Zuiying saw the shadow guards surround him and immediately fought back with his martial art skills. However, itâs hard to face enemies all around with just two fists. Soon enough, he was seized.
âLet go of me!â Zuiying struggled nonâstop.
Xu Ziling walked up to Zuiying with a wicked smile and said, âThereâs a big gift waiting for you back at the manor. Donât you want to go see it?â
Zuiying scowled at Xu Ziling. His instincts told him it was nothing good.
Xu Ziling leaned up against General Xu, then said in a sweet voice, âThank you daddy!â
General Xu affectionately stroked Xu Zilingâs head. âLingâer, are there any other shadow guards you want? I can get them for you,â he said softly.
Xu Ziling shook her head and smiled. âNo father. I just one want the one shadow guardâZuiying.â
General Xu smiled lovingly at Xu Ziling, then spoke to Han Moze. âI still have orders at hand, so I shall take my leave. Take care, Your Majesty.â
Han Moze furrowed his brows and flatly replied, âTake care, General Xu.â
Then, General Xu and Xu Ziling walked out of the palace with dozens of shadow guards and a detained Zuiying behind them.
Han Moze gazed at the silhouette of Zuiyingâs back and sighed, then turned heel.
After Han Moze returned to the Dark Moon Palace, Han Moxi and Lian Jiuhua arrived to visit him.
âRoyal brother, itâs fantastic that youâve seen things through!â Han Moxi wore a gentle smile on his face that could practically melt hearts.
Lian Jiuhua patted Han Mozeâs shoulders and smiled happily in silence.
Han Moze squinted slightly, then spoke with determination in his voice. âI must find Shuangâer no matter what.â
Lian Jiuhua and Han Moxi felt much better seeing Han Moze with his new found confidence.
Zuiying fought furiously throughout the entire journey but it was no use. âXu Ziling, quickly let me go! Even if I did something bad to you, the humiliation from these past few days should have been enough to make up for it all. What more do you want?â He couldnât help but yell angrily.
Xu Ziling came to a stop, then spun around and coldly replied, âZuiying, you teased me in front of everyone. Thatâs enough for me to kill you a hundred times over!â
Beside her, General Xu suddenly erupted in fury. âLingâer, this shadow guard actually dared to tease you? Outrageous!â
âI didnât tease Young Miss Xu. Please believe me General Xu. General Xu, I have heard of your extraordinary vigor in battle, your decorum, and your air of righteousness, so you must know just how unruly your own daughter is. I simply ate the congee that Young Lady Xu prepared for His Majesty, but Young Lady Xu has thought of every means possible to make life difficult for me. She even used...â
Xu Zilingâs gaze sparkled for a moment and before Zuiying could finish, she hurried smiled at General Xu. âOh Father, you should head back first. This shadow guard is incredibly crafty. Otherwise, he wouldnât have slipped through my fingers. His words cannot be trusted!â
âGeneral Xu, I beg that you let me go. Iâve been framed! General Xu, if you have a speck of justice in your heart, you mustnât protect your daughterâs chaotic ways and allow for her to torture me!â Pleaded Zuiying with General Xu in an emotional voice.
âGag Zuiying! I donât like hearing his nonsense!â cried Xu Ziling coldly at the shadow guards on both sides.
âYes, Young Lady!â Replied a shadow guard, as he pulled out a handkerchief and shoved it violently into Zuiyingâs mouth.
Zuiyingâs cries were muffled.
General Xu stared at Xu Ziling and spoke to her in a gentle voice. âLingâer, every person is raised by their parents. Donât randomly kill innocent people. If this shadow guard really didnât do anything wrong, then let him go after youâve had your revenge!â
