CHAPTER 64

"It's me."

A lordling of fifteen or sixteen years of age emerged from the long corridor as soon as Fu Changling finished speaking.

He was donning the Fu Clan's splendid black attire, embellished with golden chrysanthemum motifs. A black crystal pendant was tied to his belt, and the folding fan he was holding was made of golden iron. His almond-shaped eyes were quite arrogant, glaring contemptuously at Fu Changling, saying, "Keep your damn eyes wide open and see who I am."

Fu Changling was speechless for a moment as he stared at the person who showed up. Standing motionless, he clutched his fan tightly, not knowing what to say.

Shangguan Mingyan leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Shen Xiōng, do you know this person?"

Of course, he knew who this was. The words "Fu Clan's direct line of descent" were written all over this lordling. How was he unknown to Fu Changling? This was his half-brother, Yue Sihua's biological son, Fu Changyan.

Before Fu Changyan showed up, Fu Changling still had faith in his own clan's traditions. At least, indecently harassing a woman shouldn't occur in the Fu Clan. Forcing someone to express their feelings was, after all, both out of character and degrading. Moreover, Fu Changyan had always been the Fu Clan's good lad. Even if there was really a scumbag that corrupted the clan's traditions, it shouldn't have been Fu Changyan.

After a brief moment, he became a bit annoyed and unconsciously glanced at Qin Yan next to him, who was looking at him furtively. "Shīxiōng, leave it to me," Fu Changling immediately said, his face flushed with panic.

With that, Fu Changling stormed up in a furious manner. Fu Changyan scoffed coldly, brought his golden fan to his lips, and uttered in a childish voice, "The law encompasses Heaven and Earth..."

Before he could finish, Fu Changling whacked him directly on the head. Then, before Fu Changyan could react, he smacked his head repeatedly and cursed angrily, "The law encompasses Heaven and Earth-what the hell?! Is this what your father or your clan taught you? Forcibly kidnapping a commoner's daughter in broad daylight? You're courting death, I see!"

Fu Changling lashed out at Fu Changyan with ferocity. Fu Changyan had wanted to strike back, but as soon as the intimidating force of the Deification level descended, he instantly panicked and backed away, anxiously saying, "I dare not. Senior, I was wrong. I dare not."

The attendant next to him wanted to give him a hand, but once he heard Fu Changling's tone of seniority and sensed his intimidating force, he dared not come forward for a while. Standing in front of the corridor, unsure whether to leave or stay, he was in a dilemma when he heard a female voice coldly say, "Senior, stop!"

At this loud shout, Fu Changling finally stopped and turned his head. Right in front of the inn, a blue-clad woman stood still. She appeared to be no older than in her early thirties, styling her hair in a bun with a golden hairpin and wearing fancy attire. Accompanied by an entourage of attendants, she was very imposing.

As soon as he spotted the person, Fu Changyan immediately poked his head out and called out in a low voice, "Mother!"

"Shut up!" Once again, Fu Changling smacked him. Fu Changyan quickly held his head and squatted down, no longer speaking. Turning around, Fu Changling looked at the woman standing in the doorway, cupped his hand in salute, and said with a smile, "Madame Fu."

When Yue Sihua heard the title used to address her, her expression remained unchanged. She turned her head, swept a glance around, and spotted Qin Yan. She frowned after a pause in her expression. "People from the Hongmeng Heavenly Palace?"
