A kiss, and I'll live another day; they begged me not to go crazy.

"Please, Master," Da Zhuang kowtowed forcefully.

The spine that once refused to bend has finally lost its straightness.

"I swear, I will come back once I find my father." His forehead was red, but the other person was still playing with a picture of a beautiful woman in his hand.

Faced with such a desperate situation, Dazhuang felt utterly helpless.

......

Ultimately, having no other choice, Da Zhuang's mother embarked on a journey alone to that sect to plead for mercy.

Along the way, she endured wind and rain, sleeping outdoors and experiencing many hardships.

She held only one firm belief in her heart—she must save her husband and protect this shattered family…

......

At this time, Dazhuang's mother was unaware of how strict those major sects were.

Filled with hope and a sliver of wishful thinking, she embarked alone on her journey to the sect.

I'm just begging them to be lenient and consider that their family has always been honest and law-abiding.

Give them a chance to slowly compensate for the precious medicinal herb.

......

Upon arriving at the sect, Da Zhuang's mother pleaded desperately before finally being allowed to see Da Zhuang's father.

"My dear husband, you've suffered so much."

Throughout the journey, despite kneeling and kowtowing, Dazhuang's mother never shed a tear.

Seeing her man huddled in an iron cage less than half her height, his lips cracked, she could no longer hold back her tears.

......

"You've suffered too."

At this moment, Dazhuang's father looked at the woman opposite him, whose eyes were full of worry.

I know that saying "you shouldn't have come here" is useless.

......

In fact, by this point, everyone clearly understands the reason behind it.

Originally, it was an unclaimed spiritual herb.

But somehow, it inexplicably became something belonging to the sect.

According to Dazhuang's father, he had never damaged the medicinal herb in the first place.

However, after he risked his life to remove it, it was unfortunately taken away by an even more powerful force.

......

Faced with this situation, the sect had nowhere to vent its anger, and could only vent its fury on the innocent Da Zhuang's father.

They thought, this was just an ordinary farmer,

If we can find one spiritual herb, then we can probably find a second one.

......

However, Dazhuang's parents knew perfectly well that they were aware of all of this.

They were lucky to find the first one; how could they possibly find the second?

But how could they, all alone and helpless, possibly contend with the power of a massive sect?

Left with no other choice, they had to endure the humiliation, lower their stance, and plead with the sect to let them off the hook.

......

The sect did not release them, but they also did not take their lives.

After all, their lives are worthless, but the sect wants to rely on them to gather herbs, which are valuable.

As for where the sect ultimately sent these two people, no one knows.

......

Wang Er, on the other hand, had been observing the development of this whole affair from Da Zhuang's perspective.

But for some reason, I've been seeing what Dazhuang's parents have gone through recently.

......

With the sect's affairs concluded, he returned to Da Zhuang's perspective.

He worked diligently in the Lord's house every day, waiting for the day he had agreed to meet his mother.

But as time went by, the appointed date arrived long ago, yet he still hadn't received any news from his mother.

At this moment, he immediately sensed that something was terribly wrong, but because he was trapped in his master's house and unable to escape,

Suddenly finding themselves with nowhere to turn for help, they were plunged into deep anxiety and helplessness.

......

And so, time passed day by day.

Dazhuang grew increasingly anxious and impatient, every minute and every second a form of torture.

In order to gain his master's trust and obtain permission to go out and search for his parents,

Dazhuang racked his brains and tried every possible way to curry favor with his master.

......

He tirelessly ran errands for his master, did his best to complete various tasks, and even risked his life to do dangerous things.

Gradually, Dazhuang became more and more loved and trusted in the Lord's family.

Even so, he never got the chance to go out alone.

......

However, fate is always full of drama.

Because Dazhuang often helped his master organize letters, he unexpectedly discovered a shocking secret one day.

The sect that his parents used to belong to was wiped out overnight!

This sudden and devastating news struck Dazhuang like a bolt from the blue.

......

Upon hearing this news, Dazhuang felt as if his entire world had collapsed, and everything went dark.

Prior to this, despite being separated from his parents,

But at least a sliver of hope remained in his heart; he firmly believed that his loved ones were still alive.

But now, even that last glimmer of hope has been extinguished.

Dazhuang didn't know if his parents were still alive, but now it seemed that they were probably dead.

......

Driven to despair, Dazhuang could no longer bear the pain and torment in his heart, and he decided to take action.

Finally, on a dark and windy night,

Da Zhuang pretended to accept the invitation from the young master, who had long harbored ill intentions towards him and coveted him.

When the two met, Dazhuang suddenly attacked him when he was off guard.

Using expensive drugs, they subdued the arrogant young master who usually flaunted his power and swaggered around, and tied him tightly to the ground.

......

At this moment, Da Zhuang's eyes widened in anger as he stared intently at the young master he had subdued at his feet.

Recalling the various humiliations and injustices he had suffered in the past,

Then she thought that if it weren't for this person, she might have been able to go up the mountain with her mother to rescue her father long ago, and wouldn't have had to lose her life for no reason because of the sect's troubles.

A burning rage raged within him, growing ever stronger, and he longed to end the other man's life.

But just as the sharp blade in his hand was about to pierce the young master's throat, Dazhuang's heart softened in the end, and he couldn't bring himself to do it...

......

The opportunity slipped away right before his eyes, and when he finally came to his senses, he found that the young master had already firmly held the jade slip in his hand.

The young master's gaze was no longer lecherous; instead, he spoke gently and kindly:

"If you release me now, I promise you will leave this place safely, and you can choose any item in my house."

“I know you were forced into this, to save your father. I won’t tell anyone.”

"Don't worry, I won't chase you down." This was the first time Da Zhuang had seen his usually arrogant and domineering young master be so understanding.
