Duan Ru Feng’s expression turned extremely grave when he learned that Ke’er was pregnant as well.
The news of him having two grandsons was undoubtedly great news. However, it was dampened by the fact that he was only certain about the safety of one of his grandsons. The safety of the other one was still a mystery.
According to the message left behind by his son, Duan Ling Tian, Ke’er was brought away by her twin sister. Moreover, her twin sister had also treated her very well. It seemed like Ke’er was safe for now. However, it was a different story for the child in Ke’er’s belly.
“If the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect makes Ke’er their Saint Girl, if they find out she’s pregnant, not only would they kill her, but they would kill the baby in her belly as well!” This was what Duan Ru Feng was most worried about now.
Although he did not know much about the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, he knew that Saint Girls from the sect were prohibited from having excessive contact with men, let alone being impregnated by men.
‘Although Ke’er’s twin sister is from the Fire Wors.h.i.+p Sect, it’s very likely she won’t harm her own sister… However, in order to protect Ke’er, she might get rid of the child in Ke’er’s belly!’ Duan Ru Feng was sick with worries when he thought about this. This was his grandchild after all.
Soon after, Duan Ru Feng took a deep breath and calmed himself down, and he regained his rationality. He knew it was pointless no matter how anxious he was. This was not something he could control.
Currently, he only hoped that Ke’er could give birth to the child safely. However, if he had to pick between the safety of Ke’er or the child, he would pick the safety of Ke’er. He believed his son, Duan Ling Tian, would agree with his thoughts.
“Fei’er, follow me back to the Azure Cloud Mansion first. Your Auntie Rou, wait a minute, it should be your mother now. Your mother has been thinking and talking about you for a long time. I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you,” Duan Ru Feng said as he looked at Li Fei.
“Father, Bas… H-Have you found him?” Li Fei originally wanted to call Duan Ling Tian ‘b.a.s.t.a.r.d’. After all, that was how she had always addressed him. However, she managed to stop herself in time in front of Duan Ru Feng.
“His situation is slightly complicated, and I’ll tell you more about it during our journey home,” Duan Ru Feng said.
Li Fei nodded obediently. After that, as though she had recalled something, she looked at Duan Ru Feng and said, “Father, if I just leave, Xue Nai will be very worried when she returns…”
“Ku Mi, make another trip to the Greenwave Han Mansion,” Duan Ru Feng ordered Ku Mi as he looked at him. Naturally, these were only words he said in front of Li Fei. He had also sent a Voice Transmission to him detailing what he should and should not say.
Since this matter concerned his son’s future, he had no intention of disobeying the Old Prophet’s wish.
“Yes, Lord Mansion Master,” Ku Mi replied before returning to the Greenwave Han Mansion again.
“We’ll leave first.” At this moment, Duan Ru Feng motioned to Li Fei. With this grandson in his arms, he brought Li Fei along using invisible energy as they returned to the Azure Cloud Mansion.
Soon after, Ku Mi arrived back at the vast estate of the Greenwave Han Mansion, hovering in the air. When he spoke, his voice that contained rich True Energy spread to every corner of Greenwave Han Mansion like a thunderstorm.
“Tell Young Miss Xue Nai that my Young Madam and her son have returned home with me.” These were Ku Mi’s words.
As soon as Ku Mi’s words spread in the Greenwave Han Mansion, he instantly vanished into thin air from the sky above the Greenwave Han Mansion. When the powerhouses from Greenwave Han Mansion extended their Divine Consciousness to probe him, it was already too late.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for the people from Greenwave Han Mansion.
At the moment when the powerhouses from Greenwave Han Mansion was awakened by Ku Mi’s voice, the lackey who was guarding the large courtyard Han Xue Nai had asked Qing Nu to prepare for Li Fei also heard the voice reverberating in the air.
“Young Madam and her son?” When the Han Jin Nian’s lackey heard this, he frowned immediately. “This Young Madam clearly knows Young Miss Xue Nai and has a son… Doesn’t this mean it’s the woman inside and her son who was born not too long ago? Young Master should be spending the night with her tonight, right?”
The lackey jolted, he felt that something was amiss. He quickly entered the courtyard and stood in front of Li Fei’s room door.
“Young Master! Young Master!” The lackey called out a few times as he stood outside the door. However, there was no response at all even after a long time had pa.s.sed. At this moment, horror dawned on his face.
He took a deep breath and pushed the door lightly. He discovered the door did not pose much of a resistance. It opened immediately with just one push.
When the door opened, the moonlight shone into the room, highlighting the gory scene in front of his eyes. A luxuriously dressed young man lay on the ground, completely covered in blood.
There were more than ten holes on his body. In fact, there were so many holes on his body that he was barely recognizable now.
However, the lackey had followed by Han Jin Nian’s side for so many years, he knew Han Jin Nian very well. In just a second, he could tell the luxuriously dressed young man was his Young Master.
“Young Master!” The lackey cried out loudly in shock.
As soon as he cried out, a ghost-like figure appeared behind him and said coldly, “What are you doing here?”
“Lord Qing Nu, Young Master h-he…” The person was none of than Qing Nu who had rushed back immediately when she heard the voice that reverberated from the sky. The first thought that appeared in her mind was Li Fei and her son had been brought away by the intruder.
However, when she returned, she saw Han Jin Nian’s lackey hovering outside Li Fei’s door. Horror immediately dawned on her face as she quickly charged into the room.
She was also greeted by the sight of Han Jin Nian’s body after she entered the room. Although Han Jian Nian was barely recognizable in this state, she could identify him by his clothes.
Her face immediately turned grim. She could guess the reason why Han Jin Nian had shown up here. Her gaze, as she stared at Han Jin Nian, was filled with killing intent.
After realizing that Han Jin Nian was dead, she looked at the lackey standing in a daze by the door before asking in a deep voice, “What happened here?”
“I-I don’t k-know…” The lackey shook his head. He really did not know anything.
“What are you doing here then? Why is he here?” Qing Nu asked solemnly.
Under Qing Nu’s piercing gaze, and the fact that Han Jin Nian had died, the lackey did not dare to conceal the truth. He immediately disclosed everything, including how Qing Nu had been intentionally lured away.
“You only have yourself to blame!” Qing Nu said after listening to the story. It did not matter who Han Jin Nian was killed by, she felt his death was justified. However, she still felt baffled.
‘Addressing Li Fei as Young Madam… Li Fei’s man is Duan Ling Tian! I’ve heard from Young Miss that Duan Ling Tian’s father seems to be a powerhouse in the Dao Martial Saint Land… Could it be that his man came to bring Li Fei and her son away?’ The more Qing Nu thought about it, the more she was certain of it. Her heart immediately felt at ease.
If this was really the case, it would be easier for her to give Young Miss an explanation later.
“Nian’er!” The Greenwave Han Mansion had just fallen silent after the commotion that was caused by the voice in the sky when an angry voice roared loudly, setting of countless ripples like a stone that was cast into a still lake. Naturally, another commotion broke out again in the Greenwave Han Mansion.
“He’s here.” When Qing Nu heard the angry roar, she smiled wryly. She could tell it was the voice of the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Sect, also Han Jin Nian’s grandfather.
Han Jin Nian was his only grandson.
When she heard his angry roar, she knew he had found out about Han Jin Nian’s death. To be more precise, the Supreme Elder had noticed Han Jin Nian’s Soul Pearl had shattered.
After glancing at the room, Qing Nu discovered it was not in a mess. She could roughly guess what had happened. In other words, when Han Jin Nian was about to carry out his sinister plan, Duan Ling Tian’s father’s man had arrived just in time to kill him before taking Li Fei and her son away. The moment she thought about this, she heaved a sigh of relief.
If something had happened to Li Fei, not only would Han Xue Nai not forgive her, but she would not have been able to forgive herself as well.
It was fortunate that nothing had happened to Li Fei.
As for Han Jin Nian’s death, she was not concerned about it at all since she had long hated him. If it was not for the fact his grandfather was the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion, she might have killed him a long time ago.
“I-It’s the Supreme Elder!” When Han Jin Nian’s lackey who was standing outside the room heard the furious roar that shook the entire Greenwave Han Mansion, colors drained from his face completely.
He knew the Supreme Elder would not let him go once he found out something had happened to his grandson.
Even if he was not the culprit, he was still by Han Jin Nian’s side. What would the Supreme Elder think if he was alive and his grandson was dead?
When he thought of this, his heart was filled with despair.
“Lord Qing Nu, you must save me! This has nothing to do with me. I even advised Young Master to not look for trouble with Young Miss Xue Nai’s guest, but he refused to listen,” the lackey said anxiously as he kneeled before Qing Nu.
“I can’t help you with this matter… Just tell the truth when the Supreme Elder arrives,” Qing Nu answered indifferently.
When she reached the end of her sentence, her eyes shone coldly. “If you dare to lie to the Supreme Elder, even if he lets you go, I definitely won’t let you go!”
Qing Nu’s words frightened the lackey so much that he quickly lowered his head. “Lord Qing Nu, I-I understand… I understand!”
Now that the Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion was angry, the impact would be great.
Soon after, Qing Nu and the lackey were not the only one in Li Fei’s room. Both of the left and right guardians of Greenwave Han Mansion and the Supreme Elder had arrived as well.
If it was not because the Mansion Master of Greenwave Han Mansion had gone out to oversee some matter, he would have been here as well.
“Nian’er!” The Supreme Elder of Greenwave Han Mansion was an old man who was dressed in a green robe. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at Han Jin Nian’s body. At the same time, a terrifying aura began to rise from his body, causing the room’s temperature to drop.
