Chapter 119 Your son is right in front of you
No matter how hard those people tried to escape, they were still bound by a pile of water plants and dragged back.
Then they were neatly lifted into the water.
During this time, those people tried to resist, screaming and threatening with the Prince's Mansion, but all to no avail.
The Ghost King had been single for four or five hundred years. When he found out he had a child, he was incredibly excited and couldn't wait to rush out and find the child.
However, he didn't even know who they were, and he hadn't recovered that memory at all. So he could only arrange those people neatly, then return to the water, and look on with his bright eyes.
Seeing this, even Lan Yue was incredibly curious: why was the Ghost King's child related to the Lin Prince's Mansion?
"Where is my child?" The Ghost King, not hearing the inner voice any longer, secretly bared his claws at the other person.
A group of people nearly fainted. They had never encountered someone who would turn the tables on them before. If they had known that this ghost king was so shameless, they would have brought more people with them no matter what!
Lan Yue over here has already started secretly watching the drama unfold.
[Lan Yue: The Ghost King lost his son, and that group of people came looking for the child again. Doesn't that mean the Ghost King's son is among these people?]
Lan Yue's heartfelt words stunned even the enraged Ghost King.
Jiang Xia quickly withdrew his claws and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.
[Lan Yue: Wow, this is quite a show! I really should come out and watch more. The Ghost King's son is actually the youngest boy standing next to him!]
At this moment, the group from the Lin Prince's Mansion finally found their heir.
Everyone exclaimed with delight to the boy in the corner, "Young Master, we've finally found you!"
"Son!" The Ghost King rushed over in delight.
The group of people stared blankly as the Ghost King rushed over and hugged their prince tightly; they were all dumbfounded.
So they really did hide the Ghost King's son?
No, no, no, how could they have hidden someone? This is the heir of the Prince's mansion!
I almost managed to get past this group.
So, whose child is the crown prince? Surely the demon king couldn't have mistaken him for someone else?
Can even a ghost king mistake his son?
Everyone's eyes darted around, because they had already thought of a possibility, a possibility of green light.
[Lan Yue: Finally, this moment has arrived! The Ghost King has finally realized that his son is right beside him. What a joyous occasion!]
[However, those people from the Lin Prince's Mansion are useless. It took them months to find this place. It seems their young master isn't doing well in the manor either.]
As soon as Lan Yue finished speaking, the Ghost King glared angrily at the group of people.
The black resentment in his eyes had almost solidified, and a cold glint even flashed on his long claws.
The group of people from the Lin Prince's Mansion trembled with fear, wishing they could faint.
Even if the young prince is not doing well in the Prince's mansion, it's not their fault, it's the group of people inside the Lin Prince's mansion!
They're only responsible for going out and fighting, not for handling disputes!
"Young Master, come out and say something! We are people sent by the Lin Prince's Mansion. The Prince will come to rescue you in person!" someone explained loudly.
His explanation only made things worse; the boy immediately shrank behind the Ghost King, looking terrified.
The thought instantly snapped in the minds of everyone in the Lin Prince's Mansion, and they kept repeating it to themselves!
Oh no! Can they even hold out until the prince arrives with his men?
Judging from the prince's nonchalant attitude, it's probably very risky!
The reason these people came was because the princess had obtained a warrant, and the prince had not appeared from beginning to end.
"You deserve to die!" The Ghost King was both angry and anxious, wishing he could tear all of them apart.
Fortunately, the boy behind him grabbed him.
The Ghost King's terrible expression instantly changed, and he was so happy he was practically bubbling with joy.
However, the happy expression on the Ghost King's face did not last long, and another group of people appeared in the water.
Among this group was an elderly cultivator whose strength was immeasurable.
Behind them was a young and beautiful woman, her eyes red from crying, anxiously looking this way.
When she saw the Ghost King, she froze, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
Just as the elderly couple who had caught up were about to reach out and capture the Ghost King, a voice suddenly rang out.
[Lan Yue: Oh dear, the main characters have finally arrived! This is getting lively. Let them fight it out; I need to check what's going on here.]
The old man stopped what he was doing and looked around warily. He couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations in the voice.
[Lan Yue: I see. So that orphan girl became depressed after the Ghost King left without a word, spending her days painting at home. Later, she even became a famous painter in the capital because of a painting of a moonlit night by the river, and was invited by the emperor to paint for her.]
[Speaking of this painting of a moonlit night by the river, it depicts the scene where she encountered the Ghost King. Regardless, she has achieved tremendous success; she is incredibly beautiful, even being named one of the Four Beauties of the capital.]
[Unfortunately, she caught the eye of a prince from the Lin family, who, disregarding her pregnancy, insisted on forcibly marrying her, even going so far as to persuade the old emperor to grant him the marriage.]
The old emperor thought, "Wouldn't it be a wonderful match between a beautiful woman and a talented man?" So he waved his hand and agreed to the marriage, and from then on, the matter was set in stone.
One voice after another came over, and the old man who had just arrived looked grim.
He was well aware of what his son had done, and had even given him a severe scolding.
But there was nothing he could do; that was still his son, and no matter how rebellious the other party was, he was still his only direct bloodline.
So not long after he came out of seclusion, his daughter-in-law came to his door saying that his grandson was in danger, so he rushed over.
No wonder everyone else in the Lin Prince's Mansion has been captured. This place is so strange. Not only is there a Ghost King, but there is also this strange voice.
But so what if he's a Ghost King? Even though he's already shown his claws, he can still easily see through his opponent's weakness.
He's a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet he can't even handle a wounded Ghost King?
The old man slowly raised his hand: "Enough! Hand over my grandson, and I'll spare your life!"
He knew, of course, that this grandson might not be his son's bloodline, but it didn't matter. After all, he didn't only have this one grandson; there were so many grandsons waiting for him in the backyard of the Lin Prince's Mansion.
This is no longer a matter of whether or not someone is a grandson or not; it's a matter of the Lin Prince's Mansion's reputation.
The Ghost King instantly shielded his son behind him, glaring angrily at the old man.
He didn't act immediately because he could already sense the terrifying aura emanating from the old man.
[Lan Yue: Sigh, the poor little guy, always taking the blame for Prince Lin. That Prince Lin is so petty. Even though he forced his way into marriage, he later found a new lover and always felt the princess was being unfairly treated. So he and his new lover schemed to bully that mother and child.]
[So this is how absurd things are. Even if there's an extra mouse in their bowl, and they're thousands of meters apart, Prince Lin will still accuse the Crown Prince of wrongdoing and find an opportunity to whip him. He can always find a reason for anything.]
Lan Yue secretly glanced at the boy behind the Ghost King and, sure enough, noticed that there were still scars on the back of the boy's hand.
The boy had a scar on his forehead that looked like a cut from a sharp weapon, resembling a ferocious centipede coiled on it.
The boy didn't feel anything, but the ghost king in front of him was struck by lightning.
The Ghost King carefully stroked the boy's wounds, and then gently touched the scar on his forehead.
An overwhelming aura of rage surged around them, and their pure black eyes turned blood red, almost dripping blood.
Originally, his aura wasn't particularly strong, but his anger reached an unprecedented level, causing the old man opposite him to feel a momentary tremor.
"Alas, those injuries were indeed due to my negligence in supervising him and my failure to properly educate him. I will certainly teach him a lesson, but the heir of the Lin Prince's Mansion must be returned." The old man remained unyielding.
How could he let that happen? On the surface, the boy was at least the heir of the Lin Prince's Mansion.
The heir of the Lin Prince's Mansion was captured by a male ghost and raised as his son. If word got out, the whole world would laugh at him.
He's too old to suffer this pain or bear this humiliation.
So, then there's only one option...
The old man acted swiftly and snatched the boy back from the other side in an instant.
The boy was stunned after he realized what had happened.
No matter how he resisted, it was all in vain.
