Then, Yu Ling saw Fang Yuan turn his head, looking at her with a half-smile, and say:
"Oh? Brother Mo, what's the story with this Young Master Yan?"
Ah! You surnamed Sun, you've really ruined me!!!
"Ahem, let me explain... this really is just a misunderstanding..."
Yu Ling stammered as she spoke, realizing she couldn't continue her fabrication in front of Fang Yuan; if she kept going, her identity as the sect leader would be exposed.
Lord Sun also realized at this moment that Fang Yuan seemed unaware of Yu Ling's "true identity," and out of consideration for their shared membership in the Blood Shadow Pavilion, he offered to explain on Yu Ling's behalf:
"Oh dear, you've misheard! It's not Young Master Yan, it's Young Master Mo, this is Young Master Mo Feiyan!"
Fang Yuan's ears were very sharp; how could he have misheard? When he heard Lord Sun also starting to cover up the lie, he became even more disbelieving.
"Whether it's Young Master Yan or Young Master Mo, he has to come with me." Fang Yuan said calmly.
The Six Doors were directly under the Emperor's command, so even if Fang Yuan's rank wasn't much higher than his own, Lord Sun couldn't easily stop him. Thinking that Yu Ling had already swallowed the poison and should be tight-lipped, and that he didn't know anything about the Blood Shadow Pavilion's internal affairs, so it wouldn't cause any major trouble, he let it go.
Fang Yuan took Yu Ling on their journey back to the capital. To Yu Ling's astonishment, Lord Sun thoughtfully delivered Yan Fei's identity token.
Now, it's even harder to explain.
[Host, if all else fails, we can spend a fortune to buy a top-tier cultivation technique! We can then defeat the protagonist!]
On the way, the system thoughtfully offered suggestions, and Yu Ling, who was silently embarking on the road back to Beijing with Fang Yuan, gave her answer in her heart.
"System, are you sure this cultivation technique will be useful in the next mission? Or are you sure you can recoup your investment in this world after buying it?"
Yu Ling refused to waste money in such a place. He had worked hard to save up his survival points, so he should either buy the most practical or the best things. Why waste them in this inferior world?
【Emmm, oh! Well, there's nothing else I can do to help you, host. I can only cheer you on~】
What a bunch of useless teammates!
Helpless, Yu Ling ran back and forth more than twenty times without success. She was also pranked by Fang Yuan more than thirty times. She begged for mercy more than forty times but was not let go by Fang Yuan. She was taken back to the Yan Mansion.
At this moment, Yan Yukou was still diligently engaging in his daily parent-child entertainment in the study when he heard that a guest had arrived. He had no choice but to stop his work and get up to greet the guest.
Yan Fei was beaten again and felt discouraged. Thinking that this time he might be able to find a chance to sneak out of the house, he secretly followed his father's footsteps.
Yan Yukou clearly did not recognize Fang Yuan, but he was very polite to anyone with an official position. He not only gestured for his subordinates to offer him a seat, but also thoughtfully brought out a pot of hot tea.
"You are too kind, Imperial Censor Yan. I am here to deliver your son to you."
Sending it to my son?
Yan Yu was utterly perplexed.
Fang Yuan grabbed Yu Ling and pulled her forward. Seeing that Yu Ling didn't even lift her head, he reminded her:
"...Yan Fei, say something!"
What? Yan Fei? Why call him?
Hearing this, Yan Fei himself, who had been eavesdropping, couldn't sit still any longer. He emerged from behind the screen and interrupted their conversation:
You're saying... he's Yan Fei?
Yan Fei pointed at Yu Ling, then pointed at himself with an incredulous expression, and asked Yan Yu Kou, who was in the main seat.
"Then who am I?"
Seeing this, Yu Ling was dumbfounded, thinking to herself, "Could it be that you are Yan Fei? Then who was that kind little brother who was looting the corpse?"
Everyone was puzzled, shocked, and confused, and all looked at Imperial Censor Yan, waiting for the mystery to be solved.
Yan Yukou: Don't look at him, he doesn't understand what's going on either!
Fang Yuan felt like he had stumbled upon a shocking piece of gossip.
Yu Ling finally couldn't hold back any longer and took out Yan Fei's identity token, which she then handed over to Yan Yu Kou.
Then, he whispered a question in Imperial Censor Yan's ear:
“I know that Lord Yan must have his reasons for making this up, but a son can only be one… Could you please help explain this to Officer Fang?”
Go quickly and explain to Fang Yuan that his son isn't lost, that I'm not his son, and that I'm not Yan Fei. Tell him to stay away from me! Hurry!!!
Yan Yukou looked at the token, then at Yu Ling, and after glancing back and forth several times, he immediately understood!
Look at this child, so handsome, he's got the looks of me back in the day. So what if he wants to impersonate my son? No problem. Yan, the good-natured Yu Kou, clearly stated that he'd help him out!
"Ahem, my son, you've gone to so much trouble for me. Thank you, Officer Fang, for finding my son!"
Yan Yukou spoke these words so fluently, it sounded almost like the truth.
Yu Ling: "Yes, yes, I'm not... um?"
Did he mishear?
Sir, are you having trouble seeing clearly? Shouldn't you get your vision checked? Can't you even recognize your own son?!
Yan Yukou's bearded face wore a smile that was both friendly and menacing as he pulled Yu Ling toward Fang Yuan and said:
"I'll take this son. If you have nothing else to do, Officer Fang, you can go back now."
Fang Yuan looked completely bewildered.
Lord Yan, wouldn't you like to see what you're saying?
No wonder this Imperial Censor Yan is not given important positions; he really can't speak official jargon at all.
Goodbye!
Fang Yuan had already bullied his underlings enough on the road, and having failed to discover Yu Ling's true identity, he readily got up and left. Although the process was tortuous, Yu Ling was finally free.
call--
Yu Ling bowed to Yan Yu Kou in thanks and then tactfully inquired whether she could stay overnight at the Yan residence.
The road back to the Sun residence was too far, and he didn't want any more accidents to happen. Of course, he was also afraid that Chi Yue might come looking for him but not find him.
"No problem, it's rare to find someone who wants to be my son. They have much better taste than my good-for-nothing son!"
Yan Yukou readily agreed. Although he was simple-minded, he had always been lucky. His intuition told him that Yu Ling was an extraordinary person who could be a good role model for his son.
Seeing his father chatting happily with a stranger, Yan Fei felt completely horrified: "Dad! I'm your son!"
Yu Ling was forced to get involved in the mess at the Yan residence, while Chi Yue, who had changed clothes and returned, also learned that Yu Ling had been taken away by Fang Yuan.
But just as he was about to travel alone to the capital to visit and try to bring the person back,
A secret order from somewhere, one that could not be refused, quietly arrived.
After reading the secret order, Chi Yue coldly took out a tinderbox and lit it. The four characters on it twisted in the flames and gradually turned to ashes.
—The operation begins.
"The capital city... is about to change."
Chi Yue muttered to herself.
After that, he had no choice but to give up his plan to find Yu Ling, and instead gathered all his subordinates from the Blood Shadow Pavilion and began to assign them secret missions one by one.
At this moment, Lord Sun also followed Chi Yue, dressed in a low-key black outfit befitting his status as the vice leader of the Blood Shadow Pavilion, with a bamboo hat covering his face.
He asked in a somewhat uncertain tone:
"Master, we've already made contact with Lord Zhao, Lord Wang, and Lord Zhou... Are we really going to rebel?"
