under night.

A person dressed in black swept over the rows of houses and finally landed in a courtyard.

Immediately, he knelt before the door, head bowed, respectful and awe-inspiring.

"master!"

A moment later, a languid yet cold male voice came from inside the room:

"Say!"

The man in black remained motionless.

"Master, our people have been keeping a close eye on the two Wu sisters. However, there's been absolutely no news about that thing. Could it be that it doesn't even exist?"

The male voice was resolute:

"No, based on my understanding of him, he would never do something without making any preparations. At that time, the only person who could have passed that thing out was the Wu sisters' father. And I'm certain that the thing is now definitely in the hands of the Wu sisters. However, whether they know about it or not is hard to say. In short, keep a close eye on them, and search everything around them again when you have the chance. Keep searching until you find the thing."

The man in black nodded:

"Yes, master."

After a slight hesitation, the man in black continued:

"Master, there is one more thing."

After a brief pause, seeing no sound from inside, he continued:

"When our people were keeping an eye on Umanyu, they discovered that there were other people watching her as well."

The male voice grew colder and deeper:

"Do you know who it is?"

The man in black nodded:

"It's been found out. The person watching Wu Manyu is her brother-in-law Yu Moyan's servant."

The male voice trailed off thoughtfully:

"Brother-in-law~?"

The man in black continued:

"Actually, at first I didn't think it was a big deal. After all, Wu Manyu wasn't doing well, and it was understandable that Yu Moyan, as her brother-in-law, would be worried and send someone to keep an eye on her. However, Yu Moyan has another identity; he was once a student at Songhe Academy."

The male voice focuses on the key points:

"Was?"

The man in black continued:

"He lost his leg in an accident."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something, lowered his head even further, and hurriedly said:

"Master, I'm sorry, I..."

The male voice was impatient:

"Okay, continue."

The man in black finally breathed a slight sigh of relief and said:

"But recently, Bai Chongshan suddenly started applying to reinstate Wu Manyu's student status. And just at this time, he, who had never paid attention to Wu Manyu before, sent his servant to keep an eye on her. It's too much of a coincidence."

A male voice hummed softly:

“Coincidence? I never believe in coincidences. It would be strange if Bai Chongshan, that old scholar and stubborn old man, were willing to break the rules and make an exception to restore Yu Moyan’s student status. There must be something going on here.”

The man in black hurriedly said:

"Yes, Master. Do you think it's possible that the person above already knows the true identities of the Wu sisters? If so, should we... silence them?"

The male voice remained silent for a while before speaking again:

"Don't rush. Besides keeping an eye on the Wu sisters, also keep a close eye on Yu Moyan and Bai Chongshan. Report to me immediately if anything seems amiss."

The man in black nodded and was about to get up.

The male voice suddenly rang out again:

"Leave some blank space, just a little longer, and I will definitely lead you into the sunlight."

A hint of moisture instantly welled up in the black-clad man's dark eyes as he forced a trembling voice to speak:

"Master, we believe in you!"

After speaking, he slowly disappeared into the darkness, as if he had never appeared at all.

Inside the room, by the window.

A man slightly raised his head, staring out the window at the star-studded night sky, remaining motionless for a long time.

On his perfectly handsome face, with its sharp angles and chiseled features, were a pair of dark eyes as deep and captivating as a thousand-year-old icy pool.

Her slightly pursed thin lips, set against her snow-white skin, gave her an air of aloofness that kept people at a distance.

The flickering candlelight trembled gently, enveloping him and giving him a strange, contradictory aura that made people both want to keep their distance and irresistibly drawn to him.

The man gazed at the starry sky for a long time, his long, slender hands with distinct knuckles slowly clenching into fists on his legs, which were covered with black veins and were obviously atrophied and deformed.

whispering:

"Mom, don't worry."

"Your son will persevere until he has obtained the justice he deserves, for you, for your maternal grandfather's family, for the soldiers who followed him and shed their blood on the battlefield, and for all those who are still struggling in the darkness, refusing to yield or give up. Only then will he come to join you!"

At this point, he suddenly coughed.

He quickly grabbed a handkerchief and covered his mouth, coughing for a while before slowly recovering.

However, the snow-white handkerchief that was taken down was soaked with a large bloodstain!

The man, however, seemed used to it, but he clutched the handkerchief tightly in his hand.
