Destroying the Will of Heaven
Episode 202 Past Xing Ke(II)
When the fat man saw the middle-aged man who had come here, his facial expression instantly changed drastically and looked at him full of honor.
“Welcome back my lord!” Everyone in this place, including the fat man in the spacious courtyard immediately prostrated to the ground after seeing the arrival of the middle-aged man.
“I thank you guys for your respect!” The middle-aged man with his sharp brows like a sword started to nod his head after seeing the respect of the people around him.
When the cultivators who were here heard that sentence, they immediately stood back up as they were and looked at the dashing middle-aged man with great reverence.
They saw that the middle-aged man was slowly walking closer to the teenage boy who was tied up on a metal pole. The middle-aged man glanced towards the fat man who had blood on his fist before gazing towards the bound teenage boy.
“What's your name?” The middle-aged man stared straight into the eyes of the young man who was being bound.
Hearing the question from the middle-aged man in front of him, the young man was completely unafraid and stared back at the two middle-aged man's eyes, “What should I tell my name to someone I don't know? Besides it means nothing to you if someone like me dies!”
“Oh? Hahaha, you're really interesting! I really like that look of yours, how about you become my daughter's personal guard? With someone like you by her side, then I will become calmer for my daughter's safety!” The middle-aged man suddenly laughed out loud until it sounded throughout the outer courtyard of the palace, he looked at the young man in front of him with an interested look.
By the time everyone heard the decision, some of them were a little hesitant to say it. Even so, there was a man who was slightly older than the teenage boy directly walked forward and opened his mouth, “But sir ... Wasn't the decision too rash? We still don't know what the person's true nature is like, what if he suddenly rebelled?”
When the middle-aged man heard that someone had given him an insert, he slightly nodded his head and turned towards the teenage boy tied to the metal pole.
“So what about your decision? Do you want to be free from this place and not change anything in your life? Or do you want to prove to all of us that the man's words were nothing but nonsense?” The middle-aged man made an attractive offer to the young man with a wide grin plastered on his face.
When the bound teenage boy heard the remark of the middle-aged man in front of him, he without any hesitation immediately responded, “As a man, it is already an obligation to change my own life's fate! I am Xing Ke, currently promising to protect the life and happiness of that young lady over there for as long as I am alive!”
“Very good!” When the middle-aged man listened to the promise made wholeheartedly, he nodded in satisfaction with his extremely satisfied facial expression.
“Let's celebrate all the happiness that happened today in the palace!” The middle-aged man laughed out loud as he hugged the white-haired little lady in his left hand and a woman who looked like a empress in her right hand.

On the same night that Xing Ke had first become a personal guard, Xing Ke and young miss Tian Shi were standing in the palace courtyard with stars in the sky.
The teenage man did not answer her for a while while looking at the beautiful star that was above the night sky, “This is the life that you have given me, young lady. If I can do a little useful thing like protecting you, then I will do it with all my might. In the outside world, people like us who live aimlessly can only think about surviving for the rest of his life.”
“I also want to see it, what is life like in the world out there!” The white-haired little lady looked at the distant sky, as if longing for life out there.
“Life in the outside world?” The young man was a little confused by what the young miss in front of him said.
“I heard from my father and mother that there was an ocean out there, a different school from where I studied, good food, and friends from different regions unlike inside the palace.” Young Miss Tian Shi said so with a hopeful look in her eyes, it looked like she wanted to see all of that with her own two eyes rather than listening to stories from others.
When the teenage boy heard it, he instantly fell silent for a moment before nodding his head, “I understand, young lady.”
“Hm?” Young Miss Tian Shi immediately turned his head back after hearing an answer he had never expected. He saw that the teenage boy in front of him had an expression of sincerity plastered on his face.
“One day, I will bring young lady out to see life in the outside world.” The young man smiled sincerely as he crouched down in order to be as beautiful as the small body of young miss Tian Shi.
When young miss Tian Shi heard that answer, her two eyes slightly shone, “True?”
“Yes, it was all as redemption because the young lady had saved my life that had no meaning whatsoever!” The young man smiled very sincerely towards the young miss who was filled with confusion.

“Hey Xing To!” As Xing Ke was recalling his past promise with young miss Tian Shi, he was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise coming from beside him. It was the voice of Xiao Yan, the servant who was currently hugging Tian Shi's small body in order not to see the violent scene.
“Iya? What's up?” Xing Ke subconsciously turned his head to look at the four people who seemed to be waiting for something against him.
“It looks like you didn't hear what I just said!” Xiao Yan let out a small sigh before continuing his sentence, “So, what kind of decision are we going to take? Do we continue with the coup plan? Or do you just leave it for the welfare of everyone?”
The four of them looked at Xing Ke to wait for what kind of decision he would make. Then the four of them saw that Xing Ke made a confident smile, “Of course we will continue. As I had planned, we all relied on the status of the three of you as head of security to enter the wedding unnoticed. Then some of your subordinates who participated in this coup will surround that place for the escape route of all of us!”
