Dai Wei, as promised, pledged to be the ally of three brothers forever and he will battle anyone if he is asked to.
Dai Wei also told the three brothers that he is just a wanderer and works under no one's command
This was something shocking as a man with such godly armor is hard to forget and there is no way that any kingdom won't want him by his side.
To this question, Dai Wei answered "I was not born with this armor but rather through handwork and putting my life on the line many times for my family,
The god of wind got impressed and gave me this armor.
I also thought that becoming a soldier would be a great thing as with this armor, i can even become a general of a kingdom but the question was, is this what i want?"
"Then what do you want?" Xiong Delun asked
"Our nature is greedy and once someone knows that i have this armor that can even withstand the attack of a god, don't you think that they would desire something evil? After all, we all thrive for more power"
Dai Wei took a deep breath, then looked at his daughter.
He pats her head and said "Her mother died because few people knew about by armor, they wanted to use her as hostage but she didnt agrees and gave her life away for me and her daughter.
I don't want to put my daughter in danger, thus i decided to remain in the wild and not show my face to the world because i feared the worst.
But things have changed"
Dai Wei looked at Xiong Delun and said "All i wanted was a simple life, where i could live happily with my family but that didn't happen,
I tried to hide but still, someone found me,
I guess i should now face my fear and fight for my family, thus i pledged myself to you because i believe that you are not evil and neither have any evil goal
So i ask you, to allow me to follow you all"
the three brothers smiled, Xiong Delun raised the head of Dai Wei and said "There is no need to bow your head among friends"
"Friends?" Dai Wei asked with his eyes widened
"Yes, friends,
From now on, we three brothers are you friends" Xiong Bo said with a smile
Dai Wei had his eyes full of tears as he never imagined that there are people who are still so pure in this world.
Even though the three brothers are prince of there kingdom, yet they consider him as there friend
"I am honored" Dai Wei said with a smile

At Sullegar Kingdom-
"Is it already morning?" Chiyou asked as Fang Huizhong
"yes, your highness" Fang Huizhong replied
Chiyou looked at his room, he still can't tell if it's morning or nighttime as he has near the edge of losing his vision.
Just one skill and it took his vision away
Chiyou smiled at himself
He can sense his surrounding with his Qi but he cant tells the difference between day or night, neither he can tell if the person standing in front is a male or female anymore.
"Open the window, its time for my morning prayer" Chiyou said as he gets up from his bed
"Highness, the window has been long open.
As i thought, you cant see right?" Fang Huizhong asked in a sadness
the moment Fang Huizhong brought Chiyou here, he has already doubted that Chiyou cant see as he brought some clothes to change and put them in front of him, yet Chiyou couldn't see it
and then the question about morning time, when the window is already open and sunlight can be seen.
Fang Huizhong is sure that his King has gone blind after his fight
Chiyou smiled and looked at him, he asked "And what if i am? Will you feel pity for me?"
Fang Huizhong's heart ached, he didnt dare to lift his head. With his head bowed, he said "Your highness, who am i to take pity on someone so great as you,
I am nothing more than your servant"
Chiyou is surprised to hear the words of Fang Huizhong as his voice had pain and respect in it
Chiyou stands up and walks toward the window with the help of Fang Huizhong, in front of window, he bows his head and kept his head down till the sun rays didn't fall on him.
Then he said his prayer and also gave respect to the dragon of the sea god and then drank a glass of water.
After that, he asked Fang Huizhong "What is the reason for the sudden change in you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Fang Huizhong shakes his head and said "No your highness, i have just woken up from a dream
A dream that i thought is reality and ignored the reality, but now i am awake.
I can clearly see who you are, i can clearly tell that i am honored to serve someone like you.
People of this kingdom dont know just what you do, neither they respect your humbleness, that was the same for me also.
But last night, i saw that you are willing to throw away your life for your people, for those people who dont even respect you.
I dont know if i even deserve to be under you, But Still
Your highness, i want to follow you..
I want to see the day when the world will call your name with respect and honor, i want to be there
I want to follow your steps
Can you allow me to do that?"
Chiyou dont know what happened and how can someone change in just one night, but he can genuinely feel the respect in his voice.
There is no denying that even though he lost his vision last night, but in return he got a follower
Was it worth it?
Yes, for Chiyou, it is worth it
After all, for his whole life, respect and honor are what he has been asking.
