The corpse lying on the stretcher was undoubtedly Zi Shuilan.
There was a bloody hole in Zi Shuilan’s heart. A large amount of blood stained his purple clothes, which matched the steward’s description.
“Hua’er, I’ve let you down. I promised you that I would take good care of the City of Beastmen and raise Shuilan. I didn’t expect…”
Upon seeing that the corpse was indeed Zi Shuilan, Yue Jinrong clutched his heart in pain, his breath trembling.
He suddenly fell onto the corpse and began crying uncontrollably.
“Hua’er, our only son has gone. How can I face the world to see you in the future!”
“At that time, I wanted to die with you, but you didn’t agree… If I’d known, I would’ve gone with you then. It’s better than sending our son on his last journey!”
Perhaps he was reminded of his sad past by Zi Shuilan’s death, Yue Jinrong cried a few times and began to recall his late wife, Zi Hua.
The expression on his face was extremely tragic without a trace of falsehood. He was just like any father who had lost his beloved son and a husband recalling his late wife.
Even the residents of the City of Beastmen who were anxious to avenge Zi Shuilan couldn’t help but be moved when they saw him like this and heard Yue Jinrong mention the previous City Lord.
“City Lord Yue, the Young City Lord is already dead. My condolences.”
Many family Heads began to advise Yue Jinrong.
“Sigh, City Lord Yue really has deep feelings for City Lord Zi! You haven’t stopped missing your late wife after so many years.”
“Of course. Back then, the Yue Family was just a small family in the City of Beastmen. Without City Lord Zi Hua, how could the Yue Family be as strong as today? City Lord Yue naturally cares about City Lord Zi Hua’s goodwill.”
Upon seeing this, many people began to talk about Zi Hua and Yue Jinrong.
“City Lord Yue’s deep affection is really touching. He’s really a good husband and a good father!”
Yao Bilian looked at Yue Jinrong crying sadly and heard about his past with Zi Hua. She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
“Yue Jinrong remarried and had children less than a year after City Lord Zi died. Is this also called deep affection?”
It was an insult to her feelings!
Jun Mohuang suddenly wanted to laugh when she saw Yue Jinrong’s teary face.
Did Yue Jinrong really dote on Zi Shuilan this much? Then why was it that when Zi Shuilan appeared in an almost-dead state for half a month in the Forest Of A Thousand Illusions, Yue Jinrong barely had any reaction?
She wouldn’t believe that this was anything besides a scheme.
“Jun Mohuang, what do you know at such a young age? Don’t talk nonsense.”
“That’s right. City Lord Yue just lost his beloved son in pain, and you’re saying such sarcastic words here. You’re really hard-hearted!”
Jun Mohuang’s truth was severely reprimanded by the others.
Jun Mohuang shrugged and smiled speechlessly. She couldn’t be bothered with the Holy Fathers.
“City Lord, you must pull yourself together. The Young City Lord is still waiting for you to avenge him. I’ve already brought the Maze Mirror!”
In the Yue Family’s resting area, the in-charge helped Yue Jinrong up sadly.
“You’re right. I’ll avenge Shuilan!”
Seeing that the effect was almost there, Yue Jinrong cried for a while and wiped his tears dry. His sad expression had already been replaced by hatred.
He took the Maze Mirror from the manager and held the voice transmission stone again.
“Residents of the City of Beastmen, the thief dared to kill the Young City Lord and snatch the Purple Cloud Soul Essence. This person doesn’t care about our City of Beastmen at all. What do you think we should do after catching the thief!”
