"It's alright, you did well!" Li Hengyi whispered in comfort, gently rubbing Xie Zhinuan's head.
He said sternly, "The one hiding in the tree, what kind of hero hides his head and shows his tail?"
Lian Sheng jumped down from the tree, scoffed and said, "You thief, breaking into the Lian Family's forbidden grounds, and you still dare to spout such madness!"
"..."
Li Hengyi remained silent.
Lian Huai looked at Lian Sheng, recognized him after a moment, and called out, "Lian Sheng?"
"..."
Lian Sheng looked towards Lian Huai.
It had been ten years since they'd last seen each other, but he still could recognize his own father.
He pursed his lips and reproached, "I never thought, ten years ago it was you who led to our Lian Family being wiped out overnight, and ten years later, you're bringing outsiders into the Lian Family's forbidden grounds. Aren't you afraid you'll have no face to meet our ancestors after you die?"
Lian Sheng's words were quite harsh.
