Chapter 1605: The Lord of the Heavenly Palace

"Hmm?"

When Ye Bufan saw this person, he also felt a strange sense of familiarity. Now that Situ Dianmo reminded him, he realized that this person really looked very much like him, only older and seemingly more mature.

Changsun Dongju and Ouyang Lan had been standing at the back of the line. When they saw this man appear, they instantly felt as if they had been struck by lightning, trembling uncontrollably from head to toe, their eyes vacant, and their lips moving as if to speak but unable to.

However, everyone's attention was currently on the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, so no one noticed her unusual reaction.

From the Heavenly Palace side, Huo Dongping stumbled over, a trickle of blood still overflowing from the corner of his mouth as he approached.

"Your subordinate greets Lord Huo."

The man glanced at him, his expression sinking: "Lord Huo, what happened to you?"

"Lord Huo, this audacious madman brazenly trespassed into the Heavenly Palace, injuring this old man is not important, but he also successively injured several Disciples within the Palace, completely disregarding my Heavenly Palace. I implore you, my Lord, to uphold justice for us."

As he spoke, the fellow actually burst into tears, snot and tears flowing freely.

There was some intentional pretense in his actions, but some was also from the heart, as his crucial Grandson had become a cripple.

He had previously calculated that as long as Ye Bufan forcibly entered the Heavenly Palace, Lord Huo would surely take action. Unfortunately, his timing was a bit off, and by the time Lord Huo arrived, his side had already suffered heavy losses.

The Middle-aged Man's expression instantly turned grim. For so many years, no one had ever dared to offend the dignity of the Heavenly Palace.

Just then, Situ Changkong and An Daoquan quickly walked over, bowing in greeting: "Xuanyuan Pavilion's Situ Changkong and An Daoquan greet Lord Huo."

To explain the matter as quickly as possible, Situ Changkong spoke without waiting for the Middle-aged Man's reaction: "Lord Huo, while Ye Bufan was wrong to trespass into the Heavenly Palace, it was also understandable…"

He then quickly and concisely explained the sequence of events, finally stating: "Lord Huo, when he arrived in the Imperial Capital, he turned a blind eye to Yunxia Mountain's worldly involvement. Later, he even abducted Ye Bufan's two mothers and broke their legs.

As a son, Ye Bufan only intruded into the Heavenly Palace to seek justice for his mothers. I ask Lord Huo to judge clearly."

An Daoquan immediately followed: "Elder Situ's words are entirely true, and your subordinate is willing to be a witness."

"Nonsense and slander, blatant slander."

Huo Dongping's expression was agitated, as if he had suffered immense grievance: "Lord Huo, please do not listen to his baseless accusations.

That Ye Bufan is originally Situ Changkong's Grandson-in-law. They are in cahoots, and to shirk responsibility, they are insulting this old man.

As the Deputy Lord of the Heavenly Palace, a strong practitioner of the Imperial Realm, how could I possibly engage in kidnapping women, let alone attack two ordinary people? I implore Lord Huo to judge clearly."

"Lord Huo, there's no need to rush. I will make a fair judgment on this matter."

The Middle-aged Man said, looking at Situ Changkong and the other: "Do you have any evidence for what you just said?"

"This…" Facing the Lord's question, Situ Changkong and the other were filled with bitterness, but could only answer truthfully, "No."

As soon as they finished speaking, the Middle-aged Man's expression immediately darkened.

Huo Dongping lowered his head, a barely perceptible hint of triumph appearing at the corner of his mouth.

He was the Deputy Lord of the Heavenly Palace, his identity and status were clear. Since it was all just words, Lord Huo would naturally lean towards what he said.

But just as he was feeling incredibly smug, a choked and trembling voice suddenly rang out.

"Tian… Tian Ge, is… is that you?"

As the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, the Middle-aged Man had originally exuded a powerful Aura and a majestic demeanor, but upon hearing this call, he suddenly trembled all over, as if struck by a Nine Heavens Heavenly God's lightning.

He immediately looked up and saw a Middle-aged Woman walking over from behind the crowd, her expression incredibly agitated and full of joy.

The Middle-aged Man's voice trembled as he said: "You… are you Dongju?"

"Tian Ge, I've finally found you after all these years."

An excited Changsun Dongju could no longer control herself and threw herself into the Middle-aged Man's arms, crying uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. No one had expected such an outcome.

Especially Huo Dongping, who had just been incredibly smug, now felt like he had been utterly screwed.

He had originally thought his plan was perfect; without any evidence, Lord Huo would surely believe him more.

But he never expected that this woman would have such a special relationship with Lord Huo. As the saying goes, plans are no match for changes, and this instantly threw him into disarray.

Ye Bufan was also shocked to see this scene. Looking at the man and then at his mother, he instantly understood a lot.

It was just that all of this came too suddenly, making it difficult for him to accept at once.

"Tian Ge, I've looked for you for so many years. We have a son, a son! All those years ago, it was all a misunderstanding, all Changsun Qiulan's doing. We really have a son…"

It turned out that the Middle-aged Man before them was Lin Zhentian, whom Changsun Dongju had been searching for for many years. Now, she had finally found the person she was looking for.

She was incredibly agitated, crying and speaking at the same time, wanting to explain what had happened all those years ago, wanting to tell the man before her that he had a son. However, her emotions were too out of control, and she was completely incoherent, without any logic.

Lin Zhentian also realized something was wrong and asked anxiously: "Dongju, what exactly is going on? Tell me slowly."

"Brother Lin, let me tell you."

Seeing Changsun Dongju lose control like this, Ouyang Lan stepped forward. In recent days, the two women had talked about everything, and she was very clear about this matter.

So, under everyone's gaze, she briefly and concisely explained the misunderstanding from back then, finally saying: "Everything back then was caused by that woman, Changsun Qiulan. The DNA identification was fake, and the child was also swapped.

Sister Changsun has never done anything to betray you, and the child is your biological son."

Upon hearing all of this, Lin Zhentian immediately became incredibly agitated.

Twenty years! This matter had been like a nightmare, weighing on his heart. The woman he loved was carrying a child that wasn't his—what a blow that was!

But now, knowing the truth, knowing that he had misunderstood the woman before him all these years, and knowing that he had a son of his own, it was simply a joyous surprise from Heaven.

He grabbed Changsun Dongju's shoulders, asking excitedly: "Dongju, is this all true? Is this all true? Do I really have a son?"

Changsun Dongju was in tears, choked up and unable to speak, but she nodded desperately.

"Haha, I have a son! I actually have a son! Lin Zhentian has a son!"

Lin Zhentian burst into a frantic laugh. The laughter instantly cleared away the years of accumulated resentment and grievance in his heart. Then he asked with extreme eagerness: "Dongju, where's our son? Where's our son?

Where is he now? I want to see him!"

"He's right there!" Changsun Dongju turned and pointed, "Xiao Fan, come here, this is your father!"
