Zhou Ling ceased any further conversation with Parson and instead approached Liao Ning, enveloping her in his arms.
Lowering his head, he inquired softly, “Are you alright?”
Liao Ning shook her head, bewildered and curious about the unfolding situation.
“We’ll talk about it later,” Zhou Ling replied in a hushed tone.
He then exited the dungeon with the weakened Liao Ning. Parson attempted to intercept them, but the soldiers swiftly thwarted his efforts without mercy.
“What is happening? Liao Xi, you owe me an explanation! Don’t you understand the importance of the experiment at this moment?” Parson grew increasingly anxious. He had endured enough torment and was unwilling to relinquish his chance at returning to normalcy.
However, Liao Xi coldly stated, “I will handle this.” Without casting a backward glance, she departed the dungeon.
Once inside a secure room, Zhou Ling closed the door and conducted a scan of the surroundings using an Al. A sigh of relief escaped him upon confirming the absence of surveillance cameras.
Overwhelmed by the abrupt turn of events, Liao Ning couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer.
“This is so sudden. I have so many questions. How did you find this place? And why does everyone listen to you?
Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Zhou Ling proceeded to explain the entire situation to her.
Liao Ning was taken aback. She had never expected Earl Sam to be the king’s brother. The Sam Family must have been accumulating resources and recruiting soldiers for rebellion all these years.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the hidden mission: Secret of the Liao Family. Please check the mission rewards.]
[Liao Ning’s background: Liao Ning is the illegitimate daughter of the former head of the Liao Family, and her mother is the chief of the sea demons possessing purifying abilities.
She possesses the ability to transform into a sea demon or a white wolf. The two bloodlines are in conflict and require specific stimulation to transform into her human form.
Liao Ning, being of the pure lineage of the Liao Family, possessed a unique ability. Her blood could provide temporary recovery for those with defects. However, if she were to tap into the sea demon’s purification ability, she could grant complete recovery and access the family’s inherited power.
Overwhelmed by this revelation, Liao Ning couldn’t help but exclaim internally —what kind of intricate setting was this? Was she already so formidable?
No wonder she had been kept separate from the main family. It wasn’t solely due to her status as an illegitimate daughter; it was because she harbored the potential of two bloodlines.
However, despite learning about her background, Liao Ning couldn’t find happiness in it. Even if Zhou Ling could mobilize Count Sam’s army, both Liao Xi and her daughter would never allow her to go freely. Moreover, Liao Nai remained alone on Green Forest Planet, and she needed to bring him back as soon as possible.
Zhou Ling also unveiled his plan. “Count Sam’s army has been biding their time and maintaining their strength for years. They have spies within the imperial army. With the recent turmoil caused by the mermaid riot, the empire’s power has significantly diminished. Adding the rebel army, it won’t be a problem to topple the empire.”
“I will accompany you,” Liao Ning asserted. “Lili returned for my sake, and I must save her. Then we will journey to Green Forest Planet together and bring Liao Nai back home.”
Zhou Ling nodded. “I have already discussed this with Elder Brother. He will persuade Li Xian to join us in the assault on Planet Dynasty, allowing us to return home together.”
The prospect of finally returning home choked Liao Ning up. Mili must be feeling anxious as well.
The next morning, Zhou Ling issued the order for the army to attack Planet Dynasty. Many of Count Sam’s troops were former subordinates of the previous king. They had always believed in Sam as the rightful heir and were eager to assist him in reclaiming the throne.
However, Liao Xi voiced her objections. “l disagree! As the Countess, you must listen to me. Don’t take action now. The most crucial thing is to conserve your strength! You can’t allow so many lives to be sacrificed solely for Sam!”
Her words carried a sharp edge, yet her certainty wavered. The Sam Family’s army served as her final trump card. If she aimed to seize control of the Liao Family, without this army, she wouldn’t stand a chance against Liao Chen.
Sami, who had just discovered that Earl Sam was the king’s brother, found herself in a state of shock. If Earl Sam were to ascend the throne, she could become the queen as well.
Noticing Liao Xi’s gaze upon her, Sami spoke up. “If my father entrusted him with the badge, it means he’s in a dire situation. I believe we should prioritize his rescue.”
“Sami, do you even realize what you’re suggesting?” Liao Xi interjected, her voice resounding with authority.
Undeterred, Sami pressed on. “If we want to restore order, we must ensure my father’s survival. Without him, we’ll be left with three princes and the Princess of Dawn, and we won’t have any influence in the matter.”
For once, Zhou Ling found himself agreeing with Sami’s perspective.. Finally, he declared, “Tomorrow morning, we will launch an attack on Planet Empire!”
