# Chapter 124: A Monarch Is Heartless
"Take care of Liu Fei?"
Lin Feng's expression froze, then he smiled bitterly. That woman Liu Fei was not so easy to take care of.
If she could be like Meng Qing, following him wherever he went, even willing to live together with him, Lin Feng wouldn't mind. But Liu Fei... Lin Feng felt she would be very difficult to handle!
Of course, did Meng Qing need his care?
"Uncle Liu, do you trust me that much?"
"From top to bottom, the Cloud Sea Sect sacrificed themselves entirely just to protect you alone. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
Liu Canglan's gaze fixed on Lin Feng as he smiled and said, "Besides, I think you and Feifei are quite well-matched. If you could take care of her for a lifetime, I wouldn't have any objections!"
"Uh..."
Lin Feng's eyes went wide. Temptation, naked temptation. Liu Canglan was actually entrusting his daughter completely to Lin Feng. For someone like Liu Fei, with her peerless beauty, it was indeed hard for ordinary people to refuse!
Of course, Lin Feng was no ordinary person.
"Uncle Liu, I'm not that kind of person. But since you've said so, I will naturally do my utmost to take good care of her." Lin Feng said haltingly.
Liu Canglan looked at Lin Feng with a grin and said, "I understand you're not that kind of person. Lin Feng, Feifei is entrusted to you."
Seeing Liu Canglan's ambiguous gaze, Lin Feng wished he could smash his head against a wall. He probably thought it would be strange if Lin Feng wasn't that kind of person.
But did Lin Feng have a choice? Faced with Liu Canglan's request, he couldn't possibly refuse. Not refusing meant there was suspicion...
Inside the room, Liu Fei heard that Liu Canglan was actually going to let her leave with Lin Feng. She couldn't help but glare fiercely at Lin Feng and demanded, "What did you say to my father?"
Liu Fei remembered that as soon as Lin Feng arrived, he said he was her man, causing Liu Canglan to misunderstand. She didn't know what they had talked about outside, but after returning, her father actually wanted her to follow Lin Feng. This inevitably made Liu Fei think too much.
Poor Lin Feng found it impossible to explain himself and could only smile bitterly.
"Father, I'm not leaving." Liu Fei looked at Liu Canglan and shook her head.
"Nonsense. Feifei, I've already decided. Let Xiaofeng stay in Broken Blade City for three days. After three days, you will leave with him."
Liu Canglan's expression was serious, with no trace of a smile in his eyes. He had to harden his heart to make Liu Fei leave this place of trouble, leave him, this man of trouble.
"Father!" Liu Fei wanted to say more, but Liu Canglan cut her off.
"Say no more. Unless you no longer acknowledge me as your father."
Liu Fei's body trembled slightly. She stared blankly at Liu Canglan, her gaze making him want to soften, but he knew he couldn't. Liu Fei had to leave.
"Yes, Father."
After what seemed like a long time, Liu Fei nodded. Her eyes were slightly red as she ran toward her room.
Seeing Liu Fei leave, a trace of helplessness finally flashed in Liu Canglan's eyes.
Lin Feng was equally helpless. Liu Canglan had devoted his life to the country, yet was resented by those behind the curtain. Even while resisting foreign enemies, he couldn't have peace of mind. It was disheartening.
"They say actors are heartless, but it is monarchs who are the most heartless."
Lin Feng muttered to himself and sighed.
...
Three days later, on the vast ancient road, horse hooves thundered, raising clouds of dust.
Hundreds of Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry galloped along this ancient road.
"Uncle Liu, see us off here is enough."
Lin Feng rode on a Crimson Blood Steed and said to Liu Canglan beside him.
The speed of the galloping horses gradually slowed until they stopped. Liu Canglan looked at Liu Fei, reluctant to part. Even he didn't know when they would meet again after this farewell.
"Father, you should go back."
Liu Fei was also reluctant. She gritted her teeth and spoke.
"Feifei, promise me, listen to Lin Feng more." Liu Canglan's gaze fixed on Liu Fei as he said seriously.
Although he had only interacted with Lin Feng a few times, Liu Canglan deeply understood Lin Feng's capabilities. Liu Fei had always been impulsive in her actions, and Liu Canglan couldn't rest easy, hence this instruction.
Liu Fei glanced at Lin Feng beside her, then nodded: "Father, I will."
"Take care of yourself." Liu Canglan turned his horse around and galloped away wildly, not even looking back at Liu Fei.
"Lin Feng, help me keep her in line."
A voice drifted slowly from afar, and Liu Canglan's figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
"Miss, take care on the road."
"Young Master, take care on the road."
The crowd on the Crimson Blood Iron Cavalry shouted in unison, then also turned their horses around and galloped away, following Liu Canglan's figure.
Liu Fei's gaze still gazed into the distance at the disappearing figure. For a long time, she didn't move.
Lin Feng quietly stayed there, not disturbing Liu Fei.
"Yesterday, Father told me that the Cloud Sea Sect raised him to adulthood. His master treated him like a son. But back then, he abandoned everything and left the Cloud Sea Sect. Now, he has caused the Cloud Sea Sect to be annihilated. He has let down the Cloud Sea Sect."
"Father told me that back then, Mother fought alongside him at Broken Blade Horizon. She was hit by a poisoned arrow, her body gradually failing. When she died, he was still out killing enemies and didn't even see Mother one last time. He has let down my mother."
"Father also said that the battles at Broken Blade Horizon never ceased. He never had time to take care of me, so he sent me to the Cloud Sea Sect. Now, he has to drive me away from his side. He hasn't fulfilled his duty as a father. He has let me down, his daughter."
"Father also said that hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought alongside him. One batch fell, another came. Now, of the brothers who followed him back then, only a few remain. The rest have turned to yellow earth, buried outside Broken Blade Horizon. And he is still alive and well, yet can't even arrange for the soldiers' remains to be sent home. He has let down millions of passionate soldiers."
Lin Feng listened quietly, his heart incredibly complicated, feeling somewhat bitter.
"Of course I know why Father wants to drive me away. Because he's afraid of implicating me. Actually, he doesn't know that he has never let anyone down. But I know that Snow Moon has let him down."
Hearing Liu Fei's words, Lin Feng looked up toward the sky above.
Snow Moon had let him down, and more than just let him down. The word "let down" was too light!
If Lin Feng had the strength to roam the void, he would charge straight to that towering Imperial City and ask those people where their hearts were!
Only strength could change fate. Only powerful strength could make everything submit. A supreme martial artist could, with a flip of the hand, destroy an entire nation.
Lin Feng never forgot the importance of strength. If one day he reached the clouds, he would surely trample the universe and question the nine heavens.
"If you want to cry, then cry it out."
Coming back to his senses, Lin Feng looked at Liu Fei and said softly.
The grief of Divine Archer Liu Canglan was completely pressing down on the young girl before him. This beautiful girl was only sixteen years old.
Hearing Lin Feng's words, tears in Liu Fei's eyes couldn't be stopped. They flowed slowly down her beautiful cheeks.
Soon, sobbing sounds came from Liu Fei's mouth.
Liu Fei's body leaned forward slightly, as if looking for something to lie on so she could cry her heart out.
Lin Feng revealed a bitter smile. Women were ultimately women, especially young girls. Such immense pressure was enough to crush her.
Urging his horse forward, Lin Feng leaped and landed behind Liu Fei, saying, "I'll lend you my shoulder."
Liu Fei turned her head. Her hazy eyes were already full of tears. She looked at Lin Feng, then, as if forgetting everything, she fell directly into Lin Feng's arms and wept bitterly.
No one knew how much time passed before Liu Fei finally quieted down.
Lifting her head, Liu Fei glanced at Lin Feng and said, "Lecher, taking advantage of my vulnerability."
"Uh!"
Lin Feng's eyes went wide. Women really changed their faces faster than flipping through a book. It seemed this principle held true in this world as well.
"If I recall correctly, someone threw herself into my arms."
Lin Feng muttered gloomily. Liu Fei glared at him fiercely: "Get back over there."
"Fine, I'll go. But at least wipe the traces off your face first."
Lin Feng smiled, leaped, and returned to his own Crimson Blood Steed.
Liu Fei wiped the tear stains from the corners of her eyes. A hint of blush actually flashed across her face, but she turned away so Lin Feng couldn't see it.
"Let's go."
Liu Fei said to Lin Feng with her back turned, then pulled the reins. The Crimson Blood Steed seemed to understand its master's thoughts and galloped forward.
Lin Feng smiled, spurred his horse to catch up, feeling somewhat helpless inside.
Making Liu Fei listen to him seemed very difficult!!
On the vast ancient road, a young man and woman galloped side by side. The man was handsome, the girl beautiful. Their horses galloped like a song, and the landscape was like a painting!
