Chapter 192: Chapter 192: The Meaning of Living

Everyone suddenly stood up, their eyes wide open as they stared at Wu Xia.

Lin Jiao was even more agitated as she rushed over, "What did you say?"

"Sister-in-law, please, calm down!"

Since the conversation had already turned in that direction, Wu Xia didn’t hide it any longer and said bluntly, "I have seen my second brother’s soul today. I have discussed it with him, and we can resurrect him."

Boom!

Lin Jiao felt as if her head was going to explode, her body swaying unsteadily.

"Sister-in-law..."

Wu Xia was about to go and support Lin Jiao when she raised her hand and slapped him across the face.

"Is this the reason you’ve been distancing yourself from me?"

Lin Jiao’s eyes were bloodshot as she glared fiercely at Wu Xia, "Is this how you play with me?"

"What exactly did I do wrong to be tortured by you like this, why?"

By the end of her tirade, Lin Jiao was nearly hysterical as she shouted.

"Sister-in-law, listen to my explanation!" Wu Xia tried to step forward to stabilize Lin Jiao’s emotions.

"Don’t touch me!" Lin Jiao screamed, "Get away from me!"

"I will leave, it’s me who should leave, I don’t deserve to be part of the Wu Family, ah!"

Lin Jiao rushed crazily towards the door, with Wu Xia trying to follow her, but Zhou Fang stopped him.

"What else are you going to do? Do you want to drive her to death?" Zhou Fang glared fiercely at Wu Xia, took off her apron, and quickly followed Lin Jiao out.

Wu Xia stood there stunned, Lin Jiao’s agonized expression penetrated his heart like a relentless drill, causing him immense distress.

He had never felt his heart ache like this, so painful that even breathing was difficult, his brain in complete turmoil.

"Xia, have you lost your mind?"

Wu Gang came back to his senses, his face ashen as he looked at Wu Xia, "How are we all supposed to get along as a family after this?"

Wu Xia looked confused, "Big brother, don’t you want our second brother to come back to life?"

"Nonsense!"

Wu Gang slammed his hand on the table, "Jiao already has a marriage arrangement with you, everyone knows, and now you want to bring the second brother back, how will you get along?"

"Are you trying to make everyone laugh Jiao to death? You are pushing her to her grave!"

"I..." Wu Xia was about to speak, but Wu Gang interrupted him.

"What do you mean ’I’?"

"Don’t take out your excuse about young people’s freedom to love, as if you’re so free to love, leaving a trail of affections everywhere, not short of one or two women."

"But what about Jiao?"

"Her home is here, all her relatives in the surrounding villages are here, even if you ask her to leave, when she is old and passes away, she’ll have to come back here!"

"Do you want these people to curse her to death?"

"This is about being poked in the backbone, making her unable to raise her head for her entire life!"

The always honest and straightforward Wu Gang, who was not good at speaking, just let out a fluent roar without stopping.

Wu Xia stood there frozen.

Indeed, he had failed to consider these things due to having too many women.

While he hadn’t deeply been involved in the country’s customs, he knew that rural people could talk a lot.

But he had his own considerations!

He wanted his family to be well!

He wanted Lin Jiao to have a support if he ascended to the Upper Realm!

Wu Gang’s emotions began to stabilize, and after all, as the head of the family, he walked up to Wu Xia and patted his shoulder.

"Xia, I know you mean well, and I do wish for our second brother to return."

"But, you have to consider the reality, the same pain, experienced once, twice, who could bear it?"

"I think if the second brother knew the situation, he wouldn’t come back either."

Wu Xia stood there, dumbfounded.

The second brother had said he didn’t want to disrupt Lin Jiao’s current life.

But now that he had the power to resurrect Wu Tie, if he didn’t do it, he would feel even more disturbed.

"Big Brother, can’t I just take Second Brother away, to some other place? At least he’d still be alive,"

Wu Xia clenched his teeth; he couldn’t just give up on Wu Tie, nor did he wish to harm Lin Jiao.

"Ha ha!" Wu Gang revealed a ghastly smile, shaking his head bitterly, "Xia, if only things were as wonderful as you imagine."

"Your Second Brother is stubborn, you know that. He’s set his heart on Jiao. Now, without Jiao, what would he come back for?"

Wu Gang didn’t give Wu Xia the chance to speak and continued, "Don’t tell me about cultivating immortality or going to another world."

"That’s what you’re pursuing, not what we are after!"

"We just want to live honestly here, in this place that raised us, and pass it on from generation to generation!"

Wu Gang’s gaze was deep as he looked at Wu Xia, "Xia, when living, one must have some aspirations. You can’t just live blindly; what’s the difference between that and being dead?"

Wu Xia was stunned.

He once had dreams, and for those dreams, he fought and ventured, despite the exhaustion and hardship, but it made his life fulfilling and joyful.

But after being framed, he lost his purpose, living like a salted fish.

Now, even with overwhelming power and the ability to do whatever he wants without concern,

his life was empty.

He lacked a goal to strive for.

Even though beautiful women surrounded him, all willing to follow him without disturbing him,

he had affection for each and every one of them and didn’t want to let them down.

But what was the outcome?

In the end, he was still continuously hurting them!

At this moment, Wu Xia was lost.

In regards to ascension, to the Upper Realm, he was lost about everything.

His cultivation had been too smooth, without any ups and downs, and he had lost the meaning of life.

He had thought that by cultivating diligently, he could bring his family along with him, and everyone could live happily and carefreely; that would be the best.

But Wu Gang’s words made him realize he was wrong,

and so outrageously wrong at that.

He had been wrong since he took them to the city,

Although money could bring them temporary happiness, it wasn’t earned by their own hands, and all was fleeting, persuading these honest people to let go and return to the village.

Yet, at that time, Wu Xia had not realized the problem and was still engrossed in his own enjoyment.

Now, things had escalated, and everything seemed beyond repair.

"Big Brother, what should I do now?"

With tears welling up in his eyes, Wu Xia looked at Wu Gang.

Wu Gang had a fatherly gaze as he looked at his brother, "Xia, ask yourself, do you love Jiao?"

"I do!" Wu Xia replied firmly.

He was true to his heart, "I love her, deeply so. I’m willing to sacrifice everything for her!"

"It’s also because I love her that I want to revive Second Brother so that he can always be by her side. I’ve already transcended human limits and could leave here at any moment. I fear she’ll be lonely by herself!"

"Big Brother, I can erase her memory of me, including everyone’s memory, so they wouldn’t know of Second Brother’s death, and he could come back to life as if nothing ever happened!"

Wu Gang’s brows furrowed slightly, "Wouldn’t that hurt you?"

"It would!" Wu Xia’s smile was tinged with sadness, "But this way, Sister-in-law and Second Brother wouldn’t be hurt, they could be as loving as they were in the beginning."

"And I could also leave without any worries, in pursuit of the answers I seek!"

"Yes, only by settling these worries can I search for the meaning of my life without any concerns!"

Wu Gang’s eyes shimmered with complex emotions as he placed his hand on Wu Xia’s shoulder, speaking solemnly, "Xia, when one person has fallen in love with another, even if they lose their memory, many habits can’t be changed. They are imprinted in the soul."

"It might not be noticeable in the short term, but as time goes on, many issues will surface."

"Big Brother, I..."

Just as Wu Xia was about to speak, Tiezhu came running in from outside.

"Master, it’s terrible! Your Sister-in-law has jumped off a cliff!"

Boom!

"What?"
