Everything was as though it was real people. However, looking closely, the one in the middle was a piece of sculpted jade which looked extremely real, with a lot of details. Even the tiniest creases on the clothing were detailedly sculpted and the skin folds on the skin and face were extremely life-like!
It was obvious that the person who sculpted this jade had put in a lot of effort and hard work!
Somehow this statue seemed to have a soul…
Behind it, there was three words on the left: No Hero Ever Regrets!
There was another four words on its right: The World is Mine!
Right above it was a sign with inscripted words: All Succumb!
This was Jun Wu Hui, the white gown general!
“How impressive…”, Mei Xue Yan unconsciously admired Jun Wu Hui’s statue with envy then lowly said, “Mo Xie…you and your father look exactly alike…”
“My father? He is also yours!”, Jun Mo Xie looked at her for a while, seemed slightly distracted and firmly said, “Xue Yan, come kneel and kowtow to father. In this lifetime, you will definitely be Jun family’s daughter-in-law, you can’t run away from it. With his son and daughter-in-law both here to share the good news, my father would sure be happy.”
Mei Xue Yan blushed, shyly yet gladly acknowledged his word and knelt down respectfully beside Jun Mo Xie.
Jun Mo Xie respectfully lighted thirteen joss sticks and quietly whispered, “Dad, it has been a decade since we were separated. Your son has now brought your daughter-in-law to see you. I hope you can see us and feel less troubled. I will take your revenge for you! Whether it is the Silver City of Wind and Snow or the Country of Tianxiang, so long as they had hurt you, they will have to pay a painful price… This is my…your son, Jun Mo Xie’s promise! In your witness! May the sky and earth be my witness!
Each word of his vow was enunciated with determination!
At that moment, Jun Mo Xie’s heart felt exceptionally heavy as he kowtowed. Although he may be proud and arrogant, he had sincere respect from the bottom of his heart for this white gown general, Jun Wu Hui, as just from the countless tales, he already understood what he was like; furthermore, the merging of their souls made Jun Mo Xie clearly feel that Jun Wu Hui was his father!
He had never kneeled before anyone since birth but at that moment, he was more than willing!
For such a hero, even if he was not his father, he still deserved a sincere bow!
Furthermore, there was an undeniable kinship! Although his soul came from another world, this physical body undeniably, had Jun Wu Hui’s blood running through!
People reincarnate and at most, he coincidentally brought his memory along during reincarnation. If he had not, would his heart have continued to repel it? That was unimaginable!
Just as Jun Mo Xie and Mei Xue Yan kneeled down, strong winds started blowing above Tian Guan Lin, the countless clouds in the sky started moving aggressively, and the snow on the ground was swept up into the sky, suspended in the air, covering the sky and blurred the surroundings!
All the big flags simultaneously blew open and what was more alarming was that the initial northern wind suddenly weirdly changed to a southern wind. Hence, the flags were blew open facing the north!
That was in the direction of Tianxiang’s capital!
“Great Leader!”, suddenly everyone outside neatly kneeled down with tears in their eyes, yelled at the sky until their voices almost tore, “Thanks to our Great Leader, the soul has returned!”, as they kowtowed and teared…
The wind continued to roar in the sky, howling and blowing, as though it was responding to the rest…
After a long, long while, Jun Mo Xie and Mei Xue Yan slowly walked out. Across, everyone’s eyes turned and fixed on them, especially their knees and forehead, then everyone laughed in comfort…
There was an eye-catching stain on Jun Mo Xie’s knees and fade ashes on his forehead. It was the same for Mei Xue Yan. This was a result of these soldiers’ calculative thinking. They were afraid that people might pretend to pay respects to their Great Leader and not kowtow to him, insulting and disrespecting their Great Leader so they scattered some ashes on the ground…
Afterwards, this bunch of rough men respectfully yet adorably hugged together…
“Mo Xie… You are finally here…”
“Mo Xie… Haha, you are all grown up and have even found a wife, your uncles here don’t have much to offer so we all prepared a small gift each, hopefully you will like it…”
“Mo Xie… In the future, come more often, the Great Leader anticipates to see you… You didn’t notice how happy the Great Leader was until his soul came back…”, the man who spoke started sobbing before he finished…
“Why are you crying? It is a happy day that third young master brought his wife to see the Great Leader; you are such a sissy to cry like you are mourning, are you even a man…”, the man was reprimanding others but his own eyes had turned red too…
“I… I… *sobs*… I am happy… *sobs*… I am really happy… The Great Leader finally have descendents, and today, we got to see his daughter-in-law. I’m sure he will have grandchildren soon, *sobs*…I am being happy for the Great Leader…happy…”, a man broke out in tears, crying loudly, as he sat on the floor and kowtowed, proclaiming, “I… I miss the days we followed the Great Leader… Seeing how Third Young Master looks exactly like the Great Leader, I, I…I’m happy yet my heart aches…”
These simple yet sincere words made everyone quieten down, leaving their tears to roll, leaving traces on their faces… Each of their minds wandered into memories from a long time ago, their eyes emitting vicissitude, as though they returned to the days when they fought alongside Jun Wu Hui in bloody battles in deserts…
…
Jun Mo Xie stayed in Tian Guan Lin for a day and a night, and left on the third day’s morning. This bunch of welcoming guards made Jun Mo Xie, such a cold-hearted person, feel warmth…
Jun Mo Xie could feel that these people really treated him well from the bottom of their hearts and treated him as though he was their most doted on son or nephew, as though they wanted to take out their hearts as a gift for him… This was definitely not an act, such sincerity could not be an act…
The two of them slowly made their way down the mountain as countless of others followed behind them to send them off. Their faces were filled with tear trails but yet, every one were smiling from comfort…
Until they walked a distance then they heard occasional hollers, “Third Young Master… Come back when you are free! This is also your home… We will wait for you to return, bring your son too… The Great Leader will miss you too…”
Mei Xue Yan wiped the corner of her reddened eyes and said nasally, “Who said that only beasts were capable of true emotions, aren’t this people capable too… how adorable, how sincere… Your father is so impressive to have such true brothers even after death…”
Jun Mo Xie took a deep breath and sighed, “Yes, it is not easy to achieve this, I may not be able to do it too…”, as he recollected his conversation with the guards the previous night…
“Initially, Tian Guan Lin was a competitive ground for militaries… but since the Great Leader built pitched camp here, no matter which country’s generals come, they will make a detour, and even if they don’t, they only came to pay their respects. No one dared to be offensive…”
“We will never leave here, we will keep protection the Great Leader… If we leave, the Great Leader will be lonely… The Great Leader is used to having thousands of soldiers and horses around him, once it becomes quiet, we are afraid he will no be accustomed to it…”
When Jun Mo Xie suggested to help them and their families relocate, Soldier Wu and the rest all said, “…We not only want to keep the Great Leader company forever. Even our sons, our grandsons, they will definitely stay here too… The Wu Hui military flag is our greatest pride! So long this flag is around, everyone will still have a meaning to live…and can find meaning in life…”
“We are self-sufficient. We farm here, contented and enjoying ourselves. We don’t need much money… Third Young Master, it would be better if you take the money with you and use it to do things for the Jun family…”, Soldier Wu and the rest rejected as Jun Mo Xie was about to leave some money for them.
“Please come back often to take a look…you must treat Madam…”
“Third Young Master… From now on, the Jun family depends on you… Please don’t embarrass the Great Leader. Your father is a hero and good man. You cannot tarnish his lifelong reputation…”
……
……
Jun Mo Xie unconsciously had walked far off while deep in thoughts. Mei Xue Yan knew that he was feeling down so she quietly followed him, not saying anything, giving him time to adjust his feelings…
After a while, Jun Mo Xie silently turned around to take a look and realised they were already quite far from Tian Guan Lin but based on his eyesight, he noticed that there were still some people standing on the mountain, waving at them…
“I will definitely be back! Definitely! I won’t let all of your sacrifices down… I will definitely do you guys proud… See you soon…”, Jun Mo Xie swore quietly in his heart!
When he turned his head back, he was looking a lot better. He and Mei Xue Yan looked at each other, telepathically understood each other, used their leg strength and transformed into two white streams of light. In an instance, they flew across the empty ground and disappeared after turning at a corner…
Behind them, Tian Guan Lin became solemn…quiet and dignified…
While travelling, Jun Mo Xie suddenly frowned and Mei Xue Yan simultaneously looked at him. The both of them immediately understood each other’s eyes: There was a strong enemy hidden in front of them! And there was many of them!
This was barely ten miles away from Tian Guan Lin but yet, it is a not too big nor too small valley, surrounded by mountains…
The two of them stood firm and as usual, Mei Xue Yan spoke first, and coldly said, “Is it friends from the Three Holy Lands? Since you are here, show yourselves! What point is there to keep hiding.”
“Hahaha…”, a long, clear laughter was heard and a flash of purple ray appeared. Zi Jing Hong appeared casually and beside him was a well-dressed Xiao Wei Cheng! The surroundings was filled with the sound of clothing breaking airflows and forty to fifty people appeared at the same time, surrounding the two of them in the centre.
When they were in Tian Guan Lin, Jun Mo Xie heard that two oddly dressed men went to pay their respects the past few days and based on their description, he immediately thought of Zi Jing Hong and Xiao Wei Cheng. So he was not surprised when he saw them and in fact, it would be weird if they did not encounter the two of them there!
As they did not attack them in Tian Guan Lin, Jun Mo Xie was somewhat less upset. However, it was separate from the situation they were in…
“Venerable Mei, it has been a while since we met, you still look as good, how great is that.”, Zi Jing Hong said as his robe flew in the air while he stood on the snow, in the wind, looking chic.
