IW 24: Truth and Promise
Seeing what was happening in the Jiayang Capital made a middle-aged man and young girl gasp in shock. But the sight of the two who were originally surprised to see the fight, now turned to the figure of two people leaving Jiayang Capital at high speed.
“It's not Hei Yuan and Jian Gu, we have to finish off this group before causing this kind of chaos in the future.” The middle-aged man stroked his beard, and moved following Hei Yuan as well as Jian Gu.
“Grandfather, that man..” The girl was precisely curious about Ling Zhen's condition, but currently their top priority was Hei Yuan and Lin Zi.
While a middle-aged man and girl went to follow the two remaining members of the Moon Style House, Ling Zhen was in critical condition saved the mysterious woman who had managed to withstand Lin Zi's attack.
”Young man, what's your name?” The mysterious woman asked.
Ling Zhen could not believe what he had just seen, but at this moment he saw clearly how flawed it was.
“Do I need to tell my name to people I don't know? My name is none of your business!” Ling Zhen held his head and grimaced slightly as he felt pain all over his body.
Ling Zhen's words were enough to make the mysterious woman's patience run out, “Test your courage, your name is not important. But your ability is important to kill one of them.”
Ling Zhen raised his eyebrows, “What do you mean?”
The mysterious woman grinned from behind the cover of her face, “Do I have to explain it to you? Too bad, I don't have the rights to it!”
Hearing the mysterious woman's remark, Ling Zhen scratched his non-itchy head and introduced himself.
“As you know, I just want to avenge my family's death Ling Zhen looked at the two glowing red eyes, “Thanks for saving me..”.
“That reason is enough. The actions of the Demon Worshiping Sect were extremely dangerous, besides they caused chaos throughout the Five Colors Continent.” The mysterious woman scanned Ling Zhen's face before looking up at the night sky.
“If you want to know about the Demon Worship Sect further, go to the Chu Empire. Who knows there you found a clue about this group.” The mysterious woman disappeared from Ling Zhen's sight after saying so.
“Academy Chu?” Ling Zhen shook his head slowly before laying down his body.
“Truly tiring. At least now I'm alive.” Ling Zhen smiled as he closed his eyes.

Most undercover palace soldiers have been sentenced to death. Even Zhong Feng would also be fared the same.
After dropping the figure of Zhong Feng who was full of guile, Ling Zhen received praise and appreciation from the Jia Emperor. But Ling Zhen had never shown his whereabouts since the battle in the Jiayang Capital.
Not one week has passed since that event. The punishment for Zhong Feng was about to be executed and it left the members of the Jia and Li noble families shocked upon learning the story of Zhong Fengs past.
Zhong Feng was the son of a concubine of the head of the Zhong family. Her mother died from being killed by her own father after being caught cheating on her with one of the members of the Zhong Family.
Although the true incident was not so, but Mother Zhong Feng was the victim of sexual harassment from the members of the Zhong Family.
After learning the truth, Zhong Feng had the ambition to kill the entire Zhong Family until he left himself. Even his hatred towards the noble family led him to help with the assassination plan of Jia Ruan's grandfather and grandmother.
Zhong Feng's motive was merely vengeance, but that feeling was utilized by Lin Zi and the other representatives of the Demon Worshiping Sect to take away the God Heirloom that the Jia Family had stored.
The moment Zhong Feng died, the situation in Jiayang Capital calmed down again. Even this incident made the Jia Empire even more disadvantaged. Moreover, the cold war between the Jia Empire and the Qing Empire and the Zhou Empire was getting closer.

“Mr Ling, don't you intend to say goodbye to my father?” Li Hua asked Ling Zhen who was wearing his new robe in black.
“No, just say hello to your father, Miss Li.” Ling Zhen smilingly looked at Li Hua who had been with him for a week at the inn.
“I'll go. I promise I'll see you back. When it arrives, I will..” Ling Zhen did not continue his words out of embarrassment, nor did Li Hua's red expression flutter.
“Apply...” Li Hua extended her little finger at Ling Zhen.
Seeing that, Ling Zhen smiled faintly and hooked his little finger on Li Hua's pinky. Then he gently kissed Li Hua's forehead.
“I go..” Li Hua's face was red.
“Peach yourself well..” Li Hua felt the pounding of his heart beat violently as he watched Ling Zhen's back move away from him.
