Shen Qiuhua did not know the origin of the thumb ring and clothes, nor could she find any clues. However, she hoped Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an would know.
She wondered if Su Fengmao would remember anything after seeing these items. Su Binglan became wide-eyed when she saw the black clothes. She touched the fabric and knew they were unique.
It was not something ordinary fabric could compare to. Moreover, Su Binglan saw hidden patterns on the clothes upon closer inspection. The dark patterns consisted of symbols and totems.
“If my suspicions are correct, these symbols and totems represent an organization or a race. However, I can’t tell from which organization or race,” Su Binglan turned to her husband and asked, “Can you see anything, Jin!an?”
Luo Jin’an had a cold expression as he felt the fabric and pondered. Su Binglan noticed his expression and remained quiet, waiting for him to say something.
After a while, Luo Jin’an said, “These symbols are from the famous Black
Smoke Brocade. They come from the corners of the country.”
“Black Smoke Brocade?” Su Binglan frowned, not understanding the matters of the fighting world. She only knew about the Imperial Court and various forces in the capital, even when she was Lan Ruobing.
“Yes.” Luo Jin’an nodded. “Some forces at the corners of the country typically make clothes with the brocade’s symbols.”
Su Binglan said thoughtfully, “In that case, it’s likely Father was a member of a faction in the fighting world. However, they aren’t related to any family or clan.’
She was confident about her judgment, considering the skills her father had displayed in Teng He Town. A large family could not nurture an expert like him in such a short period.
Su Fengmao had only gone missing for a few years. He must’ve had a fortuitous encounter to become an expert in just a few years.
Su Binglan looked at him and asked, “Father, do you remember anything like that?”
Su Fengmao stared at the clothes and searched his memories. Suddenly, a light flashed in his mind. He said, “An old man with white hair gave me these clothes. That was… my master!”
Su Binglan asked, “Who was your master?”
The overlapping images in Su Fengmao’s mind continued to flash but were too quick, so he failed to remember much. He could not see his master’s face well enough, only the latter’s white hair.
“My master also gave me this jade thumb ring, but I can’t remember what he told me to say or do. I can only remember a blurry image of him.” The more Su Fengmao considered it, the more his head hurt.
There was only a blurry image.
Shen Qiuhua noticed the sweat on his forehead and said worriedly, “Binglan, can you help your father with some medicine?”
Su Binglan shook her head and said, “Father’s body is in good health, and everything seems normal. He lost his memories, so there’s nothing wrong with his brain. He might’ve subconsciously forgotten about all of this.
“He must remember them himself. If we medicate him now, he might forget everything he had painstakingly remembered.”
Su Binglan could not treat her father now but suspected something was wrong. Perhaps it had something to do with his internal energy. Still, she could not let his internal energy disappear because it would benefit him greatly.
“Perhaps it makes sense that you have a master,” Luo Jin’an said, “Perhaps your master entrusted all his skills to you, Father-in-law.”
Su Binglan nodded, thinking her husband’s explanation was sensible.
Luo Jin’an looked at the thumb ring and continued, “The material used to make this thumb ring is of excellent quality. The ring should possess spiritual energy. Here, take a look.”
He showed the ring to Su Binglan as he spoke.
Su Binglan could see dark patterns flowing in the thumb ring through the candle lights in the room. The patterns were similar to those on the clothes, but the ones in the thumb ring moved around.
Su Binglan was amazed, stammering, “W-What an extraordinary ring. That’s spiritual energy flowing within, right?!”
Luo Jin’an nodded. “Indeed, it possesses spiritual energy. If my guess is correct, this ring should be a keepsake of a Clan Master or Pavilion Master.”
“Huh?” Shen Qiuhua was so shocked she became wide-eyed. She never imagined her husband having such an incredible background. She needed time to digest this information.
On the contrary, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an remained calm. Su Binglan asked, “Which force did this ring come from?”
Luo Jin’an observed the ring and thought of something. His gaze darkened as he said, “l can’t be sure now. I need to get someone to investigate it.”
Su Binglan looked at her husband and knew he was hiding something. Perhaps it was something he could not say in Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao’s presence.
Su Binglan said, “Father, don’t think about it if you can’t remember. You might remember unexpectedly. Also, Feiran said she saw a portrait of someone who looks very similar to Father. I’ll ask him about it later.”
Shen Qiuhua looked at her husband worriedly and asked Su Binglan, “Will your father be okay?”
Su Binglan said truthfully, “Don’t worry, Mother. We’ll protect Father. Besides, he also has formidable martial arts skills. No one in the martial arts world can match him.”
Luo Jin’an had told her about the Qinggong her father had displayed earlier. He also said no one could match Su Fengmao. Furthermore, Su Binglan could sense decades’ worth of internal energy when she checked her father’s pulse.
Although Su Fengmao did not know how to use it willingly, he would not have to think at a critical moment. He only needed to rely on his instincts, like when he rescued the two children.
Shen Qiuhua sighed in relief when she heard her daughter’s words. After all, she knew Su Binglan was highly knowledgeable. Shen Qiuhua asked, “Oh, your father seemed different after wearing the mask. Could the mask have something to do with it?”
Su Fengmao did not force himself to think about it this time. His expression had improved as he said, “Indeed, I felt strange after wearing the mask. I couldn’t control myself just now.”
Su Binglan was surprised but did not understand it. However, Luo Jin’an said,
“That means your father wore a mask with this outfit.”
The mask had a similar effect as makeup. Once one puts on makeup, one would feel and act differently. It was also possible that Su Fengmao’s formidable half was asleep within him..
