Another three months quickly passed, the Mo Family decided to turtle up and wait for Mo Xie to arrive.
Meanwhile, Shang Ting had convinced Mingzi to tell everything, she couldn't believe it when she heard it at first.
She continuously asked about the sighting of the Shang Clan's within the midst of the Zhi Hua Royal Kingdom's army, why were there so many experts from the Shang Clan there?
Mingzi had told the truth, four elders remained loyal to the Shang Clan, the disciples and the rest of the elders betrayed the Clan,
"The truth is, only I, the Su, Jiang, and Ye Clan's eldest daughter, and the Jiang Clan's twin sisters escaped, I don't know where they went, we all were separated when we reached the borders of the Gangting City's territory."
"The men of each clan remained to fight, but... Only the Shang Clan's people betrayed us, saying that our father is an indecisive leader, letting go of a great chance."
Shang Ting felt saddened, those were the people he had known since birth, what's more, the rivals she had grown together with, and now, all of them are gone, she couldn't help but feel worried for the surviving members of each clan.
"Why had you separated? You all would've gotten a bigger chance of surviving if you all stuck together.
Even if you all are being chased, you can fight it off together, right?"
Mingzi shook her head: "Big sis, it... It wasn't like we didn't want to do that, we didn't even have the time to look back as eight experts wrapped in black clothes started to give chase to us. they are all at Sky Shattering rank, causing us endless trouble."
"The Jiang Twins sacrificed themselves first and diverted their attention and took half of the experts away together with her group, the other half is manageable, but all of the elders escorting us out are only at the Earth rank."
Shang Ting nods her head, she paused for a bit before asking: "Anymore you think I need to learn?"
Mingzi looked at the ground before continuing: "Yes, all of the cities, villages, and sects that we passed by have events like that happened in the Gangting City, there is a massive coup within the Zhi Hua Royal Capital,"
"And... all of the Patriarch of the Gangting City on our side broke away from their encirclement, regrouping with their respective daughters, father managed to catch up on us, but later, we were caught again by another party..."
"After that, I was saved by Ao Bai's father while the rest died..."
Shang Ting's face remained stoic, but there is a piercing pain in her heart, but then, Mingzi added.
"And father, when I was being escorted away, he said that...
If I ever see you again, he begged me to tell you that, even though he wasn't the best father in this world, he said that he tried to change wanting to be someone that you can be proud of..."
Hearing this, Shang Ting heard something loud within her heart, she looked at Mingzi and smiled: "That's all, thank you for telling me."
Mingzi felt worried, her sister is pregnant, she decided to tell it to her when everything is calm, but with how Shang Ting had kept forcing her to tell everything, she couldn't help but do so, after all, every time Shang Ting asked, she too can remember and feel the pain so much.
She nods her head and looked at Shang Ting: "Big sis, don't do anything rash, okay? I'm here, we're all safe, let's try to keep it as much as we can, okay?"
Shang Ting nods her head: "Okay, go now."
"Yes." Mingzi bowed and made her way out.
As soon as Mingzi vanished, a single drop of tears escaped her eyes, Shang Ting smiled sadly as she spoke: "Don't worry father, your intention was already delivered when you helped us escape before."
She shook her head to the right and wiped the tears off, it isn't the time to mourn, she's the matriarch of a family, she couldn't show any sign of weakness: "I'll do what I can to take care of my husband's people."
And, her mental health is important as well, carrying lives in her w.o.m.b, anything that can affect it, she tried to suppress.
But she thought that was the end of it, a group of unknown experts arrived within the Mo Family's territory.
"Is this the Mo Family's territory?" A young man hovering in the sky spoke, he then announced himself: "I am Mo Xie's sworn brother, Ouyang Chen, I hope to talk to your Matriarch."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Ouyang Chen, Shang Ting hearing it is her husband's sworn brother, she didn't even hesitate and started to fly over.
When she reached there, she held her hands together and bowed slightly: "I am the Matriarch of the Mo Family, Shang Ting."
As soon as she finished speaking, the elders immediately arrived behind her.
Ouyang Chen hearing this nodded and bowed: "Yes, good to meet you."
As he spoke, he also bowed: "Sister-in-law, I am Ouyang Chen, I hope everything's been well for you, Brother Xie definitely is blessed to have a Goddess as his wife."
As he finished his words, he cupped his hands and spoke: "I bring news from your husband."
Shang Ting nods her head: "I've been doing good, forgive my husband for being such a nuisance as to take up your time."
Ouyang Chen smiled: "Truly blessed with a great wife."
But when he looked at Shang Ting's stomach, he immediately hesitated whether to tell it or not.
Noticing Chen's worry, Shang Ting spoke: "Do not be worried, I am quite a strong woman."
Chen still hesitated, but he brought news from his sworn brother, he needed to deliver it: "Sister-in-law, do not panic as I'm already trying to fix everything, okay?"
Shang Ting nods her head, with how Chen started his words, it must be something dire, but, Ouyang Chen is an Immortal Saint rank while his followers are Immortal Ascension rank, if they can't fix the issue on their own, then, it would definitely be something even graver than she can think of.
Chen hesitated some more, but he's determined to fix this too, hence, he spoke: "Sister-in-law, currently, your husband, Mo Xie might be in grave danger, experts from the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire arrived, I thought... at first I thought he's just being too guarded, thinking too deep on things but..."
"Sister-in-law, I want you to remember, I've already called in experts from my clan, so, do not be worried too much, okay?"
Shang Ting smiled, although her heart had been beating fast when she heard his news, she still maintained her composure.
"He said that there might be traitors within the great Clans of the Soaring Blaze Phoenix Empire, he sent us away for safety... I was quite relaxed at that moment and was planning to return immediately, but... Through our way here, we witnesses chaos, clans after clans attacking one another, sects after sects are drawing blood, fighting never ended through our way here while many other citizens started to evacuate."
Shang Ting heaved in a huge breath, trying to calm herself before speaking: "Please say the words of my husband."
Ouyang Chen felt worried for Shang Ting's health, he was planning to return to the Solar Blaze Kingdom after this, but seeing Shang Ting, he immediately thought of instead of returning, protecting his sworn brother's woman and child takes priority.
"Your husband said that... just believe in him, and..." As he finished his words, he handed a piece of scroll: "He wrote the rest."
Shang Ting smiled and took the scroll: "Please stay in our territory and rest, you might have been exhausted."
Ouyang Chen smiled: "Then, I will gladly accept your hospitality, sister-in-law."
Shang Ting smiled at him and looked at Elder Yi Jun: "Elder Yi Jun, kindly bring them to a courtyard to rest."
"I shall do so." Elder Yi Jun smiled as he led Ouyang Chen's party out.
Shang Ting immediately dispersed the elders: "Return to your own posts."
"Yes." They replied and immediately dispersed.
Shang Ting looked at the scroll, this scroll is tightly sealed that it can only be opened by her, after looking at it for a while, she unfolded the scroll and started to read the scroll.
[No matter your decision, I will support it.
Believe in your own decision, I know you won't do anything rash.
Your decision is as good as mine, whether you disband the Family or do something else.
Whether you attack or not, do what you think is right, never let others hinder your path.
Remember, you are my, Mo Xie's wife.
No matter what happens, believe that I will return.
