Guan Ao turned through the garden and past the small spring, stopping in front of Guan Tianming's Bamboo Cottage, sighing and shaking his head.
" hero Guan!" Mings came to stand beside Guan Ao. "I'm not entirely sure what happened between you and the Second Young Master, but if you don't find a way to break this barrier, it will eventually create an insurmountable chasm between you two!"
Guan Ao let out a long sigh. "I want to mend the relationship with Tian Ming as well. However, some mistakes, once made, can never be undone, and they will haunt you for a lifetime."
Guan Ao gazed at the Bamboo Cottage and continued slowly, "The reason Tian Ming has never forgiven me is because of his mother. Tian Ming's mother, named Zi Qing, was a wonderful woman. When she married me, it was shortly after I had taken over Bu Dong Mountain Manor. At that time, various sects would come to Bu Dong Mountain Manor to stir trouble and seek out non-existent martial arts secrets. I was quite weak and filled with worries. Thankfully, Zi Qing stayed by my side, constantly encouraging me through those dark times. I am grateful to her and love her even more; I vowed to love only her for the rest of my life! But later..."
Guan Ao paused, his expression turning sorrowful. "But later I met Tianshe's Mother, another extraordinary woman, one of the most beautiful heroines in the martial world. I fell uncontrollably in love with her and betrayed my vow to Zi Qing. In a fit of anger, Zi Qing ran away from Bu Dong Mountain Manor. I should have chased after her immediately, but I didn't, and that became the worst decision of my life."
"What happened next?" Mings asked.
"Zi Qing encountered Mountain Bandits," Guan Ao said, his face pale. "When I found her, she was being cornered by a group of Mountain Bandits at the edge of a cliff. Then she... without any hesitation... jumped off the cliff!"
Guan Ao's eyes were filled with pain as he spoke. "Even today, I still remember the look she gave me before she jumped—there was no sadness or regret, just a despair that came from a heart that had given up! After Tian Ming learned of Zi Qing's death, he never wanted to see me again. It has been eight years now."
Mings fell silent for a moment before asking, "And Tianshe's Mother?"
Guan Ao shook his head. "After Zi Qing died, I fell into deep despair. Tianshe's Mother was also a very sensitive woman; she believed she had driven Zi Qing to her death and felt responsible for my sorrow. So she left me a farewell letter and disappeared from my life forever. One wrong decision destroyed two women and left two children without their mother. Tian Ming has never forgiven me, and Tianshe... although she smiles every day, I know deep down she must miss her mother terribly."
"Captain! hero Guan! There you are; I've been looking everywhere for you!" Shao Wen's voice called from behind Mings.
Mings turned around and saw that Shao Wen's expression was not very good. Mings slightly lowered his head and noticed Guan Tianshe beside Shao Wen.
Guan Tianshe smiled and said, "See, I told you they would definitely be here!"
Mings smiled faintly as Guan Tianshe rushed to Guan Ao's side, tugging at his clothes. "Father, let's go. The Acrobatic Troupe that Brother found is about to start performing. If you're not there, I won't enjoy it."
Guan Ao looked at his little daughter snuggling beside him and nodded with a smile. "Alright, I'll go now." With that, he walked forward with Guan Tianshe.
Shao Wen curiously asked, "Captain, you two have been out for so long. What did you talk about?"
Mings squeezed Shao Wen's shoulder and whispered in his ear, " hero Guan said... he wants to give Third Miss to you."
"Ah, what?" Shao Wen nearly jumped up in surprise. Looking at Mings, who was walking away with a mischievous smile, he hurriedly followed.
When Mings and Shao Wen returned to the hall, Guan Ao was already seated at the main table.
To Mings' surprise, the maid Qing Die was also sitting among them.
Before long, a group of oddly dressed and comical members of the Acrobatic Troupe gathered in the courtyard. Guan Tianshe was very happy, clapping her hands continuously, while the performance of the Acrobatic Troupe was indeed spectacular and dazzling.
The finale was the Acrobatic Troupe's signature act—Chasing Stars and Catching the Moon!
