Being favored by the paranoid master, the whole imperial capital kneels down

The intrusion of the Zhaoyong Marquis's mansion by the head of the military department quickly alarmed the entire Chu family.

When Lord Chu rushed out of his aunt's room, Nan Chenrao was already holding Nan Chuzheng, who had fainted from crying, and walked to the door of the front hall.

"How dare you barge into my..."

Lord Chu's words suddenly stopped when he saw the ghost mask on Nan Chenrao's face in the dark night.

His hair stood on end and he immediately bowed to Nan Chenrao.

"I wonder how a useless daughter like me could have offended the Master?"

"If there is any misunderstanding, please put this evil obstacle aside first."

Nan Chenrao snorted coldly, "Evil creature?"

The girl he raised with such care and love actually became a curse in the Chu family?!

For a moment, Nan Chenrao's eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to kill all these people with the surname Chu.

This way no one would compete with him for the zither.

However, Nan Chenrao's eyes fell on the face of the little girl in his arms.

Her eyes were swollen from crying.

As much as she had hoped to find her biological parents, Nan Chenrao is as hesitant now.

He didn't want to come to a point of fighting with Zheng'er.

Nan Chenrao was worried that if he touched Zheng'er's blood relatives, Zheng'er would hate him for the rest of her life.

"Paws!"

Nan Chenrao gave an order and Lord Chu, who was standing in front of him, was slapped in the face.

Lord Chu didn't even see clearly who hit him.

He was completely confused, not understanding how he had offended the eccentric and extremely powerful Lord of Yama.

"Master..."

Lord Chu wanted to ask something clearly, but Nan Chenrao had already walked forward.

He was pushed back by Yama Sizhong, who was dressed in black and had colorful ghost masks on his face.

When Lord Chu wanted to chase him again, two ghost masks blocked his way.

Silent coldness permeated Lord Chu's entire body.

"master!"

Zhou's worried voice sounded. She waited until all the Yama people had left the Chu family before she stepped forward and asked,

"Is that someone from Yama?"

"Why are they here?"

The Yama Division is the most mysterious organization in the Great Sheng Dynasty and is said to be directly under the emperor.

His power spans the imperial court and the underworld, and he specializes in handling some dirty and secret matters for the emperor.

No one knows what the members of this organization look like.

No one could even be sure whether they actually obeyed the emperor.

All I know is that wherever Yama Si passes, no one will care even if there are murders and arson, and corpses are everywhere.

These Yama Si people are spread across the court and the martial arts world, and no one knows whether the people around them are actually from Yama Si.

If they appear as Yama's deities, they must wear black clothes and a colorful mask on their faces.

In short, the Yama Division is something that the small Zhaoyong Marquisate cannot afford to offend.

Zhou's face turned pale. "They actually took Chu Zheng away!"

For a moment, a trace of worry flashed through Zhou's heart.

But she soon turned around and asked her confidante,

"Did the Yama Division's people do anything to Jingyue?"

The confidant nanny shook her head.

"When they came in, they were unnoticed and only knocked out the two servants guarding the woodshed."

Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Jingyue was fine.

As for Nan Chuzheng, Zhou frowned, thinking that this girl was troublesome.

"How on earth did she offend the people of Yanluo Si?"

Lord Chu looked stern and impatient.

"Call the prince back and ask him to investigate."

The Chu family is gradually going downhill and is no longer as powerful as it was decades ago when the old marquis was alive.

So if Nan Chuzheng really offended Yan Luosi, the Chu family would not be able to protect her.

I can only hope that she doesn't go to Yama's Court and say things she shouldn't say, dragging the Chu family into trouble.

The cool night wind blew into the spacious house, and the ground was shining with the soft light of wood, clean and spotless.

The faint light from a candle fell on Nan Chuzheng.

She slowly opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of a man.

"woke up?"

A familiar magnetic sound rang out and entered Nan Chuzheng's ears.

She suddenly pushed the chest in front of her and looked around.

There was no one in the room except Nanchen Rao who was holding her.

"You, huh?"

Nan Chuzheng raised her eyes and looked at the ghost mask on Nan Chenrao's face.

She hadn't been held like this by him for many years.

As far as she could remember, before she returned to the Chu family, she was very resistant to Nan Chenrao's closeness.

It was really because some of Nan Chenrao's actions towards her had already crossed the line between men and women.

She subconsciously sensed something was wrong, resisted, escaped, and desperately wanted to draw a clear line between herself and Nan Chenrao.

In the end, he naturally used Nanchen Rao's power to help the Chu family and support Qin Lang to take the throne.

She deserves to be damned.

Nan Chuzheng's eyes were red again, and her head rested on Nan Chenrao's arm.

At this moment, the two of them were lying on the bed with their clothes on.

Nan Chenrao's wide sleeves covered Nan Chuzheng's body.

Encircling her completely.

Nan Chenrao moved. He thought Nan Chuzheng was crying because he hugged her without her permission.

She didn't like his closeness.

So he suppressed his inner disappointment and anger and planned to get up.

Nan Chuzheng's slender and white fingers held the mask on his face.

Nan Chenrao was stunned for a moment.

The heavy black and gold mask was slowly lifted in Nan Chuzheng's hands, revealing a thin and handsome face.

Because it has been hidden in darkness for many years, the skin of this face is cold and white.

This is the true face of the Lord of Yama that no one has ever seen.

Whether in the court or in the martial arts world, anyone who wants to peek at the true face of the Lord of Yama behind this ghost mask will know.

They will all die without a burial place.

"Really..." Nan Chuzheng's fingers were weak, the heavy black and gold mask fell on the pillow, and her tears slid down.

"long time no see."

And, sorry again.

"Why are you crying all the time?" Nan Chenrao frowned slightly, folded his arms, and hugged Nan Chuzheng tighter.

He hugged her tighter under his wide sleeves.

Nan Chenrao raised his hand and wiped away Nan Chuzheng's tears with his cool fingertips, murderous intent swirling in his eyes.

"The Chu family treats you badly?"

Nan Chuzheng was like a child who had found his parents, with a curled mouth.

"They bullied me and asked me to marry a poor prince, but I didn't want to."

"Qin Lang?" Nan Chenrao snorted, "Then I'll go kill him."

Obviously he had received the message a long time ago.

It was just because Nan Chuzheng didn't want him to go to the Chu family, and for fear of her getting angry, he had been restraining himself from going to see her.

Nan Chuzheng buried her face in Nan Chenrao's clothes.

No one noticed that Nan Chuzheng, who had always been very spoiled and innocent, had a hint of hostility in her eyes.

"He's just a nobody. Killing him would only dirty your hands."

How could Qin Lang die so easily?

She hadn't tortured him properly yet, and was returning the pain he had inflicted on her and Nan Chenrao bit by bit.

Wouldn't it be too unsatisfying to just let Qin Lang disappear from this world?

Nan Chenrao thought Nan Chuzheng was still concerned about the Chu family.

He snorted and stopped talking in a depressed tone.

But there was something that made him happy tonight.

Zheng'er, who had not allowed anyone to get close to her for a long time, finally let him hug her.

He remembered that the two of them had not been like this for a long time.

Ever since Zheng'er had her period, she didn't allow them to have any physical contact.

Nan Chenrao turned over and pressed Zheng'er in his arms under him.
