A Piercing Pain

Yun Yang was hiding underneath the snow, trying his hardest to suppress his emotions and warned himself over and over again.

"Mr. Nian! The person outside is really Mr. Nian!"

"That man standing outside is my nemesis! I have to persevere, survive this battle! I must not give up until the moment I kill him!"

"Otherwise, I will never rest in peace. Not only will I die in restlessness, my brothers and family won't rest in peace as well!"

"If I were to give up, how can this boundless debt of blood and colossal grudges be resolved?"

"No matter how he infuriates or provokes me, I have to carry on."

"I must press ahead!"

"I can't die!"

"I must not die!"

Yun Yang repeated it like a mantra, and his emotions eventually cooled down again.

Mr. Nian had no idea that his mind game, which he thought had managed to cast doubt on his enemy, had instead become Yun Yang's source of stability.
