Chapter 13: Glory and Disgrace

In the northern town of Demacia, Ye Feng and Fiona gathered some necessities with Ruiwen's permission.

Along the way, because Fiona was still haunted by Ye Feng's trick on her a few days ago, she didn't say a word.

In order to curry favor with Fiona, Ye Feng took the initiative to bring up everything for Fiona. Bidding farewell to the crowded bazaar, Ye Feng staggered and followed Fiona with a bunch of things. The two of them returned to their room in a small inn, intending to rest for the afternoon before returning to the Red Maple Grove.

In the room, Ye Feng threw a bunch of things on his body onto his bed, and then sat down at the head of the bed.

Ye Feng's look of dying caused Fiona to laugh in her heart, but Fiona didn't show it.

Ye Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Fiona who was sitting on the other bed.

Sensing that Ye Feng was looking at herself, Fiona pretended not to notice Ye Feng's eyes. She closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Ye Feng originally wanted to take this opportunity to say a few more words to Fiona and ease the relationship between the two. Seeing that Fiona seemed to be very tired, he had to dismiss this idea for the time being.

Bored and stretched, Ye Feng got up and walked to the window. Opening the window, he lay on it leisurely and watched the lively scene of the street below.

The voices on the street were very noisy, but the conversation between the two middle-aged men attracted Ye Feng's attention.

"Have you heard about that incident with the Laurent family?"

"Of course, I heard that the patriarch of the Laurent family faced off against the hermit swordsman, and he won by poisoning!"

"Yes, after this matter was revealed, King Gavin III was very indignant and issued an order to expel the patriarch of the Laurent family, and he was never allowed to set foot in Demacia."

"So serious? Has he already left Demacia? ”

"Not really, but he was brought to us this morning by his escort, down another street, supposedly to exile him to Freljord."

"He deserves it, I see, his previous undefeated achievements were all achieved by poisoning, and even the Laurent family is simply a family that relies on opportunism to gain the reputation of swordsmen."

Hearing this, Ye Feng felt the need to tell Fiona about it. After all, Fiona was the man's daughter, and she had the right to know about it.

Ye Feng just wanted to turn around, but he felt an unusual sword aura passing by him. Before he could come back to his senses, Ye Feng saw Fiona appear outside the inn. With an ominous premonition in his heart, Ye Feng hurriedly jumped down from the window.

Patting the dust on his body, Ye Feng looked at Fiona. This look frightened Ye Feng, Fiona picked up the middle-aged man who had slandered her family's reputation just now with her right hand, and she could make a move at any time.

Fiona's face was frosty: "You fools who will only fall into the well, have you seen the patriarch of the Laurent family poisoned with your own eyes?" Her tone was extremely cold, chilling to the bone. As she spoke, Fiona didn't forget to cast her cold gaze on another middle-aged man next to her.

"No ......," the man who was picked up by Fiona was so frightened that he trembled when he spoke.

"If not, don't infer it on me, maybe someone else framed it, and you civilians may kill an innocent person if you fall into the well, it's really ignorant and ignorant, hum!"

Fiona snorted coldly, loosened the man's neckline, and said no more. She glanced back at Ye Feng lightly, and then dodged away.

Seeing this, Ye Feng couldn't help but secretly say that something was wrong, and as soon as he guessed, he knew that Fiona was going to her father to confirm whether her father had really poisoned him.

He has been with Fiona for ten years, and the one he hears Fiona say the most is her father. She adores her father, who is her kendo idol. She aspires to become a swordsman as brilliant as her father and to keep the glory of the Laurent family alive.

But such a father who is admired by Fiona actually had a duel poisoning scandal, which can be imagined as a blow to Fiona. She didn't believe that her admired father could be that kind of person, and she had to go and confirm it for herself.

But what would happen to Fiona if her father did poison him? Will she break down? The more he thought about it, the more Ye Feng felt that the seriousness of the situation had exceeded his expectations.

Not daring to think about it, Ye Feng rushed back to the hotel room and wrapped all the necessities he had bought into a large cloth bag. After doing all this, he jumped straight down the window and chased in Fiona's footsteps.

……

On the edge of Demacia's northern border, Fiona's figure shuttles through. In full pursuit, she finally caught up with her exiled father.

Looking at her father who was followed by two escorts from afar, Fiona felt very uncomfortable. With a flicker in her eyes, Fiona appeared in front of her father in an instant, knocking the two escorts unconscious.

When his father saw Fiona in a black dress, he was stunned at first. Then, as if realizing something, he sighed helplessly.

This sigh is as much a sigh as he sighs for himself and as if he is sighing for the fate of his daughter, which is meaningful.

"Fiona, my daughter ......"

Fiona looked at her father in front of her with some heartbreak, her current strength could see her father's strength clearly. Thinking about it, her father was probably poisoned. The hermit swordsman is an existence that has cultivated sword intent, and even she is not an opponent, let alone the father in front of her who can see through her strength at a glance.

Fiona opened her mouth, trying to call out to her father, but stopped. She paused and said softly, "You've disappointed me......"

Fiona's father didn't intend to make too many excuses, he smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, Fiona, it seems that you can also master the sword momentum, otherwise you won't see through my strength at the moment."

Seeing that her father still had the heart to laugh, she suddenly felt that she couldn't understand her father. Or was her father a hypocrite all along?

Fiona, who has always been proud of her father and a member of the Laurent family, was extremely unstable at the moment, and she widened her eyes and asked, "Why do you want to poison yourself?" Didn't you always teach me that swordsmen are arrogant, so why do you poison them? The glory of the Laurent family, where has your glory gone? Don't you know that you're discrediting not only yourself, but also your family? ”

Fiona's father closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Opening his eyes again, he looked at Fiona with his terrifyingly calm eyes, "At least the undefeated glory has been preserved, hasn't it?"

Seeing her father like this, Fiona shuddered and unconsciously took a step backwards. The last trace of her father's tall image in her heart was also shattered by her father's despicable words.

She couldn't believe that her father was not ashamed but proud. The pride and dignity of the swordsman were subverted by her father!

She would rather not have the glory that had been obtained by such despicable means. Even if her father's strength is really not good, she will devote her whole life to cultivating sword intent and justifying the name of the Laurent family!

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief. With a snort, she said indignantly: "You are really a scumbag, you are no longer worthy of being a swordsman, nor are you worthy of being a swordsman of the Laurent family, let alone my father!"

"That's what you thought too......" Fiona's father smiled as he endured the pain in his heart.

Looking at the smile on her father's face, Fiona felt a chill. She didn't care that she was angry, and let out nonsense: "From now on, I will break off the father-daughter relationship with you, you are the shame of the Laurent family, and the shame of my life, I will become the next head of the family, and use my life to wash away the shame you brought to the family and me!"

For some reason, Fiona's father looked into Fiona's eyes with sympathy. He shook his head and sighed, "It's exactly the same...... Fiona, my father passed on the fountain of peerless progress that you and I created before leaving. ”

Fiona roared angrily: "Get out, I won't learn your swordsmanship, with your little strength, even if you create it yourself, how good will it be?"

Fiona's father didn't get angry, but smiled like a father. Ignoring Fiona's objections, he told Fiona about the cultivation method of the Forward Fountain. He believed that with his daughter's talent for kendo, she would soon comprehend it if she was willing to learn.

This swordsmanship, combined with the swordsmanship created by the genius ancestors of the Laurent family, should be able to stab five swords in an instant. It's a pity that he can't see his daughter's growth anymore.

"You go, it's better to freeze to death in Freljord, I never want to see you again!" Fiona waved her hand and forcefully chased away her father. In fact, she felt very uncomfortable, she was really afraid that she would not hold back for a while and cry in front of her father.

Fiona's father exhaled a cloudy breath and looked at the sun as it began to set in the west. Knowing that his daughter would not forgive him, the chill in his heart was colder than the winter night in Freljord.

"Don't follow your father's path...... leaving a meaningful sentence, Fiona's father walked straight in the direction of Freljord, the land of extreme ice.

When Fiona's father walked away, Fiona, who had been holding back tears, finally couldn't help it. The tears in his eyes were rolling hotly, and the tip of his sour nose was slightly red.

And Ye Feng, who had been chasing Fiona, also arrived at this time. When Ye Feng saw the usually arrogant Fiona curled up and sobbing helplessly, he couldn't help but feel a tingle in his heart.

It seems that Fiona has probably met her father, and that her father did poison him. With a rough guess in his heart, Ye Feng felt that Fiona was very pitiful at the moment.

Slowly walked to Fiona's side and put down the cloth bag, Ye Feng rarely let go of his naughty character. Stroking Fiona's back, he silently soothed Fiona.

"Ye Feng?" Raising her head, Fiona looked at Ye Feng with a stunned face. Obviously, she didn't expect Ye Feng to chase after her. What she didn't expect was that Ye Feng would comfort her.

But when he thought that he and Ye Feng were still a little contradictory, now they let Ye Feng see his fragile side. Unable to pull her face, she tilted her head, her lips squirming stubbornly.

"Fiona, cry if you want to." Ye Feng didn't think as much as Fiona thought, he just wanted to make Fiona feel better. After all, the two are also childhood sweethearts, and he also cares about Fiona. Although there are often contradictions, in his opinion, they are all petty fights, and they forget about it when they dream.

Ye Feng's words were like a lead, detonating the last embankment in Fiona's heart. Suddenly, Fiona, who was already sensitive to the touch, sobbed a few times intermittently. Tears rolled with hot and moist eyes in her eyes, and she looked at Ye Feng aggrievedly.

Choked a few more times, Fiona opened her mouth, unable to speak. She threw herself into Ye Feng's arms in one fell swoop, and released all her pain and grievances to her heart's content.

Her tears were like an unstoppable flood of the embankment, running down her pretty cheeks and hitting the clothes on Ye Feng's chest. After a while, accompanied by a howling cry, the clothes on Ye Feng's chest were soaked with Fiona's tears.
