Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
One night, an uninvited guest made their way to Su Bin’s residence, concealing their identity behind a mask. Su Bin had forewarned two trusted guards not to interfere with the unexpected visitor.
Prior to this nocturnal encounter, Su Bin had received a cryptic letter from someone who had hinted at an impending visit, identifying themselves as an uninvited guest. This mysterious individual possessed extraordinary martial skills, capable of vanishing without a trace.
Before disappearing once more, this enigmatic guest left behind a pair of gleaming gold bars along with a note. The note expressed gratitude towards Su Ning, without specifying the identity of the youth whose life she had saved. It hinted that, had Su Ning not acted promptly, the young man might have perished from his injuries.
The note remained silent on the guest’s own identity but indicated a return visit within a day. Su Bin had a strong inkling as to the guest’s true identity, given the limited number of individuals in the world with such martial prowess. It was likely Lin Yue, the mentor of the Third Prince.
Beyond expressing gratitude to Su Ning, it was clear that Lin Yue had ulterior motives for delivering the gold bars. He sought to uncover the secrets held by Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen.
Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen were accustomed to discussing matters openly with each other. Su Bin turned to his wife and posed a question, “My love, if the Third Prince’s camp intends to involve us in their affairs, what course of action should we take? Should we agree to meet him?”
Qin Zhenzhen, having deciphered Su Bin’s penchant for strategic thinking, replied with a question of her own, “What are your thoughts?”
She understood that while Su Bin had his own plan in mind, he still valued her input and sought their decisions to be mutual.
On one hand, Su Bin treated Qin Zhenzhen with the utmost respect, but on the other hand, he harbored a hidden agenda, aiming to extract information from her.
Qin Zhenzhen sensed that Su Bin had a multitude of questions for her. She suspected that both she and her Fourth Brother were guarding some hidden truths from everyone.
Su Bin’s suspicions ran deep. He questioned whether Qin Zhenzhen had truly acquired her skills from her grandmother or if she possessed an extraordinary ability to foresee the future. His doubts even extended to her identity, pondering whether she was the original Qin Zhenzhen or not. After all, he was well aware of the profound affection she had for him, which set her apart from the previous owner of her body.
Nonetheless, Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t reveal the entirety of her secrets to Su Bin at this moment.
Observing that Qin Zhenzhen had returned the conversation to him, Su Bin shared, “Based on the information I’ve received, the individual who visited us appears to be Lin Yue, the mentor of the Third Prince.”
“He has already delivered the gold bars, and it seems we won’t have much choice when we meet again.”
“He possesses remarkable martial prowess, capable of facing dozens of adversaries in black. My two secret guards may not match his skill, and I don’t want them to discover the existence of the Dragon Phoenix Hall. Hence, my guards will remain inactive.”
Qin Zhenzhen regarded him with a thoughtful expression. “So, you already have a plan in mind. You intend to meet him. But what happens after the meeting?”
Su Bin had previously expressed his willingness to assist the Third Prince in dealing with the Crown Prince if the opportunity arose. If indeed it was the Third Prince’s agents who had sought him out, he might be unable to conceal his identity.
However, Su Bin possessed the acumen not to reveal his true self too hastily.
Su Bin shook his head and said, “Actually, I want to hear your thoughts on this matter. It’s about our future.’
“I believe we should approach this with careful consideration.”
“They might have noticed something about the Dragon Phoenix Hall, but I don’t want anyone to know about it yet.”
“Perhaps he came this time only to thank Sixth Sister for saving his disciple.”
“But we can’t rule out the possibility that they want to pull you and me into their camp.”
“I’ve been thinking about this for days..”
