Just as he thought he was going to be killed by the handsome young man before him, Kleyena’s sudden appearance sparked an incredibly special emotion within ‘Brother Feng,’ who had been doing evil for many years.
He had not seen as many exceptional beauties as Ye Yinzhu, and at that moment, Kleyena seemed like a goddess to him.
Her beauty and kindness were overwhelming his heart, and he suddenly realized that the feeling of inferiority in front of her was even more painful than when Ye Yinzhu crushed his arm.
Kleyena came back to her senses, turned to him, and helped him stand up by supporting his intact arm.
She apologized with regret, “I’m sorry, my friend is usually not like this.
How about this, I’ll pensate you with some money, and you should quickly get it looked at, perhaps your arm…”
At this point, Kleyena couldn’t continue as she looked at ‘Brother Feng’s’ arm, limp like a noodle hanging by his side.
It was obvious to her that all the bones in his arm were shattered; there was no hope of healing.
‘Brother Feng’s’ face turned pale with acute pain tormenting him so much he almost vomited blood.
He shook his head vigorously, “No, perhaps this is my retribution.
Respected miss, thank you for saving me.
But your friend is not wrong.” Locking eyes with Kleyena’s clear and bright ones, a strong impulse came over ‘Brother Feng.’ He candidly confessed his wrongdoings, and despite making him feel even more ashamed, it also felt like a release from everything.
Listening to his words, Kleyena’s expression became worse.
She knew she had wronged Ye Yinzhu, and after giving ‘Brother Feng’ a deep look, she said with a bitter smile, “The fact that you’re willing to admit your mistakes shows that you have the intention to repent.
I hope you can bee a better person from now on.” Having said that, she handed him a purse of money and immediately started chasing in the direction where Ye Yinzhu had left.
“Miss, can you tell me your name?” ‘Brother Feng’ shouted impulsively.
“My name is Kleyena.” Without turning back, Kleyena still answered his question.
Kleyena felt so regretful.
She was not regretting stopping Ye Yinzhu earlier; making an evildoer e to his senses was definitely a joy for her, but she had wronged the person she had been thinking of all this time.
She knew all too well how unbearable it was to be wronged and aggrieved.
She hated herself for not trusting him.
Indeed, with his character, how could he possibly mit evil acts?
However, no matter how hard Kleyena searched, she couldn’t find any trace of Ye Yinzhu.
Her pain could only be hidden deep inside her heart, until a long time later when she would get the chance to explain.
Ten minutes later, a beggar appeared at the clinic.
“Please amputate this arm,” ‘Brother Feng’s’ gaze was determined.
At this moment, all that was on his mind was the face of the goddess and the countless evil deeds he had mitted in the past.
The doctor at the clinic frowned upon seeing his disheveled appearance, but his expression changed immediately once ‘Brother Feng’ took out a Ruby Currency coin.
“Are you sure you really want to amputate this arm?
It will cause you to bleed profusely.”
“Yes, I’m sure.”
Half a time later, a piercing scream emanated from the clinic.
‘Brother Feng’ had requested the doctor not to use anesthesia.
He wanted to remember this most painful moment, to forever memorate this day.
As he lay pale-faced on the clinic bed, staring at the empty ceiling, he swore that from this day on, he would be a brand new person.
The amputated arm was like an end to his past.
He didn’t hate Ye Yinzhu, even though the young man was extremely ruthless, causing him to endure unprecedented pain.
However, it was precisely because of the pain he endured that he had the chance to see the goddess.
Kleyena, the goddess of my heart, I will surely heed your words and bee a good person.
My only wish is to protect you one day, to silently watch over you at all times; that would be enough.
Ye Yinzhu, of course, had no idea what had happened after he left.
He, along with Haiyang and Sura, first took the two little beggars to wash up and change into clean clothes, temporarily settled them in an inn, and then headed towards the Landias Palace.
Although night had fallen, it was not too late yet.
Ye Yinzhu had decided to finish up here earlier so he could continue with the other things he needed to do.
Haiyang originally wanted to stay and take care of the two children, but Ye Yinzhu rejected that idea.
After all, this was Landias City, and even though he was almost ninety percent certain that Emperor Maximo wouldn’t harm them, it was still better to be cautious.
Sura and Haiyang were absolutely safe only when with him.
The two children were unlikely to garner the attention of Landias, and the Emperor wouldn’t use them to threaten Ye Yinzhu.
Three people arrived at the entrance of the Landis Imperial Palace, and before they could approach, they were stopped by patrolling Royal Palace Guards.
“Who goes there?
The Imperial Palace is off-limits,” twenty Lances were raised neatly in unison, their cold tips aimed at the bodies of Ye Yinzhu and his panions.
Stepping forward, Sura raised her right hand, revealing a badge that had appeared in her palm.
Although she did not like her identity within the Landias Empire, using it now would certainly avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
The badge was made of Mithril, displaying a majestic Phoenix pattern inlaid with precious obsidian, portrayed as if it were soaring high into the sky.
“We pay our respects to the Phoenix Princess,” the Royal Palace Guard said, startled, and immediately lowered their lance to kneel, bowing down in front of Sura.
Sura said indifferently, “Report to His Majesty, tell him I have returned and have brought with me the person he wished to see.”
“Yes, Your Royal Highness The Princess,” one guard hastily ran towards the inner palace, while the others escorted Ye Yinzhu and the two others towards the Imperial Palace.
Sura apologetically said, “Yin Zhu, I’m sorry.
Although I have the identity of a princess, I cannot bring strangers in and out of the Imperial Palace at will.
So, we must wait.”
Ye Yinzhu held Sura’s hand, “Silly, what’s there to be afraid of waiting?
Is there a need for apologies?”
The Royal Palace Guards following beside them couldn’t help but be astonished, each of them staring at Ye Yinzhu in surprise while speculating about this man’s identity.
The Phoenix Princess is known as the first beauty of the Landias Empire; they had all heard of it, but her title of ice beauty was even more famous than that of the first beauty.
If it weren’t for the badge in Sura’s hand that couldn’t possibly be forged, they would really doubt whether this veiled, gentle-voiced woman was truly the Phoenix Princess.
Ye Yinzhu naturally didn’t care how these guards saw him.
He held both of his beloved wives’ hands, oblivious to the surrounding crowd, and enjoyed the warm atmosphere.
They did not wait outside the palace gates for very long.
After a short while, the palace gates opened wide, and two rows of a hundred fully equipped samurai of the Landias Royal Family, all in black armor, neatly lined up.
They encircled the huge Black Phoenix Palanquin that was being carried towards the main entrance of the palace by sixty-four specially trained royal porters, bearing Emperor Maximo inside.
With Emperor Maximo’s personal arrival, all the guards in front of the palace gate shouted “Long live the Emperor!” while prostrating themselves on the ground.
The only ones left standing were Ye Yinzhu and his two wives.
The Black Phoenix Palanquin stopped about thirty meters away from the palace’s main gate.
The palanquin, resembling an awakening palace, settled smoothly onto the ground, the doors opened, and the tall Emperor Maximo stepped out.
Seeing Emperor Maximo, Ye Yinzhu clearly felt Sura’s little hand within his own palm tremble slightly.
pared to the Landias Emperor he had seen several years ago, the current Emperor Maximo seemed to have changed a lot, first of all, he had aged.
Theoretically, as an emperor enjoying the best conditions in all aspects, there shouldn’t have been such significant changes in three years.
However, Maximo had indeed aged, and three years had passed, his head was now full of silver hair.
Although his face still carried its authority and there were not many wrinkles, one could clearly see a trace of fatigue in those keen eyes.
Emperor Maximo’s back was still as straight as ever.
He descended from the Black Phoenix Palanquin, waved away the guards beside him, and strode toward the direction of Ye Yinzhu and his wives.
His gaze first swept over Ye Yinzhu, then settled on Sura, and his hands hanging by his sides trembled noticeably.
“Phoenix, you’ve returned,” Maximo’s eyes softened, the imperiousness gradually fading away, revealing a gentle look that none of the surrounding guards had ever seen before.
Sura nodded slightly in response, in what could be considered a salute.
Only then did Maximo’s gaze return to Ye Yinzhu, making a weling gesture, “Zither Emperor, please e with me onto the Black Phoenix Palanquin.
We shall discuss matters in detail at the palace.”
Ye Yinzhu bowed slightly toward Maximo, as a form of salute.
After all, no matter what, Maximo was still Sura’s biological father, his father-in-law.
“Greetings,” he said.
The trio joined Emperor Maximo atop the Black Phoenix Palanquin.
Ye Yinzhu’s spiritual power had already scanned the surroundings within a kilometer radius during this short time, and he was surprised to find that apart from Emperor Maximo himself, he detected not a single Zi rank Powerhouse.
He knew his conjecture was correct; Maximo, from any standpoint, would definitely not be an adversary to him.
The Black Phoenix Palanquin was indeed large, with an interior space of a hundred square meters.
Besides a warm couch, there was also a table carved from jade, laden with fresh fruits and pastries.
Surrounding the table were four chairs of the same material.
This was imperial luxury.
After a weling gesture, Maximo sat down on one of the chairs.
Ye Yinzhu and his spouses sat down as well.
