Chapter 773: Chapter 325: The Number One Marvel in the World_2
However, the next moment, Su Mo had already reached him.
“…You.”
Before Jun Luo could utter another word, a hand was already placed above his Dantian.
A muffled sound, the Qi Sea shattered.
Su Mo’s fingers flexed as he pressed over a dozen acupoints on Jun Luo’s body in one breath.
Then he checked his wrist carefully, and after confirming that he had no Inner Strength to circulate, he finally felt at ease breaking his limbs.
Jun Luo instantly screamed non-stop, lying on the ground wailing relentlessly.
“With no Inner Strength supporting you, has even your heart become weak?”
Su Mo shook his head: “Lord Jun is a devious man; even though his Qi Sea is destroyed, I still dare not be fully assured. By rights, I should crush every bone in your body, then I could rest a little bit Peaceful.
“But seeing your elderly and decrepit appearance, even I find it difficult to be ruthless at times.
“Therefore, I only broke your limbs, hoping that you’ll be somewhat quiet for a moment.”
“…”
Fire was about to leap out of Jun Luo’s murky eyes.
He felt that Su Mo’s words were utterly inhumane.
Those around him realized only then that this old man with a chicken-skin crane-hair appearance was actually Jun Luo.
For a moment, although they were clueless, they also heaved a sigh of relief.
Wan Yutang carried on Xu Lu’s back, had eyes filled with complicated emotions.
Both delight and sadness were present.
Wan Cangxin, leading Wan Yilan, approached Lady Wan, who looked over Wan Cangxin a couple of times.
Then she looked at Wan Yilan:
“Lan’er… Is this the man you have given your heart to?”
“Uh-huh.”
Wan Yilan nodded gently.
“He…”
As she said this, looking towards Wan Yutang, she let out a bitter smile:
“Turns out it’s like this… Lan’er, your mother won’t last much longer, and your father has a deep hatred with me, fearing now it’s a matter of life and death.
“Whether alive or dead is difficult to determine.
“After this, you may have to remain alone in this world.
“However, your fate is actually better than mine.
“In this lifetime, I always yearned but could not obtain, and ultimately got lost in delusion, falling hopelessly into madness.
“I have let you down too, never fulfilling my duties as a mother.
“Lan’er… do not blame me.”
“… Daughter doesn’t blame you.”
As the conversation came to this point, and seeing Lady Wan’s state, Wan Yilan also felt uneasy.
In a soft voice, she said: “Mother had her reasons; your daughter has never blamed you.”
She was merely disappointed.
But this disappointment was no longer necessary to express.
Lady Wan, being who she was, could tell just by looking at Wan Yilan’s demeanor what she was thinking, sighed softly, and made an effort to pull something from her bosom.
“Lan’er, come here…”
She extended her hand.
Wan Yilan instinctively glanced at Wan Cangxin, who nodded gently.
Only then did Wan Yilan approach Lady Wan.
In Lady Wan’s hand was an iron hairpin.
She handed it to Wan Yilan, whispering:
“Lan’er, you should know that your mother was born in the Western Border Marquis Family.
“However, ever since I married into Wusheng Hall, the Marquis Family ceased to appear in Jianghu.
“Over the years, I have not let the Marquis Family’s influence merge into Wusheng Hall, after all, it has been one of my weapons to fight for power in Wusheng Hall.
“I have never let Ren Xiongfei take control to confront Luofeng Alliance.
“Now that I am to die, and you are my only daughter.
“I give this iron hairpin to you.
“The person in your heart is the son of Wan Yutang; he will inevitably become the next Great Hall Master of Wusheng Hall.
“With this hairpin in your palm, you have the old followers of the Hou Family at your command.
“At least when you get married, you won’t be without a dowry.
“In this life, I have spent most of my time fighting with others.
“As a woman, it really has nothing to do with happiness.
“Even if there were times of irresponsible delight, it was never by my own will.
“In this life, as a wife I was disloyal, brought no honor to the family, and showed no maternal love to you…
“Now at the end, upon a sudden reflection… Hahaha…”
At this point, she couldn’t help but laugh skyward, her laughter filled with unspeakable bitterness:
“In truth, I have achieved nothing…”
“Mother…”
Wan Yilan also felt unpleasant hearing this.
Subconsciously, she stepped forward, reaching out to grasp Lady Wan’s hand.
Lady Wan looked down, unable to restrain the tears in her eyes any longer as they fell drop by drop, rolling down:
“Don’t be like your mother, you must… you must take good care of yourself…”
She pressed the iron hairpin into Wan Yilan’s palm, then closed her fingers, as though only in doing this could she finally rest easy.
And after completing this last action, she looked up at Wan Yutang again.
In that gaze was even greater complexity.
In her younger days, she never felt inferior to men in terms of cunning and schemes.
Having married Wan Yutang, she thought she could use Wusheng Hall to revive her family’s status.
However, she did not expect that Wan Yutang already had someone else in his heart.
Whether or not there was affection before, when she became his wife, she truly never thought of leaving him for another.
Yet seeing this man to whom she was joined in matrimony, there was no longer the heroism of his younger years.
And herself… even more stained and impure.
She stammered:
“If there was no… if there wasn’t that woman from Dongcheng…
“Without her, your… your Qing…
“Would you, would you give me a glance?”
Wan Yutang didn’t intend to answer her, but after pondering for a moment, he still sighed:
“No.”
