The King of Hong was gazing at two different petitions on his desk. One was a renewed petition from the Li family, asking for temporary sole custody of Long Zhao Xue's only son, Long Yan. The previous petition was rejected on the spot because Long Zhao Feng managed to escape death. The current one was written in a very sensible manner. It started with a lengthy expression of gratitude for heaven's blessing and Long Zhao Feng's good luck to be able to return to the land of the living. The next passage spoke about worries that General Long was but a single man again after his marriage was annulled twice. Without a woman by his side and having to serve the Hong Kingdom in wars and missions alike, when would the poor general find time to properly raise Long Yan?
Why not let Long Yan live with his mother?
When Long Yan reached adulthood, he could return to the Long house.
