Chapter 543: Miss, If You Want Revenge, Then Come.

However, Brave quickly stabilized his emotions, cupped his hands in greeting toward Yu Xian in mid-air, and said, “It turns out Young Master Yu has graced us with his presence. I apologize for not welcoming you sooner. Did this brat Xu Fengnian offend you, Young Master? I will discipline him right away!”

As Brave finished speaking, he immediately kicked Xu Fengnian.

Xu Fengnian was completely unprepared and was sent stumbling by the sudden kick from his father, nearly falling to the ground, his face full of shock and grievance.

He never imagined that to appease the other party’s anger, his father would so decisively’sell him out’.

He clutched his kicked rear, his gaze toward Brave filled with incomprehension, yet he dared not retort in public, having to swallow the insult.

Brave, however, acted as if he hadn’t seen his son’s expression, maintaining his respectful posture toward Yu Xian, as if that kick was merely a reprimand for an ignorant Junior.

Yu Xian’s lips curved slightly, revealing a hint of a playful smile.

This Brave was indeed decisive, attempting to gauge his true intentions with a single kick, while also using it to signal the attitude of the Beiliang Royal Mansion: regardless of whether Xu Fengnian had truly offended him, Beiliang was willing to pay a price to settle the matter.

Yu Xian held Yu Youwei, his gaze sweeping over the father and son before him, his voice calm yet carrying undeniable authority: “King of Beiliang, there is no need for such measures. I came today not for Xu Fengnian, but for her.”

Saying this, he turned his head to look at Yu Youwei in his arms.

Yu Youwei took a deep breath, broke free from Yu Xian’s embrace, stood beside him, and stared directly at Brave, her eyes surging with hatred and complex emotions suppressed for many years.

Her voice trembled slightly but was exceptionally clear: “Brave, the debt for you trampling Xichu must be settled now!”

“Xichu? You are remnants of Xichu?” A trace of gravity flashed in Brave’s eyes. Having campaigned for many years, the blood on his hands was countless. It was not strange for Xichu remnants to seek revenge against him, but the fact that this woman was valued so highly by Yu Xian clearly meant she was extraordinary.

He sized up Yu Youwei from head to toe, trying to find a familiar trace on her face, but found nothing. He could only ask in a deep voice, “Miss, have you come to seek revenge against this King?”

“That’s right!” A cold glint flashed in Yu Youwei’s eyes. “Back then, you led the Beiliang cavalry to crush the Xichu capital. My Xichu royal family was slaughtered, and countless commoners were left homeless and destitute. I fortunately escaped, living in obscurity until today, solely to demand this blood debt from you!”

Her voice was not loud, but every word was steeped in grief, as if pouring out the pain and hatred accumulated over many years.

Even Xu Fengnian was moved, looking at Yu Youwei with a more complex expression.

Brave nodded upon hearing this. “Correct, I led the troops to destroy your Xichu back then. Since Miss wishes for revenge, then come forth.”

“Wait!” Xu Fengnian quickly stepped forward, attempting to stop the confrontation between the two parties!

As Xu Fengnian spoke, everyone’s gaze immediately fixed on him.

Xu Fengnian paid no mind to anything else. He knew Yu Xian’s style too well; since Yu Youwei was brought by Yu Xian, Yu Xian would certainly ensure her safety. Yu Youwei was currently blinded by hatred and seemed ready to fight the Beiliang Royal Mansion to the death. No one in the Beiliang Royal Mansion was a match for Yu Xian, so the final outcome… Therefore, he had to make Yu Youwei abandon her hatred so that Yu Xian might not have to intervene.

Yu Xian still wore that playful look. He seemed to have already seen through Xu Fengnian’s intentions.

As expected, after looking around, Xu Fengnian found Jiang Ni and immediately stepped forward to pull her out. “Who said your Xichu royal family was completely wiped out? Look who she is!”

Yu Youwei looked at Jiang Ni but did not recognize her!

“Who she is cannot change the fact that Brave destroyed my Xichu!” Yu Youwei stopped looking at Jiang Ni and instead fixed her cold gaze on Brave!

Seeing that Yu Youwei didn’t believe him, Xu Fengnian immediately had Jiang Ni reveal the Xichu royal family’s token—the ‘Divine Talisman’ dagger.

“You claim to be Xichu remnants. Do you recognize this object?” Xu Fengnian held up the Divine Talisman and said to Yu Youwei.

Yu Youwei couldn’t help but be stunned as she looked at the Divine Talisman in Xu Fengnian’s hand. As the descendant of a Xichu official, she naturally recognized the item.

After carefully examining Jiang Ni’s appearance, which bore a striking resemblance to the Empress of Xichu, Yu Youwei finally confirmed that this was the legendary deceased Princess Taiping of Xichu.

Seeing that Yu Youwei was clearly beginning to believe him, Xu Fengnian continued, “Miss, the news of the Princess’s beheading back then was released by my father. The purpose was to prevent your Princess from being harmed by other forces in Liyang!

The Warring States Period conflicts were driven by the Liyang Imperial Family’s need for unification. My father was a general ordered to fight, not the mastermind behind Xichu’s destruction. Personal revenge cannot change the great trend of a nation’s demise, and killing my father cannot restore Xichu or bring your parents back to life.”

Yu Youwei froze, clearly thrown into confusion by Jiang Ni’s appearance and Xu Fengnian’s words.

The sole motivation that had sustained her life all this time was her hatred for Brave and her unwillingness to accept Xichu’s downfall.

But now, the Princess Taiping of Xichu was still alive, and she even seemed to have some subtle connection with the Beiliang Royal Mansion.

Xu Fengnian’s words struck her heart like a heavy hammer.

If even the target of her revenge might be in the wrong direction, then what was the meaning of all her years of forbearance and perseverance? She subconsciously looked toward Yu Xian, her eyes filled with bewilderment and confusion, as if seeking an answer.

Yu Xian drew her into his embrace and said gently, “If you still wish to continue seeking revenge, I will help you destroy the Beiliang Royal Mansion directly. If you no longer wish to seek revenge, then we will go home together.”

“I…” Yu Youwei remained at a loss.

“The King of Beiliang certainly played a good move back then, and he has a good son too. Let today’s events rest here for now. If my wife wishes to continue her revenge in the future, I will personally take action. King of Beiliang, take care of yourself,” Yu Xian said, and then vanished from mid-air with Yu Youwei.

The people of the Beiliang Royal Mansion couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief once the pair had gone.

“He was the one who captured you and Old Huang back then?” Brave asked, his expression gloomy, staring in the direction Yu Xian had disappeared.

Xu Fengnian nodded. “Old man, this Yu Xian is not someone easy to deal with. He acts entirely based on his own preferences, and his cultivation is unfathomably profound—it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the foremost under heaven. Countless powers have already been annihilated by his hand. If that Miss Yu still wants to pursue revenge, then our Beiliang Royal Mansion…”

Xu Fengnian did not finish his sentence, but the implication was clear.

“Can my Beiliang’s three hundred thousand iron cavalry truly be afraid of him?” Brave said in a deep voice.

Xu Fengnian quickly covered his father’s mouth, afraid that Yu Xian might overhear! Loose lips sink ships!

Yu Xian was the ruthless man who destroyed the small nation of Dongying with just forty thousand allied troops. Furthermore, the current Emperor of North Li was his disciple. It was not impossible for him to destroy Beiliang!
