Hi everyone,
How are you these days? Melbourne is experiencing the coldest winter since decades, so if you are here stay warm and don’t get sick. I am in bed for 3 days now, just sleeping and trying not to pass the cold to anyone (including my plates of fungi in the lab, hahaha, this sounds so geeky and lame -o-, please forgive my bad joke *cough*). Since my work hours have increased drastically to try to produce replicable results for my thesis, I will only be translating until chapter 25. L3D will be translating the chapters until I come back again in Nov, once my thesis and defense meeting finish.
This chapter is edited by Remy
Cheers,
Nutty

βAo Tian? Why have you come?β Waiting for that dark figure to gradually enter, Cheng Hang subconsciously asked.
Ao Tian indifferently half-leaned on the door and didnβt enter the office. If he were a normal average person, it would appear as if the person was lazy or mannerless. However, his expressionless face only revealed a cold indifferent face. With his back facing the moonlight, besides his dazzling silver hair, people could only see a dark figure.
Simply ignoring Cheng Hangβs question, the dark silent figure stood there firmly. No one could ignore his presence. It was like if he didnβt want you to know his presence, you wouldnβt know that he was there. However, if he wanted you to know his presence, you couldnβt ignore him.
His appearance in the office changed the overall atmosphere. Su Lingβs square face looked duller.
This person was very elusive and eccentric. If you asked him to come, he might or might not come. Not to mention he suddenly came without being asked! What was his purpose in coming to the Xing Bu? Dan Yu Lan secretly speculated. Lu Jin surmised the presence of Ao Tian here could change the case, whether it be for a better result or⦠a crisis!
Stepping forward, Lu Jin lightly smiled, βFor the last half-month, cases kept on appearing in the capital. The only obvious feature of the assailant was his silver hair. Truthfully, we want to inquire you to hopefully confirm your innocence. After all, youβve captured many criminals for this country. We also do not want to doubt you.β
His cold eyes showed an unconcealed irony. From the beginning, he had never captured criminals for the country and he also didnβt need peopleβs trust. Ao Tian coldly replied, βDonβt talk around, just straightly ask what you want.β
Gu Yun felt amused. No matter how she listened to it, the mannerless sentence that came from his mouth was inevitable and right.
βOkay.β Lu Jin no longer kept the formalities. These kinds of words to Ao Tian were simply meaningless. βOn the 11th, 16th, 19th, 23rd and tonight, where were you?β
Ao Tian was silent for a while but cooperatively replied, βDuring the afternoon of the 11th, after sending the criminal to Xing Bu, I went home and didnβt come out again after that. On the evening of the 16th and 19th, I wasβ¦ at a big tree, sleeping. On the 23rd, I was at my residence and didnβt go anywhere at all. Tonight, I only went to Fu Hua Road, and then came here.β
He was at the Fu Hua Road earlier tonight! Cheng Hang urged, βWhat did you do in Fu Hua Road? When did you arrive and when did you leave? Is there anyone who can prove your words?β He didnβt know why, but he just thought that the man in front of him was connected to the case!
βI came to Fu Hua Road at 9 pm and left at 9.30 pm. I have always been a loner so no one can prove my alibi.β The clear baritone voice revealed the arrogance of its owner. Cheng Hangβs face darkened. He unhappily glared at Ao Tian. Who did this man think he was?
In comparison to the angry Cheng Hang, Lu Jin was relatively calm, βTonightβs case happened on Fu Hua Road at exactly the same time as youβve said. This makes you a suspect. Can you recall anything or anyone that could verify where you were, and what you were doing at that time? This might help you prove your innocence.β
This time, Ao Tian chose to remain silent and didnβt bother to explain. At one side of the room, Dan Yu Lan suffered because there was no evidence at hand, while at the other side, Ao Tian remained arrogant and indifferent. The atmosphere of the room once again turned cold.
βAt the night of the 16th of this month, I was with him.β A calm female voice broke the silence of the room and the sound of a shattering cup followed soon after that.
The porcelain fell from fingertips, spilling the tea all over the ground. Su Ling, who was sitting upright used his eyes to mercilessly glare at Gu Yun. This damned woman! That night she didnβt return home because she was with Ao Tian!
Gu Yun who was being deathly glared at was suspiciously looking at Su Lingβs reddish hand that had been splashed by the hot tea. What made him mad again?
Ao Tianβs cold eyes glanced quietly at Gu Yun but he quickly withdrew his gaze. His expression vanished too quickly, such that no one was able to catch it.
βThe entire night?β Carefully looking at the almost exploding silent man beside Gu Yun, Cheng Hang swallowed his saliva and asked, βYouβ¦ were together? Where? What were you doing?β
Facing the men with odd expressions on their faces in the room, Gu Yun silently cursed. What were these people thinking about?! Slightly raising her head, Gu Yun said straightforwardly, βWe were at the mountain behind General Manor, drinking wine. To be more precise, I can testify that from 11pm to 3am the next morning, he was with me.β
As expected, Gu Yun heard several simultaneous sighs. What did they think she and Ao Tian would do?!
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin thought there was a gap of four empty hours. He asked, βWhat about from 3am to 7am?β
Gu Yun truthfully answered, βDuring those four hours, I fell asleep. I donβt know if he left, but when I woke up in the morning, he was still there.β
She actually slept in front of another man?! Recalling his concern over her the entire night, she was drinking happily with Ao Tian and didnβt go home for the entire night, Su Lingβs heart felt a tightening pain. He had never experienced this kind of pain before. Not knowing how to vent his anger, Su Ling could only use his eyes to deathly glare at Gu Yun. His hands were trembling with anger.
Su Lingβs eyes didnβt leave Gu Yun like she was his property. Ao Tianβs heart suddenly felt a strange feeling. He couldnβt determine what kind of feeling was it, but he knew he didnβt want Su Ling to live happily! βAt the night of the 16th, I was with her the entire time. She was sleeping on the treetop that night. I was afraid that she was going to fall, so I didnβt leave her at all.β Ao Tian looked at Gu Yun. His mouth showed a faint smile. Although it was a really faint smile, no one at the room had ever seen him smiling. His usually cold voice, at this time, sounded warmer.
After Ao Tian finished speaking, the entire room fell into a dead silence.
Finally, Su Lingβs eyes left Gu Yunβs side and chillingly looked at the doorside where the other man was leaning onto it.
The arrogant eagle eyes met the otherβs cold eyes. Both similarly icy cold men were looking at each other without any intention to move. However, one was arrogant, and the other was without feeling. Severely low in EQ, Gu Yun only felt that Ao Tian was a little bit strange today. Meanwhile, Dan Yu Lan and the others were between tears and laughs. Would these two people fight in Ti Xing Office?
Under this kind of atmosphere, those who were standing aside felt very awkward. Lu Jin coughed lightly and quickly diverted the conversation back, βThe case on the 16th happened at 3.30 am, coincidentally during the time that Miss Qing slept. Therefore, although you and she were together that night, it isnβt enough to prove that you are not the murderer that we are looking for.β
βOf course, it couldnβt testify anything. If Minister Dan feels that I am suspicious, I am willing to sit in the jail while you are slowly uncovering the case.β Ao Tian gradually withdrew his gaze from the βeye battleβ with Su Ling. The cold face was expressionless making people unable to read the meaning behind his words, but the ironic tone made it quite clear.
Dan Yu Lan was silent. It looked like he was thinking about something. Gu Yun suddenly felt funny and said, βInvestigating a case is an investigator/officerβs duty. If you think that Ao Tian is guilty, you should prove that he is a murderer rather than having him prove he is not a murderer!β
Cheng Hang and Lu Jin exchanged a look. Lu Jin stepped forward, βMinister, the celebration is coming up. Since Ao Tian was so righteous, please consider the greater good. If during Ao Tianβs detention, the culprit still commits a crime, this will prove Ao Tian is innocent. Ifβ¦ the case stopped, it will still ensure the capitalβs safety during the celebration.β
They really wanted to lock Ao Tian up? Gu Yun frowned. Did Dan Yu Lan become silly?
Dan Yu Lan, of course, wasnβt silly. He understood completely what Qing Moβs words meant, but what Lu Jin said also wasnβt completely irrational. This case was even harder to handle than the case of missing hearts. The culprit didnβt have a clear target. This made the entire population in the city terrified. The foreign envoys would also make fun of Qiong Yue. So far, they didnβt even have a single clue about the culprit aside from the silver hair. Therefore, Ao Tian was now the most suspected person. If they put Ao Tian in the jail, first, they could give assurance to the people. Secondlyβ¦ If this case was connected to Ao Tian, although it wasnβt him, it would be as though he was the one who did it!
Dan Yu Lan hesitated for a moment. His eyes swept through Su Lingβs dark face and said, βThe emperor had entrusted the celebration security to General Su. What is your opinion about it, General Su?β
Gu Yun silently cursed. Although she was only interested in solving cases and didnβt like politics, she wasnβt stupid. Dan Yu Lan obviously knew that it would be an unreasonable arrest so he wanted to use Su Ling to put Ao Tian in jail. The last time, in order to help her, Ao Tian fought against Su Ling. Seeing Su Lingβs expression right now, he must hold a grudge!
Then, Ao Tian β¦
Indeed, Su Lingβs lips raised and profoundly replied, βAo Tian has silver hair which is similar to the distinct description of the murderer. For many of the times when the crime was committed, no one could verify his whereabouts. Tonight, he was also βcoincidentallyβ in the nearby area. This really makes him very suspicious.β
Under the eagle eyes’ observation, Ao Tian didnβt look surprised. It was as though he had expected Su Ling to say so. He just met Su Lingβs eyes with the same coldness and held a touch of mockery and disdain.
βBut.β Just as Gu Yun thought that Su Ling would agree to put Ao Tian in the jail, he spoke with great determination, βIf you put someone into a jail without a conclusive evidence and just based on suspicion, it would be deviating from the law. Solving a case and catching the criminal is Minister Danβs job, so you donβt need to ask me.β
Although Su Ling was a general, he had been an official of this dynasty for so many years. How could he not know Dan Yu Lanβs intentions? He indeed didnβt like Ao Tian, but it didnβt mean that he would let people to use him.
Gu Yun slightly frowned and looked at Su Ling with a surprised expression. Soβ¦ being angry actually wasnβt the only thing he knew how to do.
Dan Yu Lan secretly sighed. He had underestimated Su Ling. Slightly bowing, he smiled and replied, βWhat General said is right.β
After pondering for a long time, Dan Yu Lan faced Ao Tian and asked, βThen, I need to bother Ao Tian to stay in Xing Bu for a few days, but it wouldnβt in the jail. Is that okay?β
βYou donβt need to give me a proper room. The big prison is actually quite comfortable.β Ao Tian coldly replied. Standing straightly in front of Cheng Hang, he said, βLetβs go!β
Cheng Hang was stupefied. He actually agreed! This man surely had a temper! Cheng Hangβs impression of him became slightly better. He made a gesture and said, βI am sorry. Please follow me.β
βWait.β The two hadnβt left the office when Gu Yun spoke. With her stubbornness and insistence to the law, Dan Yu Lan thought that she would stop them from arresting people. Who knew? She calmly said, βMinister Dan, could I have some private words with Ao Tian, please?β
Dan Yu Lan subconsciously looked at Su Ling. He was still standing there with his darkened face, not saying a word. Su Ling didnβt have any objection, so Dan Yu Lan could only say, βGo ahead.β
Gu Yun quickly went out of the room. Ao Tian hesitated for a moment but finally followed her into the inner courtyard.
Gu Yun stood in the middle of the courtyard and turned around. Seeing the emotionless face of Ao Tian, she said, βYou know who is the culprit, donβt you?β His purpose in coming here tonight was for Dan Yu Lan to capture him!
Being stared at by those sharp and clear eyes, Ao Tian was surprised. He calmly said, βThis is none of your business.β
After dropping those words, Ao Tian once again turned around and said to Cheng Hang, βLetβs go.β The two quickly exited the courtyard.
Gu Yun silently stood in the courtyard. She was in deep thought. This time, her brows were tightly knitted together. She didnβt chase Ao Tian. It was unnecessary because he had told her the answer.
He indeed knew. Who was the murderer? What was his relation with Ao Tian? More importantly, why was Ao Tian willing to be jailed for him?
Su Ling observed the woman in the courtyard. When did she become so worried? Was she worried about Ao Tian? Had Ao Tian and Gu Yunβs relationship already reached this point?
***
In an autumn morning, the cold harvest wind gradually blew yellowish leaves in the trees. A few of them fell down, welcoming the autumn. Under a big tree, a silk-dressed woman was lying down on the ground. She didnβt come to gaze at the scenery. Heavy breaths followed her bodyβs up and down movements. Her forehead was covered with sweat.
299…300! Finally finishing the sit up set, Gu Yun hugged her knees. Her breath was still heavy. She couldnβt sleep last night because she kept thinking about the case. The testimonies of the victims from the first cases were practically useless, especially the rape victim. She could only remember very few things. It was estimated that the investigator didnβt dare to ask. She thought that she should go and interview the victims herself to get a better understanding of the case. In addition, about last nightβs case, she must ask whether the report had been done or not. She thought that last nightβs case was done in a hurry, unlike the other cases. From the place he chose to commit the crime, it could be clearly seen.
Did he purposely do it like so⦠or was he anxious?
Her mind was entirely focused on the case. Gu Yun thought it was still better to go and check with Xing Bu. Standing up, she wiped her forehead with her sleeves and walked to the outer courtyard. She had just exited the Yi Tian Court when she saw Leng Xiao and Ge Jing Yun standing at the courtβs gate. It seemed like they had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Gu Yun exiting, the two hurriedly welcomed her.
βBoss.β
She looked at Ge Jing Yun and smiled, βHow was your injury?β Looking at his excited voice, he should be alright.
Robustly pounding his own chest, Ge Jing Yun replied, βIt has completely healed.β
Gu Yun nodded with satisfaction and asked, βWhy are you looking for me?β
The two looked at each other. At last, Leng Xiao replied, βWe heard that the general intends to train some soldiers and that you would be personally training them. Is that true?β
βEn.β
Leng Xiao asked quietly, βDo we have a chance to follow the training?β
Gu Yun lightly smiled, βThere will be a selection test at that time. If you are good enough, you will have a chance. I only need 100 people.β
When they heard that they would need to do a test, they simultaneously sighed and smiled, βYou just wait.β Before, they were afraid that the general would select the people (without a test). If it was a test, they didnβt need to be too worried! If they really lost, then it was they who were useless with nobody to blame!
The two looked satisfied. This improved Gu Yunβs mood. She smiled, βOkay, I will wait!β The three looked at each other and smiled. They came to such an understanding. Leng Xiao and Ge Jing Yun cheerfully ran towards the practice field. They reminded Gu Yun about the special forces training. Although Su Ling hadnβt been mentioning it, she had agreed to it, so she couldnβt be indifferent. Thinking about this, Gu Yun decided to go look for Su Ling first and then go to Xing Bu.
Arriving at the door of the study room, she coincidentally met Su Ren who had had just exited. Seeing her coming in, Su Ren asked, βAre you looking for big brother?β
βEn, is he inside?β
Su Ren nodded and smiled, βYes.β
This man was a fox. Seeing his blatant strange smile, Gu Yun frowned, βHe will not get angry again, right?β Yesterday, he was angry on the way back to the General Manor… He kept coldly glaring at her. Just when Gu Yun thought that he was going to blow, he silently jumped on horseback and bolted away. At times, she really didnβt know what Su Ling was thinking in his mind.
Lightly sighing, Su Ren smiled and replied, βYou just go in, I will go to work.β
Seeing Su Ren slipping away, Gu Yun subconsciously didnβt want to go in. At this moment, she thought Su Ling definitely couldnβt be provoked. The last time she went into the study room, he hugged her tightly, refusing to let her go and spoke rudely. Gu Yunβs face quickly burned red. She was slightly panicked. Mmmmβ¦ She should Β probably wait and look for him when there were many people in the room.
Gu Yun turned around and took a few steps. She felt very mad. Since when had she become so cowardly? He was just a man! The last time she was careless, so he gained the upper hand on her. If she came prepared, she would definitely not let him succeed! Taking a deep breath, Gu Yun once again stepped into the study room courtyard.
Entering the room, Gu Yun thought that she would once again see an active volcano. Unexpectedly, Su Ling silently sat in front of the table with his hand holding a brush. She couldn’t see what he was writing. The resolute square face looked distant. His handsβ gestures looked as elegant as when he holds a long sword. From the moment Gu Yun came in, Su Ling had noticed her presence. He intended to ignore her. However, being watched by Gu Yun like that, he who had been chased by many eyes for so many years was somewhat entranced.
After a quarter of an hour, Su Ling was finally defeated. Looking at the messy words in front of him, Su Ling silently cursed and put his brush down. Gradually looking at her, Su Ling coldly asked, βWhat do you want?β
The bass voice and deep eyes finally called Gu Yunβs mind back. She was actually staring at him for so long. Damn it! Sitting on the chair nearest to the exit, Gu Yun pretended to be idle, βI donβt have an especially important matter. I only want to discuss the special forces training. Now that Su Ren had returned, the main army has also returned to the capital. I want to ask you when do you want the army to start the training?β
βAfter the celebration is over.β Su Ling looked down again and took a book. He was no longer looking at her.
Gu Yun slightly frowned. She was not used to this kind of Su Ling. Didnβt he usually roar at her, fight with her or have an eye battle with her? How did he become so calm today? She felt odd. Gu Yun quietly asked, βAre you angry?β
Su Lingβs hand that was flipping the book temporarily stopped, but then resumed as usual. Without looking up, he coldly replied, βNo.β
Did he call this as not being angry? This wasnβt the first day she knew him! Contemplating for a moment, it was still better to not provoke him, ah! She really couldnβt think of a reason for him to be angry. Gu Yun directly asked, βDid I offend you?β
She still dared to ask? Su Ling once again looked up. This time, the cold eagle eyes couldnβt remain calm. If a glare could kill, Gu Yun would have died many times already. She swallowed her saliva and felt like a miserable wretch. She thoughtβ¦ this kind of Su Ling was more familiar but also more dangerous!
Gu Yun gradually rose from the chair and smiled, βYou just go and work. Sorry for disturbing.β
The thing that she needed to ask had been answered. Gu Yun intended to quickly leave. Who knew? When her feet hadnβt even stepped out of the door, Su Lingβs gloomy voice was heard, βWait, where are you going?β
Gu Yun turned around and truthfully replied, βTo Xing Bu to see the case report.β
She really wanted to be involved with this case. Su Ling coldly replied, βYou are so keen to investigate the case. Is it because itβs connected to Ao Tian, that you are this keen?β
Gu Yun silently sighed. It came again…
However, compared to the cold him, she was much more willing to deal with this kind of Su Ling. At least, she was more familiar with this version. Gu Yun was rarely good-tempered, but she explained, βI am very keen to investigate all cases. Ao Tian has saved and helped me before. Therefore, I naturally hope that we can get to the bottom of this case early. However, even if this is just an ordinary case, I would also be this keen. All criminals should be brought to justice! It doesnβt matter who is involved! If it were you, I would also use the same dedication.β
If it were you, I would also use the same dedication…
Su Lingβs anger had reduced significantly. Recalling the bandit operation, she actually had done a lot for him. Su Ling looked at Gu Yun deeper, his feelings were still a bit complicated.
Why did he look at her like that? Seeing Su Ling once again become βweirdβ, Gu Yunβs heart felt restless. She subconsciously took a step back and smiled, βGo do your business, I will leave now.β
βWait.β
Her legs went stiff. Gu Yun lamented. What did he want to do?
Su Ling stood up and walked to her side. It seemed he was in the good mood and said, βI will accompany you. After all, Xing Bu isnβt just an ordinary place (where anyone could come and go at will).β
Did he want to go with her? Could she say no?
Su Ling had already gone out of the study room. The obvious answer was⦠no!
Gu Yun silently followed Su Ling to the outer courtyard. A young soldier coincidentally came and said, βReporting to the general, an assistant minister at the Ministry of Rites, Yu Ze Si, requested to meet.β
Yu Ze Si? Su Lingβs straight brows burrowed. Why did he come to meet him? Actually, the Yu Family and Su Family could be considered as family friends. When his mother almost died giving birth to Su Ren, Madam Yu who was born from a family with a medical background extended a hand to help. Therefore, it could be said that Yu Family was their benefactor. However, after their parentβs death, the contact became gradually less, so Yu Ze Si wouldnβt just come to Su Family for a casual visit. What was his purpose in coming?
Although he didnβt know Yu Ze Siβs motives, since Yu Ze Si had personally come, he must give him face. He gently raised his hand and said to the young soldier, βLet him in.β
Seeing his solemn face, Gu Yun thought something serious happened in the court. She took this opportunity and smiled, βIβll go there alone. Iβm a someone who could help Dan Yu Lan to solve the case, so he wonβt make thing difficult for me.β
Dilly dallying for a long time, it was almost noon. Gu Yun wanted to go early so she could return early. She turned around, but a pair of strong hands grabbed her wrist. A deep voice at the same whispered in her ears, βYou sit for a while. I will go with you later.β
Gu Yun was dumbfounded. What happened to him today? Why was he so insistent?
Being dragged to the nearest chair by the table in the study room, Gu Yun could only wait. According to Su Lingβs character, if she insisted on leaving, they would just fight again. She didnβt want to shout at him the entire day. A wise person should know when to submit to the circumstances, so she could only wait.
Soon, the young soldier brought a sixty-year-old man into the study room. Gu Yun looked up. Behind the old man, there was a young woman. The woman lowered her head slightly. She was tall and slender with an elegant aura. Everyone who saw her would definitely know that she was a big miss who came from a noble family. Suddenly, Gu Yun was curious about the womanβs looks. When the woman looked up, Gu Yun was surprised. How could it be her?
Yu Ze Si entered the room and saw Gu Yun who was sitting on the chair. He had never seen a woman who could be so at ease in Su Lingβs study room. Recovering his sight, Yu Ze Si greeted, βMeeting General Su.β
Su Ling was rarely polite but he said, βMinister Yu is too polite.β
Yu Han Dan from behind Yu Ze Si also greeted, βGeneral Su.β Her voice was warm and her gesture elegant. Whoever looked at it, would see a beautiful scenery. However, Su Ling didnβt show any sign of happiness. His brows were slightly knitted together and he just slightly nodded to her, then looked at Yu Ze Si, βWhat brought you here, Minister Yu?β
Yu Ze Si once again made a greeting gesture and embarrassedly said, βToday, I came here because it isβ¦ my last resort. This old man has a bold request. I really hope that General will agree.β
βPlease say it, Minister Yu.β Remembering Madam Yu who had helped his mom, Su Ling couldnβt shirk when Yu Ze Si had opened his mouth. However, Yu Ze Si had never asked anything of him for many years. What made him come and ask him? Seeing Yu Han Dan standing calmly at the side, Su Ling had a bad feeling.
Yu Ze Si sighed and anxiously replied, βThanks to Dong Empress Dowager, Han Dan has been picked to perform in the ceremony. This is our Yu Familyβs honor. However, last night Yu Han Dan had witnessed a murder case and also encountered the murderer. Iβve heard that the murderer is very cruel and am afraid that he would harm Han Dan; so I would like to ask General Su to send someone to protect her.β
Su Ling hadnβt said anything when Gu Yun, who had been absent-minded, suddenly recovered her thoughts. She didnβt care whether she cut into Su Lingβs conversation or not and just looked at Yu Han Dan, βDid you encounter the murderer? So did you witness a murder? Did you see what he looks like?β
Yu Han Dan was surprised. She silently looked at Su Ling who didnβt flip out. His face didnβt even show a sign of anger, as though Gu Yunβs action wasnβt a big deal. Instead, she found a doting and patient expression. Slowly recovering her sight, Yu Han Dan quietly said, βLast night, my personal servant and I went to Miao Yin store to take a newly-ordered Qin (a chinese traditional instrument). We found that there was a flaw and tuned it several times but it still wasnβt fixed. Therefore, we went home at 9pm. Because it was late, we took a shortcut to come home. When we arrived at a small lane, I sawβ¦β
She had been trying to keep calm, but the thought of last night made her slightly tremble. She took a deep breath, and then continued, βI saw a silver-haired man holding a woman while his other hand was holding a knife. The knifeβ¦ There was still some blood dripping from the knife. I screamed at once. The man turned around and saw us. I was terrified at that time, so I didn’t know how to respond when his eyes met mine. Suddenly, there were people coming so the man turned around and exited a different direction. He was standing in the dark alley, so I couldn’t see his face clearly. I could only vaguely see his face and blade-like eyes.β
So, when she screamed, the murder was in progress. At that time, Ao Tian had only left her for less than a minute. The distance from where he left to the dark alley was quite far, he couldnβt have made it on time! So it could be said that the murderer wasnβt Ao Tian. However, how come his appearance was so coincidental with the murder? Did Ao Tian want to cover for the murderer? Orβ¦ did the murderer want to trap Ao Tian?
Gu Yunβs brain spun at high speed. She was analysing all the possibilities while everyone was waiting for her response. However, she had entered her own world and was oblivious of any other person. The atmosphere inside the study was somewhat awkward.
Su Ling was helpless. After thinking for a moment, he faced Yu Ze Si and said, βIn regards to this case, it should be discussed with Minister Dan and Xing Bu.β It wasnβt as if he didnβt want to help, but the trial case was under Xing Bu investigation.
Yu Ze Si bitterly smiled and replied, βThis old man just came from Xing Bu. Minister Dan said that these days, all of their resources went to investigating the case, so they didn’t have enough manpower. In addition, the celebrationβs security is under General Suβs responsibilities, so this old one hopes that General Su can help to protect my little daughter. This is also a matter of the celebrationβs success. I truly hope the general will agree!β
Damn Dan Yu Lan! He actually sent trouble! Although his heart was unhappy, his face remained calm. Su Ling finally nodded, βI will send a group of soldiers to guard Assistant Ministerβs house to protect the missβ safety.β
Yu Ze Si hesitated for a while. Seeing his treasured daughter, he finally continued, βThis old man heard that the murderer possesses high martial arts as well as being blood-thirsty. I am afraidβ¦β
Under Su Lingβs increasingly dark expression, Yu Ze Siβs voice got smaller. No one under his cold eagle eyes could speak normally, of course, Gu Yun was an exception.
Recovering her thoughts, Gu Yun fortunately listened to Yu Ze Siβs word, so she smiled and replied, βYou want Miss Yu to stay at General Manor since it is the safest place. Is that right?β
Yu Ze Si was just about to nod when Su Ling coldly refused, βNo. There are no women in this General Manor so it would be inconvenient for Miss Yu to live here.β When Su Ling finished, he was also surprised by his own words. Qing Mo was sitting beside him, this sentenceβ¦
Yu Han Danβs face was decorated with a forced smile while Yu Ze Si was gazing at Gu Yun with a strange expression. In contrast to their awkward expressions, Gu Yun freely chuckled self-mockingly. Okay, it seemed that she was not a woman in Su Lingβs eyes.
Not being regarded as a woman could be considered an insult. However, this woman had no problem with it and just chuckled freely. The scar on her face had ruined the beautiful face but it couldnβt conceal the brilliant and magnificent eyes. Yu Ze Si finally realised the womanβs identity. She was a gift that the emperor sentβ¦ Qing Mo. However, Su Ling had actually allowed her to come into the study room. This was very much beyond what he had expected. Aside from being well-known as an accomplished general, knowledgeable in both literary and military aspects, Su Ling was also known by his cold attitude toward women. After looking intensely at the calm woman casually sitting, Yu Ze Si removed his gaze and thought. After a while, he said, βThis old one knows that it is rude to plead this, but the murderer came once last night. Yu Family has only one daughter (Han Dan), so this old oneβ¦β
βWait.β Yu Ze Si hadnβt finished speaking when Gu Yun interrupted him again. Looking at the calm Yu Han Dan again, she pressed, βThe murderer come to look for you last night?β Last night Ao Tian had been in prison so if the murderer had appeared, then it would prove that Ao Tian was not the murderer.
Yu Han Dan hesitated for a moment and then said, βI was inside the room so I didnβt see it. It was Fu Er who saw a dark shadow.β
Just a dark shadow? Gu Yun was a little disappointed. It looked like that girl was panicking and imagined things. If it really was the murderer, how could she still be alive?! Su Lingβs patience had been exhausted so he straightforwardly said, βIn awhile, I will send Su Yu and 500 people to guard Officerβs house, so Minister Yu can rest assured.β
Su Ling had said to that extent, so Yu Ze Si couldnβt say anything again. When he was about to say yes, the woman who had been sitting quietly on the side rose up and stood in front of Su Lingβs table, βThis celebration is important. As a performer, Miss Yu represents Qiong Yue so her safety shouldnβt be a small matter (underestimated). At this time, Su Yu is probably really busy so how about letting her stay here? Anyway, there are a couple of empty rooms in Yi Tian Court. Living alone is very boring (nothing to do), so I ask for Miss Yu as my companion.β
She was capable of getting bored?! Su Lingβs expression looked like he was seeing a ghost when he gazed at Gu Yun. He had never seen her do nothing and sit still at all!
With her back to the Yu father and daughter, Gu Yun made a βquickly say yesβ gesture with her mouth. The knot between Su Lingβs brows became tighter and tighter. Gu Yun was desperately sending him eye signals. Just when her eyes felt cramped and she was ready to give up, she heard Su Ling coldly say, βOkay.β
She better gave him an appropriate explanation! Otherwise⦠Hum!

In the small dark alley, it was pitch black; even the brightness of the moonlight couldnβt reach this dirty and narrow alley. Because of the last case, no one dared to pass the alley during nighttime. Squeaking mice echoed in this rotten alley, sounding so clear yet strange.
βMaster, Ao Tian surrendered himself to Xing Bu. What should we do next?β If it were not for the anxious male voice in the alley, no one would notice that there were people there.
A lean dark shadow stood in front of the man. His hair was dazzling silver, like the color of the moonlight and very pale. The dark surroundings didnβt bother him at all. Because of his dark clothes, this kind of surrounding, in fact, made him feel more comfortable.
βHave you found the identity of the woman yet?β The cold man voice was a little bit hoarse, like the sound of an elderly man. However, just by looking at the figure, people would guess that he was unlikely an elderly man.
The man respectfully replied, βShe is called Qing Mo, a Hao Yue person, who was sent by the Hao Yue people as a tribute. Her sisters, Qing Ling married Lou Xi Yan while Qing Feng has been given a title βQing Concubineβ.β
So that woman had such a background. Recalling the way Ao Tian protected her the other day, the bright red lips coldly raised.
Ao Tian ahβ¦ Ao Tianβ¦ I donβt believe that I canβt lure you to escape the prison.
***
Sixty-eightβ¦ Sixty-nineβ¦ Seventyβ¦ Seventy-one…
Yu Han Dan put a hand on her chest and widened her eyes, looking at Gu Yun who was hanging on the tree branch and using her arm strength to pull herself up. Her breath was already disordered and she had been doing 80 pull-upsβ¦ Wasnβt she tired? It was unimaginable that with her slender arms, which were almost as the same size as Han Danβs, she could do so many pull ups. Her sweat was dripping and her face was red due to the strenuous exercise. However, those determined eyes were telling Han Dan that she wouldnβt give up until she accomplished her target goal. Indeed, although the last few pull-ups were very strenuous, Gu Yun still finished her 100 pull-ups goal. After she accomplished that, she released her grip from the tree.
Lightly landing on the ground, Gu Yun tiredly sat on the grass and panted.
Glaring at the sweaty and somewhat awkward casual Gu Yun, Yu Han Danβs lips subconsciously raised up. This woman had an unusual charm, it was no wonder that Su Ling made a special exception for her.
βWhy did you help me?β Yu Han Dan didnβt understand, didnβt Gu Yun like Su Ling? If Gu Yun did, why would she allow a woman to stay in the General Manor? Was she so confident that she didnβt view any woman as a threat?
βWhat?β Gu Yun had just finished exercising, so she wasnβt paying attention to Han Danβs words. For these split seconds, Yu Han Dan actually thought that Gu Yun looked down at any other woman or ratherβ¦ she simply didnβt think about it. Meeting Yu Han Danβs puzzled eyes, Gu Yun smiled, βIt was for your safety, ah.β
Yu Han Dan scoffed, but a good upbringing didnβt allow her to do such an unrefined thing like rolling her eyes. Elegantly sitting beside Gu Yun, Yu Han Dan looked at the mountain and asked, βJust ask anything you want to ask.β
Gu Yun slightly raised her brow and smiled, βYou are really sharp, but I found out what I needed to know, so I donβt need to ask you anymore.β She went to Xing Bu in the afternoon and had read all the things that she needed to read. She believed that Yu Han Dan didnβt lie and knew that Han Dan had said everything she knew. Gu Yun let her stay in the General Manor to ensure her safety because her confession could somewhat explain that Ao Tian couldnβt have done the crime within such a small period of time. Therefore, if the real murderer wanted to harm Ao Tian, he would come find Han Dan.
Gu Yun had said it like that, so Yu Han Dan didnβt want to rebuff again. She gently opened a wooden box beside her. Inside of the box was a seven-stringed qin covered by dark emerald colored gems. Placing the qin onto her lap, Yu Han Dan gently stroked the strings. The clear tones composed into beautiful music.
Although Gu Yun didnβt know anything about music, she could feel that the qin was really expensive and that Yu Han Danβs skills were very good.
Putting both of her hand behind her head, Gu Yun laid down on the grass, looking up. She saw the tree branch that she used as a pull-up bar gently sway while she listened to the music. Gu Yun secretly sighed; a beautiful woman should be like this. Su Ling couldnβt be blamed for not considering her as a woman. With Han Dan as a comparison, she really didnβt look like a woman.
Gently closing her eyes, Gu Yun suddenly felt a strange feeling. It was like⦠she was being watched! Gu Yun quickly opened her eyes, the strings were still vibrating but the beautiful music had stopped.
***
Inside a cold cell, there was only a small window. The bright moonlight came from outside of the prison, dimly lighting the room. The light was only enough to see a man sitting on a bed, his slender body very straight and leaned against the stone wall. His silver hair appeared more dazzling than usual in this dark room. This quarter was too quiet, revealing a strange atmosphere. Although this place wasnβt very popular, occasionally there would be some officers patrolling around. However, tonight, all of them seemed to disappear without a trace.
βI didnβt expect Qiong Yueβs great prison would be this comfortable.β A hoarse male voice was heard from the outside. Suddenly, a dark shadow unexpectedly appeared, standing in front of the male prisoner. His hair was also as silver as Ao Tian. Their appearances were likewise similar. However, he looked a lot older than Ao Tian. From a single look, the two looked truly alike. The only thing that distinguished them was that Ao Tian had an icy cold aura while the other man was covered with a brutal and murderous aura.
Ao Tianβs darker than the night eyes slowly opened, but he didnβt look at the man outside the door nor did he reply to the words. Although Ao Tianβs expression was unclear, the cold aura became more and more obvious.
Seeing Ao Tian remain motionless, a cold and brutal expression flashed in the manβs eyes. With a low voice full of irony, he said, βThis is the first I knew that Ao Tian could also shirk. Do you plan to hide here for a lifetime?β
Ao Tian remained sitting there like there was no one outside the cell talking to him. The manβs hand subconsciously shook a bit. A cold smirk appeared on his face and he said, βThe little miss last time was quite beautiful. I donβt know whether she will have the same βtasteβ as her look.β
Ao Tian was surprised. Although it wasnβt obvious, it was enough to be noticed by the other man. His laugh became louder. He knew it! He knew that he could win the bet this time! The manβs hoarse laugh echoed in the nearly empty cell. Not glancing at Ao Tian again, he strode out.
Finally, the aloof and silent Ao Tian suddenly shouted, βStop.β
The man paused his step and heard an imperfect icy cold voice from behind him say, βIf you donβt want to die, donβt ever touch her!β
The manβs heart jumped, what an aggressive manner. He was indeed a member of the Ao Family, born with a cruel bloodthirsty nature. Not knowing whether his accelerated heartbeat was due to excitement or fear, the hoarse-voiced man replied, βDonβt worry, I will leave her corpse whole.β
Finished speaking, the man didnβt turn back again and quickly went away. Ao Tian, I donβt believe that you will not go out!
***
Gu Yun opened her eyes and got up. The strings were still trembling but the beautiful music had stopped. Yu Han Dan was shocked and startled, not daring to move. The courtyard was very quiet, but nothing was abnormal. The night breeze gently blew, from time to time leaves were falling down. After waiting for a long time and there was still no movement. Yu Han Dan couldnβt help but ask, βWhat happened?β
Gu Yun concentrated on observing the surroundings for a long time. The feeling of being watched had disappeared. Was she too nervous? Or did the person hide too well? Her heart was uncertain. Gu Yun didnβt talk much to Yu Han Dan. She took off her hand from the qin and replied, βNothing, you can continue.β
How could she just tell her (Han Dan) to continue? Earlier, Gu Yun absurdly placed her hand on the qin, making Yu Han Dan shocked and all her intention to play vanished. Yu Han Danβs expression became worse.
Seeing Yu Han Dan angry, Gu Yun didnβt intend to explain so the two just sat on the ground like that. The atmosphere was quite heavy. At this time, Su Ren suddenly appeared outside the court gate.
He was about to say hello, but when he saw the two sitting next to each other in silence, he stopped. Gu Yun was somewhat tense and Yu Han Dan looked angry. In his memories of Yu Han Dan, she was an elegant lady, a little bit lofty but her words were soft and gentle. Sometimes, she could be quite shy but overall she had an excellent education at home. Qing Mo was truly awesome; she could turn this kind of woman hostile in less than a day.
After all, he had no experience in dealing with the war between women! He stood there for a long time. Su Ren was still thinking whether to go in or hide away. One had already become Big Brotherβs woman, while the other wanted to become Big Brotherβs woman. He couldnβt offend any of them.
He was preparing to retreat when Yu Han Dan noticed his figure. Putting the qin aside, Yu Han Dan quickly stood up and made a bow while greeting, βCommander Su.β
Gu Yun was somewhat dumbfounded. The eyes that were glaring at her before, like they were going to fall out at any moment, now turned gentle as water. Although it looked better, the quick change was actually quite scary!
Su Ren was stupefied and quickly smiled, βMiss Yu. Are you comfortable living here? If you need something, you could tell me.β
Yu Han Dan gently smiled and softly replied, βCommander Su is being too polite.β
Yu Han Dan was being polite as she usually is, but because of the close distance, Gu Yun could hear the tremble in her voice and her beautiful eyes were lowered like she didnβt dare to look at Su Ren. When she was with Su Ling this afternoon, she looked really calm. How could this happen? Was she…
Gu Yun secretly speculated, but she didnβt dare to overestimate her ability to analyse emotion, so Gu Yun told Su Ren, βWhat are you doing here? Did you hear that there is a beauty and quickly rushed here?β
Gu Yun had just finished speaking, but Yu Han Dan was secretly glaring at her. Yu Han Danβs face became redder. Gu Yun secretly smiled. With this kind of expression, her guess shouldnβt be wrong. She looked again at Su Ren and saw him stupefied. He quickly said, βDonβt speak nonsense! It was Big Brother who asked me to call you!β
He was βthat eagerβ to explain, ah! There must be a problem! However, the way Su Ren looked at Yu Han Dan was not particularly warm or fascinated, ah! Was it that the woman had intention but the man was ignorant? (θ½θ±ζζγζ΅ζ°΄ζ ζ , the flower had intention but the flowing water was merciless). Gu Yun was confused. Her brain was indeed not suitable to analyse anything related to love!
Standing up and patting the grass off her body, Gu Yun knew that Su Ling was waiting for her to explain her actions today. After all, she had insisted on Yu Han Dan staying.
Gu Yunβs foot just motioned to step out when Su Ren noticed a strange flash coming from the tree behind her. He quickly shouted, βWhoβs there?β At the same time, he jumped up and rushed towards the big tree. Gu Yun only saw a violent shaking of the tree leaves and she knew there was a person on top of the tree.
Gu Yun quickly took the dazed Yu Han Dan into the inner room. She waited and observed first.
The dense leaves on the tree violently shook. Gu Yun was secretly surprised. This person could soundlessly appear from the forest behind General Manor. He must have a good martial artsΒ skill. She didnβt know whether Su Ren was his equal opponent or not.
She just wanted to shout for help while striding forward with Bing Liang, when two figures, one clothed in white and the other in black, arrived at the yard. Under the darkness of the night, the black-clothed manβs silver hair was exceptionally bright.
Ao Tian! Seeing the coming man clearly, Gu Yun and Yu Han Dan were surprised. What surprised Gu Yun was how Ao Tian could appear here. Wasnβt he in the jail? Meanwhile, Yu Han Dan was afraid. The bloody scene that night was appearing again in front of her eyes. She shrank behind Gu Yun, and her hands tightly grabbed Gu Yunβs sleeves.
Su Ren didnβt have a weapon at hand, so he just used his bare hands. Ao Tian also didnβt have his sword so although the fight was quite violent, it was unlikely anyone would die. Gu Yun was secretly relieved and put Yu Han Dan behind her. Wait and see.
Ao Tian appeared to want to leave, so facing Su Ren, his attacks became more ruthless as he aimed a heavy punch towards Su Renβs chest. Yu Han Dan immediately became nervous and shouted, βBe careful!β Gu Yun frowned. Now, she could determine Miss Yuβs heart to some extent, because her arm could quickly be fractured by this Miss Yu.
Even with Yu Han Danβs warning, Su Ren didnβt have time to dodge the punch. He got punched and had to retreat several steps. His chest was really pained; it was estimated he suffered an internal injury.
Ao Tian didnβt look at him and turned around, wanting to leave. However, a flaming hot sword was coming towards his torso. Ao Tian quickly dodged, but the sword had blocked his path!
At this time, Su Ling had Chi Xue in his hand and his eagle eyes coldly looked at Ao Tian. Ao Tian indeed dared to come to his General Manor. Fine! The last time in the back mountains, he had let Ao Tian escape. This time, Ao Tian will not have such good luck!
In Ao Tianβs cold eyes, there was also a ruthless expression. The wound on his arm was given to him by Su Ling. Last time, because he was saving Qing Mo, he didnβt really fight with Su Ling. This time, he wanted to let Su Ling to feel the powerful Che Ling sword. His hand slowly moved to his waist and slowly waved. Suddenly a black bendable sword appeared in his hand.
These two people didnβt exchange much of nonsensical words but quickly rushed towards each other like two bulls looking at a red flag. Chi Xueβs blazing heat met Che Lingβs flexibility. Su Lingβs powerful style met Ao Tianβs strange martial arts. It was tough to determine who had the upperhand. However, both of them were fighting like they didnβt care about their lives anymore!
Gu Yun could no longer stand still anymore and stepped forward. She shouted, βAo Tian, Su Ling, donβt fight anymore!β The main point now was figuring out why Ao Tian came here!
Unfortunately, the two bulls didnβt hear Gu Yunβs words and still fought with such a devotion, the attacks became even more vicious. The tiger hadnβt shown her power so they treated her like a sick cat!
Yu Han Dan had just heard Gu Yun shout out loud when the small body charged towards the swords! Did she no longer want her life?! Or did she actually think that she could stop the flame between those two men?! Yu Han Danβs heart was in her throat; she was afraid to see another blood spattering scene again and quickly closed her eyes.
She heard Gu Yun shout, βBing Lian!β A freezing cold air came from the inner house. Yu Han Dan opened her eyes and saw a white flash. Gu Yunβs hand held a snow white longsword. The blade was slender but sharp.
With a sword in her hand, she rushed between the two men and waved the sword between the two entwined blades…
These days, she had been training with sword hard and had a greater understanding on how to handle the sword. In addition, Gu Yun was very angry right now, so the swordβs power was larger than usual. The clashing sword sounds were harsher and ear piercing. Su Ling and Ao Tian were pushed back about thirty feet away by the cold sword.
Gu Yunβs tigress mouth was also numbed because of the sword, but she still angrily shouted, βIβve told you to stop! Whoever still dares to move, I will chop him off!β
The power of the tigress roar had made the whole Yi Tian court dead quiet. It was so quiet that the only sound Yu Han Dan could hear was her own heartbeat.

I kinda almost pity Su Ling at this point. I mean he has manly looks, money, power, and prestige; but can’t attract a single woman? That’s kinda pathetic. I mean look at Yu Han Dan and that jungle leader woman. One chose Su Ren and the other completely gave up. Which makes me weirdly admire them for their smart decision.

“Qing Mo was truly awesome; she could turn this kind of woman hostile in less than a day.” Su Ren makes me laugh. I like his character a lot due to his insight and much more open mind than his brothers’. I am actually a bit unhappy that his character barely shows up in the novel.
Also, because I like him so much, I seriously hope he doesn’t end up with two-faced Yu Han Dan. She seems too boring too. A man like Su Ren, who appreciates Gu Yun’s abilities, should find a much more awesome girl than that…. Then again, I reckon those girls were scarce in that era.
