Clearly, he had succeeded, but Xia Sizhu had not discovered his weak aura.

"What happened to you, Xi Ling Yan? Why do you look so weird? " Xia Sizhu put the bowl down and turned around to see Xi Ling Yan.

Xi Ling Yan's face did not have a single trace of a smile. It was different from the laughing Xi Ling Yan that she knew.

"It's nothing, I'm just about to become the crown prince. I'm not in a good mood."

Xi Ling Yan looked at Xia Sizhu and said faintly.

"To inherit the throne, others even want what they can think of, but you don't like it at all."

Xia Si Zhu glanced at the grieving Xi Ling Yan and laughed out loud.

"Little beauty, this prince has something to discuss with Beitang. I'll tell you about the old days later."

The corner of Xi Ling Yan's mouth rose into a wry smile. The throne was not what he wanted.

What he wanted was freedom.

"Let's go look for Brother Beitang!" Xia Si Zhu caught the bitter smile in Xi Ling Yan's eyes.

She was just a small guest, and she had no way to stand up for him in these matters. If it were in the southern mausoleum, she could do whatever she wanted.

On the other side, Gu Zhong was supervising everyone's training progress according to the training method given by Xia Sizhu.

Before leaving, Xia Sizhu had given her surplus silver taels to Gu Xin, who then used them to strengthen her faction.

Master thought so highly of them. He couldn't let Master down, and he wouldn't let his parents down either. He would definitely make his name known again.

"Brother Zhong Xin, an urgent letter!" A person rushed over from the distance.

"He's having fun outside. After so many days without any news, he immediately received an urgent message. He only thought of me as a brother when he was in trouble."

Gu Zhong complained as he took the letter. When he opened the letter and saw the contents, Gu Zhong's usually calm face suddenly turned cold. It was so cold that the messenger beside him shivered.

What exactly did Brother Xin write in his letter? How did Brother Zhong's expression become so terrifying? Did Brother Xin stir up some trouble outside?

This was the first time he saw Brother Zhong's face turn so terrified.

It was as if he had seen something terrifying.

"Notify everyone to be prepared to leave the valley at any time, and the same goes for those who are training outside."

Gu Zhong coldly said as he crumpled the paper into a ball and held it in his hand.

"What happened to Brother Zhong?" The messenger's expression also became nervous.

"The traitor has appeared. We need to prepare to clean up the mess." Gu Zhong said with a cold expression as he tightly held the paper in his hand.

"Where are they?" The messenger's eyes were red, and his words were bone-chilling.

"In the West Tomb, they used our poison to injure the master's husband and was discovered by Gu Xin. I am now going out to cure the master's poison."

Gu Zhong paused for a while before continuing.

"Find out more about the situation. If they are truly betraying us, then we will need you to leave the Gu Clan."

Gu Zhong's eyes were very cold. When he was very young, he had witnessed everything that happened.

That day, the entire valley was filled with a river of blood. He had personally witnessed the traitors kill all those who obstructed him before escaping with those who harbored ill intentions.

That day, his parents said that their master was in danger and had left the valley to save him. That was how he found the chance to escape.

From then on, he swore that he would capture him and bring him back as a memorial service for all those who had died. At that time, he was very young, but he could clearly remember all of this in his mind.

"Yes, I'll go inform them right away." The messenger said solemnly.

"I'll be leaving first." Gu Zhong threw the letter away and went to pack his things, preparing to go to Xiling to cure Dongfang Ye's poison.

"Brother Zhong, the traitor has appeared. Should we inform the Valley Master and Madam?" The messenger looked at Gu Zhong and said.

"Inform them and tell them to go to the Western Tomb to find a woman called Xia Sizhu. Also, enclose the portrait. They should be here in the Western Tomb and arrive faster than me."

He hadn't seen his parents for a long time, and he didn't know what the two of them were doing outside. He hadn't returned to the valley for a long time, to the point that he couldn't remember how long it had been.

This time, the new owner was still the daughter of the old owner. They would definitely appear, and it just so happened that he was also going to meet them.

"Yes." The messenger then went to prepare the letter.

"A letter came from Hubby Valley saying that Yu's child is currently in the Western Tomb and has successfully become the valley's next master."

In a wooden house in the West Tomb, a beautiful woman walked out. The passage of time did not deprive her of any of her beauty, and instead, it added another kind of beauty to her beauty.

"Jade's child is called Xia Sizhu, right?" A man was sitting outside the wooden house. When he heard the girl's voice, his eyes flew open, and they seemed to be so deep that they couldn't even see the bottom of the river.

"Un, my dear husband, look at how similar this portrait looks to jade." The woman passed the portrait in her hand over.

"It does look like it." The man looked at the portrait, a smile on his face.

"This child has already grown up to this age. He was only so old back then." The man seemed to have recalled something, and his expression was somewhat sad.

"Yu was severely injured. If she didn't insist on having this child, she would have been able to live. However, she insisted on having this child. She had used up all of her life to have this child."

The man's tone was very slow, but it carried a deep sadness.

"Yeah, Jade didn't hesitate to die for herself and that person's child. She said that she hated that person, but her heart still loves him."

The woman's expression was also very sad. Although she couldn't bear for Yu Yu to do this, if she was in his place, she would definitely give up her life, leaving behind her and her husband's child.

However, she would not speak of this matter. Otherwise, her husband would be worried.

"Let's go. At that time, Yu told us to wait for our child to get married before we could appear in front of her. Now that she's married to Night King, we can go and find her."

The man picked up the sword at his side and continued, "In the future, I plan to stay by this girl's side and protect her well. I can't let that scene happen again because of our negligence. How about you, my wife?"

"Hubby, you know I won't object, so why ask? It was due to our negligence that a traitor appeared in the valley.

When we went back to clean up the place, some people were lucky enough to kill Jade. By the time we locked the traitor up and went to find Jade, Jade was already in trouble.

If we knew earlier, we wouldn't have returned to the valley, and let the people from the valley go with them.

The woman's voice was filled with regret. She really regretted hurting Jade for the sake of some unnecessary people.

"Don't blame yourself. Before Yu died, the only person she was concerned about was her daughter. We'll help her fulfill her unfulfilled wish. If she finds out, she'll be happy."

The man went forward and hugged the woman to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I still need to keep my life to avenge Jade. After so many years have passed, the people who harmed the Jade have had enough. It's time to collect the debt."

The woman blinked, forcing the tears back.

"Let's go, I can't wait to see Yu's daughter. Yu's daughter will definitely be as outstanding as Yu."

The woman had already restrained her emotions as she spoke in a faint voice.

"Alright, let's hurry over. We'll be there soon." With that, the man disappeared from the cabin.
