Before going out for dinner, Song Siyao changed her clothes.

Big Yellow jumped and spun around, wagging its tail at her and making whimpering noises.

She knew that Dahuang wanted to come along, so she took it with her.

Most importantly, they all needed to go eat, and she was worried about leaving the little dog, Da Huang, alone, fearing someone might harm it.

"Big Yellow, where are you going?"

Song Siyao shouted and chased after him.

Big Yellow ran to a corner behind the Zhenbei Marquis's residence and stopped.

When Song Siyao caught up, she saw a man in black lying on the ground.

The man in black had his eyes closed and smelled of blood; he had been seriously injured and had fallen unconscious.

Big Yellow circled the man in black once, then lay down on the ground, looked up at Song Siyao pitifully, its eyes brimming with tears.

"You know him?"

Song Siyao squatted down and patted Dahuang's head.

Dahuang used its mouth to bite Song Siyao's sleeve and pull her towards the man in black. Its intention was clear: it wanted Song Siyao to save the man in black.

"Okay, since Big Yellow has spoken, I'll save him."

Song Siyao trusted Dahuang. Dahuang was very smart and intelligent, and this man in black must have a special relationship with Dahuang.

She took the man in black away.

They had barely entered the gates of the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion when several menacing guards caught up with them and arrived at the spot where the man in black had been lying.

"Are you sure he ran in this direction?" the leader of the guards asked.

“I’m sure.” A thin bodyguard squatted down and touched the ground. “Boss, look, there’s blood on the ground, and the bloodstains haven’t dried yet. He definitely hasn’t gone far.”

"Search!"

The guards circled the Zhenbei Marquis's residence but found no trace of it.

"Boss, we followed the bloodstains all the way here, but how come the people are gone and even the bloodstains have disappeared?" the skinny guard asked in confusion.

The leader of the secret guards looked up at the mansion in front of him, his gaze growing increasingly somber.

"Boss, do you mean he ran into the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion?" the skinny guard asked again.

"You all stay outside and keep watch. I'll go in and check. This person cannot be left alive," the leader of the guards said in a sinister voice.

"Boss, this is the Marquis of Zhenbei's residence!" the thin guard reminded him.

"So what if it's the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion? When the Marquis of Zhenbei was alive, the master didn't even take him seriously. Now that he's dead, leaving behind a foolish orphan girl, what's so scary about that?" After saying this, the leader of the secret guards flew directly into the Marquis of Zhenbei's mansion.

He searched all the way and finally arrived at Song Siyao's courtyard.

"Wang!"

"Woof woof!!"

Big Yellow barked wildly at the roof. Song Siyao was treating the man in black when she heard the barking and knew someone was outside.

She guessed that the person who had injured the man in black had arrived.

At the same time, the leader of the guards on the roof also smelled the blood emanating from the house below.

His eyes turned cold, and he was about to go directly from the roof into the house to kill someone when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He quickly turned around and saw Song Siyao standing in front of him with a smile.

He swiftly drew his sword and stabbed at Song Siyao.

However, Song Siyao was even faster than him.

Song Si waved his hand, and a golden needle flew out from his sleeve, piercing directly into one of his eyes.

"what!"

He covered his eyes, screamed, and then quickly turned and ran for his life.

Song Siyao stood on the rooftop, her smile vanished, replaced by a chilling aura.

She kept watching the leader of the guards escape, but did not chase after him, until the leader of the guards disappeared into the night.

She flew down from the roof and went inside, where she saw that the man in black had already woken up.

"Who are you?" Song Siyao asked directly. After all, this man's enemies had tracked him all the way to the Zhenbei Marquis's residence, and she had to find out the identity of the man in black in front of her.

The man in black stared at Song Siyao, too excited to speak. He rolled off the bed, struggled to kneel before Song Siyao, and shouted out a few words with all his might.

"Master, I have finally found you."

Song Siyao looked puzzled. "You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?"

Upon hearing the man in black's voice, Da Huang rushed in from outside, circling around him and sniffing the long-lost scent.

"Safety?"

The man in black, seeing Big Yellow, exclaimed with delight, "It really is you, Ping An! You saved me, didn't you?"

While he was unconscious, he heard Da Huang's voice, "Ping An, so you found the Pavilion Master a long time ago. You're amazing."

When Dahuang heard the praise, it wagged its tail even more vigorously, looking so proud that it seemed to be saying, "Keep praising me!"

"Can you sit by yourself?" Song Siyao asked the man in black.

"Yes." The man in black struggled to his feet, swayed, and almost fell again. Song Siyao quickly helped him up.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master."

The man in black looked at Song Siyao and said, "Sect Master, don't you remember me? I am Cang Yue. You even gave me my name. Where have you been these past two years? We've been looking for you."

"You say I am your sect leader, what proof do you have?" Song Siyao had no recollection of the man in black before her.

Cang Yue took out a token from his bosom and handed it to Song Siyao. "Sect Master, this is a token that you personally carved, and the words on it were also written by you."

Song Siyao took the token and saw that it had three characters engraved on the front: Tianji Pavilion.

The reverse side is engraved with one character: Fu.

The calligraphy and engraving on the token were all done by her.

Most importantly, the token is made of a material that is only found in her Soul-Capturing Bracelet.

Seeing Song Siyao's complicated expression, Cang Yue added, "Sect Master, the tokens of our four guardians were all made by your own hands. You said that this token is proof that you will recognize us as soon as you see it."

"My surname is Song, so why is there a character 'Fu' engraved on the back of the token?" Song Siyao asked.

Cang Yue looked surprised. "Sect Master, your surname is Fu, how come it's Song?"

Song Siyao stared at the token, wondering which part of the process had gone wrong.

"Hong Shao, come in." Song Siyao called out to the outside.

"Miss, you're looking for me?" Hongshao entered.

"Do you know him?" Song Siyao asked Hongshao, pointing at Cangyue.

Hongshao shook her head, "Miss, I don't know him."

Song Siyao looked at Cang Yue, who quickly said, "This subordinate doesn't know her either."

"Alright, Hongshao, you can go out now," Song Siyao instructed.

“Yes, Miss.” Hongshao walked out of the room. When she reached the door, she glanced back into the room and silently asked herself, “Miss, how many secrets did you keep from me back then? You must have had a very hard time.”

Miss, how painful it must be for you to recall the past.

Miss, I will always stay with you and protect you with my life.

Song Siyao was unaware of Hongshao's thoughts. She took out a pill from the medicine bottle and handed it to Cangyue, saying, "Take this medicine and tell me about Tianji Pavilion, and also about me back then."

She actually has an organization behind her and has taken in seven disciples. She is definitely not the fool Song Siyao that outsiders say she is.

She must be carrying a huge secret.

Otherwise, why would she do these things without even her closest friend, Hongshao, knowing?
