Su Binglan asked, “Father, do you think others won’t recognize you when you wear the mask? Do you feel you can do anything with it on?”
Su Fengmao considered how he felt when he wore the mask just now. A while later, he said, “1 do feel that way.”
Su Binglan raised a brow, asking again, “Do you remember what the mask you wore looked like?”
Su Fengmao nodded. “Yes, 1 have some impression of it.”
“Tell me, and I’ll draw it for you.”
Su Fengmao was obedient and did everything his daughter said. He described the mask to her, and she drew it according to his description. When she finished, she asked him, “Did it look like this?”
“Yes, that’s it.” Su Fengmao felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at the drawing.
Then, Su Binglan passed her drawing to Luo Jin’an and said, “Can you look into this?”
“I’ll get someone to investigate.” Luo Jin’an had his information network and could find the mask’s origins.
Su Binglan believed in her husband’s ability, saying, “Father, Mother, don’t worry or overthink it, okay? I’m delighted to have a father who’s formidable in martial arts. Our family will be even safer with you around, Father.”
She purposely said that so her parents would relax. As expected, the older couple’s mood improved.
Later that night, Su Wenzhe and the others returned home and went to their rooms to sleep. When Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an returned to their room, Su Binglan asked, “Do you know something you didn’t reveal just now?”
Luo Jin’an sighed, “l can’t hide anything from you. If my memory serves me, the symbol should represent the Black Shadow Pavilion.”
Su Binglan thought the name sounded familiar but could not pinpoint it. She asked, “What does the Black Shadow Pavilion do?” “It’s an assassin organization,” Luo Jin’an said.”
“What?!” Su Binglan became wide-eyed.
‘My father couldn’t have become an assassin, right? That can’t be. He can be funny sometimes, which doesn’t match the demeanor of an assassin.’
Luo Jin’an could guess his wife’s worries. He stroked her hair, saying, “Black Shadow Pavilion wasn’t originally an assassin organization. It only became one in recent years.”
Su Binglan sighed in relief. She asked, “So, what did they do before becoming an assassin organization?”
Luo Jin’an answered, “They were swordsmiths who also traded information. The people of the Black Shadow Pavilion occasionally took on missions and had businesses across the land.’
Su Binglan understood that they were similar to a large clan. However, they belonged to the fighting world. Black Shadow Pavilion only became an assassin organization later.
Still, she did not know what it had to do with her father. Not long ago, she had led the Shadown Guards to annihilate an assassin organization because they tried assassinating Lan Ruozhu.
However, the fighting world was vast. Although Su Binglan had destroyed one assassin organization, others still existed. She asked, “Have you been to the Black Shadow Pavilion?”
Luo Jin’an shook her head and explained, “No, but we captured a protector of the pavilion and gathered information from him.”
Su Binglan’s gaze sharpened as she asked, “Were they trying to assassinate you?”
“No, that was three years ago,” Luo Jin’an said softly, “They wanted to kill my big brother, but we caught and interrogated them. However, a war broke out before we could retaliate against the Black Shadow Pavilion. My big brother died on the battlefield then.’
Lan Ruobing should have died during that time.
Su Binglan hesitated before asking, “Why did the pavilion want to kill your big brother?”
“Someone had a grudge against my big brother. That person paid the pavilion, and they simply accepted the mission,” Luo Jin’an’s heart sank when he recalled the past.
Su Binglan held his hand. Although she knew little about his past, she would feel sorry for him whenever he spoke about it. She asked, “Who hired the pavilion? I’ll avenge your brother.”
When she lived as Lan Ruobing, there were some things she never had time to do. After all, Lan Ruobing had died from poor health before the war three years ago.
However, Su Binglan’s health was excellent, so she could help Luo Jin’an with many things.
Luo Jin’an noticed his wife’s severe expression. He held her hand and said,
“You don’t have to worry about that, Bing. I’ll handle it, okay?”
He did not want his wife to put herself in danger. He wanted to protect Su Binglan as Lan Ruozhu would. Even Luo Jin’an dared not imagine the havoc he would wreak if anything happened to his wife.
Su Binglan feigned dissatisfaction and turned away from Luo Jin’an, saying,
“You don’t believe I can help, huh?”
“No, that’s not it.” Luo Jin’an became anxious. He could only embrace her and coax her gently.
Su Binglan said, “Then tell me who hired the Black Shadow Pavilion.”
“It was Princess Liuwu,” Luo Jin’an sighed.
Su Binglan became wide-eyed, saying, “It was Chu Liuwu?”
Chu Liuwu was the crown prince’s younger sister and the princess the emperor doted on most. Chu Liuwi was spoiled, rude, and had a terrible reputation.
She had fancied Wei Qingchen, the eldest son of General Wei. Hence, Chu Liuwu asked the emperor to bestow her with a marriage. However, Wei Qingchen already had a fiancee.
Chu Liuwu wanted him to leave his engagement and accept her marriage proposal. The Wei family was loyal in everything, including relationships. They also never clung to people of power.
Nonetheless, Wei Qingchen defied the imperial edict. Soon after, the death of his fiancee occurred. Everyone suspected Chu Liuwu, but there was no evidence.
Su Binglan knew about these things. After all, Lan Ruobing was in the courtyard when the Wei family resisted the imperial edict. She only discovered it when she returned to the capital.
The emperor was paranoid and cautious, the crown prince was vicious, and Princess Liuwu was ruthless. She would do anything to achieve her goal.
“So, Chu Liuwu did it,” Su Binglan said thoughtfully.
“We couldn’t do anything without evidence,” Luo Jin’an said, “My big brother blamed himself for his fiancee’s death. He even wanted to kill Princess Liuwu, but our family had been loyal to the emperor since our ancestors’ time.
“Our ancestors have protected the country for generations. What would happen to our family if we rebelled then? We have an ancestral rule to protect the people and not rebel.”
Su Binglan’s heart grew heavy when she heard that.
Luo Jin’an added, “The emperor did not believe in us and kept suppressing my family. He even gathered military power secretly. My family got attacked on both sides three years ago..”
