"Why did the Ming Kingdom not retaliate against the war? What I mean is, if they were worried that the citizens would suffer casualties, they could definitely hire mercenary warriors. Wouldn't that at least be better than not resisting at all?" Yue Yang really wanted to ask what Yi Nan's Aunt was thinking.
"Regardless of whether it is Her Highness or the Valley Mistress, both of them are very kind and tolerant. They don't like to fight wars. In their hearts, no matter whether it is a peasant or a hired mercenary, they are all human lives. You're still too young to understand their love and care for life. In their hearts, human life is the most important thing to them. As for their country, glory and gold, all of these things are not important. We, the Butterflies and Hundred Flowers Clans, did not create the country for prestige. Rather, it is to better preserve the legacy of the clan throughout generations... Since both generations are going to be annihilated, the country isn't important any longer. We'll just leave the matters of dissolution or invasion to other people. Since we can't manage it, then we might as well let our hands go. If there is no people, then why would we need that much land to do things?" The answer from Yi Nan's aunt shocked Yue Yang.
Yue Yang never expected Yi Nan's aunt to say this.
If it was another person, Yue Yang might have thought that the other person was a hypocrite.
However, when Yi Nan's aunt, as well as Fourth Mother who was sitting beside her said these, Yue Yang suddenly felt that this was very reasonable. If it was a person like Fourth Mother who cared deeply about relationships, he believed that she would govern the country in the same way. This was because people like Fourth Mother were kind by nature and did not have any desire to fight at all! They were used to resigning themselves to fate... It would be strange if they wanted to resist!
Yue Yang really wanted to ask about the identity of the pitiful guy's blood mother, but he was also afraid that the pitiful guy had known this long ago. He would be exposed if that were the case.
Moreover, the old fox, Xia Hou Wei Lie, Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the others were also present. Even if he asked, it might not be a convenient place for answers.
"Since that's the case, if you need us kids to be your runner or anything, you can tell us." Of course, Yue Yang acted as an obedient child, trying as best as he could to leave a good impression in front of Yi Nan's aunt. It could be seen that Yi Nan's aunt paid great attention to Yi Nan's future. Otherwise, she would not personally come here, or even wait for Yue Yang to wake up before asking him questions.
"You're all just little kids. As long as you don't forget to cultivate, it's fine if you play around to your heart's content." Yi Nan's aunt laughed. "I'm not here to hire you as labour. I only heard that Yi Nan gave her necklace to you, so I wanted to see you."
"Ah, I didn't know at that time that she was... That time, she said that she would introduce her little sister to me. Does Yi Nan have a little sister?" Yue Yang asked while acting as if he knew nothing.
"She didn't. She was an only child. It was not easy for us to protect her, too. She's shy and did not dare to say the truth in front of you. Both the Butterfly and the Hundred Flowers' Clan's new generation had all withered away. A few days ago, I found out that Ah Xian was actually a descendant of the Hundred Flowers Clan. Now we have flourished and brought up two girls. I am deeply gratified. I have never imagined that the Hundred Flower's Clan would have descendants, it was really a blessing from the heavens. A male descendant like you is very rare, you are the only one from both the Butterflies and the Hundred Flowers Clan this hundred years past." Yue Yang immediate sweated profusely upon Yi Nan's aunt's words. He thought, what kind of infertility did they have in their clans? No wonder they didn't even want their own country anymore, they didn't even have a male descendant to continue their bloodline.
