The Dragon Warrior Pair
DWP 232 - Please Stay Away From Me
Xue Lihua told Xue Bingyue that the sweet girl was willing to take her place as the Moon Snow Island Matriarch. Given Xue Bingyue's background, of course, that cute girl was the heir to the empty seat of the leadership of the Moon Snow Island.
After all Xue Lihua herself had already acknowledged Xue Bingyue's strength. Indeed this was a huge burden, but Xue Lihua would serve as Xue Bingyue's adviser if the sweet girl accepted the offer of the position of the Moon Snow Island Matriarch.
Xue Bingyue wanted to accept the position, considering that Jing Yang had also become an Emperor Jiang at a young age. After a long chat, Xue Bingyue finally accepted Xue Lihua's offer to become the Snow Moon Island Matriarch.
Perhaps Xue Bingyue was the youngest warrior to serve as the Matriarch Sect at such a young age. It was not an easy matter to become a Matriarch Sect, because after all it required the recognition of many parties.
Arriving at the Huaran Capital, Xue Lihua intended to return to the Moon Snow Island as soon as possible. However Jing Yang stopped him, because Jing Yang had sent Fan Ziwei to Moon Snow Island to have the swordsman from the island join the Dawn Dragon Lantern.
“Yang-His Highness, many female warriors who do not have fighting abilities. Are you sure you're taking them all into battle.”
Xue Lihua was surprised by Jing Yang's orders. It was indeed now that Jing Yang had held a high position, but Xue Lihua did not expect to bow and be as polite as possible to Jing Yang.
‘Aura this authority? That's it, you're amazing.’ Inner Xue Lihua was amazed at Jing Yang's eyes on her.
Jing Yang smiled, “Senior Lihua, I asked the swordsman of Peach Flower Palace and Moon Snow Island to make a stock of aura and inner power recovery pills. We need a lot of stock, besides I'm not forcing female warriors to join this war.”
“I realize this embattled will many die. But I promise to protect as many people as I can save.” Jing Yang clenched his hands tightly. Having come this far, he felt that his feelings of vengeance were mere hatred.
“To avenge the death of my parents. In the end, I involved a lot of people. I can't protect anyone like this.” Jing Yang rubbed his face and exhaled a long breath.
“Yangyang, everyone was involved as they sensed the danger from the Demon Skull Island. Moreover, everyone would join the battle having the same feeling on the Demon Skull Island. We can't let the people of the island get more powerful.” Xue Bingyue responded to Jing Yang's remark.
Only Xue Bingyue dared to call Jing Yang with such a call even in the throne room where there were Murong Qiaomi, Yi Yue, Xue Lihua, Duan Zhaoyang, Feng Xian, Shui Jun and Yan Tian.
In addition there are also several palace officials directly chosen by Murong Qiaomi. Jing Yang's leadership left the corrupt officials with no place in Jiang Palace, even all of them had been put to death by Murong Qiaomi and Yi Yue without Jing Yang's knowledge.
“Your Majesty, we all thought the same thing. If we let the Demon Skull Island remain, then calamity will always occur in the Jiang Empire. Just as Yue told you, we must not let them get stronger.” Murong Qiaomi gave his opinion to Jing Yang.
“I understand, Aunt Qiaomi.” Jing Yang raised his right hand so that Murong Qiaomi stopped talking because he already understood his words.
“So we will split three squads in this war. The first squad was the intruder squad led by Brother Feng and Brother Zhaoyang. The second squad was the assault squad, this squad was led by Grandfather Yan and Senior Liuyu. The third squad is the defense squad, this squad is led by Senior Liwen and Senior Ziwei.”
Jing Yang watched everyone present in the meeting hall even though there were no Murong Liuyu, Xue Liwen and Fan Ziwei. It seemed that everyone agreed with Jing Yang's proposal, but after a moment of silence Yan Tian finally spoke up.
“Your Majesty, sorry for my sassness for my words. What Your Majesty doesn't mind if visiting the Sky Sword Sect. There's something this old geezer wants to talk to His Majesty there.” Yan Tian saluted Jing Yang and bowed, yet Jing Yang gestured for no need to bow to him.
Jing Yang frowned, “Secte Sky Sword?” Everyone in the meeting hall was curious about Yan Tian's intentions. Because after all Yan Tian was once a hero just like Sheng Long.
In the era of Jing Yang's leadership, Yan Tian came back and this was a big event. With Yan Tian, it naturally increased the chances of victory even greater.
“Alright, Grandpa Yan. After my affairs in Xuedong City are done, I will pay a visit to the Single Sword Sect. We still have time before the Fire Festival starts.” Jing Yang stared at everything sharply and added, “We still have two months. Use that time as best you can.”
After the meeting was over Jing Yang and Xue Bingyue walked towards Jing Yang's private room. There Jing Yang recounted his encounter with Ye Xiaoya until the incident at the Tower of Gods, about him killing his own biological grandfather.
Xue Bingyue was shocked to hear Jing Yang's story. To Xue Bingyue now she was not the only female figure occupying Jing Yang's heart. As Jing Yang recounted Ye Xiaoya's figure, somehow Jing Yang seemed to know Ye Xiaoya very well and felt guilty for her disappearance.
But after Jing Yang told him about the incident in the Tower of Gods, Xue Bingyue was shocked to learn that Jing Yang's grandfather Jing An killed his grandmother Xue Qinghua.
Jing An was controlled by Tang Mu and managed to kill Xue Qinghua. Although it wasn't Jing Yang's or Jing An's fault that Tang Mu's soul controlled, Jing Yang felt guilty and endured it all alone.
Jing Yang ended his own grandfather's life. Upon learning that, Xue Bingyue could feel the sadness and despair that was approaching Jing Yang, subconsciously Xue Bingyue hugged Jing Yang's body and cried.
“Yangyang, thank you for being honest with me. I'm sorry, I didn't know you went through any of that. From this moment on, I won't let you bear it all alone.”
Jing Yang understood Xue Bingyue would forgive him, but all of this was not an easy matter. Jing Yang was afraid of hurting Xue Bingyue in the future, the sweet girl meant so much to him that even Jing Yang was willing to do anything for Xue Bingyue's happiness.
Jing Yang finally told Xue Bingyue about the curse and the condition of her body. Xue Bingyue's expression was complicated hearing all of this. However Xue Bingyue could see and understand if Jing Yang would leave another woman for her sake.
On one side Xue Bingyue wanted Jing Yang to be hers entirely, on one side Xue Bingyue did not want to lose Jing Yang. Inner Xue Bingyue was raging, yet Xue Bingyue wanted Jing Yang to decide for himself as she would accept the decision with a sincere heart.
“Yueyue..” Jing Yang stroked Xue Bingyue's head and said softly.
Xue Bingyue buried her head in Jing Yang's boat.
“If one day I am not a person you know, please take care of me. I don't want to hurt you.” Jing Yang stopped stroking Xue Bingyue's head. The atmosphere of both of them was tense now.
Xue Bingyue looked up and looked at Jing Yang sharply, “What do you mean?” Yangyang, about the curse. You don't have to worry about my feelings. We are still children, but I'm sure you will make the family you once craved."
Jing Yang smiled, “Sorry, Yueyue. Forget my words. I just want to see everyone happy. But thanks to you I realize, if I deserve to be happy too, thank you.”
Jing Yang stood up and smiled warmly at Xue Bingyue as he extended his hand. Xue Bingyue welcomed the helping hand and asked Jing Yang about the young man's feelings for Xue Rong or any other woman.
Behind the door of Jing Yang's private room, Murong Qiaomi heard all the talk just now. The mature woman gulped in disbelief as Jing Yang had gone through a difficult time alone, moreover Jing Yang's speech was very mysterious as if the young man could guess the future.
‘Small Emperor...'
