The next day, when Qu Qingyan got up at breakfast time, she found out that her father had returned last night.

She went to look for him before she had breakfast.

The rain stopped last night, but it started drizzling again at dawn.

She held an oil-paper umbrella and walked towards the corridor.

Without the noisy voices in her mind, she looked at the scene in front of her and actually felt a sense of appreciation.

She was lucky to be able to live a second life, but her current situation was still full of dangers.

I hope that one day, she can be like an ordinary person and watch the flowers bloom and fall calmly.

Her residence was next to her father's, and after walking through the corridor and passing through an archway, she arrived at her destination.

"Yan'er, why are you here?" Qu Honglin was handling official business at his desk. He noticed someone coming and looked up. Seeing that it was his daughter, he stood up to greet her. "It's raining outside again. After your father finishes the official business at hand, he will prepare to have breakfast with you."

Qu Qingyan glanced at the pile of files on the desk and frowned slightly, "Dad, you came back last night?"

"Isn't this what Yan'er wanted to ask?" Qu Honglin looked as if he had expected it.

Qu Qingyan pouted with some dissatisfaction, "Dad must have known where my daughter went last night."

Since she was born, she has been protected by countless secret guards, and her every move naturally cannot escape their surveillance.

The secret guards must have reported what happened last night to my father.

"Silly girl, your father is in a high position and has many enemies. You are the apple of your father's eye. If you are careless, you will be in danger. Your father has no choice but to send more people to protect you." Qu Honglin took the tea handed over by the palace maid and put it in his daughter's hand. A helpless look appeared on his handsome face. "You are a troublesome girl. You have been acting too dangerously recently. How can your father not worry about you?"

Over the years, he has kept his daughter firmly in the Prime Minister's Residence and has never let her encounter any danger.

Not only that, before this, no one in this world knew her name except him, her father.

Therefore, the world only knows that he has a beloved daughter, but no one knows who she is, what her appearance is, and what her character is like.

But this hunting trip will eventually get involved in the royal disputes.

"Dad, I'm not blaming you. I just don't understand why you helped Qu Xinzhu and Mo Li rescue Wu Xinkui last night?" Qu Qingyan put the teacup on the table next to her with a hint of resentment, obviously unhappy.

She was waiting to see those three people get out of control yesterday and be captured by the Royal Guards.

Who knew that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway and the group of assassins would rescue them.

She recognized at a glance that the group of men in black were her family's hired assassins. She could not think of any other possibility except that her father gave the order.

Hearing this, Qu Honglin smiled and asked, "Is Yan'er angry?"

"What do you think?" Qu Qingyan glanced at him.

Qu Honglin shook his head in amusement, "What my father did last night was just..."

Before he could finish his words, he paused and changed his tone, "Those people who are causing chaos in the martial arts world have always been a major concern for the imperial court. When I took action last night, I just wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Really?" Qu Qingyan still felt tempted.

Her father's actions last night accidentally helped her complete the system task, which made her doubt.

Qu Honglin nodded with a smile, "Of course it's true, how could your father lie to you? After luring out those people from the underworld last night and killing them, your father has already captured Wu Xinkui again, and he is now in the dungeon of the palace."

Hearing this news, Qu Qingyan couldn't help but laugh, "If that's the case, then wouldn't Mo Li and Qu Xinzhu have worked in vain?"

"They have been sent to prison and are awaiting their fate."

After Qu Honglin said this, Qu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then her watery eyes moved slightly, and a hint of gloating appeared at the corner of her mouth.

[Host, no, this scene is not in the plot. You have to find a way to get the hero and heroine out, otherwise...]

The annoying noise sounded again, and Qu Qingyan's face instantly sank, "Otherwise, the Heavenly Dao will find out something is wrong, and the world will be in danger?"

[Host, you...] Xiaoyaer's words were taken over by her, not knowing what to say.

Qu Qingyan sneered in his heart, "Little one, are you my Qu Qingyan's system, or Qu Xinzhu's lackey? Why do you always side with her? If you really have second thoughts, then we might as well break up now. I, Qu Qingyan, will never accept a system that turns its elbow outward!"

Even though they were soul bound, it was not impossible to break the contract.

Although there is only one rule recorded in the system, after her death, the dog system can choose another host within a limited time.

But everything has yin and yang, which is the balance. There must be other solutions.

And she is also trying her best to find opportunities that are in her favor.

[Host, your words hurt my feelings. I am just worried about your safety and have no other intentions. Why do you have to imagine and speculate on my good intentions?] There was also a lot of dissatisfaction in Xiaoyaer's words.

Last night, he tried to enter the host's sea of ​​consciousness but failed and was injured instead. He had just obtained a little energy and used it to heal his injuries. Now he was full of anger and had no place to vent it.

But just as he said this, he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura coming from outside.

When he saw that handsome face that looked like a banished immortal, he could no longer utter a single sound and became completely quiet.

Qu Honglin glanced at it indifferently, not knowing what he was looking at, but it caused a certain phantom to shake continuously.

Qu Qingyan glanced disdainfully at the half-grown boy floating beside him, "Why don't you say anything?"

[Host, I…I just said it without any intention, and I have no ill intentions.] The little one explained in a flattering manner and disappeared on the spot.

Qu Qingyan had long seen the dog system's virtue of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, so he snorted coldly and said to the handsome man beside him: "Dad, it's getting late, let's go eat first."

When she learned that the male and female protagonists were thrown into prison, she was in a good mood and her appetite increased.

"Okay, I'll have dinner with you right away." Qu Honglin asked someone to put everything away, then he held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked side by side with his daughter.

Qu Qingyan looked at the light rain and asked, "Dad, are we going back today?"

"We have been out for quite some time, it's time to go back. After breakfast, we will return to Beijing. Your master also arrived at the Prime Minister's Residence last night and was waiting for you to come back and reunite." Qu Honglin was tall, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and replied with a smile on his face.

Upon hearing the news, Qu Qingyan was overjoyed, "Master is here? That's great, I haven't seen him for a long time."

So long that it has lasted for two lifetimes.
