Chapter 32

Bai Yunhan was stunned for a moment, looking towards Sang Li, “Miss Sang, this is just a legend.”

Sang Li immediately said, “What legend? Can you tell us the details?”

Bai Yunhan hesitated, looking at Wu Ying, “Bai Yichen, you should leave. My father is dead now, and you’ve obtained the treasure map you wanted. Don’t come to the Bai family again in the future.”

Wu Ying glanced at Su Mo and saw that Su Mo was also looking at him.

He lowered his eyes and flew onto the roof with Ru Yue.

The guards ambushing on the roof did not receive orders and did not shoot arrows.

“You’re letting them go just like that? She killed your father!” Xiao Han said in surprise.

There was a flash of gloom in Bai Yunhan's eyes. “It was my father who wronged him first. How can there be an end to this cycle of retaliation? I didn't expect him to still be alive either. Ladies, let's end this matter here.”

“Young Master Bai, we want to know what this treasure map is about,” Sang Li asked.

Bai Yunhan dismissed the guards in the yard and went to the hall with Sang Li and the others.

“It’s just a legend. The treasure map my father obtained wasn’t even complete. It is said that there are four pieces in total, and only when the four pieces are combined is it the real treasure map. Legend has it that it does not lead to real treasures, but... a heavenly book. It is said that this heavenly book can reverse time and space and bring the dead back to life, but no one has ever actually seen it.”

The girls looked at each other, “Is it really a book?”

“Who knows, it’s just a legend. Where in the world is there something that can bring the dead back to life? But it was this legend that caused an uproar in the Jianghu. Many people went looking for the treasure map in order to find this heavenly book. My father obtained it by chance, which led to his death.”

“If we find all four pieces of the treasure map, can we find this heavenly book?”

“I guess so, but no one has been able to gather all four pieces at once. You saw how my third aunt had been lying in ambush in my Bai family for so long just for that one piece.”

The girls fell into contemplation. If this heavenly book was the chance for them to travel back, it seemed very difficult.

...

On the other side, Wu Ying and Ru Yue left the Bai family. They were originally going to take the treasure map back to the Dark Cabinet.

But Wu Ying stopped.

“You take the treasure map back. I still have things to do.” Wu Ying was about to leave when Ru Yue grabbed his arm.

“Wu Ying, what are you doing? Don’t tell me you’re going to find that Su Mo?!”

“Let go! It’s none of your business what I do!” Wu Ying shook off her hand.

“Could it be...you've really fallen in love with this woman?!” Ru Yue looked at him intently, “Wu Ying, you’re an assassin. You’re meant to kill, not to love!”

Wu Ying’s hand shot out and grabbed Ru Yue by the neck. He said fiercely, “Was it you who sent people to kill her? Who gave you the guts to touch her?!”

Ru Yue was choked by Wu Ying until her face turned red.

Just as Ru Yue was about to suffocate, he let go of her neck.

“Cough cough cough...” Ru Yue coughed violently.

“You should be glad she’s unharmed. Otherwise, you would undoubtedly die.” Wu Ying said coldly.

“That’s right...I heard everything you said to her in the room earlier tonight! Wu Ying, once an assassin falls in love, his end is near! You are the most promising candidate for the next Leader. For a woman, do you really want to betray the Dark Cabinet? Do you know what your fate will be?!”

Wu Ying was silent. Of course he knew. But when he saw the disappointed look in Su Mo's eyes today, he felt heartache for the first time. It wasn’t the kind of pain from an injury, it was the kind of pain that could suffocate someone, that could make one lose all hope of living.

Wu Ying ignored Ru Yue, picked up his sword, and flew away from the woods.

“Wu Ying!” Ru Yue yelled out in anger then kicked the tree in frustration.

...

When the four sisters returned to Wenge Pavilion, it was already dawn.

The three men in black they had tied up had fainted on the ground.

Xiao Han directly splashed them with a bucket of cold water to wake them up.

“Ladies, spare our lives! We won't dare anymore!” The men wailed.

Xiao Han walked over and shoved a pill into each of their mouths.

“Miss, Miss, we really know our wrongs!”

“This pill, you will need the antidote every so often. You’d better behave, or you won’t know how you died!”

“We’ll obey, we must obey!” The men quickly nodded. They felt like death was better than the unbearable feeling of intense itching all over their bodies but not being able to scratch it!

Xiao Han untied the ropes around them, “Get lost!”

The men rolled and crawled out in a panic.

Sang Li walked over and asked, “Xiao Han, did you really poison them?”

“Of course not, I was scaring them!”

Su Mo walked in expressionlessly, went straight to the bed, and got in without a word.

The three girls looked at each other.

“Su Mo is probably in a state of heartbreak.” Xia Miaomiao said softly, “She probably needs some time to recover.”

“It can’t be that serious right? It’s just a man. There were so many handsome guys around her before, did you see her act this way?” Xiao Han said.

“You've never experienced what it's like to have feelings for someone, so you naturally don't understand how she feels.” Sang Li said.

“Sister Sang, could it be you've liked a man before? I didn't know that!” Xiao Han said in surprise.

Sang Li glanced at her and smiled, “Neither have I, but I can try to understand from her perspective.”

“What should we do now? Should we look for the treasure maps? The world is so big, where do we even start looking?” Xia Miaomiao frowned worriedly, “Besides, one piece is now taken by Wu Ying and them. We can forget about getting it back from them.”

“Sigh...” The three girls sighed together.

They looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh. “Whatever, let nature take its course! Cheers!”

The Bai family matter could be considered temporarily settled for now.

From Bai Yunhan, they also learned about Wu Ying’s history with the Bai family.

Wu Ying's father, Bai Zhong, and Bai Yunhan's father, Bai Zhen, were half-brothers with the same father. As the eldest legitimate son, Bai Zhong was naturally the successor to become the next family head.

In order to seize the position of family head, Bai Zhen had always competed with Bai Zhong in secret, and eventually did not hesitate to kill Bai Zhong and his wife.

Although Bai Zhong’s martial arts skills were not inferior to Bai Zhen’s, he still couldn’t bear to attack his own brother because of their fraternal ties.

But Bai Zhen was determined to have Bai Zhong killed.

At that time, Wu Ying and Bai Yunhan were just about ten years old. The two were childhood best friends and did not know about the sinister plots and grievances between their parents.

It was not until Bai Zhong and his family were brutally murdered and Bai Yichen escaped by chance, his whereabouts unknown, that Bai Yunhan realized his father had killed his uncle’s family. Since then, Bai Yunhan also harbored resentment towards his father.

This was also why he did not want distinctions between main family members and side branches in the Bai family. The sinister infighting was enough to destroy the family.
