Xie Yu raised his hand and quietly wiped away his tears.
He still was the stubborn young Emperor, unwilling to show his weakness to the outside world.
Turning his back on the Regent King, Xie Yu’s tone remained as calm as possible: "I ask you, since you’ve decided to rebel, why did you help when you saw those people attacking the Imperial City?"
"Isn’t my death your ultimate goal?"
The Regent King lifted his head, murmuring desolately, "I only resented Your Majesty for disregarding years of ruler-official relationship and repeatedly humiliating me."
"But when that immense army truly surrounded the edge of the Imperial City, I couldn’t stand by and do nothing."
"The lands of Yan Country have come this far under my support of Your Majesty."
"How could I watch all my efforts go to waste, how could I watch as Your Majesty is harmed by others!"
"Therefore, I did not hesitate; I and my son went into battle to slay enemies, even if it meant dying, it would be for Yan Country."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yu remained silent.
"Alright." He said just this single word.
Then, Xie Yu turned around and waved his hand, "Take this imperial decree, you may leave now."
The Regent King was stunned: "Your Majesty won’t execute me?"
Xie Yu gave a bitter smile: "Originally, I did indeed harbor the intent to kill."
"However, since you still hold this nation and family dear, I am willing to forgive you one last time."
"Later, I will charge you with crimes and exile your entire family, but for your merits in saving the country, everyone has seen, therefore your death sentence can be waived."
"Once out of the Imperial City, take all your possessions and go wherever you wish."
The Regent King was shocked.
Ultimately, he knelt heavily and said, "I, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
That day, the Regent King left the Capital with Yuan Zhen, Yuan Ruxin, and Yuan Xi, swiftly on a carriage.
They took part of their possessions to ensure a good life elsewhere.
It was at the time of sunset.
Yuan Ruxin leaned half her body out of the carriage, looking at the distant and fading Capital behind them.
"Brother, do you think Master will appear? I haven’t said goodbye to her yet."
Yuan Zhen’s eyes were complex, filled with reluctance.
He said, "She will. Our master has great magic, if she wishes to come, she can meet us anytime."
The snowfall stopped, and the gloomy clouds dispersed.
The golden sunlight spread over the land in the Capital of Yan Country.
Bai Zhi’er and Feng Fuce stood on the city wall together dressed in white, watching the carriage fade into the distance.
"Brother Fu Ce, your magical creatures are truly amazing, advancing and retreating freely, making all the armies suffer defeat," Bai Zhi’er could not help but praise.
She had seen with her own eyes how Feng Fuce’s commands ensured his magical creatures harmed not a single innocent person.
Thus, Xiliang’s soldiers died, but the Regent King and Xie Yu’s people survived.
Feng Fuce looked at her, with a gentle smile in his eyes.
"I always said, in your difficulties, I can always help you resolve them."
At that moment.
Bai Zhi’er seemed to sense something, looked up at the sky.
Whereupon, a golden feather slowly floated down.
She quickly reached out to catch it, and the feather transformed into nothingness in her palm.
The hundredth act, her merit was complete!
Bai Zhi’er couldn’t believe her eyes as they widened.
"I’ve achieved one hundred merits, Brother Fu Ce, did you see! I can now inherit the Heavenly Dao!"
She happily hugged his neck, jumping and cheering.
Feng Fuce held her shoulders, a gentle smile spreading across his lips.
"Congratulations, little Lady of the Heavenly Dao."
Bai Zhi’er beamed: "Let’s head back first. Once I talk to Dad, I’ll return to the Heavenly Court to inherit the position of the Heavenly Dao."
