Liu Ruo Qing bit her lower lip and nodded strongly, "Since I was young, I have always been by Master's side. I am very familiar with his figure, movements and habits, I will not recognize him wrong."
Liu Ruo Qing's so positive answer made Yan Yuan fall into silence once more, and after a few seconds, she said again, "But didn't you say that you people came from a thousand years ago? Why would the Mr. Liu have anything to do with the People from the Divine Artefact Hall? "
This was also why Liu Ruo Qing couldn't figure it out. She couldn't explain why an old man who came from a thousand years ago would be related to the rebel army in the imperial court from a thousand years ago.
"I don't know what's going on either. I've been wanting to find him and ask him about this, but even if I sent a group of people out, they wouldn't be able to find me."
Liu Ruo Qing answered truthfully.
"With the Mr. Liu's abilities and abilities, how could he let the people you sent out find them so easily? I'm afraid he won't even be able to find a single clue."
Liu Ruo Qing was very clear on this point.
Many of the old man's abilities were unknown even to her. For instance, he could use the Heaven, Earth, and Heaven elements to create such a difficult array formation. Even with this ability, there weren't many people who could match up.
If he wanted to avoid anyone, it would be hard for him to find him even if he had to dig three feet underground.
Liu Ruo Qing did not say anything, and neither did Yan Yuan. When they were alone, it was rare for them to be this silent.
After waiting for a while, Yan Yuan opened his mouth and said: "Qing Er."
His voice sounded solemn and serious, causing Liu Ruo Qing's entire heart to rise. "Eh?"
Yan Yuan's gaze fell on her with an incomparably stern gaze. He stared intently at Liu Ruo Qing and said: "Listen, other than me, don't tell anyone else about this matter?"
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, she looked at Yan Yuan in shock, and did not understand what she meant.
Yan Yuan tightly gripped his hand, "Remember, if you want to let this Mr. Liu live, you have to safeguard this secret, understand?"
It wasn't that he had to save Yan Yuan, but to him, there was nothing more important than protecting Liu Ruo Qing. What he truly wanted to protect was Liu Ruo Qing.
However, in order to protect Liu Ruo Qing, it was necessary to protect Liu Qian Xun. If Liu Qian Xun was captured alive by the imperial government, Qing Er would definitely be implicated.
To Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing was a unique and irreplaceable person. Even if she said that she came from something that would happen a thousand years later, she would believe her without reservation if she did.
However, he believed that this didn't mean that everyone would choose to believe such a whimsical thing.
Although her identity was unknown, she had appeared by the prince's side and even had a master who was a traitor to the imperial court. Even if she had a hundred mouths, she still wouldn't be able to help him escape punishment.
So, the best way was to guarantee that Liu Qian Xun wouldn't get caught, and that his identity wouldn't be known to anyone for the rest of his life. If necessary, he would definitely consider killing him himself.
He only kept this thought a secret from Liu Ruo Qing. He only knew that if Qing Er really wanted to protect Liu Qian Xun, she would definitely listen to him obediently and safeguard this secret. Furthermore, he would have to find Liu Qian Xun before anyone else knew this secret.
Sure enough, when Liu Ruo Qing heard this, she immediately nodded her head solemnly. As long as Yan Yuan could save his master's life, she would be willing to do anything.
Looking at Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing's face was moved. The tip of her nose soured as she said in a low voice: "Thank you, Yan Yuan."
"Thank me for what?"
Helplessly, he reached out and rubbed her head in a punitive manner, causing her hair to fall into disarray.
Liu Ruo Qing did not mind, she only leaned into his embrace with a face full of emotions, and said with a low voice: "I thought you would be angry, and scold me."
An unhappy snort came from the top of her head, "Who said I wasn't angry and didn't want to curse you?"
Liu Ruo Qing looked up at him in shock. Seeing that his eyes were cold and filled with a faint trace of displeasure, she bit her lower lip and with an apologetic attitude, she lowered her head, "Then … Then why don't you scold me? "
She had long since mentally prepared herself. In reality, she was just being scolded. She had already mentally prepared herself for the beating.
Originally, he was waiting for Yan Yuan to scold her, but instead, he let out a long and helpless sigh. He only extended his hand and unhappily rubbed her head again, saying: "Didn't I tell you this a long time ago, if you have anything you want to tell me, I'll help you settle it?"
"…"
Faced with Yan Yuan's question, Liu Ruo Qing did not refute him and only lowered his head in apology.
Yan Yuan slightly bent down to look at her face that was hanging down, and said with a much softer voice, "These past few days, your heart has been very uncomfortable, right?"
It would be strange if they were able to keep such a big secret hidden.
Recalling the contradictions and pain that Liu Ruo Qing had endured in the past few days, Yan Yuan, who originally wanted to toughen down, began to soften again.
When his voice softened, Liu Ruo Qing's eyes couldn't help but turn red, like a child who had been wronged. She looked at him with tears in her eyes, nodded, and spoke with a heavy voice through her nose: "Un, it's very uncomfortable."
"Alright, be good. Remember to tell me next time. If anything happens, don't let anyone hide it from you. Do you understand?"
"Mm, got it."
Seeing him looking at her helplessly, she reached out her hands and pulled on Yan Yuan's sleeves as if she was trying to curry favor with him. She said in a low voice: "Then are you still angry at me?"
Since she was already like this, how could he still suppress the anger on his face? He only cast a glance at her unhappily, forcefully scraping the tip of her nose and pulling her into his embrace. "You're all a mother, yet you act like a child."
Liu Ruo Qing buried her face in Yan Yuan's chest, as a low and deep voice slowly came from his arms, "You're still not used to that yet."
"…"
Fine, he was the one who got used to her, but who else could he get used to seeing his own wife?
Thinking about that big trouble with Liu Qian Xun, he naturally thought of his other disciple, Mo Rong Tian.
Mo Rong Tian...
Wait!
A shocking thought flashed through Yan Yuan's mind.
His surname was Mo, and he was from the Mo Clan, Shen Ji Hall, and the previous dynasty.
Following that, Yan Yuan thought of Yun Jiao Rong. With Yun Jiao Rong's identity, and with Yun Jiao Rong suddenly coming to the Dragon Gate Academy, Yun Jiao Rong and Mo Rong Tian had always been siblings.
Yan Yuan's eyes narrowed.
One of the reasons was because of Yun Jiao Rong. Now, he was certain that Mo Rong Tian was among the assassins, which proved his suspicions to be correct.
Furthermore, Qing Er's attitude towards Yun Jiao Rong had been slightly abnormal since the moment the assassin had appeared in the Heavenly Path Palace. Could it be that Qing Er had long guessed Yun Jiao Rong's identity?
Thinking like this, he opened his mouth and asked: "Yun Jiao Rong is Mo Rong Tian's little sister?"
