Chapter 34

Wang Chen's recovery was surprisingly fast, leaving everyone amazed. Just two days later, he was basically fine, which left everyone with their jaws dropped!

"Bro, are we leaving this time?" Under the thick night, outside the small wooden house, Wang Chen and Wang Yan leaned against the big tree, enjoying the rare leisure.

"We'll leave in a few days!" Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said solemnly.

Hearing Wang Yan's words, a hint of melancholy appeared on Wang Chen's face. He took a deep breath and said, "Do you remember how we used to watch the stars under the big tree in the backyard?"

"You were still so young back then!" Wang Yan turned his head and looked deeply at Wang Chen, smiling.

It seemed as if he was reminiscing about the days when the Wang family was still standing strong.

"Xiao Chen, come back and rest early. Your health is not good!" Wang Lin's voice from behind broke the silence.

"Yan, you should also check on Xiao Chen's health. You just recovered, can you move around so much? How can you be a good brother! If your father were still here, he would beat you for letting Xiao Chen's injuries worsen!" She then complained to Wang Yan.

In response, Wang Yan just smiled foolishly and nodded repeatedly, agreeing. At this moment, Wang Yan was just a simple, big guy, nothing like the domineering and invincible figure he had been in front of the Han family!

Seeing his brother like this, Wang Chen felt a wave of discomfort, his heart aching.

From a young age, his elder brother had always been one of the best in the Wang family. At the age of fifteen, he had already reached the ninth stage of Body Tempering, far surpassing the current genius of the Han family, Han Yuxuan. Back then, he was truly remarkable!

He should have been pampered and adored, but he never enjoyed any of it. He always played the role of a protector. To outsiders, he was just a simpleton, not very smart, so he was not well-liked by the clan!

From a young age, whenever there was something good, it was always given to him. The delicious food and fun toys were all his, while he just watched with a happy smile, sometimes even swallowing his saliva. Then he would continue to smile happily!

The most common thing his father and the elders would say to him was, "Protect your brother. If anything happens to him, you won't be enough to make up for it!"

Whenever this happened, Wang Yan would smile foolishly, pat his not yet muscular chest, and promise to protect Wang Chen. At that time, Wang Yan was only fifteen, without the carefree childhood that most children enjoy, but with a heavy burden on his shoulders.

In fact, he did just that, even on the day the family was about to be destroyed, Wang Yan still did the same!

When his father and aunt were discussing the plan, both he and his elder brother were present!

Those words are still etched in Wang Chen's memory: "Xiao Yan, we will stay behind and let Xiao Chen go. We will cover for him. Remember, you can die, but Xiao Chen cannot. Even if you have to die, you must use your body to shield him and let him escape. Do you understand?"

Wang Yan was right there, and upon hearing this, he only showed a serious expression. Then, as usual, he patted his chest and smiled, "Okay, even if I die, I will let Xiao Chen escape!"

His answer was simple and resolute!

He had no complaints, and because of this, Wang Chen felt even more guilty! At that moment, his elder brother's smile and eyes would forever be etched in his memory, with only him in his eyes!

That year, his elder brother was twenty, a Spirit Warrior, with astonishing talent, causing a sensation in the kingdom!

Every time he thought about this, Wang Chen felt a piercing pain. He would rather his elder brother had complained fiercely, which might have made him feel better. But he chose silence and action.

Thinking about all this, tears streamed down his cheeks, bringing a bitter ache.

"Xiao Chen, what's wrong? Do you think I don't care about you enough?" Sensing Wang Chen's change, Wang Yan quickly asked, thinking something had happened.

"Get away! Why do you care so much about me? Why?" He fiercely shook off Wang Yan's hand and roared.

"You should know that my birth took everything from you."

"With your talent, you should have enjoyed everything and been the center of attention. Why did you give it all to me? Why do I get to eat while you can only watch? Why does Father only give me the cultivation techniques and not you?"

"Why do you always take the blame for my mistakes, and only get to watch when good things happen?"

"Why that night, knowing that staying meant certain death, did you still stay? You should have known that staying meant certain death! With your talent, you would have had a better chance of escaping! Why did you give up the opportunity? What can you do if you die?"

"Are you stupid? At fifteen, you reached the ninth stage of Body Tempering! Do you know what that means? At twenty, you entered the ranks of Spirit Warriors. Who in the Tianfeng Kingdom could compare to you? You should have left! Why did you choose to stay? Why didn't you fight for it?"

"Even if you were to leave with us, why did you stay behind to protect us, even giving up the chance to escape? Why? You could have escaped more easily on your own!"

"Father is biased, I can't say it, but you can. You are a normal person, not a fool. What are your words for?"

Wang Chen pounced on Wang Yan, fiercely grabbing his collar and shouting, his face wet with tears, his vision blurry.

Wang Yan still smiled calmly, showing no other reaction: "I am your brother!"

"Bullshit, is that how a brother acts? What are you thinking! Is your life not worth anything? Is your talent just for show? Why don't you fight for it!" Wang Chen roared madly.

Wang Yan remained calm: "You are my brother!"

Each word fell on Wang Chen's ears, simple but making his heart ache even more, to the point where he could hardly breathe.

"Always like this, and always will be!" Facing Wang Chen's roar, even as he was grabbed by the collar, Wang Yan still smiled.

"Is it because of the Divine Martial bloodline?" Seeing his brother's appearance, Wang Chen couldn't continue his anger, let go of the collar, and sat down weakly, asking.

"No! I only learned about the bloodline that night!" Wang Yan's answer was still simple.

"Are you content with being buried like this?" Wang Chen's body trembled as he asked.

Wang Yan fell silent for a moment, then said firmly: "As long as you are well, I am content!"

"Alright, don't cry. Have you forgotten? I said, Wang family men shed blood, not tears! Stand up straight." Wang Yan patted Wang Chen's shoulder and frowned.

Standing at a distance, at the door of the small wooden house, Wang Lin saw everything. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, she could guess. Her eyes moistened, and she took a deep breath. Sometimes, she couldn't understand Wang Yan. This brother might sometimes put too much pressure on Wang Chen.

At the foot of the mountain, holding a wine flask, still in his disheveled appearance, Dong Fangniu stood there, watching the two brothers, lost in thought for a long time.

The night was thick, the sky vast, the stars twinkling, the insects chirping, and the cool breeze brought a chill. The night finally deepened, and the two brothers, leaning against the big tree, gazed at the starry sky, lost in thought for a long time.

"Bro, I miss home, I miss them!" After a long time, when his emotions had stabilized, Wang Chen said softly.
