In a small manor in Under Mar, Li Huailin and Fedavina were waiting for news from the Sword Saint. Li Huailin had already spread out all the information he could. If Sword Saint Dashe was really concerned about the situation in the country, he should have already received the news and rushed back. However, he was afraid that he was in some remote place like a mountain. Who knew how long it would take for him to receive the news.
Sword Saint Dashe's house was very simple. It was hard to imagine that this was a house where the guardian of the country lived. It felt like no one had lived in it. Although the furniture was dust-free and probably taken care of regularly, there was not a single item of daily necessities or even a change of clothes. It seemed like this Sword Saint really didn't go home.
"Duke of Aquitaine, what do we do now?" This was at least the tenth time that Weena had asked this question. They waited from day to night, but Sword Saint Dashe still hadn't appeared. Sounds of people looking for someone kept coming from outside, making them very nervous.
"Let's stay here for the night." Li Huailin thought about it and said. If the Sword Saint didn't come back for the night, he was probably in a remote place and didn't know the news. In that case, Li Huailin could only think of another way. He couldn't keep waiting. "If you don't see him after one night, you can only hide in my Duke's Mansion for a while and wait for the Sword Saint to come back and find you."
"This … is good." Weena thought about it and nodded. This was a good idea. After all, Li Huailin's Duke's Mansion was absolutely safe. No matter how powerful the Revolutionary Army was, they couldn't go there to capture people. Li Huailin only wanted to see the Sword Saint. Now that the only heir of the Empire was with him, Sword Saint Dashe would come to him sooner or later. It was just that he didn't know how long it would take.
"Cough cough …" Feda, who was at the side, had probably exercised for too long today, and had also received a shock. His current physical condition was not very good. His already pale face was even more abnormal. Li Huailin was a little worried that this guy would suddenly die. If he died now, it would be terrible.
"Feida, are you alright?" Weena immediately grew nervous as well. She hurried over to check on Feida.
At this moment, sparse sounds suddenly came from the entrance of the manor. The three people inside who were constantly paying attention to the situation outside immediately became alert.
Li Huailin immediately walked to the window and looked out. There were many figures with lit torches at the entrance of the manor. They didn't look like they were just passing by, but walking inside.
"Looks like no one dares search Sword Saint Dashe's house," Li Huailin said.
"How could it be!" Weena also became nervous. If they were caught now, she and her son would undoubtedly be executed. She didn't expect the Revolutionary Army to be so thorough that they even dared to search Sword Saint Dashe's house.
Although she hoped that they wouldn't come in and would just pass by, Weena's hopes were dashed. Soon, the manor's door was opened, and a large group of people with torches rushed in. Li Huailin stood at the window and looked down. He was very familiar with the leader. It was Hilda. It seemed like she had guessed where Weena and her son were and brought people here.
"Prince Fedavina, Princess Weena, there's no need to hide. We know you're inside. We've surrounded this place." Dominian, who was next to Hilda, raised his torch and shouted in the direction of the manor. "Come out, or we'll go in and search."
"Looks like we can't hide." Li Huailin smiled. This was really a little troublesome. It was easy for him to kill these people, but the problem was that it was very difficult for him to keep this mother and son alive.
"They … They won't dare to come in." Weena still had one last hope. She hoped that the Revolutionary Army wouldn't dare to search the house under the deterrence of Sword Saint Dashe. However, she was obviously thinking too much. If the Revolutionary Army didn't succeed, they would all die. Who would care so much about that?
Seeing that there was no response from inside the house, the people at the door couldn't hold it in anymore. Dominian nodded at Hilda and immediately walked toward the front door of the house. It seemed like he was going to open the door and search.
Weena and Fedavina, who were secretly observing from inside the house, felt their hearts in their throats. Weena subconsciously grabbed onto Li Huailin's shoulder and trembled.
Just as Dominian's hand was about to touch the front door, a clear shout came from the sky. Although it wasn't loud, it sounded very powerful. Everyone suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat. Dominian, who was about to open the door, suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Before everyone could understand what was going on, a figure suddenly descended vertically from the sky and landed in front of the main entrance in an instant, right in front of Dominian. Everyone was stunned, including Li Huailin. Everyone immediately looked at the figure.
The person who descended from the sky was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties. He was slightly short, but looked very sturdy. His hair was very neatly combed, with strands of black hair sticking straight to the back. He looked very spirited. This person wasn't wearing any armor. He was only wearing ordinary cloth clothes, but he didn't move. His entire body exuded a threatening aura, just like an unsheathed sword.
What surprised Li Huailin was that the person's name was written in green above his head: Dashe Zoyle. He was the Sword Sage that Li Huailin was looking for. Li Huailin wasn't surprised that he would appear. After all, he had been waiting for him here. What surprised him was the man's age.
His current mentor, Weeden, looked to be over 60 years old. His hair was almost white, but his master, the Sword Sage Dashe, Li Huailin, looked to be at most in his fifties. How could these two be master and disciple?
"Sword Sage Dashe …" Hilda couldn't help but blurt out, her expression flustered.
"Sword Sage Dashe!" The Revolutionary Army behind them was also in an uproar. The person they didn't want to see the most was Sword Sage Dashe. Now, he was right in front of them. This was the first thought that came to everyone's mind. No one wanted to fight him because the result was obvious.
"Hilda …" Suddenly, Sword Sage Dashe spoke to Hilda. He even called out Hilda's name. Everyone was stunned.
"Hello, Grandpa." Hilda's answer stunned everyone. Even they didn't know that Sacred Swordsman Dashe was their leader's maternal grandfather. Although many of them knew that Hilda was a member of the Zoyle Family, they thought that she was just a small branch of the Zoyle Family. But now that they found out that she was Sacred Swordsman Dashe's granddaughter, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Why did you do such a thing?" Sword Sage Dashe said in a tone of an elder. There was no joy or anger in his tone. No one knew whose side he was on at all.
"Because we, the Zoyle family, can't continue to make mistakes." Although Hilda was facing Sword Sage Dashe, she didn't back down. She plucked up her courage and replied, "The Zoyle family is no longer the great Saint Descaran Zoyle who built a kingdom from scratch. Now, the Zoyle family has completely become a parasite of the country. They live by sucking the blood and sweat of the people. As a member of this family, I can't let them continue like this. This is my responsibility and my profession."
"Hmm …" Sword Sage Dashe nodded slightly and said, "You've grown up a lot since you said that. However, you're still too naive. It's not so simple to determine who's right and who's wrong. Go back and leave the palace with your people. Leave before tomorrow morning."
"What if I refuse?" Hilda plucked up her courage and asked.
In an instant, Sword Sage Dashe's body erupted with an astonishing aura. About 50 soldiers of the Revolutionary Army in front of him all sat on the ground in an instant. Their weapons fell to the ground. It was as if everyone had lost the courage to stand up in an instant.
"I said, leave. In this country, no one can bargain with me. Hilda, you too!" Sword Sage Dashe said solemnly.
"Ugh …" Hilda was the only one who hadn't fallen. However, just standing had almost exhausted all her strength. She also knew that she and her grandfather weren't on the same level at all. If her grandfather really got serious, the people here wouldn't be able to hold on for even a minute.
But was she going to give up just like that? Hilda was indignant. Her goal was right in front of her, and she was only one step away. Was it really that difficult to do something for the people?
"Hey, since you're a family, don't quarrel." At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded. Everyone felt relieved. They looked up and saw that the person who spoke was naturally Li Huailin, who was on the second floor.
"Duke of Aquitaine!" Hilda said in surprise. "Why are you here? Could it be …"
"Well, I'm a very good person. Now, I'll help you solve your family dispute." Li Huailin smiled, then reached out and pulled the Fifth Prince Feida, who hadn't reacted yet. Under everyone's surprised gaze, Li Huailin directly swung his sword and pierced through Feida's heart.
"See, all the problems have been solved," Li Huailin said with a smile.
