"Then why did King Xin reveal everything to Sister-in-law?" Fang Bai asked.

"It was to sow discord." Madam Xin was the one who replied, "Fang Clan's influence was increasing at an unprecedented pace and was almost rivaling the Xin Royal Clan. My brother started to feel insecure about this, and thus used the most powerful weapon he had against my husband - the truth about Fang Chen."

"He personally told me about this. And having lived half of my life in the same palace as him, it didn't take long for me to see through his intentions. He wanted to use me to create a huge drama and would have most likely stripped my brother of his position as punishment for 'deceiving the world.'

So, I did the best thing a wife could do. I didn't bring it up unless my husband felt ready to talk about it. I continued to treat Fang Chen like my own son; in fact, I treated him with even more love and care because I felt guilty about him. He was already twelve years old, and if he got to know such things, he might take the wrong step.

I didn't wish to ruin my family." Madam Xin ended her confession, "It was my selfish desire to keep my family together."

Prime Minister Fang sighed.

Su Ming pursed her lips, "Sister-in-law, thank you for taking care of my son."

Madam Xin smiled, "Sister-in-law? I don't know if I desire any respect from you."

"No, I have always respected you," Sect Leader Su replied, "I would never blame you for anything that happened between Fang Yuan and me."

Fang Bai also nodded, "Yes, Sister-in-law. The reason why I never told you the truth is that I couldn't make myself too. I was afraid I would lose your love and care, and you would hate me for taking away Fang Chen."

Madam Xin shook her head, "You were overthinking, Sister-in-law. You're one of the people whom I hold very close in my heart. I will never stop caring and adoring you."

Fang Bai almost teared up at this, "Thank you so much, Sister-in-law."

Sect Leader Su cleared his throat, "Fang  Yuan, I have a few more things to ask."

"Ask away." Prime Minister Fang replied. Revealing the truth has actually lifted the biggest burden in his heart, and now he didn't care much about whatever Su Ming had to say. He would just speak truthfully.

"You said that you wanted to reconcile for a long time," Sect Leader Su asked, "Then why did you always create trouble for me? You have spread rumors about me being a sex fiend; you have also targeted some of my talented disciples over the last few years. You were against my alliance with the Crown Prince, and there was also an assassination attempt, though Jun Xie told me that King Xin orchestrated it.

Honestly, the only reason why I agreed to step into your clan was because of Jun Xie's words. After hearing the truth behind the assassination ambush, I felt something amiss."

Prime Minister Fang replied, "I am not the one who started the rumors regarding you. Most of them were started by King Xin himself. Last few years, he has been secretly targeting me, and now it has reached the point where I can't keep on ignoring his little schemes."

Sect Leader Su frowned, "Are you trying to blame everything on King Xin? Because you could have stopped him if you knew he was doing all this."

"I didn't know," Prime Minister Fang said, "I only came to know about this very recently. In fact, it's from your in-laws."

"My in-laws? You mean…"

"Yes." Prime Minister Fang nodded, "It's from the Gao Clan. Their young lady will marry your son."

"And who are you to decide that?" Sect Leader Su narrowed his eyes, "What was Fang Chen's opinion on this?"

"I am the one who he considers as his father." Prime Minister Fang replied with a deadpan expression, "And this marriage is important for not only Fang Chen, but also for the Fang Clan."

"You are using him as a pawn." Sect Leader Su narrowed his eyes.

Prime Minister Fang shook his head, "Not really. Maybe in the future, I will show you the reason why this marriage is important. Oh, actually, this marriage also had an indirect relation with your sect."

"My sect?" Sect Leader Su frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

"This marriage will one day save your sect," Prime Minister Fang said, "It's hard to explain, but I will show you in a few months. As for Fang Chen, he didn't like the idea of this marriage, but he will understand soon."

Sect Leader Su sighed, "You need to cancel this marriage."

"No." Prime Minister Fang rejected the proposal, "I am not going to listen to you on this matter. And my patience is also running out. This is how far I can talk about reconciliation. If you wish for both of us to rekindle our bond, you are always welcome."

Sect Leader Su took a light breath and stood up.

"Hm?" Prime Minister Fang frowned, "What happened?"

"I will think about it." Sect Leader Su said, "For now, I will have to take my leave."

"You're leaving?" Madam Fang Bai was surprised, "Why?"

Even Prime Minister Fang was taken aback by Sect Leader Su's sudden words, "What happened? Why don't you eat something? And you haven't even met Fang Chen?"

"It's alright." Sect Leader Su replied, "I wasn't planning to stay for long. I need to resume my journey."

"Where are you heading?" Prime Minister Fang couldn't help but ask, "Are you preparing for the Grand Spirit Hunt?"

"My sect will handle that," Sect Leader Su said, "I have something more urgent to attend."

Prime Minister Fang shrugged, "I don't know if you have heard or not, but this time the Wu Kingdom will also be participating in the Grand Spirit Hunt."

"Oh?" Sect Leader Su frowned, "Looks like things are going to be messy in the coming months."

"Yes." Prime Minister Fang nodded, "This is why you should not leave your sect for too long. King Xin is planning to strike big and hard."

"Don't worry about that," Sect Leader Su smiled, "I have everything covered."

"Oh, and what about Fang Chen?" Prime Minister Fang asked, "Why don't you wait for some time…."

"No need," Sect Leader Su shook his head, "You don't need to tell anything to Fang Chen."

"What!?" The other three were taken aback.

"You heard it right," Sect Leader Su smiled, "Fang Chen… should remain as the son of Fang Yuan and Madam Xin. He should continue as the First Young Master of the Fang Clan."

"What?" Prime Minister Fang stood up with a frown, "What's up with this abrupt decision? What do you want?"

"It's nothing serious." Sect Leader Su shook his head, "We will discuss this when I come back."

As Sect Leader Su said this, he also sent a spirit message to Prime Minister Fang Yaun.

<<Well, I will be honest. I am heading to the Middle Heavens, and I... don't know if I will be able to return safely. I just wanted to see your resolve. I am satisfied with what you have said. I can about my wife more than the enmity between you and me. If we tell Fang Chen the truth, and I don't come back, we will only be making his life worse.. So, please take care of my son for some more time.>>
