personality and principles. She couldn't help but sigh."Father, I only hope that Tianming will understand your intentions when he grows up.”
Ge Nia looked at Jing Tianming lying on the bed and said,"It's not important whether you understand or not. The important thing is that brother Jing Ke entrusted his only flesh and blood to me. Now that he has died in the hands of the King of Qin, what we can do is to raise this child well.”
"Poor child. He became an orphan at such a young age.”Gai Lan's eyes turned red as she spoke, but she didn't know that at this moment, Jing Tianming, who was pretending to sleep under the blanket, was also crying.
"Come, come, come! Eat fish. You didn't expect this, did you? There was actually no one selling cattle in such a big city.”Fu Nian walked in with big and small bags in his hands. He placed them on the table and said with a smile,""Humans, no matter what you do, you have to eat first.”Fu Nian enjoyed talking for a long time before realizing that Ge Nia and Ge Lan's eyes were red. He asked in confusion,"What's going on? Why are you crying in broad daylight?”
"That's because they know that their death has arrived.”A gloomy voice came from outside the house. The three people's expressions changed drastically. Even Jing Tianming, who was hiding under the blanket, was shocked. Ge Nia raised his sword and instructed in a low voice,"Stay in the room and don't come out."”
After saying that, he let out a long whistle and leaped out, landing steadily outside the door. Ge Nia had originally thought that in order to kill Jing Tianming, the King of Qin had sent out countless subordinates, intending to gain the upper hand. Who would have thought that when he went out, there were only three of them. The person in the lead was his enemy, Xiahou Yang, whom he had been tracking for many years. Ge Nie had long known that this scum of the martial arts world had defected to the King of Qin, but the person standing beside Xiahou Yang…Ge Nie could hardly believe it. Wasn't that his junior brother, Wei Zhuang?
Senior Brother, long time no see." Wei Zhuang fearlessly looked at Ge Nia and said," Why are you pretending to be surprised? You've always been like this. You always think that what you do is right and what others do is wrong.”
"You, you've joined the King of Qin?" Ge Nia asked in a trembling voice.”
"The King of Qin is a hero of his generation. What's wrong with me serving him?”Wei Zhuang replied.
"What about Jing Ke? Did you betray him?" Ge Nia asked angrily.
"I didn't betray him. He assassinated his king, and I only did what I should do.”Wei Zhuang said," I only blocked the knife he stabbed at the King of Qin. As for chopping him into minced meat, I didn't do it, and I don't want to take credit for it.”
"Damn it!" Ge Nie shouted.
"Is that enough? I'm not here to listen to you reminisce about the past." Xiahou Yang spat out impatiently and asked,""Is the child inside?"
"You didn't even let a child off.”Ge Nia's eyes suddenly lit up as he said sternly,"This King Qin is truly heartless, and everyone should be punished…" Before he could finish speaking, Jing Tianming suddenly rushed out, his face covered in tears as he shouted,"I don't believe it! You're all lying!"
Everyone was stunned. Ge Nia immediately reached out to block Jing Tianming and shouted,"Lan 'er, come quickly!"
Seeing Jing Tianming struggling to move forward, Gai Lan hurriedly clasped Jing Tianming's hands behind his back. Jing Tianming couldn't move, so Gai Lan carried him back into the house and said,"Father won't kill me, I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"
Xiahou Yang shot a glance at Bao Ye, who understood and immediately used his unique skill, the Nine Nether Ice Palm, to sneak attack Ge Nie, who was still in shock.
Ge Nia suddenly felt two fierce palm strikes coming down on the back of his head. He turned around and saw a young man he had never seen before clapping at him. Ge Nia praised,"Good palm technique!" Before he could finish his sentence, he had already turned around to avoid the palm wind and struck out with his sword at an extremely fast speed.
In order to protect Jing Tianming, Ge Nie had decided to end the battle quickly. As a result, he had used the killing move of his unique skill, the Hundred Steps Flying Sword, the 'Verdant Orioles Fly.' This sword was not aimed at Bao Ye, but at his long-time enemy, Xiahou Yang.
When Xiahou Yang saw this sword attack, it was like nine agile orioles flying towards his chest. He could not care less about drawing his blade or his face. He suddenly squatted down and rolled backwards twice before dodging Ge Nia's sword with his face covered in dust. Bao Ye saw Ge Nia's martial arts were so powerful that he had made his master suffer a great loss with one move. He knew that he would not be able to get away with it today, so he carefully observed the terrain and thought of a way to escape.
Xiahou Yang saw Ge Nia's attacks come one after another, and he brandished his saber to block them. Wei Zhuang and Bao Ye seemed to be fine, and he couldn't help but shout,"What are Wei Zhuang and Bao Ye doing? Hurry up and attack."
Ge Nia's sword missed, and with a flick of his wrist, he used Pear Blossom in the Rain. The sky was instantly filled with sword shadows, but the ones shrouded in his sword light were Xiahou Yang, Wei Zhuang, and Bao Ye.
The three of them worked together to defend against Ge Nia's Hundred Steps Flying Sword. They attacked, defended, surrounded, or fought. The situation immediately reversed. Ge Nia was more defensive than attacking. Xiahou Yang gained the upper hand. As he attacked, he laughed sinisterly and shouted,"I didn't expect you to have a beautiful girl. After I kill you, I'll go into the house and evaluate your daughter.”
Ge Nia was furious when he heard this. He had never thought that after so many years, his junior brother Wei Zhuang's martial arts would improve so much. After a few attacks, Wei Zhuang had dismantled his sword techniques and protected Xiahou Yang. If he couldn't kill this evil thief, how could he face his junior sister who was killed by Xiahou Yang?
It turned out that twenty years ago, Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie had a friendship of learning from the same sect. The two of them were extremely talented and had been taught by their master. Gai Nie was carefree and loyal, while Wei Zhuang did not care about trifles. Although their personalities were different, the two got along well.
Unexpectedly, the two of them fell in love with their junior sister at the same time. On the night of Ge Nie and his junior sister's wedding night, Wei Zhuang could only leave sadly and never appeared in front of the two of them again.
Now that they were meeting again, Wei Zhuang only wanted to kill Ge Nia. The hatred that he had suppressed for many years was now raging. His voice was trembling as he attacked,"Ge Nia! Die. You took Little Junior Sister away and killed her. Today, I will avenge her!”
Ge Nia's mind suddenly exploded, and he felt as if someone had knocked heavily on his chest."Junior Brother, what did you say? Who told you that I killed Junior Sister?"
Wei Zhuang's eyes were like they were spitting fire. He glanced sideways at Xiahou Yang, who was also in a bitter battle. The sword in his hand moved faster and faster as he said,"Do you think no one saw what you did? This Xiahou Yang saw it with his own eyes outside your room.”
"Xiahou Yang, you traitor, how dare you frame me.”Ge Nie said angrily.
In that split second, Wei Zhuang's sword had already sliced off a part of his clothes, and the tip of the sword was aimed at Ge Nia's throat. Ge Nia leaned back to avoid the sword, then turned around and fell face down, as if he had lost his balance. At the same time, he stabbed his sword diagonally backward. This was the fifth move of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword. Seeing that he was familiar with it, Wei Zhuang couldn't help but shout,"What a good Sunset Sunlight!"
Wei Zhuang's body tilted slightly, as if he was drunk, and he rushed down. He raised his shoulder, and his long sword flipped back and stabbed out diagonally. It was also a move called "Afterglow of the Sunset". With a crisp clang, the two swords retracted as soon as they touched. Wei Zhuang and Ge Nie's faces were about to touch the ground, but the two of them used the force from the clash between their swords to turn around at the same time and stand still.
"No matter how much you hate me, you should know that I've never lied in my life. Ge Nie pointed his sword to the side, his voice trembling slightly."The person who killed your junior sister is far away, but right in front of you. It's this Xiahou Yang!"”
Xiahou Yang was shocked. So Wei Zhuang knew how to use the Hundred Steps Flying Sword. He didn't know why the two of them had changed the topic to him.
Hearing Ge Nia's words, Wei Zhuang forcefully stopped. He knew that his senior brother Ge Nia was an upright person who never lied. Wei Zhuang glanced at Xiahou Yang and said,""It's you! You actually killed her." Xiahou Yang's scheme was exposed, but he didn't care. He said,""So what if it's me? Although your junior sister apprentice is not young anymore, she has a good charm. I only gave her…a taste. I was afraid that she would not be able to live a good life, so I killed her. If you are not convinced, then when I return to Xianyang, I will also give you a taste of my junior sister apprentice. Then, we will be even.”
"It's you! You lied to me so hard." Wei Zhuang flew into a rage. He pointed the tip of his sword lightly and attacked Xiahou Yang with the move " Orioles Fly in the Grass "." It's you!" I'll take your life first!"
Xiahou Yang thought that Wei Zhuang and he were both masters. Even if Wei Zhuang wanted to settle scores with him, he would kill Ge Nia first. He did not expect the weak-looking Wei Zhuang to be so fast with his sword. In an instant, nine orioles flew towards his chest. He shouted in panic,"Bao Ye, help Master!"
Unfortunately, not even a shadow appeared in front of Xiahou Yang.
Nine orioles flew onto his chest and turned into nine streaks of blood. Bao Ye had already fled before Ge Nia could speak of the past. At that time, Wei Zhuang and Xiahou Yang had been focused on Ge Nia, so no one had noticed that someone had suddenly disappeared from their side.
Xiahou Yang looked at the sword in Wei Zhuang's hand that was stained with his own blood. He exhaled his last breath and said,"" Bao Ye, you... you little bastard..." Before he could finish, his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground.
"Only the two of us are left." Wei Zhuang stepped back two feet and took out a silver chain from his sleeve. He fastened it to the hilt and made the gesture of 'Hundred-step Flying Sword'. He coldly said to Ge Nie,"Buckle your silver chain!" Ge Nia looked at his junior brother and helplessly sighed. He also fastened his sword hilt with the same silver chain as Wei Zhuang's.
These two silver chains were given to him by his two masters after they learned the Hundred Steps Flying Sword. Ordinary people only knew that this set of sword techniques was exquisite, but they didn't know that the essence of the Hundred Steps Flying Sword was to combine sword techniques and whip techniques, so that short weapons and long weapons could cut each other off. A silver chain was tied to the sword, and the sword could be controlled by the chain. It could take a person's life from a hundred steps away, so it was called the Hundred Steps Flying Sword.
The two silver chains came from the same source, but after more than ten years, they were fighting with their lives. Ge Nie couldn't help but sigh.
Ge Nie and Wei Zhuang stared at each other without saying a word. Their fingers lightly tapped on the silver chain, and two swords danced in the air.
The two of them used the Hundred Steps Flying Sword's eight stances one by one.
The two swords barely met, and the sword moves had already changed. After all, both of them were too familiar with this sword technique, and also too familiar with each other.
Ge Nia used the last move,"Return with a flick of the sleeve", and seeing that they were still evenly matched, he said,"Stop fighting, okay? Junior Brother.“
"Who is your junior brother?" Wei Zhuang replied,"Today, either you die or I die." I'm still waiting to take your and that child's heads back to Xianyang to claim credit.”
Upon hearing this, Ge Nie suddenly withdrew his sword and raised it to his chest. His body sank and he took on the entry-level footwork that all martial artists had to practice-Horse Stance.
Wei Zhuang laughed out loud when he saw this.”With that, he shook the silver chain and used the Orioles Fly in the Grass to approach Ge Nia. Ge Nia did not dodge, but slowly pushed his sword forward. His sword technique, which was originally as fast as a oriole's, was restrained by this slow sword, and he couldn't help but become sluggish. Before the nine sword flowers of the "Orioles Fly in the Grass" could be fully used, a heavy sword energy had already approached Wei Zhuang's chest.
Wei Zhuang was shocked. He flipped over Ge Nia's head and quickly changed his moves into "Full Afterglow". Before his body hit the ground, he had already stabbed backward. Who knew that Ge Nia did not even turn his head, nor did he move. His whole body was like Mount Tai. He only flipped a long sword forward and backward, and slowly pushed it out towards his armpit. His sword skill that was originally like the sunset was once again tripped by this slow sword. Its sharpness was greatly reduced. The sword and chain in Wei Zhuang's hand had already been knocked askew.
"When did Hero Gai join another sect and learn such ugly martial arts?”Wei Zhuang pulled the silver chain and withdrew his sword. He suppressed his panic and said coldly.
Ge Nia squatted in a horse stance, slowly straightening his right arm and raising his sword. He said in a deep voice,"This is the body of martial arts that master pondered in his later years. He comprehended the way of ten thousand techniques returning to one. He deeply regretted that the Hundred Steps Flying Sword he created when he was young was useless, so he abolished it and simplified it. From then on, the Hundred Steps Flying Sword only had three forms. What I used just now was the first style, One Penetration.”
"Good! Let me experience your brilliant moves!" After Wei Zhuang finished speaking, he pulled on the silver chain and released a circle of sword light. He used the 'Rivers Running to the Sea', and with a loud shout, he pulled his wrist down. His body instantly rose into the air, and his feet lightly tapped on the silver chain. He flipped his left palm, and the wind from his palm and the sword simultaneously pounced towards Ge Nie.
Ge Nia continued to use the "One Penetrating" technique. Ge Nia said,"Master once told me that if there was a chance, he wanted me to teach you these three sword techniques. Unfortunately, you went astray and didn't repent. Today, I have no choice but to teach you these sword techniques on behalf of Master.”
After saying that, Ge Nie raised his sword and stabbed at his chest. It was as slow as an old bull walking, slowly moving towards Wei Zhuang's chest. However, no matter how Wei Zhuang changed his moves to block, the sword continued to advance calmly. Finally, it stabbed straight into Wei Zhuang's right chest in a 'one' posture.
As the sun set, a crimson cloud covered the sky, and the yellow soil was dyed red. Wei Zhuang fell to the ground, and his chest was gradually penetrated by blood.
"Kill me!" Wei Zhuang said firmly," Don't hesitate. Aren't you the best swordsman in the world?”Ge Nia looked at his junior brother, who had once been his classmate, and realized that he couldn't do it no matter what. He sighed and said,"You can go now!"
"Leave? Where to?" Wei Zhuang smiled and took out a wooden hairpin with wisteria flowers carved on the end. In the blink of an eye, he revealed an expression of boundless love and affection. Looking at the hairpin, Wei Zhuang felt as if he had returned to the past, the time when he, the young Ge Nia, and his cute little junior sister were practicing martial arts and laughing in the lush forest.
Wei Zhuang spoke softly, as if he was speaking to Ge Nia, but also as if he was speaking to himself."This hairpin was the love token I gave to Little Junior Sister back then. I didn't expect Little Junior Sister to return it to me for you. I've been carrying it with me all these years.”
Wei Zhuang did not raise his head to look at Ge Nia at all. He only stared at the wooden hairpin in his hand. There seemed to be a girl smiling at him.
Under the wisteria flowers, her smile was like a flower.
He looked at the girl's face and smiled.""Remember, I will never die in your hands, but in my own hands.”
Wei Zhuang resolutely picked up the hairpin and jabbed it at his own head. Then, he slowly fell into his own pool of blood, but his face was filled with happiness.
As the evening sun set, Ge Nie went forward to hug Wei Zhuang and burst into tears.
