Upon hearing Nánjí's words,
Huang Tianhua's heart skipped a beat!

"That's right. My father has been battling the Rebel Army in the North Sea for quite some time now..."
After the incense-offering incident at Nüwa Temple,

Huang Feihu was not only Great Shang's Martial King.
His younger sister was Di Xin's consort. By that reckoning, he was the Great King's brother-in-law. Moreover, with Wu Tian around, Queen Jiang and Consorts Huang and Yang had remained safe and sound, and Huang Feihu's family had not suffered any persecution either...
