Traveling through time and space, being replaced by a bride, happily married into a marquis's m

"Recruiting a martial arts master for Yan Canglan depends on whether Canglan himself likes him." Lu Yundi smiled and motioned Yan Canglan to come over to her.

Yan Canglan followed his mother's instructions and walked to her side. His gorgeous clothes sparkled in the sun, and the heroic spirit between his eyebrows made people look at him sideways. Lu Yundi looked at his son with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Lan'er, do you know?" Lu Yundi gently held Yan Canglan's hand, and his tone became softer, "When choosing a teacher, it is not only about his martial arts, but more importantly, his character. A person with strong martial arts but bad morals is not a good choice for our Yan Mansion."

Yan Canglan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood his mother's words. His eyes were firm and his expression was serious, and it was obvious that he took this matter very seriously.

"So, mother, what do you think I should choose?" Yan Canglan asked.

Lu Yundi smiled, and her eyes were full of love as she looked at Yan Canglan. "Lan'er, you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?" She gently patted Yan Canglan's hand, "Do what you think is right in your heart. Mother believes in your choice."

Yan Canglan heard this, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He looked at his mother deeply, then bowed and turned to leave the courtyard.

The courtyard was peaceful. The sunlight shone through the lush leaves and onto the bluestone road, creating mottled shadows. Yan Canglan's figure gradually moved away in the shadows, his back looking so firm and powerful.

Lu Yundi looked at his son's back, his heart filled with pride.

Others in the courtyard also began to discuss, and they all speculated which martial arts master Yan Canglan would choose. Some said it was Zhang Wenqi, some said it was Shen Dingli, and some said it was Zheng Zhiru.

"I think Canglan might choose Zhang Wenqi." An old servant of the Yan Mansion said, "Zhang Wenqi is a man of great martial arts and noble character. He is a talented person."

"I also think Zhang Wenqi is the most likely candidate." Another old servant agreed, "However, Shen Dingli and Zheng Zhiru are also good. They are also very skilled in martial arts."

At this moment, a figure walked out from the corner of the courtyard. The man was dressed in black, with a handsome face and deep eyes. He looked at Yan Canglan's back, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"Who do you think Yan Canglan will choose?" The man's voice was low and magnetic.

"Who are you?" The old servants of the Yan Mansion looked at the stranger and asked vigilantly.

"I'm Yan Canglan's friend, you can call me Yu Min." The man replied indifferently.

The old servants looked at each other and nodded.

"I think Yan Canglan will choose Zheng Zhiru." Yu Min looked at Yan Canglan's back and said firmly, "Because Zheng Zhiru is not only skilled in martial arts, but also kind-hearted. She is a rare talent."

After listening to Yu Min's analysis, the old servants nodded in agreement.

Yan Canglan walked into a room filled with various weapons and some martial arts books. He walked to a bookshelf and took down a thick martial arts book. He opened the book and read it carefully.

At this time, a figure walked out from the other side of the room. It was one of the martial arts masters of the Yan Mansion, named Shen Dingli. She looked at Yan Canglan and said with a smile: "Canglan, what book are you reading so seriously?"

Yan Canglan raised his head, looked at Shen Dingli, and said with a smile: "Master Shen, I am reading a book about martial arts. I want to find some inspiration from it so that I can practice martial arts better."

……

Seeing this, Yan Canglan immediately said with a straight face: "What are you afraid of? Just tell the truth."

Sijiu hesitated, his eyes flickering, as if he had some unspeakable secret.

Yan Canglan secretly glanced at Yan Canglan, only to see that he was pursing his lips and becoming more serious.

Sijiu's heart tightened, he gritted his teeth secretly, and finally made up his mind.

"Master, actually...actually that night, I saw some strange things in the corner of the wall in the back garden." Sijiu said with a trembling voice.

Yan Canglan frowned, his expression becoming more serious: "Strange things? Explain clearly."

Sijiu took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "That night, I saw... the white girl in the mansion. She was standing in the corner, as if waiting for something. Not long after, a man in black suddenly appeared behind her. She seemed very scared, but did not dare to speak. The man in black whispered something, and then they disappeared into the night together."

Yan Canglan's face changed drastically, with a flash of astonishment in his eyes: "You mean, Miss Bai and the man in black... are there problems with them?"

Sijiu nodded, his eyes full of worry: "Yes, Master. I think this matter is very important, so I have been hesitant whether to tell you."

Yan Canglan was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up and said with a firm look in his eyes: "Sijiu, you did a great job on this matter. From now on, you must pay close attention to Miss Bai's movements and tell me immediately if there is anything unusual."

Sijiu agreed, but felt increasingly uneasy.

Yan Canglan and Sijiu were both facing a formidable enemy, keeping a close eye on Miss Bai's movements. However, Miss Bai did not seem to be aware of their surveillance, and continued to act as usual.

That evening, Yan Canglan and Sijiu discussed countermeasures in the study. Sijiu hesitated and said, "Master, I don't think we can go on like this. There must be someone else around Miss Bai. We must find out the truth as soon as possible."

Yan Canglan nodded, a look of determination flashed in his eyes: "Sijiu, you are right. We can't wait any longer. Tomorrow night, you quietly follow Miss Bai and see where she goes. I will protect you in secret."

Sijiu looked at Yan Canglan with some concern: "Master, I am worried if you go alone."

Yan Canglan smiled and patted Sijiu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will be fine. As long as you do your job well, it will be your greatest support to me."

Sijiu nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

The next night, Sijiu quietly followed Bai Niang out of the house. In the dark, Bai Niang came to a dilapidated temple outside the city. After she went in, Sijiu hid in the dark and observed the surroundings nervously.

Suddenly, a man in black appeared behind Sijiu, and he nervously clenched the dagger in his hand. However, the man in black did not notice his presence, but went straight into the temple.

Sijiu followed carefully in, only to see the flickering candlelight in the temple, and the white girl talking to a man in black. Sijiu hid behind a pillar, holding his breath, and listened carefully.

"Miss Bai, do you have any news to tell me this time?" the man in black asked in a low voice.

Miss Bai hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I heard that the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion is investigating something recently, and they seem to have suspected me."

The black-clothed man's expression changed, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "They dare to doubt you? Don't worry, I will make them pay the price."

Miss Bai sighed softly: "I understand, but I don't want to go on like this. I don't want to be controlled by others anymore. I want to be free."

The man in black was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Okay, in that case, I will help you get rid of their control. But before that, you need to do something for me."

When Sijiu heard this, he felt something in his heart and immediately retreated quietly.
