    Su Binn asked, “Father, do you think others won’t recognize you when you wear the mask? Do you feel you can do anything with it on?”


    Su Fengmao considered how he felt when he wore the mask just now. A whileter, he said, “1 do feel that way.”


    Su Binn raised a brow, asking again, “Do you remember what the mask you wore looked like?”


    Su Fengmao nodded. “Yes, 1 have some impression of it.”


    “Tell me, and I’ll draw it for you.”


    Su Fengmao was obedient and did everything his daughter said. He described the mask to her, and she drew it ording to his description. When she finished, she asked him, “Did it look like this?”


    “Yes, that’s it.” Su Fengmao felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at the drawing.


    Then, Su Binn passed her drawing to Luo Jin’an and said, “Can you look into this?”


    “I’ll get someone to investigate.” Luo Jin’an had his informationwork and could find the mask’s origins.


    Su Binn believed in her husband’s ability, saying, “Father, Mother, don’t worry or overthink it, okay? I’m delighted to have a father who’s formidable in martial arts. Our family will be even safer with you around, Father.”


    She purposely said that so her parents would rx. As expected, the older couple’s mood improved.


    Later that night, Su Wenzhe and the others returned home and went to their rooms to sleep. When Su Binn and Luo Jin’an returned to their room, Su Binn asked, “Do you know something you didn’t reveal just now?”


    Luo Jin’an sighed, “l can’t hide anything from you. If my memory serves me, the symbol should represent the ck Shadow Pavilion.”


    Su Binn thought the name sounded familiar but could not pinpoint it. She asked, “What does the ck Shadow Pavilion do?” “It’s an assassin organization,” Luo Jin’an said.”


    “What?!” Su Binn became wide-eyed.


    ‘My father couldn’t have be an assassin, right? That can’t be. He can be funny sometimes, which doesn’t match the demeanor of an assassin.’


    Luo Jin’an could guess his wife’s worries. He stroked her hair, saying, “ck Shadow Pavilion wasn’t originally an assassin organization. It only became one in recent years.”


    Su Binn sighed in relief. She asked, “So, what did they do before bing an assassin organization?”


    Luo Jin’an answered, “They were swordsmiths who also traded information. The people of the ck Shadow Pavilion asionally took on missions and had businesses across thend.’


    Su Binn understood that they were simr to arge n. However, they belonged to the fighting world. ck Shadow Pavilion only became an assassin organizationter.


    Still, she did not know what it had to do with her father. Not long ago, she had led the Shadown Guards to annihte an assassin organization because they tried assassinating Lan Ruozhu.


    However, the fighting world was vast. Although Su Binn had destroyed one assassin organization, others still existed. She asked, “Have you been to the ck Shadow Pavilion?”


    Luo Jin’an shook her head and exined, “No, but we captured a protector of the pavilion and gathered information from him.”


    Su Binn’s gaze sharpened as she asked, “Were they trying to assassinate you?”


    “No, that was three years ago,” Luo Jin’an said softly, “They wanted to kill my big brother, but we caught and interrogated them. However, a war broke out before we could retaliate against the ck Shadow Pavilion. My big brother died on the battlefield then.’


    Lan Ruobing should have died during that time.


    Su Binn hesitated before asking, “Why did the pavilion want to kill your big brother?”


    “Someone had a grudge against my big brother. That person paid the pavilion, and they simply epted the mission,” Luo Jin’an’s heart sank when he recalled the past.


    Su Binn held his hand. Although she knew little about his past, she would feel sorry for him whenever he spoke about it. She asked, “Who hired the pavilion? I’ll avenge your brother.”


    When she lived as Lan Ruobing, there were some things she never had time to do. After all, Lan Ruobing had died from poor health before the war three years ago.


    However, Su Binn’s health was excellent, so she could help Luo Jin’an with many things.


    Luo Jin’an noticed his wife’s severe expression. He held her hand and said,


    “You don’t have to worry about that, Bing. I’ll handle it, okay?”


    He did not want his wife to put herself in danger. He wanted to protect Su Binn as Lan Ruozhu would. Even Luo Jin’an dared not imagine the havoc he would wreak if anything happened to his wife.


    Su Binn feigned dissatisfaction and turned away from Luo Jin’an, saying,


    “You don’t believe I can help, huh?”


    “No, that’s not it.” Luo Jin’an became anxious. He could only embrace her and coax her gently.


    Su Binn said, “Then tell me who hired the ck Shadow Pavilion.”


    “It was Princess Liuwu,” Luo Jin’an sighed.


    Su Binn became wide-eyed, saying, “It was Chu Liuwu?”


    Chu Liuwu was the crown prince’s younger sister and the princess the emperor doted on most. Chu Liuwi was spoiled, rude, and had a terrible reputation.


    She had fancied Wei Qingchen, the eldest son of General Wei. Hence, Chu Liuwu asked the emperor to bestow her with a marriage. However, Wei Qingchen already had a fiancee.


    Chu Liuwu wanted him to leave his engagement and ept her marriage proposal. The Wei family was loyal in everything, including rtionships. They also never clung to people of power.


    Nheless, Wei Qingchen defied the imperial edict. Soon after, the death of his fiancee urred. Everyone suspected Chu Liuwu, but there was no evidence.


    Su Binn knew about these things. After all, Lan Ruobing was in the courtyard when the Wei family resisted the imperial edict. She only discovered it when she returned to the capital.


    The emperor was paranoid and cautious, the crown prince was vicious, and Princess Liuwu was ruthless. She would do anything to achieve her goal.


    “So, Chu Liuwu did it,” Su Binn said thoughtfully.


    “We couldn’t do anything without evidence,” Luo Jin’an said, “My big brother med himself for his fiancee’s death. He even wanted to kill Princess Liuwu, but our family had been loyal to the emperor since our ancestors’ time.


    “Our ancestors have protected the country for generations. What would happen to our family if we rebelled then? We have an ancestral rule to protect the people and not rebel.”


    Su Binn’s heart grew heavy when she heard that.


    Luo Jin’an added, “The emperor did not believe in us and kept suppressing my family. He even gathered military power secretly. My family got attacked on both sides three years ago..”
