After being injured consecutively, Li Lanfeng's face turned pale as he helplessly leaned against the wall and looked towards Ling Lan with a pained yet complicated expression on his face.
After returning to his rational self, Li Lanfeng used his intelligent mind to its fullest. Soon, he made the connection and predicted the truth behind the Phoenix Thrall Fate.
He had always thought that he was walking on the path that defied the heavens. However in the end, he was played by fate. He wanted to stay far away from his king, but the reality of it was that he was using his all to get close to his king.
Li Lanfeng knew well that if there was someone in this world who could sit upon the throne, other than Ling Lan, there was no one else. Furthermore, the Ling family's totem was a phoenix. The Phoenix Thrall Fate which predicted the arrival of a king was clearly pointing towards Ling Lan.
