Broken Bonds

Chapter 65

“Sect Master, I will leave. In the future, Li’er, please take good care of him.”

“You don’t need to say that.” 

“I know the Sect Master loves him very much.” Yan Feili smiled with a hint of fatigue in color. There was a hint of helplessness. “Where is Madam…”

Beitang Ao understood what he meant, “Don’t worry about that. Yanyan is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She is very contained in her actions. She may treat Hui’er better, but she will never treat Li’er badly.”

“I believe it.” Yan Feili lowered his head and looked at Li’er and said, “I believe she would be a good mother…”

He already knew that when he saw Li’er being quiet and curious in her arms that day. This woman may not love his child very much, but she was the best candidate to be the mother of Beitang Ao’s children because she had something in her body that he lacked. That was exactly what a true mother should possess, a kind of maternity. 

Yan Feili may never acquire that kind of thing was for a lifetime because he was an orphan even when he had a vague desire for that kind of thing. Now, he also felt that desire for his child. For him, that was something that can give them peace of mind. Although Lin Yanyan was not the child’s biological mother, she can give him what a man cannot give him. Maybe for Li’er, this was for the best.

Beitang Ao felt a little uneasy, feeling that Yan Fei’s attitude was a bit strange. However, he felt that maybe Yan Feili was sensitive, after all, he transferred him away and made him leave Jianjing and leave the child. Yan Feili was uncomfortable which Beitang Ao had expected.

Yan Feili smiled and said softly, “Sect Master, I will leave. In the future, you take care.”

“Feili, you… You also pay attention to your body.” Beitang Ao wanted to say something but these were the only words that came out.

“I see.” Yan Feili made a serious expression and bowed before him, “This subordinate worships the Sect Master.”

Beitang Ao was stunned. Since they returned from Huacheng, the two of them have only been this formal in front of outsiders. At this moment, Yan Feili suddenly called himself a subordinate and made Beitang Ao a little uncomfortable. 

“Get up.”

Yan Feili got up, smiled, took a deep look at him, and turned away. The green robe was lifted, and a light breeze was set off and faded away.

Beitang Ao frowned, staring at Yan Feili’s figure intently that disappeared out of the Shenmei Courtyard. As if a movement had broken his heart, he rushed into the gurgling cold wind. He stretched out his hand blankly, always feeling… Grasping…  I can’t help him… 

A bad omen emerged in Beitang Ao’s heart. 

When love is cold, the snow begins to melt.

Yan Feili separated from each other with his thin baggage. He did not go to the southern branch or any branch of the Tianmen. And just like this, Yan Feili disappeared.

Ten days later, Beitang Ao got the news. The teacup in his hand fell to the ground and the tea stains stained his white clothes, but he didn’t seem to notice anything.

“Sect Master, the general’s whereabouts are unknown now. I don’t know if there was an accident, so this subordinate will send someone to look for him.” Vice General Shen kneeled before the case and reported. 

After a long silence, the clear and cold voice came, “No, no need to find…”

Vice General Shen raised his head in amazement, looking at the Sect Master’s empty indifference. Beitang Ao stood up and walked to the window, looking at the spring color that gradually covering the courtyard. He said faintly, “From today, you will be promoted to the first general in my gate.”

“Then, General Yan…?”

“… In three months, if each branch has not heard from him, the name ‘Yan Feili’ will be deleted from the Tianmen roster.” 

Vice General Shen was startled and wanted to ask, but he saw the Sect Master in front of the window. The side cheeks were calm and beautiful, with deep loneliness, solemn face, and overwhelming. When he reached his lips, he couldn’t help but swallowed back abruptly and replied softly, “Yes.”

Then he retired.

The Sect Master clenched his fists tightly with slender and round nails embedded in the palms. Beitang Ao closed his eyes and breathed. A long time passed before he opened his eyes again, and there was a cold and firm color in his eyes.

Since you want to go, I will let you go! Because time will tell me everything! If one day, I get the answer, then, no matter where you hide―even at the edge of the world, I will not let you go!  

Beitang Ao was proud and cheerful, let go of his clenched hands, and smiled softly. Three years. Just three years. Three years is enough time for us to think things clearly…
