After giving instructions, Feng Ruqing turned toward Nan Xian and immediately a smile appeared on his face.
The smile was as gorgeous as a work of art.
“State Preceptor.”
“Yes?”
“The strength of the people in Fengyun Manor may be weaker. In order to avoid the people of the Divine Herbs Sect taking away Gu Zhenyang, can you help me to keep an eye on him?”
The state preceptor could bring Gu Zhenyang out of the Divine Herbs Sect. It seemed only he could guard Gu Zhenyang well.
“Okay.” The corners Nan Xian’s lips raised slightly and he could not refuse any of her requests.
Lei Yun and others who were considered weak stood at the side, speechless.
“Xiao Qing, I’ll come with you.”
Tang Yin saw that Feng Ruqing was going to leave. She was anxious and quickly chased after Feng Ruqing.
“Yin’er!”
Tang Si’s tone was filled with sorrow as he pleaded behind Tang Yin.
“I am wrong. We are wrong. Please… please don’t abandon the Tang family…”
Tang Yin paused, but she still left without turning back.
Only the people of the Tang family were left behind and they all fell into despair.
Tang San sighed. “This is the house master and Tang Yu’s sins, but now the Tang family has to pay for them.”
It was a pity that he was not in the Tang family that day, nor did he know about the disputes between the Tang children and Tang Yin. What had caused her to be such a heartless person?
Soon after Feng Ruqing left, the people of the Divine Herbs Sect arrived.
These people were previously sent by Gu Zhenyang to destroy the Tang family. However, Nan Xian was too fast and had reached Yue City before they did. That was why they were late.
But…
With Nan Xian there, the people of the Divine Herbs Sect could not save Gu Zhenyang. They could only reluctantly watch him take Gu Zhenyang away.
Gu Zhenyang’s footsteps were very slow. His eyes were fixed on the Rong Yan’s back. He wanted her figure to be firmly engraved in her mind for fear that he would not be able to see her again…
“Yan’er. I am satisfied that I can see you again in this life.”
No regrets anymore.
In the meantime, Gu Zhenyang reminisced that day when Rong Yan led the soldiers into Long Ao Kingdom, forcing the Emperor Long Ao to surrender the great prince, who wanted to kill the people.
At that time, she was n.o.ble and elegant but at the same time domineering.
She never found out that he was standing in the crowd watching the play.
But he… had engraved her fascinating figure in his heart and got involved in her life—doomed never to leave her life again.
If there was an afterlife…
‘I no longer regard life as an ant—something small and meaningless.
‘I no longer want to force you by hurting your loved ones.
‘I will not force you to take it away.
‘If I was fair and compet.i.tive, would you have chosen me?’
No one could answer his questions.
Even the wind was so calm, breezing through his hair, but the grief in his heart still remained…
On the battlefield.
The sunset was beautiful.
The blood stained the sand red. The soldiers collapsed into pools of blood as they piled up like mountains.
War had always been brutal and b.l.o.o.d.y. No one liked to fight.
But these border warriors gave up their hope in reuniting with their families; gave up their peaceful life and chose to stay at the border.
… just to protect the country and the people.
The strongmen of all countries could enter the city without going through the border. Hence, Liu Yun Kingdom would be in danger.
However, the enemy troops had no way to invade and must pa.s.s by the border.
Therefore, they must fight to the death and resist these people.
