Cultivation Goddess
Chapters 328. Make Peace with the Past

Concubine Ning was so focused on practicing that she was unaware of Fang Yin's arrival appearing from behind. Not long after, the Fang Yin family followed behind him. All those people were stunned to see Concubine Ning's suddenly increasing ability.

Fang Yin and Consort Shi knew full well that the moves Consort Ning was currently playing were those of Emperor Gu. As the legacy of the Gu Clan, only a few people had mastered it. A high level of difficulty also did not allow just anyone to learn it.

The mother and son looked at each other. They thought that it was Emperor Gu's soul force that made Consort Ning have the same ability as her.

Seeing Consort Ning's great ability made Shi Jun Hui and Yu Ruo think differently. They see this as something dangerous. According to them this would be a threat if Consort Ning changed her mind and attacked Fang Yin's army from within.

"Yin'er, Consort Ning looks so great. Shouldn't we just get rid of it before it becomes a thorn in the flesh in front of it?" Shi Jun Hui finally spoke up.

"No!" Fang Yin and Concubine Shi replied simultaneously.

Yu Ruo and Shi Jun Hui looked at each other. While Shi Han Wu looked silently in thought. Although his eyes were blind, but he could clearly see the other soul force in Consort Ning's body.

"There is another soul force in Consort Ning's body. Maybe that's what makes it so great. I didn't feel any demonic air or negative aura from him. There was very little chance that he would betray," Shi Han Wu explained.

Fang Yin confirmed with a nod as well. His face looked so sad reminiscing about that style. In the past, Emperor Gu taught the skill directly to him.

Sweet memories for a Fang Yin where di and his father did not have much time to be together. As a princess, she had less time to train with her father than her older siblings. She was trained more to learn ethics and other feminine activities.

The strong desire to practice made little Fang Yin steal the time to practice on her own. When the other children learned to embroider, he took a sword and stole his father's martial arts loan. In the end he studied the contents of the one-star Book of Nine Dragons which made his soul bound to Agata's soul.

"What's your plan, Yin'er?" jian Heng asked unable to stare at Fang Yin's sad face for too long.

Hearing Jian Heng's question, Fang Yin raised his bowed face. The woman who usually looks strong and never gives up shows her weak side in front of her loved ones.

"I saw father's soul live inside Consort Ning's body," he muttered in a soft voice. But everyone can hear it clearly.

His family let Fang Yin walk slowly leaving them. These few days only he was still ignoring Consort Ning. Maybe after this event the relationship will both improve.

Concubine Ning stopped her training when she saw Fang Yin walking over to her. The flames on his body slowly disappeared along with his body moving down to the earth. Her soft eyes looked at Fang Yin affectionately.

'Concubine Ning's eyes were not the same as her eyes in the past. Anger and vengeance blinded me and could not see the truth. Forgive me father, whispered Fang Yin inwardly.

"Yin 'er. I'm already fine. It's been a long time since I've been practicing," explained Consort Ning who interpreted Fang Yin's gaze as prohibitive.

Fang Yin did not reply and continued walking closer to Concubine Ning.

Concubine Ning looked confused. He did not know what Fang Yin was going to do. His mysterious attitude made him difficult to guess.

The two of them were now standing very close. Concubine Ning slightly raised her face because Fang Yin was taller than her. They remained silent for quite a while.

His family gave Fang Yin time to come to terms with his past. They know the winding road and the suffering it brings. Anyone would not blame her if she hated Consort Ning so much.

"When have you mastered the style you just played?" fang Yin asked with her flat face.

Concubine Ning stopped looking at her and looked the other way. Everything happened so quickly and did not know where he should start. His heart was weighing and felt it was no longer possible for him to lie.

"I beg you not to blame me for this, Princess Gu. What I experienced was very difficult for me to accept with my common sense. I hope with this ability I can help you a little in the assault agenda. At least I don't become a burden to others and can protect myself." Concubine Ning sighed as she glared away looking into the distance.

"I just want to know since when do you have this ability?" Fang Yin repeated his question and disliked something convoluted.

"Just now," honestly Concubine Ning.

That short answer became the key to Fang Yin's confidence where her father's soul power had indeed fused in Consort Ning's body. There is no doubt for him and fully he will trust his mother.

An unexpected incident made Consort Ning flinch where Fang Yin suddenly hugged her and sobbed. That haru moment made Consort Ning also get carried away. They both cried without a sound and shed all the feelings that had been held back for so long.

The Fang Yin Family left the place and let Consort Ning and Fang Yin speak from heart to heart.

It takes courage to admit a mistake and it takes sincerity to forgive a mistake. Many lessons can be learned from their life story where revenge and envy can destroy everything.

Despite many trials and pains, but Fang Yin still put the family above his selfishness. Before Emperor Gu's soul force fused in Consort Ning's body, he had already seen his sincerity to apologize. However, the resentment from his foreclosure just disappeared today.

"Thank you for forgiving me, Princess Gu." Concubine Ning broke the silence after a long moment of silence.

The two let go of his embrace then wiped away the remains of tears on their cheeks.

"Not to be discussed anymore. Between a child and a parent it's not good to hold a grudge." Fang Yin told the old man to address the two souls in Consort Ning's body.

"You deserve to be loved by everyone. Since childhood you have been a light to the Empire of the Eastern Continent. Don't ever dim my little star." Concubine Ning rubbed Fang Yin's shoulders slowly.

Concubine Ning's words were the same as the words Emperor Gu had always spoken when they were together. He seemed to have crossed time and returned to life in the past with his family intact.

They walked down the hill to return to the Fang Yin family's residence. Despite their peace, they did not talk much. Both of them chose silence and dissolve in their minds.

Jian Heng was seen sitting on the terrace and chatting with a woman. She is neither her mother nor grandmother. His back position made him unable to see who it was.

Concubine Ning only realized that Fang Yin was left behind because of their different speed of steps. Feeling something strange about the princess' attitude, she followed her gaze and found Jian Heng sitting with a woman.

"What we see sometimes is not what it is." Concubine Ning equated her steps with Fang Yin.

Fang Yin looked at Consort Ning's face for a moment and felt her gentle gaze. Everything he said was indeed true, he shouldn't have thought a no-no about Jian Heng. What she had sacrificed for him was enough to make her believe that she was the only woman she had in her heart.

Concubine Ning's words drained the positive energy in Fang Yin's heart and made her smile meaningfully. His mood changed so quickly and made him get excited again. Her footsteps were light with her radiant face.

"Yin'er!" call Jian Heng with his pajama face. He was afraid that Fang Yin misunderstood and beat up An Hui.

"An Hui saluted Miss Yin and Madam Ning." An Hui stood up and saluted Fang Yin and Consort Ning.

Fang Yin simply smiled and glanced at a food box carried by An Hui. The box is arranged which indicates if the food in it is not just one type.

"You mustn't misunderstand, Yin'er. We only chatted for a moment before you came home," Jian Heng explained.

"Hm." Fang Yin did not say any other words and immediately picked up the food box and entered the house.

Jian Heng followed him but not with An Hui and Consort Ning. They chose to stay outside. It looked like the house was very quiet and there was no one else there besides them.

Concubine Ning invited An Hui to sit down together and chat with her. Although they had not known each other before, Consort Ning's friendly attitude made her feel at ease.

Recalling Fang Yin's jealousy, Consort Ning also alluded to An Hui. Jian Heng was indeed a perfect figure that deserved to be admired, he did not blame An Hui admiring him. However, Consort Ning warned An Hui not to impose a will if Jian Heng did not want to have a concubine.

An Hui nodded. She told Consort Ning that she owed Fang Yin her life. He briefly reviewed back about the tension that occurred before Fang Yin's arrival.

Without the intervention of Fang Yin, perhaps until now the ice tribe and the glacier tribe are still in dispute until now. It was encouraging news for Consort Ning who was increasingly convinced that her daughter would bring about a great change for the Empire of the Eastern Continent.

***

The day of Fang Yin and Jian Heng's departure had arrived. No one has been told of his disappearance other than his family. They intend to leave for a while because the responsibility they carry is still a lot.

Preparations for the attack at the agreed time have not been fully completed. Everything must be carefully planned for the attack to run smoothly.

Shi Jun Hui and Shi Han Wu escorted Fang Yin and Jian Heng to the border until they left with cross-dimensional techniques.

Fang Yin divided his energy into Jian Heng. The two stood facing towards Shi Han Wu and Shi Jun Hui then waved their hands. Not long after, they disappeared from view.

After mastering the entire Nine Dragons Book, Fang Yin's abilities increased drastically. This technique had been refined and made the two of them arrive quickly at the Imperial palace of the Middle Continent.

Their appearance shocked the soldiers guarding the gates and courtyards of the palace. They think that the two are intruders who want to mess up there. The bodyguards pointed spears and swords towards Fang Yin and Jian Heng.

"Are your eyes blind?" jian Heng.

One of the senior bodyguards recognized Jian Heng's face and immediately knelt down to pay their respects. The entire bodyguard that surrounded them dropped himself following what their seniors were doing.

Jian Heng replied to their respect by raising his hand.

"Are you ready to go see dad, Yin'er?" jian Heng asked.

"Hm." Fang Yin nodded.

Jian Heng carried Fang Yin away towards the imperial palace. He did not bring it to his palace first because their goal was to meet his father and return quickly to the Silver Mountain before everyone realized their departure.

The maids and maids that passed by them barely recognized Third Prince Jian Heng due to his simple attire. Moreover, Jian Heng's face also looked increasingly handsome with his blue eyes. If not for Fang Yin who was still strange-looking with his veil, perhaps they would still think it was someone else.

The guards standing guard in front of Emperor Xi's palace gate blocked the two from entering. Jian Heng glanced at him and intended to beat him up. However, he stopped because Fang Yin pulled the edge of his shirt.

Although he was a member of the palace family, but currently they had come as guests. Jian Heng could not come and go as he pleased even though there was no written prohibition for it.

Jian Heng sighed and tried to be patient. After being really good he just started talking.

"Third Prince Xi Jian Heng and Miss Xiao Yin came to see His Imperial Majesty. May you gentlemen give us a way to pass by," Jian Heng said in a well-made manner.

The bodyguard gasped and immediately saluted the two with an awkward feeling.

Jian Heng sauntered into the courtyard of his father's residence palace with Fang Yin. They both returned to the limelight.

Jian Heng's face was not the same as his as leaving the palace. No wonder his own mother did not recognize him when he had entered the palace and stood before his family. He took Fang Yin forward then jointly saluted to father and Empress Xi.

Concubine Tang stood up in shock. He had not expected that such a dashing and handsome young man was his son. Until Jian Heng and Fang Yin stood before him, he was still stunned.
