Chapter 3941: Father’s Mind

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Only then did Princess Raoxi realize that her father was afraid.

Why was his father so scared when Feng Wu was mentioned?

“Father, are you afraid of Jun Linyuan?” That couldn’t be…

Princess Raoxi thought, “Jun Linyuan is indeed very powerful, but that was after he went berserk. If he hasn’t lost control… Jun Linyuan is an advanced Spiritual Saint, isn’t he? Father shouldn’t be so scared.”

The king wanted to kick her again.

Was his daughter born to take revenge from him? Why did she have to bring it up?

One Feng Wu was already frustrating enough, but now, Jun Linyuan was mentioned. The two of them put together… It gave the king a headache.

“Go away!” The king didn’t want to see Princess Raoxi.

“Father, about me marrying Jun Linyuan…” Princess Raoxi said hastily. The king gave her a “you idiot” look. “What did you say?”

Princess Raoxi said, “Father, have you forgotten? You agreed to let me marry Jun Linyuan, even if I’m only his concubine…’

“Are you an idiot?!”

The king couldn’t stand it anymore and gave her a “you idiot” look.

“I used to think that you were brilliant, Raoxi, and I even had the idea of making you the next king. But now… I’m so glad that I didn’t do that. If I had, the Northern Yan Kingdom would have been destroyed!”

Princess Raoxi was so angry that her face turned red.

The king said, “Do you really think that no one knows what you’ve been doing behind my back? Do you really think that I don’t know that you’ve joined hands with the Junwu Empire’s Firmament Palace, the Zuo family, and the Hua family to assassinate Feng Wu?”

“Father, actually…”

The king said, “Do you really think that you can do whatever you want without consequences? Do you think that the world should revolve around you? Do you think that Jun Linyuan is magnanimous enough to make you his concubine?!”

Princess Raoxi’s face turned even paler. “Father, I can explain… Jun Linyuan probably only cares about Feng Wu out of consideration. I have a source of information. The two of them

When Raoxi opened it, she saw that it was a letter from Jun Linyuan…

The letter contained a detailed description of what she had done, and the king was told to keep an eye on Feng Wu for a while. Jun Linyuan also said that he would pay Princess Raoxi a visit in a few days.

The king pointed at Princess Raoxi. “Don’t tell me you think Jun Linyuan is going to chat with you over tea.”

Frightened, Princess Raoxi dropped to her knees. “What does he want to do…”

So, her father was on Feng Wu’s side because of Jun Linyuan’s letter?

She still remembered the threatening words in the letter.

If he didn’t do as he was told, he would become the enemy of the Junwu Empire for a hundred years. One day, Jun Linyuan would arrive at the city and annihilate Northern Yan. Blood would flow like rivers!

“There will be blood everywhere!

“The empire will be our enemy for a hundred years!

“Jun Linyuan made that promise because he wanted to protect Feng Wu. How can you say that Jun Linyuan was only caring about the girl’s feelings? Are you going to lie to me again?!” The king was shaking from head to toe.

God knew how furious he was when he read the threats in the letter!

As a king, he couldn’t wait to take action when he was threatened like this. He wanted to go straight to the Junwu Empire and kill the emperor! The king used to be a hot-blooded young man as well!

However, he saw the battle in the temple.

Seeing Jun Linyuan in his berserk state and how close Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan were to each other, the king knew that the Northern Yan Kingdom was doomed.

Luck wasn’t on Northern Yan’s side.

It was with the Junwu Empire!

Why should he compete with fate? He didn’t have a death wish.

This time, Princess Raoxi was genuinely frightened. She burst into tears. “I didn’t know… I didn’t know that they would find out… I really didn’t know…”

The king waved her off. “Leave.”

Princess Raoxi panicked. “Father, please help me! I’ll make up for it! Even if I can’t marry Jun Linyuan, there’s still Feng Xun. I’m willing to marry Feng

Xun…”

The king took a deep breath. “Marry Feng Xun?”

Princess Raoxi nodded.

The king had to take a deep breath to fight back his rage. “Marry Feng Nun? I don’t know if you’ll survive Jun Linyuan’s rage yet. I don’t you will.”

The king remembered that Feng Wu had said before that she didn’t like Jun Linyuan and that they weren’t a couple. He hoped that was the case. He hoped that God would give Northern Yan a chance.

“Lock Princess Raoxi up!” The king waved his hand. “I’ll deal with her later!”

No matter how hard Princess Raoxi cried, the king didn’t give in this time. He only cared about the kingdom.

With his hands behind his back, Patriarch Huyan walked along the main street.

Patriarch Huyan was usually either in the tower or in seclusion, and only a handful of people from the royal family had ever seen him. Therefore, no one recognized him when he walked on the street with his hands behind his back.

Patriarch Huyan went to the Stingy Shop. The old man almost tripped when he saw the Patriarch. After that, he became even more obsequious and cautious…

Patriarch Huyan was here to vent his sarcasm, not to see someone kneel on the ground. He was soon bored. Waving his hand, he walked away. However, as soon as he left, the old man fell to the ground. Huyan Yichen said, “Grandpa?”

Old Huyan asked, “What was the Patriarch doing here?”

Huyan Yichen was at a loss as well. The Patriarch had never visited this shop

before, so why…

All of a sudden, Huyan Yichen smacked his forehead. “Grandpa, do you remember? I came here to ask you to help Xiao Wu during the battle in the temple. You weren’t there, were you? Is the Patriarch here to blame you?”

Old Huyan asked, “What?”

He was so anxious, but he really wasn’t there. If he had been, he would have helped Feng Wu!

This was bad…

Meanwhile, Patriarch Huyan had no idea how difficult it was for him to find someone to complain to.

All his old friends were either dead or in deep sleep, and only a few of them were still active in the world. It was so difficult to even talk to them.

Before he knew it, he was in the imperial palace.

The king had just locked up Princess Raoxi, and he was going to talk to Feng Wu to see if Raoxi could be spared. If it was up to Jun Linyuan, Raoxi would be dead.

He was still thinking about it when a figure dressed in gray walked into the imperial palace.

The king felt a chill run down his spine and turned his head involuntarily.

“Patriarch!”

The king cried out and blanched.

The Patriarch thought, “Look at how scared he is. How am I supposed to chat to him?”

Now that he was in the mood, he wanted to live like a normal person, but it was so difficult.

“What are you doing here? Please take a seat!”

After all, the king was much more level-headed than the others. When he saw the Patriarch, he only shuddered a little at first but was soon back to normal, albeit a little more respectful than usual.

Patriarch Huyan thought that the king was a reasonable man that he could talk to, so he sat down.

“Serve my best tea.” The king gave the eunuch a glance.

The eunuch knew how to read faces. He nodded and went out to make some tea.

Oh god, it was Patriarch Huyan… The eunuch felt his knees buckle.

Patriarch Huyan paid no attention to any of this. He sat there, looking rather dispirited.

The king was thrilled. That was the Patriarch..

He had been the king for so many years, but he had only seen the Patriarch a handful of times. The Patriarch usually wouldn’t come in person when he had instructions but would only send the message through his mind.

It was always a one-way command.

Therefore, in the king’s mind, the Patriarch was a lofty, unapproachable god. But now, he looked a little like a human being.

Why did he feel like a human now?

This was big news!

The king crouched down next to Patriarch Huyan. He didn’t dare to sit.

Patriarch Huyan gave him a sidelong glance. “Sit.”

The king hesitated. He didn’t think he was qualified to sit.

Patriarch Huyan rolled his eyes at him. If the king wasn’t going to sit down, was he going to raise his head like this the entire time?

Seeing that the Patriarch was displeased, the king sat down without hesitation. However, he only dared to sit at the edge of the chair.

At that moment, he finally knew how the officials felt around him. He was so nervous.

However, the idea of having only one Patriarch as their patron immediately appeased the king.

Patriarch Huyan had no idea that his presence was giving the king so much pressure. Right now, the chief eunuch was bringing him some tea, and he was stirring the tea in the cup.

The king panicked a little…

The Patriarch had shown up out of the blue and was going to have a nice chat with him. Was the Patriarch going to remove him from the throne?

The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became.

He and his senior eunuch exchanged looks and both saw panic in each other’s eyes.

Just then, Patriarch Huyan finally sighed.

The king was dumbfounded.

Speak!

“No, please don’t say anything. I don’t want to know!”

He was still fidgeting when Patriarch Huyan asked, “What do you think of that boy from the Jun family?” The boy from the Jun family?

Who was that?

“Jun Linyuan?” The king stammered. Patriarch Huyan threw a dirty look at him.

How scary!

The king’s stomach lurched as he racked his brain.

Why did the Patriarch suddenly ask about Jun Linyuan? What did he think of Jun Linyuan?

The Patriarch was from the Northern Yan Kingdom, and Jun Linyuan was from the Junwu Empire. The Patriarch might not be happy to have such a genius, because it meant that the Northern Yan Kingdom would have a great threat in the future.

It just so happened that Jun Linyuan and Feng Wu’s relationship was so complicated that there was something strange about it. Moreover, Feng Wu was the Patriarch’s favorite junior sister. So… what should he say to make the Patriarch happy?

Before the king could figure it out, Patriarch Huyan spoke first.

The old man sighed. “That Jun Linyuan isn’t all that nice. He just looks alright, doesn’t he?”

The king was thrilled. The Patriarch didn’t like Jun Linyuan at all. That was great!

The king nodded immediately. “That’s right! He’s not all that good-looking!”

Patriarch Huyan rubbed his chin and said, “I don’t think his cultivation level is very high either.”

Well… About that…

The king said, “That’s right! Her cultivation level is mediocre!”

Patriarch Huyan said, “He’s not a good person either.”

The king said, “That’s right. He has a bad temper and can go berserk.”

So, the Patriarch didn’t like Jun Linyuan. If that was the case, then…

Before the king could finish feeling excited, Patriarch Huyan rolled his eyes at him.

“Are you blind?” The Patriarch stared at the king.

The king was speechless.

Patriarch Huyan said, “You can’t find anyone that looks like Jun Linyuan on this continent!”

The king was shaking from head to toe.

Patriarch Huyan said, “There’s also his cultivation level and his talent. If you find another like him, I’ll let you be the patriarch!”

The king blanched.

He was almost in tears…

He thought, “Patriarch, you said it yourself that Jun Linyuan wasn’t all that good… I was only siding with you. Why did he scold me?”

Patriarch Huyan glared at the king. “Are you not happy with what I said?” The king said hastily, “No, of course not…”

But he couldn’t bring himself to say it. “Patriarch, you set the tone yourself.

Why is it all my fault?”

An idea struck him all of a sudden. He knew what was going on!

Wasn’t this how a father-in-law would treat a son-in-law?!

He was picky about his son-in-law’s faults, but when other people criticized the latter, he wouldn’t have it. However, he wouldn’t stop picking on his son-in-law. Deep down, the Patriarch was just a little jealous.

As expected, Patriarch Huyan spoke again. “That’s right. He can go berserk. What if he injures Xiao Wu next time? Plus, he’s going to be the emperor one day. What if he mistreats the girl? And…”

Seeing the Patriarch ramble on like an ordinary father, the king was amazed. He didn’t know how to react..
