In Another World, Everyone Want to Kill Me!-Chapter 358: A Father’s Truth

Hua Fengyun let out a sigh.

As a citizen of Dongyue, he truly did not wish to see his country fall into such a state. But Yue Mingxuan’s brothers were indeed too disappointing and that was an undeniable fact.

"Your four brothers have all been acting lawlessly within Dongyue," Hua Fengyun said, his tone filled with sorrow.

The four brothers actually got along quite well with each other, unlike princes of other nations who were often suspicious and scheming against one another.

However, these four could only be described as working together in wrongdoing.

They showed almost no concern for the suffering of the common people.

Even though Dongyue could already be described as a land where the people struggled to survive, the four of them showed no sign of remorse.

The Emperor of Dongyue was no different.

After Yue Mingxuan’s death, he was deeply grief stricken, and as a result, he had neglected the discipline of his four sons.

When Yue Mingxuan heard this, he also let out a quiet sigh.

The Emperor of Dongyue who is battered by repeated blows was now gravely ill and likely did not have much time left.

At this news, Yue Mingxuan could not help but feel a stir of emotion.

He did not belong to this era, and in his previous life, he had never had parents of his own.

Now that he had finally gained a father, that father had been reduced to such a state because of him and his four brothers.

The thought weighed heavily on him and he felt a deep sense of sorrow.

"Dongyue has already fallen into such misery, yet no one rises in resistance?" Yue Mingxuan asked.

"Even if the people are suffering, Dongyue is still Dongyue," Hua Fengyun replied with a sigh as he looked at him. "The people here are simple and honest. They do not harbor too many grievances over such matters. Even if they complain, it does not amount to much."

Yue Mingxuan shook his head. "I never imagined that Dongyue would end up like this."

In his mind, he had always thought of the place where he was born as a quiet and peaceful place.

That was why the original Yue Mingxuan had such a carefree and straightforward personality.

He had never expected Dongyue to be like this.

"And no one has tried to stop any of this?" Yue Mingxuan felt a faint ache in his chest.

So much had happened in Dongyue, yet he had not known a single thing.

As for his two brothers, he could say he knew absolutely nothing about them.

He could not help but feel that he was not a qualified prince.

But then again, he had been sent to Beirong as a hostage prince of Dongyue.

Under such circumstances, it was perhaps understandable that he knew nothing of these affairs. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He had never grown up on this land of Dongyue, so he was naturally unfamiliar with its situation.

He had never once thought about what his brothers were like.

He had always lacked family and now that he finally had one, it all felt unbearably foreign.

He did not understand his brothers and he did not even understand his father.

He knew almost nothing.

"I understand now. Thank you," Yue Mingxuan said to Hua Fengyun before leaving.

Hua Fengyun watched Yue Mingxuan’s somewhat lost and dispirited figure, but said nothing.

That very night, Yue Mingxuan left the Hua Family of Dongyue and headed for the Dongyue imperial palace.

He wanted to know what kind of person his father truly was.

As for his brothers, he would deal with that when he had the time.

Deep down, he instinctively did not want to acknowledge such people as his brothers.

Perhaps it was a kind of psychological fastidiousness.

He wanted his family to be good people.

The imperial palace was heavily guarded, but Yue Mingxuan was no longer the same person he had once been.

His martial skills had improved greatly and in such an environment, he could move in and out freely.

"I didn’t expect the defenses of Dongyue’s palace to be this poor," Yue Mingxuan muttered as he looked at the map in his hand, letting out a sigh.

He had thought there would at least be some proper guards, yet the palace’s defenses were practically nonexistent.

"With security like this, anyone could walk into the palace," he said, unable to hide his disappointment at how lax the protection was.

With defenses this poor in the imperial palace, the state of other places could only be imagined.

Such negligence was not something a proper nation should have.

"Ming’er, is that you?"

As Yue Mingxuan wandered around, he suddenly heard a somewhat aged voice.

He instinctively turned his head and saw the face of a middle aged man.

The man’s features were deeply lined as if carved by a blade marked with heavy wrinkles.

Yue Mingxuan felt that this man should not be that old, yet he looked extremely aged.

Thinking of those disappointing brothers, Yue Mingxuan could not help but feel a pang of sorrow.

They were his brothers by name, yet they were nothing like him at all.

"Father Emperor, it’s me," Yue Mingxuan said while forcing a faint smile.

There was some resemblance between him and his father.

One could tell that in his younger years, the emperor must have been quite handsome.

"Since you have returned, I have nothing more to worry about."

"You knew I wasn’t dead?"

The emperor smiled. "You should know who your father is."

"At the Hua Family of Dongyue, I heard about our family’s situation. My four brothers..."

"They are not truly your brothers," the emperor said with a bitter smile. "After your mother gave birth to you, she passed away. I had no heart to remarry, but the nation could not be without princes. So I adopted several children from outside and raised them as princes."

Yue Mingxuan was completely stunned.

His father was truly a man deeply devoted to love.
