The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 144 Karma

The eyeballs within the man's petals twitched uneasily. This was followed by a loud cry from his side, “Your Majesty is aware! Your Majesty is aware!”

The next second, the man opened his eyes slowly, trying to adjust to the light that burst into view. A familiar face slowly appeared before him.

“Fenghong, can you hear me?” ask the man with a deep frown formed on his forehead.

“Daddy .. In-law,” Liang Fenghong said in response.

Huang Qinghao sighed in relief, revealing a smile. “Thank God, thank goodness!”

“Hong’er!” exclaimed another man next to Huang Qinghao. “How do you feel?” ask with a worried look.

Liang Fenghong's forehead wrinkled. “Dad?” the man called Liang Shupeng in a questioning tone.

The attacking dizzy made Liang Fenghong touch his forehead and hiss. Recalling the last thing that happened, he immediately turned his back.

“Where is Emperor?” liang Fenghong asked, his tone slightly snapping. “Where is my brother!?”

Fuck the punishment of fate, though,

Hearing Liang Fenghong's question, the expressions of the two men turned grim. This made Advisor Liang immediately jump down from his bed and run out.

“Hong’er, stop!” shouted Liang Shupeng in panic.

When he walked out of the room, Liang Fenghong's steps stopped abruptly due to the appearance of an unusual sight. A circle of fire adorned the central courtyard of the residence.

“After you have regained control of Wu, this circle of fire will reappear in the same place. When you pass through it, you will arrive at the gate of Jingcheng.” Lan’er's words flashed in Liang Fenghong's mind.

‘Kita ... successfully master Wu,’ Inner Liang Fenghong. However, he could not be happy.

Liang Fenghong threw away his face, not wanting to see the fire circle. Then, he continued running towards the building where Wu Huatai was supposed to be.

The soldier who saw his arrival instantly opened the door and lowered his head. Some were different from their views, such as pity.

Putting aside the inconvenience caused from the sight of those soldiers, Liang Fenghong ran through the room all the way to Wu Huatai's bedroom. “Kakak ...,” called him, making the figure of Wu Huatai who was lying weakly on the bed with Li Changsheng by his side avert.

“Hong’er,” reply Wu Huatai with a grateful feeble smile. “You survived.” His hands stretched out, trying to reach his brother. “The man did not lie.”

Liang Fenghong immediately approached Wu Huatai. “How are you doing?”

Liang Fenghong tried to check if any parts of his brother's body were injured. Only, Wu Huatai's face that was so pale made him know that his brother was not okay. Lu Si obviously won't take his brother's life by ‘humaniwi’.

Feeling useless, Liang Fenghong fell to his knees next to Wu Huatai's bed. “Sister, why are you so stupid?” tanyanya, convinced that the elder brother had agreed to Lu Si's terms. “What use am I to survive if you end up like this?!”

Li Changsheng who saw this closed his eyes, trying to hold back the tears gathered in his eyes. He also felt guilty for not being able to prevent this from happening. However, no matter how much regret he had, Li Changsheng knew he could do nothing.

“I'm a fool .. or are you a fool?” wu Huatai asked with a smile.

Wu Huatai clasped his sister's hand, still able to joke around even with his frail state. The man turned his gaze to the ceiling, then let out a tired sigh.

“Tianzhen is gone, so is Rongya,” Wu Huatai said with a bright look, imagining the faces of the two people he loved so much. “Not only that, Wu fell into the hands of the enemy under my power, resulting in so many people losing their lives due to my incompetence.”

“This is karma, Fenghong. A karma that I will never be able to avoid.”

‘Karma?’ Liang Fenghong was pensive, feeling familiar with the word. His head felt dizzy, like something was blocking his memory.

“On the other hand, if you die ..” Wu Huatai looked back at Liang Fenghong, “who will take Wang Chengliu down? Who will take care of the Liang family? Who will be responsible for the rest of Mingwei Junzhu's life?” The emperor continued, “If I die .. at least I can accompany my wife and sister.”

“Sister, what are you saying?!” shouted Liang Fenghong, not accepting that excuse.

“Changsheng,” Wu Huatai extended his free hand.

“Silver,” call Li Changsheng while holding Wu Huatai's hand.

“You .. are a member of the Wu Royal family, no matter whether the blood flowing in your body is Wu blood or not,” said Wu Huatai, looking at the two deeply. “So, I leave Meilan and the Kingdom of Wu to you.”

Tears rolled down Li Changsheng's face, feeling unworthy of being treated like this after what he had done. “Sister, how could you leave this obligation to—"

“Please promise me,” Wu Huatai cuts off Li Changsheng's speech. “Dragon him and Kingdom of Wu for me.” His gaze turned solemn and filled with determination, vividly drawn with the firm grip of his hand. “Until you find the right person .. take care of both for me, you understand?”

Li Changsheng and Liang Fenghong instantly understood Wu Huatai's words. The man knew that they did not want the throne, as did the life of the royal family. Thus, he could only ask the two of them to guard the Wu Kingdom for a while.

“Kakak .. apologize,” Wu Huatai told his two brothers, feeling very guilty. “Sister reneges ...,” the man's breath weakens, “.. promise.”

Wu Huatai had sworn an oath, vowing to give Liang Fenghong and Li Changsheng the freedom to choose the path of life they wanted. However, circumstances urged him to force his two younger siblings to make a choice.

She ... has reneged on her promise.

“Not ... don't apologize to me,” said Liang Fenghong in between tears. “I'm guilty of you!” he exclaimed, sensing that the hand in his grasp was becoming increasingly heavy. “I'm guilty!”

Wu Huatai's black bead ended up landing on Liang Fenghong, knowing that his younger brother would continue to feel guilty for what happened to him. This made him very unwilling to leave her.

However, life had to be paid for with life, and karma.

‘My time ... is over.’ Before Wu Huatai's consciousness completely disappeared, he implied to himself, ‘Tianzhen .. we will finally meet again ...’

When he no longer felt the power in Wu Huatai's grasp, Liang Fenghong called out, “Kakak ..?” His voice was shaking, feeling so scared.

However, there was no reply from Wu Huatai.

Liang Fenghong's eyes closed, trying to soak up the last remaining warmth on his brother's hands. “I'm guilty, I'm guilty of you ..”
