Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life

Not far from the fight stood a mysterious man, also dressed in black, wearing a mask, and about eight feet tall.

This man, just by standing there, exuded a sense of oppression. "Master, the assassination attempt failed. We were rescued by two mysterious figures who suddenly appeared. A man and a woman; judging from their movements, the woman was the man's master. The man was the one who carried out the attack, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he killed everyone present."

The woman also possessed medical skills. And as they left, the man carried his master and flew through the air. The man in black, kneeling on the ground, finally spoke, not daring to lift his head!

Just moments ago, the man in black was pondering how to report this rather bizarre incident to his master! Should he tell the truth or not, given how incredibly strange the way those two left was?

Even though his master's martial arts skills were virtually unmatched in the world, the saying "there are always people more powerful than you" was now perfectly exemplified. Today, he had encountered someone even more formidable than his master.

Given his master's arrogance, if he told the truth, wouldn't his master take it out on him? These points explain why the man in black hesitated, unsure whether to tell the truth or not!

"You mean, he flew, not using light-body skills?" The man lowered his eyes and looked at the man on the ground.

“Yes, I saw it clearly; it was definitely flying in the sky.” The man in black nodded affirmatively. “They flew away after walking for a while and getting quite far away from those people.”

The mysterious man narrowed his eyes, pondering to himself. It was truly rare to find someone in this world who could actually fly, rather than relying on nimble footwork.

If we could recruit such talents to our side… Thinking of this, he said, “No matter what, we must find these two people. Especially the man who can fly; we absolutely cannot let him fall into the wrong hands. Can you see their faces clearly?”

"Master, I dared not approach, so I could not see clearly. The woman was wearing a mask the whole time. The man wasn't wearing one, but I still couldn't see his face!"

"Your next task is to find them before dawn!"

"Master, shall we continue the assassination?"

"No need. Now is not the best time for assassination. The most urgent thing is to find someone."

"Yes, Master." The man in black acknowledged the order and quickly departed to begin investigating the whereabouts of the two individuals. Thus began a manhunt for the flying beings…

After Su Yinyin left, Li Yan and the others immediately set off towards the capital.

Li Yan lay in the carriage, recalling what had just happened. She went through every single detail in her mind.

The assassinations had left Li Yan completely exhausted. If it weren't for Su Yinyin tonight, all of them would have been beheaded.

The name Su Yinyin swirled in her mind. Was she Su Yinyin, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongyi? She wondered what connection the two of them had.

Are they the same person?

In Li Yan's memory, Su Yinyin's reputation in the capital can be summed up in six words: a completely useless person.

Li Yan had been away from Beijing for several years and knew nothing about what had happened there.

Su Yinyin, from the Marquis of Yiyong's mansion, was a well-bred young lady who rarely left her home.

This doesn't match Su Yinyin's demeanor at all tonight. Furthermore, the man beside Su Yinyin calls her "Miss," and this man is indeed Su Yinyin's subordinate.

Such a skilled martial artist is rare even in large families. Take the Li family, for example; they've never produced such a master.

If Su Yinyin can be the master of a powerful person, then she is definitely not as simple as she appears on the surface.

Such a capable person deserves to befriend, and a good relationship must be cultivated.

Li Yan decided that after arriving in the capital, she would find an opportunity to inquire about Su Yinyin's situation.

All she could do then was wait for Su Yinyin to remember her and come to her. She had a feeling, deep down, that Su Yinyin might have more interactions with her in the future.

The night appeared peaceful, but undercurrents were swirling beneath. Only Su Yinyin was sleeping soundly in the inn, oblivious to everything. She knew that Lao Wu would secretly protect her, so she slept with a clear conscience.

Meanwhile, the man in black was ordered to search for Su Yinyin with all his might. However, after some tracking, he discovered that the two seemed to have vanished without a trace.

They had no choice but to bite the bullet and report to their master.

The mysterious man said, "Give the order to search within a hundred li radius towards the capital for any unusual carriages or people."

"Yes, Master." After receiving the order and direction, the man in black immediately began his investigation.

After the mysterious man finished his business, he returned to the post station, which was also where Su Yinyin was staying.

The mysterious man sensed something unusual as soon as he entered the inn. It was an indescribable feeling, like the oppressive presence of someone powerful, leaving him feeling powerless and uneasy.

After returning to his room, the mysterious man calmed down and carefully sensed that someone was watching him in the dark, but after several rounds of investigation, he found nothing unusual.

The mysterious man decided to hold back for now and see what would happen next.

The mysterious man's intuition was correct. Whenever someone entered the post station, Lao Wu would secretly observe them to rule out anyone who might be a threat to Su Yinyin.

The next morning, Su Yinyin stretched and yawned as she walked out of her room.

If it weren't for the hard bed in the inn, the unpleasant smell of the quilt, and the cold room that kept Su Yinyin from sleeping, she would have remained in a daze the whole time. Hearing noises outside, Su Yinyin couldn't sleep any longer and simply got up.

Today, Su Yinyin was dressed entirely in men's clothing. Her hairstyle was even simpler: a white cloth tied up her hair. Simple, convenient, but also a bit incongruous.

Su Yinyin went downstairs to the lobby and looked for an empty table that could seat six people.

"Hey buddy, six bowls of meat congee, a plate of pickled vegetables, six baskets of meat dumplings, six baskets of meat buns, and a serving of stir-fried greens, please!" Su Yinyin shouted.

Su Yinyin knew that as soon as she got up, Bixia and Biyu would appear in front of her.

In fact, Bixia and the others had gotten up very early to prepare to serve their mistress.

Unexpectedly, Su Yinyin came out of the room and went straight downstairs, without giving them a chance to serve her.

Seeing their mistress come downstairs, they knew she was hungry. They followed her downstairs as well.

They all took their seats next to Su Yinyin. Bixia was already used to sitting next to Su Yinyin, so she could serve her.

As soon as Su Yinyin walked out of the room, Lao Wu knew it and followed her down. He sat down next to Su Yinyin.

Just then, the mysterious man came downstairs. He saw Su Yinyin's outfit and couldn't help but feel curious.

He walked to the table next to Su Yinyin and sat down, glancing at her casually.

That one glance was enough to stir the mysterious man's heart.
