Immortal Warriors
IW 115 - My Responsibility

Deep within the underground chamber of the Blue Moon Pavilion that was commonly used to lock up criminals intent on harassing this trading group was used to curb Qian Yu.

Qian Yu's body was covered in bruises from being beaten and kicked by Hu Gu. Even worse Hu Gu whipped Qian Yu's body to make the middle-aged woman have a number of bloody bruises on her body.

Qian Yu sat down with a weak body, she did not expect her life to be ruined like this. In his heart he felt a seething pain upon learning Hu Gu was intending to peddle his body to the Black Wolf swordsman.

As Qian Yu dissolved into her daydream, a young man came to open the iron bars with a beautiful woman. While the two middle-aged women accompanying the young man and the beautiful woman had left.

“Aibi Qian..” The young man who was none other than Ling Zhen greeted Qian Yu who was sitting contemplating.

Qian Yu's daydream was blown away when she saw Ling Zhen's face that looked even more handsome compared to when the two had last met.

“Zhen? No, I mean Young Master Ling? Is this really you?” Qian Yu shed tears, she did not expect the person who would save her was not her husband but Ling Zhen.

“I'm sorry, Aunt Qian. You're like this because of my fault.” Ling Zhen's eyes could not be separated from the skin of Qian Yu's body which was covered in bruises.

‘To my horror as a human being, I never hit a woman..’ Ling Zhen closed his eyes. Right now his feelings were filled with melodies of anger.

Xue Lianhua held Ling Zhen's hand to appease her husband, “Gege.”.

Ling Zhen opened his eyes and looked at Xue Lianhua who understood his feelings.

“I understand, Lian.” Ling Zhen approached Qian Yu and bowed his body.

“Aunt Qian, you can vent all this on me. I am the cause of your suffering.” Ling Zhen bit his lower lip and tried not to get out of control as he most disliked seeing a woman being tortured.

Now in front of him was Qian Yu with a concerned body and of course it made Ling Zhen so angry. Qian Yu's own age was five years younger than her mother's, naturally seeing Qian Yu in this state made Ling Zhen's blood boil.

Qian Yu shed her tears and could not hide her sadness. All of this was too heavy for him to bear, subconsciously the woman held onto Ling Zhen's shoulder and made the young man stand tall before him.

Then Qian Yu cried to Ling Zhen's chest while hugging the young man's body. Seeing that Xue Lianhua closed her eyes knowing how the grief-filled Qian Yu felt.

Ling Zhen was about to stroke Qian Yu's hair but his hand stopped, ‘Aunt Qian is like this because of my mistake... I will atone for this sin that has made this woman suffer.’.

Ling Zhen closed his eyes and let Qian Yu cry in his chest. It took a long time for Qian Yu to calm herself down.

“Zhen... Can Aunt Qian call you so like she used to?” Qian Yu was about to wipe away her tears, but Ling Zhen's fingers first wiped away her tears.

“Of course you can, Aunt Qian.” Ling Zhen looked at Qian Yu's wrinkled face but he had to admit Qian Yu still looked beautiful.

Qian Yu held onto Ling Zhen's palm then looked at Xue Lianhua, “It looks like you didn't come with Miss Ji?”

Ling Zhen explained to Qian Yu about the birth of his first child and Ji Yanran who settled in the Capital of Chudong even his Mother who had woken up. Hearing all of that made Qian Yu smile, yet for a moment her face looked sad.

“I didn't expect Miss Ji to have a child... Your son must be adorable. I want to see it.” Qian Yu said that with a smile. Ling Zhen who saw that smile felt a deep sadness.

“Aunt Qian, I will tell you everything about Black Wolf and your husband.” Ling Zhen said that he had killed all the members of the Black Wolf.

“Aunt Qian?” Ling Zhen thought that Qian Yu was crying because Hu Gu had died.

“I'm just confused as to what kind of expression, Zhen.” Qian Yu wiped her tears and smiled, “I want to be alone.”

After that Qian Yu walked towards the top floor of the Blue Moon Pavilion. Ling Zhen and Xue Lianhua were waiting for Qian Yu inside Ling Zhen's private room.

“Gege, looks like I can guess your way of thinking. Do you want to endure all of Aunt Qian's suffering? If it's true, then you're going to propose to her tonight aren't you?” Xue Lianhua did not feel jealous, even this woman was happy to see Ling Zhen who cared deeply about Qian Yu's condition.

Ling Zhen gulped because Xue Lianhua's words were certainly a serious talk. The young man let out a long sigh and ruffled his own hair.

“I don't understand, Lian! But I am the cause of all this! Aunt Qian is so gentle as Mother, I just can't bear to see a woman like Aunt Qian having to experience it all.” Ling Zhen was worried because he was afraid of hurting the feelings of Xue Lianhua and his other wife.

“Gege, meet Aunt Qian. I'm afraid he tried to kill himself.” Xue Lianhua guessed that Qian Yu was in a vacuum.

Ling Zhen frowned, “Suicide you said?” After that Ling Zhen immediately moved towards the room that Qian Yu was using.

‘Aunt Qian, don't do anything stupid! I beg!’ Ling Zhen moved quickly then pushed the door hard. His eyes widened looking at Qian Yu was pointing a sharp knife towards her neck.

Ling Zhen immediately held onto Qian Yu's palm and threw away the sharp blade iu far away.

“Aunt Qian! What are you doing?!” Ling Zhen did not expect Qian Yu to attempt suicide.

“Zhen release! Let me be at peace! I can't stand all this anymore! My life is ruined!” Qian Yu cried and roared. The woman did not care if the Flower Pavilion's servants heard her.

Ling Zhen hugged Qian Yu's body tightly then kissed the middle-aged woman's forehead.

“Definitely painful through all that alone... Forgive me for not being aware of all this..” Ling Zhen looked at Qian Yu's frozen face.

Seeing such a fragile Qian Yu made the palm gently stroke the middle-aged woman's cheek. Ling Zhen brought his face closer to Qian Yu's face then briefly kissed the middle-aged woman's lips.

“Aunt Qian, I will atone for all my sins on you. I'll make you happy by being a whole woman.” Ling Zhen revealed his feelings and thoughts after seeing for himself Qian Yu's condition.

“Be my life companion..” Ling Zhen stroked Qian Yu's ring finger and took off the ring that was curled in the woman's sweet finger before replacing it with a beautiful ring that glittered and contained the aura of her body and life energy.

Qian Yu's heart was pounding. His body was hollow, yet Ling Zhen held him back. In his life, he did not expect the boy who often colonized his employer proposed to him.

Qian Yu lowered her head, ‘How is this? Do I have to answer it now? No, none of this is true. I am now a widow and a tarnished woman, whereas she..’.

Ling Zhen stroked Qian Yu's cheek and again said, “Aunt Qian, am I too young for you? If you think so, I promise to make you happy as long as you accept my shortcomings and conditions.”

“Zhen..” Qian Yu's voice felt heavy. The middle-aged woman again lowered her head and nodded her head slowly.

Ling Zhen who saw that asked, “Are you willing to be my life companion, Aunt Qian?”

Qian Yu again nodded her head then looked at Ling Zhen's timid face, “I'm willing, Zhen.” After that a mouthful of tears drenched Qian Yu's face.
