Zhuo Sikong is a name that was mentioned once in a remote corner of the original work, but Yin Yin remembered him because of the disciple he taught, who single-handedly caused the Lin family's disaster.

That's right, it was this disciple of Zhuo Sikong who broke into Lin Jingjing's small building while robbing the Lin family. Later, after drinking with others, he overheard people discussing who was the most beautiful woman in the martial arts world and said that none of their names were worth mentioning. The most beautiful woman was Lin Jingjing, the eldest daughter of the wealthy Lin family, who was truly the most beautiful woman in the world.

If someone else had said this, perhaps others wouldn't have believed it, but since it was Zhuo Sikong's apprentice, many people believed it. From then on, Lin Jingjing's beauty became the object of covetousness, and it also brought disaster upon the Lin family.

Lin Jingjing, who was living a happy life and had even started planning to get married, lost everything in a single day and became someone else's possession, a symbol that was fought over by others.

Later, this man learned about the Lin family's situation and realized that his words had brought about their annihilation. He felt very guilty and even considered rescuing Lin Jingjing. However, he lacked the ability, and Lin Jingjing didn't treat him well, so he had to give up.

After going through many more things, Lin Jingjing finally had a relatively stable life and a child. Unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long, and her home was once again destroyed by someone who coveted her beauty and reputation. At this point, Lin Jingjing had no choice but to let him take her child away.

After taking the child away, Zhuo Sikong's apprentice entrusted him to his master, who had retired from the martial world, to raise. Zhuo Sikong himself never appeared again after leaving, and his fate is unknown.

This child is the male protagonist, and Zhuo Sikong is the grandfather who was the male protagonist's childhood grandfather. He didn't have a name at first, but his identity was revealed once in the story.

Thinking about all this, Yin Yin's anger slowly grew. If Zhuo Sikong only had one disciple, wouldn't that mean that the thief was the one who harmed the Lin family?

Don't even mention that the thief later helped Lin Jingjing and was kind to the male lead. If it weren't for him, Lin Jingjing and the Lin family would still be fine; why would they need him to do them any favors?

The Third Young Master was startled by the raging anger in her eyes. He coughed lightly before saying to Young Master Xiaoyuan, "Your sister has quite a temper."

Young Master Xiaoyuan had never seen Yinyin so angry before, and quickly said, "It's because that Master Zhuo and his apprentice are too hateful. My sister rarely goes out, who would have thought that she would encounter such a disaster as soon as she does."

The third young master nodded, and when he looked at Yin Yin again, he felt even more pity for her.

"Don't worry, the imperial court will definitely not let a wicked bandit leader like Zhuo Sikong go unpunished. Never take the words of evil people to heart, otherwise anger will harm your health, and you will be the one who suffers."

Yinyin came to her senses, first thanked the Third Young Master for his comfort, and then made a suggestion: "Then we hope that the court will investigate thoroughly how many disciples this Zhuo Sikong has."

"It's not like these apprentices were all spotted by him on the street, and he just forcefully took them from their homes with a few words, and in the end they had to be grateful to him."

"The thought of such a situation is disgusting."

The third young master nodded in agreement: "The imperial court will definitely investigate very thoroughly."

Seeing that Yin Yin had recovered her spirits, the Third Young Master did not linger any longer and left after bidding farewell to the two of them.

Young Master Xiaoyuan waited until he was out of sight before bowing and apologizing to Yinyin.

Yinyin quickly stepped aside, asking, "What are you doing, Brother Yuan?"

Young Master Ohara said, "I originally wanted to take you, my sister, to have some fun, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing, and it almost ruined your reputation."

“Brother Yuan, please don’t say that,” Yin Yin said seriously. “This person wasn’t arranged by you, so how can you blame yourself? You spent so much time showing me around today, so I should be the one thanking you properly.”

Young Master Ohara quickly helped Yin Yin, who was about to bow to him, his worried expression never fading.

He didn't intend to linger any longer and took Yinyin directly back to her family's shop to find Lin's father.

Lin's father had just finished his business when he saw Young Master Yuan and his daughter come in together. He couldn't help but smile and say, "Yinyin, Nephew Yuan, you're back. Did you have a good time just now?"

Young Master Ohara did not answer immediately. After nervously completing the bow, he hinted that he had something to say to Lin's father in private.

Seeing that the two children didn't look well, Lin's father sensed something was wrong and told everyone else to wait outside.

Young Master Xiaoyuan then recounted everything that had just happened, and specifically apologized to him, saying, "It was my fault for not taking good care of Sister Yinyin."

Lin's father and Yin Yin exchanged a glance, then Lin's father helped up Young Master Yuan, comforted him with a few words, and saw him out the door before returning to see his daughter.

"In the end, it's all your father's fault. If I hadn't insisted on making you go out, or if I had gone with you myself, none of this would have happened."

“Dad, how can you blame yourself?” Yinyin quickly advised him. “It’s clearly that the thief who’s the problem. No victim looks for the cause in themselves. We can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.”

“But Dad,” Yin Yin thought for a moment and said, “I feel like I’ve seen that master and apprentice somewhere before.”

"Oh?" Lin's father asked, somewhat puzzled. "They went to the vicinity of Xuan Nu Mountain?"

Of course not.

Yin Yin lowered her eyelids. On her way back, she had already made up her mind that regardless of whether the child was the thief who harmed the Lin family in the original story, she would treat him the same way.

As for Zhuo Sikong, putting aside the fact that he raised such a harmful disciple, just look at how he acted arrogantly towards ordinary people today, relying on his status as a martial artist, his skill, and his reputation as a king of thieves. It's clear that he's no good.

So at this moment, Yin Yin first denied her father's guess, and then hesitated on the surface: "Father, I feel like I've seen this master and disciple pair in a dream."

"It seems that they said something outside, which attracted a lot of bad people to our house."

"In a dream?" Yin Yin had many dreams about bad people, but her father only knew one, which was the one she had caused a great disturbance in when she was a child.

He noted down the story of Zhuo Sikong and his apprentice, but his first reaction was to ask his daughter, "Yinyin, have you been having the same dream all these years? Why didn't you tell your parents sooner? Is there anything that makes you feel uncomfortable?"

It seems a bit unreasonable for Yin Yin to still remember a dream she had when she was three years old, so she naturally accepted her father's account of the dreams he had over the years.

However, she still said, "It's just occasionally. These dreams seem to be pretty much the same each time, without much variation, and they don't affect my daily life, so I haven't told Dad."

Even though Yinyin said that, Lin's father's brows remained tightly furrowed.

After a long pause, he said, "When we go back to our hometown this year, I will get you a good luck charm. Remember to wear it with you every day and never take it off."
