Hearing this, Ying Zijin’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Sinai was also her blood relative.
So she couldn’t see Sinai’s past or future.
She could only conclude that the ones who drugged Sinai were under the command of Ta and Yao Guang, and that the drug was concocted by the Magician.
As for Xiluo?
Ying Zijin took out her phone and contacted Di Wu Yue.
[Did you do it?]
[Di Wu Yue]: Hey hey hey, Master, has your father returned? Yes, Master, I’m super amazing! The people in the Hua Country Divination World call the Di Wu Master hehe.
[Di Wu Yue]: By the way, Master, I gave the armor you made to my grandpa, he’s so happy that he can fly without Inner Strength, and he shows off to a group of old n in the Ancient Martial World every day.
Ying Zijin: "..."
She lowered her eyes, eyelashes drooping.
Unfortunately, once the body reaches its limit, neither Ancient Martial Arts nor Alchemical dicine can extend life any further.
Di Wu Chuan is, Feng Xiu is too.
As soon as Luyan’s words fell, the entire living room fell silent.
Su Wen’s expression changed drastically: "What?"
Xiluo was even more stiff, raising her head with so disbelief: "Big, Big Brother?"
How did Luyan know about this?
Luyan did not speak, rely tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
But this silent act felt to Xiluo like the weight of Mount Tai, her nerves on the verge of breaking.
"Big Brother, it wasn’t !" Xiluo was panicked, "I didn’t want her to die, I only suggested it to my teacher, beyond that I know nothing!"
She had been studying incognito at the Sage Academy for over twenty years, while Sinai had already made her na at the research institute in her teens.
Xiluo just couldn’t let it go.
But who would have thought that the people Ta sent would intend to kill Sinai?
"Slap!"
A crisp sound echoed.
Xiluo was slapped, her face instantly swelling and bruising.
Su Wen didn’t hold back.
Her fingers were trembling with anger: "She’s your biological sister from the sa womb!"
"Biological sister?" Xiluo fell to the ground and suddenly sneered, "Look, you only ever cared about her, did you ever care about ?"
"As long as she pitied herself, you would do anything to satisfy her!"
When Sinai was young, she could act spoiled to Su Wen and Luyan, but Xiluo had to study day after day at the Sage Academy.
"You were taken away by the hall leaders of the Sage Academy since you were little." Luyan’s brow was calm, "Susu and I went to see you several tis, but were turned away, saying you needed to focus on your studies."
"And now you turn around and help the Sage Academy against your family, and you still bla us for not having family affection for you?"
"As for you saying that Little Sinai pitied herself to and A Yuan?" Su Wen said coldly, "I wish she would be a bit warr, cry when in pain, and co to us when bullied, but she wouldn’t do any of that!"
Sinai was cold by nature from a young age and kept everything to herself.
This ti, after becoming younger, she was much more lively.
"So, the ones who were after you were also the Sage Tower’s people?" Suwen turned her head, her voice trembling.
Luyan nodded: "Originally, I wasn’t sure who it was, but now that she has confessed, it’s undoubtedly the Sage Tower."
The Guard Squad trained by the Sage Tower was stronger than even the Four Great Knight Orders.
And naturally far surpassed the Leaangle family’s Hidden Guards.
"It was the Sage Tower." Ying Zijin poured a glass of water and handed it to Luyan, "Yesterday, they also followed her intentions and tried to cripple my hands and legs."
Luyan and Su Wen were not aware of this yet.
As soon as they heard, no matter how composed they were, they were extrely furious.
They could endure anything, but when it ca to Ying Zijin, they could not bear it at all.
"Take her away." Luyan said coldly, "Punish her with ten tis the severity according to the family rules, but she mustn’t die."
The steward imdiately responded: "Yes!"
Xiluo’s face turned deathly pale, her clothes soaked in cold sweat.
Not allowing her to die, was it not a fate worse than death?
The steward was just about to instruct the guards to co over, but upon turning around, was so frightened that his phone almost fell, and he imdiately stood straight: "Lord Hermit!"
"Mr. Xiu." Luyan looked up and stood up, very respectfully, "You are here."
"No no no, no need for you." Xiu was choked, "I still have to call your daughter ’Boss Lady’."
Luyan: "...???"
Ying Zijin glanced at his orange hair and comnted, "Today you are as bright as the sun."
"That’s right." Xiu touched his hair, "Yan recomnded it to , I think it looks pretty good too."
Ling Mianxi followed in obediently: "Hello, Uncle."
Qin Lingyu and Yu Xuesheng also called out, both saying "Uncle".
Luyan: "..."
He suspected there was sothing wrong with his mory, and it couldn’t be fixed.
However, the butler remained as composed as Su Wen: "Head of the Family, our place houses several Sages. Miss Qin and Miss Ling are my mahjong friends."
On the side, Xiluo was completely stunned.
Suddenly, she scread hysterically, roaring out loud: "It’s not real! This isn’t real!"
She had been used as a pawn by the Sages, while Ying Zijin was on brotherly terms with them?!
How could this be?
Why, and based on what?
"No—no!" Xiluo struggled, "I want to tell Her Majesty the Empress, I still want to tell Master Ta, let them kill you!"
But she no longer had the chance to speak.
Yun Shan sealed her mute acupoint with Inner Strength, as the Guard Squad ca forward to drag Xiluo away.
Xiu also knew he shouldn’t disturb the family reunion, so he went upstairs with Ling Mianxi and the others.
Only the family was left in the living room.
"Head of the Family." The butler couldn’t hold back anymore and choked up, "It’s wonderful you could co back."
"Yes, I’m back." Luyan softened his expression, "Being able to see you all is my greatest fortune."
He removed his mask, revealing his full visage.
From the corner of the man’s right eye down to his neck, there was a jagged scar, twisting nacingly.
Yet this scar didn’t diminish his handsoness, but rather accentuated his authority.
Su Wen’s hand trembled, and tears fell again.
Luyan rarely grew anxious: "It’s quite unsightly, don’t look. Let put the mask back on."
"No need!" Su Wen grabbed his hand, smiling through tears, "This is your mark as a man."
"Susu, you still look so young, but I—" Luyan’s voice was hoarse, "I’ve already aged."
His temples had gained traces of white.
"What does that matter?" Su Wen just smiled, wiping away tears, "Everyone ages, and you’re not old."
The butler recalled the most important thing: "Head of the Family, how did you return? The first lady thought you were gone."
"I was ambushed but didn’t die. It was my other Dead Guard who impersonated and went to his death in my stead." Luyan spoke, "But I was severely injured and nearly dying."
"Yet for twenty years, I couldn’t return, not only because I was badly hurt, but my hippocampus was damaged, losing all mory."
The hippocampus is a crucial part of the human brain, responsible for storing long-term mory.
Fu Yunshen turned his head slowly and said, "Li Xini found Uncle at a small town in southern Hua Country, saved by a fishing family, living with them all these years, going out to sea to fish."
"Correct." Luyan glanced at Fu Yunshen, paused, "I always thought I was a fisherman. My body deteriorated recently, almost dying, until soone found and used dical equipnt to awaken my mory."
This was sothing Ying Zijin had calculated.
She originally suspected that Luyan might have beco a vegetative state or lost mories.
So when she had IBI search nationwide, she specifically prepared the mory Awakener here in the City of the World.
"Then I learned Yaoyao was running for Head of the Family, and the Sage Academy surely had a conspiracy." Luyan continued, "When I regained so strength, I imdiately returned to the City of the World."
Ying Zijin chuckled lightly: "Dad, you actually needn’t co."
"How could I not co?" Luyan smiled, "You’re my daughter, and even though you’re capable on your own, I still want to be here."
As he said this, he started coughing violently again.
This ti he coughed up blood.
The butler’s expression changed: "Head of the Family!"
"Rest first." Su Wen’s face also changed, she quickly helped Luyan up, "Yaoyao is skilled in Ancient dicine, listen to her, wait to recover before discussing further."
"Alright." Luyan didn’t refuse, drank another glass of water Ying Zijin handed over, tightly holding Su Wen’s hand, "Let’s go upstairs."
**
On the other side.
Yao Guang and Ta returned to the Headquarters.
Hearing movent, Zhou Yan opened his eyes: "Back?"
"You still don’t know what happened, do you?" Ta shrugged, "Luyan actually survived."
Zhou Yan’s expression didn’t change much: "If he survived, he survived."
"Indeed." Ta turned his head, smiling, "Zhou Yan, prepare for action."
"It’s ti to welco the Master’s return."
Ta snapped his fingers.
"Buzz—"
At the horizon, dark clouds suddenly overwheld the city!
