Broken BondsChapter 24

When Beitang Ao returned to Liuxiang, the sky was almost bright. Lin Yanyan fell asleep on the couch with her clothes. He took a look, got a quilt, gently covered her, turned around, and left the room again.

Some servants of Liuxiang got up and got busy one after another. Beitang Ao was absent-minded. After walking around the garden for a while, before he knew it, he came to the Bamboo Garden where Yan Feili lived. fdiQr5

He hesitated at first and then stepped in.

Ximei was transferred back to the Shenmei Courtyard, but she came here regularly to clean and tidy up.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Beitang Ao opened the door, and a chill came in. Looking at the cold room, Beitang Ao remembered the night of New Year’s Eve. He thought that the person who was unwell and came here to see him. Instead, he was in the presence of a shocking scene.

Yan Feili’s face was pale and his struggle to give birth reappeared in front of him. Beitang Ao couldn’t imagine what kind of pain a man experienced when giving birth to a child. In his philosophy, that was a woman’s business. xtd53D

It was natural for women to give birth to children. Even if it was harder, it was the responsibilities and obligations of talents for them. Men should not bear these obligations, men had things that men should do.

But now, Beitang Ao sat down next to the bed, remembering the entanglement with Yan Feili several times here.

What men should and shouldn’t do, what they can do and what they can’t do, they have done everything… Beitang Ao, for the first time, began to carefully examine their practices, words, and wrongs. What kind of emotions were they?

In the past, Yan Feili was just his subordinate, a general who opened up territory for himself and stabilized the military spirit.

Later, when the Ghost Forest incident happened, Yan Feili saved Beitang Ao using his body to cure the love potion… Things can be counted as equal. But the arrival of that child disrupted everything. Disrupted the balance he had worked so hard to maintain and changed his relationship with Yan Feili.

Although he tried his best to bring the relationship back to the original point, he failed. After the child was taken away and everything was covered up, there was still something different between him and Yan Feili. Yan Feili wanted to leave him. And when he learned about this, he was going crazy.

Was Yan Feili going to abandon his vows back then? Does he still consider Beitang Ao the Master of their Sect? But Dongfang Xi’s words woke him up like a basin of cold water, making him startled and angry.

He was poisoned and addicted.

Although the inherent arrogance made him reluctant to admit it, he still fell in love with Yan Feili. But that was just physical attraction. When Yan Feili said he was leaving, Beitang Ao breathed a sigh of relief. He did not object and let Yan Fei leave just like that.

According to the plan, he and Lin Yanyan became relatives. He thought the newlywed wife could make him forget everything, but things got out of his control again because he always unconsciously thought of Yan Feili. This made him very unhappy, he didn’t like this feeling.

He took over as the youngest sect master at the age of twelve, everything was under his control. He liked the feeling that for everything he had the final say, and he liked everything to be done according to his plan. Vou4ei

For the first time, he had no control over something, that being the child and himself.

Beitang Ao sent the child away and severed the relationship with Yan Feili. At first, he thought that the child was his eldest son, after all, so he would visit him occasionally. Later, the more he visited, the better and the more adorable the child became. Whenever he saw the little man with his flesh and blood, the pride of being a father rushed into his heart. He had gradually fallen in love with that child.

But the person who gave birth to the child was full of complicated feelings. His shadow was also on the child’s body, especially those dark and bright eyes like a spotted deer. They were the same as that person. One can’t miss it.

When the person knelt in the snow and begged him to return the child, he refused because he was full of unexpected disgust with the whole thing. He didn’t want to let anything out of his control. He wanted to solve it in the best way. dLSgYz

Even now, he believed he was right.

Yet he didn’t know when he changed, he knew he was shaken. He was in love with both the person and the child. He became angry rather than disgusted. If it was someone else, he would only think it was an insult to him and would kill that person with one sword without hesitation.

In contrast, with Yan Feili, after he was angry, he would have a strange idea that if Yan Feili was a woman, he would marry him.

Beitang Ao shook his head. Yan Feili was not a woman. Even if he gave birth to a child, he could not get rid of the fact that he was a man. It was impossible, Beitang Ao couldn’t marry him or be with him. CaQj4T

He cast aside his distracting thoughts and returned to Shenmei Courtyard, where he was again the master of Tianmen and Lin Yanyan’s husband.

Two days later, Beitang Ao received a secret report from a messenger pigeon that surprised him. He went to Nangong Yan, waited for his schedule, and rushed to the southwest battlefield.

Painful! My body hurts, and my heart hurts too! Yan Feili’s whole body was vain and floating, and his body didn’t seem to belong to him anymore.

Countless illusions continued to pounce on him in his dreams. Either the old beggar took him and Liu Qidianpei away from the lifestyle of begging in the streets, the Sect Master caught him and threw him on horseback to escape, or he took his brothers to the battlefield to survive. AP283j

In the end, all the illusions were condensed under the silver moonlight where the cold and proud face of the white-clothed boy stood. The boy’s expression changed, becoming more blurred, more distant, more hesitated, and suddenly a baby’s cry sounded in his ear.

The child is crying! My child is crying! Yan Feili stretched his hands in the air but couldn’t catch anything.

“General Yan? General Yan?” Qiu Yeyuan’s vague voice came from a distant place. Yan Feili opened his eyes in confusion but didn’t know who was in front of him. He just grabbed his arm and said before passing out again, “Let me see my child?”

When Beitang Ao arrived, he saw Yan Feili and asked in shock, “How could this be?” tOl2kZ

In the big tent, there were only Qiu Yeyuan and Ling Qing. Yan Feili has been in a coma since that day after the war.

Occasionally, when he woke up, he lost focus and didn’t recognize people at all.

“Sect Master Beitang Ao, the general suffered from the root cause of the disease after giving birth, and his body was not healed. His blood was weak and he was no longer suitable for conceiving.”

Looking at Beitang’s face, Qiu Yeyuan continued, “But he got pregnant again a little more than three months after giving birth. He was still on the battlefield and he was so exhausted a miscarriage occurred. His body is in pain, and after his high fever has subsided, he is still unconscious. If this continues, I am afraid…I am afraid…” OvKHkA

“What are you afraid of?” Beitang Ao asked in a deep voice.

Qiu Yeyuan’s face was aching and he whispered in a low voice, “I’m afraid there will be more misfortunes.”

Beitang Ao sat next to the bed, looking at Yan Feili’s pale and sullen cheeks. Something stuck in his heart, making him unspeakably uncomfortable.

Qiu Yeyuan had already retreated, leaving the North Gate with Yan Feili. ECdo41

Ling Qing stepped forward in a kneeling position and said, “Doctor Qiu said the general has not been sober. I’m afraid I may have a hand in the miscarriage… After seeing that the general’s situation was bad, this subordinate sent a letter to the Sect Master in secret. This subordinate failed to complete what the Sect Master was waiting for.”

Beitang Ao slapped him severely with his backhand, “Failure to protect the general is the second crime.”

The unfavorable work meant that the task Beitang Ao gave him was to be optimistic about Yan Feili and he did not do it. The unfavorable protector meant that Beitang Ao assigned him to Yan Feili, his master, and he did not fulfill his responsibility to protect the master.

Ling Qing received two palms, snorted, and shook his body twice with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, but immediately bowed his head to the ground motionless. o5XpfV

“This subordinate was negligent, please Sect Master give a punishment.”

“Of course I will punish you, but not now. If it wasn’t for your negligence, why would the general lie here now? Why would I put down military affairs and run here?”

Beitang Ao said coldly and proudly, “I will write down your account first. If the general is not well, you can’t escape the blame!”

“Yes.” kvjyzJ

“Leave for now.” The North Gate turned his head to no longer see him.

Ling Qing endured the pain in his chest and withdrew.
