"They're from the Devil Shadow Sect." Han Xiangtian stared fixedly at Han Zhao for a long time before softly speaking.

"Father, yesterday, this son and grandfather already checked if they have anything that can prove their identities." Han Xiao took a step forward and said.

"Father, your son can prove their identities. What's more, the Devil Shadow Sect is one of the top powers on the Kuang Xiao Continent. It is indeed not something our Cloud Ming Empire can offend." Han Zhao also stepped forward and said loudly.

He fixed his gaze at Han Xiangtian and a trace of murderous intent rose in his eyes. However, he immediately calmed himself down. "If they really are from the Devil Shadow Sect, then this matter with the Minister Zuo can only be forgotten."

"Your majesty." Hearing Han Xiangtian's words, Zuo You suddenly raised his head and shouted sorrowfully. Did he really have to let things go like this after his son died?

"Zhe'er is right. The Yun Ming Empire cannot afford to offend the Devil Shadow Sect. Therefore, we can only let go of your son's matter." Han Xiangtian faintly said, but the hand he used to hold the dragon throne was already tightly clenched.

Hearing Han Xiangtian say this, Zuo You Shi's body swayed. His own son had died, but he couldn't avenge him. As a father, he was such a useless person.

"Minister Zuo, I know you are feeling wronged, but if I really want to call your son a virgin, that would be giving him a bit of honor, right?" Han Xiangtian sighed. The helplessness in his words caused the court ministers to feel a chill in their hearts.

Hearing Han Xiangtian's words, Zuo You's heart ached even more. He could only kowtow and say, "This old subject knows, this old subject thanks Master for his kindness."

After Zuo You Shi finished talking, the other ministers all went up to talk about other things. Although Han Xiangtian seemed to be listening seriously, it was hard to tell what he was thinking as he drummed his fingers on the dragon throne.

Han Xiangtian slowly looked at the ministers below, and finally, his gaze landed on Han Xiao. Looking at the face of the man he loved, he softly sighed in his heart and then lightly opened his mouth, "Since everyone has already said it, I have something to say as well. I have already decided to establish Seventh Prince Han Xiao as Crown Prince, and the official inauguration will be held on the tenth day of the next two months.

"Father, this son believes that I am still too young to bear the heavy responsibility of being the crown prince." From the beginning, he had never thought of becoming the emperor, not to mention that after this year's annual leave, he did not plan to return to the Cloud Ming Empire.

Han Xiangtian had originally wanted to make Han Xiao the Crown Prince's official, but now that Han Xiao said he didn't want to be the Crown Prince, he was stunned. Who wouldn't want to be the Crown Prince? But the Seventh Prince actually wanted to give it away.

"I have already made up my mind. Xiao'er, there is no need for you to say anymore. If there is nothing else, you can disperse." With that, Han Xiangtian waved his sleeves and left, leaving the ministers standing there in a daze.

"Congratulations, Seventh Imperial Brother. No, from now on, it's time to call him Crown Prince." Han Zhao walked in front of Han Xiao and said with a smile, but underneath that smile was an undisguised murderous intent.

Sensing the increasingly intense killing intent from Han Zhao, the corner of Han Xiao's mouth curled up into a faint smile as he said, "I think this is called intentionally planting flowers but not planting flowers, and unintentionally cutting into the shadows." After Han Xiao said this, he didn't care about whether Han Ziming understood what he meant or not and left the True Sun Palace immediately. But after leaving the True Sun Palace, Han Xiao's face immediately became extremely unsightly, "Do you need me to warn Han Zhao? royal father, this move of yours is really good. "

"Using a Zuo Jie to break up the relationship between Zuo You Shi and Zhe'er, Xiao'er, your skills are far beyond my imagination." A faint voice came from behind the pillar. Han Xiao raised his head and saw Han Xiangtian slowly walk out from behind the pillar. Let's take a walk together. Let's go to your favorite bamboo forest. " Han Xiangtian looked at Han Xiao and said.

"Alright." Han Xiao nodded and met Han Xiangtian's gaze.

He quietly followed Han Xiangtian around the palace. Although he appeared calm on the surface, Han Xiao was constantly guessing Han Xiangtian's intentions. Han Xiao only came back to his senses when he felt that the person in front of him had stopped.

"Xiao'er, you've enjoyed training here since you were young, right?" Han Xiangtian faintly said.

Just as Han Xiangtian was about to ask how he knew Han Xiangtian had trained in the bamboo forest since childhood, he saw a black shadow flash across his chest, causing him a pain. A huge force directly sent him flying.

BOOM! Han Xiao's body heavily crashed into the bamboo behind him. The bamboo was originally tough and tenacious, but fortunately, it was hit and not broken from the middle. Otherwise, his chest would have been pierced through.

"Cough, cough." Han Xiao covered his chest and coughed with great difficulty. His chest had caved in, and he even suspected that his ribs were broken.

"Xiao'er, stand up. Let us see what you have improved in the past year." Han Xiangtian lightly said as he walked in front of Han Xiao.

Seeing Han Xiangtian, Han Xiao slowly stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. A gentle smile formed on his face as he said, "Okay, Royal Father, please enlighten me." With that, Han Xiao raised his leg and kicked Han Xiangtian.

Han Xiangtian slightly tilted his body to avoid Han Xiao's attack, and at the same time, he turned his hand to strike Han Xiao's head.

His hind leg stomped on the ground and rolled back, only to see a black shadow flying towards him again. Han Xiao didn't even have time to react before he was sent flying again.

BOOM! But this time, he was not as lucky as last time. The emerald green bamboo directly pierced through his chest, and bright red blood flowed down his wound, dyeing the bamboo red, causing it to appear even more enchanting.

"You can't stand up like this?" Han Xiangtian lightly looked at Han Xiao and said.

"Heaven's Soul, summon thunder." Han Xiao's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. With a soft shout, a silver bolt of lightning rapidly descended from the sky, directly striking towards Han Xiangtian.

"This is … the soul of the heavens." A hint of surprise flashed across Han Xiangtian's eyes. Just as he was about to fly away, he suddenly felt like he couldn't move his feet. He looked down and saw that the ground was covered in ice. He couldn't even move his feet. At this moment, the silver lightning directly struck Han Xiangtian.

Han Xiao carefully pulled the bamboo out of his body with one hand and tried to stand up with the other hand against the ground, but as soon as he pulled the bamboo out, a pair of golden shoes appeared in front of him. He raised his head along the shoe and saw that Han Xiangtian was standing in front of him unharmed.

"Hey, father, it's a violation of the rules for a cultivator at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Stage to fight a cultivator at the early stage of the Awakening Realm." Han Xiao also stopped getting up, looking at Han Xiangtian indifferently, but his slightly raised eyebrows were very similar to Han Xiangtian's expression.

After taking a close look at Han Xiao's injuries, Han Xiangtian waved his hand and threw a porcelain bottle to Han Xiao, "Inside this bottle is the Muscle Meridian Rejuvenation Pill. It has a miraculous healing effect."

Pulling the lid off the porcelain bottle, Han Xiao directly swallowed the pill. When the Muscle Meridian Rebirth Pill entered his body, he felt a slight itch. Lowering his head, he saw that the bloody hole in his abdomen was no longer bleeding, and he could feel that the wound was slowly healing.

Han Xiangtian sat on the ground and started to recuperate as he absorbed the Bodhisattva Energy around him. Han Xiangtian quietly watched as Han Xiangtian healed his wounds. He didn't say anything else except for giving Han Xiangtian the Muscle Meridian Rejuvenation Pill.

It was only when the sun had set that Han Xiao felt that most of the wounds on his body had healed. He slowly opened his eyes and strangely found that Han Xiangtian was still there. Before his brain could react, he blurted out, "Royal father, why are you still here?"

"I'm waiting for you to heal." Han Xiangtian faintly said.

Although Han Xiangtian's tone was indifferent, Han Xiao saw a trace of worry in his eyes and his heart immediately became even more baffled. Today, Han Xiangtian was too abnormal; not only did Han Xiangtian inexplicably call him crown prince, even bringing him to the bamboo forest to suddenly attack him was very strange. In the end, Han Xiao had always been guarding Han Xiangtian from the start.

Xiao'er, you have been smart since you were young, you could barely walk since you were four months old. When you were one year old, you knew that you had been secretly eating in the imperial kitchen, that you started cultivating when you were three, reached the middle stage of the moving state at the age of four, sneaked out of the imperial palace for the first time at the age of five, broke through to the Shapeshifting stage at the age of ten, broke through the condensed state at the age of sixteen, two months, and when you were seventeen, your cultivation almost went berserk and caused a huge fire outside. You like to eat meat, especially fish meat. Han Xiangtian looked at Han Xiao as if what he said was just a small matter.

But Han Xiao could no longer maintain his composure after hearing Han Xiangtian's first sentence. His eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Han Xiangtian. Those were the experiences he had since he was young, to the point that he couldn't remember some of them clearly.

"How do you know all this?" Han Xiao mumbled to himself.

"After you were born, Yun'er died. At that time, I did hate you very much, hated your birth for killing Yun'er, and after knowing that you were a cripple, I wanted to kill you as well, but after calming down, I slowly began to understand, you were Yun'er's life in exchange for Yun'er's love, and you were the innocent Yun'er, I shouldn't have forced Yun'er's death on you, so I wanted to announce that you are my seventh prince, and I made you the title of Crown Prince. But when I walked into the Palace, and saw your sleeping face, I hesitated." Otherwise, do you really think that you could have relied on your movement technique to avoid the imperial kitchen guards, and coincidentally had something you liked to eat stay behind every day? " Finally, the corner of Han Xiangtian's mouth raised into a faint smile, as if he was ridiculing Han Xiaoxiao's naivety, but also as if he was in a good mood due to the words that he had suppressed in his heart for many years.

After hearing these words, Han Xiao was even more shocked than before. He had always thought that Han Xiangtian hated him for never treating him as his own son, even though on the surface, he did not seem to care, but in this world, which child was willing to be abandoned by his own father? However, Han Xiao, who was used to disguising himself as his own father, hid these feelings in the most hidden corner of his heart, as if he really did not care, did not care about his own father's attitude towards him, and did not care about his shallow kinship.

Seeing Han Xiao's dazed expression, Han Xiangtian faintly smiled, gently stroking Han Xiao's head. "In the blink of an eye, my Xiao'er is nineteen years old. Xiao'er, all these years, royal father has caused you to suffer."

Raising his head to look at Han Xiangtian's doting eyes, Han Xiao didn't know what to say. The wall in his heart quietly collapsed after what Han Xiangtian had said. All that remained was a slow warmth and the joy of regaining family love.

Han Xiao looked Han Xiangtian in the eye and said, "I don't feel wronged, not to mention that you and I are father and son, how can you feel wronged?"
