Chapter 303 – Blue Wind Palace Chief
“Ah! Junior Brother Yun… What are you doing! Why are your injuring yourself!”
Yun Che’s actions caused the color to drain instantly from Cang Yue’s face. Watching beads of blood trickle rapidly from beneath the blade, she panicked, and her heart ached even more that she was at a loss for what to do. Throughout the process, Yun Che’s complexion had not changed. Looking at Cang Yue, he said softly, “Watching me suddenly get stabbed, your heart must ache so, doesn’t it? It hurts just like how I do when I see you getting married.”
Cang Yue shook her head vigorously, crying out in pain, “No… It’s really not like what you’re seeing! I had absolutely no intention to marry him, I just… I just…”
Yun Che shook his head, saying, “I understand. The reason why my heart is hurting, isn’t just because of these, it’s because I know, even if I were really dead, the only one in Senior Sister’s heart is me. My heart hurts because you would go so far as to cheapen yourself, harm yourself this way… It hurts just like how I’ve just stabbed myself!”
“I… I…”
“This cut, I want to let you know of the pain in my heart… At the same time, it is the punishment I deserve. I had clearly made you a promise, but when you were most helpless, when you needed me most, I couldn’t be by your side, and I caused you to have to hurt yourself in this way to attempt at rescuing your father… Just a little more, and I would have lost you forever…”
Just before Cang Yue was escorted into the Burning Heaven Clan, she would’ve used the poisoned dagger to end her own life. If Yun Che had returned by even a day late, he would’ve never had the chance to see her again
Yun Che pulled out the poisoned dagger that had been thrust into his chest, throwing it onto the ground far away. The flow of blood from the wound had also stopped completely in a split second. He lifted his hand and gently wiped the tears away from Cang Yue’s face. Finally, unable to keep his calm, his voice turned incomparably tender. His longing and worry for her during his absence poured forth from his gaze, his voice as he lamented, “Senior Sister… Let me hug you properly… is that okay?”
“Uu…” Cang Yue teared up and sobbed, throwing herself with full force into Yun Che’s embrace. Winding her arms tightly around him, she hugged him tight, crying aloud. All the misery, longing, despair, hesitation and fear that the past year had brought her… She unburdened herself of all these in Yun Che’s arms, and her heart-wrenching sobs made the insides of the onlookers twist as well.
Yun Che also hugged her tight, yet he didn’t cry. Rather, he smiled in immense satisfaction and elation. He was glad he could return in time, and had not allowed what could never been undone to happen. Otherwise, he didn’t know how he would’ve faced that sort of terrifying consequence. He patted Cang Yue’s back lightly, saying gently, “Senior Sister… In future, no matter what happens, never again do anything that would hurt yourself, okay?”
“Uu… uuuu… Never… I’ll never do it again…” Cang Yue sobbed while saying.
“And don’t marry Fen Juecheng, alright?” Yun Che smiled lightly as he spoke.
“I… I won’t marry… I’ll never marry him, ever… The only one I want to marry is you… Other than you, I don’t want to marry anyone else… I’ll never marry even if it kills me…”
Yun Che’s lips curved up a little, “I’m back, so leave everything to me… Are you willing to trust in me… This man you’ve chosen with your entire life?”
