Chapter 57 On Bending Knees

Inside Dragon Inn, the ten brothers arrived at the door, and everyone was having a good time. The eight brothers were sitting at the table next to the Fang's table. Fang Weisheng and Fang Weimin sat with the Fang family.

Master Fang said happily, "Eat. Everyone eats. Today is a special day, and I'm very happy. The first is that the two of you performed well in the competition. The second is that our family eat together."

Fang Weisheng was still very angry and upset at Lee Dachin. He turned to look at his father and asked frantically, "Father, why do you want to stay with Uncle Lee instead of mother?"

Fang Yaoting, "It's none of your business."

Fang Weisheng said angrily, "He doesn't deserve your love."

Wang Shuchun said disappointedly, "Weisheng, don't talk to your father like that."

Fang Weisheng continued his madness, "If Uncle Lee loves you as he said, why can't I see him at any family gathering, he doesn't deserve to be a part of this family."

Fang Yaoting looked at Fang Weisheng angrily without speaking.

Fang Weimin, "Big brother, stop it. Father is angry now."

The eight brothers turned to look at the table to their right, seeing that Fang Weisheng refused to let go of his issue with Lee Dachin, and continued to question his doubts.

Fang Yaoting stood up, concentrated all his anger into the palm of his hand, and slammed his hand heavily on the table. The table shattered into pieces. Fang Yaoting said angrily to Fang Weisheng, "The apple is not far from the tree." He stared at Wang Shuchun and Master Fang. He looked at Fang Weimin coldly. "You pack up, leave Cloud City, and return to Capital City with your grandparents and your mother." Fang Yaoting walked out with the six Guozhao hunters.

Master Fang looked at Wang Shuchun and said, "Take them to their room."

Fang Weisheng and Fang Weimin were sitting on the bed inside Dragon Inn.

Fang Weimin looked at Fang Weisheng and said, "I already told you, don't say it anymore. Why don't you listen to me? Now father has kicked you out of Cloud City."

Fang Weisheng, "Why are everyone on Uncle Lee's side…even you? I'm not wrong."

Fang Weimin, "Uncle Lee already told us that there are some things that children should not be involved in. Why don't you listen to him?" He looked at Fang Weisheng madly. "How dare you yell at Uncle Lee?" He stood up and sat on the chair. "You even accused Uncle Lee of not loving us...no wonder senior brother was angry with you."

After knocking on the door lightly, Wang Shuchun walked in. She smiled at her two sons and said, "Why are you so impulsive?"

Fang Weisheng, "Mother, I am not wrong."

Wang Shuchun smiled and said, "You are not wrong, but your Uncle Lee is not wrong either. Some things are too complicated for children to understand."

Fang Weisheng, "Then make me understand."

Wang Shuchun, "It's not your Uncle Lee's fault that he can't attend the Fang family reunion or any other occasion." She sighed. "You two are old enough, it's time to tell you." She looked at her sons. "Your father never loved me or wanted to marry me. Your grandfather was the one who wanted your father to marry me."

Fang Weisheng looked at Wang Shuchun and asked, "You said father was forced to marry you?"

Wang Shuchun nodded, "Your Uncle and your father were in love before they met me. The two of them vowed to love each other until death do them part. Your father and grandfather also made an agreement. If I give birth to a son, your grandfather will Let your father marry your Uncle Lee."

Fang Weimin, "And."

Wang Shuchun, "After the two of you were born, your grandfather reneges the promise he made with your father. At that time, your grandfather asked your father to choose between your uncle and his family. If your father chooses your Uncle Lee, your grandfather will disown him, and he can never go back to the Fang's House. Your uncle decided to break up with your father, and your father was going to end his life, so your uncle swore in front of your grandfather and the Fang ancestors that he will never claim to be a part of the Fang family. As long as your grandfather doesn't separate the two of them, he won't take a single penny out of the Fang's pocket. Your grandfather told your Uncle Lee, never step into the Fang Mansion."

The twins were stunned when they heard Wang Shuchun's words.

Fang Weisheng recalled that on a cold winter day, his father and Lee Dachin came to visit them. His father entered the house, but Lee Dachin stood outside waiting for his father. On his mother's birthday, if his father came to visit, Lee Dachin would give her a gift and stand outside the Fang's resident until dinner was over, and then his father would leave with Lee Dachin.

Wang Shuchun said, "It's not right to say that your uncle is not worthy of your father's love. Your uncle Lee is the only person worthy of your father's love, because he only has love for your father." She sighed. "Your uncle Lee love your father so much that he buried his pride and dignity under his soles." She looked at her sons. She rubbed Fang Weisheng's head gently. "Wei'er, do you know that the Fang owes your uncle Lee a lot of debts and gratitude. I want you to know that when I was pregnant with you two, your uncle Lee took very good care of me. He never mistreated me in anyway. Only your uncle Lee can be so kind to his rival. I know I can't do it. I'm sure neither can you."

Fang Weisheng cried, "Mother, I'm wrong. I'm wrong."

Wang Shuchun, "If you know you're wrong, you need to apologize."

Fang Weisheng ran out of Dragon Inn and heading to his home. When he arrived at home, Fang Yaoting and Lee Dachin were still eating. He rushed to the table.

Fang Yaoting said madly, "Pack up and leave."

Fang Weisheng slowly fell on this knee. He knelt in front of Lee Dachin and cried, "I'm sorry, uncle Lee, I'm sorry. I'm wrong. You are right. There are some things that children should not be involved in."

Lee Dachin, "Get up. You were punished by Zhiqiang's whip, don't kneel for too long."

Fang Weisheng refused to get up, "I deserve it. I'm sorry, I spoke ill of you. Please don't forgive me, don't hate me."

Lee Dachin said, "You are my son and my family. I will never hate you."

Fang Weisheng refused to get up but instead he hugged Lee Dachin's around his waist and sobbed, "Uncle Lee… I'm so sorry, please help me beg father don't drive me out of Cloud City."

Lee Dachin smiled and patted gently on the back of Fang Weisheng's head. He said, "Stop crying, men would rather shed blood than tears. As long as I'm still here, no one can drive you out of Cloud City."

Guozhao Zhiqiang and Deming were sitting on the porch outside the bedroom. Deming watched Guozhao Zhiqiang hold a small wood carving tool and write something on the black beads on the bracelet.

Deming asked, "Zhiqiang, before your ex-lover interrupted us, you haven't answered my question." He paused for a moment. "What are you two talking about?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "By the way, he is not my lover. We didn't talk about important things."

Deming, "What about Teacher Lee?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang looked at Deming and sighed, "You won't let it go, will you?"

Deming said stubbornly, "I won't let it go unless you answer me."

Guozhao Zhiqiang asked, "My masters, my shimu, Teacher Lee are my family. If you and I swear to love each other until death do we part? If they tell me in front of you, if I choose you, I will forever can't return to Cloud City. They won't recognize me. What will you do?"

Deming, "I'll break up with you."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "If you break up with me and I would rather die, what will you do?"

Deming, "I'll live somewhere and never set foot in Cloud City. Maybe somewhere nearby so you can easily come back if you want to visit your family." Deming looked up sadly at Guozhao Zhiqiang because he realized that he had answered his own question. "So, that's what Teacher Lee meant when he said 'some things children shouldn't get involve'."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Master Fang and third master agreed that if Fang shimu give birth to a son, he will allow third master and teacher Lee to get marry publicly. The day after the twins were born, Master Fang broke his promise. Master Fang would not admit that Teacher Lee is part of the Fang family. Teacher Lee's love for the third master is too strong. He assured Master Fang that as long as Master Fang let him continue to love third master, he would never step into Fang's house. He will never claim to be a member of the Fang family. "

Deming murmured, "I wonder if anyone will love me like Master Fang loves Teacher Lee. To love me until death do we part."

Guozhao Zhiqiang, "Give me your left hand." Deming stretched out his left hand. Guozhao Zhiqiang put the bracelet on Deming's left wrist. He knelt on his bent knee, kissed Deming's left hand. "I, Guozhao Zhiqiang swear to heaven as long as I am still breathing, I will only love Deming. If I die, I will wait for you in the underworld until we meet again."

Deming asked, "Are you serious?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang stood up and said, "Death can't stop me from loving you." He pulled Deming's face closer and kissed him. After a while, the sound of fireworks made Guozhao Zhiqiang, and Deming stop kissing.

Deming complained, "When are you going to teach me how to summon you if I need you?"

Guozhao Zhiqiang held Deming's left hand, "I have engraved a binding rune on this bracelet, you don't need to pull the talisman, as long as you have this bracelet, you can use it. I will teach you a summoning spell tomorrow."

The two held hands and watched the fireworks. The last fireworks scattered across the night sky, and fireflies flew all over Peach Blossom Valley. Guozhao Zhiqiang pulled Deming into his embrace then kissed Deming again.
