C468 Misunderstanding and Reconciliation

"All these years, you have never changed. Only when I say something that doesn't go according to your wishes can you get angry. It was like this then, and it is still the same now. I don't know how to explain it to you to satisfy you. "

The helplessness in Shen Haoxuan's tone caused his father's heart to fiercely tremble.

She started to recall her own thoughts and practices over the years, and realised that they were indeed as Shen Haoxuan had said. When he had chased Shen Haoxuan out of the Shen Mansion, wasn't it just a moment of anger that had nowhere to erupt, that he had vented onto Shen Haoxuan?

He thought that Shen Haoxuan was actually vicious to such an extent, and wanted to assassinate his own son.

But in the end, he realized that he had wrongly blamed Shen Haoxuan, and an endless amount of regret had swallowed him. If not for the news of Shen Haoxuan that had always been circulating through the market all these years, he probably would have sent people to search for him.

He was extremely regretful, but he could not bring himself to look for Shen Haoxuan.

Many times, he had been woken up by nightmares, and he felt that he deserved it.

If he hadn't listened to Shen Haoxuan's explanation back then and was willing to investigate this matter thoroughly, he and his son wouldn't have ended up in such a sorry state.

He twirled his finger uncomfortably, and the emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated. He said unnaturally: "I know that incident back then caused you a great deal of harm. I should not have believed that woman's words and chased you out. But for all these years, I have always wished for you to be able to return to the Shen Mansion, regardless of your identity. "

He still remembered what he had said in his fury.

"You will never be the son of me, Shen Sansheng."

These words, Shen Haoxuan waited ten years and finally heard it from his father's mouth.

He thought he would be resentful, but he discovered that he had only been waiting. In the process of waiting, expectations turned into disappointment.

However, as long as his father said it, this disappointment would once again turn into expectation.

Apologize, it will never be too late.

"Yes." Shen Haoxuan replied softly. His heart was moved and faint traces of water appeared in his eyes.

Waves of cold wind blew through the pavilion, causing Shen Haoxuan's loose long hair to become a mess, but Shen Haoxuan still directly knelt down in the midst of the wind.

His back was straight.

"Father, I have never been able to forget what happened ten years ago. All these years, I have been living in pain. And I waited ten years just for a single word of regret from my father. "Since we've already waited for father's regret, my wish has been fulfilled."

"For the past ten years, I have always been by His Highness side working, but now, I was born with difficulties. His Highness needs me, so naturally, I will do everything I can to help His Highness. After this war ends, I will bring my feelings back to the Shen family and help father take over the Shen family. "

"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Her father was excited, he patted Shen Haoxuan's arm, and said three good words.

The Shen family finally had a successor!

Shen Haoxuan bade farewell to his father, and brought Shang Zhiqing along with him as he made his way to the Mo Bei.

Along the way, they met Ji Rufeng who was escorting them. Shen Haoxuan and Shang Zhiqing joined the group.

"How much food has Brother Ji collected?" Shen Haoxuan rode on his horse together with Ji Rufeng, and casually asked.

He had been collecting military rations for Xuanyuan Chen all year round, so he could naturally estimate how much military rations Ji Rufeng had given to this carriage. It would probably last around a year, and being able to gather so much military rations in this chaotic world was a very rare method and ability.

"About a year." Ji Rufeng replied with a faint smile, but he was thinking about something else.

If the Elders Guild found out about this, he would probably be grounded for a period of time. It would be better to take advantage of the days when he was discovered by the Ji Family's hidden guards to have a good tour around.

I wonder how the battle between the Mo Bei and Wu Huan is progressing?

Mo Yun was too stubborn. He had been imprisoned in hatred for so many years, but he had never been able to escape from it. Now, the friendship between the two of them might even break because of Ji Family.

The Heavenly Saint would definitely be the final winner. Even if Xuanyuan Chen didn't have that ambition, he was still forced to resist and then counterattack.

There were also the help of the Shang and Ji Family families.

Sigh …

He sighed in his heart.

"Big brother, what are you thinking about?" Shang Zhiqing suddenly spoke out, interrupting the sigh in her heart.

Ji Rufeng tilted her head slightly, and glanced at Shang Zhiqing. Seeing that the gloominess in her eyes had completely disappeared, he lowered her head and chuckled.

"You made a trip with Young Master Shen to the Shen family?" Ji Rufeng asked.

Shang Zhiqing was startled by Ji Rufeng's question, even Shen Haoxuan was shocked.

After all, Shen Haoxuan had kept this matter a secret. Other than Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong, no one else knew about it.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you." Shang Zhiqing curled her lips and chuckled.

"Not really." Ji Rufeng shook his head and denied it, "There must be someone who knows your situation better than me. He just did not say it, and you never mentioned it."

Hearing Ji Rufeng's vague words, Shang Zhiqing opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he did not.

Riding on the horse, Shen Haoxuan ran ahead. Seeing Shang Zhiqing leaving without a word, Shen Haoxuan was worried, and quickly followed.

Naturally, he also missed the emotion that flashed past Ji Rufeng's eyes.

Shang Zhiqing rode on his horse and ran far away. The horse was galloping fast as if it was venting its emotions.

Shen Haoxuan didn't dare to move too far away, but he didn't dare to get too close in order to avoid hindering Shang Zhiqing from venting the emotions in his heart.

He was not an idiot, so he naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Ji Rufeng's words. Although he had his doubts, he still wanted to wait for Shang Zhiqing to speak up.

Shang Zhiqing vented her emotions, and the wind brushed past her body. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, and her hair was a mess, but her emotions had already gradually calmed down.

Only then did she turn around and look at Shen Haoxuan who was following behind her. A warm feeling flowed through her heart, pressing onto her heart.

"There's something I want to tell you." Shang Zhiqing spoke straightforwardly, she did not intend to keep it a secret from Shen Haoxuan. Actually, it wasn't a secret, but she had never put it in her heart. Now that Ji Rufeng had mentioned it, she naturally had to give someone back an explanation.

"Yes." Shen Haoxuan said softly, "Tell me, and I'll listen."

He did not expect that Shang Zhiqing would actually tell him about the "he" so quickly.

Their horses were not travelling side by side, but were moving in opposite directions, even Shen Haoxuan's and Shang Zhiqing's positions were also in opposite directions.

"He should be my master, who was sent by the Great Elder to take care of me. He grew up with me and was five years older than me. I treat him like a big brother."

Shang Zhiqing did not like to read books when she was young. She often ran out of the library and played in the wilderness.
