Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

The guards officer agreed, saying, "You two are so different, not to mention your appearances, even your hair color is different. How could you possibly be father and son?"

Besides, Lord Landau already sacrificed himself on that snowy night!

Seeing the doubt in Bronya's beautiful eyes, Su Jinyan looked up at the sky, tears glistening in her eyes.

"It's very simple, I am not his biological father."

Bronya: “?”

Royal Guard Officer: "?"

Jepard's pupils constricted sharply: "What? Father, you're not—"

"Then where is my biological father?"

Su Jinyan said slowly, "This leads me to another story."

"Actually, I have a long-standing friendship with the Landau family, and old Landau was my closest old friend."

"That guy was a noble and upright Silvermane Iron Guard, and I was deeply impressed by his temperament."

"However, shortly after Jepard and Hilva were born, he... died on the battlefield..."

Jepard exclaimed, "What? Sacrificed?!"

Su Jinyan continued, "The Langdao family has a noble bloodline."

“You must defend Beloborg and her people for generations to come, and pledge allegiance to the Great Guardian.”

"Before his death, old Landau worried that losing his father would have a negative impact on your growth and would bring shame to the Landau family."

"So he entrusted you to me."

“I will play the role of your father and teach you to become outstanding heirs of the Landau family.”

March 7th asked worriedly, "That...Master Taibu?"

"Do you think that after we get out, he won't ruin our memories of Bellberg?"

Fu Xuan said in a low voice, "No need to worry. With me here, you can be sure of your safety."

Once she gets out, she'll definitely teach this rebellious disciple a lesson.

Jepard silently covered his forehead, remaining silent, his heart heavy.

I thought I was just following the orders of the Great Guardian to apprehend an infiltrator who intended to instigate a rebellion.

Who would have thought that his father, who had been killed many years ago, was among the rebels?

Then his father told him, "Actually, I am not your biological father. Your biological father died long ago. I am your adoptive father..."

Bronya sighed deeply, then asked, "And what about your sacrifice on that snowy night...?"

Su Jinyan said with a serious expression, "I won the revival match."

Jepard: "?"

Bronya said angrily, "Father, please be serious!"

Su Jinyan said awkwardly, "Bronya can be quite imposing when she gets angry."

"Back then, I also thought I was going to die, so I thought I would fight to the last moment."

"Who would have thought that I would be inexplicably drawn into the Rift Realm?"

"By the time I found a way out of the rift, the war was already over."

Jepard couldn't help but ask, "Then why didn't you tell us at the time?"

"Our whole family was heartbroken when we heard about your sacrifice."

Su Jinyan smiled faintly: "Only when a fledgling eagle leaves its warm nest can it spread its wings and fight against the ever-changing winds and clouds."

"Only when a foal leaves its comfortable enclosure can it raise its hooves and gallop across the battlefield amidst the flames of war."

"If my sacrifice can lead to your growth, why not?"

“Jepard, I’m so proud of you.”

Jepard's expression shifted: "Father..."

Bronya sighed, her expression filled with emotion, "Father..."

After learning Su Jinyan's true identity, Jepard respected him even more.

The three siblings of the Landau family all grew up listening to his teachings.

How could I distance myself from him just because we're not related by blood?

"Father, how could a man of your high moral character associate with rebels?"

Su Jinyan said, "It's a long story. The Great Guardian has been blinded by treacherous officials."

Jepard instinctively looked at Bronya.

Bronya was secretly annoyed: "If it wasn't me, why are you looking at me like that?"

Jepard quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Lady Bronya."

Su Jinyan said in a deep voice, "Jepard, we came for the Star Core."

"In order to undo the disaster it brought to Beloberg, we must seal the star core."

"The Star Core is the treacherous minister who bewitched the Great Guardian Cocolia."

"Are you willing to believe me and stand by my side?"

Jepard slowly shook his head: "Father, I believe in your character."

"But I don't believe you have the ability to seal the star core."

"If I were the Great Guardian, wouldn't I also have some doubts about you?"

"Have you... been deceived by these two treacherous villains beside you?"

March 7th said discontentedly, "Hey, who are you calling a treacherous villain?"

"Watch out, or I'll go and complain to Hiluva!"

Jepard remained unmoved.

Su Jinyan smiled faintly and said, "Jepard, I really cannot prove to you that I have the ability to seal star cores."

“But I can easily defeat all the Silvermane Iron Guards you brought.”

"It can render them instantly incapable of fighting while ensuring they are not harmed in any way."

Jepard stood at attention and said, "Father."

“If you can really do that, then I’d like to join your team.”

If that's the case, then it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask Father to help when the Silver Mane Iron Guards are fighting against the Rift, would it?

Jepard still remembers the promise he made that day—

If one day, protecting the people means disobeying the Great Guardian's orders.

And since no matter which choice I make, it will put me in a dangerous situation, I will still choose the former.

Defending Belloberg and her people to the death is the mission of the Landau family; loyalty to the Great Protector can only come second.

......

Led by Jepard, Su Jinyan and the others calmly walked out of the room.

He was the first to push open the main door of the Goethe Hotel, looking into the eyes of the Silvermane Iron Guards who were staring at him.

Su Jinyan smiled slightly, a strange light appearing in her eyes: "Everyone, feel the greatness of maternal love!"

Plop, plop——

The next moment, the neatly lined-up Silvermane Iron Guards all showed expressions of horror, clutching their pregnant bellies and collapsing to the ground in pain.

"Ah ah ah ah ah......"

"Help, I'm pregnant."

"Mother--"

None of the Silvermane Iron Guards escaped; their bellies swelled rapidly like inflating balloons, and they collapsed to the ground, experiencing the agony of pregnancy and childbirth.

Jepard and Bronya were dumbfounded and hurriedly distanced themselves from Su Jinyan.

Fu Xuan and San Yueqi were in the same boat, even though it wasn't the first time they had witnessed the power of such evil magic.

But every time they see it, they still can't get used to it.

Su Jinyan turned around and smiled, "How is it?"

Jepard avoided his gaze like the plague, fearing he would suffer the same fate as the Silvermane Iron Guard.

Bronya completely abandoned any semblance of a noble young lady, crouching down with her head in her hands, trembling with fear.

"No, Father, I am your daughter, you can't do this!"
