His Highness the Madman gave in again today.

Chu Canglan's gaze was indifferent, as if he had crushed an ant, and he didn't even glance at her.

"Wanwan!"

Only when Su Qingwan had completely stopped breathing did Su Haotian come to his senses in disbelief and hurriedly pick up his adopted daughter from the pool of blood.

He looked at the man standing next to Yin Yue, his eyes filled with shock.

Who is this man?

On the territory of the Tianyan Sect, he dared to kill people so casually.

It's crazy!

Su Haotian looked at Yin Yue again and saw that she was indifferent. She had witnessed her sister's tragic death but had no reaction at all. He couldn't help but feel a little chilled.

How did it turn out like this?

Chu Canglan saw the expression on Su Haotian's face, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

He misjudged people, causing the death of his own daughter and almost killing his Yue'er...

They deserve to die too.

"What, you want to kill me?"

Su Haotian suppressed the shock and anger surging in his heart, holding Su Qingwan's gradually cooling body, his knuckles turning white.

He raised his eyes and stared intently at Chu Canglan, his gaze lingering on the unfathomable and chilling aura emanating from the other man, and his heart sank slightly.

The man Nian'er brought back looked young, but the speed at which he attacked was so fast that even Nian'er couldn't catch a glimpse of it; his strength was unfathomable.

I'm afraid... he can't beat him.

This was the first thought that popped into Su Haotian's mind.

But this is the Tianyan Sect, his territory. His adopted daughter died on the spot. No matter how strong the other party is, he cannot back down even half a step.

"You dare to kill my daughter in public in the main hall of my Tianyan Sect? Do you really think my Tianyan Sect has no one to rely on?"

Su Haotian's voice was deep and cold, but he deliberately suppressed his rage and showed some restraint: "Nian'er is my biological daughter. I will give you credit for protecting her and bringing her back, but you must give me an explanation for this matter."

He glanced at Yin Yue, who stood to the side with a cold expression, feeling both pain and doubt in his heart.

After being missing for so long, the once frail and gentle daughter is now as cold as ice. Upon her return, she immediately accused her adopted daughter of poisoning her, and she is accompanied by such a ruthless and vicious strange man.

What exactly did she go through during this time?

Su Qingnian was frail and sickly from childhood, relying entirely on Su Qingwan's daily care and constant medicine. He simply couldn't believe that his kind and sensible adopted daughter would poison her sister.

Chu Canglan's eyes grew even colder, and a murderous intent flashed in them again. He raised his foot to step forward.

"etc."

Yin Yue reached out and gently pressed down on Chu Canglan's wrist.

Her movements were slow and her tone was calm, yet it made Chu Canglan stop in his tracks instantly, and the murderous intent in his eyes faded a bit. However, the look in his eyes towards Su Haotian was still devoid of any warmth.

Yin Yue raised her eyes, her gaze falling on the corpse in Su Haotian's arms, without the slightest ripple: "I did not wrong her. She was the one who poisoned me, and it is true that she wanted me dead."

"That's enough!"

Su Haotian interrupted sharply, unwilling to listen any longer: "Nian'er, you've just returned and your mind is still unsettled. Go back to your room and rest first."

He turned his head and called out in a deep voice towards the outside of the hall, "Someone come here!"

The two maids immediately bowed and went inside, looking terrified.

"Take the young lady back to Qinxue Pavilion and serve her well. There must be no mistakes."

After giving his instructions, Su Haotian looked at Chu Canglan with a serious and wary gaze: "Please stay here for now. After I have taken care of Wanwan's funeral arrangements, we can settle the score for today's events."

He didn't act immediately, firstly because he knew he was no match for Nian'er and didn't want to cause unnecessary casualties, and secondly because Nian'er's changes were too strange; he had to find out the truth of the matter.

"Liquidation?"

Chu Canglan scoffed, his tone contemptuous and full of disdain: "Fine, I'll wait."

Su Haotian stopped looking at him, carefully picked up Su Qingwan's body, and turned to walk away with heavy steps.

On the way back to Qinxue Pavilion, Chu Canglan asked Yinyue, "Yue'er, why didn't you let me kill him too?"

Yin Yue glanced at him and said calmly, "He is Su Qingnian's biological father, but he was kept in the dark. He doesn't deserve to die. Besides, I don't want him to die in a daze. Even if I have to kill him, I want him to die knowing the truth."

After all, he did love Su Qingnian, but he treated his adopted daughter the same way. It's just a pity that he raised a venomous snake without realizing it.

"Furthermore, if we kill him, a fierce battle will be inevitable. In that case, innocent people will die tragically, while the real killer and accomplices may escape in the chaos."

"Most importantly, I know you are very powerful, but you are all alone. It's too risky to fight against the entire Tianyan Sect. Revenge is fine, but we can't risk our own lives."

"Moon".

Hearing Yin Yue's clear-headed and logical words, Chu Canglan couldn't take his eyes off her.

He suddenly felt that the Yue'er from before had returned.

Although she has no memory, she is still the same person.

Intelligent, calm, and clear about right and wrong.

Yinyue looked up at him: "What's wrong?"

"I'll listen to you."

"Listen to me?"

Chu Canglan nodded: "Mm."

Yin Yue curled her lips: "You didn't consult me ​​when you killed Su Qingwan."

As she spoke, the two maids walking in front stopped. "Young Miss, we've arrived at Qinxue Pavilion."

This is where Su Qingnian lives.

Inside, there were maids and servants who served her. When she reached the door, Yinyue stepped inside. Chu Canglan was about to follow when she was stopped by a maid.

"Young master, men and women should be separated. Please come with me to another residence."

Chu Canglan glanced at Yin Yue, and seeing that she was just looking at him indifferently without saying a word, he tightened his grip on his sword and had no choice but to turn around and follow the maid in another direction.

The maid led him, feeling the cold aura emanating from the man behind her. She knew it was him who had killed the Second Miss in front of the sect leader. She was terrified the whole way, fearing that he might stab her to death from behind if he was displeased.

After finally reaching her lodgings, the maid turned around, but there was no one in sight.

Ran?

The maid hurriedly left to report the matter to the sect leader.

Inside the Qinxue Pavilion, two old women sized up Yinyue. Seeing that her complexion was rosy and she walked without panting, they couldn't help but show a hint of suspicion in their eyes.

It's healed again?

They had just heard that the second young lady had been murdered. Could it be that she already knew that the second young lady had poisoned her?

The two old women were from Qinxue Pavilion, but they had long been bribed by Su Qingwan. Over the years, they had been working for Su Qingwan and keeping an eye on Su Qingnian's every move.

Especially when the Third Prince came to see Su Qingnian, she interfered in various ways to prevent the two of them from meeting alone.

Silver Moon had no memory of these events, but she knew that the two old women were not good people.

"What are you looking at? Disappointed that I'm not dead?"

The two old women's expressions changed drastically. They hurriedly lowered their heads, a flash of fear crossing their eyes, and bowed respectfully while trying to appear calm.

"You flatter me, young lady. I was just pleased to see that you look so well."

Yinyue ignored them and turned to go into the room.

Upon entering the house, she saw that Chu Canglan was already in her room.

"These two are definitely accomplices. I'm going to kill them."

"etc."

Yin Yue grabbed his hand: "Don't rush. Su Haotian needs time to find out the truth. You've killed everyone; how can he investigate?"

"oh."

Chu Canglan nodded, his gaze falling on the hand that Yin Yue was holding. Before the smile on his thin lips could even bloom, her hand released him the next second.

"Who gave you permission to come to my room?"

"...I'm worried about leaving you here alone."

"Then go next door."

"I don't."

"..."

Yinyue looked at him speechlessly.

She found that the man was becoming increasingly shameless.

"Moon, I'm your man, the kind of man who had a grand wedding. Even if you don't remember, you can't deny that we live in the same room, which is legal, reasonable, and compliant with the law."

Chu Canglan spoke with righteous indignation: "Besides, this place is really dangerous. You don't know martial arts and have no ability to protect yourself. I went through all sorts of hardships to save you. From now on, you must stay under my nose so I can feel at ease."

He said a lot, but Yin Yue only replied with one word.

"it is good."

accepted.

So... he agreed?

Happiness came so suddenly.

Chu Canglan, who had always been cautious and dared not overstep any boundaries, suddenly hugged Yin Yue and kissed her deeply on the cheek: "Yue'er, are you finally going to accept me?"

Yinyue covered her face, staring at him in astonishment.

Chu Canglan: "So cute."

He stared at Yinyue's face for a long time, then suddenly said in surprise, "Yue'er, I feel that your appearance... seems a little different from Su Qingnian's before."

"Why is it different?"

"It's just a feeling."

She seems to bear a striking resemblance to the Moon from before.

Silver Moon: "How long are you going to hold me like that?"

"oh."

Chu Canglan reluctantly let go.

And so he stayed in Silvermoon's room for two days.

The people of Tianyan Sect searched everywhere for him but couldn't find him.

It wasn't until the third day, after Su Qingwan's funeral arrangements were completed, that Su Hao finally arrived at Qinxue Pavilion.

After searching for so many days without finding anyone, he began to have doubts.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened the door, she saw the strange man standing in her daughter's room.

Su Haotian's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and he was filled with rage.

"You! How dare you stay in my daughter's boudoir without permission! This is simply... utterly disrespectful and outrageous!"

Chu Canglan raised his eyes and said matter-of-factly, "I saved her life. There are hidden dangers in this mansion. I stayed here to protect her life."

"Nonsense!"

Su Hao's face turned pale with anger, and he pointed at Chu Canglan, shouting angrily, "Nian'er is the daughter of the sect leader of my Tianyan Sect, my own flesh and blood. In my own residence, what danger could she possibly be in that requires a stranger of unknown origin to protect her? If word gets out, what will become of my daughter's reputation?"

Chu Canglan's brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to speak when Yin Yue stepped forward slowly.

"Father, three days have passed. Besides arranging your adopted daughter's funeral, haven't you thought about investigating the people around her and finding out the truth?"

"If you don't investigate, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. All those who have hurt me will die."

"Nian'er, you..."

Seeing his daughter's resolute and indifferent expression, Su Haotian felt a lump in his throat. He wanted to scold her, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

He didn't believe that Wanwan would do anything to hurt her sister, but... Nian'er had never lied since she was little.

Her sudden change in personality—is there really something else going on?

"Alright, I promise you, I will thoroughly investigate this matter."

As soon as these words were spoken, a crisp sound suddenly came from outside the door.

Hearing the commotion, the group went outside together.

On the ground, the porcelain bowl shattered, and scalding soup spilled all over the floor.

It was those two scheming old women who were standing at the door with a bowl of stewed tonic soup. When they heard the conversation inside, they were so frightened that their hands trembled and the soup bowls fell to the ground.

The two men turned deathly pale, terrified out of their wits, and fell to their knees with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Master, please forgive me. Young lady, please forgive me. This old servant... this old servant was just bringing you some tonic soup. It was an accident. It was not intentional."

Su Haotian was already in a bad mood, and when he saw the two reacting so abnormally, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

He said no more, only coldly, "Summon the doctor."

Before long, the physician from the manor rushed over, squatted down to examine the soup residue on the ground, and then took out a silver needle to test for poison.

However, the doctor's expression changed drastically in a short while.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, this soup contains a potent poison. This poison is insidious; a small amount would be difficult to detect, but this dose is extremely large. Once ingested, it will immediately sever all meridians, causing instant death with no chance of survival!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Qinxue Pavilion fell into a deathly silence.

Su Haotian was struck dumb, frozen in place, his gaze towards the two old women filled with disbelief and boundless rage.

"Guards, take these two wicked old women away and interrogate them thoroughly."

The two old women collapsed to the ground and were quickly dragged away.

Su Haotian's expression was complicated, and a hint of guilt lingered in his gaze as he looked at Yinyue: "Nian'er, I will find out the truth and give you an explanation. As for this person..."

He looked at Chu Canglan and said coldly, "After all, there is a difference between men and women. We can't let him live in Qinxue Pavilion in such an ambiguous way. If word gets out, it will damage your reputation."

"No need."

Before Chu Canglan could speak, Yin Yue said calmly, "On my wedding day, I was kidnapped, and my reputation was ruined. However, it was fortunate that I was kidnapped, otherwise I would not only have lost my reputation, but my life."

Upon hearing this, Su Haotian felt even more guilty.

He sighed heavily, turned around, and walked away quickly.

After he left, Yin Yue went to the desk and, based on her memories of the past month at Tianyan Sect and her observations over the past few days, made a list and handed it to Chu Canglan.

"Once he gets the truth out of us and kills all the people on the list, we'll leave."

Chu Canglan took it and glanced at it, a smile playing on his lips: "Alright, after we get our revenge, I'll take Yue'er home."

"go home?"

"Yes, the home you built with your own hands, our home."

It was almost lost, but fortunately, Mo Sangyu and Feng Xingyu had said that the management rights of Youdu City would belong to him permanently.

Yinyue nodded thoughtfully: "Before we go home, could you take me to see Miss Mo one last time?"

"certainly."

He remembered that Mo Sangyu had said that after Yue'er finished taking those medicines, she would need to ask her to do something so that Yue'er's body could fully recover.

Once we've avenged her, we'll take her to them immediately.

However, at this moment he did not know that no matter what the truth was, Su Haotian would not let this lecherous man who had ruined his daughter's reputation leave Tianyan Sect alive.
