Yuntai Mountain.
The brothers were still earnestly persuading Tang Si to turn back from the brink, but he had already made up his mind and had no intention of doing so.
Lu Yanming found a soft cushion and sat opposite Tang Si. "Mu Ye is currently facing enemies on all sides and desperately needs our help. How can you have the nerve to abandon us at a time like this?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Han Yu, who was standing nearby, and exchanged a meaningful look with him.
Han Yu, understanding, immediately nodded. "That's right. Second Brother has offended the Black Hand Gang and is constantly being retaliated against. His biological father is also making things difficult for him, and Qing Sihuai might have allied with Anthony's third brother to plot against Second Brother. He's surrounded by enemies, trapped with no way forward or back. As brothers, can you really just turn a blind eye?"
The two were using Qing Muye as a pretext to persuade Tang Si.
After speaking, their gazes fell on the silent Qing Muye.
Qing Muye frowned, his brow furrowed as he said to Tang Si, "They're right. You know, after the trip to the Hidden Clan, I suffered 'heavy losses' and am no match for them right now. If... if you don't come back to help me, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can hold a memorial service for me."
He made himself sound pitiful, all to align with the words Han Yu and Lu Yanming had just spoken.
"Yes, yes, that's exactly the situation," Lu Yanming agreed.
Han Yu sighed deeply. "Alas, when I think about losing two brothers in the future, I feel like life is meaningless."
Losing two brothers?
Lu Yanming and Qing Muye shot him sharp glances, their eyes brimming with murderous intent. They seemed to be scolding him for being a jinx.
Han Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and he awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, casting a sidelong glance at Tang Si, who was sitting cross-legged. His look seemed to be a silent explanation: Don't take it seriously, I'm just saying it for him to hear.
As expected, Tang Si's lowered gaze slowly shifted, landing on Qing Muye. He pulled at the corner of his lips, as if about to say something.
"Second Brother, I'm sorry." Besides 'sorry,' he genuinely didn't know what else to say.
"Sorry?"
Lu Yanming suddenly exploded, reaching up to loosen the collar of his tight sweater. "I've said so much to this silent guy, and all I get is an apology from you? We've known each other for years, and you're a complete emotional coward! Whether it's Zhao Wuyan or Shi Ran, they're just women. We are your brothers. Brothers are like limbs; have you ever considered our feelings?"
He became more agitated as he spoke, and in his anger, he kicked Tang Si.
Qing Muye reached out to pull Lu Yanming away but was a step too late.
Tang Si was knocked to the ground by Lu Yanming's kick, but he showed no anger or annoyance. He calmly reached out, braced himself on the cold floor, and sat up again, continuing to read the sutra in his hands.
"Big Brother, don't get too worked up." Han Yu walked over to Lu Yanming nervously, fearing that if he didn't intervene a little, Lu Yanming would beat Tang Si again later.
"Si Bing? Si Bing!?"
Suddenly.
A woman's voice echoed from outside.
The few of them looked outside and saw a group of people walking in. The woman at the front was running.
It was Zhao Wuyan.
Upon seeing Zhao Wuyan, the expressions of the three men simultaneously turned serious.
Zhao Wuyan, wearing a thick down jacket and clutching her abdomen, ran in. Seeing Tang Si kneeling on the ground in a monk's robe, she directly went around to him and knelt down, pulling Tang Si into her arms. "Wuwu... Si Bing, why are you doing this? If you become a monk, what about me? Wuwu... What about our child?"
She had never imagined that Tang Si would want to become a monk.
Why become a monk?
Was he trying to escape his marriage to her?
