Snippet:

Wei Ying collapsed under the harsh strikes of Zidian, gasping softly in pain as each rage filled strike hit his back and his legs. He did not whimper, nor did he beg. He was use to this. However, the burning pain in his legs was new. Then again, he's nowhere near recovered from having his legs broken and losing function after he was bit by the Xuanwu of Slaughter. He had only been awake for perhaps a week and change, the shock of trying to get up and run after Lan Zhan, who had left upon hearing his brother had gone missing and his father murdered, only to collapse when his legs suddenly began to ache horridly and yet at the same time was numb.

His sister had cried for him when he refused to allow himself to cry over the news that he was likely to never walk again and if by some miracle he did walk, there would be severe limitations. His life as a Cultivator was all but over with before he could truly begin to live it. His brother had berated him and told him he deserved this for always acting like the Hero. Normally, Wei Ying can see the hidden feelings in his brother's harsh words. But not this time. No, Jiang Chang truly meant it when he said Wei Ying deserved this. Especially, now as he is held between the twins Yinzhu and Jinzhu as Madam Yu whips him for the sick pleasure of Wang Lingjiao. A servant, who slept with her mistress's husband and thought herself was equal or even superior to those who are her betters.

The last Strike knocks him to the ground and Wang Lingjiao claps her hands gleefully as she stands up and was walks over to where he lays half collapsed. While she had hoped to hear him scream in agony as he is whipped, she would take pleasure in seeing the arrogant man trembling from the aftershocks of his whipping.

"Excellent! But this is not nearly enough! No, he threatened to break Young Master Wen's arm so I think it only fair that his hand is cut off as repayment!" She cackles shrilly as if she just told a hilarious joke. "Yes, that will be enough for my ChaoChao! And Lotus Pier will certainly make an excellent Supervisory Office!" She claps again her daintily painted nails flashing with their red varnish.

Madam Yu, who had grabbed a knife and was about to do as requested, froze and glared at the servant girl with narrowed eyes. Wei Ying knows what is about to happen and quickly forces himself to kowtow. He bites back the urge to vomit as he says the words that crawl up his throat like the foulest things:

"This one apologies to Wen er-gongzi and begs forgiveness." He says and the bitch gives another shrill laugh, skipping close to him and slapping him thrice just to humilate him further.

"Good... Now then-" she is cut off by a silencing spell as Wei Ying sits up and glared at her. His fingers draw three symbols in blood int he floor from his mouth and the wards he erected the day before lock and he sits up.

"What did you do!?"

"I'm saving your lives and keeping the Pier from burning... I told you before; the Wen's need no reason to attack. They just wanted any excuse in to attack a fellow Great Sect." He says as Yinzhu and Jinzhu dispatch the guards before they can alert those outside to anything and prevent flairs from sounding off. "I took precautions and set up a barrier that will hold as long as I am alive. So since my duty is to die for the Jiang: get out of here so my worthless life will finally be of use..."

"About time you realize this... Fine... Evacuate everyone and flee as soon as the Pier is abandoned. We can easily rebuild should they burn it down." Madam Yu sneers as she orders everyone around. Wang Lingjiao is taken hostage to ensure they can leave safely. Though most of the Pier had been warned beforehand by Wei Ying via his newly invented Message Fairies. So only the main residence needed to leave and all would be good.

"Again, playing the bloody hero..." Jiang Wanting sneers but Wei Ying does not raise tot he baiting. If he could not cultivate then let his sacrifice save the lives of those he cares for. Let his brother live, his beloved sister and even his uncle and the Madam. Let even her bitchy maids live long and happy lives. He cannot walk and would only slow them down so he might as well go out with a bang...
