The guards took a step forward with their spears.
“Stop!” The Third Elder said.
The guards paused.
Ye Yang stood up and looked at them covetously. “I’m here. I want to see who dares to touch a single hair on my mother!”
Everyone looked at each other and could not help but look at the Third Elder.
The Sorcerer King and the Sorcerer Queen had long been incompatible. Without the Sorcerer Queen’s order, the Third Elder understood that he could arrest her, but Ye Yang was different. As long as the Sorcerer King did not give the order, the Third Elder would not dare to act rashly.
Just as the scene fell into a dilemma, the Sorcerer King arrived.
This was the first time the Sorcerer King appeared gracefully in front of others after he recovered. His poisonous sores were gone, and he had regained his usual appearance. However, compared to ten years ago, there were traces of time at the corners of his eyes and lips.
“Hong Luan, bring Ye Yang back to his bedchamber,” the Sorcerer King instructed coldly.
Hong Luan looked at the Sorcerer Queen imperceptibly. Seeing the Sorcerer Queen nod slightly, she bowed and agreed. “Yes.”
Hong Luan held Ye Yang’s arm.
“I’m not leaving!” Ye Yang struggled.
The Sorcerer King’s eyes moved, and Ye Yang’s eyes froze for a moment. He immediately stopped struggling and obediently left with Hong Luan.
Li Ruo lowered her eyes, feeling very upset. Why was it Hong Luan who brought Ye Yang back to the bedchamber? Usually, she was closer to Ye Yang, and she was the maidservant that His Highness Ye Yang trusted more.
Hong Luan and Ye Yang being together meant that the Sorcerer King would also spare Hong Luan’s life. As for herself, it was hard to say. “You guys, stand down first,” the Sorcerer King said to the Third Elder.
“Yes!” The Third Elder left with the guards.
Li Ruo wished that the Sorcerer Queen would let her leave too. That way, she could find an opportunity to escape. Unfortunately, the Sorcerer Queen did not say a word.
The Sorcerer King said, “I won’t kill you. You’re Ye Yang’s mother. I don’t want
him to become a motherless child, but you can’t escape punishment.”
The Sorcerer Queen laughed in surprise and self-deprecation. “So my husband dotes on Ye Yang so much. For him, you can actually let go of a thorn in your side.”
The Sorcerer King said, “I’ve never treated you as a thorn in my side. I want to deal with you because you’ve offended the clan’s rules.”
The Sorcerer Queen sneered. “The clan’s rules? Is a Sorcerer King who has fallen in love with the Sacred Clan qualified to discuss the clan’s rules with me here?”
The Sorcerer King said firmly, “Ah Yan has never done anything outrageous. She just happens to be from the Sacred Clan.”
“Is that so?” The Sorcerer Queen laughed crazily. “Do you believe this? Have you forgotten how she infiltrated the Sorcerer Clan and seduced a married man like you?”
A trace of mockery flashed across the Sorcerer King’s eyes. “A married man? Wen Linlang, you know very well what our marriage is about. You don’t need me to help you remember! Also, Ah Yan didn’t seduce me. Before we got married, I had already gotten married to Ah Yan in the Sorcerer Temple. Ah Yan is my legitimate wife!”
“You’re spouting nonsense!” The Sorcerer Queen clenched her fists.
The Sorcerer King looked into her eyes without dodging at all. “I’m not spouting nonsense. You just don’t believe me! Why do you have to marry me? I have someone in my heart, and I’ve already married that person. Even if I marry you, you’re not my first wife!”
Back then, the Sorcerer King’s rejection of the marriage ruthlessly flashed across the Sorcerer Queen’s mind. She felt that her body was on the verge of collapse, as if she could fall off the phoenix seat at any time.
The past was unbearable to look back on. The Sorcerer King did not want to reminisce about the past, nor did he feel that he was innocent. Back then, he was not strong enough to protect Ah Yan and had no choice but to compromise with the family and the Elder Hall. He did not say it to Wen Linlang because there was no need to say it explicitly. Wen Linlang would not believe him.
Even now, he was not sure if Wen Linlang had really listened to him. However, no matter what, he would never see Wen Linlang again.
Outside the house, it suddenly started to rain.
The Sorcerer King turned around and looked over. A trace of disappointment appeared on his face. “The first time I saw Ah Yan was on such a rainy day.” He held an umbrella and slowly walked on the misty street. Suddenly, a little girl in purple b.u.mped into him.
“Sorry, I didn’t bring an umbrella! I was just dodging!” On her young face, the rain was like pearls, and she had bright eyes and white teeth.
Ten thousand years at a glance.
“Go to the Reflection Cliff.” Death would end everything. Living in pain was sometimes the cruelest punishment. The Sorcerer King turned around and left.
“Your Majesty!” Wen Linlang stopped him. “Do you still remember fifteen years ago… when you gave a girl an umbrella?”
The Sorcerer King frowned. “I don’t remember.”
Wen Linlang smiled foolishly until tears came out. She was holding the pendant on the umbrella in her palm.
He had ten thousand years in a glance, but wasn’t she the same?
She was indignant! She did not believe that! They had been husband and wife for more than ten years!
“Your Majesty, have you…”
“No.” The Sorcerer King interrupted her coldly. “I’ve never liked you, not once.” The Sorcerer Queen’s voice trembled. “Then why did you marry me…?”
The Sorcerer King said coldly, “Your Wen family forced me. In order to give Ah Yan the antidote, I can marry a man.”
Wen Linlang finally couldn’t take it anymore. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
In the sunny courtyard, three little black eggs ran around the lawn holding wooden swords.
“Hit, hit, hit, hit!” Xiaobao shouted.
“Ha!” Er’bao shouted.
Dabao did not scream. He just pounced over domineeringly and pressed his two younger brothers down.
Xiaobao and Er’bao rolled their eyes and stuck out their tongues!
In the room, Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan stood quietly behind the window and looked at the few little fellows fooling around.
Yan Jiuchao placed his hands behind his back and said stiffly, “I think it’s very necessary to tell you about Dabao, Er’bao, and Xiaobao. That’s right. As you can see, they’re my sons.”
Yu Wan waved her hand. “I know, I know. From now on, they’re also my sons. I’ll treat them as my own!” When you were the Ghost King, you had already told me this. I was already familiar with it, okay?
Yan Jiuchao said seriously, “You don’t understand. They’re just your brothers. You better put away those thoughts you shouldn’t have. You’ll never be able to replace her!”
“Which her?” Yu Wan raised her eyebrows.
Yan Jiuchao looked forward to it. “The her in my heart..”
