"Oh, good, you knew. Back then, Guan Xinhu joined the River Guard Army to control you. Who could have guessed she would truly fall in love with you, and conceive your child after a single night? Tang Jiannan feared an unexpected twist in his plans, so he sent men disguised as yours into the prison to ambush Guan Xinhu, injuring her unborn child. I learned of it a step too late. I sent people to save her, but they couldn't save your child, Tang Weisheng."
"Impossible..."
"Mother and son are buried on the Mirror Devil Sect's mountain. That great fool Gao Tiankuo is there too, his spirit anchored in a stele, guarding them to carry out your orders. Truth be told, Gao Tiankuo was stupid, clumsy, foolish, and good for nothing, but he was more of a good father than you. You, Tang Enming, had countless opportunities, yet you watched Guan Xinhu and Gao Tiankuo die."
"Stop..."
Ouyang Li sneered. "I still remember what you said not long after we met. You said your greatest wish was for your whole family to live in harmony, together and whole, without infighting or slaughtering one another. And what happened? That old beast Tang Jiannan killed every last member of your family. Now he's borrowed the Champion King's blade and set it against your neck."
"He said he wouldn't..."
"Ridiculous. You know perfectly well what kind of man he is. You know perfectly well what he'll do, yet you keep deceiving yourself. If you were an ordinary man, you could drift with the current. If you lacked ability, you could hesitate and waver. But you're the Grand General King. You bear the Human Race's fortune. You ought to lead countless armies and destroy every evil, so more children can live and grow up.
