Yun Changfeng was surprised to see Old Master Qin.
He first asked, "Was Old Master frightened yesterday? Thankfully, you returned safe and sound."
Old Master Qin replied directly, "I am fine. I have lived to this age, and I am no longer afraid of death. Nothing can frighten me. At worst, it's just death."
Yun Changfeng paused, acutely sensing that Old Master Qin seemed different today.
Normally, when Old Master Qin arrived at the General's mansion, his laughter preceded him.
But today, he had arrived, but there was no laughter, and no smile on his face.
Although Yun Changfeng was a bit surprised, he didn't think much of it. After all, Old Master Qin had been kidnapped yesterday.
"I rushed to see you today because I want to discuss something with you. We are both elders of two children, and we both want them to be well and to take fewer detours, right?" Old Master Qin looked at Yun Changfeng, sighing inwardly. He didn't like Yun Shu, but he had a good impression of Yun Changfeng.
It was rare for them to have common ground.
Alas, what a pity.
Yun Changfeng smiled and nodded, "Old Master Qin is right. As parents, we truly don't want our children to suffer. If they can take fewer detours, the better."
Seeing Yun Changfeng's understanding and righteousness, Old Master Qin sighed again in his heart. The words he was about to speak suddenly felt difficult.
He didn't know why, but he also felt a little sad.
However, he had to say it, "We think alike. Since that's the case, then you should persuade Yun Shu to stop seeing the Night King. The two of them are not suited for each other, and they have no fate to be together in this life. Let Yun Shu fend for herself."
"What?!" Yun Changfeng's eyes widened, thinking he had misheard.
Was he dreaming right now?
Otherwise, how could Old Master Qin have come to him to say such things?
To have Shu'er stop seeing the Night King?
"You heard correctly. This is why I came to see you today. I won't say much more. As for the reason, I cannot tell you, and I believe Yun Shu also cannot tell you. Those things are truly too difficult to speak of. We all understand tacitly. You don't need to see me out, I'm leaving." Old Master Qin felt a little reluctant.
After all, Yun Changfeng was a decent junior and a righteous great general.
What a pity.
Alas!
Yun Changfeng stood there dumbfounded. He didn't recover until Old Master Qin had left.
When he came to his senses, he also said in astonishment, "Could Old Master Qin have been threatened by someone? Otherwise, why would he say such nonsensical things for no reason?"
He immediately chased after him.
Meanwhile, Yun Shu had arrived after hearing that Old Master Qin had visited the mansion.
She happened to run into Old Master Qin.
There were no spies in the General's mansion.
So, after bumping into Old Master Qin, Yun Shu directly asked, "Old Master, regardless of the reason, if it's inconvenient to say at the Qin residence or the Night King's mansion, then you can say it directly here."
She firmly believed that Old Master Qin was being coerced.
Upon seeing Yun Shu, Old Master Qin snorted and said angrily, "Some things are better left unsaid, as they will only dirty my mouth. The things you have done... truly make me regret knowing you. I would rather live a few years less than know you."
With that, Old Master Qin left in a huff.
Yun Shu's mouth twitched upon seeing this.
What was going on?
Yun Changfeng caught up. Seeing Old Master Qin walk away, he quickly asked Yun Shu, "Shu'er, what's wrong with Old Master Qin? He said a lot of things to your father, all to the effect that you shouldn't be with the Night King. What's gotten into him?"
Yun Shu was truly speechless. She sighed, rubbing her forehead, "I don't know yet, but I should figure it out in the next couple of days. Father, you don't need to worry about this. The Night King and I can handle it."
"No, this is too wrong! How much Old Master Qin liked you before, he couldn't wait for you to marry the Night King. But today, he's talking about disliking you and even saying you've done unspeakable things. Shu'er, did you do something that made Old Master Qin misunderstand you?" Yun Changfeng was truly puzzled.
Yun Shu shook her head, "There's nothing unspeakable about my affairs."
"Yes! Then what's going on with Old Master Qin?" Yun Changfeng frowned, unable to figure it out.
Yun Shu also frowned, pondering carefully for a long time.
But she really had no unspeakable secrets.
Before, she didn't want Xiao Jing's identity to be known and had slightly concealed her medical skills.
But now, everyone knew these two points.
Of course, there was another point: she was not the real Yun Shu. The body was the same, but the soul had changed.
However, even Ji Rong couldn't be sure about this matter, let alone Old Master Qin, who had known her after she transmigrated.
Therefore, this matter was truly mysterious.
It even made her curious.
Yun Changfeng, worried, walked outside with his hands behind his back. "No, no, your father must investigate and find out. You stay home. You didn't sleep much last night, go back and get some more rest."
Yun Changfeng had just left when Jing Heng arrived.
Jing Heng said in a low voice to Yun Shu, "Master, I investigated. It's true that two merchants hired people to kidnap Old Master Qin. And it's true that Old Master Qin persuaded them. But they only held Old Master Qin for about an hour before and after the kidnapping. Old Master Qin was released long ago. Therefore, after leaving, Old Master Qin must have gone somewhere else, or met someone, before returning to the Qin residence."
"But who he met, I couldn't find out. Ruan Xi said he couldn't find out either. Old Master Qin completely disappeared during this period. Even if the Night King's people looked, they wouldn't find any clues, unless Old Master Qin spoke of it himself."
He frowned again and said coldly, "Old Master Qin is too much."
If the Master hadn't intervened back then, and Old Master Qin hadn't begged the Master with money, how could the Master have acted?
Now, for some unknown reason, he had turned his back on them, wanting to separate the Master and the Night King, and even falsely accuse the Master of doing unspeakable things.
He was very angry.
Yun Shu pondered for a moment and said to Jing Heng, "Old Master Qin wouldn't act like this for no reason. There must be a reason."
"Master, don't make excuses for Old Master Qin," Jing Heng's voice became colder.
No one could stop him from being angry.
Yun Shu was helpless and didn't say more. Instead, she glanced not far away. "Has A'cha been unhappy these past few days? Did you upset her?"
Upon hearing the name A'cha, Jing Heng's cold face softened slightly. He seemed not to have noticed A'cha's abnormality and asked, "Has she?"
