Each world be

in the room.

Shen Yan looked down coldly at Governor Yin who was sleeping and breathing steadily, and walked around the room slowly.

I have searched the study today, but didn't find any secret passages.

I guess the sword-fighting secrets won't be kept there.

Pick up the blue and white vase in the corner, there is nothing special about it.

I put it down casually and pushed and touched the wall for a long time, but still nothing happened.

"Lin Yan, what are you doing!" At some point, the prefect lying on the bed opened his eyes and questioned the man in the room with a look of surprise.

"Father-in-law is awake." Shen Yan turned sideways and smiled, as naturally as if this was his own room.

"I just want to see if there are any good things hidden in my father-in-law's room."

"You are looking for swordsmanship." Governor Yin said with certainty, "Who are you?"

"You actually discovered it." Shen Yan said in an exaggerated tone of surprise, with a smile on his face all the time.

"But so what? Lord Yin, you can't protect yourself now."

The governor struggled to get up but found that he could not control his body and could not move. His face suddenly turned panicked: "What's wrong with my body?"

"Prefect Yin was poisoned by Wei Hu and has been sleeping all day. He won't live long." Shen Yan announced this cruel result to him lightly, with a smile on his face like a devil from hell.

Governor Yin took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to harm me?"

"An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure. I wonder if Lord Yin understands this principle?" Shen Yan slowly approached and sat on a chair beside him.

"As long as Governor Yin tells me the truth about where the secret manual of Qingguang Sword Technique is, I can consider letting you go."

"I told you, I don't know any secrets at all!" The governor glanced away.

Shen Yan had an indifferent expression as he leisurely played with the teacup in his hand.

"Lord Yin is really being stubborn. Anyway, you are seriously poisoned and will not live long, but your daughter is still living in the mansion safely."

"You!" The governor glared angrily.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across.

The cold wind was blowing violently and the candlelight in the room flickered, making his expressionless face look even more weird and cruel.

"Click——"

The sound of lightning suddenly rang out, followed by bean-sized raindrops falling with strong winds, and the half-open windows rustled.

Shen Yan raised his eyebrows calmly and looked towards the window.

Shi Qing was startled by the sudden lightning. Seeing Shen Yan looking at her, she suddenly retracted her head, bent down and ran away while taking advantage of the loud rain.

Shen Yan walked to the window, glanced at the window vaguely, then closed the window indifferently, turned around and said with a smile: "Master Yin, have you made up your mind?"

the other side.

Shi Qing covered his wildly beating heart with one hand and jogged hurriedly. Only when he saw that no one was chasing him did he stop and take a deep breath.

There were lightning, thunder, wind and rain, and the corners of her skirt were inevitably wet by the water splashing from the eaves.

I looked around with my eyes rolling around. It seemed to be a yard, but I didn't know who it belonged to.

Just a few meters in front of her, orange candles were already lit in the room.

Looking at the familiar specifications, she suddenly realized that this was Yin Xinyue's yard.

She straightened her dress and knocked on the door gently.

"Who?" A woman's hoarse voice came from the room.

"Sister Yin, it's me."

The door in front of Shi Qing was opened by the maid, "Miss Lin, please come in."

Shi Qing nodded and walked in, only to see Yin Xinyue wearing only a tight-fitting top, sitting on the bed and looking at her listlessly, "Sister Lin Qing, why are you here?"

"I saw lightning and thunder outside, and I was alone in the room. I was scared, so I came to find Sister Yin." Lin Qing replied in a delicate voice, "I wonder if I disturbed Sister Yin's rest?"

"It's okay, I just woke up." Yin Xinyue shook her head and said softly.

Shi Qing sat on the bench beside the bed, frowning and saying, "It's mainly because the thunder is so loud that it scares me."

"So you are afraid of thunder, too." Yin Xinyue laughed softly, "I was just like you. I was also awakened by the thunder just now."

"Really? Then Sister Yin and I get along very well." She looked at Yin Xinyue in surprise and giggled.

Yin Xinyue looked at the heavy rain outside and said with emotion: "I remember there was such a heavy rain when I was a child."

Shi Qing didn't say anything, but waited for her next words with a pair of curious eyes.

Yin Xinyue looked into her pure eyes and suddenly felt the desire to confide in her.

"I was sleeping at the time, but was suddenly awakened by thunder and lightning in the middle of the night. The room was pitch black, and I was scared, so I ran out to find my dad. But when I opened my dad's door, I found that he was not there at all."

"Daddy, I want to find you." Little Yin Xinyue cried and made a fuss.

"Miss, the master has gone out for something and will be back soon. Be good and don't cry."

The nanny comforted the frightened little girl over and over again, and wiped away the tears as big as beans on her face.

However, Xiao Xinyue waited for a whole night but her father did not come back.

It was not until the early morning that I heard the servants talking noisily.

"Daddy, is Daddy back?" She suddenly woke up from the nightmare, jumped out of bed and ran out the door.

"Miss, the master has gone to Xiangzhu Garden." The maid guarding the door said to her.

Xiao Xinyue ran to Xiangzhuyuan with her short legs regardless of anything, and as expected, she saw her father who had been missing all night.

He was soaking wet, his hair was dripping with raindrops against his face, and his eyes had an expression that she couldn't understand at the time.

Sadness, numbness, and a hint of fear.

"Daddy..." When she saw the familiar person, her face wrinkled, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she started crying in grievance.

The father who doted on her in the past did not say anything to comfort her this time, nor did he care about his wet clothes.

He just held her tightly in his arms without saying a word.

"When I came back, dad didn't come to see me for the first time. Instead, he went to Xiangzhuyuan with a nervous look on his face. I thought at that time that dad was going to leave me." Yin Xinyue looked nostalgic and sighed softly.

Shi Qing asked doubtfully: "Xiangzhuyuan, is this also a courtyard in the mansion?"

Yin Xinyue nodded, "Xiangzhuyuan, that's my mother's yard. After she passed away, my father sealed the yard, saying that he was afraid of being reminded of the past. In fact, he often went there to clean it in his free time. But he didn't allow outsiders to enter, not even me."

"Lord Yin is truly devoted to Madam Yin."

Shi Qing said with envy, and then casually said: "Sister Yin, do you still remember how old you were at that time?"

Yin Xinyue thought for a moment and replied, "Probably when I was five or six years old. By the way, why are you asking this?"

Shi Qing said obediently: "Just asking casually."

Yin Xinyue is around 20 years old now, five or six years old, so that was fifteen years ago.

This timeline just happens to coincide with the Xiao family's massacre. Is it a coincidence?

When I came out of Yin Xinyue's room, the heavy rain had gradually subsided.

After wandering around the mansion, Lin Qing finally returned to his room.

Qianqian's slender hands pushed open the door, Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, and was suddenly shocked, with a chill running down his back.

The room was clearly pitch black, but she saw a dark shadow sitting eerily on her bed.
