The father and son finally learned to see things from each other's perspective, to be considerate of each other, to compromise with each other, and began to communicate normally.

Yanfei lost his mother at a young age, and his father was mentally challenged, so he had never imagined such a happy and harmonious family atmosphere.

He was extremely grateful to Yu Ling and regarded her as a close friend.

That day, Yan Yukou returned home in a panic after court. He found Yu Ling and Yan Fei and told them to quickly leave the capital to avoid trouble, as he heard that there were traitors planning to rebel.

Another rebellion?

How come there are rebellions in every dynasty!

Yu Ling quickly asked, "Does Lord Yan know the background of that rebel?"

Yan Yukou said, "It's said that wealthy merchants who came south and several governors from the surrounding areas were involved. Oh, right, that organization that specializes in taking lives was also involved. I think it's called... Blood Shadow Pavilion?"

Yu Ling never expected that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes would also rebel. How come he didn't see that Chi Yue had such great ambitions?

Do you need help?

His identity was a ticking time bomb, and the Yan family couldn't protect him in the end. Only someone like Chi Yue, who not only had martial arts skills comparable to the protagonist but was also the head of a powerful force, could protect him.

"Lord Yan, you and Young Master Yan Fei should leave the city first to avoid trouble. I have some matters to attend to, so I won't be traveling with you."

Yu Ling said solemnly,

"Thank you very much for your hospitality these past few days, Lord Yan. I am extremely grateful."

Yan Yukou didn't care about Yu Ling as much as he cared for his son. Seeing that she insisted on staying, he didn't try to persuade her further and packed his things to leave.

The gates of the Yan residence were locked, and Yu Ling wandered alone in the streets. For the first time in this world, she felt free, without having to act or pretend.

But only by dealing with the time bomb of her identity can she achieve more freedom. With this in mind, Yu Ling began planning her next move.

But he still didn't understand. Chi Yue wanted to rebel, and he wasn't stopping him, so why didn't he take him along?

Yu Ling found an inn in the capital to stay in and waited quietly. Time passed quickly and the day when the chaos broke out arrived.

The gates of the capital were opened by an inside agent, and the people kept their doors and windows tightly shut. All that could be heard was the clamor of men and horses, which gradually grew louder and then faded, and flames rose everywhere.

The rebellion to overthrow the emperor began. Countless guards emerged from the palace to protect key locations. At the same time, the Imperial Guards assembled and marched out of the city to meet the enemy. They held swords and their eyes gleamed with ferocity as they stared intently at Chi Yue and his group.

One of them recognized an official standing next to Chi Yue and immediately shouted angrily, "Lord Zhou? How dare you?! This is treason, a capital offense!"

The man called Lord Zhou sneered: "A capital offense? You'd better have the ability to take my life first!"

As they spoke, the group began to fight simultaneously, with the Imperial Guards and the private army clashing in battle.

Holding a sharp sword, Chi Yue charged towards one of the Imperial Guards who was being attacked by the crowd. The man was not to be outdone and tried his best to resist the attacks. However, he was no match for the onslaught. The swords rained down on the man and pierced his chest in an instant, causing blood to spurt out.

A strange look flashed in Chi Yue's eyes, and his long sword pierced the throat of another Imperial Guard. Lord Zhou exclaimed in surprise at the sight, praising Chi Yue's skill.

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Guards raised their weapons and rushed towards Chi Yue, but they couldn't get close to her at all. Suddenly, a tremendous force descended from the sky, blasting them all away.

The Imperial Guards fell to the ground, struggled for a moment, and then stopped moving. Only then did Chi Yue look at the person who had just made the move. Yu Ling, dressed in black, was standing not far away with a gloomy face.

Upon seeing this, Chi Yue's pupils contracted sharply, and she said, "Don't come any closer!"

However, as soon as he spoke, Yu Ling rushed over to fight alongside him, and screams and the clash of weapons rang out all around, and the Imperial Guards fell to the ground at an accelerated pace.

Yu Ling didn't kill him. He spent 10 survival points to buy some strong anesthetic, applied it to the needle, and then injected the person while he was giving injections. The person would fall down as if he were dead.

The longer you live, the more you know. Even a stupid pig can become smart, let alone Yu Ling, who is already very insightful.

Just by observing Chi Yue's movements, he knew what the other party was planning.

Soon, the Imperial Guards were all defeated, and almost all of them "died" at the hands of Chi Yue and Yu Ling. No one from Lord Zhou's group noticed anything amiss, and they quickly and smoothly stormed into the palace.

During this time, many officials who remained in the capital waited for news with the emperor in the court. When they saw that the rebels had actually succeeded, many of them were so frightened that they began to run around in panic.

"Where are my Blood Shadow Pavilion servants?!"

At Chi Yue's command, all the high-ranking assassins of the Blood Shadow Pavilion emerged from various hidden corners and quickly took control of the ministers.

Chi Yue herself charged toward the emperor alone.

His swordsmanship seemed to have improved again; the imperial guards were no match for him, and soon, the longsword was at the emperor's neck. The emperor did not move, seemingly accepting the situation.

At this point, Lord Zhou finally couldn't help but burst into unrestrained laughter.

After secretly holding back for so many years, he finally succeeded!

"Your Majesty, I have offended you. You might as well obediently abdicate; perhaps you can save your life!" Lord Zhou, now in the center of the room, began his victory speech. "Gentlemen, you are too kind. Of course, I am not a cruel person. If there are any who are willing to submit, their official positions will remain unchanged!"

All the ministers looked at the emperor, who didn't even move his buttocks, as if he had tacitly agreed. Then, quite a few spineless ones actually knelt down. Even a few important ministers remained calm, pushed away the assassins who had restrained them, and repeatedly congratulated Lord Zhou.
