Inside the Forbidden City, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

A middle-aged man dressed in a golden dragon robe sat upright on the dragon throne. His eyes were closed and his face was calm, yet he exuded an aura of majesty that resembled the power of heaven.

His upright posture, like a majestic mountain peak, inspires awe in all who behold him.

The golden dragon embroidered on the dragon robe is so lifelike that it seems ready to take flight at any moment, displaying unparalleled majesty and nobility.

The air around him seemed to freeze, filled with a suffocating pressure.

Sunlight streamed through the window, bathing him in golden light that shone on his dragon robe, further emphasizing his sacred and inviolable nature.

Every movement and every expression of his was full of power and majesty, making him irresistible.

This person is the sole master of this Holy Dynasty and the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

Holy Heavenly Emperor, Luo Tianyang.

At this moment, a man in black robes was kneeling in the center of the hall. He kept his head down and dared not look directly at the emperor's face, for fear of offending the supreme ruler.

"explain."

After a moment, Luo Tianyang slowly uttered a single word.

This single word seemed to contain boundless power, its sound echoing through the air.

The space itself seemed to tremble because of this one word, rippling outwards in waves.

The ripples spread outwards like water waves, and wherever they touched, the air seemed to become heavy.

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes dared to move his lips and said respectfully, "Miss Luo Thirteen, we found an infant outside today."

Upon hearing that the news concerned Luo Shisan, Luo Tianyang's tightly closed golden eyes on the dragon throne snapped open instantly, like two bolts of lightning piercing the sky.

In an instant, a dragon's roar seemed to echo in the air, a deep and powerful sound, like that of an ancient beast, making one's heart tremble.

A sharp light shone in Luo Tianyang's eyes, as if it could pierce through all the fog.

Under the gaze of those golden eyes, everything seemed small and insignificant.

"Where did that baby come from?"

Luo Tianyang continued to ask.

"I immediately went to investigate the origin of this baby, but to my surprise, I couldn't find any background information about the baby at all. It's as if he appeared out of thin air. Even the Mirror of Manifestation couldn't detect anything unusual."

The man in the black robe answered.

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Luo Tianyang's golden eyes, as if he were deep in thought.

"Should I eliminate it? I'm worried this could be a sign that the Black Nether Cult is making a comeback..."

The man in black robes stopped halfway through his sentence, leaving the other half unsaid.

Luo Tianyang remained calm, his eyes as still as a deep well. How could he not know what the following words meant?

Luo Shisan's birth was part of a conspiracy orchestrated by the Black Nether Cult against him, but unfortunately, he was a girl.

But no matter what, Luo Shisan's blood still flows in his veins.

Luo Tianyang has a total of thirteen offspring, ten sons and three daughters. The oldest is thirty-five, and the youngest, Luo Shisan, is only thirteen years old this year.

The other twelve people had all received Luo Tianyang's favor, and they lacked nothing in terms of cultivation treasures, various rare pills, or wise teachers and teaching assistants.

Luo Shisan was nothing more than a lowly rat hiding underground, born from his schemes.

Not only that, Luo Shisan has not received any help from him over the years, and even now Luo Shisan does not know what his biological father looks like.

The reason Luo Tianyang didn't kill Luo Shisan along with her was to use her as a test to see if he could lure out the remnants of the Black Nether Sect.

For thirteen years, Luo Shisan's every move has been under Luo Tianyang's watchful eye.

Unfortunately, the person Luo Shisan had the most contact with was her bodyguard, Qingyu.

He didn't kill Luo Shisan back then, so he's even less likely to kill him now. The girl's lonely figure had once stirred a slight tremor in Luo Tianyang's heart, though it was very faint and negligible.

"Forget it! Let her go! She's just a bunch of rats, nothing to fear."

Luo Tianyang said calmly.

The current Luo Tianyang is no longer the same person he was thirteen years ago. With his current cultivation level of Great Emperor, he is the number one person in the entire cultivation world.

Even if there is any abnormality, he can suppress it immediately.

Inside the Luo residence at this moment.

Shen Shuchou had no idea that he had just escaped death.

He had just eaten and drunk his fill and was now fast asleep.

Even though Shen Shuchou has the soul of an adult, he can't escape the instincts of an infant, which are to eat and sleep.

Leng Chaozhi slowly lowered her clothes with her jade-like hand, gently covering the hint of spring that was about to burst forth.

Her eyes were gentle as she gazed at Shen Shuchou, and only after confirming that he was asleep did she slowly get up and leave.

As soon as he stepped outside, he ran into Luo Shisan, who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"How's it going? Where's my brother?"

When Luo Shisan saw Leng Chaozhi come out, he looked around immediately but did not find Shen Shuchou.

Seeing Luo Shisan's anxious appearance, Leng Chaozhi smiled slightly and said, "He just finished eating and is now asleep."

Upon hearing this, Luo Shisan's head immediately drooped, and he said sullenly, "Fine! I still want to hug him."

Leng Chaozhi took in Luo Shisan's expression, wondering about the baby's true identity.

She had been by Luo Shisan's side for over a decade and knew everything about her experiences.

Especially after Luo Shisan gradually matured and learned some things, she never showed her emotions on her face again.

Normally, Luo Shisan always keeps his emotions to himself, like a precious treasure hidden deep in a secret chest, never easily showing them to others.

She was used to using calmness and indifference to disguise herself, making it difficult for others to see her true thoughts.

However, they never wore their emotions on their sleeves like they do today.

At this moment, Luo Shisan's joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were completely undisguised, and every emotion was vividly displayed on his delicate face.

It's like a vivid painting, allowing one to clearly feel the turmoil in her heart.

All these changes stemmed from this baby. Even though Leng Chaozhi wouldn't ask, she couldn't resist her curiosity.

Luo Shisan naturally noticed the curiosity written on Leng Chaozhi's face, but he did not choose to hide it and told her how he had found Shen Shuchou today.

"Perhaps he truly was brought to Miss's side by fate."

After hearing what happened, a trace of sadness suddenly appeared in Leng Chaozhi's beautiful eyes, as if she had thought of something.

More than a decade ago, she also had a loving husband and a lovely daughter.

Back then, the three of them lived happily together, their lives filled with warmth and sweetness.

However, fate cruelly played a trick on her, and they all passed away one after another.

That happiness shattered in an instant, like a beautiful bubble disappearing in the sunlight.

Leng Chaozhi's world was plunged into darkness from that moment on, with endless pain and longing following her like a shadow.

During that period, Leng Chaozhi never communicated with anyone and kept herself in seclusion.

Then a major event occurred in the Holy Dynasty: the birth of Luo Shisan.

The birth of Luo Shisan was not only a conspiracy of the Black Nether Cult, but also a disgrace to the Luo family of the Holy Dynasty.

The emperor, a dignified ruler, had a daughter with the holy maiden of the Black Nether Sect. The empress at the time was furious and wanted to execute Luo Shisan, but Luo Tianyang stopped her in the end.

Even so, Luo Shisan, who was still an infant at the time, was carelessly abandoned on the cold ground of the side hall.

It was raining heavily at that time, with large raindrops relentlessly pelting down, and little Luo Shisan was exposed to the rain.

Out of respect for the Empress's authority, none of the wet nurses in the palace dared to step forward.

Despite feeling pity, they could only watch helplessly as little Luo Shisan cried in the wind and rain.

In the end, Leng Chaozhi risked her life to carry Luo Shisan out of the rain. For Luo Shisan, Leng Chaozhi was the first ray of light in her life.

In Leng Chaozhi's heart, Luo Shisan was like her own daughter, whom she had carefully raised since childhood.

Seeing Luo Shisan happy now, she felt genuinely happy for her too.

As for Shen Shuchou's plight, Leng Chaozhi felt the same pity she had for Luo Shisan, who was all alone in the rain.
