Knock! Knock!


    "Father, may wee in?"


    Gao Long called out after knocking on the door in front of him.


    Gao Xuan was also standing beside him, while Ye Tian Yun was in hiding, eavesdropping on the whole situation.


    "Hmm."


    A light response came from the room.


    The Gao brothers took a deep breath and entered the room.


    Ye Tian Yun couldn''t see what was happening inside, but he was able to overhear everything.


    "What happened?" A middle-aged man''s voice came out..


    Ye Tian Yun recognized the voice as n Head Gao Kang''s.


    "Father, I have something important to tell you."


    "It better be important. I am quite busy tonight."


    "It will be worth your time," Gao Xuan replied, "Father, I have received some important information about the Second Brother''s incident."


    Outside, Ye Tian Yun frowned upon hearing this.


    He didn''t know the truth behind Gao Kang''s incident because thetter was never a major character in his previous life.


    ''Wasn''t it the Fang n?''


    It was an open secret among everyone outside that the Fang n had ambushed the Second Young Master of Gao n, Gao Long.


    ''But if this was true then there was no way Gao n would have agreed to marry Gao Suyin with Fang Chen…''


    Ye Tian Yun waited for n Head Gao Kang''s response.


    The room had turned quiet because the other two were taken aback by Gao Xuan''s words.


    After a few moments of silence, Gao Long''s words were heard, "What did you find out? Last time we confirmed that it was not the Fang n. Did you find the real conspirator?"


    "Yes," Gao Xuan pursed his lips, "It is our Third Suspect."


    "Third Suspect... '''' Gao Long and n Head Gao squint their eyes, "The King."


    "Yes," Gao Xuan exhaled, "I have gathered some solid proofs. I have also tracked down the person who crippled Second Brother."


    "Oh?" n Head Gao stood up from his seat, "Where is he?"


    Gao Xuan replied with a sneer, "I am interrogating him right now."


    "Hmm," n Head Gao frowned, "What else has he revealed?"


    Gao Xuan pursed his lips and replied, "Regarding the Second Brother''s incident, I have only found out it was King Xin''s work, and he was also the one who released rumors about Fang n being the one behind all this."


    "Oh," n Head Gao Kang frowned, "Anything else?"


    Gao Xuan nodded, "Yes, but not rted to Second Brother."


    "What?"


    "It''s about the Fang n. A few months back, a few disciples from the Gracious Sword Sect headed towards the Silver Mist City, and the guy we caught, Mo Da, ambushed them on the way using the Thousand-something array."


    "Four Hands Thousand Kills Array."


    "Exactly!" Gao Xuan nodded, "This array is Fang n''s signature array, and they used it to ambush those disciples. The goal was to kill those disciples and leave clues pointing towards the Fang n."


    "Hm," n Head Gao frowned, "I remember there was a big argument regarding a mission, and the Crown Prince was nning something."


    Gao Xuan nodded, "Crown Prince and Sect Leader Su formed an alliance for this mission. This mission is one of the core reasons why the war began at a premature stage."


    n Head Gao nodded, "Yes, it was something rted to the Third Princess of Wu Kingdom, I know a few things about that. But that''s not important right now. Don''t kill that Mo Da guy. I want to present him to Fang Yuan, only then the hesitation in his heart will disappear and he will understand who his enemy is."


    Gao Xuan nodded, "King Xin pushed the Fang n to the top to break our n, and now he''s trying to destroy the Fang n so the final winner is himself. However, Father, you will have to call Prime Minister Fang here. We can''t bring Mo Da to him."


    "Hm?" n Head Gao frowned, "Does anyone else know about Mo Da?"


    "No," Gao Xuan rubbed his face, "Actually, the condition of Mo Da is… how should I put it… it''s quite weird."


    "Did you torture him too much?" Gao Long smiled.


    "No, that''s not it," Gao Xuan denied, "It''s the condition in which I met him. His limbs were interchanged."


    "Interchanged?"


    "Yes. Mo Da''s hands were reced by his legs, and his hands reced his legs."


    "..."


    "..."


    The room turned quiet.


    Outside, Ye Tian Yun bit his tongue.


    He vividly remembered his encounter with Mo Da on his way to Silver Mister City.


    ''That guy managed to stay alive?''


    This was the most surprising note for Ye Tian Yun.


    ''Next time, I won''t joke around and simply kill the enemy.''


    …


    Inside the room, it took some time for the duo to recover from their speechlessness in front of Gao Xuan.


    "How did he… survive?"


    n Head Gao asked.


    Gao Xuan shrugged, "I have no idea, but luckily we were able to capture him because I was trailing behind the Gracious Sword Sect''s entourage. This guy is the reason why I couldn''t witness the SIlver Mist City incident."


    "Oh," n Head Gao let out a sigh, "It''s alright, don''t worry about that. Rather, focus on King Xin."


    Gao Xuan nodded, "Father, I am doing everything I can, but the Xin Royal n is too tight-lipped. It''s hard to find any answers."


    Gao Long frowned, "It''s no surprise."


    n Head Gao moved towards the window and staring at the darkness in front of him; he said, "The only way to defeat the Xin Royal n is to ally with the Fang n. This was the reason behind the marriage alliance. But now, things will be a bitplicated."


    Gao Long nodded, "Yes, but in my opinion, we did the right thing. Fang Chen doesn''t deserve our Third Sister."


    n Head Gao let out a sigh, "But there was no other way."


    Gao Xuan frowned, "Father, Fang Chen is not what he used to be. He''s… someone else."


    Outside, Ye Tian Yun opened his eyes wide in shock as his thumb reached the spatial ring on his index finger upon clenching his fists.
