There was a pause as Yan Shi seed to completely imrse himself in his mories, a tender light shining in his eyes, and after a long while, he continued, "My father soon found out about our affair. As his only son and the future heir to the Clan Leader of the Pu Yan Tribe, my father had wanted to marry the daughter of a major tribe’s leader. When he found out about my love for Yun Er, he fiercely opposed it. But how could I be so easily defeated? My father once forced to choose between the position of Clan Leader and Yun Er, but I chose Yun Er without hesitation. In the end, my father reluctantly agreed to our marriage under the condition of helplessness, and I still vividly rember the various twists and turns we went through during those years. We’ve been married for only two years now. For , these two years have been like a heavenly life. I was so happy, truly so happy. Whenever I left ho for tasks, I would think that gentle Yun Er was waiting for at ho, definitely preparing my favorite dishes waiting for my return. Just the thought of her filled my heart with sweetness and anticipation. Yesterday, when your sword was about to strike , the only thought in my mind was that I would never see my beloved Yun Er again. Later, when you chose to injure yourself rather than hurt , I was truly grateful. Because as long as I was alive and could return ho, I could see Yun Er again. But now, she’s gone, my happiness is gone, just disappeared so suddenly. Brother, how can I accept this?" Upon saying this, Yan Shi started to sob uncontrollably. Tears stread down continuously, wetting his clothes.
Moved by the story of Yan Shi and Yun Er, Ah Dai was deeply touched, his heartstrings vibrated by Yan Shi’s profound love for Yun Er.
It took a while for Yan Shi’s emotions to settle. Choking up, he said, "My Yun Er was so kind-hearted, she never provoked anyone and definitely didn’t have any enemies. She was good to everyone, and she even helped heal cats and dogs when they were injured. But now, she’s just gone. She left with indignation and pain. Who could be so cruel? To not even spare a girl as kind as Yun Er. I am filled with hatred, I truly am. If I hadn’t left for patrol today and had stayed by her side, Yun Er wouldn’t have died."
Ah Dai patted Yan Shi on the shoulder and asked, "Big Brother Yan Shi, has any stranger co to your tribe recently?"
Yan Shi shook his head firmly and said, "No, absolutely not. Our Pu Yan Tribe has always had little contact with outsiders, let alone bring them into our tribe. If you hadn’t spared my life yesterday and had no connection with the Tian Gang Sword Sect, I would never have brought you all back to my tribe. Brother, I really don’t want to live anymore. I want to die, to follow Yun Er to the underworld. Perhaps there, we can be together again. The only thing that I can’t let go of now is Yun Er’s revenge. I must dismber that demon’s body into a thousand pieces." A chilling aura of vengeance filled the entire carriage, and for a mont, Ah Dai suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
Yan Shi’s gaze gradually grew colder, and he spoke in a low voice, "Brother Ah Dai, thank you for awakening . I must avenge Yun Er. You’re right, that demon is very likely soone from our tribe, and it’s even more likely that this demon is among our ranks. Because Yun Er has been with for so long, she has learned so martial arts. To kill Yun Er without making a sound, the demon must have considerable skills. I believe there must be so purpose behind her murder, and they will likely show themselves again. After you get off the carriage, don’t tell anyone about coming to my senses. When I get back to my father, I will find the enemy. The people guarding the carriage around us are brothers I absolutely trust, they won’t reveal our conversation."
Ah Dai nodded, not understanding the situation, and said, "Big Brother Yan Shi, don’t be too sad, the enemy will surely be captured."
Yan Shi closed his eyes, squeezed out the last two drops of tears, and said coldly, "From now on, I will no longer be sad. My heart is filled only with hatred. Brother Ah Dai, go on and get off the carriage, wipe your tears. Don’t let anyone see."
Ah Dai wiped his tears and said, "Big Brother Yan Shi, take care." He then turned to leave the carriage.
"Wait a mont." Yan Shi called out to Ah Dai.
Ah Dai turned back in confusion and asked, "Big Brother Yan Shi, is there anything else?"
Yan Shi looked deeply into Ah Dai’s eyes and said, "Brother, you are truly a kind and good person. Thank you. From now on, you are my best brother."
Ah Dai grasped Yan Shi’s hand, "Big Brother, I have no siblings and have been alone since childhood. Having you as a big brother is my fortune!"
Upon returning to the carriage, Ah Dai sat beside Xuan Yue under everyone’s watchful gaze.
Moon Scar asked, "How is Yan Shi doing?"
Ah Dai shook his head and responded, "Big Brother Yan Shi is in a very bad state, completely stupefied by his wife’s death. He didn’t say a word, just staring at his wife’s coffin." In his heart, Ah Dai thought, this must be the first lie I’ve ever told. Big Brother Yan Shi, I hope you can find the enemy soon.
Yue Ji sighed, "He is so pitiable, losing his wife at such a young age."
Xuan Yue suddenly opened her eyes, glanced at Ah Dai, but said nothing.
A day later, with the protection of five hundred Pu Yan Tribe Warriors, the group arrived at the biggest tribe in the southwest of the Pu Yan Tribe—the Yan Tribe. All the people here bore the surna Yan, and Yan Shi’s father was the leader of this tribe, as well as the Clan Leader of the entire Pu Yan Tribe.
