Incarnation Of Gods: Endless War - Chapter 259

Third-person POV

Di Tian who was talking to his fiancée, Qatar, while waiting for the right time to visit his sister-in-law saw Di Shang stormed out of his courtyard with fists tightly clenched as his veins showed up on the back of his hands.

Di Tian and Qatar looked at each other with a visible confusion on their faces. Since Di Tian was worried, they decided to chase after him. When they finally caught up to Di Shang, they saw him facing someone they never saw before.

The attire that the other man wore was definitely for assassin or shadow guards but the design of the black clothes wasn’t the design from their Di family. From the other man’s face, it seemed like he was a very cheerful and bright person, however, one shouldn’t judge people’s faces.

They could vaguely hear the conversation that was happening between them.

“General Di, there is something I have to say to you.” The other man said with a weak smile on his lips.

Di Shang didn’t reply nor nod his head to respond to the other man because of the previous conflict that happened with Meiyun a few minutes ago. The other man sighed as he could see the black clouds hovering above Di Shang’s head.

“Well, this has something to do with Senior Meiyun. That’s why I looked for the person that I truly care for her.” The other man continued without getting dispirited from the unresponsive Di Shang.

Hearing that it related to Meiyun, Di Shang’s face turned darker. Again, information about his own wife that he didn’t know and had to hear it from another person rather than the person itself.

“Ah Ren, you are here to tell me about my wife? Why is it everyone knows her better than I do?” Di Shang snapped.

Ah Ren understood what Di Shang was feeling and he couldn’t do anything about it. it was Meiyun’s decision if she wanted to tell him or not, it wasn’t his business to meddle in someone’s family affair especially when Meiyun already married into Di Shang’s family.

“General Di, please cease your anger. I am here not to spill any tea but to remind, no, warn you about my precious senior.” Ah Ren calmly explained.

Hearing Ah Ren’s explanation, Di Shang took a deep breath and calmed himself to think straight.

“I am sorry. Things are no really good for me today, my apologies.” Di Shang apologized.

“It is fine, I can relate to you. Even though Senior Meiyun is very kind and fun to around with, sometimes she can frustrate us to the point of us questioning our friendship. And that is one of the reasons why I came here, to warn you about the unknown side of hers.” Ah Ren’s smiley face turned serious in a second.

Di Shang was taken aback by Ah Ren’s sudden change in expression, “What do you mean?”

Ah Ren sighed for the hundredth times, “General Di must be aware of Her Majesty Empress’s case and Great General Xu’s arrival in Chang An right?”

“En, Great General Xu left a few days after I arrived at Chang An.” Di Shang nodded his head.

“Yes, and as a fellow people who work in the same field, General Di must also be aware that we have a rule that a punishment would be befallen on someone that failed their job. So, my fellow elite forces were punished the moment my Master arrived here, meanwhile, I took my punishment right after I arrived at Chang An.” Ah Ren said.

Di Shang silently agreed with Ah Ren. In the Di family, they also had this rule but the punishment is different from the Xu family.

“I was recuperating for these past few weeks and almost completely healed. And the moment we heard Senior Meiyun regained her consciousness, I quickly came to visit her with letters from my fellow elite forces.” Ah Ren took out a stack of envelopes that were tied together with a thin rope and handed it to Di Shang.

Di Shang took the securely tied envelopes from Ah Ren’s hand but when Di Shang was going to pull it from Ah Ren’s hold, Ah Ren’s hand firmly holding onto the thin rope, leaving both of them in an awkward pose. Di Shang looked at Ah Ren’s earnest eyes that were staring at him intensely.

“Please don’t tell Senior Meiyun that Master came here or anything about us taking her punishment in her place. Or else she would blame herself to the point she would travel all the way to Xi An to take her punishment.” Ah Ren sighed at Meiyun’s stubbornness which was very similar to Hong er.

“With just the news of Her Majesty Empress’s disappearance, she would fall into depression and definitely would blame herself for not making it in time to save Her Majesty Empress…” Ah Ren’s hold on the envelopes loosened and Di Shang finally could put the envelopes in his pocket chest.

“..although she had done more than enough. So I beg you, General Di. Protect her to the best you can. I will entrust her to you.” Ah Ren said from the deepest of his heart.

From what Di Shang could see, Meiyun’s existence to Ah Ren ‘s life was very special and irreplaceable that not everyone could understand the bond between them.

“Why do you care so much about her?” Di Shang asked sincerely.

Ah Ren’s smile grew wider when the image of Meiyun grabbing his hand and pulled him out from the darkness that had swallowed him long ago. The cage that he made to distance himself from everyone around him. He locked himself up in his tiny space fearing to face the cruel world that he had been living before he met Meiyun, Hong er, and others.

“Because…she is the one who shows me the beautiful side of this world…” Ah Ren muttered under his breath but Di Shang could hear him clearly.

Di Shang didn’t know what to say to reply to Ah Ren so he just stood silently without moving. A few seconds later, Ah Ren lifted his head up with a wide smile plastered on his face.

“General Di! You said that things are not really good today, is it because of Senior Meiyun?” to lighten up the strained atmosphere, Ah Ren decided to change the subject of their conversation.

Di Shang contemplated whenever he should tell Ah Ren or not. But then he thought that Ah Ren could be a really big help for him to get back with Meiyun. He regretted and felt guilty for his action and whatever he said to Meiyun previously. He wanted to apologize but didn’t know the right way to do so.

“En,” Di Shang nodded his head.

“Can you tell me what happened? Maybe I can be a help.” Ah Ren inquired.

Di Shang sighed for the hundredth times when the rethought the conflict between him and Meiyun in their room not long ago.

“She…she never say anything to me or rely on me even once, it made me feel useless as a husband. Even when she knew that she was pregnant, she didn’t even say a word to me. I know I am in the wrong for doubting her faith in me but I was so frustrated that I can’t think of the words that I can say and what I am not supposed to say.” Di Shang massaged his forehead with his fingers.

Ah Ren placed his fingers on his chin while thinking of the best solution for Di Shang’s current situation, “Worry not, Senior Meiyun will never get mad at you because she truly loves you. It is just that she has this fear of burdening others for the problem that related to her, that’s why she always hid her problems to herself.

I think just by talking to her properly, everything will be fine. But give her time to slowly open up, each people have a different way of thinking and for Senior Meiyun, she needs a quite long time to open up.”

Di Shang found Ah Ren’s words made sense as the description of Meiyun was accurate. He took note in his head, he had to be patient if he wanted Meiyun to rely on him fully.

“Please don’t blame Senior Meiyun, she has her own reason for her stubbornness.” Ah Ren tapped Di Shang’s shoulder.

“I won’t.” Di Shang gave him a slight nod.

“Well then, it is time for me to leave. I will leave this matter to you, General Di. I hope your dispute with Senior Meiyun can be solved finely.” Ah Ren waved his hand and disappeared into thin air.

Without further ado, Di Shang made up his mind and turned around to walk back to the chamber that he shared with Meiyun. Di Tian and Qatar who were listening to their conversation for the whole time quickly hid in the bushes. Di Shang walk passed by them and went directly to the door of his room.

Although he had braved his heart to gentlemanly apologies to Meiyun, his heart was still hesitant at the thought of whenever Meiyun was upset at him or not.

“Meiyun?” Di Shang called out softly as he carefully mended his way to the inner room of their chamber.

Hearing no response from the woman he was looking for, his heart grew anxious every second passed by. He quickened his steps and roughly opened the pearl curtain that separates the inner room and the outer room.

His eyes widened when he saw there was no one on the bed. The blanket was neatly folded on the bottom of the bed, there wasn’t even a single wrinkle on the sheet. Then he heard a soft howl of wind came in from the window beside the bed, he lifted his head up to see the window was not fully closed.

Blood drained from his face as his lips trembled, “Meiyun….”
