Chapter 266 - Debt Of Gratitude
Bai Rouyun was resting for the rest of the day, without paying any attention to the rest of her entourage. The ones outside the carriage did not even dare to breathe loudly, as they feared that Jiang Wei would beco angry and slaughter them in fury.
Jiang Wei was not asleep, instead he was rubbing the bridge of his nose with a bit of embarrassnt, but also hidden disdain.
He was used to others looking at him as if he was a demon, even in the Wushi continent he was considered a cold-blooded and ruthless figure, so he was used to these scared experts, however when he noticed how Bai Rouyun was treating him as a normal person, and did not even care about showing herself in such a defenseless state to him, he felt intrigued.
It was very interesting to think about how this woman, who was the weakest amongst the entire group, was the one who showed him the most trust.
Even in his family, most would consider him ntally flawed, and while they dared not look down on him or mock him, they all avoided him like the plague.
The only person who was treating him sowhat well Li Moyun’s grandfather.
While Li Moyun was not aware of his true heritage, and the family were not willing to accept him if he wanted to return, there was still a debt of gratitude that made Jiang Wei unable to treat Li Moyun badly.
One has to know that the only reason he had been tossed to the prison continent was due to his mother’s background. The two parents ca from two different ancient families, and they had been feuding for many years.
The mother and father fell in love, but their love collapsed due to the pressure from their families, and Li Moyun was not allowed to exist.
However, neither of the families would be willing to harm their bloodline, so they simply tossed him to the prison continent to depend on his luck to survive.
Jiang Wei had later taken on the task of finding a treasure that had hidden in this continent for millennia, and when he arrived, he learned about Li Moyun’s identity.
While he had not done any background search, he could easily guess the identity as he looked exactly like his father, with a bit softer features from his mother.
Jiang Wei was a mber of Li Moyun’s original family, but he was not in a much better position. He had been born in a family branch, and while his talent eclipsed those of the direct linage, his family would suffer from one disaster after another.
Eventually, his entire branch had died, only to leave him alive. He, too, would have died, if not for the sake of Li Moyun’s grandfather to step in and save his life.
Jiang Wei did not like his family, but he still held back the hatred in his heart while this old man was alive, and vented his fury on other people, who in turn, died miserable deaths.
The anger that was trapped in his heart had made him more and more ruthless when dealing with others, which resulted in many considering him a demon and fearing his wrath.
While even his family feared him and disliked him, he suddenly encountered this young woman who did not seem to be prejudiced towards him at all.
However, what made him admire her even more was that she did not beco submissive either. She treated him as an equal, well aware that her life could be ended with a re thought.
Such ntal strength made him admire her greatly, but he also tried to keep his mind clear. This woman had already married, and while he did not mind marrying a woman who had previously been divorced, this woman was currently in a happy marriage, and he refused to beco a third-party that would destroy their couple.
As such, Jiang Wei wrested his eyes away from the woman that was seating opposite, and began looking out the window while pondering his future plans.
When he arrived at this continent, he had not felt any urge to rush through the search of this treasure, as he considered this trip more of a vacation than anything else, but now he wondered if he should increase the speed of searching.
The identity he was currently using did not belong to him, but it did not belong to the person he had taken it from either.
When he arrived, he witnessed a pair of twins reunite. It turned out that Jiang Wei and his brother Jiang Hu had been seperated at a young age after the death of their parents. Jiang Wei had been picked up by Li Moyun and beca a mber of the Eternal Shadow Palace, while Jiang Hu had beco a servant of a hidden family known as the Feng family.
The Feng family had found out that the two twins looked identical, so they made Jiang Hu reunite, with the purpose of having him kill his brother, and then take over his identity and beco a spy in the Eternal Shadow Palace.
Jiang Hu succeeded under the curious gaze of this fake Jiang Wei, and just as he began feeling excited of his victory, Jiang Wei had killed him and decided that this identity was suitable for him.
He used a special kind of technique that not only changed his facial features, but also his entire stature to beco identical to this young man whom he had just killed, and then he took over his identity.
Throughout the ti he had been lurking in the Eternal Shadow Palace, he had also pretended to act as a spy, but in fact, everything he had inford the Feng family about was pure nonsense.
He was not bound by the heavenly oath of the Eternal Shadow Palace, nor was he bound by the oath of the Feng family. He was free and able to live life for his own purpose.
