As soon as they entered the hall, Tong Yao ca out to greet them, "There’s news from that side saying the house has been blown up. Your dad got so angry that he went to kill Joel."
Long Che raised his eyebrows slightly, "If he kills him, let it be so. Keeping such a person around is a harm. Killing one as a warning to others, the remnants can be dealt with slowly later."
Queen Haotian nodded, "Let Randy handle this, I won’t interfere."
Long Che smiled, "Sister-in-law, it’s good that you think this way. It’s fortunate you managed to return alive this ti, it’s getting late, everyone should go rest."
"Mm. Good night." Queen Haotian slowly returned to her room. When she saw her mother dragging her weary legs into the room, Yi Luowa felt a sharp pang in her heart.
"Dad, Mom, you should go rest too." Tong Airui turned to Long Che.
Long Che got up and helped Tong Yao up, saying to Tong Airui, "Leave the people from our base here for now, and let them go back once things settle down."
"Alright."
"Thank you, Dad." Yi Luowa smiled apologetically.
"It’s what should be done. If our family were in trouble, your parents wouldn’t just stand by and not help." Long Che comforted his daughter-in-law and supported his wife back to their room.
Yi Luowa pouted and leaned powerlessly against Tong Airui’s embrace, "I’m really scared now. If he had really taken mom away, what would we do?"
"Even if she went to the ends of the earth, I would help you find her."
"Dear, I’ll give you a big credit for this ti!" Yi Luowa patted his cheek with her hand.
"How are you going to repay ?"
"How do you want to repay you?"
Tong Airui smiled, "How about we go out for a few days?"
"What about the kids? Are we not taking care of them?"
"I really want not to, but seeing your expression, if I don’t take care of them, you would definitely be mad. So we’ll wait until they are on vacation and go together."
"Thank you, dear. Our family of five hasn’t traveled together yet! They’ll be really happy if they find out."
Tong Airui kissed her forehead while smiling, "Are we waiting here for Dad, or should we go rest?"
"Let’s wait a bit, I’m afraid he won’t be calm after killing soone and might start fighting with mom."
"I would never argue with your mother!" Emperor Haotian walked in angrily.
"Dad, look at your face, it’s gloomy!" Yi Luowa pouted, "Can’t you not scare !"
"Did I frighten you!" Emperor Haotian leaned his face close to his daughter’s, "I’m angry! That damned guy! Knowing he’s going to die, he still acted all high and mighty. He even said to that after he died, he’d co back as a ghost to see your mom."
Yi Luowa furrowed her brows slightly, "He’s trying to provoke you! Did you not kill him, Dad?"
"No, but I broke his legs, dislocated his arm, and blinded his eyes. I want to see how he plans to co back and see your mom!"
Yi Luowa shivered; Dad’s quite ruthless!
"Dad, Joel provoked you probably just wanting to survive. If he’s locked up, how would he get out? Soone will surely co to rescue him, this is the perfect opportunity to eliminate the remnants." Tong Airui said as he stood up, "You all go rest, I’ll handle the remaining issues!"
Emperor Haotian quickly instructed, "Airui, be careful!"
"I will."
Yi Luowa got up, "Darling, I want to go with you!"
Tong Airui quickly stopped her, "Don’t go, I can’t let you risk yourself anymore."
"If I can’t accompany you in danger, that ans it’s dangerous! How can I let you go alone?"
"I’ll be fine, they’re just a bunch of rabble." Tong Airui smiled and patted her shoulder, "If things go smoothly, I’ll be back in three hours, if not, I’ll be back by dawn."
Yi Luowa pouted, "Then you be careful."
"For you and the children, I’ll definitely be careful."
Yi Luowa saw Tong Airui and her father off, each returning to their rooms, staring at the ceiling for a long ti before dozing off in the early morning.
In a half-asleep state, the bed slightly sank, Yi Luowa squinted and saw Tong Airui smiling at her, she suddenly opened her eyes wide.
"You’re back!"
"Yes, I am back."
Yi Luowa grabbed his arm, looked him up and down, and seeing no injuries, she laughed heartily, "You’re quite true to your word."
"For you and the children, I must keep my promises."
"How many people did you capture?"
"Sixty-five."
"He only has this few people left?"
"Indeed, we’ve destroyed quite a few of his followers in previous battles. This ti, they tried digging tunnels and got nearly a hundred captured by Old Eight. This ti, in order to take mom away, they practically emptied their nest, in the sixty-five people, the highest rank among them is a lieutenant-general, Joel truly is a dangerous character."
