How If (Dong Hua And Feng Jiu Story)

18. Unexpected mission

Warning: mature conten

Month after month passed, news blew like the wind. The news of the Jiuchongtian family splitting up spread to all realms. The news also entered the realm of the ghost tribe. The higher-ups of the ghost tribe start to worry, Ming Xia's wedding plans with Ye Hua made them worry about the fate of the ghost tribe's clash with the mermaid tribe.

Yan Zhi as the queen who reigned in the ghost realm tried to calm them down with a statement that the marriage can actually be a gate of peace. The mermaid tribe had been hostile to the ghost tribe all along because of their grudge for the collapse of the glory of Qin Chang, their brother-in-law and the previous ruler of the ghost tribe. If a marriage between a celestial tribe and a mermaid tribe took place, there would be no clash either. Let's just say that the mermaids had forgotten their old grudges. And, the higher-ups believed.

Zhi Lan tried hard to be neutral. It's true that the wedding plan might be able to stop the ghost tribe's clash with the mermaid tribe, however, Zhi Lan felt concerned about Bai Qian's fate. The news said that the seventeenth was expecting and she had to face it all. He also equated Bai Qian's condition with his wife. Two tough pregnant women. Zhi Lan always accompanied his wife in the midst of her conflicts with the higher-ups, but Bai Qian... Zhi Lan wasn't sure if the crown prince could always accompany her later.

If Zhi Lan remembered Ye Hua's wedding plan with Ming Xia, he remembered that the marriage proposal was aimed at Dong Hua Dijun earlier. Zhi Lan still remembered very well the events in the court when Julong, the ruler of the mermaid clan was finally arrested. Zhi Lan concluded that the Thaicen palace family should have suffered this calamity. However, calamity had turned to Ye Hua's family. Zhi Lan hoped that the conditions would improve soon.

Zhi Lan even thought that Julong's words at the trial were true. During this time, Dong Hua Dijun lived celibate for the sake of nature's peace. This decision made Dong Hua Dijun considered a neutral leader. Not leaning towards a clan. However, the almigty God had already married queen of Qin que. His side was definitely on Qin Que. This was what the Mermaid tribe used to make a marriage so that Dong Hua Dijun would side with them. And now, the great god never even showed his nose. He was so indifferent, continued his journey with his son and cousin in the mortal realm.

Zhi Lan sighed. He was still so absorbed in his daydream that he didn't hear that Li Ying, his daughter, had called out to him earlier. "Father, look at this. Father!" Li Ying had to move Zhi Lan's hand to wake him from his reverie.

"Eh," Zhi Lan gasped. He tried to carry himself and grabbed the scroll that was in Li Ying's hand. He also read what was written in it. The theory of virtue. Zhi Lan nodded then put his hand on top of Li Ying's head. "Good girl, you've memorized everything. Don't just memorize it but also understand it and practice it. Understand?"

Li Ying nodded. "I'll show it to Mother." The child seemed to be going to see Yan Zhi. Zhi Lan withdrew her hand before she moved any further then warned, "Don't disturb your mother if she's still sleeping. She needs some rest after a tiring meeting this morning."

"Yes, Father. Don't worry." Li Ying ran out of the room they were in. Zhi Lan sighed then looked at the scattered papers caused by Li Ying's actions. As a disciplined Kunlun who likes tidiness, Zhi Lan tidied things up even though he didn't even call the maids. His movement was stopped when his hand touched the paper that had a picture of a little girl and a little silver-haired boy on it. Apparently Li ying depicted herself hand in hand with Bai Gungun. Wait, is Li Ying interested in the silver-haired prince? The mini version of Dong Hua Dijun has also spread his charm. Hopefully it's just a momentary obsession.

Zhi Lan sighed again. Who are they not interested in anything close to Dong Hua Dijun? Beauty and splendor always surround him. He was even blessed with wisdom, a beautiful wife and now, a wonderful son. Was Zhi Lan feeling envious? No. He was even one of those people who had always felt help from Dong Hua Dijun's wisdom. Zhi Lan already owed Dong Hua Dijun a lot. Yan Zhi's pregnancy did not even go unnoticed by Dong Hua Dijun's mother-in-law who gave him tips on pregnancy care through Dihou. His marriage did not escape the intervention of Dong Hua Dijun. His life path to become a husband and father-to-be is a miracle.
