The twelve-year-old girl watched as her father trembled on the dragon throne, writing the letter of surrender, while her mother held her in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
With the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, Chu Yihan took the letter of surrender and promised the man on the dragon throne that he would not kill the people of the Yue Kingdom, pledging to protect the last of his bloodline.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Ping saw his father crash into the pillar in the hall. Her mother rushed over, took out a sharp knife that she had hidden in her arms, and stabbed it at herself.
"Father, Mother!"
At that moment of Sheng Ping's crying out, a large hand covered her eyes.
