Volume 2 Dragon Bird Chapter 45: Seeking the Sword of My Youth (Part 2)
After they got married, they were penniless.
Although Liu Zijun did not have too many demands on Xue Zhuyong and they lived a simple but happy life, after getting married, Xue Zhuyong suddenly realized the responsibilities he should bear and understood the importance of identity and status. In order to prevent his beloved woman from suffering, he had to ensure that he had a certain status.
In the Mo family, the best way to improve status is sword-making skills.
After learning from his mistakes, Xue Zhuyong decided to start learning the art of sword-making, even if he still rejected the Mo family.
The gentle Liu Zijun naturally supported her husband's decision. She took out all her savings without hesitation and managed to buy a small courtyard with a sword-making room, which she named Nanyuan.
Xue Zhuyong concentrated on forging swords, while Liu Zijun took care of his daily life and managed the small family.
But who would have thought that one would not know until he started to learn, and would be surprised. After Xue Zhuyong began to study sword-making seriously, he suddenly discovered that he had an amazing talent in sword-making.
In just five years, his talent in sword-making was fully demonstrated, his status rose rapidly, and he suddenly became the most outstanding disciple among the eight branches.
Ten years later, Mo Yinfeng's time has come. According to the Mo family tradition, Xue Zhuyong, who is the best sword-making artist among the eight branches, becomes the person at the helm.
After suffering for so many years, Xue Zhuyong was finally able to live a happy life with his wife. Even though he still had some resentment about his mother's tragic death because of the Mo family, since the people involved had returned to dust, Xue Zhuyong slowly buried these resentments deep in his heart and lived a simple and happy life with Liu Zijun.
Another twenty years passed, and the term of the current head of the Mo family had come to an end. It was time to select a new head, and the Mo family was suddenly in turmoil.
At that time, the two most powerful factions in the Mo family were the main branch and the second branch. These two factions were fighting for the position of the head of the Mo family. The competition became fierce and evenly matched.
As a sword-making family, the Mo family has a tradition that has been respected from generation to generation - the head of the Mo family must be the most outstanding swordsmith of the contemporary Mo family.
But the problem is that the man at the helm of the first house has better sword-making skills than anyone else in the second house.
According to this tradition, the position of head of the family should be inherited by the main branch of the family.
Just when they were at a loss, someone from the second branch suddenly discovered that among all the contemporary people in the Mo family, the most outstanding swordsmith was not from the main branch, but the man at the helm of the eighth branch who was almost ignored, Xue Zhuyong.
It was like pie falling from the sky. After an extremely complicated struggle, the second branch of the family helped Xue Zhuyong become the head of the Mo family.
Due to his childhood experiences, Xue Zhuyong did not value power and did not have much in mind for the position of head of the family.
He only wanted to live his own life with Liu Zijun, and knowing that the second branch was very powerful, he was willing to be a puppet head of the family and obey the second branch in everything.
But everyone in the Mo family knows that as long as they control Xue Zhuyong, they will control the Mo family. Therefore, other factions of the Mo family have never given up the fight for power and have been constantly trying to win over Xue Zhuyong in an attempt to gain power.
Faced with this situation, Mo Guang, who was in charge of the second house, was very worried, fearing that power would fall into the hands of others one day. In order to consolidate his power, Mo Guang decided to marry his daughter to Xue Zhuyong, intending to make Xue Zhuyong divorce his wife.
However, Xue Zhuyong, who always obeyed Mo Guang's orders, refused to give in even a bit in the face of Mo Guang's repeated threats and inducements, and refused to give in.
Later, Xue Zhuyong issued the first order of his own accord after succeeding as the head of the family:
Looking for the old sword from my youth.
When I was down and out, I forged a sword for the first time. It was an old sword of extremely poor quality that could not even be considered a magic weapon. However, I have deep feelings for it and miss it very much. If anyone can help me find it back, I will pay a huge reward as a token of my gratitude.
This seemed like a ridiculous order to others. Going to such lengths just to help you find a broken sword?
But Mo Guang understood Xue Zhuyong's intention.
I am so obsessed with an old sword that I am ready to go to war. What about my wife who has been with me since I was a nobody?
Mo Guang never proposed to marry his daughter to Xue Zhuyong again.
However, how could Xue Zhuyong, who only wanted to compromise, have expected the viciousness in the hearts of those who were obsessed with fighting for power.
Half a year later, Liu Zijun was seriously injured in the core area of the Mo family by a cultivator who had sneaked into the Mo family to steal. The cultivator also escaped the Mo family 's search and disappeared.
Before his death, Liu Zijun looked at Xue Zhuyong's face and could not close his eyes for a long time.
Xue Zhuyong's eyes were filled with tears and blood. He wanted to accompany Liu Zijun and grow old together in the underworld.
Liu Zijun held on to his last breath, asking Xue Zhuyong to live well and govern the extremely corrupt Mo family.
Xue Zhuyong was heartbroken, but under Liu Zijun's gentle gaze, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
How could a petty thief dare to sneak into the core area of the Mo family, and how could he walk back and forth safely without stealing anything, but just happened to kill his own wife?
Xue Zhuyong knew the truth behind this very well.
He promised Liu Zijun that he would manage the Mo family well, so he had to do what he said.
The Mo family is rotten to the core. If you want to govern them, the best way is to destroy them.
After Liu Zijun died, Xue Zhuyong buried her in the Nanyuan where they got married.
After keeping vigil for Liu Zijun for half a year , he followed Mo Guang's request and married Mo Guang's daughter, Mo Zhizhi.
Apart from the fact that Xue Zhuyong became addicted to alcohol and drank to drown his sorrows every day, everything seemed normal and no one realized the depth of hatred hidden in Xue Zhuyong's heart.
Mo Zhizhi had no idea about the pain Xue Zhuyong had gone through, but as a teenage girl, she had always admired Xue Zhuyong, the head of the Mo family who had risen from obscurity.
At the behest of her parents, Mo Zhizhi married Xue Zhuyong.
After becoming Xue Zhuyong's wife, Mo Zhizhi took good care of Xue Zhuyong, who was depressed due to emotional trauma, and worked hard to accompany Xue Zhuyong and tried her best to be a good wife.
Seeing Xue Zhuyong gradually cheering up, she thought that her care had worked, and her heart was leaping with joy. However, she didn't know that Xue Zhuyong was just cheering up and preparing to overthrow the Mo family.
Once a genius goes crazy, his methods become terrifying.
Xue Zhuyong spent nearly a hundred years improving his skills, forging a three-foot sword, and creating an atmosphere of prosperity for the Mo family.
But secretly, Xue Zhuyong had already arranged a retreat, acquired a life-saving magic weapon, and tried his best to deliberately provoke the Dragon King several times in the capacity of the head of the Mo family, releasing the Mo family's hostility towards the Jiao clan.
Finally, he got what he wanted and attracted the Jiao tribe to surround the island, and Longquan was destroyed.
…
"The old sword has deep feelings, and the love left in the South Garden." I didn't expect the story behind this to be like this. Lu Qingshan sighed and understood everything in his heart. He asked softly, "I haven't asked for Madam Mo's name yet?"
Mrs. Mo burst into tears, her eyes were red, and she choked up and said, "Mo...Zhizhi."
