I alone am the Honoured One!

725  A crash? [1]

For a long moment, none of them spoke as they simply held him.

Shi Yixian's hug was the tightest as her fingers dug into his back.

Fei Lingxi's cool hands traced the fresh scars on his chest.

"You…" Xia Shenyi muttered as her fingers tightened on his waist.

She tilted her head up adn Zhao Tian saw her eyes red-rimmed and filled with the weight of sleepless nights. "Do you have any idea… how worried we were?"

Zhao Tian let out a slow exhale as he looked at them one by one.

"I know," His hand gently cupped Xia Shenyi's face as his thumb brushed away the tears that threatened to fall. "I'm sorry."

Shi Yixian suddenly buried her face into his chest and her shoulders shook as she clenched onto him. "My Liege...."

Fei Lingxi let out a soft sigh, but her grip on him didn't loosen. "We thought we lost you."

Zhao Tian's heart clenched in pain seeing them like this.

He hated the idea of them suffering because of him.

Then, without warning, his body wavered.

A sharp pain lanced through his chest, and his knees nearly buckled beneath him.

His vision blurred for a second, and suddenly, the warmth of their bodies became the only thing keeping him upright.

"Tian!" Xia Shenyi gasped, immediately tightening her grip around him.

Shi Yixian's eyes widened, and she quickly supported his other side "You're still too weak. You should be resting."

Zhao Tian shook his head slightly "I have had enough rest."

"Rest my ass!" Fei Ziyu scolded despite the worry in her gaze.

"You're barely standing."

Fei Lingxi sighed, shaking her head. "Enough. Let's take him inside."

Without giving him a choice, the women gathered around him, gently guiding him toward the mansion.

Zhao Tian didn't resist and allowed himself to be led, knowing that at this moment.

As they walked through the grand doors of the mansion, he let out a sigh of relief.

Carefully taking him in, they placed him down on the couch.

They didn't move away from him and surrounded him, looking at the scars on his body.

They all wanted to ask what happened but they know that Zhao Tian is not in the state to speak about that right now.

Xia Shenyi leaned forward and kissed his cheek "Now, lay here and rest for a while..."

With a shake of his head, he spoke in a hoarse voice "No... I want all of my wives here right now."

After Yao Jing's death, he is scared of losing anyone, so first he wants to confirm that everyone is here, in front of his eyes.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, and seeing their hesitation, Zhao Tian's body shuddered in fear.

"What happened, Jia? Where is Jia?"

Seeing his nervousness, Xia Shenyi was startled and placed her hands over his shoulder "Tian.. calm down. Don't panic..."

Her gaze squinted in thought 'Something has definitely happened...'

Forcing a smile, she spoke "Jia and Velnorah are perfectly alright but they are not here right now."

A relief washed over Zhao Tian's heart and he closed his eyes for a moment before regaining his thoughts "Seems like Velnorah also has been here..."

"Where are they right now? I want them here right now."

Xia Shenyi gently caressed his shoulder "Tian, calm down. They are uh... they have gone to Zhou Hanyue's wedding."

What?

Zhao Tian was totally confused to hear this and uttered "Did they think that I am dead and she is remarrying now?"

With a shake of her head, Xia Shenyi hurriedly spoke "No Tian, it is quite complicated."

She quickly filled him with the details of what happened in the Jade Eclipse Empire and the coup.

"Zhou Shan?"

Zhao Tian's gaze narrowed and Xia Shenyi gave a nod "Yes… that bastard forced Hanyue into this marriage. Jia and Velnorah have gone to stop it. They plan to kidnap her from the wedding."

Suddenly he stood up and a jolt of pain twisted under his gut but he gritted his teeth "I will go and... stop the wedding."

Huh? Xia Shenyi and the others were dumbfounded to hear this.

Fei Lingxi leaned forward and hugged him "Husband, you are very weak right now... you need rest. Velnorah and Jia will take care of that."

"Yes, My Liege..."

08:16

However, Zhao Tian was reluctant "I can't take risks. I will be back.."

*swoosh* With that, he disappeared from there.

"Husband?"

Xia Shenyi lowered her gaze as she remembered the fear in Zhao Tian's eyes 'What happened?'

Taking a trembling breath, Fei Ziyu sat on the couch as she closed her face with her palms "D-Did you see the scars on his chest... He must have suffered a lot."

The others lowered their gazes in sorrow...

...

Zhao Tian appeared again in the bedroom and Ji Shuang, who was silently sitting on the bed, was startled to see him "T-Tian?"

'Huh? He disappeared just now.. and he is back?'

Bearing the pain on his body, Zhao Tian stood up and looked at Ji Shuang "Sect Master, I need your help."

Ji Shuang snapped out of her daze and nodded her head "Tian, how did you appear?"

However, she shook her head as she knew it was not the time "What help?"

Meanwhile, Zhao Tian took a robe from his storage ring and began to wear it "Do you know about the coup that happened in the Royal palace."

Ji Shuang gave a faint nod, "When I came back, I did hear reports that Zhou Shan has overthrown the current rule and became the next Emperor."

"But I didn't dwell much on it because I was busy taking care of you. What happened?"

As he was wearing his robes, Zhao Tian replied "I just heard that Zhou Shan is marrying Hanyue."

Huh? The fuck?

Hearing this, Ji Shuang was totally dumbfounded, "What? Isn't Zhou Shan her... uncle? Huh?"

Zhao Tian finished wearing his robes and took a deep breath, controlling the pain spreading over his body.

"I need your help in stopping the wedding..."
