Chapter 3342 — Revenge or Not
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"That's right. I grew up over there as a child." At this point, Yu Dake sighed softly, recalling the events of those years with a touch of wistfulness. Back then, he had been the young master of a cultivation family. The family could not be called especially large, but it was at least stronger than the current hidden families, and could even stand shoulder to shoulder with the ancient families.
It was only because they had offended a certain group of people that his entire family had been exterminated! Fortunately, at the time, Yu Dake had been out playing while carrying his little sister and had not been at home, and so escaped the calamity. But when he returned home carrying his sleeping sister, he saw with his own eyes, from afar, that group of people cutting down his parents, his family, his uncles, his brothers and sisters—every last one of them, sparing none!
The Yu Dake of that time was filled with indignation, yet also profoundly helpless. He clenched his fists tight, but did not dare make the slightest move. Though he longed to rush over and stop these people's atrocities, he also knew that with his own meager strength, he was utterly incapable of stopping them.
He was nothing but a child who had just begun to set foot in cultivation, barely old enough to understand the world—how could he contend with such people? So all he could do was memorize their faces and bury that hatred deep in his heart.
In those years, he had secretly sworn that one day he would have his revenge. But as he grew older, Yu Dake came to understand one truth deeply: his own strength was simply far too meager!
After all these years, he was still merely an Earth-rank expert, and his achievement amounted to no more than being a guest retainer of the hidden You family. He was not even as powerful as an ordinary secular family. With only this, how was he to take revenge? For all these years, he had not even known who his enemies were, let alone how to seek revenge.
People sometimes have no choice but to face reality. When one's abilities are severely lacking, one can only abandon certain notions in one's heart. That was once the case for Yu Dake. He knew that if he kept muddling along in the You family, he might never be able to take revenge in his lifetime—and that was also why, when he had been gravely injured back then, he had wanted to kill himself.
But after he met Wei Zhao, hope was reignited! If the rumors in the martial world over this period were true—that Wei Zhao could instantly kill an expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank—then Wei Zhao stood at the very summit of the entire cultivation world. Even a great-perfection expert would not dare boast that he could instantly kill an expert at the peak of the late Heaven rank in one blow!
Still, Yu Dake also knew that Wei Zhao regarded him merely as an ordinary friend on fairly good terms—and that only because of Yu Xiaoke. Otherwise, he and Wei Zhao would likely have had little to do with each other.
So, deep in Yu Dake's heart, he actually leaned toward letting Yu Xiaoke stay with Wei Zhao. For one thing, Wei Zhao was the savior of their family; for another, Wei Zhao had the power to avenge their family.
But the key problem was that his sister did not like Wei Zhao! (To be continued)
