Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

The group watched Lei Dong silently for a while before leaving one after another.

"I just wanted to stay in Snowmoon City to practice martial arts and read books in peace, but you keep coming one after another. Can't you just pretend I don't exist?"

Nothing more than that, the younger ones had just left at noon, and Sikong Changfeng came again in the evening.

"You still want to relax? I think you're quite the troublemaker. Don't think I don't know what you said to Qianluo."

"Ahem, isn't that just teasing a child?"

Hearing Sikong Changfeng's words, Lei Dong was clearly a little guilty. His eyes also became unfocused.

"Leaving aside Qianluo, look at what you and Li Hanyi have done to Snow Moon City lately. Can't you two just stop for once? All you ever do is fight, fight, fight."

Sikong Changfeng sat down and said irritably.

"Ahem, the things in books are static, I should at least try them out after I finish reading them."

In this Snowmoon City, besides the Second City Lord, who else could I possibly fight?

Lei Dong looked at Sikong Changfeng with ill intent as he spoke.

After a long period of fighting, he had figured out Li Hanyi's tactics, and now fighting Li Hanyi wouldn't give him much combat experience. It would be good if Sikong Changfeng could spar with him for a few days.

"Stop it, I have a lot to do today. I don't have time to waste on you."

Seeing Lei Dong's gaze, which was similar to Li Hanyi's, Sikong Changfeng immediately shook his head without hesitation.

"How can you refuse to fight, senior brother, as a gunslinger?"

Senior brother, you must understand that as long as you are strong enough, many troubles are not troubles at all.

Similarly, if you lack the strength, trouble will come knocking on your door even if there is no trouble at all.

It's settled then. I'll be waiting for you by Erhai Lake tomorrow. We'll practice together then.

Lei Dong gave Sikong Changfeng no chance to refuse, and directly issued the notice.

"Stop fooling around."

The White King is here. What are your plans?

Sikong Changfeng didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Whether he comes or not has nothing to do with me. I'm only in Snowmoon City to practice martial arts, nothing more."

"Don't tell me you don't know Xiao Se's identity. I want to hear your true thoughts."

"You yourself said he is Xiao Se, that's all."

Seeing that Sikong Changfeng was staring at him without saying a word, Lei Dong had no choice but to continue speaking.

"If he acts sullenly, then he is my friend, and I will protect him."

If he wants to be a prince, all I can do is wish him peace.

Well, but if he wants to exonerate the Prince of Langya and turn Beili upside down...

If I have the ability then, I might actually help him out.

After all, the people of Lei Family Fort cannot die without knowing why.

If I go to Tianqi, the Xiao family must give me an explanation for Lei Meng's killing of my master's uncle.

Are you satisfied with my answer, senior?

The death of the Prince of Langya was his own fault; what does it have to do with me?

However, Lei Mengsha is different. He is a member of our Lei Family Fortress. The Lei family only produces such a rare individual who defies ancestral teachings to serve the country once in a hundred years.

But he died in a power struggle. Did he really think there were no adults in the family?

"Don't do anything reckless."

Sikong Changfeng's hand trembled. He wanted to know Lei Dong's attitude so he could make arrangements, since Lei Dong was a powerful force that needed to be used in key situations.

Judging from what he said, it sounds like he's planning something big.

"Senior brother, aren't you saying this because you want to know what's on my mind?"

"What do you mean by 'reckless'? Don't worry, I won't act unless I'm strong enough. I know what I'm doing and won't put myself in danger; you can rest assured about that."

Sikong Changfeng really wanted to ask him, "Is that what I meant?"

However, he could tell that Lei Dong wouldn't be able to tell him the truth, so he revealed his purpose.

"Ahem, I'd like to give my Vermilion Bird Token to Qianluo. What do you think, Junior Brother?"

My junior brother's ideas are very imaginative; I'd like to hear his opinion.

Lei Dong glanced towards the door and said irritably.

"Not good. What were you thinking, Senior Brother? You're treating a royal guard token like a family heirloom."

Upon hearing Lei Dong's words, Sikong Changfeng's eyes widened instantly.

"Junior brother, what kind of talk is that? What do you mean by 'guards of the royal palace'?"

"Isn't that right?"

From what I understand, you use the name of the Four Guardians of the Apocalypse, but you're actually doing the work of guards in the royal palace.

In other words, it's just that the King of Langya has too much power; with just a word, he gave you four retainers the title of the Four Guardians of Tianqi.

If you weren't so strong and your contributions so great, who would recognize your lousy brand?

This doesn't change the fact that you are guards of the Prince's Palace.

Seeing Sikong Changfeng blowing his beard and glaring at him, Lei Dong pressed down on his hand. Continue.

"Don't be in such a hurry. Let me ask you, what are the responsibilities of the Four Guardians of Apocalypse?"

The choice is between protecting Beili, defending against foreign enemies, or protecting the Xiao imperial family.

As far as I know, aside from being beaten by Ye Dingzhi, you haven't participated in any wars to resist foreign enemies. Clearly, your responsibility doesn't lie with the outside world.

As for protecting the common people, I haven't seen you do anything for them, let alone anything related to them.

Protecting the royal lineage, it seems that apart from accompanying the Prince of Langya in killing a few of his brothers, you don't really respect other members of the royal family, or even the Emperor.

You and Aunt Li Xinyue are even more outrageous, as the Four Guardians of Apocalypse.

You beat up the emperor's father-in-law in the street and abducted the imperial concubine.

The aunt stormed the execution ground and drew her sword at the emperor.

Yes, Ji Ruofeng even arranged for people to be stationed in the imperial palace.

Tang Lianyue and Anhe are in a relationship. Well, Anhe is a national institution, so that's not a big deal.

Based on what you've done, I see no revelation you're supposed to be protecting.

What do you want Qianluo to do by giving her the token? Do you want her to accompany Xiaose to overturn the verdict against the Prince of Langya and get the emperor to confess, or do you want her to become a pirate with the young Prince of Langya?

Isn't Qian's job still that of a guard in the Prince's mansion?

"Is there a problem with you saying you're guards of the Prince's residence?"

"You are unreasonable."

Sikong Changfeng snorted coldly, got up and left.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Li Hanyi holding the Azure Dragon Token, about to throw it away.

The two looked at each other, their faces showing an indescribable awkwardness.

"Ahem, this is still Sister Xinyue's memento, so it's good to keep it as a keepsake."

With that, he turned around and glared fiercely at Lei Dong, who was perched on the door frame with half his head sticking out to watch the commotion, before walking away.

"I was originally going to ask Xiao Jie if he wanted to take over this sign. But now it seems unnecessary."

Li Hanyi put away the Azure Dragon Token, glared at Lei Dong, and said irritably.

After all, this is the career her mother has dedicated her entire life to.

How could this guy make it sound so ridiculous? The more accurate his statements were, the more Li Hanyi wanted to punch him. What was going on?

"I've always disliked this brand. Now it seems I was right."

"Were my mother and the others really wrong?"

After entering the hospital, Li Hanyi put away her sharp demeanor and appeared somewhat melancholy.

"If you ask me, your father and mother were brainwashed by Xiao Ruofeng. The things they did were completely incomprehensible."

What have those two gained after following the Prince of Langya for so many years?

Over the years, has your family been powerful or wealthy?

With your parents' abilities, building Snow Moon City wouldn't be a problem, but transforming Sword Heart Tomb into a force of the same scale as Peerless City would certainly be no problem.

As a result, Kenshin Yuuki killed someone in his sleep.

One fought desperately on the front lines, while the other became the head of the guards.

Your father's promotion was undeserved, while your mother didn't even have a single subordinate of her own. In the end, one died and the other was crippled.

They say that if superiors and subordinates don't give each other any benefits, then they're working for free.

"You're talking about friendship, but all you do is talk about feelings, no financial gain whatsoever. It's all your parents' doing. Do you think that's reasonable? Is he suitable?"
