Lotus Garden.
"Mother!" Zi Yao was overjoyed.
Tears fell from her eyes, but they were tears of joy. The stone in her heart had been completely lifted.
Lin Feng stood with a smile. Everyone, including Thousand Love Empress, Shi Zhixin, and Jin Ji, had a smile on their faces. This time, they had survived a disaster and were in extreme danger. Although they had gone through a lot, it was a happy ending. It was worth celebrating.
"I'm sorry. Mother has implicated you, daughter," Zi Ru Xian said in a soft and apologetic voice.
"Why are you saying this, mother?" Zi Yao smiled.
Zi Ru Xian shook her head. "It's all mother's fault. If I hadn't been held hostage, you wouldn't have had to compromise and marry Old Monster Yin Ze." Biting her lips, Zi Ru Xian sighed. "Three days ago, if I hadn't been too ashamed to see you, Zi Manlou wouldn't have taken advantage of me."
"It's alright, mother. There's no need to be so calculative between mother and daughter," Zi Yao said softly.
"That's right, auntie. Let bygones be bygones," Jin Ji said with a smile.
Everyone didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Shi Zhixin reprimanded with a smile, "This is other people's family matter. Why are you butting in?"
"Brother Jin is right." Lin Feng nodded with a smile. "There's no overnight enmity between family members. Let's erase what happened in the past. What's important is the present. Family reunion is more important than anything else."
Zi Ru Xian turned around and looked at Lin Feng with a complicated gaze. "Lin Feng, you don't hate me?"
Lin Feng smiled. "You're Zi Yao's mother, so you're my mother. Don't worry, mother. I won't let you suffer again."
Pursing her lips, Zi Ru Xian looked at Lin Feng with a myriad of emotions.
She was the one who had forcefully separated Zi Yao and Lin Feng that day. However, looking back today, it was this lowly human that she had looked down on. Not only had he saved her daughter, but he had also saved her. Now, she was one of the four giants of the Underworld. Thinking of everything she had done, Zi Ru Xian felt her cheeks burn with shame.
"I …" Zi Ruxian looked at Lin Feng, her voice choked with emotion.
"That's enough, Mother. Let's not talk about the past anymore." Lin Feng looked at Zi Ruxian and knew what she wanted to say.
He hadn't asked Zi Yao about the matter of the Kingdom of Maru, and Zi Yao hadn't mentioned it either. However, he knew that with Zi Yao's personality, she must have left him because of her family. If it wasn't Yue Yin, then it was Zi Ruxian. Previously, he had always thought that it was Yue Yin, but now it seemed …
It seemed to be Zi Ruxian.
However, looking at it from Zi Ruxian's perspective, she did not do anything wrong.
At that time, he was indeed not worthy of Zi Yao.
There was no point in blaming the heavens and blaming others. If one wasn't worthy, then one should work hard to improve oneself and sublimate oneself. He didn't want to be looked down upon by others. He didn't want to curse others in his heart. He didn't want to feel sorry for himself. He didn't want to dispiritedly give up on making others sympathize with him. Instead, he turned it into motivation and continued to move forward.
Fate was in one's own hands.
"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore." Tears welled up in Zi Ruxian's eyes and she smiled. "I'm very satisfied. I'm really satisfied."
Lin Feng smiled and looked at Zi Yao. Their eyes met and they smiled.
Everything was in the past.
…
Zi Yao and Zi Ruxian went into the house to rest.
Although this storm had been resolved without shedding a drop of blood, their hearts were extremely tired, especially Zi Ruxian. She had received successive blows. Not only was her body and mind exhausted, but she also felt guilty towards her daughter and Lin Feng. All sorts of emotions were mixed together.
Right now, Zi Yao was more concerned about comforting her mother.
"Thank you, Empress Qian." Lin Feng looked at Empress Qian Lian and nodded with a smile.
If it wasn't for her help this time, the consequences would have been unimaginable. It was her calmness and planning that allowed him to save Zi Ruxian in the end. In terms of merit, she bore the brunt of it. He owed her too much.
"It's just a small matter." Empress Qian Lian didn't take credit and said with a smile.
"That's right. Brother Lin, you're being too polite. We're companions, we're on the same side!" Jin Ji patted his chest and said proudly.
"Tsk, shameless. What merit did you make this time?" Shi Zhixin muttered at the side.
"What did you say!" Jin Ji immediately turned his head and said angrily, "I helped Brother Lin bring him to the teleportation array. It's better than you crying over there."
"When did I cry over there!" Shi Zhixin put her hands on her hips and glared angrily.
…
The two enemies quickly quarreled again.
Lin Feng and Empress Qian Lian looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. They were already used to it. If the two of them didn't quarrel for a day, they would feel uncomfortable. However, they didn't know that the more they quarreled, the deeper their feelings became.
"By the way, Lin Feng, what do you plan to do next?" Empress Qian Lian suddenly asked.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up and said in a deep voice, "With Zi Manlou's character, he will definitely not let it go. He's good at controlling the situation in his own hands. Although he failed today and couldn't capture Zi Ru Xian, he will definitely think of other methods. Since he knows that I want to deal with him, he won't sit still and wait for death. "
Empress Qian Lian nodded, "We have to take the initiative."
"But this person is very cunning. He's hiding in the Loulan Country. I can't go deep into the enemy's den and take his life." Lin Feng frowned. "Even if I can kill him, I'm afraid I can't leave the Loulan Country."
"That's true." Empress Qian Lian said softly. Her beautiful eyes flickered as she muttered, "If we were Zi Manlou, what would we do in this situation?"
Enter the role!
Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed.
Closing his eyes, he instantly entered the role of Zi Manlou. His mind was filled with thoughts.
There were two possibilities!
They could either endure for now and hide in the Loulan Country.
Or they could think of a way to get rid of him so that they wouldn't have to worry about him in the future.
However, Zi Manlou obviously didn't have any hope of getting rid of him with their strength. Now that he was one of the four great leaders of the Netherworld, Zi Manlou had almost no pawns to use to kill him. Even if the Loulan Emperor wanted to deal with him, he had to go through the Emperor of the Dead.
It was impossible to rely on their strength.
However …
"He must have a 'sinister' plan. For example, he could threaten me like how he kidnapped Zi Ru Xian," Lin Feng thought to himself.
However, other than Zi Ru Xian, what other methods did he have?
His family was in the Kingdom of Maru. No matter how good Zi Manlou's intelligence network was, they wouldn't be able to find anything that could threaten him. Only Zi Yao and Zi Ru Xian, who were now in the Imperial Garden. However, the Imperial Garden was in Yan Imperial City and was very safe.
As for the Purple Moon Clan …
Wait!
Lin Feng's expression changed. He suddenly opened his eyes. Empress Qian Lian was also looking at him with her beautiful eyes.
He almost missed the most important person!
…
…
In the Loulan Country.
"Bang!" "Rumble!" The round table made of pure dark gold was smashed into pieces.
It was a waste of at least a thousand Wu Coins, but now it was just a place for him to vent his anger. Zi Manlou's eyes were red. He no longer had his refreshing smile. Only his eyes were still vicious and sinister. He was like a venomous snake hiding in the dark. Now, he had already revealed his scarlet tongue.
It was extremely terrifying!
His subordinates stood at the side in a daze. They trembled secretly and didn't dare to say a word.
Everyone could see that Zi Manlou's anger was on the verge of exploding. Not long ago, Zi Yong's kidnapping of Zi Ru Xian had been exposed. It was a complete failure. Now, the fate of the ten experts led by Zi Yong was unknown. Zi Ru Xian was nowhere to be seen.
The result was obvious.
If she wanted to return, she would have returned long ago.
After such a long delay, the answer was obvious.
"Damn it!" Zi Manlou gritted his teeth. He didn't hide the anger in his eyes.
Since his last call with Zi Yong, he'd had a bad feeling about the situation, and it was as he'd expected. Not only had he failed to kidnap Zi Ruxian, he'd even offended one of the Four Great Leaders of the Netherworld, Lin Yun. The current situation was extremely dangerous for him!
"Master, why don't we hide for a while?" Zi Lin said hesitantly. As Zi Manlou's first disciple, he was the only one who dared to persuade him.
"Trash!" Zi Manlou glared at him with anger and disdain. "We can hide for a while, but not forever. How long can I hide? Can I hide in the Loulan Kingdom for the rest of my life? If word gets out, I will lose face! "
"Why don't we …" Zi Lin hesitated but didn't say anything.
He wanted his master to apologize to Lin Yun. However, considering his master's personality, he definitely wouldn't lower his head. Therefore, he didn't say anything.
He didn't want to anger his master. It would be bad for him.
"Lin Feng!" Zi Manlou clenched his fists so hard that his veins popped out.
Lin Feng's sinister eyes flashed. Just as Lin Feng expected, since Zi Manlou's plan did not work, he would naturally think of other ways. It was impossible to make him yield. Just from the fact that he sacrificed Zi Yao to curry favor with Old Monster Yin Ze, one could tell that he was very ambitious.
He would do anything by fair means or foul!
Soon —
"Zi Lin!" Zi Manlou shouted.
"Yes, Master." Zi Lin cupped his hands.
"Contact Zi Yuan immediately!" Zi Manlou said with a deep gaze.
"Yes." Zi Lin's expression didn't change. He immediately dialed Zi Yuan's number. However … there was only a rapid beeping sound. There was no response from the other end of the communication compass. Obviously, Zi Yuan's communication compass was turned off.
"Bastard!" Zi Manlou gritted his teeth and shouted, "Contact Zi Fengtian."
"Yes, Master."
…
Imperial Garden:
"It's here." Lin Feng's eyes brightened.
A communication number appeared clearly on the compass in his left hand. Lin Feng pressed the call button.
"Hello, Patriarch." Lin Feng Ran smiled and a light flashed in his eyes.
"He has indeed made this move. It is just as you and I predicted."
…
"A crafty rabbit has three burrows. No matter how smart Zi Manlou is, he has no other way out.
"Everyone knows that he wants to kill me. Perhaps he is indeed sinister and vicious enough. However, he lacks the most important trait of a formidable person …
"He is too impatient."
…
"Alright, let's carry out the original plan."
Lin Feng's eyes brightened. He immediately hung up and ended the call with Patriarch Zi Yuan.
His eyes flashed. He clenched his fists.
Finally, the opportunity he had been waiting for was here!
"Zi Manlou, it is time for you to die." Lin Feng's voice was deep and firm.
