Yan Dan had just received a messenger pigeon message from his subordinates, saying that a person had been found not far from the scene of the incident. However, that person was already dead. His throat had been slit by a sharp blade. He was wearing a black robe, and his most distinctive feature was that he had six fingers.
When Yan Dan saw this message, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. The first person that came to her mind was the Six-fingered Black Swordsman. Although he was not the only one with Six-fingered in the world, he was still the first person that came to her mind.
This was because not long ago, the Six-fingered Black Swordsman had come to look for Yan Dan. It was at that time that the Six-fingered Black Swordsman had given Yan Dan the Mo Family's Commander's Token and asked him to hand it over to Yuan Luochuan. During this period, Six-fingered Black Knight said that he had been having a feeling of palpitation recently. His feeling had always been accurate.
If something really happened to him, the Six-fingered Black Man hoped that Yan Dan could inherit the position of the Mo Family's magnate and lead the Mo Family forward. At first, Yan Dan comforted him. This was the Yan Country, within his sphere of influence. How could something happen to the Six-fingered Black Man? He told him not to think too much.
However, now that the Six-fingered Black Swordsman was dead, along with the heavily injured Yuan Luochuan, he was probably the only one who could tell Yan Dan what had happened.
Yan Dan went to ask Duanmu Rong how Yuan Luochuan was doing. Duanmu Rong said that if she could wake up, her life would not be in danger. Otherwise, she might fall into a rigid state, which is what we call a vegetative state.
When they arrived at the guest room, Yan Dan knocked on the door, waking up the snow maidens who were still in their sleep. The snow maidens woke up in a daze and secretly blamed themselves for falling asleep. Just as they were about to check on Yuan Luochuan, they realized that he was looking at them with a smile on his face. Yuan Luochuan was still holding onto them tightly.
"Ah!" The snow maiden cried out shyly and hurriedly pulled her hand away from Yuan Luochuan. However, Yuan Luochuan was still holding onto her hand tightly. As he had just woken up from a serious illness, the snow maiden didn't dare to exert too much force. She could only berate him,"Let go."
Seeing that no one came to open the door for a long time, Yan Dan knocked again. Yuan Luochuan knew that he had finally gotten the upper hand. He was extremely unhappy with the person who knocked on the door. Although he was unhappy, he still let go of the snow maiden."Thank you."
Just the fact that the snow maidens had been by his bedside all this time was enough for Yuan Luochuan to thank them." Also, I'm sorry. We'll talk about the details later. Go open the door first. It should be His Highness the Crown Prince."”
Yuan Luochuan's words of thanks and apology swept away all the grievances, resentment, and fatigue in the snow maiden's heart. However, she knew that now was not the time to ask about this and that, so she stood up and went to open the door for Yan Dan with a red face.
Yan Dan, who was standing outside the door, was stunned when he saw the red-faced snow maidens who had come to open the door. He laughed and scolded,""That kid, even with his serious injuries, he still has the energy to tease you.”
Yan Dan's words made the snow maidens feel even more embarrassed. Without saying another word, they made way for Yan Dan to enter the room. Seeing Yuan Luochuan lying on the bed with a smile on his face, Yan Dan said,""Looks like you're fine. Looks like you're a bastard who can live for a thousand years.”
Yuan Luochuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Are you complimenting me or insulting me?
"Did Miss Rong treat me?" Yuan Luochuan asked.
" That's right," the snow maiden said." Big Sister Rong is really amazing. Your wounds are fatal, but she still saved you. You must thank her when you recover."”
Looking at the bandage on his chest, Yuan Luochuan said,""It's so ugly. I'll teach her how to tie a bow someday.”
"Alright, snow maidens, you can leave now. I have something to discuss with Luochuan.”Seeing that Yuan Luochuan was even more composed than he was, Yan Dan couldn't take it anymore.
"No, he's just fine now and isn't suitable for a long conversation. Crown Prince, you should come back later.”the snow maiden flatly refused.
"You haven't even married him yet, and you're already controlling him?" Yan Dan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.”
The snow maiden still had a determined look on her face as she said,""Your Highness, you can punish me in the future, but no matter what you say now, it won't do.”
Yan Dan saw that there was nothing he could do about it, so he turned to Yuan Luochuan for help. Although Yuan Luochuan felt a little smug, he understood the importance of the matter. He said to the snow maidens,""I can control the conversation. Don't worry.”
"But…" The snow maiden wanted to say something, but when she saw Yuan Luochuan's expression, she sighed and said,""Up to you. Don't chat for too long."
Yan Dan felt a sense of unfairness in his heart.'I can't even catch up to Yuan Luochuan's words.'
Since Yan Dan wanted to chat with Yuan Luochuan, the snow maidens were about to leave when Yuan Luochuan said,""Snow maidens, wait. Stay here. There's nothing to hide from you.”
When the snow maidens heard Yuan Luochuan's words, they looked at Yan Dan in surprise, as if asking," Can I stay and listen?
Yan Dan looked at Yuan Luochuan meaningfully and noticed that he was smiling as well. He turned to the snow maidens and said,""Okay, you can stay."
However, he thought to himself,'Kid, you're actually trying to play this little trick with me.”
In reality, Yuan Luochuan was indirectly asking for a life-saving talisman for the snow maidens. He was also asking Yan Dan for a promise to protect the snow maidens. After all, he couldn't be by the snow maidens 'side all the time. If he wasn't by her side, what would she do?
"The one who died was a giant?" This was the question that Yan Dan wanted to know the most.
Yuan Luochuan nodded.”
Yan Dan clenched his fists and asked coldly,""Who killed him?"
Yuan Luochuan paused for a moment before saying a name,""Wei Zhuang."
"What?" This time, it was Yan Dan's turn to lose his composure. However, he was the Crown Prince after all. He quickly recovered and said,"Wei Zhuang of the Zong Heng family? Why did he kill the giant? Could it be that the Zong Heng School was planning to become enemies with the Mo Family? Were they already planning to join Ying Zheng?”
Everyone knew that Ge Nia of the Zongheng Family was now the number one swordsman by Ying Zheng's side, and the Mo Family was the most resolute sect against Ying Zheng. Now that Wei Zhuang had killed the giant of the Mo Family, did that mean that both of them were working for Ying Zheng?
Yuan Luochuan thought for a moment and said," I don't think so. Wei Zhuang gathered a group of killers after the fall of Han Country and established a Quicksand Organization. I think someone wanted the Six-fingered Black Man's life and paid Wei Zhuang to do it."”
Yan Dan also felt that this was highly possible, so he asked,""What happened last night?"
After sorting out his thoughts, Yuan Luochuan said,""Didn't I go back to the Feixue Pavilion by myself last night? I felt that it was inappropriate to let the snow maidens go back to the Feixue Pavilion by themselves as soon as I left the Crown Prince's Residence. However, I was too embarrassed to go back after I came out, so I planned to wait outside for the snow maidens to come out and apologize to her while I was at it.”
The snow maidens noticed that Yuan Luochuan's expression was extremely serious when he said this, and they felt much better." So he was waiting for me outside yesterday."”
Yuan Luochuan continued," But I waited for a long time, but the snow maidens didn't come out. Besides, it seemed like it was going to rain soon. I thought the snow maidens were going to rest at the Crown Prince's Residence tonight, so I went back by myself."”
" When I walked to the more remote path, I vaguely saw two people in front of me. I felt that something was strange, so I squatted in the bushes at the side. I was prepared to wait for them to leave before coming out. However, in just a few minutes, the two of them started fighting. At the beginning, it was difficult for them to part. As it went on, one of them became more and more defeated. In the end, he was cut in the throat with a sword.”
"This was the first time I saw a living person being killed. I was scared, so I revealed my aura and was discovered by that person. When he walked over, I saw that he was wearing a long robe. His hair was all white, and he held a tooth-shaped sword in his hand.”
"Of course I couldn't beat him. In the end, I was knocked down by him.”
Yan Dan pondered for a moment and said," Alright, then you can rest in peace. I'll take my leave first."”
In fact, Yan Dan and Yuan Luochuan both knew that there were some things that Yuan Luochuan did not say out loud. However, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not point it out. For example, if Yuan Luochuan couldn't see clearly, how did he know that the person who was killed was the Six-fingered Black Swordsman? If the Six-fingered Black Man was dead, why was Yuan Luochuan able to hold on until someone came to his rescue instead of dying on the spot? What did Wei Zhuang and the Six-fingered Black Man say in the few minutes before the fight?
"Get someone to secretly investigate Yuan Luochuan.”This was the first order Yan Dan gave after returning to his study.
