When he saw the people on the falcon’s body, Bei Gong Er’s expression changed, then changed again. Even Bei Gong Tangs’ expression was tearful.
Sima You Yue and the others came to the main door and saw the people who were observing the situation. “Bei Gong, we’ve gotten your mother back.”
Falcon placed them on the ground, then turned back into his human appearance and stood behind the falcon King.
“Mother!” Bei Gong Tang immediately ran into her mother’s embrace.
Although Yin Lan was still covered with a cloth, although they had not seen each other for a long time, she still recognised her in a heartbeat.
Yin Lan’s ability to sense her surroundings were as powerful as being able to function as her eyes, but when she felt the real warmth of her daughter that she had been longing for night and day, when she heard that voice calling her ‘mother’, she could not help but rip the cloth off her.
It had been too long since she had seen the sun. Although she had gotten a bit of it just now, when she ripped the cloth away, the sun was too glaring and blinded her.
“Mother, you haven’t seen the sun in so long. Why did you tear the cloth off?” Bei Gong Tang took the cloth and wanted to help her put it on again.
“Mother doesn’t care about that. I can still bear this amount of sunlight. I want to see you.” Yin Lan gathered her spirit energy and got her eyes to open slowly. She saw Bei Gong Tang, who had grown up, and could not help her eyes from going red. She stretched forth a hand to touch her face and say emotionally, “Good. It’s good. I actually lived long enough to see you again.”
Bei Gong Tang stretched forth her hand and placed it on the back of her mother’s hand. Her heart was pumping, “Mother, your daughter has returned.”
“Sister.” Bei Gong Hang was a lot weaker, so he didn’t dare to take the cloth off. However, his senses had become very sensitive after being shut away for so many years. That was why he knew about Bei Gong Tang’s current circumstance as well. He was merely unable to remove the cloth to see it for himself.
Bei Gong Tang came out from Yin Lan’s embrace and hugged Bei Gong Hang, saying, “Brother, it’s been tough on you.”
That year when her uncle had come back, he said that he could only take one person away. She had initially wanted to let Bei Gong Hang escape. However, she had been pushed into her uncle’s embrace by Bei Gong Hang. The time had been tight then, so her uncle had grabbed her and escaped.
“I always believed that you, sister, would come back and save us.” Bei Gong Hang smiled and said simply.
“Mm. I’m back. If you have any problems in the future, just leave it to me.” Bei Gong Tang released Bei Gong Hang and patted him on the back with a smile filled with tears.
Sima You Yue’s lips hooked into a bitter smile when she heard what Bei Gong Tang said. She lifted her face slowly, not allowing her emotions to reveal themselves.
She also wanted to tell that person that his sister was back. That he could leave everything to her.
Yin Hao saw that Yin Lan and Bei Gong Tang were still alive, so he was very emotional as well. However, seeing how emotional Bei Gong Tang was, he could only control himself and say to the Bei Gong clansmen, “Didn’t you say that my Sister and nephew were dead? Who are they, then? Bei Gong clan leader, my Yin clan will need a proper explanation!”
The general populace saw Yin Lan and Bei Gong Hang appear live in the flesh in front of everyone with mocking expressions. They had just said that they were dead at least five times and were even saying it like a solemn vow. However, reality was slapping them hard across their faces!
It was as if everyone could literally hear the sounds of slapping.
Up to this moment, the Bei Gong clan had remained silent and offered no explanation As long as nobody saw Yin Lan and Bei Gong Han in person, they could claim that they were dead. However, now that these ‘dead’ people had appeared, nothing that they said would be of any use.
Bei Gong Xiong immediately cast his gaze filled with hatred on Sima You Yue. He asked in an interrogating manner, “Young Lord Si Yue, what do you mean by this?”
They had always treated her with unquestionable hospitality and treated her as an honored guest. Now that she had done this, it was clear that her motive for entering the Bei Gong clan wasn’t so simple.
Sima You Yue smiled as she replied, “Bei Gong clan Leader, I’m not called Si Yue. I am Sima You Yue. I’m a companion who grew up together with Bei Gong Tang.
What was there not to understand from this explanation?
“The pill was a fake.” Bei Gong Xiong glared at her hatefully.
“Why else would you let us enter? If we did not enter, how could we rescue her mother and brother?” Sima You Yue commented lightly.
This clan of people had a thick skin. Now, they were not thinking of how to explain the situation but were complaining that she had been rescued.
“Falcon King, your falcon clan has never deigned to interact with humans. Why would you be willing to be the helper of humans.”
Falcon King glanced sideways at Bei Gong Xiong, “I obey my King’s wishes.”
“King… could it be that Great Four Winged Roc that appeared in the South?!” An elder cried out.
“How long does your Bei Gong clan plan to overlook our Yin Clan?” Yin Hao’s expression was ice cold as he released a bone chilling aura, “When I came to meet my sister and nephew a few years back, you told me that they were already dead. They are now standing well alive in front of me! Bei Gong Xiong, I respect that you are a clan leader, but if you do not offer me a reasonable explanation, my Yin Clan will not just leave things as they are!”
“Yin Lan had already married into my Bei Gong Clan more than twenty years ago. She is now a member of my Bei Gong clan. Do we need to account to an outsider about how we choose to punish members of our clan?” Bei Gong Xiong tried to shove the false argument down their throats and strike first.
“My mother was plotted against by your Bei Gong clan to marry Bei Gong Ao. Also, Bei Gong Ao had long since cast off their marital affections, so she has long since stopped being part of your Bei Gong clan!” Bei Gong Clan retorted against Bei Gong Xiong.
“Hear that? My sister had long since stopped being a member of your Bei Gong clan. However your Bei Gong clan has continued to imprison her. Today, you must give me an explanation. Otherwise, my Yin Clan will never let you off!”
“Big Brother…” Yin Lan looked at Yin Hao and cried out emotionally.
“Do not be afraid. That old coot has gotten me to take you home. He will no longer leave you in the lurch.” Yin Hao said.
Yin Lan did not have much hatred towards the Yin Clan. After all, she was the one who had insisted on marrying Bei Gong Ao. At that time, her clansmen had told her that if she were to marry Bei Gong Xiong, her life or death would have nothing to do with the Yin Clan. She never thought even once that Yin Hao would represent the Yin clan to save her.
“Bei Gong, since they have already been rescued, we will take our leave.” Sima You Yue said.
“Okay.”
Their objective today was to take her away. They were initially afraid that they were not powerful enough, that was why they pulled in the Yin clan to improve their chances. Now that he had brought the entire force of the Yin clan, it was no longer difficult for them to leave the place.
“Mother, we will leave first for today. We will call them to account for everything later on!” Bei Gong Tang said.
“As long as you come back, we can slowly discuss the things of the future.” Yin LAn held on to her daughter’s arm.
She would not tell her to let things go, and even less say to forget about everything that had happened.
For all that they had done… she would definitely come to make them pay their debt!
The group came out from the Bei Gong clan and surrounded everyone, preventing them from leaving.
“Yin Lan is still someone from my Bei Gong clan. You are not allowed to take her away.” Bei Gong Ao said.
The Bei Gong clan had done too many horrible things to the pair of mother and son. If they let word of those things get out, the Bei Gong clan would lose their footing in Autumn Moon City.
As such, they definitely could not let them escape, even if it meant they had to fight with the Falcon King.
