Section 4

Ah? Could it be that you are truly her daughter? The Moon Goddess did not die when she jumped off the cliff? Then you are the daughter of her and Tian Canghai? The ancient zither from the chaotic times was also stolen by you two in collusion?

Suddenly, a flash of white light appeared before my eyes, and a knife was already pressed against my neck

His knife pressed down even lower, and a shallow cut appeared on my neck, the taste of blood was sweet. I suddenly recalled my master's words. This was indeed a very dangerous matter; even as a joke, one could inadvertently lose their life. However, from his tone, it seemed there was more to the story. Are you really her daughter? This indicated that someone had given him a preconceived notion. I am indeed the daughter of Shangguan Qing'er.

The master's words are not disregarded; rather, there are many questions in my heart that remain unresolved. Furthermore, there is a danger of being plotted against while in deep sleep. It is better to move about a bit and investigate the reality of the situation.

Suddenly, the sound of a zither could be heard from an unknown source

I turned back to look, and it should be Shen Ruosu. He does not differ much from the description given by Second Sister on https://www.hetushu.com, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, tall and imposing. Most importantly, there is a heroic aura between his brows and eyes, unlike that of a bloodthirsty person

Shen Ruosu's room is located at 2 Yi Zi on the lower floor

Taking advantage of his negligence, I swiftly raised my foot and kicked him in the abdomen. As he bent down in pain, I stepped on his shoulder and leaped up. Back in the room, I tended to my wound in front of the bronze mirror; the shallow red mark was startling to behold. I sighed in frustration, knowing that I would inevitably be scolded by my master tomorrow

As night fell, my master instructed me to rest early, and finally said: "Ru Yan, be vigilant at night and do not wander about aimlessly. If any of them intends to kill you, although it cannot be resolved with just one or two moves, it is by no means an impossible task. Moreover, among the three of them, one surely possesses that ancient zither from the chaotic times. That zither has not been seen in the world for thirty years, and now that it has reemerged, who knows what kind of calamity it may bring."

Who are you? Sneaking around at such a late hour, what are your intentions?

Can't you see it?

The sound of the zither is dark, dull, and expressionless, yet it makes my heart uneasy. Is this zither piece the ancient tune "Peach Blossom Chaos" from the chaotic era?

Shangguan Qing'er? I have only heard my master say that she is an extremely beautiful woman, but I truly know nothing else. Since Shen Ruosu cannot recognize me, I have decided to tease her a little by keeping her in suspense.

Shen Ruosu was momentarily stunned by my appearance, and I felt a sense of secret satisfaction. Although my second sister's gentle beauty differed from my ethereal grace, upon closer inspection, our features were strikingly similar. I smiled slightly, and Shen Ruosu suddenly lowered the knife and asked, "Tell me, what is your relationship to Shangguan Qing'er?"

I quietly stepped out the door, careful not to wake anyone else. I performed a backflip from the second floor, and there were no lights in Shen Ruosu's room; upon listening closely, there was also no sound of breathing. Could it be that he is not in the room?

It was only now that I realized that my brother-in-law, Shen Ruosu, whom I had never met, is the son of the renowned "Poison-Free Young Master" Shen Tianqi. This was something I had completely not anticipated
