"Is that true!?" Wen Jingyun's expression suddenly turned fierce.
Wen Yanqing's disability was the pain of his entire life. Not only was the chance for the Wen Family to rise lost, but his most excellent and sensible son was also completely ruined.
"Family Head Wen, you just need to ask your son to find out.
Tsk, such a good child, to have kept this a secret for so many years without saying anything." Han Zheng sighed softly, showing a regretful expression.
Wen Jingyun imdiately rushed out and ran to where Wen Yanqing was still sunbathing. "Father, what happened? Has Mr. Han from the Demon Cleansing Bureau troubled you?" Wen Yanqing, seeing his father hurriedly running to him, showed a worried expression on his pale face.
The Wen Family, being an inconspicuous small clan, tread as if on thin ice, not allowing for the slightest error.
Wen Yanqing knew about the grudges between the Demon Cleansing Bureau and the Smoke Wave Prefecture, but he couldn't share his family's worries or solve his father's difficulties, which caused him imnse pain.
"Yanqing, were you plotted against by Yue Jingtong back then? Were your legs disabled by the Yue Family!?" Wen Yanqing's face showed a hint of astonishnt, then he gave a bitter smile and shook his head: "Father, it's been so many years, what's the use in delving into these matters now?"
"I'm asking you, did the Yue Family really do this!?" Wen Jingyun's expression beca fierce once more.
Wen Yanqing hesitated for a mont, then nodded slightly, "Yes, back then Yue Jingtong invited to drink, and I could not refuse. Afterward, I felt sothing was wrong. There was poison in the wine, which blocked my ridians and greatly reduced my strength.
Those two loose cultivators kept provoking , and finally, they struck to kill, disabling my legs.
I rember those two; they weren't local martial artists from Smoke Wave Prefecture but close friends Yue Jingtong had made abroad. All of this was Yue Jingtong's plan, just to prevent from competing with him for a spot in the Washing Sword Pavilion."
"Why didn't you tell all this!?" Wen Yanqing bitterly smiled, "Father, our Wen Family's strength is far too inferior to the Yue Family. What use would my words have?
Telling you would only increase your pain, and if you impulsively sought revenge on the Yue Family, our clan would stand to lose even more.
Moreover, since it has already happened, even if we went to the Yue Family, my cultivation would still be ruined, so it's better to pretend we know nothing."
"My son!" Wen Jingyun embraced Wen Yanqing tightly, tears streaming down his face.
He could never have imagined that his son had been carrying so much these years, being so sensible it was heartbreaking.
Wen Yanqing wiped his father's tears and gently shook his head, "It's nothing, Father. It was my own carelessness that I fell into Yue Jingtong's trap."
Speaking, Wen Yanqing shifted his gaze to Han Zheng approaching from behind and frowned lightly, "Mr. Han, was it you who told this to my father?
I know you want to incite my Wen Family to make a move against the Yue Family, but don't you think this thod is too malicious?
With my Wen Family's weak strength, if we truly enrage the Yue Family, there will be no more chances for us to turn over.
Mr. Han, you trap my family for your personal gain; such actions, I fear, are hardly what a gentleman would do."
Han Zheng shook his head gently, "I never claid to be a gentleman.
Wen Young Master, you indeed have the composure of a gentleman, it's a pity that your martial arts were ruined.
Yue Jingtong, a shaless villain, has now beco an Inner Sect Disciple of the Washing Sword Pavilion and basks in glory.
Sotis, being a gentleman is a curse. I only believe in the survival of the fittest.
Moreover, although I am plotting against your family, I'm also offering you an opportunity for revenge.
Are you really planning to remain submissively like this for a lifeti?
Forgive my bluntness, but though you, Wen Young Master, are very sensible, even to a heartbreaking extent, you lack the courageous spirit of a martial artist.
An enmity of nine generations is yet resolvable. Yue Jingtong plotted against you, don't you think of annihilating his entire family, and instead, you think of enduring? How long will you endure?"
Wen Jingyun shouted angrily, "Mr. Han is right! I can't stand it anymore! Does Yue Qing and the entire Yue Family know what Yue Jingtong has done?"
Wen Yanqing hesitated for a mont, then nodded and said, "They should all know, otherwise Yue Jingtong wouldn't dare to harm so blatantly. From the mont he started planning, the Yue Family might have been ready to go to war with my Wen Family, which is also why I chose to hide it.
Once my Wen Family goes to war with the Yue Family, our chances of winning are almost zero. Only by pretending to know nothing can we muddle through this matter."
Wen Jingyun's eyes were red with anger.
Thinking of his son's years of endurance and his own frustrations, Wen Jingyun even now wished he could imdiately attack the Yue Family.
"Mr. Han, this ti my Wen Family stands with you, and we will not rest until the Yue Family is finished!
I know my Wen Family is no match for the Yue Family, but as long as you, Mr. Han, can help take revenge, my Wen Family will follow your lead from now on!"
A cold glint appeared in Han Zheng's eyes, "Family Head Wen, rest assured, the Yue Family won't survive this ti."
Last ti during the banquet at the Demon Cleansing Bureau, Yue Qing was the one who jumped the highest and had the worst attitude.
Among the forces in the Smoke Wave Prefecture, the Yue Family was also the most high-profile.
Destroying the Lishan Sect was only because he had a grudge with the Black Water Gang; destroying the Yue Family was Han Zheng's true goal.
"Mr. Han, when do you plan to make a move?"
"Whenever the Yue Family plans to move against the Black Water Gang, that's when I plan to strike. Then, I will need you, Family Head Wen, to pass on the information."
Wen Jingyun said in a grave tone, "Rest assured, Mr. Han, the ssage will be delivered at the first possible mont."
Seeing the fierce and hateful expression on Wen Jingyun's face, Han Zheng smiled and said, "Family Head Wen, don't be anxious. The Yue Family is dood; revenge isn't urgent at this mont."
After saying this, Han Zheng left the Wen Family.
Watching Han Zheng's departing figure, Wen Yanqing shook his head slightly and said, "Father, you took so risks today.
This Mr. Han from the Demon Cleansing Bureau spares neither plants nor animals in his actions, and doesn't resemble a right-minded person. Following him feels a bit like gambling.
If we lose this gamble, our Wen Family will suffer greatly."
"If we lose, then we lose! The Yue Family has humiliated my son so much, if I endure any longer, wouldn't I beco a coward?"
The personalities of Wen Jingyun and Wen Yanqing were almost completely reversed.
Wen Jingyun usually seed cautious, but if truly provoked, he would dare to fight desperately disregarding everything.
Although Wen Yanqing was young, he was very forbearing, even willing to sacrifice personal vendettas for the sake of the family, prioritizing stability above all.
Had he not been disabled, the Wen Family would certainly have flourished under his leadership.
Wen Yanqing took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Father, since you've decided to move against the Yue Family, strike like thunder and leave no room for maneuver.
Yue Tiande, the old ancestor of the Yue Family, has nearly reached the Dan Sea Realm, but with his age, it's unlikely he'll fully condense the Dan Sea in his lifeti.
Use the Netherworld Killing Needle left by our ancestors, offer it to Mr. Han at the critical mont.
And take with you, I'll wield the Netherworld Killing Needle."
Wen Jingyun was sowhat shocked to see his son take such an extre stance.
The Wen Family, prosperous in its early years, had inherited several valuable items, among which the Netherworld Killing Needle was one.
However, such consumables, reduced by one each ti they were used, were never to be employed unless the family faced a crucial mont of potential destruction.
Wen Yanqing's personality was just so; having chosen to endure before, he endured to the utmost, swallowing all bitterness alone, without even telling his own father the truth.
But now that he had decided to act, he was utterly resolute, willing to pay any price to help Han Zheng destroy the Yue Family.
"Using the Netherworld Killing Needle is fine, but you cannot go! My child, your legs are disabled, and it's too dangerous in such chaos!"
Wen Yanqing said in a lowered voice, "My legs may be disabled, but my hands are not. The ridians in my hands can still gather True Qi.
Moreover, the Yue Family can guard against everyone, but they will never guard against a disabled person like .
Father, let go.
Since we've decided to act, I want to personally see the people of the Yue Family die!"
Wen Jingyun hesitated for a mont, but ultimately nodded.
