CHAPTER 309: Losing Badly (2)
The next round immediately started once she recovered.
"yu yue, hope you won't take it to heart but I won't go easy on you. Mother would send us back to the punishment hall if we lose." ming yu hua grinned, she has no intention of going back to that place ever again.
Yu yue was extremely guilty, after three months of not seeing her sisters. She just accidentally found out that they were punished because they brought her here a few days ago.
"you do realize that you brought so many people with you here, they followed you because they have faith in you. If you can't even protect yourself then what right do you have to involve them in our matters?" yu changlu said softly as her eyes landed on little fatty and the others rooting for her.
"mother…" yu yue was stunned dumbfounded, she thought her mother was still insistent on sending her back. She never thought she was just worried for them.
"we will talk later; your sister is waiting" she smiled comfortingly at her.
She looks back at her friends and saw their encouraging smiles, they didn't hear her mother's words just now so they didn't know what they were talking about.
She didn't think that way before, they have faith and high hopes for her. She put them in danger without even realizing it, she was just afraid to be alone once again in this lifetime so she couldn't bear to part with them. She hasn't thought how they left their clans just to follow her here.
Determination flashed in yu yue's eyes as she unclenched her hands, she would go through the hardships and defeat whoever stands in her way.
After looking at her friends encouraging faces she smiled at them and charge at ming yu hua. Although her mother's methods were unscrupulous, she could finally understand where she's coming from.
"I'm so sorry second sister but it seems like you're so going back there" she curled her lips with a beautiful smile. Her mood was light and her strikes were full of momentum.
"that's the spirit hahaha" ming yu hua also chuckled as she parried her blows.
The two of them exchange moves with bare hands. Ming yu hua wasn't gentle to begin with so yu yue started having bruises after bruises. She wasn't aiming to win in this round given her lower cultivation, she just wants to fight with everything she has.
She would show them her determination; she wouldn't be deterred by the responsibilities she would face from now on. She finally understood the concept of this test, it was not meant to be won. They just want to see her determination and courage to face the unknown.
Ming tai yang teared up seeing his daughters all grown up. The ming clansmen have smiles on their faces, even the two who's fighting with swollen faces were also smiling.
"thud!" with a thud yu yue's body staggered and collapse on the ground. She didn't win but she was happy.
"that's enough, you pass the test. Meet me once you feel better in the ancestral hall" patriarch ming jian spoke with a smile as they all went back to do their own business.
Yu changlu personally nursed yu yue's wounds that night. She finally smiled and showed her soft side.
"mother, you aren't angry anymore?" she couldn't help but asked.
"silly! I'm just happy that you're filial. I wasn't really angry that you all came here; I was happy instead. Besides, I'm also a parent, I just can't imagine how their parents would feel if something would happen to their children. I have observed them and they are all good children, you should treat them well" she spoke as she caressed her head.
"mnnn, they're my friends after all. Besides, they were always by my side through thick and thin" she said warmly.
