The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"Today is New Year's Eve, why did the Great Elder call us over?"

Xiyu's face suddenly darkened. He finally had the chance to spend such a reunion festival with his master.

But now it’s going to be destroyed?

"Tell the Great Elder that he is gathering with the Second Elder, and I will not join in the fun."

He said coldly, his hands already on his waist.

But the woman did not retreat. Yun Nian saw that she seemed a little helpless and said,

"The Great Elder also said that Miss Yun could also go together. After all, it is a day of reunion, and it would be too lonely for two people."

Xiyu didn't feel lonely. He just wanted to be alone with his master, and it would be best if no one disturbed her.

"I already said I don't want to..."

"Xiyu."

Yun Nian soothed him softly, and the other party's temper was suppressed as soon as he opened his mouth. Like a wolfdog that is ferocious to outsiders, it can only lie on the ground obediently in front of its own master.

"Xiyu, let's go together. Didn't you say that the Great Elder treated you very well?"

That was just seeing his usefulness. Xiyu wanted to refute, but when she saw the gentle eyes of her master, she couldn't say anything.

"Besides, I want to ask them about what happened when you were younger, to see if you're lying to me."

Her eyes were curved, more dazzling than the lights. Xiyu's heart tensed for a moment, then slowly relaxed.

"Yes, Master."

Although he said he would help His Highness get the medicine, Yun Nian did not know where the antidote was stored in Feiyu Tower. If he acted rashly, he would definitely alert the enemy.

She originally thought Xiyu would know, but after asking him about it along the way, she found out helplessly that apart from training, he didn't know as much about Feiyu Tower as she did.

If Xiyu can't be relied upon, she must find a breakthrough on her own, so she must accept the invitation from the Great Elder.

The two followed the gatekeeper and stepped into the tower.

Only after entering did Yun Nian realize that the tower was larger than he had imagined. The surrounding walls were inlaid with large stones.

If someone thinks that this tower is made of wood and can be easily breached, they may be greatly disappointed.

The stone felt very similar to the one in the tunnel. The pattern carved on it was a kind of bird feather. The chain-like ladder shook when you stepped on it, which scared Yun Nian.

Although she did not shout out loud, a hint of ridicule and contempt flashed across the eyes of the female disciple. Her tone was still respectful, but with a hint of barely perceptible disdain.

"Most of the disciples came up from here. I'm afraid there is no other way for you to pass, Miss Yun."

Yun Nian didn't know where her malice came from, he just frowned a little uncomfortably.

"Master, hold me tight."

Xiyu held her waist, twisting and turning her fingertips. The iron chain escalator even shook slightly, and then returned to calm.

Xiyu's Qinggong seemed to have made considerable progress. Yun Nian was secretly horrified.

She looked down, the iron chain hung straight down, and the female disciple began to step on the place where the iron chain was connected. Although she was not as graceful as Xiyu, she also went up safely.

The tower has nine floors, and they are now on the eighth floor. Xiyu let her go and took her to a place with bright lights.

Two middle-aged men dressed in black sat upright on high chairs, looking at the two people approaching.

Xi Lingshuang's eyes lit up, and she was obviously delighted when she looked at Xi Yu, but when she looked at Yun Nian, she frowned slightly.

"I am coming."

Xiyu said coldly, then stood still.

Yun Nian nodded slightly, speaking gently.

"Meet the First Elder, the Second Elder, and Miss Xi."

The one on the right should be the second elder. His eyebrows and eyes are sharper and he looks angry at any time. The opposite of him is the first elder beside him.

The elder seemed to be much older, with gentle features and a kind temperament, just like a harmless old man.

But who could suppress the Second Elder? Yun Nian had long since learned not to judge people by appearance.

"Please take a seat, Miss Yun. This is your first time in Feiyu Tower. Since you are Xiyu's guest, we should treat you with courtesy."

The elder smiled and motioned for the two to sit down. The table was already filled with rare delicacies. Yun Nian also saw cakes covered with candy wrappers.

"Thank you, elder."

She sat down and found that even though she was facing the leader of the assassin organization, she was not nervous or afraid at all.

She ate calmly, even if the Second Elder snorted from time to time, and Xi Lingshuang approached her deliberately, she was able to handle it well.

She used everything she learned from Shen Ningsi on these people.

They were just having a meal together. Apart from the occasional criticism, the meal was more peaceful than Yun Nian had imagined.

After the second elder, who was eating the most frantically, put down his chopsticks, the disciples nearby cleared away their bowls and dishes, and several people stood up.

"Now that we're done eating, I still have a few questions for Miss Yun. Xiyu, you can come along as well."

The Great Elder spoke slowly, raised his hand to stop the Second Elder who seemed a little dissatisfied, and said softly to Xi Ling,

"You just completed the mission and must be tired. Remember to take a rest."

Although his words were gentle and kind, the woman in purple did not dare to object. She just glanced over here with some resentment and retreated.

The place where I was asked was a place that looked like a study room, with a large number of bamboo slips and neatly stacked letters.

Yun Nian could even see the word "urgent" written in vermilion pen on it, and her heart skipped a beat.

This isn't what she should be seeing right now, is it?

She had some doubts, but still followed the elder's gesture and sat down.

"Please don't worry, Miss Yun. I'm just a little curious about you."

It’s good that you have questions. She was just waiting for Xi Yuanen to ask questions. Since he asked questions, she should abide by the etiquette of reciprocity, right?

……

"Where's Sisi? Didn't you say Sisi was in the palace? Why can't I find her anywhere?"

Yun Shuo pressed his forehead and felt a dull pain. He looked at Ning Sinian who also had an ugly expression and realized something.

No wonder Wei Qingjue could become the regent, while Ning Sinian was still the guy who could only act by relying on others.

He is really short-sighted.

"She was kidnapped. The informant said that Xiyu took her away again and took her to Nanyan."

Once again, Sisi was taken away from him. Yun Shuo closed his eyes tightly, and when he opened them again, they were covered with red bloodshot.

"Then let's use a faster method. Go and bring Qiulan and the others over."
