“What do you know? When you saw people of your family got beheaded one by one, and the kid who got his flesh sliced off piece by piece, and the man you took as your whole world looked at all that indifferently holding someone else in his arms, while I myself was only alive in a whole piece, can you feel that kind of pain? No, you can't! Because you are the superior Prince Sheng! Even the emperor could do nothing with you, and he even feared of you. So you would never be able to feel my pains and helplessness, never…
Yan Shengrui's words were like the blasting fuse. Chu Ci who had always stayed poised and cold there instantly got broken down, tears dripping down his face, his delicate and pretty face stained with undisguised resentment, pains and anger. It had been three years. Till now, he often woke up at midnight from the nightmare, and then could no longer fall asleep again, only afraid that scene would reappear. If so, he'd rather end his own life first than see that bloody and cruel scene again.
Obviously he didn't expect that his pacification ,turned into the crime culprit that pushed him at the edge of breaking down, sword-shape brow furrowed, feeling indescribably irritable in the heart. After quite a while, he forced out the following words, “It's not that I can't feel your fear and pain. I know, facing a powerful opponent, only fear and trying to avoid it would only push yourself in a dead corner. Only facing it, you'd have the chance to win stead of losing again. Chu Ci, I didn't regain my memories, I just remembered some fragments of my memories. If I guessed right, you should be partly afraid that if I regained my memories, right? What I am trying to say is, is that thing really so important? Someone Jingxuan respects is someone who deserves my respect, besides, my sons like you. As long as you don't harm them, I wouldn't touch a finger of yours. When necessary, we might even lend you a hand for the sake you teach Xiaowen and Xiaowu so well. This promise, whether I could regain my memories, I will always keep it.”
Yan Shengrui was like giving him a life-saving trump card. Chu Ci who was still immersed in his breakdown forgot to feel sad in an instant, only staring at him like a fool. After quite a while, he swept off his tears and looked into his bright and sharp tiger eyes, “It's impossible, Shengrui. When you regain your memories and remember who we are, whether you are willing or not, you must send us back. I dare not have excessive requests. I only hope that one day when we are in some life-threatening danger, you can keep my son alive for sake that I am the tutor of Xiaowen and other kids. It's OK even if he becomes a peddlers or what, it's OK, as long as he is alive.”
With Yan Shengrui's power, he was more than capable to keep Yan'er alive. That that was all he asked for. As for other things, none was important. To him, death might be the real relief.
“OK, I promise you.”
Deeply staring at him for quite a while, Yan Shengrui gave him a confirmative answer. Chu Ci, who was standing with his back against him, cried again, mumbling the words 'thank you'.
“Come here. You go to the field one by one. Tie the lower of your robes up around your waist. Don't get wet.”
On the other side, Ling Jingxuan who had walked to the outmost part of the land rolled up his pants and stepped into the field, and then led the kids into the field holding their hands one by one. Ling Wen, Ling Wu and Tiewa were good, even if they had never eaten the pork, they should have seen a pig running, besides, they all grew up in the countryside, as they stepped into the mud, instead of feeling afraid, they all looked quite excited, let alone their footboys. Only Chu Yan, after hesitating for a bit, he tentatively stepped in, after making sure there was no any discomfort, he revealed a shy smile.
“Hehe…Come on. Here are the seedlings. Keep a distance of 15 to 25 millimeters between each seedling. You know, insert it inside the hole. Remember, don't get it tilted. And make sure you press the roots into the mud. Later, we'll have a competition. See who does it faster.”
After picking up the seedlings and carefully telling them the requirements, Ling Jingxuan, smiling, tried to improve their interest through the way of competition. Although the children were still young, he did not oppose them doing some labor work. There are some things they can not learn from books, proper work is only good for them.
“OK. I will be the fastest! Elder brothers, see how I beat you all.”
Holding a pinch of seedlings, the small bun excitedly announced the declaration, and Ling Wen who had always spoiled him retorted, “I don't think so. Xiaowu, you are too impatient. You will never be faster than brother Yan and me.”
“No, no, no, Xiaowen, Xiaowu, you will lose to me and Dashan, wait and see.”
Totally unlike his usual soft side, Tiewa also refused to show white feather, holding Long Dashan.
“Hum, I hate you, including Tiewa. I have been good to you all for nothing. Let's wait and see. I will definitely be the fastest one!”

“Howl~”
“Go back!”
As he was about to keep up with the kids, the cubs standing on the raised path in the field rushed down to them. Ling Jingxuan turned to throw them a hard stare and the two cubs could only freeze their claws that were about to step into the field, green eyes looking up at him with pity, like saying 'we also want to hang out there'.
“You can't come down, or your fur will be covered with mud and not easy to wash. Just stay here and wait. After we finish the work and go home, Daddy Ling will give you the delicious dried meat slices, OK?”
No one could harden his heart when they looked at him like that. Ling Jingxuan had no choice but to walk back and wash his hands with the water in the field. After rubbing his hands on his clothes to dry them, he reached out and touched them respectively.
“Howl…”
The two cubs howled deeply, like they were still trying to argue back, Ling Jingxuan wore a darkened face, “Be good, otherwise, from today on, you'd have no food and water.”
“Howl…”
Under his threat, the two cubs had to leave the field with a sobbing sound. Looking at their pitiful look, one would think Ling Jingxuan bullied them or what.
