Following the few pokes from Long Yi, the three won who were sound asleep lost their consciousness.
“Long Yi, what are you doing?” Wushuang looked at Long Yi with shock written all over her face. She realized that there was sothing strange going on. Especially when she looked at him now, he looked even more abnormal.
Turning his head, Long Yi placed his index finger on his mouth. He signaled for Wushuang to keep quiet. With a soft sigh, Long Yi grabbed Xin Wuhen’s little hand. Using an unknown move, a drop of bright red blood appeared on Xin Wuhen’s middle finger.
Under Long Yi’s careful control, the drop of blood floated in the air in front of him. Looking at that drop of blood, Long Yi walked out of the tent.
By the ti Wushuang left the tent, Long Yi had already set up an opaque barrier outside. As a result, she didn’t know what Long Yi was doing inside the barrier.
“What in the world is going on?” Wushuang muttered. This was the first ti she had seen Long Yi act like this. She couldn’t help but worry about Long Yi.
Currently, inside the barrier, Long Yi stared blankly at two small porcelain bottles with liquid inside them. In of the bottle, the liquid was scarlet red in color and in the other bottle, the liquid was deep blue.
“It’s true, Wuhen truly isn’t my biological sister.” Long Yi sighed and there was a sense of loss in his heart. However, anger started to brew in Long Yi’s heart.
This was an extrely serious matter. In fact, his father, Xin Nu, had no idea that Xin Wuhen wasn’t his daughter. She was actually the daughter of soone else. Long Yi’s anger was really boiling over right now. In his mind, he thought, if his own won were to get pregnant with another guy’s child, he would feel enraged. However, Long Yi thought about how Aunt Ou said that his grandfather was involved in this matter. Long Yi’s mind spun as he thought about what Aunt Ou actually ant. Could it be that his grandfather beca senile after disappearing for so many years? He actually colluded with others to make his son wear a green hat. This gave Long Yi the urge to curse out loud.
The seething emotions inside Long Yi slowly cald down after a while. Anyway, this was already sothing which could not be changed. In any case, Xin Wuhen was the innocent party here. No matter what happened, Long Yi was not going to implicate her in any of this.
After looking at the problem from different angles, Long Yi settled down his state of mind. He decided to hide this fact, albeit temporarily. This was because of the current situation on the Blue Waves Continent and the situation in the Xin Clan. In the Xin Clan, the wind and waves were currently at its highest. The situation on the Blue Waves Continent was also at its critical juncture. If Long Yi revealed the news about how Xin Wuhen wasn’t his sister right now, it would only bring about disadvantages to the Xin Clan.
Dispelling the barrier, Long Yi walked out with a smile on his face. It was the usual expression he had as he didn’t want to give Wushuang a reason to worry.
“Long Yi......” Seeing as Long Yi left the barrier, Wushuang instantly called out to him. She took two steps forward and stood right in front of Long Yi.
“I am fine.” Long Yi smiled and patted the shoulder of Wushuang. In a serious voice, he added, “Suang’er, I don’t want anyone else to know about what happened earlier. Do you understand?”
“I understand.” Wushuang nodded her head. Despite the suspicion in her heart, she would act as if nothing happened. It was what Long Yi wanted after all.
“Thank you for understanding.” Long Yi kissed the soft and delicate lips on Wushuang’s face.

Violent Dragon Empire, Soaring Dragon City.
Under the golden light of the sun, the Xin Residence appeared radiant and imposing in the middle of the city. The guards who stood on the two sides of the big scarlet gate looked ferocious with their helt and shining armor. Just by looking at them, people would be able to know that they were veterans who had survived bloody battles on the battlefields.
As usual, Xin Nu was sitting upright behind his spacious desk. In front of him were stacks of intelligence reports, and he was slowly browsing through them. The intelligence reports consisted of reports about the situation inside Soaring Dragon City and reports about the other cities in the Blue Waves Continent.
While was deep in his thought, Dongfang Wan knocked on the door. Carrying a cup of tea, she entered the room. She gently placed the cup of tea in front of Xin Nu before silently moving behind him. Picking up a little fan, she started to fan Xin Nu who was busy reading the intelligence reports.
Xin Nu didn’t raise his head. His head remained lowered as he read all of the intelligence reports on the table. He used a brush to outline the most important parts of the report. Currently, Xin Nu looked older compared to before. His head seed to be covered in white hair, but his mighty montum didn’t diminish in the slightest.
After a good while, Xin Nu stood up and stretched his body. Looking towards his wife, a smile appeared on his face.
“My husband, drink this cup of herbal tea. Recently, the weather has been extrely abnormal. Sumr has yet to co, but the weather is already so hot.” Dongfang Wan picked up the cup of tea from the desk and handed it over to Xin Nu.
“It is certainly strange. Does the Blue Waves Continent want to flip the heaven over this year?” Xin Nu took the teacup from Dongfang Wan’s hands as he slowly sipped on it. The herbal tea had been processed more than ten tis by Dongfang Wan, and it was frozen. With a single sip of the tea, the heat inside Xin Nu’s body disappeared and his gloomy heart started to relax.
Dongfang Wan wisely smiled but didn’t say much. As the eldest daughter of the Dongfang Clan, her political sensitivity and view of the overall situation couldn’t be compared to a normal person. If she was unwilling to be a good wife and loving mother in front of Xin Nu, she could have shaken the world with her literary talent. Regardless of whether it was the military or governnt, her na would be extrely well known. However, she chose to be a naless wife standing behind her successful husband.
“Wan’er, Is General Ye and the others here??” The eyes of Xin Nu shone as he stroked his grey beard.
“They are currently waiting in the hall. Does husband want to go and et them now?” Dongfang Wan replied.
“Of course I want to go.” Xin Nu smirked. His crafty smile greatly resembled the smile Long Yi always had on his face. As the saying goes, like father, like son. Or in this case, like son, like father.
Xin Nu stepped into the hall with a dignified expression. The three people who were in the hall stood up and gave him a salutation regardless of whether they were wearing a military uniform or a civil official dress.
“This ti, I called everyone here to discuss a matter. All of you can sit down.” Xin Nu walked over to the master chair in the hall with large strides. With an imposing aura, he took his seat.
“Patriarch, why are there only three of us?” An old man wearing the civil official dress belonging to the Violent Dragon Empire asked in confusion. In the past, when there were major issues to discuss, Xin Nu would call all of his trusted subordinates. However, there were only three of them this ti.
“Yes, I’ve called the three of you here today as you are the ones I trust the most. Especially since all three of you have been serving for such a long ti.” Xin Nu said. When he saw the trace of happiness on their faces, a trace of killing intent appeared in his heart.
“Recently, Soaring Dragon City has been plunged into chaos. I think that all three of you should know about this. After reaching the critical juncture to attack the Proud Moon Empire, that old fox Long Zhan revealed so of his moves. In this one month, he laid out many traps which were aid at us. Fortunately, we were able to avert them and avoid disaster. We were even able to launch our own counterattacks against him. Although we were unable to damage his bones, out attacks should make him feel so pain.” Xin Nu looked at three people below him as he said with a pleasant smile. He appeared to be delighted by the performance of the three of them.
Approved Only
“That is all because patriarch grasped the key points to the enemy’s weakness. Every ti Long Zhan arranged a trap, the patriarch was able to see through it. This subordinate truly admires you.” Ye Wufeng said while looking at Xin Nu with worship in his eyes.
Xin Nu looked at Ye Wufeng. He was once Xin Nu’s trusted confidant. However, he was unaware that he was already excluded from the Xin Clan’s core. Everything was due to his wife. Who asked his wife to develop s*xual relations with the Crown Prince, Long Ying. This was enough reason for the cruel and ruthless Xin Nu to completely lose his heart towards Ye Wufeng.
Xin Clan made several hundred years of preparations. They absolutely couldn’t tolerate any mishaps or errors. They were definitely not jeopardizing the entire Xin Clan and its vassals. Xin Nu didn’t dare to gamble with his clan on the line. As such, he steeled his heart.
“I cannot take credit for evading Long Zhan’s traps. We managed to avoid Long Zhan’s traps because of our spies. As a result, I know about their movents completely. Now, I would like to ask, how will Long Zhan be able to fight against us?” Xin Nu stroked his beard and asked after laughing heartily. However, his eyes were narrowed as he stared at the three of them.
Both of the civil officials looked happy and flattered. According to them, Xin Nu absolutely trusted them as he revealed such important secrets in their presence. There was no reason not to be happy.
However, Ye Wufeng’s expression beca tense and an explosion happened in his brain. With the smile on his face stiffening, his limbs beca ice-cold.
After so ti, Xin Nu gave them the permission to leave, However, Ye Wufeng stayed back in the hall as he stared at Xin Nu.
“General Ye, do you have sothing to say?” Xin Nu frowned. He knew that Ye Wufeng was sharp and should have deduced sothing from Xin Nu’s speech.
Bang, Ye Wufeng knelt down and prostrated on the ground. In a trembling voice, he pleaded, “Forgive , patriarch, this Wufeng isn’t clear on his mistakes. I request for the patriarch to make it clear.” Ye Wufeng was a very intelligent person. His clan had always been stubbornly loyal to the Xin Clan since generations ago. Not to ntion the fact that he had grown up with Xin Nu. Xin Nu’s killing intent couldn’t escape his perception. Besides, he knew that Xin Nu would never speak about having spies by Long Zhan’s side. He knew that it was an impossible matter. As such, he wasn’t the least bit happy when Xin Nu told them about the spies. Rather, he trembled in despair.
Xin Nu stared at Ye Wufeng who was kneeling in front of him with an ice-cold gaze. With an indifferent expression he said, “Wufeng, I trust you that you will never betray . However, you made a mistake. You have married the wrong woman. Your wife is committing adultery with Crown Prince Long Ying, and she is currently his spy. You shouldn’t know about this matter yet, right?”
Another explosion occurred in Ye Wufeng’s head and his mind beca a blank space. The wife who he was imnsely proud of was the one who betrayed him. He never doubted the words of Xin Nu. Since Xin Nu had said that his wife betrayed him, he was certain that his wife betrayed him.
“Wufeng, I cannot lose......” Xin Nu said to Ye Wufeng.
Ye Wufeng trembled. When he looked up, his expression was already firm. In a calm voice, he said, “Patriarch, I know what I should do.”
In just three days, Long Zhan, as well as the Military Advisors behind him knew about the matter of the spies. They beca extrely tense and they were suspicious of everyone around them.
After seven days, the entire Ye Residence was massacred in the span of a night. General Ye Wufeng as well as his wife, servants, and maids. There wasn’t a living creature in the entire Ye Residence. The scene was shrouded by a strong barrier, so no one noticed anything. Allegedly, they said that this was the work of the Dark Church as the entire Ye Residence was shrouded by a dense dark aura.
“Wufeng. Everything that I, Xin Nu owe you, I will repay in the otherworld.” Xin Nu stood tall inside his courtyard as he stared into the starry skies. His eyes shone and no one knew what he was thinking.
