Chapter 571: Episode 290: Suo Lun’s Decisive Battle with Liren! (Important, Must-See)

Note: In the previous Chapters, Suo Lun greatly demonstrated his divine might, helping Liren turn the tide. The plot is very important, so don’t miss out!

...

The whole place was as silent as death.

When Ashi Liren beheaded A Shi Zhuo, Suo Lun’s gaze immediately turned to Lady Li Zhi.

He saw her body suddenly shake, she was stunned for a moment, and then she exhaled a long breath.

Her gaze was complex, not quite sorrowful, not exactly relaxed, but rather incessantly lonely.

Suo Lun lowered his gaze as a thought flashed by.

Should he kill this Lady Li Zhi in the future? Because with her around, there was always someone pressing down on Ashi Liren.

But this notion was only fleeting, as after all, Lady Li Zhi had not committed any true evil deeds and didn’t deserve death; she was just a smart but indecisive woman.

After the death of A Shi Zhuo, the Ashi Clan basically had no one else capable of challenging Ashi Liren’s position.

The crowd remained stunned for a good while.

Then, starting with Neishi Minzhuo, all the civil officials bowed down uniformly, saying, "We greet the City Lord."

Just a few seconds later, the high-ranking generals also bowed down neatly, saying, "We greet the City Lord."

Finally, all the high-ranking samurai lords knelt down, saying, "We greet the Domain Lord."

After the death of A Shi Zhuo, there was no longer anyone who could openly oppose Ashi Liren. And once Lady Li Zhi and Ashi Liren joined forces, there was no one in the Rouran City Domain who could confront Ashi Liren head-on.

Because she was skilled in martial arts, she knew how to kill, and she had the right to kill.

At this moment, Lady Li Zhi suddenly said, "Liren, move into the City Lord’s Mansion today. It’s too lonely for me to live there alone."

"Yes," replied Ashi Liren.

...

In the afternoon, Ashi Liren, accompanied by more than a hundred female samurai, took charge of the City Lord’s Mansion, with Suo Lun following!

In Lady Li Zhi’s courtyard.

All of A Shi Zhuo’s spies in the City Lord’s Mansion had been removed.

Suo Lun did not stand on ceremony at all and immediately replaced Lady Li Zhi’s servants with Ashi Liren’s female samurai.

Lady Li Zhi was dressed splendidly, looking several years younger than the night before and retaining a sense of charm.

She tenderly embraced Ashi Yuanba, her gaze somewhat affectionate.

This kid was too cunning, with a sweet mouth and an ability to act innocent, making Lady Li Zhi utterly delighted.

Unlike Ashinan, who was strong-willed and righteous, she showed her dislike for Lady Li Zhi right on her face. After an awkward few minutes of interaction, Suo Lun had someone take Anan away. Leaving Yuanba to nearly flirt and act cute, keeping Lady Li Zhi laughing continuously.

Suo Lun knew that to a great extent, Lady Li Zhi treated Yuanba as a substitute for her own son.

Of course, it couldn’t be said entirely like that, since Yuanba was, after all, her biological grandson, the only son of Ashi Luo.

After holding her grandson Yuanba affectionately for a while, Lady Li Zhi turned her gaze to Suo Lun.

"Yuanba, wait for me outside," Suo Lun said.

Yuanba stood up, obediently saying, "Grandmother, I will have dinner with you tonight."

"Good, my dear grandson," Lady Li Zhi said, kissing his little face.

With Yuanba gone, only Suo Lun and Lady Li Zhi were left in the room.

...

"Are you Suo Lun?" Lady Li Zhi said.

"Yes, my Lady," Suo Lun replied.

Lady Li Zhi asked, "You and Liren, do you really have a relationship?"

She asked very directly.

"No," Suo Lun said bluntly. "We are innocent. Because of this rumor, she has restrained herself from killing me more than a dozen times."

Lady Li Zhi couldn’t help but laugh, knowing Liren’s character best. She did not believe there would be any affair between Liren and Suo Lun.

However, upon seeing Suo Lun’s handsome face, she couldn’t help but wonder.

"Where have you taken Xiaobao?" asked Lady Li Zhi.

Suo Lun did not respond.

"Then, will I be able to see him again? Can you return him to me?" Lady Li Zhi said.

"From now on, Niya is his mother. I won’t let him see you until he grows up and understands things," Suo Lun said.

"Grow up and understand things, that will take ten years," Lady Li Zhi sighed. "Ten years, I can wait."

Then she added, "It’s better this way. After all, his heritage is not honorable, and he would feel ashamed if he knew. Besides, compared to me, Niya is a better mother. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have asked her to take care of Xiaobao."

Lady Li Zhi was of advanced age, and once she started talking, she tended to go on, not minding that her relationship with Suo Lun was distant and going into deep conversation.

Suddenly, she raised her head and said, "Actually, you threatened me with Xiaobao yesterday, but even if I hadn’t agreed, you wouldn’t have done anything to him. I had that much discernment."

Suo Lun remained silent.

Lady Li Zhi said, "Actually, I want to thank you for freeing me from that shameful relationship."

...

"Teacher, where are we going?" Yuanba asked.

"To meet someone," Suo Lun said.

Yuanba’s face turned pale, and then he stopped in his tracks, saying, "Teacher, is it alright if we don’t go to see her?"

Such an extremely clever child, he knew that Suo Lun was planning to take him to meet his biological mother, Taosu.

In his heart, he only loved his mother Ashi Liren, and he had even acted a bit for his grandmother, Lady Li Zhi.

But as for his biological mother Taosu, he found it difficult to feign affection. He couldn’t be overly affectionate, as he felt it would betray his mother’s love to give away even a bit of it to someone else.
