“Daddy—” Before they arrived, the two little ones rushed forward. Ling Feng was waiting for them by the doorway.
Ling Feng spread his arms, hugging the two treasures and kissing them several times. Looking up at Lan Lan and seeing the smile in her eyes warmed his heart. For them, he would gladly sacrifice his life.
“Alright, darlings, let’s go home!” He picked up the two little ones, whispering to them as they walked.
Lan Lan watched them, her heart full of warmth. This handsome man, who used to be carefree, now exuded stability and inner sunshine. He always said she had transformed him and given him a new life.
Sometimes she thought spending her life with Ling Feng wouldn’t be bad at all.
“Hurry up, madam!” Their forms of address remained unchanged, and Ling Feng never objected. So Yue Xiang and Uncle Chen always believed the children were Ling Feng’s biological children, and they appeared as a loving family.
Returning home and putting things away, letting Yue Xiang play with the children, Ling Feng pulled Lan Lan into the room.
Once seated, Ling Feng’s expression turned serious as he began to tell her about his affairs. Besides being the son of the martial arts alliance leader, he was a member of an assassination organization called “Cloud Mist,” known for its ability to kill almost anyone. Ling Feng joined Cloud Mist after nearly being killed by a skilled martial artist during a journey and was saved by the leader, with whom he became a close friend. He didn’t see being an assassin as bad, and with generous rewards, he became a top assassin.
Previously, every time he went out, it was to execute an assassination mission. This time, the task was to assassinate a merchant from the neighboring Tianying Country, who monopolized the commercial lifeline and was cruel to other merchants. Unable to act, these merchants sought out the organization and pooled together a hefty reward to kill him.
The organization had previously attempted to assassinate him but failed, ultimately needing to request his help again. He completed the mission but sustained minor injuries, causing a delay in his return.
