209 Affairs of the Heart
Bai Xiao, the head of the Bai family, and his three sons were all talented generals.
They attacked fiercely and took down more than ten cities in Wu’an.
The Wu’an Kingdom was about to be defeated.
Their maternal ancestor, who was at that time the Imperial Capital of Wu’an, had gathered the ministers to prepare for peace talks.
Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly reversed.
The two countries fought a few more rounds, and news of victory came from the Wu’an battlefield.
Something had also happened in the East Continent. The Bai family had been found guilty of treason. Bai Xiao and his three sons had also died on the battlefield.
Next was the peace talks between Wu’an and the East Continent. The flames of war suddenly stopped.
His uncle had used a few years to become the Emperor of the Wu’an Empire.
Shen Lang remembered that when he was very young, he had asked his uncle a very childish question. “Uncle, are you happy to be the emperor? Because you have the highest status, everyone has to listen to you and you can have whatever you want.”
How did Uncle reply to him back then?
Uncle said he was unhappy because his heart was dead.
At that time, Shen Lang was still young and did not understand the meaning behind his words. Later on, he learned from his mother that his uncle loved a woman deeply. That woman had a wish. She hoped that the East Continent and Wu’an could have a truce and that there would be no more war in this world.
The reason why his uncle became a tyrant and got to where he was today was that he wanted to fulfill that woman’s wish.
However, that woman seemed to have disappeared from this world.
Uncle had always believed that the woman was not dead and had been looking for her. Now, he was already possessed.
Shen Lang actually had his own selfish motives this time. He wanted to help his uncle get over the emotional pain brought by that woman. At the very least, he wanted his uncle to understand that that woman was already dead. He did not need to wait for that woman so foolishly anymore.
Shen Lang really couldn’t stand it anymore. His brave uncle had been ruined by a woman his entire life.
“I can tell you the whereabouts of the Ten Direction Mystic Spirit Bracelet, but whether you can get it will depend on your own ability. Also, I want you to find evidence that Bai Wan is dead.”
Mo Beiyuan was confused by him. The Ten Direction Mystic Spirit Bracelet belonged to Bai Wan, but Shen Lang asked him to find evidence to prove that she was dead. Then, who had the Ten Directions Mystic Spirits Bracelet?
What did he mean by that?
However, Shen Lang quickly clarified his doubts.
“The Ten Direction Mystic Spirit Bracelet is with my uncle now. That’s right, it’s in the hands of Emperor Wu’an. To be honest, my uncle once had a relationship with Bai Wan and has no intention of forgetting it. He has always believed that Bai Wan is still alive and has never given up on finding her.”
As Shen Lang spoke, he laughed. “As you can see, the current Wu’an Imperial Palace doesn’t have a single heir. I want someone to inherit the throne of Wu’an. Therefore, I’ll make a deal with you. The Yuan King won’t disappoint me, right?”
Mo Beiyuan’s eyes darkened. He was not interested in knowing about Xuanyuan Yu’s love affairs and did not want to get involved.
However, the Ten Direction Mystic Spirit Bracelet was the only way to cure Sweetcake.
It was impossible for him to give up.
Shen Lang said, “Rather than saying it’s a deal, it’s more like asking the Yuan King to do me a favor. Actually, there have long been rumors in the five kingdoms that Bai Wan died. Otherwise, she would have investigated the Bai family’s injustice long ago, right?”
