Chapter 864: Chapter 270 You Little Rascal (Please Subscribe)

Cheng Guang paused for a moment upon hearing Cheng Zhihai’s voice.

He really had not expected Cheng Zhihai to have such concerns.

Thinking about it, it made sense: the whole world had become such a mess, with mysterious and powerful figures emerging endlessly–Great Zhou was relatively calm at this moment.

After all, within the boundaries of Great Zhou, there was still the Tang Chang’an City, there was still himself, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, and there was Wu Ling, the Empress of Great Zhou.

Basically, chaos was unlikely to erupt.

Within the territory of Great Zhou, there were few Immortals and Deities of Heavenly Court or other Western Buddhas causing trouble.

But still.

There might be no great deities, but there were still many lesser monsters.

Just a few lesser monsters were enough to disturb the peace of the entire Great Zhou.

At this moment, Cheng Zhihai’s concerns seemed understandable.

Cheng Guang raised an eyebrow slightly as he thought of this, then he couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head as he leisurely entered the courtyard. He immediately saw Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei in the yard.

Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei seemed to still be arguing about something, their expressions both quite grave.

Cheng Guang walked over slowly and then said to Wu Yuemei with a smile, “Mother, what’s going on?”

Hearing Cheng Guang’s voice, Wu Yuemei lifted her eyes and fixed her gaze upon him, then sighed with a hint of helplessness, “What could it be?”

“It’s your father…”

Cheng Zhihai, hearing Wu Yuemei’s words, also felt somewhat helpless and then pulled Cheng Guang over, saying, “Guanger, come and share your thoughts.”

“The state of Great Zhou is so chaotic now; nowhere is safe, not even the Capital City.”

“I was thinking, would it not be safer for you and your mother to stay with your grandfather?”

Wu Yuemei, who had been better before hearing this, couldn’t help but get angry at Cheng Zhihai’s words.

“Even safer?”

“Now in all of Great Zhou, where can you say is truly safe?”

“Don’t you know?”

“Not long ago, that incident in Great Yan, such a commotion, even Sky-Man had no strength to resist it.”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhihai’s brows inevitably tightened.

He certainly knew what Wu Yuemei was referring to.

The recent events in the Great Yan Dynasty, though not yet fully spread, were no secret among the upper echelons.

The Great Yan Emperor was eradicated.

And the conflict that arose between the mysterious strong being who emerged from the Great Flame Imperial Family’s back mountain and the mysterious strong being opposing Great Yan was simply not something ordinary people could get involved in.

Even Sky-Men were like children in kindergarten when faced with that level of power.

Just thinking about this made Cheng Zhihai feel extremely helpless.

“Even so, your father’s cultivation and strength are relatively high,” he spoke with hesitation.

“In case of an emergency, at least he could protect the two of you.”

In these times of earth-shattering change, with innumerable strong beings emerging and various situations shifting, Cheng Zhihai had already lost much of his former confidence.

Even though Cheng Zhihai was nearly breaking through to the level of Sky-Man,

Yet…

He still felt utterly insecure.

No…

It wasn’t that he felt a little insecure.

It was almost as if he felt no security at all.

Cheng Zhihai’s words reached Wu Yuemei’s ears, eliciting another sigh from her. Her red lips pursed slightly, and a few shades of worry flickered through her beautiful eyes.

“You’re worried about me and Guanger…”

“But…”

“What about you?”

Wu Yuemei was, in the end, worried about Cheng Zhihai.

If Cheng Zhihai had only planned for Wu Yuemei to take Cheng Guang with her to Cheng Shiyuan’s place to avoid the storm,

Then Cheng Zhihai himself had no plans to leave the Great Zhou Capital.

Cheng Zhihai cared for Great Zhou.

Even after Cheng Guang had spoken of establishing his own dynasty, Cheng Zhihai had not thought of turning against Great Zhou.

Even when the Great Zhou Emperor had attempted to make a move against Cheng Guang, the Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, Cheng Zhihai only felt full of sorrow and anger and had never thought about how to retaliate against the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Great Zhou Emperor.

One could say Cheng Zhihai was foolishly loyal, or perhaps inflexible.

But one could not say that Cheng Zhihai was a person who did not care about his family at all.

Faced with Wu Yuemei’s words, Cheng Zhihai did not know what to say for a moment and merely sighed before speaking, “Alright.”

“Guanger, you’ve come just in time. Pack your things and follow your mother to your grandfather’s side.”

“Recently, everywhere there are mysterious powerful beings emerging from who knows where, beings that ordinary people simply cannot deal with.”

“The Great Yan Dynasty is already gone.”

“Next, it might be Great Zhou, Great Wei, or Great Yuan…”

“No matter what the future world might be like, you two must take good care of yourselves.”

Cheng Zhihai’s voice was tinged with a touch of desolation.

In such times, he, as a husband, as a father, was unable to protect his wife and child.

The impact of this on Cheng Zhihai was indescribably huge.

The blow was something he couldn’t even describe with words for a while.

And Cheng Guang, hearing Cheng Zhihai’s words, though showing no change on the surface, couldn’t help but want to laugh in his heart.

Because…

The root of Cheng Zhihai’s fears was the Great Yan Dynasty being crushed by someone.
