The rules state that there are no outsiders allowed on the estate.

If there is one, do not approach it, or kill it directly.

Shen Yuan stood up and led Bai Sang toward the main gate.

Bai Sang looked around to make sure no one was watching, then asked in a low voice, "Do you remember who came?"

Shen Yuan's voice was calm and steady, "No matter who it is, they are people the rules require us to kill."

"By the way, both Mo Yuan and I can confirm that those rules are genuine."

As they spoke, the two had already reached the gate.

Behind them, Mo Yuan stood by the study window, quietly watching their backs.

"Chen Yuan, you've grown taller in just a few days. Come here and let your uncle give you a hug."

A man with a hearty smile walked in through the doorway.

After the man stepped through the gate with one foot in front of the other, he seemed to be painted with vibrant colors, and even his smile appeared genuine.

Shen Yuan took a step back, dodging the man's attempt to embrace her.

The man was clearly hurt and looked at Shen Yuan with disbelief.

"Uncle."

Bai Sang recalled how she remembered how she addressed her uncle, Shen Yuan, and then spoke.

“Young Master has grown up and is no longer suitable for such close contact with people.”

The man raised his hand to touch Shen Yuan's head.

“I’m his uncle, so what? Does he look down on his uncle?”

Shen Yuan took a step back, avoiding the man's movement.

Then he tilted his head.

"Uncle, that person saw us, that's bad."

Oh, his dad and his uncle don't get along.

Bai Sang lowered her head and remained silent.

But the flames of war suddenly shifted to her.

“I told you last time I came that this maid needed to be dealt with, why did you keep her?”

"Alright, I'm already here, I'll take care of it for you. I guarantee that woman won't be able to say a word."

[What's going on? Isn't he Shen Yuan's uncle? Why is he going to punish my sister Sang?]

What did my sister Sang do wrong? She was just a harmless maid.

I wonder if the streamer will turn the tables on me.

Oh right, the rules say that if necessary, kill anyone who comes from outside the manor.

[Shen Yuan says the rules are correct, does that mean he has to kill his uncle?]

These things aren't important. What's important is that my sister Sang can't be punished.

Bai Sang was also a little confused.

How could they start discussing how to kill her right in front of her?

Shen Yuan shook his head.

"No, she has to live."

The man looked at Shen Yuan with a hint of disappointment.

"You still haven't remembered the first lesson I taught you. What did that guy surnamed Mo teach you?"

Shen Yuan glanced back in Mo Yuan's direction.

"Uncle, I'm so glad you came to see me."

What Bai Sang saw in Shen Yuan's eyes was the light of true happiness.

"Uncle, I can handle this myself, don't worry about me."

The man was so angry that he spun around in circles several times.

"If I were truly a ruthless killer, then what's the difference between me and that man?"

One sentence made the man stop in his tracks.

“Shen Yuan, your uncle will always support you.”

The man followed Shen Yuan to the living room door to meet the head of the Chen family.

Shen Yuan returned to his study and began his lessons.

"That person looks like he's in cahoots with you."

Bai Sang's words made Shen Yuan nod, "Yes, Uncle is the only one who is completely biased towards me."

Bai Sang thought for a moment, "Then we can't kill him."

Shen Yuan's laughter, however, was tinged with sadness.

"We don't need to kill him."

"Tonight, he will die, and I..."

Shen Yuan didn't continue speaking, but Bai Sang understood.

He will completely lose the last glimmer of light in his heart and fall into the abyss.

Bai Sang glanced at Mo Yuan, who remained silent, then tapped the book on the table. "Someone's here."

After they were all in their element, the door was pushed open.

The head of the Chen family walked in, looked at Shen Yuan who was writing something on a piece of paper, and then gave Shen Yuan's uncle a cold look.

"I see, he's studying very well, how did I mistreat him?"

Uncle Shen Yuan walked in directly and looked at what Shen Yuan had written on the paper.

It is Sun Tzu's Art of War.

The real Art of War by Sun Tzu.

He glanced at Mo Yuan, his eyes filled with a complex expression.

"Study hard, I'll come see you again tonight."

Shen Yuan nodded.

After they left, Shen Yuan looked at Bai Sang and said, "Go back and tidy up the room, and restore it to its original state."

Bai Sang indicated that she understood.

"Tonight is the last time I'll see my uncle, so I need to dress presentably."

He looked down at his worn-out clothes and smiled wryly.

Bai Sang was somewhat puzzled.

Why was it the last time they met?

Shen Yuan's voice was filled with unconcealed grief, "I just said that he would die tonight..."

Bai Sang took out the beef jerky he hadn't finished and continued eating.

"You saved him, that's enough. What are you doing back here?"

Shen Yuan: ...

Bai Sang: "Look at you, you don't help me with tasks often, and you don't even know this."

"Now that we've come to the realm of the supernatural, the natural course of action is to change some things without breaking the rules."

The light in Shen Yuan's eyes slowly transformed from sadness and despair into ecstatic joy.

"Bai, Bai Sang, I, I, I will definitely help you more in the future."

Mo Yuan looked at their expressions and let out a cold laugh.

"Just do what you're supposed to do."

Bai Sang, however, heard the system notification.
