The carefree sixth prince, my father respectfully invites me to ascend the throne.

The little boy's eyes reddened, his little hands gripped the bed sheet tightly, and he raised his watery eyes, staring straight at Yang Ling.

After a long while, he finally let go of her hand and asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Do you like your mother?"

"I like her," Yang Ling answered without hesitation, "but unfortunately, she doesn't like me, or perhaps she has already forgotten me..."

“My mother is the best girl in the world. You scum don’t deserve her at all. I advise you to get lost and stop interfering with my mother’s happy life.”

Little Baozi has a fiery temper. Under normal circumstances, if anyone bullies him, he will definitely retaliate with all his might.

But when Nanxian was mentioned, he became as docile as a kitten.

He was only at his most docile when facing Nanxian.

“I know you don’t believe me. After all, you just woke up and don’t know anything. But don’t you find it strange? Your mother was saved by a man named Nanxian. Were these people sent by Nanxian to protect your mother?”

Before leaving, Nanxian entrusted him with one task: to keep his mother with him no matter what.

If Old Man Yang dares to harm Mother, have him tied up and brought to him.

This villain is too cunning. He doesn't want to let the villain see his mother. If the villain hurts his mother, he's doomed.

"I will be grateful to Nanxian for saving the person, but I will not give my mother away so easily. Don't even dream about it!"

"What can I do if your mother doesn't like me?"

"Anyway, I won't agree."

The little boy grunted twice, turned his head away, and ignored him.

"Then tell me, where is Nanxian?" Yang Ling's face darkened, and her tone became cold.

The little boy rolled his eyes: "I've never been to the desert, how would I know where my father went?"

"Where is your mother? Has she disappeared too?"

The little dumpling pouted: "I don't know."

Yang Ling had no doubt about this statement.

Little Baozi wasn't a native of the desert, so naturally he didn't know about the existence of that bandit gang.

But he was still worried.

I wonder if the little dumpling's mother is alright.

If those people dare to touch her, he will definitely... wipe them out!

……

The desert.

The sky is filled with wind and sand.

Yellow sand swirled, obscuring the sunlight.

Amidst the yellow sand, several strong and burly men carried out a corpse and threw it onto a carriage.

One of the men wiped the sweat from his brow: "Second Brother, shall we rest tonight?"

"kindness."

A lazy, seductive voice came from inside the carriage.

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They had been traveling for so long and were really exhausted.

This stretch of the journey was more arduous than usual.

"I need to use the restroom first."

A man hurriedly pulled at his clothes and jumped off the carriage.

He hadn't run far when he saw a stunningly beautiful woman walking towards him.

The woman paused for a moment, seemingly surprised, her gaze falling on the man in front of her.

The man's handsome face wore a faint smile, and his peach blossom eyes were deep and captivating.

"Asheng."

The woman named Asheng pursed her lips. She had delicate features but a pale complexion and was clearly very sickly.

"Ah Chen, I heard that someone is trying to take me back to the desert," she sighed softly. "Did you come to find me because you were worried about me?"

The man smiled and said, "You know what I'm thinking."

“Ah Chen, I know you love me, but I don’t want to marry you. You are from a collateral branch of the Nan family, and my father will not allow Nan Xian to marry a woman from a desert tribe. You are destined not to be happy, and I can’t bear to separate you.”

"Then why won't you marry me?" A sorrowful look appeared on Ah Chen's face. "I had already planned to leave the desert and never set foot on the mainland again. This time, I ran away because I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I wanted to visit you, but..."

He stepped forward slowly, reached out his arm, and put his arm around the woman's slender and delicate shoulders.

"Why are you rejecting me? We've known each other for so many years, we know each other inside and out. You don't need to worry about my feelings, I can give you happiness."

“But I…” Liu Yue frowned, “Achen, you don’t know your parents’ current situation. I’m afraid I’ll be a burden to you.”

Ah Chen's body stiffened, his pupils narrowed slightly, and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.

"You mean, my parents are gone?"

Liu Yue fell silent. She didn't answer Achen's question, but changed the subject: "My parents were killed by our enemies. Before they died, they were still calling your name."

Their enemy was sent by Bei Mo, but...

Liu Yue raised her head and stared at Achen.

“At that time, I was only five years old and you were seven. My parents were forced by your father. Your father was a member of the Bei Mo gang, which is why my parents suffered such a terrible fate.”

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and tears welled up in them.

She doesn't trust anyone in this world, but she trusts her master and Ah Chen.

and so……

"Ah Chen, are you really willing to be harmed by your own father? Don't you hate him?"

Ah Chen was stunned.

He never knew that his father was a member of Bei Mo's group!

"Ah Sheng, I don't understand. Why did my father, who was from Bei Mo, kill my parents? My father was the king of the Great Desert! Why would he betray the entire Great Desert?"

"Because Bei Mo instilled wrong ideas in your father, leading him astray and causing him to commit such a brutal act."

"But none of this has anything to do with you!"

Ah Chen shoved her away abruptly, his anger blazing as he glared at Liu Yue: "Ah Sheng, all these years I've been completely open and honest with you, yet you slander me like this! Since you're so heartless, I don't need to consider our years of friendship anymore, I'm leaving now!"

Before he could finish speaking, he flashed and rushed towards the city gate.

Liu Yue was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly chased after him.

She staggered, but soon caught up with Ah Chen.

"Ah Chen, wait for me."

Ah Chen stopped and turned to look at Liu Yue, gritting his teeth: "I don't want to see you right now!"

Liu Yue gave a bitter smile: "Do you think that if you leave, I will give up looking for your parents? I don't care what crimes they committed, they are still my parents. I have to find out why they died. If you leave, how am I supposed to explain it to them when I find them again?"

Ah Chen was stunned. His expression was blank, and he turned to look at the woman behind him in disbelief.

"You don't want me to leave, are you afraid I won't come back?"

Liu Yue lowered her eyes, remaining silent.

"Ah Sheng, I understand..."

"No!" Liu Yue exclaimed in surprise.

“Ah Sheng,” Ah Chen clenched his fist, “I will help you find out the truth.”

Liu Yue opened her mouth, but ultimately did not stop her.

Ah Chen strode into the forest, his figure disappearing from Liu Yue's sight.

"Ah Chen!"

Liu Yue's expression changed. She stamped her foot in frustration and ran wildly into the mountains.
