Red Strings of Connections

Chapter 58 The Signal Flare

“You can carry her now. The bean is already working.”

“Thank you!”

On the other hand, the man that Myo Ning interrogating has finally answer. “Many—but that’s because I have to! Or else they won’t pay me!”

“You said that you have a wife and upcoming child right? And you want to go home, yes?”

“Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!”

“What about the people you’ve killed? Have it not occur to you that they also have family waiting for them? That they have wife or husband, an upcoming offspring or worst has many children. Parents that praying for their safety or a lover. You killed those people without considering this circumstances and now you want to be spare? Just what you have that could exempt you from this war? Don’t you know? In war, it’s kill or be kill. Eye for eye, tooth for a tooth. You take lives, expect to be kill. No exemption.”

“But...!”

“Did their “buts” stop you from killing them?” The man did not answer, losing his grip on his hand and to his self from there he knew he is already done for, that no matter how much he beg for mercy this man nor anyone won’t give it to him anymore. Just like he thought before joining the Sunshot Alliance he’ll regret it, but it is already too late.

Everyone else too have also taken the hint that they have no escape to the decision they have arrogantly made back then.

Myo Ning doesn’t need to do anything at the cultivator, as he finally vomit his last drop of his blood. Myo Ning sighs as the cultivator drop dead on his feet.

The signal flare that was release in the sky by the struggler didn't just called for their comrades, the symbol of the Wen which they uses for their own benefit, was recognized by many cultivators nearby, and quickly helping hands came in the Jiang Sect, increasing the corpses of the enemies rather than their owns.

Lan Wangji and Nie Huaisang step in, ready to fight one enemies were sighted but what greeted them wasn't the enemies that ready to attack rather they were flabbergasted seeing the enemies were caught and was raised off the ground by some black smoke thing, their ears are almost bleeds by just hearing Su She cursing atop pf his lungs, but he's not cursing at them, no despite his obvious hatred towards Lan Wangji, Su She nor any comrades of his ever notice their arrival, rather their attentions are currently fixed at the familiar figures that helping Jiang Fengmian off the ground.

"You three..." Jiang Fengmian couldn't contain his emotion that tears appears at his eyes, it is tears of joy. Joy of seeing the teens all alive and seems to healthy.

"Heh! Those stupids from Jin Sect is really useless! To think you have escaped from them. I see Jin Zixun is useless just I expected, he already have two in his hands and yet--hah! No one is really good as I am."

"Goodness, you calling yourself better than anyone in that state? By the way..." O Zhangyao traces, "who are you again?"

"Really! Really arrogant! I'll tell you my name so you better remember it, as you'll kneel in front of me later! I am--" Su She was cut off when Li Yang yawns loudly.

Realizing what he have done, Li Yang smiles widely then grins, "I'm sorry!" He laughed, "I've gotten sleepy thanks to your boring speech."

"Let's cut the chase," Cong Zhuliu interjected, "are you someone even worth remembering?" He ask bluntly, simple and with tone full innocent, even so Su She fumes in rage.

He hates it! This is what he hate about the entitled people! They are so full of themselves that they never recognised someone as talented as him.

Again he screams various curses towards the siblings atop of his lungs, he struggle on the vines of resentful spirits, yet could't free himself. He could only scream in rage.

"Can you just shut up, your voice is so annoying as your pride."

The new voice coming from behind has made everyone's eyes widen in shock, Lan Wangji turns his heels and tears stream down to his cheek. The news of his death brought despair in him, especially after hearing he was thrown helplessly into Burial Mounds. Lan Wangji's jaw dropped but there's no words that could come out as all the words he wanted to throw to the man approaching them were stuck on his throat, clogged by the overwhelming feelings for him.

The man stop in his tracks, he smirk and greeted Su She like a friend.

"Yo, I came back from hell."

"This cannot be real! I saw you fell in Burial Mounds! NO WAY IN FUCKING HELL YOU LIVE!!!"

Smirk, eyes were glistening thru the flames of the surroundings painting his eyes with color of fire, "Hell is on my side." Claims confidently.

"The fuck this is real! NO WAY! NO WAY! NO WAY! NO FUCKING WAY!!!"

Their ears were irated to his screams, "Oh just shut up!" With a snap of his fingers, Su She finally shut down, with this quick management of their team leader, the rest of the allied enemies were all gave up and behave.

Some Jiang disciples quickly take their Sect Leader from O Zhangyao, while the three siblings were quick on their feet and stand in front of their brother, bowing their heads with hands claps together.

"Welcome back Young Master Ying."

Wei Wuxian did not response, rather he stares at the three sect brothers of his, watching them with sharp serious eyes.

“Wei Ying!” It wasn’t loud but that gentle calming familiar voice of his lover snap Wei Wuxian that he quickly turn his attention to the white robed cultivator that is standing nearby.

Wei Wuxian’s eyes crystalized at the sight of his lover who has emotion on his face for the first time on their life, other than smiles that is only for him to see. Quick on his feet and completely forgotten everything right there Wei Wuxian dashed to him open arms, he was welcome with firm, tight embrace, and both encaged each other’s arms, having no intention to let go ever again.
