Initially, he thought it would be just another kill. However, the target was revealed to be the illegitimate son of the Tianying Country emperor’s beloved. Upon learning this, the emperor was furious and vowed to annihilate the assassin organization, vowing to find and kill his son’s murderer. Consequently, many merchants were killed by the emperor’s men, and hidden assassins from the Yunwu organization were targeted by death squads for revenge. Now aware that Ling Feng was responsible, he urgently returned to warn Lan Lan that they must quickly find a place to hide while he stayed behind to confront them.
“No, I won’t leave. How can I abandon you? I want to be with you,” Lan Lan said, her eyes red, tightly embracing him, determined to share his fate.
“If we had no children, I would rather die than be separated. I don’t ask to be born in the same year and month, but to die together. However, we must think of the children. For their sake, you must leave!” Ling Feng held her tightly, feeling the pain of separation but seeing no other way.
This enemy was more troublesome than anticipated. The Yunwu organization was essentially finished, and Shenying Fortress was implicated. If not for Ling Tianwu’s unparalleled martial arts and the numerous experts in the fortress, they might not have survived.
“Be good, go pack and leave immediately. Let Uncle Chen go with you. I will find you soon,” Ling Feng comforted. She understood she couldn’t burden him, and he would have a better chance of survival alone.
Under his supervision, Lan Lan and Yue Xiang began packing, as Zhen’s voice echoed nearby.
“Mom, where are we going?”
“Be good, Zhen. Mom is taking you to visit relatives. We can play along the way and eat delicious food, okay?” Lan Lan soothed him.
“Mom, is Dad coming?” Xin asked.
“We’ll go first, and Dad will come find us soon,” she said, stroking Xin’s head, knowing her daughter was close to Ling Feng.
After packing, Lan Lan called to Yue Xiang: “We don’t know if we’ll survive this escape. Take this item and deliver it to the place with this mark. Personally hand it to the hall master. Remember carefully.”
