Xue Ying entered from the back door of the castle. He walked in the castle’s shadow to get inside his room and, put down the Flying Snow God Spear inside and then hurriedly headed downstairs towards the living room.

Inside the living room.

Lord Si An was already being received by Zong Ling.

“This past month, there was another Mage’s tower built on Snowrock Mountain!” Lord Si An sipped his tea, “Our Water Rites Town’s most powerful knight and mage are both gathered here in Snowrock Mountain.”

“It’s only within Water Rites Town, it can’t be compared with other powerful experts out there.” Zong Ling smiled.

“Whistle”

The wind whistled as a youth clothed in black came in.

Lord Si An turned around and when he saw the youth, his eyes brightened. He immediately got up, smiled and said, “Lord”.

“Lord Si An.” Xue Ying continued walking inside, “Please sit. There is no need for any formality.”

When he sat down, Xue Ying immediately asked, “Lord Si An, regarding my parents situation…”

“You can trust our Dragon Mountain Manor intelligence’s capability. We have the number one reputation.” Lord Si An continued, saying, “But I have to remind you to stay calm.”

“Calm?” Xue Ying heart’s tightened. Zong Ling’s face next to him also shifted.

“Please tell us,” Xue Ying said with a tranquil expression.

Lord Si An understood that this young Lord’s mind could undoubtedly not be calm. He secretly sighed before directly stating, “Your mother’s condition is not bad. She is a direct descendant of the Mo Yang Clan. Her brother, Mo Yang Chen, is their clan’s youngest Silver Moon Mage. With this status, your mother is only confined inside the Mo Yang Clan’s prohibited area, ‘Thunder Tide Shores’. Although a bit lonely, she can still live comfortably there. She has also devoted herself to studying magic, in fact I also heard your mother broke through to the Meteor Mage rank.”

“Ah Yu has long been a talented person. She really is the first among us to breakthrough and reach Meteor rank,” Zong Ling smiled and nodded.

“How about my father?” Xue Ying worriedly ask.

‘Mother is all right, but what about Father?’

” Your father…” Lord Si An hesitated for a moment, “That year, your mother refused to accept the marriage arranged by her family and fled from her clan. So the Mo Yang Clan then chose another relatively good direct descendant daughter to be married off. This girl’s father is called ‘Mo Yang Chen Bai.’ That year, Mo Yang Chen Bai couldn’t prevent his daughter’s marriage. He still regrets it even today. Since his daughter’s marriage, he has spent 20 years training, and has finally reached the Silver Moon Knight rank. With help from his clan’s resources to refine a superior refiner armor, he is even able to fight on par with those of the Legend rank. Our Dragon Mountain Manor also sent him the Bronze Order!”

“Mo Yang Cheng Bai still resents that year’s events. He also begrudges your mother because your mother escaped from the arranged marriage, forcing him to marry his daughter to an old man.” Lord Si An continued swiftly.

“How did it become my mother’s fault? After my mother fled, his daughter’s marriage… wasn’t that decided by the Mo Yang clan’s leader?” Xue Ying angrily said.

“He didn’t dare to oppose the clan’s leader. He could only direct his anger towards your mother,” replied Lord Si An. “Your mother has her brother’s protection, and moreover she is confined inside the prohibited area, the Thunder Tide Shores. He can’t do anything to your mother! But your father, on the other hand, is sentenced to do hard labour. Mo Yang Cheng Bai then directed and vented his anger on your father.”

Xue Ying’s face became ashen. He gripped his chair’s armrest, his fingers beginning to sink down into the wood.

“Your father was sentenced to a century of forced labor. He was taken to the Mo Yang Clan’s forge at ‘Fragrant East Lake’ to serve there. Mo Yang Cheng Bai often orders people to torture your father. He also specially asked the forge’s doctor to barely heal your father! Leaving him constantly on the verge of death,” explained Lord Si An. “Without the doctor’s treatments, I’m afraid your father couldn’t have endured the conditions and would’ve died within 3 years time.”

“Peng!”

Xue Ying’s hand finally made the armrest shatter, his eyes filled with killing intent, “Damn it, Damn it!”

He remembered his father’s majestic presence…

His father’s harsh and strict training and the doting love he had towards Xue Ying…
