Fang and Lin

Yun and Hua rode back to Guangling alone telling the army to meet them there as excuse they said that they wanted to see their families making sure that everything was alright.

They arrived at Guangling after five days of riding non-stop as the guards standing at the gate let them pass immediately since they recognized them.

Hua was the first to jump down his horse as he rushed into the Lu Manor in which their family resided at the moment under Lu Bu's protection who was like a wild tiger at the moment since his grandchildren will be growing up without their father.

Lu Bu was itching to have a real fight against anyone at the moment as he was waiting for Zang Ba and Xiahou Dun to move south but they haven't moved out of Xiapi which was dismantled by Yun before he left to join Cao Cao to attack Jing.

The moment he heard that Yun and Hua arrived in Guangling he went for the Sky Piercer and put on his armor. He wanted to have a fight and Yun would gave to be his opponent to let go of some if his stress.

Yun was still not aware of what Lu Bu had in mind as he rushed after his brother who encounters his wife on the way. Taiyin didn't even know what was going on when she saw Hua's hands in bandages.

Hua hold her in his arms embracing her feeling her warmth trying to find comfort in it while Yun just passed them since the person he wanted to see was further inside.

Yun came across of Rin and Yang. They both got tight hugs by Yun while reassuring them that they soon would be back home in Xiapi. He then passed them when Ai came rushing at him who he lifted up making her feel big when Yun came face to face with the person he was looking for.

Zhen Luo was holding their youngest in her arms when she notices Yun's eyes on her. She handed her youngest over to Mi Shi to look after while she deals with the current problem.

"I see that you have finally found out. I wanted to hold it back until you conquered Xiapi back so you would have a clear mind," says Zhen Luo as she walks toward Yun who grabbed her by her throat.

At first it looked like Yun was going to choke her but when she noticed that it was a gentle touch and not a firm grip she relaxed again as Yun pulled her closer to him before bending down while lifting her head a bit to kiss her.

"I missed this," says Yun after a passionated kiss before letting go of Zhen Luo while Ai was sitting on his shoulder.

"Me too," says Zhen Luo a bit shy since Yun showed his affection for her infront of everyone.

"Where is she?" asks Yun changing the mood faster than expected.

"She is resting beside Fang at the moment," says Zhen Luo as Yun places Ai down since he didn't want to put her through the pain she must have felt when it happened.

"Rin, watch over your little sister until I and your mother return," says Yun seriously as he leaved Ai to Rin.

Zhen Luo leads Yun as they find Taiyin and Hua waiting for them as they lead Yun and Hua to where Fang and their mother were resting at the moment.

Standing before the door blocking the way to the bodies was Lu Bu holding his Sky Piercer in hand ready to fight them going by the Qi he was releasing.

"Fengxian!" shouts someone from behind Yun's group angrily that Lu Bu was standing in their way.

It was Lady Wei, Lu Bu's wife, as she gave a sympathetic look at Yun feeling his pain since she helped Diao Chan in raising the boy as if it was her own while she stayed with Yun's family.

"He doesn't deserve to enter this place," says Lu Bu seriously with anger in his tone.

He points his helbart at Yun while saying, "This all was planned by you from the beginning. You never wanted Fang to be the head of your clan. You only had eyes for Zheng after all. You trained him personally and when he left you even gave him your spear instead of handing it over to your oldest who is now conveniently dead."

This made the blood in Yun boil as he now glared at Lu Bu intensely wanting to rip his head from his shoulders as Hua stood between both of them.

"Yun don't listen to him," says Hua trying to calm Yun down while trying to push him back or at least stop his advance.

"You think, I wanted Fang dead?" asks Yun seriously cold back as he then shouts, "Do you really believe that!"

"He was my firstborn son! I wanted him to live his life until he died in a bed out of old age instead of the battlefield!" shouts Yun at Lu Bu glaring at him while he releases his Qi.

"Stop both of you!" shouts another female voice much younger than Wei Mei who rushed into the courtyard holding one of Fang's children in her arms as she rushes for Yun.

"Father-in-law, please take a look at her," says Huixiu standing between Yun and Lu Bu while presenting her daughter to Yun.

Yun looked at the girl as he touches her feeling the child grow weaker when Yun sees a familiar face standing behind Huixiu and Yun stretches his hand out summoning his Greatsword while putting Huixiu and the girl behind him while pointing the sword at air for everyone else.

"You won't be able to stop me from taking her, Arthur," says a familiar voice to Yun sounding sad as she looked at the girl in Huixiu's arms.

"You won't take her from me. She is one of the two things my son has left behind," says Yun pointing his sword at Lorena who didn't feel intimidated at all.

"You want to stand in Death's Way?" asks Lorena when she hears a whisper enter her ears which Yun didn't hear.

"If I have to," says Yun seriously as he now released all his Elemental, Light, and Dark Qi which created a gray aura around him.

"There is a way to save her since she is one of Diao Chan's descendants. But there is a price that you will need to pay," says Lorena seriously seeing that Yun was serious about going against her even if he didn't have a chance since Death wins always.

"Which price?" asks Yun not believing it completely.

"Compared to your son who was killed in action by a fatal blow, your granddaughter is dying because her Life Essence is coming to an end. Every living being has a limited amount of time once they are conceived. Some live for a hundred years others don't even get to see their first daylight," says Lorena pushing the sword away with just one finger showing the difference between a mortal and a God.

"She can be saved by the price is Life Essence. Someone has to sacrifice their time on this world so she can live a longer life. Are you willing to do so?" asks Lorena looking at Yun as his sword get flung out of his hands while he retreats backward with Huixiu and his grandchild still shielding them.

"Every life is worth more than another doesn't it. How much would fifteen years of my life be worth?" asks Yun seriously not hesitating of sacrificing fifteen years of his life knowing that he would die on the battlefield anyway sooner or later.

"One year of yours is worth three of hers. She could live long enough to have children leaving a legacy behind," says Lorena seriously as she stretches her hand out only for Yun to take it as he felt life slip from his hand entering Lorena who put her palm over the girls head.

Yun fell to his knees as he felt Lorena let go of his hand while his veins were showing on his face showing the pain he went through just for his grandchild when he looks at his blood who seemed full of life when everything turned dark once again for Yun who collapsed right there with a smile on his face.

Lu Bu let go of his weapon as he rushed toward Yun as did Hua thinking that something was wrong with his brother while Lu Bu had witnessed everything.

He didn't know how or why he was allowed to witness the exchange between Lorena and Yun or why Lorena called him Arthur but he felt pain from the mark on his neck while Lorena took Yun's Life Essence from him.

But what confused Lu Bu the most was what Lorena said about his granddaughter being of Diao Chan's bloodline and not Yun's when he feels Lorena's gaze fall upon him making him feel shivers run up and down his spine.

"Be happy that Arthur saved you back then or you would have felt my cold embrace a long time ago," says Lorena as she fades away before Lu Bu could say anything while Hua tried to carry his brother back into the Manor.

Lu Bu recovered rapidly as he helps Hua to get Yun into the Manor while Huixiu heard for the first time her daughter giggle with so much energy making tears fall down her cheeks as she stayed strong to keep her family united.

Wei Mei embraced her daughter feeling relief since it seemed that Yun did something to help their grandchild not noticing tears of joy falling down her cheeks as well.

"It seems Fang will have a little sister after all," says Zhen Luo as Huixiu named her son after her late husband while her daughter had a simple name which is Lin not wanting to give her a big name in the first place in fear that she would get to attached to her.

"Lin will live that is all that matters," says Huixiu in joy as she tried to not kill her daughter with the happy embrace she was giving her.
