Qin Yan, Su Zhan, and Qin Yang instructed the leader of the troops outside the door to keep a close watch on his men and prevent him from causing trouble in the city.

Knowing that Su Yan always suffered serious injuries and felt unwell when riding in a carriage, they asked her maid to help her into the inn and to her room to rest.

Ten-year-old Su Yan stepped down from the carriage with a curtain drawn around her. As soon as she stepped into the inn, the plaque above the entrance, which read "Welcome Guests," fell down without warning.

"Ayan, be careful!" Qin Yan and Su Zhan exclaimed at the same time, and simultaneously used their lightness skills to fly towards her.

The two of them caught the falling plaque at the same time, preventing it from hitting Su Yan on the head.

Su Yan, oblivious to the danger she had just experienced while wearing the veil, turned around and saw the plaques in Qin Yan and Su Zhan's hands. Only then did she realize that she had almost been hit on the head, and she was immediately filled with lingering fear. "Thank you both, brothers."

Qin Yan returned to Kunjing concealing his identity and whereabouts.

Therefore, Su Yan had to address him as elder brother throughout the journey.

Qin Yang walked over, feigning a still-frightened expression, and asked, "Little sister, are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, Third Brother. I'm fine." Su Yan had never met Qin Yang in her female form, but during the time she disguised herself as a boy and directed the servants to treat the wounded soldiers in the rear of the military camp, Qin Yang visited many times and even tried to win her over on several occasions.

"Ayan, next time you should go with... Eldest Brother." Su Zhan wasn't quite used to calling Qin Yan "elder brother."

A year ago, Su Zhan and Qin Yan both discovered that Su Yan was less unlucky when she was with Qin Yan.

Since this discovery, Su Yan has disguised herself as a child and rode in the same carriage as Qin Yan whenever she accompanied the army.

When Qin Yan rode a horse, she would also dress up as a child and ride behind him.

They had forgotten about Su Yan's unlucky constitution, which is why they let her enter the inn alone.

Now that he remembered, Su Zhan wanted Qin Yan to take Su Yan with him.

Qin Yan also chimed in, "Ayan, stay by the side of the eldest brother."

Upon hearing the words "elder brother," Su Yan's pretty face behind the curtain stretched into an even longer expression than a horse's.

Two years ago, the antibiotic she developed was remarkably effective. She even spent her own money to purchase medicinal herbs and donated them to the army. Qin Yan's favorability towards her had already reached 100%.

But this is supposed to be brother-sister affection!

The real key to boosting romantic affection between men and women is a bold, red, and capitalized zero.

Within the system space, the birth system, upon hearing the words "eldest brother," also felt no desire to continue its life.

If it accidentally uses up all its points and the host fails its first mission, it will not only fail to gain energy and points, but will also lose energy and points.

It's completely broke right now, so where does it get the energy and points to deduct from the main system?

Now, its fate rests entirely on Su Yan. If Su Yan can fail even such a simple initial task, it will be disastrous.

Then both she and it will be doomed.

How could it not be anxious?

"Host, the main villain is treating you like his own sister, what are we going to do about our mission?" The system was in despair and scratched its head.

With the small body of a ten-year-old, what could Su Yan do?

"I know you're anxious, but don't worry, I'll grow up eventually."

"When they grow up, accidental physical contact, unintentional eye contact, and various unexpected hugs and kisses will inevitably make men and women who are not siblings become ambiguous. They can change things gradually over time."

After two years of hard work, Su Yan has learned to change her mindset (from being lazy to being lazy).

Why didn't the fertility system choose a pervert as its main villain?

If the main villain is a pervert, he might develop inappropriate romantic feelings for this little girl.

The system silently shut up: It's its fault for getting the time wrong... No, it's the system that malfunctioned for no reason, causing the host to travel to the wrong time. It's not its fault.

But the system is itself!

The system temporarily blocked Su Yan's consciousness, and she huddled in a corner of the system space, bursting into tears.

Su Yan walked to Qin Yan's side, standing only one person away from him.

At this moment, Qin Yan's attendant stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Young master, this inn's signboard fell down without any warning. I'm afraid the innkeeper and waiters here aren't very good. Should I go and find another inn to stay at?"

Qin Yang, who was standing to the side, suddenly clenched his fist, and a look of urgency flashed in his eyes.

Qin Yang was unaware that Su Yan had a system as a cheat code, and he was also unaware that his expressions and reactions were being broadcast to Su Yan through the system.

Qin Yang has never given up on assassinating or poisoning Qin Yan in the past two years. His current reaction is obviously abnormal. Could there be an assassin he arranged in this inn?

In the original storyline, Qin Yan did receive a letter from his mother, Consort Shu, after he recaptured the south.

Qin Yan did indeed lead Qin Yang and the original owner away from the army and hurried back to Kunjing.

In the original story, the male lead not only arranged assassinations and poisonings, but also a honey trap, a self-inflicted injury plot, and arranged for someone to kidnap the original owner so that Qin Yan could go to rescue her alone, among other deadly schemes.

However, she remembered that Qin Yang arranged for the assassination to take place in the small town they had passed through before, not in a small city.

Could it be that Qin Yang also planted assassins here?!

Just as Su Yan was about to suggest changing to another inn, Qin Yan preemptively replied, "...No need, this one will do."

He felt it wasn't necessarily because the inn was bad; it could also be because Ayan was unlucky...

He glanced furtively at the little girl behind the curtain, thinking that he couldn't let her know what he was thinking, or she would throw a tantrum.

Su Yan suspected there were assassins inside the inn. Seeing Qin Yan already had one foot inside, she quickly followed, grabbing his sleeves with both hands. "Brother, A-Yan doesn't want to stay at this inn, this inn..."

"Little sister, everyone must be tired from traveling all day. Why don't you make do and stay at this inn for the night?" Qin Yang interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

Su Yan rolled her eyes at him from behind the curtain, "Third Brother, I think that if the signboard of this inn can fall down without warning, this inn may collapse at any time."

"What if we're all asleep at night and the inn suddenly collapses? Wouldn't we be buried alive?"

"How could this perfectly good inn collapse?" Before Qin Yang could finish his last word, dust fell on his head, and he could hear a "crack-crack-crack" sound.

Qin Yang looked up in surprise, just as a cloud of dust came crashing down on him, covering his face with a thick layer of grayish-white dust that made it impossible to see his skin.

Suddenly, someone inside the inn shouted, "The inn is going to collapse!"

Qin Yan withdrew his gaze from Qin Yang's face, grabbed Su Yan's hand, and led her away from the inn's entrance. "The inn is about to collapse, Ayan, hurry up and leave."

Su Zhan also grabbed Su Yan's other hand and led her away.

Su Yan started running without hesitation, but her face was full of worry as she asked, "Eldest brother, what about third brother?"

"Third brother, the inn is about to collapse, hurry up!" Qin Yan turned around and saw Qin Yang looking over with his gray and dusty face, and couldn't help but show a look of disgust.

Su Yan, standing beneath the curtain, almost burst out laughing when she saw that hint of disdain.

She has seen Qin Yan quite often in the past two years and discovered that he is actually a bit of a germaphobe. Whenever he has the opportunity and time, he will change his clothes even if there is only a little dust on the corner of his clothes.

Qin Yang's face was covered in dust, and you couldn't see any skin on him at all. The fact that he could endure it for so long before showing a hint of disgust showed that he was very patient.

Qin Yang, his face covered in dust, caught up with the three of them.

The four had only walked a dozen steps when a group of people rushed out from the collapsing inn behind them.

Many people dressed similarly broke through the windows on the second and third floors above.

They were dressed in black bodysuits, wearing headscarves and face masks, and carrying sharp knives; you could tell at a glance they were no good people!
