Broken Bonds

Chapter 44

Leaving the embrace of the Sect Master, Yan Feili felt cold. But when he heard the Sect Master’s words and saw the figure hidden, he was startled.

Ling Zhu’s light work had reached an incredible level. If it were not for the Sect Master to call out, Yan Feili would not have noticed it. He wouldn’t even know when Ling Zhu came. 

Yan Feili became a little flustered, wondering if Ling Zhu had seen him and the Sect Master just now.

“This subordinate neglected his duties and failed to take General Yan away.”  Ling Zhu knelt on one knee.

Yan Feili hurriedly explained behind Beitang Ao, “Sect Master, he is not to blame for this matter. It is this subordinate’s own decision.”

“Ling Zhu, you get up. It’s not the time to talk about this.” Then Beitang Ao asked indifferently, “When is it now?” 

“It’s almost time to return with the Sect Master of the West Gate.”

Beitang Ao glanced back at Yan Feili, seeing him holding a sharp sword in his hand with a firm attitude. Yan Feili wanted to retreat with him which warmed his heart.

This had always been the case for so many years. As long as Beitang Ao looked back, he would see Yan Feili following behind him. Before, Beitang Ao thought it was a matter of course and never noticed how alluring Yan Feili’s eyes were. This person had been following him with such eyes. Beitang Ao had already noticed a subtle change in his mood. It all started when Yan Feili said that he was leaving him. Since Yan Feili left Jianjing, he had been a little bit distracted and uneasy. Even the newly married wife couldn’t comfort his empty heart.

It wasn’t until a secret letter from the battlefield that he rushed to Yan Feili that he felt at ease. Yan Feili’s existence was as natural as breathing and just as important!

Beitang Ao suddenly dispelled the idea of ​​letting Yan Feili leave with Ling Zhu.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

“Ling Zhu, you return and inform the Sect Master of the West Gate to follow the plan.”

“Tfr.”

Fair enough! If you really want to get rid of it, we will restore our previous relationship. 

What I said after was not true either. 

Yan Feili looked at Beitang Ao’s back and understood the meaning of what he said. Not the truth. What the Sect Master said was not true.

He was agitated and his breathing immediately rose for a short moment. Then he suppressed it again.

Beitang Ao heard his changes, knowing that he finally understood. However, there were still many things and there will always be time for them to figure it out slowly. Especially the truth from each other. 

Since the Demon Forest incident, the two of them had acted alone. Now, the tacit understanding between them was better than before.

Beitang Ao and Yan Feili broke through the front door of the dungeon, a part of the East Palace of the Prince of Yue Kingdom. They sneaked into the bedroom of the crown prince and picked a concubine up from the bed.

Beitang Ao found his silver dragon whip in the hall. The whip gently and skillfully struck the prince’s face, leaving a unique scar.

“His Royal Highness is in good spirits. The sky is not dark, so I am eager to rejoice. It’s really not the right time to come here!” Beitang Ao glanced at the trembling beauty on the bed, “What a pity for the beauty. I’m afraid you’ll never have the chance to be favored by His Royal Highness in the future.” 

The prince thought Beitang Ao was going to kill him. There was a sharp pain in the crotch. He looked down and rolled his eyes. He fainted.

“When the prince wakes up, tell him that I am keeping him alive to let him see with his own eyes what the fate of offending me is like!” Beitang Ao coldly said to the concubine, “By the way, let the prince tell Dian General Wujie, who dared to go against me, that I need him to pay ten times the price of the country!”

Then he clicked on the woman’s and left the East Palace with Yan Feili.

Yan Feili’s heart jumped when he heard Beitang Ao’s last words, but then told himself not to think too much. 

Pay ten times the price of the country… Thinking of the Sect Master’s cold and solemn expression when he said that, Yan Feili felt that the price might be very high, maybe too much that it would change the color of the world.

When the two of them left the East Palace, they found a wine cellar in the back garden. Beitang Ao broke all the barrels inside and scattered them in the garden. Then a fire broke out and a red sky was ignited in the darkening night.

They stood on the mountainside of the western mountain outside the palace. Beitang Ao was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

“Feili, what are you thinking?” 

“Sect Master, the city is heavily guarded, we should evacuate as soon as possible.”

In Huacheng, Ximen Yue led a group of people to evacuate and sent others to cause chaos in the city before leaving. All the relevant places of the Dian people were picked.

The Huacheng Fortress was in chaos.

“I have made an appointment with Ximen Yue in the dense forest outside the city.” Then Beitang Ao remembered something, “They forced you to eat Mituoxian, let’s go see Doctor Qiu when we get back… I’m afraid it’s not incomprehensible.” 

Yan Feili smiled bitterly and said nothing. Mituoxian was not a poison, naturally, there was no corresponding antidote. The Sect Master said this just to comfort him.

Seeing his expression, Beitang Ao said, “Feili, they forced you to take a few pills.”

“One and a half,” Yan Feili told him the matter again.

“Mituoxian is certainly addictive. The addicted will be miserable when the onset of drug addiction comes around. Mercy is a quick death. Unfortunately, you are served one and a half too late.” 

The North Gate pondered for a moment, “In fact, there is no symptomatic antidote to the Mituoxian. If the addicted person can survive with willpower, he should be able to let the body excrete those toxins on his own. If you take some medicines to disperse and resist the drug addiction, after a few days, the drug properties should gradually disappear.”

“Sect Master, let’s go.”

Beitang Ao nodded. The two figures disappeared into the darkness.
