Chang Geng: "But he dared to say such things to you..."

Gu Yun did not feel even the slightest bit offended, he burst out laughing, his entire being giving off the arrogant and wild aura of 'raging wind and stormy rain could not affect me'.

Chang Geng's scowl did not ease out yet. He was somewhat irritated at first, but gradually, as the chilling air surrounding him seemed to melt away and vanish in Gu Yun's carefree laughter - those words suddenly became quite laughable.

A small idea suddenly raised up inside Chang Geng for the first time. He seriously thought to himself:

"Why should I be afraid? Am I just going to turn insane simply because Bone of Impurity forces me to?"

On this long march, the fear and sorrow in Chang Geng's heart gradually calmed down in the midst of surrounding Iron Armors. He was like a small seedling, just a little bit more sunlight, and he could arise once again.

In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived at the imperial capital.

When the gate of the palace opened on both sides, even the Black Eagles flying high above must kneel down on the ground to show respect.

Gu Yun grasped Chang Geng's back: "Don't think too much, let's go meet your Royal Father."

Chang Geng was pushed by him, and when he really caught sight of an old man lying in bed, he could hardly make the connection between this withered and ill figure with the term 'Emperor'.

He was so old, his greyed hairs resembled a batch of dried up silver threads, his skin was shriveled, and he appeared extremely frail and pallid. His thin lips quivered slightly, and he looked at Gu Yun with difficulty.

Gu Yun's footsteps momentarily paused - although it was undetectable. Chang Geng was sharp and could sense him take in a deep breath, but when he looked back, Gu Yun's face was once again void of emotions.

"Your Majesty, your subject did not disgrace your mission," Gu Yun said, "I have brought His Highness the Fourth Prince back for you."

Emperor Yuan He's eyes slowly turned towards Chang Geng. Chang Geng's whole body froze and for a moment, he wanted to back away. He could feel that the gaze of the old man on the bed contained a long hook that pierced through the flow of time - as if he was not looking at him at all, but was looking at someone else through him.

However, as Gu Yun pushed from behind, Chang Geng could not help but move forward two steps.

Gu Yun whispered in his ear: "Kneel down."
