Chapter 219

The man in blue who appeared earlier?

Qin Su was taken aback.

No wonder the maid was uncertain.

Because the list of secret guards assigned to the direct descendants is never made public, but is kept by the head of the family.

The current head of the Su family is Qin Su's great-grandmother, who possesses profound cultivation and spends most of her time in seclusion.

Not wanting to disturb her, Qin Su simply sat there and waited for the man in blue to return and report.

After finishing his business, the man in blue returned to see her immediately.

“Young Miss, I have found someone else to temporarily take over the management authority and arranged three months of etiquette training for the guards. The new guards will be coming to the palace soon. Here is the list of personnel.”

Qin Su reached out her hand.

She was sitting in a chair, while the man in blue was standing.

The man in blue thought she wanted the list, so he stepped forward, bent down, and handed her a piece of paper.

Qin Su did not take the paper, but instead placed her finger on the edge of the mask on his face.

The man in blue froze: "Young Miss...?"

Qin Su raised her head, revealing her elegant and beautiful long neck, with her fair and delicate skin extending all the way to the overlapping light blue collar.

Her jade-like fingers paused, and she politely asked, "May I see your face?"

"This..." The man in blue was in a state of utter confusion. "Why...we usually don't..."

Generally speaking, they do not show their faces.

But the close proximity filled his vision with Qin Su's luscious lips, dark eyebrows and bright, clear eyes, and he could also faintly smell the rich fragrance of a woman, making it difficult for him to find the words to express himself.

Qin Su was just asking casually, not caring whether he actually agreed or not. With a flick of her finger, she removed his mask.

The man in blue: "..."

He had been wearing the mask for so long that he was used to it. When someone suddenly took it off, he felt like he was naked. He stood there like a stone, not daring to move an inch.

Especially when he felt Qin Su's gaze moving inch by inch across his face.

His eyes were lowered, his eyelashes fluttered, his skin, which had been deprived of sunlight for many years, was somewhat pale, his lips were light in color, and his features were delicate; he had a very handsome face.

But it wasn't Ye Yan's face.

Qin Su may use different names in each world, but her appearance and body will always be her own.

Ye Yan encountered the same face several times.

Qin Su held the mask and stared at the man in blue for a long time before asking, "What's your name?"

The man in blue answered in a low voice, "Ye Yan."

Qin Su nodded, put the mask back on his face, and carefully checked it. Looking at the blue-robed man's ears, which were slowly turning red, she said with an ambiguous meaning, "Not bad, a very good name."

The man in blue stood there, his heart pounding, watching her turn and walk away.

Miss... what does this mean?

******

Lin Ke left the Su family and hurriedly returned home.

He omitted the humiliation he suffered in the main hall, only telling his parents that the eldest daughter of the Su family was a very kind person who not only returned his engagement tokens but also gave him many medicinal herbs out of consideration for the past friendship between the two families.

Lin Ke's parents exchanged bewildered glances and asked in surprise, "What was the relationship between our two families in the past?"

How many years would it take to calculate the extent of their friendship?

But the things Lin Ke brought back were never fake. Lin's parents sighed, "It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow. Although we couldn't become in-laws, we didn't misjudge him back then."

Lin Ke forced a smile, handed the pearl to them, and made a few perfunctory remarks.

Looking at the beads, Lin's mother suddenly remembered something: "I remember when our family got engaged to the Su family, we spent a long time thinking about what gift to give as a token of our engagement. There was an ancestral jade pendant. Where is that jade pendant now?"

Lin's father said, "That's right. I've forgotten about it all these years. The jade pendant should still be in the old house. Ke'er, go and look for it later. If you find it, you might be able to exchange it for some money."

Lin Ke didn't remember having any jade pendants at home, but his parents said so, so he went to look for them.

He was in a hurry while boiling the medicine and tending the fire. His palm was cut by the sharp end of the firewood, and blood flowed out instantly. He frowned, too lazy to bandage it, wiped it casually on his clothes, and went to rummage through the chests and cabinets in the old house.

After searching for a while, Lin Ke's eyes lit up when he opened a dusty box.

Found it! They actually found a jade pendant.

Moreover, this piece of jade is lustrous and of excellent quality, making it very valuable at first glance.

Lin Ke quickly picked it up and examined it carefully.

The moment the jade pendant was held in the palm of the hand, the blood that was still seeping from the palm was rapidly absorbed by the jade pendant, and the center of the emerald green jade pendant suddenly changed, giving rise to a red line.

Lin Ke's vision went black for a moment. He steadied himself by holding onto the bookshelf, and when he looked up again, there was a handsome, aloof man with fine eyes and eyebrows floating in the air, half-real and half-illusory.

Lin Ke almost thought he was seeing a ghost. He quickly stepped back and looked at the man warily.

The man sized him up and down, then said unhappily, "Who are you? Where's my wife?"

Lin Ke: "?"

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" he said weakly. "My name is Lin Ke, who are you?"

It emerged from his family's ancestral jade pendant. Could it be one of his ancestors?

The man's expression hardened slightly upon hearing his name: "Lin Ke... why does that name sound so familiar?"

Lin Ke reminded him, "Do you know someone from my ancestors? Just now, as soon as I picked up the jade pendant, it touched my blood, and you appeared."

The man was naturally Ye Yan.

He had originally been unable to recall where he was because he had traveled to so many places with Qin Su. But now, struck by the scene described by Lin Ke, he suddenly remembered where he was.

Lin Ke is the male protagonist of a male-oriented novel about breaking off an engagement. You are his cheat code and half a mentor.

So, what about Susu in this world...?

Ye Yan suddenly floated half a meter up and slapped Lin Ke on the head.

Lin Ke was seeing stars after being hit. He covered the back of his head and asked in a daze, "Why...why did you hit me?"

Ye Yan said disdainfully, "I'm hitting you, what reason do I need?"

This person was actually engaged to Su Su's identity. Although it wasn't the real Su Su, I'm still so angry. I really want to beat him to death.

Wait, no, he remembered something he had overlooked.

He's already been to this world once, so why would he come again?

Could it be that Su Su has re-entered this place? Why?

Ye Yan recalled the first time he came to this world, his expression changed, and he immediately forgot about settling scores with Lin Ke.

"Get out of here quickly, we're going to the Su family's house now!"

Lin Ke: "...Why? I just went to the Su family today and only got back a short while ago."

Ye Yan said hurriedly, "Just go when I tell you to, hurry up!"

Lin Ke refused, saying, "No, I'm still brewing medicine. The herbs are very expensive, and I can't waste them."

Ye Yan took a deep breath and made a deal with him: "Listen to me, and I'll help you cure your parents later."

"Really?" Lin Ke wasn't very trusting of this person of unknown origin.

Ye Yan waved his hand effortlessly, and the bookshelf next to them shattered into a pile of dust right in front of them.

"Do you believe me now?"

Lin Ke's eyes widened, and he nodded frantically: "I believe you, I believe you! I'll go put out the fire right now, senior, let's go outside!"

At that moment, Qin Su happened to pass by the location of the outer mountain of the Su family.

The newly arrived outer disciples were lining up to enter, and her gaze inadvertently swept across the crowd, catching sight of a familiar face.

Ye Yan?
