This villa of Lin Qingxue's had a panoramic rooftop with a great view from the rooftop. And it was also decorated with a swimming pool!
At this moment, on the rooftop, the morning sunlight sprinkled on the swimming pool, and it was suddenly sparkling.
Chen Yang and Lin Qingxue were sitting on the toffee chairs under the sun umbrellas.
Lin Qingxue asked in a slightly grueling voice "My brother is really gone?"
Chen Yang nodded heavily and said "Yes."
Lin Qingxue's eyes reddened as she asked again "When did it happen?"
Chen Yang said "Half a year ago."
Lin Qingxue held back her tears, she was silent for a long time before she said, "What exactly was my brother doing outside all these years? And why did he sacrifice himself? How did you two meet?"
Chen Yang took a deep breath and said, "Since your brother killed for your aunt back then, he fled to a small country in Africa through your aunt's connections. That small country was called District Flag, and originally, your brother was defecting to a general of District Flag. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before that general was attacked by rebels. And the general died. Your brother had no choice but to join the mercenaries. At that time, I also happened to join that group of mercenaries. At that time, your brother was the weakest and was often bullied by his teammates. I saw his pity, so I helped him out. Then I would often teach him kung fu and marksmanship. Gradually, we became good brothers."
He paused and continued "After that, that mercenary team because my skills were too strong. That captain couldn't tolerate me and even wanted to kill me. Your brother told me when he found out, and I left that mercenary team with your brother that night. Later, the two of us bit the bullet and simply created our own mercenary team. This mercenary team is called Blood Wolf, and I am the Wolf King. Your brother is the Crippled Wolf. With three years of development, our team has become the ace mercenary army in Africa."
"Just half a year ago, during a mission, your brother unfortunately died. I knew that his greatest heartache was for you, his sister, so I disbanded the Blood Wolf mercenary team and then returned to Marina to take care of you."
Lin Qingxue burst into tears after hearing this. She then asked "Then where is my brother buried now?"
Chen Yang said in a deep voice, "I buried him in the jungle in Africa."
Lin Qingxue spoke with sadness and said "Can you take me to pay homage to my brother?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Of course I can. We can leave whenever you want."
Lin Qingxue said, "Recently, the company still has some things to do. I will have time in about a month's time."
Chen Yang said, "Okay, I will wait for you."
Lin Qingxue gave Chen Yang a deep look and said, "No matter what, I should thank you."
Chen Yang felt guilty and said, "Don't say that. It's my fault that I didn't take care of your brother."
Lin Qingxue said, "I think my brother will definitely not regret following you as his big brother."
Chen Yang went silent. He remembered the brotherhood he and Lin Nan had together during those years, the two of them picking up girls in bars together, gunning for each other, and at night they used to sleep in the quagmire and talk about the world. Their friendship was such that they could take a bullet for each other.
But now, Lin Nan has been buried in the ground for a long time. And he was still alive.
Right at this moment, Chen Yang felt very guilty and sad. "Qingxue, I'm sorry, I actually lied to you. Lin Nan was not sacrificed during the mission."
Lin Qingxue was stunned.
Chen Yang was actually an emotional person, on one hand, he did not want Qingxue to know that Lin Nan had a stain on him. On the other hand, he did not want to deceive Lin Qingxue. What's more, he didn't want to run away from the fact that he couldn't be blamed for Lin Nan's death.
"What the hell is going on?" Lin Qingxue's face changed as she asked sharply.
Chen Yang's eyes flashed with pain as he said "Half a year ago, we received a single mission. It was to go and help the rebels in Chechnya blow up a bridge. But ... because the enemy organization knew the news in advance, they sent a female spy to hook up with Lin Nan. Later, because Lin Nan accidentally revealed our whereabouts. On that mission, our team lost eight people dead or wounded. We escaped with nine deaths. At that time, we all knew that there was a spy in our midst, and everyone was furious. At that time, your brother stood up, admitted his mistake to me, and explained the truth."
Lin Qingxue's body trembled violently and said, "So you killed my brother?"
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "No. I was so disheartened that I wanted to disband Blood Wolf and forget about it. But I didn't tell your brother, I told him that I wanted him to quit Blood Wolf and have nothing to do with us from now on. But I didn't expect your brother's character to be so strong, he took advantage of my inattention, raised his gun and shot himself in the head. Before he died, he told me that he was born a man of Blood Wolf and died a ghost of Blood Wolf."
Chen Yang still blamed himself painfully as he said this. "Qingxue, I'm sorry. The Blood Wolf Mercenary Corps was founded by Lin Nan and I. I should have thought about Lin Nan's feelings for Blood Wolf. If I had thought about it more, perhaps Lin Nan wouldn't have died."
Lin Qingxue heard this but she let out a long sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Chen Yang had killed her brother. That way she would never be able to forgive Chen Yang. Luckily it wasn't ...
Lin Qingxue didn't blame Chen Yang, instead she said, "Don't blame yourself, you were also angry at that time, that's why you didn't think that much. This is my brother's own choice, I believe that even if my brother is underground, he will never regret following you as his big brother."
Lin Qingxue's words made Chen Yang feel better in his heart.
The two of them then fell into silence, a silence that was a mourning for Lin Nan.
After a long time, Lin Qingxue remembered something and asked Chen Yang, "Will the people from the Shaolin Inner Sect trouble you again?"
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "I don't think so. This time, it was Qin Mo Yao's grandfather who gave the word, so the people from the Shaolin Inner Sect will have to give this face."
Lin Qingxue also knew that Qin Moyao's identity was not trivial, so she let go of her heart when she heard that.
On this day, Lin Qingxue still insisted on going to work. Chen Yang was worried about Lin Qingxue in his heart, but Lin Qingxue behaved normally, so he could not say anything more. Chen Yang had no choice but to ask Tang Qingqing to take good care of Lin Qingxue.
Although Tang Qingqing didn't know what was going on, she could see that something was wrong with Qingxue, so she said to Chen Yang "Don't worry, Qingxue and I are the best of sisters, I will keep an eye on her."
Chen Yang nodded.
During this night, both Chen Yang and Tang Qingqing seemed to have instantly become much more stable. The two no longer fought back and forth like that.
As a matter of fact, this night was also tumultuous for Tang Qingqing. She heard about Chen Yang's crisis from Qingxue, she saw Qingxue hastily saying that Chen Yang was dead. At that time, her heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe, it was like there was a huge, indescribable mourning.
Later, Chen Yang was alive and fine. It was as if she herself had gone through a metamorphosis of life and death.
Tang Qingqing's feelings became even more complicated when she realized that the reason why Chen Yang was in danger was still because of the fact that she and Qingxue had offended the Shaolin Inner Sect.
For Chen Yang, her feelings were undoubtedly very special.
At noon, Chen Yang went to the tea house.
In the lounge of the Tea Villa, Chen Yang and Mu Jing were sitting separately on their knees opposite each other.
"After experiencing yesterday's life and death, do you have any new epiphanies?" Mu Jing asked Chen Yang with a slight smile.
Chen Yang could not help but smile bitterly and said "Yesterday was two times when we were teetering on the edge of death. The first time, we were powerless in front of that person. That was also because we were inexperienced. The second time, I had two moves with that person. Although I was still defeated, I discovered a key issue."
Mu Jing said "Oh, what problem?"
Chen Yang said "I usually never fear when I fight against people, even if it's with swords and knives. But when I fought that man, his aura still struck fear into my heart. I couldn't help but avoid his punching power. The more I avoided, the faster I lost."
Mu Jing said "That's right, I found this problem too."
Chen Yang said "Later, I overcame my fear. I suddenly felt that even though that person was powerful and unrivaled, he was still a human being. So, I can have a couple of fights with him."
Mu Jing said "People have demons in their mind, desires and emotions for a lifetime, and the demons invade their mind. That person's greatest strength lies in being able to catalyze one's heart demons. And rather than overcoming fear, you overcame your heart demons." She paused and said "I also gained something last night. It was after you left that I suddenly figured it out."
Chen Yang was slightly surprised and said, "Oh, what gain?"
Mu Jing said, "Flowers blossom, tides rise and fall. The people around me, my friends, will all grow old and die. Including you, you will also die. This is all a natural phenomenon. I, on the other hand, will be immortalized. As I look at you all, at myself, at Qin Moyao's grief, at all these and all these emotions, I feel that I am a spectator in the red dust."
Chen Yang was taken aback and said "Sister Jing, this is not good for you, are you going to go to the four great emptiness and become a nun?"
Mu Jing said "Follow my heart, I want to be that immortal person who is not bothered by the seven emotions and six desires. This is the Dao I am pursuing!"
Chen Yang was speechless, he and Mu Jing were on equal footing. The path ahead would require both of them to explore, so there was no way for him to say that Mu Jing was wrong. There was no way for Mu Jing to say he was wrong either.
As the two of them chatted, it was then that Xu Qing, one of the Xu brothers outside, entered.
"Brother Chen Yang, Miss Xu Qing is here, she is looking for you."
Chen Yang was slightly surprised, he then stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go see her."
He was just about to go out when Mu Jing suddenly said "Chen Yang."
Chen Yang was stunned and turned back to look at Mu Jing, saying "What's wrong, Sister Jing?"
Mu Jing said, "If you really like Su Qing, why do you have to suppress your heart. If you don't want to get married, don't get married. If you like her, marry her. I advise you to follow your heart and do as you please. That way you can walk on the path you want."
Chen Yang could not help but smile bitterly and said, "If I want Su Qing and do not marry her. If I want Su Qing and don't marry her, then Su Qing will not be happy, and if she is not happy, then I will not be happy either. If I marry her, I will also be unhappy."
Mu Jing said "So as long as you don't sort out this mess, you will never be able to enter the Jindan realm."
