Chapter 143: Mu Lianyi, You are Young Lord’s Woman!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Yang Dingtian looked at the golden cavalryman’s face and thought, “Wu Xingwen, you are finally willing to show yourself, uh?”

Everyone from the Raging Flames Castle had this drastic change in their expressions!

They were the three words that frightened them, ‘Heaven Dao Union!’

If they were to offend an influential force of the Heaven Dao Union, their Raging Flames Castle would be demolished, and no one would offer any help.

This fiery red cavalry army was the Heaven Dao Union’s southwest armed forces. To be honest, this Blazing Fire Cavalry was much more elite than the Raging Flames Castle’s cavalry. If Wu Xinglie were to lead this Blazing Fire Cavalry to exterminate the Raging Flames Castle, the Tuoba Clan wouldn’t even dare to put up any resistance; otherwise, the consequences would be even worse.

“All troops halt!” Elder Hui Ying gave the order.

Even if he hadn’t given the orders, none his men would even dare to move.

“Xingwen, is that you?” Looking at the golden cavalryman, Mu Lianyi asked in a timid voice.

The golden cavalryman turned around and lifted his golden mask, revealing a dashing but prideful and unfeeling face.

Mu Lianyi saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face!

That’s right, it was Wu Xingwen, but he was called Wu Xinglie now!

Facing Mu Lianyi, that unfeeling and prideful face instantly dissolved into a tender expression. He replied, “It’s me. I’m back. Your Wu Xingwen is back.”

As it turned out, he was Mu Lianyi’s lover, Wu Xingwen. That son of the fisherman.

Right now, he had risen to the position of the Vice Commander of the Blazing Fire Cavalry that belonged to the southwest section of the Heaven Dao Union. He was going to be one of the upper echelons of the southwest section. He had risen from the son of a fisherman to a prodigy that was high and mighty.

He promised Mu Lianyi that he would achieve enough merits five years later and would return after he was worthy enough to marry Mu Lianyi.

He was finally back and, in a style, that Mu Lianyi couldn’t imagine.

He rode a great horse and wore a golden armor. He wielded a mystic fire sword and led a thousand cavalry back!

This was the result that was ten thousand folds more prestigious and ten thousand folds more wonderful than Mu Lianyi imagined!

Mu Lianyi couldn’t believe what she saw, as she instantly collapsed from happiness.

She covered her petite mouth and let out a painful and miserable cry before sprinting towards Wu Xinglie.

Wu Xinglie carried Mu Lianyi up the horse and spoke in a gentle voice, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I came late. I came late...”

Mu Lianyi cried even louder, as though she wanted to vent out all the suffering and grievances that she experienced during this period.

“Why did you only come back now? You have finally returned. I have been waiting for you every single day!”

Wu Xinglie said, “I’m sorry I am late, and I have let you suffer.”

“No, this is nothing. As long as you are back, I feel better than ever, “Mu Lianyi spoke tenderly.

The two of them went silent for a moment, while everyone else didn’t say anything and were looking at how affectionate Wu Xinglie and Mu Lianyu were.

Suddenly, Mu Lianyi thought of Yang Dingtian and pointed at him, “Xingwen, this is Big Brother Yan Nantian, who desperately tried to rescue my life and my dignity! After Tuoba Ye lost the martial contest, he went back on his words and wanted to kill Big Brother Yan Nantian. You have to save him.”

“Of course!” Wu Xinglie walked in front of Yang Dingtian and said, “Hero Yan, I am unable to express my gratitude. If you are Lianyi’s Big Brother, then you are also Wu Xinglie’s Big Brother!”

Yang Dingtian used all his strength to reveal a smile and replied, “You are welcomed. Then I shall leave the rest to you.”

Finishing his reply, Yang Dingtian closed his eyes and went into a recuperative state.

Wu Xinglie slowly walked in front of Elder Hui Ying and spoke in a cold voice, “Now, what are you going to do?”

Elder Hui Ying quickly changed his expression and said, “We will leave immediately and will never meddle in anything that belongs to the Mu Clan Docks.”

“Just like this?” Wu Xinglie asked coldly, “Are you not going to receive any punishment for your wrongdoings?”

Hui Ying’s face changed drastically and nodded. “Understood!”

Immediately after, he took out three daggers.

“Pfff Pfff Pfff...” He abruptly stabbed them into his chest and abdomen.

Vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood, Hui Ying said, “Commander Wu, can we go now?”

“You may.” Wu Xinglie then said, “But after you return. Bring all the heads of the people who were involved in killing today and deliver them to my Blazing Fire Cavalry.”

This order was extremely arrogant and despotic.

Elder Hui Ying’s face immediately twitched before he gritted his teeth and replied, “Yes. After we return, I will immediately kill them and deliver their heads.”

“That is all, you may leave,” Wu Xinglie dismissed them.

“Many thanks,” Hui Ying responded.

Subsequently, the elders of the Raging Flames Castle carried Tuoba Ye and retreated respectfully. The black cavalry from the Raging Flames Castle similarly withdrew with fear.

In less than ten minutes, all members of the Raging Flames Castle had been cleared out completely.

The entire Mu Clan Docks was only left with blood, the casualties, and the one thousand cavalrymen who looked like a burning fire.

Wu Xinglie walked over to Mu Lianyi and said, “I heard about your incident when I was three thousand miles away. Hence, I led my cavalry and hurried for four days and nights without any rest or food. We finally arrived in time and stopped a terrifying thing from happening. If something were to happen to you, I would never be able to forgive myself.”

Mu Lianyi spoke in a gentle voice, “Don’t think like that. You still managed to save everyone. You have already done your best.”

“If I had arrived earlier, all these innocent people wouldn’t have perished, and I even knew some of them.” Wu Xinglie sighed and said, “And, the reason why I didn’t kill Tuoba Ye was that I couldn’t. The Raging Flames Castle is neither evil nor good, and the upper echelons didn’t give the final orders to eliminate the Raging Flames Castle.”

“I understand.” Mu Lianyi spoke softly, “For everything you have done, I can understand them.”

Wu Xinglie said, “Five years... I have finally returned. I managed to get some accomplishments and return to your side.”

********

Yang Dingtian slept for three days and nights before regaining his consciousness.

Even after consuming the high-grade elixir that was refined by Ximen Ningning, he couldn’t even recover half of the mystic qi in his body.

But this recuperation ability was already incredibly astounding. If it were someone else with such severe injuries, they would need at least three months.

Once he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Mu Lianyi, who was resting her upper body on the side of the bed.

She had changed her clothes, but it was still skin-tight. This time, it was a white sea snakeskin suit, which had golden stripes.

Yang Dingtian sat up by holding on to the bed.

“Big Brother Yan, you’re finally awake.” Mu Lianyi instantly woke up and spoke with a pleasantly surprised expression, “How do you feel?”

“I am fine.” Yang Dingtian said, “Have you been attending to me for a long time? Shouldn’t you be accompanying Wu Xinglie (Wu Xingwen), right? You haven’t seen each other in five years.”

It seemed like Mu Lianyi didn’t get any sleep for an extended period, hence her charming face was filled with fatigue. But she didn’t look wallow and looked even more alluring, which was obviously because of the nourishment of love.

Hearing Yang Dingtian’s statement, Mu Lianyi revealed a trace of embarrassment and replied, “Big Brother Yan is injured because of me, I naturally had to attend to you. As for accompanying him, I have already waited for five years; there is no difference in waiting another moment more. There will be lots of opportunities in the future.”

Despite being shy, when talking about the matters of being together with Wu Xinglie, she still spoke in a natural and unrestrained manner.

“How are your father’s injuries?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Mu Lianyi replied, “He just suffered some superficial wounds. He was fine after getting some medicine.”

Subsequently, Mu Lianyi looked at Yang Dingtian with big eyes and seemed to hesitate after trying to say something.

“What’s the matter? Tell me.” Yang Dingtian smiled and said, “If you need my help, you can just say it.”

Mu Lianyi was instantly delighted as she spoke, “There is something that I really need Big Brother Yan’s help with. My father doesn’t allow me to be together with Xingwen.”

Yang Dingtian asked, “Why is that? Wu Xinglie is now an illustrious figure and is the Heaven Dao Union’s Southwest Section’s Blazing Fire Cavalry Vice-Commander. No one in the entire southwest continent would dare to provoke him. Even if he were to travel the world, everyone would treat him as an esteemed guest.”

Mu Lianyi explained, “Father said that the final victor for my martial contest for marriage is you. Furthermore, Big Brother Yan had nearly paid your life for me. Hence, I should follow you, and there was no other reason for me to be with another man.”

Ending her explanation, Mu Lianyi had watery eyes as she held onto Yang Dingtian’s arm and pleaded, “Big Brother Yan, we have already sworn to be siblings. You cannot ignore your little sister’s lifelong happiness. Can you speak to my father? He will certainly be willing to listen to you.”

Mu Lianyi pleaded while shaking Yang Dingtian’s arm, causing his arm to make contact with her body occasionally. Of course, she wasn’t aware of her actions, and this girl was truly unruly and offhand.

But Yang Dingtian felt that things shouldn’t be like this either. He quickly drew his arms away and said, “Alright, I will go look for Uncle Mu now. I will speak when I need to.”

Yang Dingtian didn’t commit wholeheartedly because he had some hesitation in his heart.

“That is great! Thank you, thank you,” Mu Lianyi grabbed Yang Dingtian’s arm and shook it forcefully.

She then wanted to drag Yang Dingtian out immediately after.

**********

“Young... Nephew Yan, how do you feel?” Just as Mu Liancheng saw Yang Dingtian, he immediately went forward to give his greetings. “I’m fine.” Yang Dingtian asked, “How about Uncle Mu? Are you affected after getting stabbed by the sword?”

Mu Liancheng shook his head and said, “It is just some superficial wounds; it is of no importance. Faction Head Li, on the other hand, would require at least half a year to recover. The one with the worst injuries is Nephew Ximen Bao, who will need at least one or two years, and it is unknown if he will be able to make a full recovery. Sigh... just because of a personal matter of my clan, we implicated so many people. I, Mu Liancheng, truly deserve death!”

“Don’t talk like this. I can’t just see around and resign to fate, right?” Yang Dingtian said, “The incident is already over, so don’t go think about it. Did the Raging Flames Castle come to harass you during these two days?”

“How would they dare to?” Mu Liancheng said, “The entire Raging Flames Castle had been terror-stricken by Wu Xinglie. They even delivered a few hundred thousand gold coins as compensation, along with an over a hundred heads to apologize.”

Yang Dingtian said, “Since Wu Xinglie is so outstanding, why are you stopping him from being together with Lianyi?”

After hearing that Yang Dingtian actually spoke about this, Mu Liancheng’s expression altered slightly. “Do, do you not favor my daughter? She should originally be following you.”

Yang Dingtian smiled and said, “Lianyi is beautiful and generous. Everyone will like her. But Uncle Mu should know that I already have a wife, and I cannot let her down.”

Mu Liancheng replied, “Then let my daughter be your servant. Even then, it would be a blessing for our Mu Clan.”

Once he said this, Mu Lianyi’s delicate body shuddered, while she had this expression of disbelief. Yan Nantian did nearly lose his life because of her and did rescue her, but it wasn’t enough to make her become a servant. Did she have such a lowly status as the young lady of the Mu Clan?

“Father, I am grateful to Big Brother Yan for rescuing me. I am even willing to use my life to repay him. But gratitude is different from affection. If you want me to submit myself because of gratitude... I can’t do it.” Mu Lianyi spoke in a loud voice, “Moreover, am I such a lowly person in your eyes? To be a servant for others?”

Mu Liancheng shouted, “You might not even be qualified to be a servant!”

After shouting, Mu Liancheng closed all the doors and windows. He made sure there wasn’t anyone around before he spoke coldly to Mu Lianyi, “Kneel, Mu Lianyi.”

Mu Lianyi couldn’t understand, but still clenched onto her tooth and knelt with reluctance and grievance.

“This person in front of you is not Yan Nantian. He is Yang Dingtian, our Young Lord. The future City Lord of Cloud Heaven City.”
