Chapter 845: Chapter 845: Who is that figure?

After finishing his words, the Second Prince pulled Nan Feng into his embrace, "This just proves it, all your so-called beliefs were nonsense, and you’ve been scheming against me. If only you had followed me in the previous life, we could have been a pair of joyous mandarin ducks!"

Nan Feng pushed him away, "Stop talking nonsense. You and I stand for opposite principles, with no common ground between good and evil. I have no desire for whatever title you hold as the Second Prince. The murderous deeds you’ve committed will one day be judged by the heavens, and though retribution may be delayed, it cannot be avoided."

The Second Prince began with a trace of anger, but soon he laughed, pulling Nan Feng into his arms once more. When she pushed again, this time she couldn’t break free and in her desperation, she lifted her leg and struck out.

Fortunately, the Second Prince was on guard; otherwise, the consequences would have been too dreadful to contemplate. His anger flared up, "Nan Feng, I never intended to kill you. When you jumped into the sea, my first instinct was to jump in and save you!"

"So what?" Nan Feng struck again.

However, when Nan Feng executed a move she had never used before, she froze in shock.

She knew lightfoot technique?

Even Big Boss Fu was stunned.

An imposing figure suddenly appeared in Nan Feng’s mind, saying, "This is how you practice lightfoot technique..."

Who was he?

Nan Feng tried hard to remember, but no matter how much she racked her brain, she couldn’t recall this person. A headache intensified, and she fainted once more.

The Second Prince caught Nan Feng’s waist just in time.

...

Within and outside Shangzhi City, Brother Ye rode his horse in search daily, while his subordinates advised him to give up, but how could he.

If it had not been for his insistence on fighting, on fulfilling his foster father’s last wish, how could he have separated from Nan Feng, and how could he have caused her to be chased off a cliff.

Liang Shuang was the direct reason for Nan Feng’s plight, so Brother Ye did not dare to take it lightly. While he went out to search, Liang Shuang followed, and with Brother Ye’s powerful presence, she did not dare speak when he was silent.

Yet after another half a month of searching, there was still no sign of Nan Feng.

Subordinate Li Ze and the others had all persuaded Brother Ye to give up. They didn’t dare tell Brother Ye that perhaps Nan Feng had been carried away by wild wolves after falling down. They merely suggested that Nan Feng might be sparring with Brother Ye, and she might appear when she had had enough fun.

In reality, they knew that after so long without a sign, the odds were grim.

Brother Ye, holding Nan Feng’s white jade hairpin, sat at the very spot where she fell from the cliff, and he remained there for the better part of the day.

It was not until evening that he shouted into the valley, "Nan Feng, where on earth are you?"

His voice echoed through the valley, causing the accumulated snow on the trees to fall in flurries.

...

The night Brother Ye returned to camp, Li Ze immediately came to report to him, "General, Dashun has withdrawn its troops."

"They’ve withdrawn?"

The two armies were originally in a truce for half a year, but both sides were secretly sharpening their swords, intending to settle the score after six months. Previously, Dashun had just moved its troops back to a suitable boundary line, but now they had completely pulled back their stationed troops.

What was going on?

"General, could there be deceit involved?" Li Ze asked.

"Continue monitoring every action of Dashun, we cannot let our guard down even a bit," Brother Ye ordered.

"Yes, General!"

Another half month passed, and then news came from the Palace: Dashun had sent an envoy to discuss peace and was ready to marry their Princess to the Emperor as his consort, with the aim of halting all hostilities. As for Brother Ye and Lu Jianxi, both were summoned back to the court to report.

...

When Dashun suddenly announced a ceasefire, it caused jubilation throughout the nation of Dajin. On the day Brother Ye and Lu Jianxi returned to the capital, the grand road outside the Imperial Palace was packed so densely that not even water could trickle through. Many common folks came spontaneously to both sides of the road to welcome Brother Ye’s return.
