"He is..."
Hearing her mother's surprised cry and seeing her usually dignified and calm mother so excited, Wu Yiren looked behind her in confusion.
The man was dressed in a blue shirt and plain robe, with a feather fan and a scarf, and his long beard was held in his hand. He looked like an ordinary scholar.
Wu Yiren was stunned, Lin Yuan had already thrown herself into the man's arms, her voice choked with sobs:
"Zhou Lang, where have you been all these years? Why are you so cruel to abandon us mother and son?"
The man smiled and gently embraced Lin Yuan, saying in a gentle voice:
"Yuan'er, you are the mother of a country, why are you still so fond of crying?"
Lin Yuan raised her hand and gently punched his chest, but it was soft and powerless, like a spoiled little girl:
"You also said that you would never leave me, but why did you change your mind? Are you still blaming me for not going with you back then?"
The man stroked her hair and said softly, "Okay, my daughter is still here, don't let her laugh at you."
Lin Yuan stopped crying and let the man gently wipe her tears. She took the man's arm and walked to Wu Yiren:
"Yiren, call me daddy!"
Wu Yiren looked at her mother and the man in front of her with a confused look on her face.
For so many years, my mother has always been so graceful and dignified, and the model of the country. But now, in front of this extremely ordinary man, she looks like a little girl.
Wu Yiren found it really hard to accept, and she couldn't regard this strange man as her father.
"Yiren, he is your biological father, hurry up and call him!"
Lin Yuan was a little anxious. The man held her hand and smiled:
"It's my fault. I've been away for so many years. It's only natural that my daughter doesn't recognize me."
"No, Zhou Lang, Yiren just can't accept it for the time being. Once we leave West Royal City and live together, she will definitely accept you."
The man showed surprise: "Yuan'er, what did you say?"
Lin Yuan held the man's hand tightly, her eyes eagerly: "Zhou Lang, after today, I can leave West Royal City!"
The man looked at her deeply, with worry in his eyes: "Yuan'er, you said at the beginning that you would only leave if Wu Zheng was gone, could it be..."
Lin Yuan nodded: "Zhou Lang, I have completed my master's mission and will be free soon. Are you willing to go with me?"
The man hugged her and said, "Of course I am willing! Yuan'er, do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?"
"Husband..."
Lin Yuan was hugged by the man, her cheeks flushed, like a young girl who had just fallen in love.
Wu Yiren stood by and watched her parents' affection, but she didn't feel moved at all.
There is even an inexplicable sense of weirdness.
From the beginning, she felt that something seemed to be wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"My lady, will there be many dangers today? If so, I would rather you continue to stay in the palace, and I will watch over you and your daughter from afar."
The man spoke gently, and Lin Yuan was even more moved. She looked up at him:
"Don't worry, my husband. Today I will just ask Wu Zheng to abdicate and let the Sixth Prince chosen by our master take the throne. Then I can retire."
The man hesitated for a moment, and seemed to be very worried about Lin Yuan. After several gentle persuasions from her, he finally put his mind at ease, and then looked at Wu Yiren:
"My dear, you and Wu Zheng have fallen out today, so what about Yiren? If Wu Zheng finds out that Yiren is not his daughter, will Yiren be in danger?"
"Why don't you let Yiren come with me now? My daughter and I will wait for you at the place where we met that year."
Lin Yuan thought for a moment, nodded and said, "My husband is right. I didn't want Yiren to be involved in today's incident. I feel most at ease if my daughter goes with you."
"I don't!"
Wu Yiren shouted, "Mom, I want to be with you!"
Lin Yuan said, "Silly child, after today's incident, our family of three can be together forever. Be obedient and follow your father first."
"No! He's not my daddy!"
Wu Yiren glared at the man. Somehow, she always felt that there was a strange aura around this man.
"Yiren!" Lin Yuan's voice turned cold: "How can you talk to your father like that?!"
The man gently persuaded: "My dear, don't blame your daughter. It's me who didn't fulfill my father's responsibilities for so many years. Yiren, don't worry, I will always stay by your side and will never leave again."
Wu Yiren took a half step back, still unwilling to follow the man.
"Yiren, there's no time left. If I don't go back, Wu Zheng will get suspicious. If you don't want your mother to be in danger, listen to me now!"
Lin Yuan's voice became stern. Wu Yiren bit her lip and finally had to give in.
She was brought up by Lin Yuan since she was a child, and her mother's authority cannot be disobeyed.
Reluctantly following the man out of the room, Lin Yuan warned: "Yiren, don't be willful. Listen to your father. He won't hurt you."
“Mother…”
Wu Yiren wanted to say something, but Lin Yuan flashed out and left the palace.
Only she and the "daddy" who suddenly appeared were left.
Wu Yiren pouted, her heart full of embarrassment and discomfort, and that weird feeling became stronger and stronger.
"Daughter, let's go."
The man smiled gently and looked at her with loving eyes.
Wu Yiren didn't want to disobey her mother, so she snorted lightly as a sign of agreement.
The two walked out of the palace. Wu Yiren suddenly stopped and looked back. Her heart skipped a beat and she looked at the man:
"How did you get into the palace if you have no cultivation? Where are the guards?"
She finally discovered where that strange feeling came from.
As my mother said, this man has no cultivation, so how did he bypass the guards and suddenly enter her room?
The mother was so overwhelmed with love when she met him again after a long separation that she didn't even notice this.
But she was different. She had no feelings for this man. She realized something was wrong and her expression suddenly became fierce:
"Who the hell are you?!"
The man still had a smile on his face as he looked at Wu Yiren, but the kindness in his eyes slowly changed.
The air around seemed to be stagnant, the space was distorted, Wu Yiren's feet were shaking, and she was horrified to find herself in the middle of a storm.
What’s strange is that there are still people coming and going around, and the sun is still shining brightly above.
It seemed like she was the only one in the hurricane.
The man in front of him had a strange black light flashing in his pupils and grinned:
"Yiren, I am indeed your biological father. Have you forgotten? I just said that I want you to stay by my side forever."
…
"Madam, are you Qiu Zhihe, or...Xia Qinglian?"
The heavenly fighting field.
In the isolation formation set up by Qiu Zhihe, Qin Gengyun looked at her and asked softly.
Qiu Zhihe turned around and looked at him quietly for a long time. She stroked her belly with a gentle smile on her face:
"My dear husband, I am your wife. I have your flesh and blood in my belly. That's enough... Does it matter who I am?"
