"Later, one time, Lin Yinyin accidentally revealed the secret that she was one of the Thirteen Killers of Fengdu. Wang Jiangli and I were both shocked when we found out. It was only then that we realized that we were both members of the Thirteen Killers of Fengdu."

Guan Ming couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in the world. The three of you actually met at the same time in the vast ocean."

Although he, Shen Xiang and Lin Shirong had known each other before he met Mu Yan, the three families had known each other since their fathers' generation. In comparison, the fate between the three of them was so rare.

Wang Xiao smiled helplessly, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, "Yes, things in the world are so coincidental, so coincidental that my brother and I fell in love with the same person, Wang Niannian's mother."

Wang Xiao's voice seemed to be slightly choked with sobs as he recalled the past, "Later, when the three of us were getting along, Yinyin chose Brother Wang. To be honest, we were jealous, but we were more blessed.

After that, they lived in seclusion in a village, and I, after they got married, began to wander alone again. But we still exchanged letters, until one day two years ago, I suddenly received a letter from Brother Wang, saying that they had received news about the appearance of a new Lord, and asked me to return to Minsu as soon as possible.

But when I arrived, I found that the village where they lived in seclusion was completely engulfed in flames. I ran to the house where they lived in a panic, but discovered that it was too late. The two of them had already died, and their bodies were found tightly hugging each other.

Just then, I suddenly heard a cry, and then I separated the couple, only to find a baby girl in a cradle under them.

And this baby girl was Nian Nian. After that, I took Nian Nian with me to make a living in the martial arts world until we came to the capital. You all know what happened next."

Tang Wen stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. He also knew the difficulties behind his framing of Mu Yan. After all, Wang Niannian was the son of an old friend, and his life experience was pitiful. If he were Wang Xiao, he would also choose to sell out his conscience for Wang Niannian.

So now, like Mu Yan, he has already forgiven Wang Xiao in his heart.

Mu Yan frowned. She had indeed heard that two years ago, a fire broke out in a village on the Fujian-Jiangsu border. The entire village was burned down by the fire, but the government had never found out the cause of the fire, so the fire remains a mystery to this day.

She pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you checked the bodies of Wang Jiangli and Lin Yinyin? Were they suffocated to death by the fire?"

She always felt that the matter was not that simple. Wang Jiangli said in his letter that he had news about the appearance of a new Lord, but she was reborn more than a year ago, and her mother's jade pendant had always been in her hands, so it was impossible for others to get it.

Did he receive the wrong information, or did someone deliberately release false information to lure Thirteen Killers to show up?

What’s even more puzzling is that they had an accident after delivering the letter to Wang Xiao. So is their death related to this fake news?

Wang Xiao lowered his head and thought for a moment, then pursed his lips and said, "The fire was so big at the time that after I confirmed they were dead, I ran out holding Wang Niannian. I didn't have time to bring their bodies out, let alone confirm the cause of their death."

In fact, he had thought that the death of Wang Jiangli and his wife was not just an accident, but the whole village was burned down and there were no clues to find. Even the news about the appearance of a new leader of Fengdu Thirteen Killers was something he had no way of checking.

Mu Yan looked at him comfortingly: "It's okay, I will let Tang Wen continue to investigate this matter, you don't have to think too much. Also, if you want, you can continue to live in Hua Man Lou with Nian Nian in the future. If not, after the storm is over, you can go wherever you want."

She gave Wang Xiao absolute freedom of choice. She would not order or threaten him in her capacity as the Lord of the Thirteen Killings, because the subordinates she wanted must be willing to follow her.

She would not worry that Wang Xiao would reveal her identity, because the Lord had the power of life and death over the Thirteen Killers.

Wang Xiao looked at Mu Yan in disbelief, but the others looked normal, because when each of them joined, Mu Yan gave them the right to choose.

"Godfather, I like my sister. Let's live here. Besides, the house here is really beautiful."

Before Wang Xiao could answer, Wang Niannian rushed out like a small missile and looked at him with hope.

Wang Xiao touched her head and asked lovingly, "Does Nian Nian like it here?"

Wang Niannian nodded like a woodpecker. "I like it. I like it. I like it here very much. The house here is beautiful, and there are beautiful sisters here."

Tang Wen also liked the cute little girl in front of him, and said with a smile: "Pretty sister doesn't live here, but we have some delicious roast duck made by the chef brother, as well as braised spareribs, steamed sea bass, etc. As long as Nian Nian lives here, she can eat them anytime."

Although Wang Niannian seemed a little disappointed when she heard that Mu Yan didn't live here, she immediately smiled happily when she heard that there were so many delicious foods here, and she was so greedy that she almost drooled.

She wiped the corners of her mouth, patted her hands on her thighs, and said in a serious and childish voice: "I have decided, Yifu and I will live here and will never leave."

Everyone was amused by her little adult look.

Wang Xiao held his forehead, looked helplessly at the little girl who was slapping him, and said, "This is what Nian Nian and I originally intended."

In fact, it was not entirely because Wang Niannian liked this place, but also because Mu Yan gave him the absolute right to choose, which is a kind of dignity.

More importantly, after this incident, he realized that he did not have enough strength to protect Wang Niannian. If Wang Niannian continued to wander around with him, she might encounter danger.

So this is their best choice.

A gleam of light flashed in Mu Yan's eyes, and she nodded at him, "Okay!"

Everyone came over and patted Wang Xiao on the shoulder. This was a kind of etiquette, indicating that everyone accepted him.

When Mu Yan returned to the Mu family, the sky had gradually begun to brighten. As soon as she stepped into the house through the window, Bai Lu knocked on the door and walked in.

"Miss."

Mu Yan knew that she had been waiting for him to report the murder, so she asked, "What did Shen Wanwei say?"

"Lord Shen has found the best craftsman in the capital to verify the authenticity of this jade pendant, and it has been confirmed that the jade pendant Miss is of inferior quality.

The jade pendant that Master Yi has is of top quality, which means that the jade pendant on the young lady is not from the Yi family."
