Chapter 618: An Bang Ting’s Remorse!
“Teachers of the Nation, civilians, doctors . What’s happened between these people and what role do you play in it?” Bai Xiaofei coldly got straight to business .
An Bang Ting gasped . He’d expected these questions, but he didn’t think Bai Xiaofei would be so direct .
“It’s a long story, Brother Bai . You’ll need some patience . ” With a sigh, An Bang Ting began to talk, “Two months ago, I suddenly fell ill and became easily exhausted overnight . I panicked and summoned all the famous doctors in the imperial city to save myself . Unfortunately, no one knew what kind of illness it was . In a rage, I killed those quacks!”
An Bang Ting’s voice was icy as if he had returned to that time, but soon the coldness disappeared .
“Brother Bai, don’t rush to correct me . I already know that I was wrong, I was just too obsessed then . ” An Bang Ting smiled and continued, “Driven by the fear that I could die any time, I released an imperial announcement in my prolonged struggle . That was when those two men showed up . They responded to the announcement, then stabilized my condition and claimed that they could refine a pill that could cure me completely . In desperation, I chose to believe them . Following their instructions, I arrested a large number of men, women, and children in the name of finding dissidents . Finally, their lives were lost in the refining of that Blood Pill…”
Hearing this, Bai Xiaofei’s heart skipped a beat . If so, A’Tao’s sister…
An Bang Ting naturally didn’t know what Bai Xiaofei was thinking . He kept on explaining the behavior that he deemed to be his crime .
“Just when I was convinced that they were refining my medicine, I found out that the pill they gave me was actually a chronic poison . The more of this poison consumed, the more vitality it burns while the user would look very healthy . It was also when I learned that I only had less than two months to live . ”
An Bang Ting smiled bitterly .
“When I knew that I was going to die, suddenly my thoughts became clear . Sometimes life and death are not so important, what matters is what you can do when you are alive . I have done a lot of wrongs, I don’t want to keep on being wrong!” An Bang Ting looked at Bai Xiaofei . The bitter smile on his face became resolution .
“So you arrested those two men?” asked Bai Xiaofei softly . His face was indifferent, it was hard to tell what he was feeling .
“They must die . Compared to me, their crimes are much lighter, but I can’t redeem myself yet . I need to choose a suitable heir for this country, so I have to wait for another month . A month later, at the ceremony of the new king’s accession to the throne, I will make my crimes public and die in front of the people to quell their anger . I will do anything to make this country stable again . ”
There was no passion, no screaming nor voice-cracking . An Bang Ting said those words in the most insipid way, but the deep feelings contained didn’t seem like a performance at all . If it was really a performance, then Bai Xiaofei admitted defeat to An Bang Ting’s acting skill .

Therefore, Bai Xiaofei believed An Bang Ting, because he trusted his own eyes . When An Bang Ting said he could do anything for the country, he couldn’t spot any sign of a lie .
It was absolutely genuine! Bai Xiaofei firmly believed this .
“You can wait a month, but have you considered the people who lost their loved ones? Your guards are still beating those who want to find their relatives . Don’t you think it’s a crime to keep hurting them?”
Although Bai Xiaofei already believed An Bang Ting, he did not intend to stop pursuing the matter . He had promised A’Tao to handle this, so he needed at least something to help the boy accept the fact that his sister had left forever .
At Bai Xiaofei’s question, An Bang Ting was obviously ashamed .
“I know it’s wrong, but what can I do? How can I tell them that I was fooled? What can I do to make up for those hundreds of lives? How can I settle this without worries when the throne is not passed down yet? I can’t watch Tranquil descend into chaos!” An Bang Ting was dejected, his face full of helplessness and pain .
“You may be wrong about something . ” Bai Xiaofei didn’t get softhearted . He said with a cold expression, “What they want is not you to make up for it . For them, it might already be enough that the high and mighty emperor admits his mistakes . ”

An Bang Ting was stunned .
“What do you mean?” he asked weakly as if seeing a ray of hope .
……
When Bai Xiaofei left An Bang Ting’s study, he looked like a burden had been lifted . It should be settled . The rest depends on what An Bang Ting does .
When he returned to An Yue’s palace, An Yue and A’Tao had fully adapted to the meditation technique . Seeing him, the triplets hurriedly came up .
“How was it?” asked Leng Liuli with anxiety in her voice . The other two also looked at Bai Xiaofei expectantly .

“Don’t worry, it’s all solved . The matter isn’t as complicated as we think . ” Bai Xiaofei smiled and patted Leng Liuli on the shoulder, and then looked at A’Tao and An Yue .
“How are they?”
Seeing that Bai Xiaofei had emerged from his earlier depression and confusion, the triplets were set at ease .
“Their innate conditions are quite good . I can’t judge now since it hasn’t been long, but at least they are able to enter the state of meditation . It’s not a problem for An Yue to advance a realm in a month, but we are not sure about A’Tao,” Leng Liuli replied . She was not familiar with the cultivation of martial artists, especially the secret technique that Bai Xiaofei taught A’Tao .
“A’Tao’s progress will only be faster . Liushuang, I’ll have to trouble you for the next two days . After the training officially starts, both of them will need to take in a lot of nutrition, this will be your mission . ” Bai Xiaofei looked at Leng Liushuang . The latter nodded .
“As long as there are suitable ingredients, this is not a problem . ” Cooking was as simple as drinking water for her, let alone that this was to help Bai Xiaofei .
“This is the royal palace . I think ingredients shouldn’t be a problem here . ” Bai Xiaofei smiled, feeling that he had finally regained control of the pace . As for the rest, let time take care of it!
