Longyuan stared blankly at the big man who fell. “Hey! What happened to you!?”

Just then, the two prison guards had already stood up. They walked up to find the big man’s face had gone pale and he was no longer breathing—flustered, they quickly turned and ran off to find the warden.

Eventually, the big man was dragged away by the two guards.

Longyuan could only watch as the big man was dragged away. The circles around his eyes reddened and tears soon flowed as his heart clenched in pain.

When Nangong Ba quickly came to the prison when he learned that Longyuan was locked up.

Longyuan’s eyes lit up instantly when he saw Nangong Ba, and he leaned on the iron bar as he cried out, “Godfather!” f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

Nangong Ba crouched to touch his cheeks. Frowning his beautiful brows slightly, he asked softly, “Yuan’er, could you tell me what happened?”

Longyuan’s brows dropped immediately. His eyes turning dewy, he pursed his lips as he spoke, “Godfather, I really didn’t kill Elder Meng. I was reading a book at night and fell asleep because I felt dizzy, and only woke up when Mother came to give me food the next morning. She found Elder Meng on the floor and bleeding a lot, and then Father angrily asked me why I’m holding a stick before throwing me in here, saying that he would only let me out after gathering evidence that I didn’t kill Elder Meng…”

As Longyuan spoke, his tears streamed and dripped on the floor—a heartrending sight.

Nangong Ba wiped the warm tears on his cheeks and said confidently, “Just sit tight and wait for some good news from me.”

Longyuan nodded and pointed at the next cell, gulping, “Godfather, the man in that cell held my hand and it was very painful… however, it didn’t feel painful after I circulated my qi flow like he told me… but he died and was dragged away. I feel so sad…”

Nangong Ba’s eyes widened. Reaching out to hold Longyuan’s wrist and feeling his pulse, his charming lips curled into a smile soon and he said softly, “Yuan’er, try directing that flow of qi to your hands.”

“Okay.” Longyuan nodded. Closing his eyes to calm himself and feeling the flow of qi around his dantian, he used his breathing to control its movement, and the qi soon converged on his hands.

In the next instant, Longyuan opened his eyes to find the iron bar his little hands were holding had frosted over.

“What is this, godfather? Why is there ice here?”

Longyuan frowned in confusion. Right now, he felt that his body was light and no longer felt cold.

Nangong Ba smiled faintly. “I’ll tell you when you get out of prison. Alright, I’m off to investigate and find the person who framed you.”

“Okay, godfather. Please visit me often.”

Nangong Ba gave his godson a few looks before standing up to leave.

Nangong Ba headed to the study, and had someone call in the two guards who were on watch last night.

“Raise your head.” He commanded flatly.

Both guardsmen did as they were told.

Nangong Ba’s foxy gaze promptly turned pink, and flickered a few times.

Abruptly, both guardsmen stared stupidly at Nangong Ba, every defense in their minds disappeared without a trace.

“Tell me, what were the two of you doing last night?” He then asked tantalizingly.
