Bab 143: Heart of the Kingdom

"You are cruel father!", Xing said after she stopped tickling him making AoTian confused. What did I do again?

But then Xing knew matters of the heart are always complicated. True, if her father agreed to take in Ran Weici, her fate this lifetime would have been better but will they have had a happy life? Will father accept her and will she find real happiness? It's all unknown and now it is useless to think about it as it is all over.

"Father", Xing placed AoTian's hand on her head, "Promise me you'll stay home tonight".

"Why?", he asked. Why is this girl acting weird again?

Xing knew the Gods will be able to protect them only if they are outside the palace. So she has to make sure her father and brother stay in their Manor tonight when there are plans to burn the city.
