After the banquet ended, it was already very late when Consort Shu asked Chu Yue to convey to Qiao Rong to meet him personally in her room.
Qiao Rong had already guessed that Consort Shu would tell him the true story.
As a result, Qiao Rong was not at all surprised when he saw Lu Guang in the same room as his mother.
"Mother.." Qiao Rong was able to clearly see Lu Guang's discomfort when he called Consort Shu 'Mother'.
"Rong'er, as I promised. Your father will tell you everything." Consort Shu looks desperate.
Qiao Rong simply nodded calmly, while firmly sticking the nails of his left hand on his right arm.
Qiao Rong could only sympathize with the two parents before him. The body before them was indeed Qiao Rong's body. But how disappointed are they to know that his soul is the soul of a stranger?
Qiao Rong took a deep breath and calmed himself.
At a time like this, Qiao Rong could only recall the soothing words from Shen Haofeng just before he visited Consort Shu.
"Don't worry, not even a strand of your hair will let me fall."
*****
"Fang'er ..." A girl who was the same age as the girl he had summoned appeared from behind the window curtain of the horse carriage.
"Son Shu is awake? I just picked some flowers from this meadow." The girl called earlier, Song Fang thrust out a few flower stalks he picked towards Shu Li Wei whose face was leaning towards the window.
"Harumnya .. not your name is Song Fang, Fang from Fangxiang, aromatic." Shu Li Wei and Song Fang chuckled together for the next few seconds.
"Let's go up, don't slow down the journey anymore, the Crescent Academy is already waiting for us. You know for yourself the people in the Moon Sect hate delay the most" Shu Li Wei continued.
Song Fang nodded and directly boarded the carriage after asking the coachman to continue on.
Moments later, the horse carriage entered a rocky mountain area, surrounded by cliffs all around, the cobblestone path that the carriage passed through made Song Fang and Shu Li Wei complain nonstop.
It only takes a few seconds. It took only a few seconds for the chariot until the driver's blood splashed and their horses ran away, causing the chariot to fall violently on the ground and come to a complete stop.
Song Fang and Shu Li Wei immediately got out of the horse carriage and pulled out their respective swords.
"Who are you?!" Song Fang shouted towards the group of shabbily dressed people in front of their carriage. But there is no answer. There was just a creepy laugh.
There are seven people in total. Compared to their numbers, Song Fang and Shu Li Wei were decisively defeated. Moreover, they had just wanted to start their cultivation journey to the Full Moon Academy.
Seeing the enemies advancing and attacking them, Song Fang and Shu Li Wei did not stay silent.
Clangs! Clangs!
The sound of the sword tips meeting echoed on that cliff, on the side of the new enemy fell down a while Song Fang and Shu Li Wei had already gotten some minor injuries. They're both getting cornered.
From behind them, a man riding across the cliff suddenly appeared and lunged.
In an instant, four heads were already cut off by the man's sword. Meanwhile, Song Fang and Shu Li Wei could only be stunned at such a beautiful sword technique.
The two remaining people were frightened upon seeing that bloody scene. They finally decided to run away. The man did not pursue them, and rather prioritized the safety of the two girls behind him that he had just saved.
"Are you guys okay?" The man put his sword back into the sword sheath.
"Thank you for your help." Song Fang hurriedly bowed in gratitude.
That guy is handsome. It also looks young.
"Sister Shu!" Song Fang whispered to Shu Li Wei to resuscitate her. It was fortunate that Shu Li Wei immediately regained her senses from her daydream and bowed.
"No need to be confused. I also just happened to pass by. Where are you guys headed?" The man smiled in a friendly manner.
"The Crescent Academy," Song Fang replied.
"Oh! How coincidental! I'm on my way there too." The man smiled broadly once more.
The man then looked towards their horse carriage, no coachman, and no horse.
"My name is Lu Guang, how about I drop you off?"
Song Fang and Shu Li Wei finally nodded in agreement.
Only they themselves knew how the man's first impression was in their hearts.
*****
"Your biological mother is the Princess of the Han Kingdom. While Shu Li Wei, the woman you now call Mother is the daughter of the prime minister of the Han Kingdom."
"We then got to know Tang Qiao, the fourth Prince of Wen Kingdom who was at the Crescent Academy. The four of us became good friends and co-workers. Emperor Qiao and I both liked the jolly Song Fang. The four of us decided to take a trip together to travel the world."
"After that journey, Father met the previous Sun King and eventually became the successor of the Sun Sect. While Tang Qiao returned because the previous Tang Emperor had fallen ill, he had to fight for the throne."
"Tang Qiao was always jealous because Dad got your mother's love. But since we were good friends, no one would have thought that he would turn into a cruel and bad person after becoming an Emperor."
"Your grandfather, the previous Emperor Song planned to have a political marriage with the Wen Kingdom. So he wanted to marry your mother to Emperor Qiao. But after he heard that your mother was married, he was angry."
"We got married in a small village on the border of Moon City with the Han Kingdom. When the matchup happened, your mother was pregnant."
"Forced, finally Shu Li Wei as the daughter of the prime minister who was first sent to the Kingdom of Wen as a concubine. While Dad tried to enlist the Sun King's help to protect your mother."
"When I came back from the war with the Han Empire, your mother was gone. Only then did Father know that he had gone to see Shu Li Wei and asked for protection." Lu Guang sighed.
"But this cunning woman ... !" Lu Guang looked at Consort Shu with hatred.
"After your mother gave birth and died, this cunning woman insisted on raising you as her child and forbade Dad to see you." Lu Guang lowered his head.
Consort Shu could only fall silent. He never regretted his actions at that time.
"Rong 'er ... Mother ... " Consort Shu looks like she wants to explain something. But he finally chose silence.
For a moment, the atmosphere became silent. Qiao Rong felt awkward, also surprised by Lu Guang's story.
"So, kid. Can you hug your father who you finally met after 16 years?" Lu Guang said softly.
Li Wenhua, he personally felt doubtful. But that body that Qiao Rong had was walking towards Lu Guang just like that.
Like missing a hug Daddy looked at him lovingly. Not like Emperor Qiao, but like the arms of Li Wenhua's long-dead biological father.
Tears began to flow from the faces of the two children's fathers.
