Rebirth is not a dream.

Qin Yi walked out of Su Garden with a gloomy face, turned to look at Jiang Yuan behind him, and asked in a cold tone: "Have you found out where those killers came from?"

Jiang Yuan replied respectfully: "In response to Third Young Master's words, according to the current situation, there are three groups of people with different identities and backgrounds. One group attempted to kidnap the target person, another group came directly to take someone's life, and as for the last group, the purpose is unknown."

Qin Yi frowned and asked, "Is there anyone from the Marquis' Mansion involved?"

Jiang Yuan quickly shook his head and explained, "After a careful investigation, there is nothing suspicious about the people in the Marquis' Mansion. After all, the price offered by the Killer Pavilion is very high, and ordinary people simply cannot afford it. In addition, we found that a group of people among them came from the newly rising Seven Star Alliance in the martial arts world. This organization has a wide range of interests and a variety of businesses. There are professional killers who kill and rob, as well as guards responsible for protecting important people, and even involved in the reselling of intelligence. However, they do have a clear bottom line, which is that they will never attack children under the age of fourteen. As for the other group of guys who attempted to take hostages, their true identities and origins have not yet been found out."

Qin Yi continued to ask: "So, is Lu Anruo involved?"

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "Last time, Miss An Ruo was confined to her home by Madam Lu for some reason, and she has not behaved abnormally since then."

Qin Yi: "You should pay more attention to the Seven Star Alliance."

Jiang Yuan: "Yes."

After Qin Yi returned to the academy, Li Yanche came up to him and said with a worried look on his face: "Qin Yi! Where have you been these days? The autumn examination is only half a month away, and Mr. Wen has looked for you several times!" Qin Yi heard this and quickly responded: "I'm so sorry, my wife suddenly fell ill, and I have to rush home to take care of her." After that, Qin Yi hurriedly left the academy and walked towards Mr. Wen's yard.

When Qin Yi stepped into Mr. Wen's study, he stepped forward respectfully and saluted, saying, "Teacher, I am here to greet you."

When Wen Daru saw Qin Yi, he immediately became serious. He said earnestly: "Qin Yi, where have you been these days? Why don't you come to the academy to study? You know, there is only half a month left before the autumn exam, so you must not take it lightly!"

Qin Yi hurriedly explained: "Please rest assured, teacher, it is because my wife suddenly fell ill and needed my personal care, so I was unable to come to the academy.

"Wen Daru asked: "How is her condition now? Has it improved?" Qin Yi replied as if relieved: "Thank you for your concern, teacher. My wife's condition has improved a lot."

After hearing this, Wen Daru was slightly relieved, but he still reminded Qin Yi: "Last time, you almost missed the imperial examination because of the matter in the backyard. You must learn from your lesson and handle it carefully this time. Don't let such things affect your studies and future again."

Qin Yi nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood the interests involved and would be extra careful.

Wen Daru patted Qin Yi on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you think this way. The road to the imperial examination is difficult, and you must go all out. Since you have been delayed for some time, you should work harder now. From today on, you will live in the academy and don't go home."

Qin Yi was filled with gratitude, "Thank you very much, sir. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Su Mingyuan came to a small house in Pingminfang. The house looked unremarkable from the outside, as if it was just an ordinary and dilapidated house. However, when he walked into the house, he found that it seemed that no one had lived here for a long time, and the air was filled with a dilapidated and desolate atmosphere.

In the corner of the room, there was a stone mill. Su Mingyuan walked up to it and pushed it gently. The stone mill slowly turned, and then a hidden door appeared on the ground. Su Mingyuan walked down the steps without hesitation and entered the basement.

The basement was dimly lit and the atmosphere was depressing. Standing in the corner was a man in black, butler Liu. Su Mingyuan walked straight up to him and asked firmly, "Father, why do you treat Yue'er like this? Sister Ying doesn't want Yue'er to be involved in these things at all."

Butler Liu frowned and said in a deep voice: "Bei Yan is behind all this. They sowed discord and caused the Su family to be wiped out! Don't you understand?" Su Mingyuan widened his eyes and retorted: "But what does this have to do with Yue'er?"

Housekeeper Liu said sternly, "She is the daughter of Emperor Yan! How could she stay out of this?" Su Mingyuan shook his head and insisted on his opinion, "Sister Ying has never wanted Yue'er to return to Beiyan. If they really wanted to go back, how could they not have revealed any news to Beiyan for so many years?"

Butler Liu took a deep breath and said slowly: "That's because Chen Hong is the murderer who killed her grandfather! So they will never have any connection with Beiyan." Su Mingyuan was stunned. He had never thought that there was such a reason.

After a moment of silence, Su Mingyuan spoke again: "Father, I understand your desire for revenge, but please don't involve Yue'er."

Butler Liu frowned and said, "I really didn't mean to hurt Yue'er! I just wanted to find out the secret your cousin left behind."

After hearing this, Su Mingyuan stared at Butler Liu and answered firmly, "Yue'er knows nothing about my cousin's secret. Father, you don't need to test her. My cousin's only wish is that Yue'er can live in peace. She has never even revealed her true life experience to her. Naturally, Yue'er has no way of knowing anything else."

Butler Liu didn't seem to believe what Su Mingyuan said. He questioned, "Your cousin has always behaved strangely and unconventionally. How can you be sure that she didn't leave anything behind to protect Yue'er?"

Su Mingyuan sneered and asked, "Then has father found the so-called secret? Your actions just now almost caused Yue'er to die! If someone hadn't come to her rescue in time, I'm afraid Yue'er would have become a wronged soul under your knife!" At this point, Su Mingyuan's eyes were full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Housekeeper Liu: "Why don't you go find the person who saved Yue'er? He might know your cousin's secret! Why are you hanging around here and nagging me?"

Su Mingyuan widened his eyes and glared at Liu Guankong, his voice unconsciously rising eight octaves: "Is revenge the only thing that matters to you, father? Yue'er is also a child you have watched grow up, don't you feel sorry for her at all? The reason why Yue'er accidentally fell into the water during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year was not because you, father, deliberately sent away Nanny Tao and the others, giving those sinister villains in the Marquis' Mansion the opportunity to murder Yue'er? Yue'er almost lost her life, don't you, father, feel any guilt at all?" By the end, Su Mingyuan's eyes were red and his voice was slightly choked.

Butler Liu frowned and said helplessly: "I really have no other way! I have been looking for your cousin's elite force known as the 'Eighteen Dragon Tiger Army' for a long time but to no avail. I had no choice but to look for clues from Yue'er." Su Mingyuan widened his eyes and scolded angrily: "You almost killed Yue'er! Have you gained anything now? If Yue'er encounters an accident, how can you be worthy of your cousin?" Butler Liu gritted his teeth and showed bitterness: "It's all because your cousin was unwilling to hand over the Left Dragon Tiger Army to me. , she is bent on obstructing my road to revenge. On one side is her brother, and on the other side is her husband, but both of them have an irreconcilable hatred with me for killing my father! I swear I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!" Su Mingyuan stood up straight, his eyes were like torches, and he responded without flinching: "If you insist on revenge, you can do it on your own. Why force your cousin? Why do you want to harm Yue'er? Now that my cousin has passed away, please let Yue'er go!" His eyes were full of earnestness and determination, as if telling the deepest desire in his heart. Butler Liu stared at his son in front of him, and his heart was entangled. Finally, he sighed heavily, nodded helplessly, and promised to obey Su Mingyuan's request.
