The woman shedding tears was none other than Consort Yang, the sister-in-law of Song Duanzong. The man who stopped the girl was her brother, Yang Liangjie. The child was naturally Song Duanzong's. In the original history, Zhao Gang would have died from the cold, but now with the variable of an elder sister, this child's life would surely be saved.
The girl was, of course, Hanno, who had crossed over into this world. In this life, she was reborn as a baby, becoming a princess of the Southern Song dynasty, the daughter of Lady Yang and the Princess of Jin. Faced with the destruction of her country and family, Hanno wished she could kill the emperor of Mongolia and personally lead an army to drive the Mongolian soldiers back beyond the borders. However, she felt the limitations imposed by this world that prevented her from recklessly altering history. Major events had to unfold as they did in history; only minor matters or those unrelated to history could she slightly change.
Holding the child in her arms, Hanno decided to leave. As long as she didn’t appear again, it could be said that Song Duanzong had died, thus ensuring the child's safety. After departing from the encampment of the Song army, Hanno found a cave to temporarily settle down in and used her Spiritual Energy to cleanse the child of any ailments within. The child's temperature began to drop, and Hanno finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, another problem arose: how would she care for this child? She couldn’t just run around with him all the time; she still needed to find her Elder Brother Li!
Fortunately, Hanno didn’t have to worry for long. She received news that Flowing Spring Villa, which was supposed to be destroyed in Slay the Dragon Vein, had not perished but had relocated overseas to a place called Hainan Island. Such a significant change confirmed her suspicion that Elder Brother Li must have crossed over with people from Flowing Spring Villa. Cradling the still-sleeping child, Hanno made her way toward the sea.
As for Elder Brother Li, he had crossed over as the Young Master of Flowing Spring Villa—the very child who would prevent an assassin from killing a baby. Eighteen years had passed; Elder Brother Li had formed his Golden Core and grown powerful enough to easily seize control of the villa from Old Master and began relocating it to Hainan Island. Many opposed this move due to their attachment to their homeland but were forcefully suppressed by Elder Brother Li. Once settled in Hainan Island, he brought Zhuo Yihang back to Flowing Spring Villa so that parents and child could reunite.
As Nan Fengning grew older, Old Master and Madam of the Manor realized that Nan Fengning was not their biological child. Now seeing their real child still alive brought tears streaming down their faces.
"My child, my child," Madam of the Manor cried as she held Zhuo Yihang tightly.
Zhuo Yihang awkwardly embraced Madam of the Manor, tears flowing from his eyes as well. Although he had been raised under the care of Elegant and her husband, having his biological parents was different. There were times when Zhuo Yihang envied Elegant's children for having their parents around.
Old Master calmed down somewhat thanks to Madam of the Manor’s emotional outburst; though he was also excited, he rationally asked his eldest son, "What is going on? Your brother—wasn't he killed by an assassin?"
"The assassin did not kill my brother," Elder Brother Li replied. "He feared Master Liu would silence him and worried about us from Flowing Spring Villa and Princess Anyang seeking revenge on him, so he abandoned his plan to kill the child."
"Master Liu?" Old Master exclaimed in surprise. "Why did he want to kill your brother?"
"Master Liu wasn't trying to kill my brother; he wanted to eliminate the child born by the princess. That child is not his," Elder Brother Li explained.
Old Master was momentarily stunned and wiped his face. "I think I can understand him."
Old Master then asked, "If the assassin abandoned his plan to kill him, why is your brother still missing?"
"Elder Brother Li said, 'I was the one who took my brother away. I was afraid that Master Liu would send assassins to harm the child. At that time, I thought he was a child of the Liu Family, so I took him out and handed him over to Elegant for raising. It wasn't until my brother grew up and I saw how much he resembled you, Father, that I confirmed he was indeed my brother.'
'I see,' Old Master nodded. 'Although your actions at that time were rather inappropriate, you saved your brother, which is commendable!'
Zhuo Yihang had just finished embracing and crying with Madam of the Manor and stood to the side. Upon hearing Old Master and Elder Brother Li's conversation, he immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, 'Thank you, big brother.'
Elder Brother Li smiled at Zhuo Yihang. 'You are my brother; there's no need for thanks.'
Madam of the Manor, with tears in her eyes but a smile on her lips, said, 'Yes, you are brothers; there's no need to be so formal. You three can chat slowly while I go cook something delicious to celebrate Yihang's return to our Zhuo Family.'
'Big brother, what about that young master from the Liu Family? Will my return affect him?' Zhuo Yihang asked Elder Brother Li.
'It won't. He has his own opportunities,' Elder Brother Li reassured Zhuo Yihang. After all, their relationship with the Liu Family was decent. When Elder Brother Li moved the manor, he had reminded Master Liu and Princess Anyang, but whether they listened was up to them. Nan Fengning had already left the Liu Family a year ago to venture out; at this moment, he was likely planning an assassination against the Mongolian Emperor.
'Host, there is a girl outside looking for you,' a servant reported as they entered.
A girl? Elder Brother Li's eyes lit up. Could it be Nono? He rushed toward the manor's entrance like a gust of wind. Old Master laughed heartily despite getting dust blown onto his face by the wind. 'It's rare to see your elder brother like this; the visitor might just become your sister-in-law!'
Elder Brother Li and Hanno finally reunited successfully. When Hanno's identity was revealed, it startled Old Master and the others, but they sincerely accepted Hanno's request to help take care of Zhao Gang, the emperor.
Zhuo Yihang thought: My big brother is amazing; he actually found a princess for a wife!
Old Master remarked: No wonder he's my son; he's capable.
Madam of the Manor added: Although she is a princess, she's quite easy to get along with. Indeed, my son has good taste.
Hanno and Elder Brother Li finally sat down together to share their experiences since arriving in this world."
"I never expected that child to be Song Duanzong!" Elder Brother Li exclaimed. "He is quite lucky to have you as his sister; he has avoided an early demise. Let him stay at Flowing Spring Villa; my mother loves children and will take good care of him."
Hanno nodded and asked, "By the way, have you seen the male lead? What does he look like?"
"Not bad," Elder Brother Li replied, not wanting to discuss other men right after meeting Hanno. He changed the subject, "You have a younger brother, right? Historically, he jumped into the sea to escape the Mongol Army at Yashan. Are you going to save him?"
Hanno nodded without hesitation. "Of course I will save him; he is my brother, and he is still so young."
Elder Brother Li said, "But the laws of this world do not allow for significant changes in history."
"I know," Hanno replied. "I have thought of a way to create an illusion around Yashan, making the Mongolians believe that my brother and the others are dead, and then take those people overseas."
Elder Brother Li asked, "To deceive everyone, this illusion won't be easy, and it needs to last a long time. Just the two of us might not be able to accomplish it."
Hanno said, "We can seek help from the cultivators of this world."
Elder Brother Li frowned. "Do you think they would help us?"
"After all, it's about saving a hundred thousand lives," Hanno replied. "Saving them would earn a lot of merit; I believe someone would be willing to assist."
Elder Brother Li nodded at this.
Madam of the Manor indeed treated Emperor Zhao Gang very well, as Elder Brother Li had mentioned. For the sake of the child, Hanno sealed away his past memories. Now he was just like any ordinary child—lively and adorable. Not only did Madam of the Manor like this child, but Old Master also grew fond of him. Eventually, with Hanno's consent, they took Zhao Gang as their disciple and began teaching him martial arts.
Elder Brother Li passed on the position of Host to his younger brother Zhuo Yihang and accompanied Hanno away from the villa. Both Old Master and Madam of the Manor were calm as they bid farewell to the two. However, when Elder Brother Li's figure disappeared from sight, Madam of the Manor shed tears.
"Mother, you must believe in my brother," Zhuo Yihang said as he supported Madam of the Manor's arm to comfort her. "He is so capable; he will definitely return safely."
"Stop crying," the Old Master said. "That boy is quite formidable; otherwise, he wouldn't have moved Flowing Spring Villa to the island to protect our entire estate. And that Princess of Jin is no ordinary person; the Yuan Army won't be able to do anything to them."
"Is that true?" Madam of the Manor asked, her eyes brimming with tears.
The Old Master nodded firmly. "If you don't believe me, how about believing your son?"
The protagonist of Slay the Dragon Vein, Nan Fengning, felt his entire worldview collapse after nineteen years. He never imagined that there were deities in this world. In a moment of desperation, he accidentally stumbled into the realm of immortals and was told that his opportunity had come, and he could also become an immortal! It was easy to imagine how excited and happy Nan Fengning was; if it weren't for his worries about his mother and his younger siblings, he would have almost burst into song.
"Junior Brother Nan, the Master wants you to go to Zaiyuan Hall; there are distinguished guests who wish to see you," a young boy who looked only seven or eight years old came to inform Nan Fengning. Nan Fengning's mouth twitched; how could he be called Junior Brother by a child just because he entered later and had a lower status?
Following the boy to Zaiyuan Hall, Nan Fengning saw not only his Master, Golden Core True Person Hansu Zhenren, and the Sect Leader Han Guang Zhen Ren but also two other individuals.
"Elder Brother?" Nan Fengning exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Is it really you? Elder Brother?"
Elder Brother Li smiled gently at Nan Fengning. "Fengning, it's me; you aren't mistaken."
Filled with joy, Nan Fengning rushed to Elder Brother Li's side. "Elder Brother, are you alright? That's wonderful! What about Father and Mother? Are they well?"
The terms "Father" and "Mother" referred naturally to the Old Master and Madam of the Manor at Flowing Spring Villa. Nan Fengning called Master Liu and Princess Anyang "Dad" and "Mom."
"They're doing well."
