Xiao Yu’er chortled, “Who would believe your words? Even if you want to bury them alive here, you can find someone else to activate the traps, why do you want to accompany them to their deaths here?”
Wei Wu Ya said calmly, “Because I want to see them die with my own eyes, see with my own eyes the pain they suffer before death. I also want to see with my own eyes when tortured with hunger and fear, can they still maintain their saintly composure!”
Xiao Yu’er took a glance at the Floral Princesses, and saw that the sisters seem to have suddenly turned into two stone statues, not moving at all. Xiao Yu’er rolled his eyes and suddenly laughed loudly, “But you will do that, because you know that you are not their match, or else you could have killed them while dueling, without a need to sacrifice yourself as well, right?”
Wei Wu Ya sighed, “That’s right, I had thought that these twenty years, my martial arts have improved a lot, enough to kill them, but until I met Jiang Bie He, I realized that I was wrong.”
Xiao Yu’er can’t help but feel startled, “Why must you wait until you see him before realizing that you’re wrong?”
Wei Wu Ya said, “Twenty years ago, Jiang Bie He’s martial arts were nothing at all, but now he can be considered one of the most highly skilled in the martial arts realm. Even his martial arts have improved so much these twenty years, much less the Floral Princesses. If the improvement of my martial arts is on the same pace of the Floral Princesses, then I will still be unable to defeat them even if I train for another twenty years. Besides, there are two of them, while there’s only one of me.”
He smiled, and continued, “That’s why I thought it over, and can only use this method.”
Xiao Yu’er said, “Since that is the case, it will still be very easy for them to kill you, you…”
Wei Wu Ya said icily, “These doors are all made from huge stones weighing ten thousand kilos, and not that it’s been sealed, I’m afraid even I won’t be able to open it myself.”
Xiao Yu’er was as still as a rock as well, unable to talk anymore.
Wei Wu Ya added, “Besides, even if you know that the doors have been sealed tight in here, you will still carry a glimmer of hope, and I am your only hope, so I take it that you will never kill me?”
He suddenly smiled, “Ying’er, why are you hiding outside, not daring to come in?”
Su Ying walked in with lowered head, her face frighteningly pale.
Wei Wu Ya stared at her for a long moment, then took a glance at the Floral Princesses and said, “I have always treated you well, do you know why?”
Su Ying lowered her head and replied, “I… I do not know.”
Wei Wu Ya smiled, “If you were to take a look at the two Princesses, and then look into a mirror yourself, you will know.”
Xiao Yu’er felt a lurch in his heart, and only now did he realize that besides the looks between Su Ying and the Floral Princesses, which bear a 70% similarity, they are all great beauties, their complexion so pale, their expression so cold, that they look like mother and daughter or sisters. Su Ying does not know whether to feel surprise or joy, and asked, “You treated me well, is it because you want me to grow up to be like them?”
Wei Wu Ya said, “That’s right, or else of all the orphaned girls in the world, why did I save only you? I have always acceded to all your wishes, because I want to groom you into someone haughty and cold. I want you to stay there alone, because I want to nurture isolation in your character…”
Su Ying asked, “You tried all ways and means, just to make me turn out exactly like them?”
Xiao Yu’er clapped and laughed, “Now I understand, so your beloved is the Floral Princesses, but because you cannot have them, so love turned into hatred, that’s why you hate them to the core.”
He is the world’s smartest ugly dwarf, but he would actually fall in love with the world’s most dignified, most beautiful women. This thing is really unimaginable, strangely wonderful.
The more Xiao Yu’er thought of it, the more he felt it funny, and he was laughing so hard that he was panting.
But Wei Wu Ya looked very serious and said slowly, “Twenty over years ago, I made a special trip to Floral Palace, to seek their hand in marriage…”
Xiao Yu’er panted and laughed, “You… you went to seek their hand in marriage?”
Wei Wu Ya said with a straight face, “This is the union of intelligence and beauty, it is the world’s most serious, most compatible thing, why are you laughing!”
Xiao Yu’er replied, “Yes, yes, yes. This matter is really the most compatible thing, but a pity that not only did they not agree, but they wanted to kill you as well, and that’s how your enmity started, right?”
Wei Wu Ya sighed, and although he did not say anything, his silence expressed his agreement.
Taking another look at the Floral Princesses, they were already shaking with anger.
Xiao Yu’er rolled his eyes and said with a grin, “It’s your honor that a great hero like him would come and seek your hand in marriage, why didn’t you agree to it? I feel that it’s really a pity.”
Wei Wu Ya laughed loudly, “You need not antagonize them to make them strike at me. Even if they killed me, you won’t stand to gain either. If you’re really smart, you should convince them not to kill me. When I cannot withstand the hunger myself, I may think of a way to open those sealed doors.”
Xiao Yu’er stared at him for a long moment before saying, “That’s right, you really do not have to die now. I still have a lot of questions for you.”
Wei Wu Ya said, “The first thing you want to ask me, is who exactly is the person who came earlier and could cut the stone chair? Is that right?”
Xiao Yu’er replied, “Wrong, there’s no need for me to ask you this now, because I understand now. No one came at all.”
Wei Wu Ya laughed loudly, “No one came at all? Then could it be me who left those footprints in the passageway?”
Xiao Yu’er said, “The footsteps on the passageway were carved by you, that’s why they are so neat.”
Wei Wu Ya’s eyes glimmered and asked, “Then who killed those people in the woods?”
Xiao Yu’er replied, “Naturally you killed them yourself. You slapped them, so naturally they dare not fight back or avoid the attack. If you want them to hang themselves, they won’t dare to jump into the river instead.”
Wei Wu Ya said, “So that means that the Jade Tablet Stone Chair was also cut by me?”
Xiao Yu’er said, “Since you can carve the Jade Tablet Stone into a chair, then you must possess a precious sword that can cut through metal like mud. Since this precious sword can be used to carve the Jade Tablet Stone into a chair, then it most certainly can cut it into halves… isn’t this logic very obvious?”
Wei Wu Ya sighed, “That’s right, this logic is really very obvious.”
Xiao Yu’er said, “You killed your disciples in the forest, and left those footprints on the passageway, solely to lure us in here.”
Wei Wu Ya replied, “This is very logical as well.”
Xiao Yu’er added, “But you’re afraid that once we walk in and realize there’s no one here, we’ll leave immediately, so you cut that stone chair into two to arouse our suspicious, and…”
He took a breath, and continued, “Since the doors here are all made from huge stones weighing a thousand kilos, to seal them up totally, is not something that can be done in an instant.”
Wei Wu Ya continued, “That’s why I want to put all of you to concentrate on that stone chair, so that I can have enough time to seal the door, right?”
Xiao Yu’er clasped his palms and answered, “Exactly the case.”
Wei Wu Ya suddenly laughed hard, so hard that he almost dropped to the ground from the wheelchair.
Xiao Yu’er stared at him, “What are you laughing about? Is my guess wrong?”
Wei Wu Ya laughed heartily, “Right, right, right, absolutely right, you’re really the smartest person in the world.”
Xiao Yu’er smiled, “As for this point, I am never modest about it.”
Wei Wu Ya said, “But I have some questions for you as well.”
Xiao Yu’er replied, “Oh?”
Wei Wu Ya said. “You have been to my place before, you should know that this place is full of treasures, but why is there none now?”
Xiao Yu’er was stunned for a moment, and said, “This… this is naturally because you told your disciples to take it out.”
Wei Wu Ya replied, “Why would I want them to take it away? Since I am determined to die here, why didn’t I die with the treasures here, but give them away. Since I have never treated my disciples as humans, why should I let them have this big reward… can you think of the reason why?”
Xiao Yu’er’s eyes suddenly gleamed, “Because you want to leave this place after seeing us die.”
Wei Wu Ya said, “If I have such intentions, then all the more I won’t take the treasures away, because if I really want to leave, I will surely have to wait for all of you to die first. Would I then be afraid that people like you who are about to die with take my treasures away?”
Only now was Xiao Yu’er truly stunned. “So this means that, there really was a highly skilled martial arts exponent who was here? Who was the person who came?”
Wei Wu Ya replied, “You know this person as well.”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “How do you know I know him?”
Wei Wu Ya said calmly, “Because he asked about you.”
The expression on Xiao Yu’er’s face changed, and he suddenly laughed loudly, “Don’t tell me you want to say that the person who came is Yan Nan Tian?”
Wei Wu Ya stared at him and said each word slowly, “That’s right! The person who came is Yan Nan Tian!”
Xiao Yu’er was stunned for a long moment, and suddenly chortled, “If Yan Nan Tian came, how can you still be alive now and harming others?”
Wei Wu Ya laughed icily, “Did you think that his martial arts is better than mine?”
Xiao Yu’er’s expression changed again, but in an instant he beamed instead and said, “If he was really here, the footsteps on the passageway would have been left by him, and the stone chair would naturally be cut by him using his precious sword. The might of this one stoke is enough to move heaven and earth. With your skills, I’m afraid you can’t even hurt a strand of hair of his… I know your capability.”
Wei Wu Ya was silent for a moment before heaving a long sigh, “That’s right, just with the power of his sword, it’s enough to rule the world, I really am not his match.”
Xiao Yu’er said, “If he was really here, why didn’t he kill you?”
Wei Wu Ya replied calmly, “Naturally because there was a bargain.”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “What bargain?”
Wei Wu Ya replied, “I promised to hand him one person, and he promised not to harm me.”
Xiao Yu’er pressed on, “Who did you promise to hand him?”
Wei Wu Ya replied, “Jiang Bie He!”
Xiao Yu’er was stunned yet again, and asked hoarsely, “Jiang Bie He? Hero Yan actually was willing to let you off because of Jiang Bie He?”
Wei Wu Ya affirmed, “That’s right.”
Siao Yu’er asked, “Why did he want to save Jiang Bie He?”
Wei Wu Ya laughed, “He did not want to save Jiang Bie He, but wants to kill him.”
Xiao Yu’er can’t help but feel surprised again, “What enmity does he have with Jiang Bie He?”
Wei Wu Ya was silent for a moment before saying calmly, “Do you know who Jiang Bie He really was?”
Xiao Yu’er asked, “Who?”
Wei Wu Ya replied, “He was originally your father’s page boy Jiang Qin, and grew up in your household. Your father and him were master and servant in name, but were actually like brothers.”
Xiao Yu’er was so surprised that his mouth gaped open, unable to close it at all. He can’t help but ask, “Since Jiang Qin and my late father were like brothers, why would Hero Yan want to kill him?”
Wei Wu Ya explained, “Not only was Jiang Feng one of the world’s rare handsome man, he is also extremely wealthy. Many in the martial arts world are already having designs on him, but because of Yan Nan Tian, they dared not strike. Who would have expected that Jiang Feng’s senses would suddenly be blinded and actually eloped with a female disciple of the Floral Palace, and this woman is your mother.”
Xiao Yu’er replied angrily, “You better be more courteous in your choice of words.”
Wei Wu Ya grinned and continued coolly, “Although these two were dizzily in love and were disregarding everything else, but they do know that the Floral Princess will not let them off, so once they escaped back, Jiang Feng either sold or gave his properties away! He himself just took some basic necessities and roamed the world, staying in hiding to avoid trouble.”
Xiao Yu’er fumed, “So stinking robbers like you became jealous.”
Wei Wu Ya replied, “That’s right. Jiang Feng’s plan was to let Jiang Qin ride on to look for Yan Nan Tian first, while he himself will bring your mother through an old abandoned passageway and hurry to meet up with Yan Nan Tian. This plan is not too bad actually, and the route he took was actually very well hidden, but a pity that before Jiang Qin went to look for Yan Nan Tian, he came to look for us, the Twelve Zodiacs first.”
Xiao Yu’er said wrathfully, “No wonder you are acquainted with Jiang Bie He, so it turns out that you were already in cahoots and dealt with each other before.”
Wei Wu Ya smiled and said, “Although I know about this, but I did not strike, because even if I do not strike, I am not afraid that the rest won’t give a portion to me after they succeed. Besides I had something on at that time and was unable to leave.”
Xiao Yu’er said, “Those who struck were killed by Hero Yan. They should have known what Hero Yan was like, why did they still strike?”
Wei Wu Ya replied, “They had the intention of pushing this blame to Floral Palace, and let Yan Nan Tian thinks that it was the Floral Princesses who struck. Besides, Jiang Qin has noted down all the possessions that your father carried with him. Such a huge business deal, why would the Twelve Zodiacs let it go?”
Xiao Yu’er gritted his teeth, “But Jiang Qin should know what the Twelve Zodiacs are like. Since this deal is now made with the Twelve Zodiacs, what else can he gain from this?”
Wei Wu Ya smiled, “He is not very greedy, he just wants 20% of the wealth. He also knows that we, the Twelve Zodiacs have always been fair in our deals, once we promise him a portion, we will never try to deny it. Besides, although your father treated him like his own brother, but in other people’s eyes, he’s still a servant in Jiang Feng’s household. If your father does not die, he can forget about being someone great for the rest of his life.”
He smiled slightly and continued, “Although this person is not very greedy, but he is extremely ambitious, with the sole intention of becoming famous in the martial arts realm, so he must kill your father first.”
Xiao Yu’er felt his hands and legs getting cold and was silent for a moment before saying, “But my father did not die in the hands of the Twelve Zodiacs ultimately, right?”
Wei Wu Ya replied, “What happened later, I’m not very sure about the details. I only know that when Yan Nan Tian got there, your parents are already dead, and only you were alive.”
Xiao Yu’er forced himself to contain the pain in his heart, and asked, “No matter who was the one who killed my parents, all these were caused by Jiang Qin. If he did not betray my father, these people will surely be unable to find them, right?”
Wei Wu Ya agreed, “Exactly.”
Xiao Yu’er said, “Since this is the case, why didn’t Hero Yan kill him at that time?”
Wei Wu Ya explained, “I’m afraid Yan Nan Tian did not know at that time that Jiang Qin is the root of the tragedy. By the time he found out, Jiang Qin has escaped. From then on, no one has ever heard any news about Jiang Qin in the martial arts realm, and no one has ever heard of any news about Yan Nan Tian. Only later did I hear that Yan Nan Tian has died in the Valley of Evil.”
He sighed again and said with a bitter smile, “Who would have expected that this piece of news is bullshit. Not only did Yan Nan Tian did not die, but his martial arts improved tremendously. And that Jiang Qin actually became the Hero of Jiang Nan.”
Xiao Yu’er was silent for a moment. He really cannot think of why Yan Nan Tian would suddenly appear? How can his injuries have healed suddenly? Could it be that some miracle has happened? Or is there another ‘Hero Nan Tian’ like Lu Zhong Yuan, who borrowed the name ‘Yan Nan Tian’? Who can this person be?
