Chapter 1845: Chapter 1825: Lin Yan Story Part 9_1 Chapter 1845: Chapter 1825: Lin Yan Story Part 9_1 Xie Ying looked worried: “Are you going alone?”

“The generals of the North Town Army mostly obey my father’s orders.”

Ye Feng pondered: “When the old army learns that my father is in trouble, they won’t stand idly by. Yun Zheng managed to escape from Capital City because they secretly wanted to help.”

Xie Ying’s eyes filled with tears: “Have you already decided?”

“Yes.”

Ye Feng’s eyes showed determination.

“You go ahead.”

Xie Ying tried to hold back her worry and reluctance, breaking free from his embrace: “Since you’ve already decided, I won’t stop you.”

“Ying’er.”

Ye Feng felt disheartened, taking out a green jade token from his bosom and placed it in his wife’s palm.

“If I don’t come back in a month, you take the children to Crimson Dawn Mountain and find my master, True Master Chixia. When he sees the Jade Token, he will take you in.”

“I don’t want it.”

Xie Ying’s eyes reddened, rejecting the jade token angrily: “You can’t just abandon us. If you dare not come back, I’ll die for you to see, and we’ll walk together on the road to the Underworld.”

“Ying’er, don’t be like this.”

Ye Feng felt disheartened, and said with a bitter smile: “You have to think about the children. They can’t be without parents.”

Xie Ying wept: “You know they can’t be without parents, yet you still want to go to Capital City and risk your life?”

“They are my parents, my family.”

Ye Feng’s heart sank: “I have been unfilial. I cannot just survive at the expense of my family’s safety and disregard their well-being, which would disappoint Yun Zheng.”

“When do you plan to leave?”

Xie Ying’s mood turned somber as they mentioned the injured boy, and she dropped her quarrelsome attitude.

“Today.”

Ye Feng unconsciously gripped his sword.

“You’re leaving today?”

Xie Ying’s voice raised an octave as the imminent departure was hard to accept.

“Be quiet. The girl hasn’t woken up yet.”

Ye Feng was taken aback, and his heart trembled as he glanced at his daughter.

“Daddy.”

The little girl rubbed her eyes, pretending to wake up at that moment, but she had actually been listening to her parents’ conversation.

“Ziyan, you’re awake?”

Ye Feng’s face softened immediately, and he leaned down to gently pat his daughter’s head.

“I’ll bring the food.”

Xie Ying didn’t want her daughter to see her swollen eyes, so she wiped her tears, hurried a few steps, lifted the curtain, and stepped over the threshold.

“Ziyan, be good. Daddy will put your clothes on.”

Ye Feng, fearing the cold weather, skillfully helped his daughter into her padded jacket.

“Hehe.”

The little girl obediently stretched her arms and legs, and the two of them put her clothes on quickly and smoothly.

“Ziyan is such a good girl.”

Ye Feng hugged his daughter, breathing in the intoxicating scent of her, his eyes soft enough to drip water.

“Daddy, eat candy.”

The little girl took a piece of milk candy from her pocket, unwrapped it, and stuffed it into her father’s mouth.

Ye Feng chewed on the candy while holding his daughter’s soft little body, feeling a deep sense of attachment.

The little girl sensed his emotions, hugged his neck, and affectionately rubbed her tiny head against his chin.

“Ziyan.”

Ye Feng tightened his embrace, and his eyes reddened visibly.

After lunch, Ye Feng packed his things and resolutely left Lanshan Village.

Xie Ying held her daughter, watching as his figure gradually disappeared from sight, and she wept.

Ye Zilin remembered his father’s instructions, and with a mature demeanor, he held back his tears, his little face serious.

Ye Zimo already understood what had happened, and seeing his mother and sister crying, he joined in, his hoarse little voice adding to the heartache.

Ye Yunzheng forced himself out of bed and stood at the entrance of the village, his gaze apologetic as he looked at Xie Ying.
