The Fourth Lady

Chapter 94 Safe Return I

Su Yun and Luo Bing would occasionally learn from Qingdai and Chishao some things that happened.

Qingdai under Qingyan's orders recounted some events with vivid detail.

Qingdai studied Su Yun and Luo Bing's expression and just knew Qingyan had described their

personality quite accurately.

Even if Su Yun respected the old madam, her significance in his heart was nothing compared to this

daughter.

However, Qingdai never expected that Su Jiashi wasn't the original Su Jiashi, but was actually the

servant girl of the first Su Jiashi. Yet, the only ones that knew the truth of the matter was Su Yun alone.

And Su Yun didn't have any family affection for this Su Jiashi.

"According to what you say, Yan'er hasn't been well at all these years, enduring the second house and

third house's bullying. No wonder she didn't like us in the past." Luo Bing glared at Su Yun as she said

this. Su Yun grabbed her hand and quietly sighed.

All these years, he'd never really wronged anyone, but asking his own heart now, the one he was most

sorry to would probably this daughter of his.

Chishao secretly gave Qingdai a praising expression. In actuality, their appearance here to tell them

these things were all instructed by Qingyan. How to make Su Yun feel remorseful, how to make Su Yun

began to hate that Su manor, perhaps this was the best way.

"Lord Su, madam, miss's life right now is really quite well." Qingdai looked to the two who were silent This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

and replied with a smile. "Miss said, to be able to become your daughter, she felt really happy."

They couldn't see what was happening over at the Forest of Buried Souls, but the blood-curdling

screams never stopped. It was as if something extremely tragic was happening over there.

However, Qingdai and Chishao knew, it must be those animals making a move. She'd calculated that

there was probably almost a hundred people hiding in the forest. Even though these people won't

return alive, it's also time to send them off to meet buddha.

"Qingdai, what do you think this sound is? Feels like a cry for help." When Luo Bing heard this sound,

she furrowed her brows. Although she's seen all kinds of things on the battlefield, this kind of blood-

curdling scream for help was a first to hear.

Qingdai looked to them and shook her head. "Perhaps they've encountered the wrath of heaven. I

heard there's countless corpses buried in this Forest of Buried Souls. Some accidentally died falling

into the marshes, some were murdered here."

Chishao also once heard the rumors about the Forest of Buried Souls. Their very last trial at the Seven

Star Hall was to survive for a month in this forest. If they can return alive, then they've officially become

a part of the Seven Star Hall.

And she also knew that some will be buried in the mouths of those giant beasts, and some will be

buried deeply under the marshes.

And since ancient times, accounted in historical records, many brilliant souls and loyal bones are

buried here in this Forest of Buried Souls.

"Lord Su, Madam, at present, it is still very early. You must be tired from your journey. Let us watch

over for tonight." Qingdai looked to the two of them and respectfully spoke.

To shadow guards like them, they can even clearly detect the sound of grass blowing in the wind.

Su Yun originally wanted to refuse their good offer, but the continued strain from traveling certainly did

make him a bit weaker than desired. Luo Bing had already cozily fallen asleep by the fire, and Su Yun

held her as he slowly entered dreamland as well, leaning against the rocky cave.

Qingdai and Chishao walked outside the cave, "As per miss's orders, since we've already rescued the

General and Madam, I'll shoot the signal fire."

Qingdai looked to Chishao and nodded. Afterwards, she lit a signal bomb and threw it into the sky.

Instantly, it exploded into a multicolored firework.

Qingyan, who was residing in the ancestral halls, hadn't slept. She had been gazing out the window at

the sky in the distance the whole time. Although the night was dark and she couldn't see anything, the

stars filled night skies could somewhat help her calm down.

Suddenly, a multicolored firework exploded into the sky. After seeing that firework, Qingyan instantly

felt relieved. That firework was solely made by the Thousand Beast Pavilion. Very little people in

Jianghu would know this firework, that's why she was fine with giving it to Qingdai and Chishao to use.

With this, it seems they've safely rescued Su Yun and Luo Bing.

However, while others didn't recognize the firework, it didn't mean that the members of the Thousand

Beast Pavilion couldn't, particularly Yaochi and Liushang, who were tossing around in their beds unable

to sleep. They were thinking about the recent happenings with Su Qingyan, until they heard the

explosion coming from the sky. Only then, were they thoroughly awoken by shock.

Yaochi immediately walked to the window and saw the bursting firework in the sky. This firework was

their Thousand Beast Pavilion's mark, however more importantly, was that this firework belonged only

to the Pavilion Master.

That's right, this multicolored firework was usually used to summon the members of the Thousand

Beast Pavilion. And only the Pavilion Master alone could create this kind of firework.

But why would they see this firework here? Could it be that Su Qingyan really is Qilian Qingyan?

"Brother, I saw the Seven Star firework. Isn't that the signal the Pavilion Master uses to summon us?"

When Liushang pushed opened the door, he saw Yaochi standing by the window pondering.

"Liushang, do you know what direction that was just now?" Yaochi turned around to face Liushang with

a serious look.

Liushang looked to him and nodded, "Naturally I recognize it, that's the direction of the Forest of Buried

Souls."

Yaochi knew that place. The rumors of the forest taking human lives, he also knew very well as well.

But just who in the world could enter and leave the forest as they pleased, moreover to also be able to

set off that kind of signal. And just who was that signal discharged for to see?

"Yaochi what are you thinking about?" Liushang walked up next to him and looked to him asking, "Are

you worried that someone out there is using the master's Seven Star firework to entice us?"

Yaochi shook his head, "That's not the case, I think this is probably the Su miss's doing."

Yaochi began piecing together everything he'd heard recently. Recently, Donghe's Dingguo General Su

Yun and his army were returning to the capital, and that Forest of Buried Souls was an unavoidable

place. In other words, someone out there was preparing to kill off Su Yun and his wife in that forest.

And all of this was found out by Qingyan, so she sent someone to protect her parents.

That signal that was sent out probably meant that the people she sent to protect Su Yun and his wife

had already succeeded in saving them.

"Liushang, I'm going to head to the Forest of Buried Souls right now." Yaochi said as he immediately

disappeared. Right now, he simply couldn't confirm some things. Some things can't be established

simply based on reasoning. But he just happened to have also heard that [Thousand Beasts and

Phoenix] tune tonight as well.

If Su Qingyan really was Qilian Qingyan, then why did Qilian Qingyan turn into Su Qingyan's

appearance? And where did the original Su Qingyan go?

Could it be that the 'reincarnation into another's body' written in the ancient texts really came true?

However, all of this still needed to be investigated.

If she wanted to become the Thousand Beast Pavilion's master, she also needed to have their

approval. Furthermore, Su Qingyan's every move and behavior was certainly too similar to the former

Qilian Qingyan.

He had already felt remorseful for not being able to properly protect Qilian Qingyan in the past. If Su

Qingyan really is Qilian Qingyan, then this time, he will definitely properly protect this miss.
