Chapter 217: Lan Ze’s Perspective (Part )
Sang Yan was stunned for a few seconds, then he slowly smiled. His eyes were filled with sadness, but his smile was very warm.

"It's been a long time since I heard anyone call her name in front of me."

"What do you mean?" Lan Ze's breathing became rapid, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. "Where is she?"

"The Oslan Empire."

Lan Ze breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to ask her how she was doing, but when he saw Sang Yan's expression, he froze in place.

Sang Yan looked at the clouds floating in the sky and said, "It was the same weather on the day of her ceremony."

His appearance had not changed much, but his temperament was much calmer and more reserved than ten years ago. At this moment, he raised his head and slightly covered his red eyes to prevent tears from falling.

Lan Ze's fingertips trembled a little, and asked: "What happened to her? What happened to her?"

Even though ten years had passed, Sang Yan still felt extremely heartbroken when he talked about her. He pretended to be nonchalant and picked up a flower to sniff it, then opened his palm and placed a crystal clear gem that he had been holding in his palm on the back of the Tianya Haijiao Stone. Lan Ze saw that there were already a lot of colorful gems there.

"She's dead."

"Leviry froze her body on the top floor of the Imperial Court's castle and didn't allow anyone to get close except Zongfang. He was paranoid and thought that Sui Sui was just asleep, but we all know that she had no breath and heartbeat."

"I can't see her, so every year on this day, I will come here to give her the most beautiful gem and her favorite flowers."

"Actually, I had no plan to take in the rebels, because with the strength of the Freedom Alliance at the time, it was impossible to compete with the Federation. But when I thought that this might be what Sui Sui cared about, I did it."

Sang Yan said a lot in a discontinuous manner. His tone was extremely calm, but every word was like a thunderclap that struck Lan Ze.

"Why is this happening? How could this happen?" Lan Ze didn't believe it. He didn't want to believe it. "I will go back to the imperial court immediately. Even if I have to kneel down and beg Liberi, I will."

"It's useless. He's crazy." Sang Yan said with sorrow in his eyes, "Liberty is seriously ill. He has been tortured by headaches for more than ten years and has gone completely crazy. Besides, you can't enter the border of Oslan with your own strength. He has caused dissatisfaction among many countries because of his long years of fighting. Now they have joined forces to attack Oslan and should have surrounded the imperial court by now."

"What about Sui Sui?" Lan Ze asked anxiously, "Isn't she still in the Imperial Court?"

Sang Yan said: "I have already negotiated with those countries. The Freedom Alliance will assist them in attacking Oslan, on the condition that they only want her body."

A gust of wind blew by, Sang Yan raised his head and opened his arms to feel it, "She likes the sky and freedom. I want to bury her in the most beautiful place and let her rest in peace."

Lan Ze shook his head in a trance, muttering: "No, she is not dead, she is just not in this world anymore."

He couldn't let Sang Yan bury her.

How scared she would be if Sui Sui found herself in the cold underground when she came back.

Lan Ze clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down.

He pretended, "In that case, take me to get her back. I haven't seen her for the last time."

Sang Yan did not refuse him, but only said: "Before that, I have to go somewhere first."

Sang Yan brought Lan Ze to the southern battlefield.

On the vast ground, there is a cypress tree with lush branches and leaves. The green vines and the brown bark are intertwined. The crown of the tree rises into the clouds, like a huge green umbrella, standing upright on the endless plain.

Sang Yan stroked the thick trunk with a doting smile on his face. "She planted this casually. Zong Fang told me that she hid a secret here. I didn't peek because I was afraid she would be angry."

Lan Ze asked: "Why come here?"

"Because there's a person buried here. Maybe you know him."

Lan Ze frowned in confusion and asked, "Who is it?"

"Anubis."

On the eve of Sang Yan's departure from the Oslan Empire, Zong Fang rarely came down from the top floor and found him. He asked him to do one thing before returning to the Freedom Alliance, which was to bury Anubis in the southern battlefield, because there were his father's brothers and the bodies of the dead rebels.

"He said that if we can't meet again in life, we must be reunited after death." Sang Yan said.

"Why doesn't he come in person?" Lan Ze had been feeling strange since just now. The possessiveness of Labeli and Zongfang was equally strong. How could they tolerate each other?
Sang Yan's dark pupils darkened, and after a long silence, he said, "I'll know when I see you."

It was already dark when Lan Ze followed Sang Yan into the Oslan Empire.

But neither of them showed any intention of resting, so the accompanying group had no choice but to follow them and hurry on.

When passing by a gorgeous manor, a young man in the team who had never been to the Freedom Alliance exclaimed: "The buildings here are so beautiful."

Someone explained for him: "You've seen the world, right? I'm here often. This is called the Legault Palace. I heard it was the former residence of Queen Oslan. Now it has been confiscated and turned into a tourist attraction. Many people are checking in outside the door."

Another person retorted, "No, no, you know nothing. This is clearly the annex of the Imperial Sword."

The young man's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Ah? Is that the fallen sword of the empire, Luka Scorsese?"

"Yes, it's a pity that such an outstanding orc, and the heir of the family, committed suicide."

At this moment, Lan Ze, who was standing at the front, stiffened his back. He looked at Sang Yan in disbelief. After receiving a slight nod from the other party, he froze in place.

The young men behind him were still chatting.

"I heard that this wasn't his first time trying to commit suicide. It seemed like five or seven years ago, he had tried to commit suicide several times, but for some reason, he never succeeded."

"It should be for the children. At that time, the four children had not yet held their coming-of-age ceremony."

"Well, I guess so. It's said outside that a great colonel died in the bathtub of the other palace."

"Huh? Why a bathtub?"

"Then who knows."

"Then is the Imperial Court we are going to visit later more magnificent than this Legault Palace?"

"Of course I'll tell you."

The young people were talking excitedly about everything. Their regrets about the Sword of the Empire seemed like a commonplace discussion, with only vague keywords mentioned. Perhaps in a few years, the young orcs would no longer know that there was once an outstanding figure in the Oslan Empire, known as the Sword of the Empire, and that the rumor left behind was that he was a man who died for love. They would not understand how real the pain was behind these rumors, and how they struggled and struggled on the edge of life and death.

Lan Ze felt extremely sad. He was suddenly afraid that Sui Sui would come back. What would she do if she knew all this?
