Rewind

Chapter 3

Wen Rouhan did not know how his second son had truly died, and soon he found out just what a horrific and horrible death he had died. Since they had found themselves back, Wen Choa had not stopped screaming, nor was he in his right mind even though Wen Zhuliu was not the same. His eldest Wen Xu was no better, and in the end, he sent some disciples to fetched his niece.

Upon their return, he received more bad news. His niece was indisposed and had been kept in a coma since she had woken up. He could not help but feel guilty. Because of him and his desire for power, he had led his whole family and sect towards destruction and led to them all being wiped put and oblivirated from the whole Jianghu. He did what he never thought he would ever be able to do.

He killed his own blood and sons because he could not see them suffer anymore, nor could he listen to their screams of pain and horror anymore. It is as if they are reliving their deaths over and over again. The day he buried his sons tears of pain and regret left his eyes, and his heart broke into a million pieces as he stood by their graves. He had no desire to seek revenge or even to collect the iron pieces and bring destruction and death to the whole cultivation world.

He had become half of the man he was before he came back. The loss of his two sons this time brought him more pain because it was at his own hands, and after their funerals, he went into seclusion leaving the sect in the hands of the Wen elders to run and do as they please. Wen Zhuliu had left to roam the world outside that of the cultivation world and found himself a piece of heaven on a deserted beach front where he lived his days out in peace.

Wen Ning did not know what to do anymore where his sisters health was concerned. He knew that she was a strong young woman who had been through so much and had to face so much difficulty in her life, but what had happened during their none existence trail and the deaths of their families and that of his sister had left its mark on her and as her own death were so brutal and painful he can understand that no human being could walk away from that unscathered and it had left its mark on her.

He had done all he could to protect his family this time around. The first thing he did was to erect a barrier around their small little village just as he saw Wuxian did. He may not be as powerful, as he was before, but he had his golden core and had worked hard to make it stronger, and his efforts had paid off. So, the barrier was strong enough to withstand any attack. If one of the sects decided to come after them, then at least his family would be safe.

A-Yuan still asked them every day when he would be able to see his baba and a-die, and they would always tell him soon. He does not know for how long they will be able to pacify him with those answers he hope and pray every day that the two would arrive soon or even just one of them he does not even mind which one as long as it meant that A-Yuan won't stare longingly at the entrance to their village.

Wen Ning did what he could with the knowledge he had, and he made sure that he was the only one who would go out to buy things that might be needed. As of yet, his family did not have a problem with that, but he does not know for how long it would last. He would continue to do what he think is best for them. He had heard that the Lan and Jiang sect had sent disciples to the burial mounds in search of the two young masters but the place was empty, and they were nowhere to be found.

He could not help but feel satisfied and happy when he heard the stories. He does not know where they are, but he is just glad that they are not where he had also thought that they would be. He could not help but smile to himself when he heard the other story. That the two had not come back if only they knew that they had. He himself was mystified at why the two had not shown themselves to the cultivation world or if they had left it behind and went on to find their own place out there and are happy at last.
