Chapter 335 He is a Good Father, I Have No Regrets!
From the attire of Ning Weiwei and the six individuals she brought with her, it was clear they were from the Western Region, specifically the people of Tianluo Kingdom in the southwest of Xuanyuan Nation. However, no one understood why Ning Weiwei was involved with people from Tianluo Kingdom.
Although there were no historical enmities between Xuanyuan Nation and Tianluo Kingdom in the southwest, their relationship couldn't be described as particularly friendly either. Tianluo Kingdom wasn't very large and its cultivation practices were rooted in the Buddhist Sect's secret techniques, always looking up to Brahma Kingdom to the south.
And the southern Brahma Kingdom, proclaiming itself an ancient country, often clashed with Xuanyuan Nation, even experiencing frequent frictions at the southern borders. Thus, Xuanyuan Nation wasn't very welcoming towards people from Luo Heavenly Kingdom.
It was only due to Ning Weiwei's special circumstances that the people present did not confront the six unexpected Luo Heavenly Kingdom intruders.
Ye Feng spoke coldly, "Ning Weiwei, out of respect for your father, I won't make a big issue out of this. If you're here today to wish Qingyan well, I welcome you, but if you're here to cause trouble, don't blame me for not being polite!"
"Not polite? What a joke!" Ning Weiwei stood with her sword, her voice heavy with a cold laugh. "Who in the Imperial Capital of Xuanyuan Nation doesn't know that Northern Cloud Residence was the dwelling left by my father? I am the rightful owner of Northern Cloud Residence. All of you are outsiders!"
With that said, Ning Weiwei turned to look at the several Grand Sect Leaders of Utility Pavilion seated in the place of honor, uttering word by word, "You elders have been around for a long time. Come and judge for yourselves if Northern Cloud Residence belongs to me, Ning Weiwei!"
Grand Sect Leader Zhao Gongming did not speak, observing the proverbial nose before him, nose before heart, with an air of detachment as if the matter didn't concern him. The other Sect Leaders also turned a deaf ear; to them, this was someone else's family affair, which they were too lazy to meddle with.
Second Sect Leader Shi Yehong said, "Northern Cloud Residence, indeed, was your father's residence while he was alive, but..."
"There are no 'buts'!" Ning Weiwei suddenly interrupted with a stern voice, looking as though she would not allow anyone to reason with her, and shouted, "Even you, the Second Sect Leader of Utility Pavilion, have admitted it. What more is there to discuss!"
Without waiting, Ning Weiwei turned to face Ye Feng, enunciating each word, "Northern Cloud Residence was my father's, and with my father gone, it should now belong to me. I am the master here, and now, you are not welcome here!"
Ye Feng stood still, his expression growing completely somber. It was apparent that Ning Weiwei had come today with the intention to make trouble.
Ning Weiwei knitted her brows and gritted her teeth, "What's the matter, Ye Feng, can't you understand what people are saying? Northern Cloud Residence does not welcome you. Get out of here immediately with all your people—get out!"
It was obvious that this time Ning Weiwei had brought six Divine Path Realm powerhouses, and seemed to have a lot more confidence than before when she only brought a few useless Outer Sect disciples from Utility Pavilion.
This time, she had undoubtedly come prepared, with no less than six Divine Path Realm powerhouses backing her, and considering she herself was also a powerhouse of the Divine Path Realm, she naturally felt fearless.
Despite there being over two hundred people in the hall, not one spoke out. Some even showed schadenfreude on their faces, as they weren't particularly close to Northern King Ye Feng, and, at this moment, they were eager for this rising star of a Northern King to make a fool of himself.
Ye Feng's expression didn't change. He took a few steps forward and stated word by word, "You say Northern Cloud Residence is yours? I truly don't understand how you have the gall to say such a thing!"
"You..." Ning Weiwei was immediately enraged.
"It's true that Northern Cloud Residence belonged to the Old Northern King, but it surely does not belong to you!"
Without letting her respond, Ye Feng spoke loudly and directly interrupted her, "First, although you are born of the Old Northern King, you do not deserve to be his daughter. When the Old Northern King died, you didn't even go to see him one last time. Over the years, you haven't even visited his grave to burn a single incense stick. Do you think you deserve to be his daughter?"
"Second, Northern Cloud Residence is an official residence. Do you understand what an official residence is? An official residence is the Northern King's palace in the Imperial Capital. When the Old Northern King was alive, Northern Cloud Residence was indeed his. Now that I am the Northern King, it naturally belongs to me.
Ye Feng said and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. But things had come to this point, and he had no choice but to bring it out. At that moment, he waved his Great Hand, and Xiao Chuanqi immediately turned and walked into the Inner Courtyard. Shortly after, he walked out and presented a Brocade Box.
"You should recognize this Brocade Box, shouldn't you?" Ye Feng asked.
Ning Weiwei didn't speak. This was the Brocade Box her mother had treasured during her lifetime, and it was also the token of love her father had given to her mother. It was the most precious thing in her mother's life.
"When the Old Northern King passed away, he gave this Brocade Box to me. He instructed me that unless it was absolutely necessary, I was not to give the Brocade Box to you. But now, I think it is probably time," Ye Feng said with a hint of pain, regret, and also self-reproach.
After all, when the Old Northern King died, he had asked him to watch over Ning Weiwei, and he had agreed. But he had failed to do so.
Ning Weiwei's whole body was trembling as she reached out with shaky hands to receive the Brocade Box and opened it. Inside the box was only a handkerchief with two lines written on it.
"He was a good father!"
"I have no regrets!"
It was just these two brief lines. Looking at them hit Ning Weiwei like a thunderbolt, and tears began to stream down her face.

All along, she had resented her father. From childhood, that so-called father had always prioritized state affairs, and he hadn't even seen mother and daughter for several years, especially that time they were kidnapped...
But now, she realized she had been wrong, terribly wrong!
The handwriting on the handkerchief was indeed her mother's, and it had been written in blood. She understood the meaning behind her mother's final words.
"Ah..." Ning Weiwei suddenly screamed, and the Qi Force within her body began to rampage uncontrollably.
"Not good! Her state of mind is disturbed; she's deviating!" several Sect Leaders exclaimed in alarm.
But at that moment, Ye Feng had already made his move, swooping over and swiftly pressing several acupoints on Ning Weiwei's body. She then fell into unconsciousness.
"How dare you! She is the Holy Maiden of the Tianluo Kingdom. What have you done to her?" Six Divine Path Realm experts of the Tianluo Kingdom roared in anger.
Ye Feng suddenly turned his head and looked at the six men coldly, saying word by word, "Today is a day for my lady's apprenticeship ceremony, and I do not wish to commit a massacre. Leave!"
The six Divine Path Realm experts of the Tianluo Kingdom coldly said, "So you are the Northern Border King of Xuanyuan Nation? You have quite the nerve, but we can leave if you just hand over the Holy Maiden!"
"Presumptuous!" Zhang Wenyuan stood up abruptly.
"Kill!" Ye Feng ordered directly.
