Chapter 44 - 44. Her Unrequited Love (1/2)

Third person POV

Xu Tingfeng: ” Please cease your anger, Your Majesty.”

All of the ministers kneeled and kowtowed. The emperor was furious by Xu Tingfeng's request, he couldn't let Xu Tingfeng escape from his watch. He was terrified by the news that he got this morning, one of the strongest assassin guild was annihilated in a night by a mysterious group. The emperor wasn't that stupid, he knew who did that but he didn't know the reason why he did that. He had been traumatized by the news about the assassin guild that he had hired to kidnap Xu Tingfeng's daughter was annihilated.

Emperor: ” State your reason!”

Xu Tingfeng: ” This official got some information that there were some unknown movement from west border. This official have to protect Xi An from any harm.”

The emperor was vexed by Xu Tingfeng's reason because he really got that information from the other minister. Lately there were strange aura coming from the west, the aura almost reached the capital. The emperor's spies didn't know what aura it was, they only knew that it came out from the Thousand Beast Forest. But the emperor was still reluctant to let Xu Tingfeng escape.

Emperor: ” My general, I want you to rest at capital for a while as you had been working hard to protect this country. I will send Qu general to solve the problem.”

Xu Tingfeng: ” Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't. As Your Majesty know, the aura almost reached the capital. It means our enemy is very strong. I can't rest peacefully knowing that my citizens are in danger. I beg you, Your Majesty.”

The emperor's face scrunched, he would be gossiped by these ministers for forbidding Xu Tingfeng to protect his own citizens. The emperor was thinking hard on how to make Xu Tingfeng stay in the capital but he couldn't find any reason to detain Xu Tingfeng in capital. Xu family was very much loved by the citizens and they didn't had any bad record in history.

Emperor: ” Alright, I give you the permission.”

Xu Tingfeng: ” Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty.”
