Finally, it was high time Xinghe and Yuning knew the truth about the North Guardian Lord. That guy's depiction has gone from "major villain" to "one of the few honorable lords left in the country" throughout the series.
Yunings reaction to the news...
*ninja cutting onions*
so the emperor send an army to "do the work" but i failed
after that he sent a group of few specialist to capture the northern lord and the kid.
up until now we had the info that he wants both of them dead.
but why going to so much lengths to kidnap both?
