The Lanling City Lord asked coldly, "Is this your reason for betraying your master and ancestors?"

"Junior sister, you always look like you keep strangers away, making people afraid to approach you."

"Junior sister, how can someone like you be content to be the lord of a small city? Only you should stand at the top of the world and look down on the world to be worthy of your status. This world was conquered by your family, why should it belong to the Zhao family? The honor belongs to the Mei family, and the Zhao family should give it to us, the Mei family!" Bai Yanlang said with certainty.

"fallacy."

Lanling City Lord was about to bring down his sword when he heard a voice stopping him, "Senior, wait a minute."

The sword stopped in mid-air, and the Lord of Lanling City glanced sideways.

"Jian'er." Bai Yanlang looked back and saw his adopted son Bai Xingjian walking towards him, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

The Lord of Lanling City had learned about Han Xingjian from Hua Fushu a long time ago. Although he had never met Han Xingjian, he could guess who he was.

The sword was taken back.

Han Xingjian bowed and said, "Thank you, senior."

Bai Yanlang looked at Han Xingjian, and seemed to understand something belatedly, and opened his mouth to say something.

Han Xingjian half-knelt down, looked at Bai Yanlang, and said calmly, "Adoptive father, this is the last time I will call you Adoptive Father. From this moment on, the relationship between you and me is over. Back then, you kidnapped me and forced my father to death, forcing my family to be separated, yet you raised me..."

"You, you remembered?" Bai Yanlang was stunned. How could it be?

The doctor clearly said that it was impossible for him to recover his memory...

"Yes, I remember now. For the past twenty years, I have treated you as my biological father and believed everything you said. I never imagined that it was you who destroyed my family and made me accept a thief as my father for so many years."

Han Xingjian took out a dagger from his waist, pulled it out, and looked at Bai Yanlang, "Let's end this today."

The dagger stabbed Bai Yanlang's shoulder, and Bai Yanlang let out a painful groan.

Han Xingjian pulled out the dagger, as if all the past events had been forgiven at this moment. "I should have hated you, but now, I don't hate you that much."

The wound on Bai Yanlang's shoulder was bleeding. He had raised this child with his own hands. Even though he was not his biological son, didn't he treat him as his own?

This child was indeed kidnapped from his parents.

"I really..." Bai Yanlang's eyes were filled with an obscure emotion.

"I know." Han Xingjian said.

Perhaps it was because he knew this that he didn't hate it so much.

Han Xingjian looked at Bai Yanlang again, his eyes were clear. He didn't say anything else, stood up and left.

"Jane'er..." Bai Yanlang muttered to himself as he looked at Han Xingjian's back.

When he kidnapped Jane, she was only five years old, and when his master adopted him, he was also five years old.

Twenty years, thirty years, forty years...

It's been a long time.

Time is so long.

"Junior Sister, Ah Chuo, it's been a long time since I called you by your nickname. I owe it to Master, to Master's Wife, and to everyone at Xue'ao Villa—"

"You deserve to die."

The sword slashed across his neck and blood gushed out.

Twenty years of grievances and disputes were completely ended by this sword.

…

When the Lord of Lanling City arrived at the foot of the mountain, Hua Fushu, Ye Zelin, Qin Youran, Mu Qing and others had just cleared away the nets.

"Master."

"Master."

"City Lord."

Nan Xing asked, "City Lord, is the man surnamed Bai dead?"

Hua Fushu looked at Nanxing and said, "How could my master be alive after he took action? That Bai guy must be dead."

"The great revenge has been achieved!" Nanxing shrugged.

The Lord of Lanling City looked at the group of children in front of him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. It's what disciples should do. Look, we are fine." Hua Fushu turned around to show that he and Qin Youran were fine.

"I'm leaving the capital." The Lord of Lanling City said lightly.

Hua Fushu was not surprised. His master was a mysterious person who would not stay in the capital for long. He asked, "Master, where are you going?"

The Lord of Lanling City shook his head slightly. "I don't know where I will go next time, but I have to go back to Lanling first to send your junior sister Mu Ling back."

Hua Fushu couldn't bear to leave his master, so he took his master's arm and said, "Master, can you stay a few more days before leaving?"

The Lord of Lanling City wiped Hua Fushu's pretty nose and said, "Little girl, you can't bear to leave your master. You are already grown up and married."

"I just can't bear to leave you, Master. I don't know when I will see you next time." Hua Fushu muttered.

The Lord of Lanling City looked at Ye Zelin. This son-in-law was really good. As a husband, he doted on his little flower. As a subject, he was conscientious and dedicated, and spared no effort.

"Everyone has their own destiny, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Ye Zelin said, "Junior understands."

The Lord of Lanling City looked at Qin Youran, "My child, you and your princess must be well."

Qin Youran nodded and smiled.

After the master and his disciples said goodbye, the Lord of Lanling took Mu Ling back to Lanling, and Hua Fushu and others also returned to the city.

Hua Fushu and others were riding horses back to the city. Ye Zelin and Hua Fushu stopped halfway.

"Is there something?" Hua Fushu looked at Han Xingjian not far away.

Bai Xingjian said, "I'll return the Qingming Sword to you."

Hua Fushu looked at the Qingming Sword in Han Xingjian's hand. She remembered that she had told Han Xingjian that the Qingming Sword was hers, and Han Xingjian still remembered this.

"As long as you still remember it."

Han Xingjian threw the Qingming Sword over and Hua Fushu reached out to catch it.

Even if Han Xingjian did not return the Qingming Sword on his own initiative, Hua Fushu would find Han Xingjian and ask him to return the Qingming Sword.
