"Master, Madam Fu Lingxi has come to visit." Zhuang Zhixuan came in to report.
Søren was startled. Why would Fu Lingxi come to save Fang Qingyi at this time?
There was no need for that. Everyone knew that Søren couldn't have killed Fang Qingyi, and there was nothing for them to talk about. Søren could just capture him and torture him to vent his anger.
"Let him in!" Søren said.
Fu Lingxi, who seemed to have grown up in reverse, was elegant and charming. Even her every step was as elegant as a textbook.
Arriving in front of Søren, Fu Lingxi meticulously bowed: "Greetings, Your Excellency Duke Regent."
Søren said: "Madam Fu Lingxi, what's the matter?"
Fu Lingxi said: "It's about my father. Recently, Your Excellency Duke has won a great victory and has successfully overcome the financial crisis. There's no point in keeping my father in prison. Your Excellency Duke, please take pity on his old age and release him! "
Speaking of which, besides venting his anger, capturing Marquis Fu Er was more important to find out why he followed Zhi Li to the end and what was the secret behind it.
He didn't expect that such a major incident would occur during this period of time, causing Søren to throw this matter to the back of his mind.
After hearing Fu Lingxi's words, Søren couldn't help but ask: "What does Fu Er's matter have to do with the recent crisis? What he has committed is a great crime of treason and cannot be pardoned. "
Fu Lingxi calmly said: "What conditions do you have to release my father? Please tell me, Your Excellency Duke."
Søren said: "It's very simple. With Marquis Fu Er's cunning, how could he have gone crazy with Zhi Li at the last moment? He didn't even have time to draw a clear line between them. There must be some unspeakable reason behind this. As long as you tell me the reason why Marquis Fu Er went crazy with Zhi Li to the end? "
Fu Lingxi shook her head: "There's no reason. It's just that the binding is too deep and I can't escape anymore. "
Søren sneered and waved his hand. "Madam Fu Lingxi, please help yourself."
Fu Lingxi raised her beautiful eyes and gazed deeply at Søren. "Søren, you are my son, and Fu E is your biological grandfather."
Søren was a little confused because Fu Lingxi's voice was unprecedentedly soft and had a hint of sadness. In short, it was very strange.
Søren said, "When you wanted to put me to death, did you ever think that I was your son?"
Fu Lingxi was silent for a moment before she said, "Søren, can I say something despicable?"
"Mm," Søren said.
Fu Lingxi said, "There's a saying that goes, 'Despicable are the practitioners of the despicable, noble are the epitaphs of the noble.' So let's say that Fu E and I are the despicable, and you are the noble. Does that mean that you need to have a higher moral standard? "
Søren couldn't believe his ears when he heard this.
To think that Fu Lingxi would say something like that. It was too … too shocking.
Such blatant shamelessness, she actually dared to say it. Weren't the people of the Dragon Temple incomparably pure and holy on the surface?
Søren said, "What you mean is that you are the despicable, so only you are allowed to use despicable means to deal with me? And I am the noble, so I have to repay evil with good, no matter what you have done to me, I have to tolerate you? Because you are my mother, and Fu E is my maternal grandfather? "
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean." Fu Lingxi's voice was still incomparably gentle and elegant, but she had said the most shameless words in the world.
Søren was really horrified and couldn't believe his ears.
Was Fu Lingxi crazy? She didn't even want her usual elegant face?
Søren calmed down and said, "If I did that, what would be the use? Would you show mercy the next time you deal with me? "
"I don't know," Fu Lingxi said, "Perhaps it can be exchanged for a trace of warmth and guilt from the bottom of our hearts."
Søren got down from his seat and walked in front of Fu Lingxi. He looked deeply into her eyes, trying to find something from them.
However, there was only silence in those eyes, without any fluctuations.
"Fu Lingxi, I have a vague feeling that my shaking of my head this time will bring about huge consequences," Søren said slowly.
Then, he shook his head solemnly and said, "But I still have to tell you, no! I will not release Marquis Fu E. I am not a noble person, and you should not expect me to repay evil with good. "
"Phew …" Fu Lingxi let out a long breath, then nodded and said, "I understand."
She, what did she mean by that? She was relieved that Søren had rejected her.
"Goodbye." Just like that, Fu Lingxi left gracefully.
Søren was completely confused. Fu Lingxi seemed to have specially come to listen to Søren's rejection.
…
Accompanied by Princess Jung Yeon, Fang Qingdi and Ji Mengbai of the Hidden Island went to see Fang Qingzhuo.
Ji Mengbai had a noble temperament, but he didn't speak much. After seeing Princess Jung Yeon, he only bowed and called her junior sister, and didn't say anything else.
After the sisters met, Fang Qingzhuo was very cold, but Fang Qingdi was very affectionate and kept talking about how she had missed her all these years.
Fang Qingzhuo said coldly, "If you have something to say, say it. Don't beat around the bush."
Fang Qingdi was interrupted, but she wasn't angry. She said gently, "Sister, Father asked me to bring you and the children back."
"Back to where?" Fang Qingzhuo said.
"Of course to the Hidden Island." Fang Qingdi said, "That's your home."
"No, this is my home." Fang Qingzhuo said coldly, "You people of the Hidden Island are really forgetful. Not long ago, you sent people to assassinate me, and now you want me to go back."
Fang Qingdi said gently, "Sister, that was just Fang Qingyi's own decision."
Fang Qingzhuo shook her head and said, "No, I definitely won't go back. This is my home."
Fang Qingdi's beautiful face showed a trace of sadness and said, "Sister, go back. No one will try to assassinate you anymore. Zhi Li … is already dead."
As soon as she said this, Fang Qingzhuo's delicate body trembled.
She thought that after hearing this answer, she wouldn't feel any sadness. However, the sadness was still like the sea, gushing over endlessly and invading her whole body.
Fang Qingdi said, "He confessed everything and dragged our Hidden Island and Fengdu Holy Temple down with him. After confessing, he committed suicide. "
Fang Qingzhuo was so sad that she couldn't speak.
Fang Qingdi said, "Sister, Zhi Li might have done many things to let you down. But at the last moment, he used the last of his strength to protect you. Fang Qingyi, Roger, and Ge Li were all dragged down by him. "
Fang Qingzhuo was stunned. The matter of the Evil Demon's blood was completely handled by Fang Qingshu and the Holy Temple's laboratory. It had nothing to do with Fang Qingyi, Roger, or Ge Li.
Soon, Fang Qingzhuo understood.
Zhi Li was protecting Fang Qingzhuo and her daughter, and also using the last of his strength to protect the Raging Wave Kingdom.
After Zhi Li was defeated and Jung Yeon ascended the throne, the Hidden Island and Fengdu Holy Temple would definitely not let Jung Yeon and Søren off. They would definitely cause a huge wave to overturn the Raging Wave Kingdom.
Therefore, Zhi Li simply dragged Hidden Island's Young Master Fang Qingyi, Holy Priest Ge Li, and Chief Judge Roger into the water.
In this way, the Hidden Island and Fengdu Holy Temple would no longer be able to deal with the Raging Wave Kingdom.
When all the madness faded and all the ambition dissipated, Zhi Li returned to a normal human nature. He wanted to protect his family, his motherland, and his clan.
At this time, he might have understood why his father, Du Lan, had died back then.
Perhaps at this time, he had completely let go of his hatred for the King of Pi, and he could feel Pi's innocence.
The ones in the wrong were him and his father, Du Lan. They were the traitors.
Therefore, after dragging Fang Qingyi, Ge Li, and Roger into the water, he immediately chose to commit suicide.
This was because he knew that the Dragon Temple's Mind Technique was very powerful. It could easily disintegrate his Mind Defense and determine the truth of his confession.
Once he committed suicide, this confession could no longer be changed, and it would bring fatal damage to Fengdu Holy Temple and Hidden Island.
After hearing this result, Fang Qingzhuo was not so sad anymore. Instead, she felt a surge of warmth, and she felt happy for Zhi Li.
Death was certainly a scary thing.
However, what was even scarier was that it was a worthless death.
Not only was Zhi Li's life worthless, but it was also a negative life.
His existence had brought a huge disaster to his family and the entire Raging Wave Kingdom.
His existence had caused the Raging Wave Kingdom's economy and people's livelihood to regress by more than ten years. It had also caused the Raging Wave Kingdom's national strength to regress by decades. It had caused the kingdom to have several civil wars, and hundreds of thousands of people had died or been injured.
However, before he died, he had done something to protect his family and the kingdom, and he had paid the price with his life.
This made his life no longer so worthless.
Similarly, this also made Fang Qingzhuo feel that her marriage was no longer worthless.
Why did Zhi Li make such a choice before he died? It was because he no longer felt hatred in his heart. Instead, he felt warmth, nostalgia, and reluctance.
This warmth, nostalgia, and reluctance were all brought to him by Fang Qingzhuo and his daughter.
In particular, in order to protect Zhi Ning and her mother, Fang Qingzhuo had exposed Zhi Li's Devil's Blood at the last moment. She knew that doing so would bring fatal danger to herself, but she still did it.
The brilliance of humanity, justice, and kindness brought warmth to Zhi Li.
Even though it was Zhi Li who had betrayed himself, it also made him feel that the world was no longer so cold, terrifying, and despairing.
Fang Qingzhuo said softly, "He must have died very quietly and in peace."
"Sister, no one will assassinate you anymore," Fang Qingdi said softly. "Let's go home."
Indeed, no one would come to assassinate Fang Qingzhuo and her daughter because Zhi Li was already dead.
For the Fengdu Temple and the Hidden Island, this disaster had already arrived. The eldest princess of the Yan Empire, the supreme saintess of the Dragon Temple, Ji Soo-ning, had successfully stirred up a monstrous case.
"No, even if no one assassinates me, I will not return to the Hidden Island," Fang Qingzhuo said quietly. "This is my home!"
…
Night fell!
Thirty golden griffins flew into the sky above the capital city of Fengdu.
This world had airspace rights. If a griffin entered the airspace of any country, it had to be reported.
Last time, when Ji Soo-ning brought dozens of griffins into the Raging Wave Kingdom, she had publicly reported to Søren and was only allowed to enter the country after it was approved.
However, the 30 griffins had entered Necropolis Royal City's airspace without reporting anything.
However, the griffins of the Raging Wave Kingdom did not stop them.
That was because they were all golden griffins. Furthermore, there was a flag on each griffin.
The flag of the Temple of the Sky!
As long as it was a golden griffin, it did not matter if it had the flag of the Temple of the Sky, it could enter and leave the territory of any human kingdom, except the Dongli Kingdom.
The Temple of the Sky represented the highest power and belief in the whole world!
And riding on the golden griffins was the highest law enforcer of the whole world, the Sky Paladin!
Ordinary people might not even see this kind of golden griffins in their lifetime.
Once the Temple of the Sky sent out the Griffin Paladin, it could only mean one thing.
Something big had happened, something shocking had happened!
Fengdu Holy Temple's Holy Priest Gray and Chief Judge Rogo had already heard the news a few hours ago.
Zhi Li had dragged them and the Hidden Island into this mess. The Temple of the Sky was furious and wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Instantly, Gray and Rogo's bodies turned cold, and they sat on their thrones in a daze.
Boundless darkness, boundless despair!
Once the Temple of the Sky sent out the Sky Paladin, there was no turning back.
Even if they found out that the two of them were innocent of the Evil Demon's blood, it would be useless.
The Temple of the Sky was absolutely right. Once they caught you, you would be the one in the wrong.
Even if you were innocent of the Evil Demon's blood, wouldn't it be easy to find other crimes?
Whether it was lust or corruption, it would be easy to find a hundred major crimes. As for Rogo and Gray, their butts were definitely not clean.
Therefore, once they sent out the Sky Paladin, Gray and Rogo knew that they were finished!
Boundless, unending pain …
Fifty years, they had struggled for more than fifty years to sit in this high and mighty position.
In this process, how much hard work, how much sorrow, how much shame, how much sin had they committed? He had only come this far, but now, everything had been turned to ashes, and all his future prospects had been wasted!
It was over, it was all over!
Soon, thirty Sky Paladins flew into Fengdu Holy Temple and began to descend.
Nine Paladins came in front of Chief Judge Rogo and said, "Your Excellency Rogo, because you are suspected of being against the Dragon's faith and the Dragon's power, under the orders of the Temple of the Sky, you are arrested!"
The once supreme Chief Inquisitor Rogue did not resist at all. He obediently raised his hands and allowed himself to be shackled.
The other nine Sky Paladins came in front of Holy Priest Gray and said, "Your Excellency Gray, because you are suspected of being against the Dragon's faith and the Dragon's power, under the orders of the Temple of the Sky, you are arrested!"
Tears rolled down Gray's face. He raised his hands and was handcuffed.
The other five Sky Paladins entered Fu Lingxi's castle and said expressionlessly, "Your Excellency Fu Lingxi, because you are suspected of being against the Dragon's faith and the Dragon's power, under the orders of the Temple of the Sky, you are arrested."
Immediately, Fu Lingxi's face turned pale and her delicate body trembled!
In Zhi Li's confession before his death, there was actually Fu Lingxi's name!
