Chapter 459: Do You Regret It?

Before they could say another word, their mouths were blocked by the guards. Besides muffled sounds coming from their throats, there were no other sounds.

Looking at the man sitting on the ground in a daze, Lu Qianxuan said, "For more than 9 years, you dedicated everything to the people who killed your family. Do you regret it?"

Feng Hongyi clenched his fists so tightly that his broken nails pierced his palms and drew blood. Even so, the pain was nothing compared to the hatred, anger, shame, and guilt burning in his heart.

He vowed to avenge his family, but in the end, he not only failed to do so, but he even became a dog of his enemies!

He hated the Emperor and the Su family for ruining his family’s reputation and killing his family.

He hated his sister-in-law for betraying his family’s trust and trampling on his brother’s love for her.

But even more so, he hated himself for being so foolish and treating his enemies as his benefactors!

Did he regret it?

"I do not."

Not expecting this answer, Lu Qianxuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"All these years serving the Su family as their shadow guard, I not only stained my hands with countless people’s blood, but I also know all of their dirty secrets."

Noticing the light had finally returned to Feng Hongyi’s eyes, Lu Qianxuan asked again, "Do you want to avenge your family and yourself?"

Feng Hongyi didn’t reply and was lost in his thoughts.

A few minutes later, he forced his injured body to kneel on one knee. Cupping his fists, he bowed to Lu Qianxuan and said, "General, please allow me to return to the Su family."

"What are you going to do after you go back?"

"I’m willing to become the General’s eyes and ears as long as the General gives me the chance to avenge my family personally."

Lu Qianxuan tapped his fingers on the armrest and lost himself in his thoughts.

During his teenage years, both he and Feng Hongyi were known as geniuses amongst their peers. They were born in the same year, same month, and same day. Back then, people loved to compare them.

Although they couldn’t be counted as friends, they admired each other.

No one ever expected that they would one day meet again in this dark dungeon.

"Even if you go back to the Su family, after being captured by me for so many days, it would be impossible for them to trust you as before."

"Rather than putting yourself in danger for an uncertain result, it’s better for you to stay in the army and do what you are good at."

Feng Hongyi never thought that Lu Qianxuan would offer him a chance to join the army.

His Feng family was a family of generals for generations. He had started training in martial arts at the age of 3 and mastered the Feng family’s spear techniques at the age of 13.

Since he could understand things, his family always told him to grow up and become a general who could protect the people and his family.

Their family never sought glory or wealth. All they wanted was a peaceful world where people no longer died of starvation and families were no longer torn apart by war.

Seeing that he had said nothing for so long, Lu Qianxuan asked, "Are you unwilling?"

Coming back to his senses, Feng Hongyi kowtowed to him and replied, "This subordinate is willing!"

Lu Qianxuan walked to him and helped him up personally. Patting his shoulder, he said, "From today onward, you are no longer Su Hanli’s guard, nor a criminal. You are a soldier of the White Tiger Army."

Feng Hongyi nodded, and his eyes flashed with determination.

Now that he had reached his goal, Lu Qianxuan left the dungeon and returned to his bedchamber. He wondered if his wife was still awake or already went to sleep.

As for Feng Hongyi, he was led to a small guest room where he took a bath, changed into a set of clean clothes, and had a meal.

Just after he finished a bowl of porridge, Physician Mu entered his room, followed by his disciple, Mu Shanyan.

When the old man saw how his body was covered in injuries, he frowned.

After he took Feng Hongyi’s pulse and checked his injuries, he said, "Your injuries are only flesh wounds. They didn’t hurt your tendons or bones."

Then, he walked to the table and started writing. "Follow this prescription and drink the medicine twice a day, in the morning after a meal and in the evening before sleep. You will fully recover in half a month."

Mu Shanyan accepted the prescription and went to the kitchen to prepare the medicine, followed by the servant appointed to take care of Feng Hongyi.

Before leaving, Physician Mu cleaned Feng Hongyi’s wounds, applied the wound ointment, and bandaged them.

"Thank you."

Hearing this, Physician Mu waved his hand and said, "I owed your grandfather a favor before. This is the least I can do."

When he heard this, Feng Hongyi nodded.

Half an hour later, the servant returned with a bowl of thick medicine. Feng Hongyi finished the bitter medicine in several gulps without even frowning.

Soon after, the medicine kicked in, and he drifted off to sleep.

For the next few days, Feng Hongyi stayed in the General’s residence to recuperate. At the same time, Yao Zhi and her guards were still wandering in the mountains.

It took them half a month to finish everything and leave the mountain. When they arrived at the General’s residence, Yao Zhi and her guards went to their own rooms to take a bath and rest.

In the past half a month, they had been sleeping under the open sky and climbing the mountains under the hot sun. Except for their Master, everyone’s skin had turned a few shades darker.

Now that they were finally able to take a proper bath, they scrubbed their bodies for a long time before they managed to remove the dirt and sour smell from their bodies.
