âDifficult people?â âMadam Ye is my godmother, who gave you the guts to make such a ruckus?â
Although everyone was surprised, both Leng Yufeng and Han Xuanhao were secretly envious of Madam Ye. It seemed that she had easily gained Shangâs trust and love. Even Dauntless and the rest did not easily enter Shangâs heart.
Yi Yin was initially afraid of causing trouble for Shang, but now, hearing Shangâs unintentional attitude, she knew that this concubine was not worthy of Shangâs eyes. Suddenly, her young temper rose, and she taunted her, âMy son is the crown prince, do you still need me to bow to you?â
Fearless looked at Yi Yin, who was filled with fighting strength in an instant. He could not understand how the mother of such an extraordinary Master Ye could have such a different character. Other than the fact that the two of them looked alike, their characters were the opposite.
âYou!â Consort Qing was so angry that her face turned red. She said to Shang Wuxin in dissatisfaction, âThe crown prince is the head of the Eastern Palace, how can he randomly recognise relatives? Donât be like a mother to all sorts of cats and dogs. If the late empress found out about this, I donât know how she would grieve!â
Wu Dai and the others were angry at the insult given to them by Qing Fei, but on the other hand, Yi Yin herself was not angry at all. At her age, she had seen and heard a lot, and Yi Yinâs heart was already dead. These unpleasant words were not enough to make her angry.
When the spectators heard this, they all looked down on Imperial Concubineâs words. They felt that even the Empress was like a shrew. At this moment, Imperial Concubine Qing had already lost all sense of etiquette in the eyes of the crowd.
âSlap!â Shang Wuxin said calmly. Regardless of his relationship with Yi Yin, Shang had already declared her to be his godmother. Yet, she still ridiculed him like this. Shang had no intention of letting her go.
âHow dare you!â Qing Fei shouted in disbelief as she took a few steps back. Qing Fei felt that as long as Shang was not smart enough, he would know how to disguise himself. After all, everyone knew how powerful the common folk rumors were, and this was the reason why Qing Fei dared to act so arrogantly. She thought that Shang didnât have the heart to look back on her actions from the outside.
The Crown Prince didnât say that he would stop Dauntless, but at this time, the Prefect, who was standing there, couldnât stand still any longer. After all, he was one of the Duke of Qingâs men, so he hurriedly stepped forward to pull Dreadless away, but he was dodged by Dreadless.
Qing Fei looked incredulously at the blood on the palms covering her mouth. She was slapped on the face, and even the citizens were staring at her. Her sharp voice was ear-piercing. âYou dare to do this? You are a man who will kill with a thousand knives, someone who will not care about the recklessness of his elders, you will receive your retribution! â
Without waiting for Dauntless to make a move, Leng Yufeng took a step forward and threw a punch. Qing Fei not only had a bloody mouth but also a bloody nose. Shang Wuxin and the rest had heard the sound of a broken nose.
Leng Yufeng took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands clean before returning to Shangâs side without saying a word. However, no one could ignore his imposing aura. Many people also recognized that this person was General Leng. In an instant, there was a flurry of criticism.
âCrown Prince!â It was only now that this Prefect realized his fear. He was a man of the Duke of Qingâs side, so no one had dared to provoke him after so many years in the capital. Who would have thought that he would encounter such a situation today? He knew very well that even if the Crown Prince had let him go today, the Duke of Qing would not have let him go.
âKill them, let Mo Che send someone to take the top!â With a single sentence, Shang Wuxin was able to determine the fate of this prefect. Before the Prefect could rebel against Han Xuanhao, he had already exterminated the prefectâs life. The soldiers who wanted to resist had weapons in their hands, but they were frightened by the scene in front of them. They had never imagined that the red-clothed girl by the crown princeâs side would be so vicious.
Shang unwittingly walked out of the shop and into the carriage. Leng Yufeng and Han Xuanhao followed closely behind him, and Yi Yin got into the carriage as well. However, from the look on her face, it seemed that she was in a pretty good mood.
âUnintentional! This capital is really a mess!â Yi Yin sighed. It had been so long since she left the Snow Peak that she had almost forgotten about such a life of flattery and deceit. But since her heart had already stopped moving, she might as well live on with her husbandâs life.
Shang Wuxin was playing around with the jade pendant in her hands, âIf Aunt Yi Yin doesnât like the capital, then she can send you home!â This place is not safe after all! â Shang unintentionally found out from Yi Yinâs actions today that she was defending him. Otherwise, with her status, how could she allow Qing Fei to provoke her like that?
âIs Wuxin tired of these hateful aunts or is she nagging? âI didnât mean it. You should know that Aunty is the only one in the Snow Peak. Yizhi doesnât come back all year round. Iâm alone â¦â Yi Yin began to complain sorrowfully.
âIf you like it, you can stay for as long as you want!â Shang closed his eyes, obviously tired. He had worked so hard these past few days, if it were not for Yinyinâs incident, Shang Wuxin would not have come out.
A motherly love flashed past her eyes as she watched Shang Wuxin close her eyes. Who wouldnât care about this kind of child? Yiyin felt that she would be this childâs mother from now on, while Shang Wuxin and Ye Yizhe would be her children.
Han Xuanhao took off his veil and wrapped his arms around Shang Wuxin to let him rest. Leng Yufeng, who was one step too slow, could only stare at Shang Wuxinâs sleeping face, and at Han Xuanhaoâs provocative gaze.
By the time Shang Xin woke up, it was already midnight. At this time, Shang Wuxin was already in his bedroom, and Han Xuanhao, who slept beside Shang Wuxin when he woke up, was already awake, staring at Shang Wuxin with his long and narrow eyes.
âIâm awake. Are you hungry?â If Han Xuanhao had not been by Shang Wuxinâs side all this time, he would not have dared to close his eyes because he was afraid of what might have happened to Shang Wuxin.
Shang unwittingly nodded his head. However, he soon saw Han Xuanhao carrying some food into the bedroom. The two of them were sitting opposite to each other, having some plain porridge and some pastries. When Shang Xin put down the pastries gracefully, he suddenly said, âI want you to go to the Mist Country to investigate a force called the Temple!â
Mist Country is a very beautiful country. It is close to Shang State in all seasons and has always been at peace with Shang Country. Mist Country did indeed have a Templeâs power, but this Temple was one that existed in the Mist Country hundreds of years ago. At that time, the Temple was not only famous in Mist Country, but also on the entire continent. However, after some unknown reason, the Temple slowly retreated and then disappeared from the eyes of the people, never to be seen again.
âAlright!â Without any hesitation, Han Xuanhao nodded his head in agreement.
Seeing that Han Xuanhao was still eating, Shang had no appetite even if they were not fat. Han Xuanhao, who was thinner, was no exception. Shang Xin Wu picked up Han Xuanhaoâs favorite food and placed it into his bowl. With concern in his voice, he said, âDonât show off, you have to be perfectly fine!â
Han Xuanhao happily stuffed the food into his mouth while his head kept nodding. If it was before, Shang would never ask for his help, even if it was in exchange for benefits. Only after seeing this did Shang Bin feel at ease.
âIs there anything suspicious about the temple?â Han Xuanhao kept his bowl and chopsticks and walked out of the sleeping quarters with Shang Wuxin to eat and drink in the garden. He did not know the reason so he asked Han Xuanhao.
Shang Wuxinâs hand was held by Han Xuanhao. Upon hearing Han Xuanhaoâs question, he frowned and pondered, âItâs very suspicious!â And heâs probably not a friend! â It was precisely because Shang Wuxin was not sure that he had ordered Han Xuanhao to act. After all, only Han Xuanhao could handle the matters of the martial arts world.
Han Xuanhao thought about the matter of the temple, but found that there were no clues at all. If not for Shangâs mention of him today, perhaps Han Xuanhao would have forgotten that there was a force called the Temple on this continent. However, since Shang had brought it up, this could only mean that it was not a small matter.
After the two of them went back for a walk, they laid on the bed and Han Xuanhao reluctantly said, âLetâs go tomorrow morning! Iâll be back as soon as I can! But aside from Leng Yufeng, Nangong Qian, Ye Yi Zhe and Huan Mo Che, no one else is allowed! â Han Xuanhao could only accept these people. He would go crazy if he saw another man by Shang Wuxinâs side.
âI wonât!â
Just then, Shang Wuxin suddenly kissed Han Xuanhao, but Han Xuanhao was not as anxious as he usually was. He kissed Shang Wuxin back, but did not do anything. When Han Xuanhao held Shang Wuxin in his arms to calm his mind, he saw Shangâs questioning gaze.
It was unknown why Han Xuanhao felt that the cold and strong Shang Wuxin was like a pure child at this moment. Han Xuanhao bit on Shang Wuxinâs nose, but of course, he was unwilling to use too much strength. He sighed and said, âI want to keep it for myself so that I can enjoy it slowly. Besides, I only want to think of you because I love you!â
Shang Wuxin revealed a smile, like a rainbow after a storm, voluntarily leaned against Han Xuanhaoâs chest and closed his eyes.
âXin Er, good dream!â Han Xuanhao did not sleep at all. He only stood up when the sun was up. Even if he wanted to wake Shang Wuxin up, Han Xuanhao was reluctant to do so. He put on his clothes and headed out.
âCome back safely!â The voice behind him made Han Xuanhao suddenly burst into a smile.
âWait for my return!â Han Xuanhao did not turn back. He was afraid that he would not be willing to leave. He was reluctant because he loved Han Xuanhao. But because he knew that there was only Shang who had no heart in this world, the road ahead was no longer lonely.
