Canglan ignored the eager gaze behind her. She smiled, "Wu Ci, you belittle me too much."
"What are you talking about? You're deliberately mystifying people. Somebody arrest this woman!" Wu Ci believed that she was mocking him and ordered his troops. The rebellious guards, though frightened, went at Canglan with their swords, but before they could reach her, the guards in front were all beheaded. The rest of them stopped and stood where they were, fear stricken, and looking at her in horror.
Two men appeared from nowhere and stood in front of Canglan, guarding her. They were her patron saints.
Yun Yajun looked thoughtfully at the two ruthless men who suddenly appeared.
"Canglan, you're..."
Canglan gave Yun Yajun a gentle smile, she lifted a hand, removing the mask from her face, and told him, "Father, it's me!"
An extremely beautiful face was revealed, and everyone present held their breath. She had dewy white skin, rosy lips, charming eyes and perfectly matching, graceful eyebrows. She was the living embodiment of a fairy, a genuine fairy from the heavens.
Huo Liuyun stood behind Canglan, so he could not see her face, but he saw something in the eyes of one of the others. He immediately went to her face, and his eyes widened.
"Feng Yun'er? !" 'Where's Canglan?' Huo Liuyun wondered.
"Feng Yun'er is Yun Canglan, and Yun Canglan is Feng Yun'er!"
"Thirty-Six Fighters in Darkness, pay respect to your Mistress!"
The deafening shout suddenly brought everyone back to what was happening now. Yun Yajun looked incompr
ced. From then on they became the Thirty-Six Fighters in Darkness. During the assassination attempt a few days ago, they secretly protected everyone in the General's House. And I..."
Canglan tossed Huo Liuyun a quick glance before she continued, "I thought as long as I restored my womanhood, the royalty would no longer fear the General's House, so I staked my happiness on it. But, I was wrong. The Emperor and the Crown Prince never intended to spare the General's House. They even joined forces with the Grand Preceptor, determined to eradicate the General's House. The assassination outside the Palace gate three years ago was actually planned, I was not dead. I took a pill that made me look dead. This plan achieved two things in one stroke. It not only dispelled any fear the royalty harbored toward the General's House for the time being, but the Crown Prince felt so guilty that the General's House was temporarily safe. I was a fledgling and had to covertly strengthen myself. Now, I'm back, and I will collect your debt, Huo Liuyun!"
