The word "love" touched Lin Bingxin deeply. She suddenly looked up at Hua Yubo. She hadn't misheard; he said he loved her. Her hands clenched tightly under her sleeves. It would be a lie to say she wasn't excited. She had been waiting for him to say those words her whole life, but why did he only say them now?
“Xin’er, I can give up the plan, but you must return to my side. Without you by my side, I have no one to confide in. I’m like a withered blade of grass on the edge of a cliff, waiting for spring to come before being blown off the cliff by the wind.”
Seeing the emotion on Lin Bingxin's face, he knew that she still cared about him. Even though he was ambitious, he wasn't someone who would abandon his wife and children. He had two motivations for doing this: first, he wanted the world—every man has ambition; second, he wanted to force her back to his side. To do this, he revealed his true intentions to her. He had been planning for her for several years. Was it easy for Hua Yubo?
"Mother..."
Hua Nongying looked at her mother. Over the years, her mother had always loved her father. Every night, when all was quiet, she would cry and list her father's faults. It was clear that her mother truly loved her father.
Lin Bingxin pondered Hua Yubo's words for a long time before asking seriously, "If I return to your side, will you really give up your plans and be a proper island master of Lingxian Island?"
"That's right. The reason I made that decision back then was because of your departure. The one who tied the knot must untie it. Xin'er, all the women I've taken to the island lord's mansion have been just for show. I've never been serious about them. Rujin was an accident. Her mother schemed against me. As you know, we only met after I married my first wife. I can't give you the position of my first wife. This has always made me feel guilty."
Hua Yubo lowered his eyes. She had returned to his side, and he would really give up. No matter what Bei Mingyaowei said, he would remain unmoved.
“I have never blamed you for this. As long as you give up your plans, I will give you half a month. If you are truly repentant, then I will forgive you.”
Lin Bingxin made her final decision and made the biggest concession. She had already reached the point of despair for him, but whenever the night was quiet, she would think of the good things he had done for her in the past. If it weren't for those beautiful memories, she might have been too desperate to go on living.
"Alright! Then you'll come back to the island lord's mansion with me tonight." As long as she can forgive him, he'll do anything.
“I will not go back to the Island Lord’s Mansion with you. You know best what kind of people your three daughters are. If anyone is going back, it will be the Young Master’s Mansion.”
That place caused her too much heartache; she will never go back.
“Then I, the island lord, will return to the young master’s residence with you.”
In short, wherever she is, he will be there.
"You should all go back! Put the gunpowder away safely."
Hua Yubo turned around and gave instructions to the person leading behind him.
"Yes, Island Lord." The hundreds of people breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they really didn't want to make enemies of their own people.
Hua Nongying smiled gently. Finally, he no longer had to be an unfilial son despised by the world.
"Father, this is the right thing to do."
He didn't want to say anything more; he knew his father would understand.
"Can't your father even tell right from wrong? If you and your mother weren't so stubborn, would your father have resorted to such methods? Your father is always very confident in what he does. Every time you go to the back mountain, your father knows that every man has ambition, and your father is no exception. But compared to gaining the world, your father hopes to win your and your mother's hearts more."
Hua Yubo laughed too, a very happy laugh. After all, a man can't escape the power of love.
"Father, Mother, let's go home." Hua Nongying felt incredibly relieved at this moment. He didn't ask for much; this was enough.
In the woods, Dongfang Yifei ran wildly with the still unconscious Nangong Ziyan in his arms.
Baili Jun Ao's sudden appearance blocked Dongfang Yifei's path.
"Put her down." Baili Jun'ao's face was gloomy, with a white cloth wrapped around his face. He couldn't let Wuguzi know that he had interfered in this matter yet.
"Get out of my way, you'd better not meddle in other people's business."
Dongfang Yifei, also masked, stared at Baili Jun'ao with a sinister look.
"Hmph! If you want to take her away, you'll have to get past me first."
As soon as Baili Jun'ao finished speaking, he threw a punch straight at Dongfang Yifei's face. Dongfang Yifei was agile and, just as the fist was about to hit his face, he turned his head to deflect the punch with ease.
Baili Jun'ao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his attack became even faster and more ruthless.
In an instant, the dark forest was filled with vibrant colors due to the fluctuations of spiritual energy, adding a dazzling touch to the inky night.
With a few quick leaps, Bei Ming Haotian instantly appeared between the two fiercely fighting opponents. His powerful aura startled both of them. With a fierce palm strike, filled with angry spiritual energy, he aimed straight at Dongfang Yifei's chest. His red eyes emitted an eerie light in the darkness. With Bei Ming Haotian's cultivation level, how could Dongfang Yifei possibly dodge? He took the full force of Bei Ming Haotian's palm strike.
"Ugh!" Dongfang Yifei groaned in pain as he watched Bei Minghaotian strike him with another palm.
Dongfang Yifei knew things were going badly and his plan had failed. Tonight, he could only retreat to advance, thinking that as long as he survived, he could always make a comeback. He suddenly threw Nangong Ziyan toward Beiming Haotian.
Just as Bei Ming Haotian was receiving Nangong Ziyan, Dongfang Yifei vanished instantly.
