Chapter 666: Chapter 153: Returning Dreams to Antiquity (45)

With the death of the Silver Wolf King, the plan against the Lionheart royal family was completely foiled because they didn’t know who had killed the Silver Wolf King.

"This must be a trap set by the Lionheart royal family!" The werewolf Heavenly God almost spat blood upon receiving the news. With this defeat, the werewolf clan had no choice but to retreat from the prosperous heartlands of the beast clans and flee to distant lands to avoid retaliation from the Lionheart royal family.

A month and a half later, four individuals, old and frail, finally arrived at the most prosperous capital of the beastmen.

"We..." Chang Xin was just about to reveal her identity and announce her return, but was stopped by Shi Feiqing, "Don’t, my dear little aunt, I am the young clan leader of the Lionheart royal family. Showing up in such a sorry state, wouldn’t people laugh their heads off?"

"Who dares to laugh at you?" Chang Xin didn’t understand, "Who could survive after so many ambushes?"

"But my dear aunt, who knows we were ambushed? Even if they did, they’d surely pretend not to know."

After some persuasion, Chang Xin reluctantly agreed to conceal her face, and they sneaked into the capital, arriving at the Beast Battle Hall.

The guards at the Beast Battle Hall stopped the four people and shouted, "Who goes there? Skulking about like rats..."

The guard couldn’t finish his sentence because Chang Xin had already ripped off her mask.

"Lady Zhanzi?!"

This guard might have seen Chang Xin in such a disheveled state for the first and only time in his life, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Chang Xin, not in a good mood, kicked him, "Get out of the way! Blind fool!"

"Aye aye, yes yes, Sister Chang Xin, please, please come in."

Back at the Beast Battle Hall, everyone first took a good bath and changed into clean clothes.

Afterward, Chang Xin searched the entire hall but did not see the Dragon King.

Having no choice, she grabbed a warrior of the Beast Battle Hall and asked, "Where is my master?"

"Responding to Lady Zhanzi, the Dragon King was confined last month for leaving the capital without authorization, and should still be in the Judgment Office."

"What?!" Chang Xin was immediately furious. Her master must have wanted to come to their aid after learning of their ambush, but ended up suffering for it. Those treacherous scoundrels hiding in the shadows were truly despicable!

Chang Xin was also short-tempered and without another word headed straight to the Judgment Office.

But it seemed that the Judgment Office had expected Chang Xin’s arrival; a Judgment Officer had already been waiting for a while.

"Lady Zhanzi, Lord An commanded me to wait for you here, to take you into the inner hall upon your arrival."

"Where is my master?!" Chang Xin asked.

"The Dragon King is also in the inner hall, please follow me, Lady Zhanzi, and you’ll see."

"Alright!"

Chang Xin nodded and entered the Judgment Office.

The entire Judgment Office belonged to Shi Chong’an. She was Shi Chong’an’s daughter, so the Judgment Office was essentially hers. Therefore, she had no reservations and barged around inside.

Upon reaching the inner hall, she saw Shi Chong’an and the Dragon King leisurely playing Go.

"Playing Go, playing Go, what a lousy game to play!" Chang Xin, who had felt suffocated the whole journey, hadn’t shown her discomfort until now. Upon seeing the two fathers she was closest to, her face immediately contorted, and in a fit of rage, she smashed the Go board between them to pieces.

Seeing Chang Xin’s outburst, both fathers wisely said nothing, allowing her to have her tantrum until it finally subsided.

The weeping Chang Xin soon ran into the Dragon King’s arms and cried out, "Master, they’re dead, they’re all dead, I didn’t protect them!"

The Dragon King gently patted Chang Xin on the back and comforted her, "It’s alright, stop crying, it’s not your fault. Just having you come back alive is satisfying enough for your father and me."

"Master! Father!" Chang Xin suddenly raised her head, speaking solemnly, "Apart from the Snow Clan, the Yin Snake Clan, the Earth Spirit Ghost Clan, the Wolf Clan, the Bear Clan, who else is there? Which other clan?"

Shi Chong’an seemed prepared, pulling a piece of paper from his sleeve and handing it to his daughter.

Opening the note, she saw written on it: "Turtle Clan, Leopard Clan, Rabbit Clan, White Bird Clan, and over twenty other clans."

Shi Changxin’s brows furrowed slightly as she looked up at her father and asked, "Them? These clans are among the weakest of our beast clans. Do they have the qualifications to be involved in this matter?"

Shi Chong’an smiled faintly but didn’t speak.

Instantly, Shi Changxin realized that the list on the note wasn’t the clans involved in the matter, but the ones that weren’t involved!

At this thought, a chill surged in her heart.

It was only then that Shi Chong’an spoke: "Although most of those who acted against you are from foreign clans, how could they have entered without the assistance from within our own beast clans? The Wolf and Bear Clans have been pushed forward as the organizers, but they are not the true masterminds behind the scenes. If you want to avenge the three thousand warriors of the Disruption Army, you must strive to grow. Only when you break through to the Heavenly God Realm will you have the right to seek vengeance. Before that, you must pretend to know nothing. Changxin, can you do that?"

Shi Chong’an’s words revealed plenty of information, and Shi Changxin understood. Gritting her teeth, she nodded: "I can do it."

"Very well," Shi Chong’an nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Was it really Gui He who killed the Silver Wolf King?"

Shi Changxin shook her head slightly: "I don’t know. I was knocked out at the time and wasn’t aware of what happened."

This excuse was what Shi Feiqing had taught her on the way back. Gui He being so young and having killed the Silver Wolf King wasn’t glory; it was a death warrant. So, they decided to claim ignorance to the outside world. After all, no one would believe it anyway—let them guess.

Shi Chong’an did not ask further and simply nodded without saying more.

Meanwhile, the Crocodile Dragon King stood up and asked Shi Chong’an, "Now that Changxin has returned, may I leave?"

"No, the Heavenly God demanded that I detain you for three months, so it must be for three months."

"My damn..." the Crocodile Dragon King was speechless.

While this was going on, Shi Feiqing, having made his preparations, returned to the Lion Clan’s residence in the royal city in high spirits and announced that a banquet would be held that night, inviting the young elites of a hundred clans from the city to attend.

Upon hearing this news, all the noble scions were ecstatic. Receiving an invitation from the Young Clan Leader of the Lionheart King Clan was undoubtedly the most prestigious event in their lives.

"Young Master, Gui He is the only person of his generation from the Turtle Clan currently in the royal city. Should we invite him to the banquet?" asked the steward of the residence, specifically inquiring about this. They were unaware of what had happened during the journey, still thinking Gui He was hiding in the Beast Battle Hall. Because of Gui He’s special relationship with Shi Changxin, he sought Shi Feiqing’s instruction.

"Why not invite him? He is my brother-in-law," answered Shi Feiqing before sending the steward away.

But these words, once heard by the steward, struck him like a tidal wave. What did he mean by brother-in-law? Could it be that the Young Clan Leader had recognized Gui He and promised Shi Changxin to him?!

As night fell, the Lionheart King Clan’s residence welcomed a bustling and lively event after a long time.

Lights shone brightly inside the mansion, and renowned chefs from all over the city were invited to cook fine dishes, ensuring the success of the banquet.

Shi Feiqing sat at the main seat, receiving greetings from the young prodigies of various clans.

Lin Lang and Tian Xiang Hong had also received invitations and walked hand in hand to Shi Feiqing, bowing slightly and saying, "Lin Lang pays his respects to Young Master Feiqing. May the friendship between the Teng Snake Clan and the Lionheart King Clan last forever."

"Hahaha, of course. Lin Lang, please take a seat," replied Shi Feiqing with laughter.

"Little girl Tian Xiang Hong greets the Young Clan Leader."

Shi Feiqing nodded, acknowledged her with a gesture.

Tian Xiang Hong didn’t take offense at Shi Feiqing’s indifference, and with a slight smile, she took Lin Lang’s arm and they both stepped away.

It wasn’t until the banquet had started that Gui He slowly strolled in.

Seeing Gui He, Shi Feiqing couldn’t help but reveal a trace of a smile. Truth be told, they hadn’t spent much time together and were initially adversaries. But after going through a life-or-death experience, Shi Feiqing had long since considered Gui He a friend, the kind that would go through thick and thin.

No words were needed, just a look was enough.

But others didn’t notice.

Especially the noble disciples around Lin Lang, each displaying a look of disgust. Shi Changxin’s cry on Hong Tian Peak had left them bedridden for half a month at home.

"Gui He, tonight is an important occasion where the Lionheart Young Clan Leader invites a hundred clans to the banquet. How dare you be so disrespectful by coming this late? Do you not take Young Master Feiqing of the Lionheart Clan seriously?" barked a dog-headed beastman at Gui He.

Shi Feiqing, not avoiding trouble, feigned anger and said, "That’s right, arriving so late, don’t you think you should be punished with a few drinks?!"
