Chapter 429 (1/2)

Following the few pokes from Long Yi, the three women 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 something 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 Ximen Wuhen's little hand. Using an unknown move, a drop of bright red blood appeared on Ximen 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 time 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 time 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 extremely serious matter. In fact, his father, Ximen Nu, had no idea that Ximen Wuhen wasn't his daughter. She was actually the daughter of someone else. Long Yi's anger was really boiling over right now. In his mind, he thought, if his own women 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 meant. Could it be that his grandfather became 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 calmed down after a while. Anyway, this was already something which could not be changed. In any case, Ximen 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 Ximen Clan. In the Ximen 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 Ximen Wuhen wasn't his sister right now, it would only bring about disadvantages to the Ximen 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 Ximen 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 helmet and s.h.i.+ning armor. Just by looking at them, people would be able to know that they were veterans who had survived b.l.o.o.d.y battles on the battlefields.

As usual, Ximen Nu was sitting upright behind his s.p.a.cious 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 Ximen Nu before silently moving behind him. Picking up a little fan, she started to fan Ximen Nu who was busy reading the intelligence reports.

Ximen 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, Ximen Nu looked older compared to before. His head seemed to be covered in white hair, but his mighty momentum didn't diminish in the slightest.

After a good while, Ximen 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 extremely abnormal. Summer has yet to come, but the weather is already so hot.” Dongfang Wan picked up the cup of tea from the desk and handed it over to Ximen Nu.

”It is certainly strange. Does the Blue Waves Continent want to flip the heaven over this year?” Ximen Nu took the teacup from Dongfang Wan's hands as he slowly sipped on it. The herbal tea had been processed more than ten times by Dongfang Wan, and it was frozen. With a single sip of the tea, the heat inside Ximen 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 Ximen Nu, she could have shaken the world with her literary talent. Regardless of whether it was the military or government, her name would be extremely well known. However, she chose to be a nameless wife standing behind her successful husband.
