The prince disliked her, and the legitimate daughter was reborn and married to the regent

"Yun Shuo?"

"elder brother?"

Different names popped up at the same time, Yun Nian bit her lips, as if she just realized that she had called out a familiar name again.

After seeing her brother in tears, she seemed unable to treat him with such indifference anymore. Did those inexplicable fears and resentments really exist in her mind?

"it's me."

Yun Shuo took off his mask, revealing a charming face. He didn't seem surprised at all to see his sister and her friends here.

But when his eyes fell on Yun Nian's eyebrows, he couldn't help but raise them.

"You guys are dressed very uniquely. Are you going to sing a play?"

He chuckled and teased, but soon he became serious, glanced at the cage above, squatted down and stretched out his hand.

"I'll pull you out, let's leave here first."

The fingers stretched towards Yun Nian with all their strength, the joints turning white from the force.

"No thanks, brother."

Yun Shuo didn't know martial arts, and Yun Nian was afraid that she would drag him into the trap as well. She reached out to Huo Daiyu, and her slender knuckles clasped with the other person's.

Naturally, he did not notice the darkening expression on the man's face.

"I brought people here. This place is dangerous. You should go back to the other courtyard as soon as possible. There are guards there, so it's safer."

He smiled gently, as if he had put away all his paranoid possessiveness after crying and retreated into a safe boundary.

He was exactly the same as the brother who had always loved Yun Nian in her memory.

The dozen women were all carried up. Huo Daiyu clapped his hands, not feeling tired at all.

"They are too light, not even as light as the dummies I carried when I followed my mother on the march."

Except for Lan Yu, the other women were somewhat dazed. The faint light under the dark clouds outside the pit seemed to make them feel a little scared.

"Brother, who are you talking about?"

Yun Nian hadn't finished speaking yet, and when she walked out, she saw an unexpected person.

Fuqiu's long hair was braided and hung down in front of her chest. Her emerald green eyes were full of seductive charm as she blinked at Yun Nian.

"you……"

"Nice to see you again, my adorable... Sisi? How about I learn to call you that too? It always feels strange to just call you by your name."

Shen Ningsi's gaze paused on Fuqiu's eyes, revealing a tacit understanding, without asking any more questions.

But Yun Shuo frowned.

"Do you know?"

When did Sisi meet Ke Luo’s people?

"We just met once, isn't that right, Sisi?"

She spoke first, and Yun Nian nodded. According to her memory, she had only met Fuqiu once at the hot spring.

"Okay, Master Yun, now that we've found your sister, can you please step aside and let me deal with something that shouldn't have been born in the first place?"

Fuqiu's lips were tightly pursed, and her expression suddenly became serious. She shook her hand, and the golden bells on her hand collided with each other, making a clear and pleasant sound.

"Sisi, go back first, I will take care of this."

Yun Shuo whispered into Yun Nian's ear,

The subtle aura made Yun Nian want to retreat uncontrollably, but she held back. She forced herself to stand still and raised her head slightly.

"Brother, how are you going to deal with this? You don't have any martial arts skills, how are you going to deal with that monster?"

She glanced at Fuqiu secretly. As if she had noticed her gaze, she grabbed her braid and shook it at her.

It should have been noon, but the thick, dark clouds covered everything, pressing down heavily, as if a storm was about to fall at any moment.

"No, brother, what are you hiding from me?"

Her tone became even softer, almost like she was acting coquettishly.

Yun Shuo did not speak. He remained silent. Fuqiu was getting impatient and turned around to come over. Her long braid flew out from behind her and hit the wall with a "bang".

"What's the point of hiding it now? You might as well tell her directly. Your sister is not a child who knows nothing anymore."

The sudden wind blew up from the ground, carrying the dirt and leaves up to the sky. Yun Nian just looked at her brother, trying to see something in his deep eyes.

"elder brother?"

She spoke with a questioning and uneasy tone. Yun Shuo shook his head helplessly. Under his thick eyelashes, his eyes were full of compromise.

"Why are you so curious? I originally wanted to wait until we were in a safe place before telling you."

It turned out that Yun Shuo had discovered a long time ago that a woman in Luochuan City had mysteriously disappeared. This was not originally within his scope of responsibility, but he happened to run into it.

"That day, when I was returning home from work, I saw a strange woman pestering a young girl. I thought she was begging for alms, so I ignored her. But when I passed by the next day, I heard the news that the girl had disappeared."

For several days in a row, girls have been missing, but the news has been suppressed. His classmates are almost racking their brains and can only turn to him for help.

"I couldn't refuse him, so I agreed. After a lot of effort, I finally found this Jingshui Temple. But since I'm a man, it's not convenient for me to enter a nunnery. I happened to meet Miss Fuqiu."

"You are welcome."

Fuqiu raised her eyebrows.

"I just happened to find out the same thing as you."

Yun Shuo just smiled slightly, then looked at his sister.

"Have you ever seen a bird with words written on it?"

"Yes...but how do you know? Could it be that the letter is for you?"

Yun Nian suddenly realized something. She remembered the clingy bird with a small note on it. She still kept it in her dressing box.

She originally thought that the letter was to be delivered to the cave, but she did not expect that the letter was to be delivered to Yun Shuo.

"Yes, those are the letters I exchanged with Master Shan Miao. She wanted to tell me that she was ready to sacrifice more people to that... monster."

"Luckily you got it, otherwise, there would be a big misunderstanding."

He shook his head with a bitter smile, and his soft eyes fell into Yun Nian's eyes, making people tremble unconsciously.

"Okay, now you know enough, right? Let your friends take you back first. I will send these women to where they should go. Don't hold us back."

Although she still had some doubts, Yun Nian knew that her skills were limited. It was hard enough for Dai Yu to protect her and Shen Ningsi. If they encountered any danger again, he would be too busy to do anything.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, along with a sharp scream.
