Nalan Zhangqian asked helplessly, “Father, if I’m a bastard, then who are you?”
Nalan Hu did not know how to respond to that.
Nalan Hu did not answer his question. It was because he had raised his hand and given Nalan Zhangqian a second slap.
“You… bastard…”
Nalan Hu wanted to scold Nalan Zhangqian more but in the end, he swallowed what he wanted to say.
Nalan Zhangqian’s body was shaky but there was a smile on his face. He seemed to be not worried anymore.
“Father, you’re finally here. It’s so good. I know that much has happened in the imperial city. You would surely come and rescue me at the earliest hour after you have resolved the disaster in the imperial city. Our Nalan soldiers could now be spared from death. It’s so good…”
Nalan Hu was stunned.
He coughed awkwardly. “You’re my son. How would I forget about you? You be careful next time. If you want to self-destruct again, I’ll definitely kill you myself!”
Nalan Zhangqian coughed twice. His face was pale and it seemed like he would faint anytime now.
Nalan Hu’s facial expression changed. He scolded angrily, “Feng Qing, you villain! How dare you hurt my son and grandson. I’ll kill you today. Otherwise, I’ll have the same surname as my son!”
Feng Qing did not know how to respond to that.
‘Don’t you have the same surname as your son?’
Feng Qing looked at Nalan Hu before turning to the three masters behind him. His facial expression worsened.
“Why are you still alive? Why?”
There were numerous warriors gathered at the imperial city of Liu Yun Kingdom. ‘How come Nalan Hu is still alive?’
Nalan Hu turned to Feng Qing. He was angry.
“All Nalan soldiers listen to my order! Kill! Kill every enemy! Take revenge for our deceased companions!”
The soldiers were in despair before Nalan Hu appeared. Otherwise, they would not have chosen to self-destruct.
But, his appearance gave hope to every soldier. Their fighting spirit peaked.
“Kill every enemy from the four kingdoms! Boost our Liu Yun Kingdom’s dignity!”
‘We’re the soldiers of Liu Yun Kingdom!
‘We’ll neer allow anyone to humiliate our Liu Yun Kingdom!
‘We’ll never forgive anybody who invaded our Liu Yun Kingdom!’

Qing Yuan stopped walking.
He shook his head and sighed softly.
“It seems that they don’t need our help anymore. Ziyan, let’s go.”
Ziyan lowered her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly. Her breathing was heavy and there was a cloud in her eyes.
‘How come the Nalan family could escape this time…’
But, there was still a lot of time. She could take her revenge on the Nalan family when she entered Feng Yun Manor in the future.
There was a soft smile on Ziyan’s face. She seemed like a person who had achieved what she wanted.
‘Nalan Jing, there’s a vast difference between us.
‘I left you so that I could marry a person from Feng Yun Manor.
‘Without me, you can marry a minister’s daughter from the secular world in the future.
‘The marriage between us was forced and arranged by others. That day, your aunt brought along her soldiers and attacked our Long Ao Kingdom. My father had no choice but to offer me as a peace offering. Now, there’s no more Nalan Yan in the Liu Yun Kingdom. It was understandable that I broke off our engagement.
‘If you want to blame somebody, just blame yourself for being weak. You can’t have a good woman like me.’
Qing Yuan turned and he did not look at the war behind him again.
But, a familiar presence came toward him. It seemed that many years had passed and that presence appeared in front of him again.
