Chapter: 3534
"Sooner or later, our family's tombstones will be indistinguishable from random mounds of earth."
"If we meet with more land expropriations, natural disasters, or human calamities, it's possible that your entire family's remains won't even have anyone to bury them!"
"Or what's the difference between scattering one's bones and ashes?"
As he heard this, Wan Bao Jun's head sank low, his entire body shook violently, and tears kept falling onto the ground.
He also wanted to live on.
But he was afraid that Ye Chen would not let him live, nor his brothers, in order to preserve their parents' dignity and peace of mind, so he could only choose to die.
However, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind: "Ye Chen just turned my short sword into powder, is it possible that he intentionally spared my life?" But soon, Wan Bao Jun sighed inwardly: "I'm probably thinking too much. I've been so disrespectful to Ye Chen's parents; how could he spare my life? If I were him, I would have killed myself long ago..."
Ye Chen continued: "Wan Bao Jun, you should know that everyone has a death, but it's only when they are remembered after death that their existence in this world can be proved."
"The ancestors and heroes of old died thousands of years ago, yet people still remember them; this is the highest meaning of human existence - to live one life well..."
"Even ordinary people cannot become ancestors or heroes, at least they can leave behind a name on their family tree for their descendants to remember. Just like my Ye clan, our ancestral records have been passed down for hundreds of years, with each ancestor's name recorded; this is the proof of their existence and as long as our clan prospers, their names will never be forgotten!"
As he said this, Ye Chen looked at Wan Bao Jun and spoke calmly: "But if you were to die today, your parents' names would also be buried with you."
"Perhaps as the lord of Wanlong Hall, people might still remember you decades after your death. But who will remember your parents? They'll just be cast into the river of history, never to be remembered again - how pitiful!"
At this moment, Wan Bao Jun is filled with shame to the extreme!
Originally, he had already made preparations for a glorious death, but now he suddenly feels that if he were to die like this, after his death there would be no face to see his parents and the ancestors of the Wan clan!
Ye Chen's words are literally killing him!
It's even more painful than dying a thousand times!
Originally, he thought death was a kind of liberation, a way to save oneself.
But now he realizes that if he dies, it won't only fail to liberate or save himself, but will also shame his parents and ancestors!
Because his death will cause his parents and ancestors to disappear completely in the long river of history!
It will also erase the entire Wan clan, which has endured for thousands of years and suffered countless hardships, leaving no existence or significance behind!
Thinking about this, he feels as if he's not even alive.
The shame is so unbearable that it's almost as if he's dying from it.
So he raised his head, looking at Leaf with eyes that were red and puffy from crying, begging in a solemn tone: "Mr. Leaf! I'm willing to give up everything! Just grant me an opportunity to be filial and repay your kindness! I swear on behalf of my parents and the Wan clan's ancestors that this life will serve Mr. Leaf as his loyal servant, exerting all my strength, willing to die a thousand times rather than not serving, and never resting until my dying breath!!"
Leaf knew that if he wanted to kill Wan, he had to do it thoroughly, but if he didn't kill him and wanted to use him for himself, he would have to let him break and then rise again!
