🎎 Chapter Twelve 🎎
Zhang chuan paused the moment he sniff in a sweat smell he flew back few steps away jumping upright towards his wife casting a barrier shade
around both himself and Zhang mi
leaving the rest utterly baffled and startled but we're smart enough in doing the same
Ning being upright had rushed up to the unconscious Zhang wei while shading himself and his brother
The look of mocking turned into something more like threat the moment the elders realized what was happening
" you're a fu "
Elder mi pointed coughing blood his eyes narrow at his hands which was now marked with black veins
" puppet poison !!! "
with that he quickly sat legs crossed while forcing the poison out so did every elders who notice quickly
But unfortunately the maids ,servent even some low ranked knights were quickly affected their pupils darken as they stood blankly
" so my suspicious was right "
Zhang chaun laughed but yet his voice were like cutting edge watching her figure rush out before disappearing like the wind leaving nothing but the linger smell of poison and blood
main while Zhang wei still unconscious found himself standing at a bridge the strange place was white and vold and the only lead was the bridge which stretch endlessly
" where am I ? "
He asked himself calmly but he still took each step forward the more he went the more light his body felt
what felt like a endless bridge of white and emptiness cease the moment he heard a baby loud cry
" huh !!! "
Zhang wei found himself standing searching before spotting a cradle itches from behind where he stood
" who left a baby here ? "
He wondered approaching silently but soon halt the moment it wasn't a real baby but an energy core floating midair
What attracted him was the three (red , purple and black ) colors split each in their sides
Zhang wei observed closely in awe but frowned upon realizing how much time he had wasted just standing
Something was calling him to follow the path which stretch endlessly but a question soon pop out in his mind
" what await him on the other side ? "
Zhang wei shut both eyes tired and depressed from the day misfortune that had before him
but now he was simply trapped with only one path
" great "
He murmur under his breath only to felt a strange wave of Energy blanding into his skin something different and old
His eyes snap open as old memories sealed somewhere deep rush into his mind
" mother !! "
He mouthed in disbelief the memories told a tale nobody knew something different but true
A Ji Ya his mom in this strange world wasn't who she seems to be
at least what this new found memories describe her to be
Zhang wei felt his mind finally opened with sad truths of what his mom did and the damages it had left sadly enough
( Flashback)
he wasn't always that weak his strength were pair with his sister's and his brother's
his mom being scared of Zhang wei sudden talents had sweetly deceive a child of ( 5 ) to slightly damaged his core sea which greatly damaged his foundation
and strangely her reason was simple A Ji Ya didn't Zhang wei to compete with his older brother for the title of heir
Though she wasn't the one who raised him she had see his talents and hard work from a distance
Her longing love over a child that she didn't raise made her blind over her child within her reach
Though her thinking and fear were baseless she still did it without any regret
Such actions resulted in him being sick and fragile not wanting Zhang wei to hate her and leave
she had sealed his memories of that dreadful day and had lied about his core sea being unstable teaching him a foundation which wasn't even worth noticing in the martial arts world
Her actions were cruel even to a child who understood nothing of the scheme to a title that wasn't even worth attention
And surprisedly it didn't end there at age 11 his mom noticed his talents in the art of swordplay and had took him straight to the fu clan leader who further poison his body yet again
Tang who finally noticed what was going on had tried talk sense into the woman
noticing Zhang wei sudden bedridden illness but she had defend herself spilling false truth
" Zhang wei will grow up to understand her care and worry and besides he won't be a threat to his siblings"
She said with a righteous stand ,Tang noticing how pale the young master was he understood zhang wei was dying slowly and finally reported to Zhang chaun who rush toward zhang wei courtyard
Zhang wei didn't remember much but he did know the clan leader had forcefully remove the poison by completely damaging half his core which was already contaminated with the puppet poison
Sealing his meridian through the process Tang knowing what might happen to A Ji Ya had pleaded receiving the punishment for her place
But unfortunately it didn't end there Tang had thought she might change if she wasn't allowed to see Ning but yet again he was wrong
At 12 A Ji Ya had tried killing Zhang wei it came like any other day the sudden news of Ning sudden illness came like a shock to A Ji Ya
And unfortunately there wasn't any cure to help Ning
Ning hopeless condition trigger something in her he could remember her pale complexion just waiting
Until one night A Ji Ya had can to him before taking him to the Ning manor
At first he was standing there lost in thought but suddenly weak
.
" Wei you have to give a little of your life to save your brother "
He remembered her words clearly
transferring his life span into The unconscious Ning was nothing but evil it's self
His hands shook at the dark memories which now hunt him
Zhang wei didn't understood why he had stabbed A Ji Ya maybe it was hate , anger or pain
But he could now clearly remember using A Ji Ya sword to stabbed her that night before the door slam open
Zhang wei could remember their very expression when they saw him holding the handle of the sword which went through his mom
The smell of incense couldn't even cover the smell as he listen to each drip from her blood
That night he was arrested and within the next day he heard of A Ji Ya passing
after few more days he was dragged out to the main hall for judgement only for them to watch him use the same sword to slice his throat
His hands slide down his scarless neck wondering how he survived
But that wasn't important than the memories he now knew
He had always wondered why everyone had hated A Ji Ya but now he knew of each evil that almost cost him his life
Gone were the fake happy memories he shared with his mom but strangely enough he couldn't bring himself to hate her nor Ning whom she was obsessed with after all he wasn't any person but a modern soul
He do understand right and wrong and wasn't going to go around causing revenge instead after knowing such bitter truth he rather lay low and live the best of his life
Unfortunately if the plot follow the original line then he was meant to die either way after all the only sole core
though damaged beyond repair it was still helping him and now that it was gone
He wondered if he even have a chance in waking up
