"Wait, that's too soon," said the Chu Emperor. "At least let us do something for you. You're the reason why we are still alive."
Everyone in the room nodded their heads in agreement.
"But the reason why I did it like this was so the citizens wouldn't witness that I was the one who killed them." (talking about killing Min Fu-Han and all of Quan Su Wen's sisters.)
"Ah… So people wouldn't know who really killed them," asked Quan Su Wen. "To prevent outsiders from getting involved and so you wouldn't get so much attention. And if the emperor did it, the citizens will feel more safe with the Emperor."
Lin Sheng and the others don't know that she was also the reason why the w.a.n.g Empire is not corrupted at the moment. Lin Yu Yan knew they wouldn't leave her alone so she had to make the situation about the same as the w.a.n.g Empire.
With the help of Quan Su Wen, who thinks closely like Lin Yu Yan, she put parts together and come to that conclusion.
"Right. I don't want to be the one who saved the empire or at least I don't want it to be known. If the Chu Emperor is the one who killed the crazy guy and put Su Wen's father in jail, then the remaining blood clan won't be after me, right?" said Lin Yu Yan.
"But wouldn't they go after the Chu Emperor?" asked Soo Li Na.
"No, they wouldn't. Based on the information, the Chu Emperor was never a threat to them. He was supposed to be taken down without any of the outside knowing and they don't really care who rules the Chu Empire," said Lin Zhi Zhen.
"Exactly. Since no one but us knows about this, let's keep it that way," said Lin Yu Yan.
Everyone else was silent, not wanting to agree since it makes sense but gives a bad feeling to their hearts.
"Uncle Xiang (Gu Xiang) and everyone else, I'm going to need you to spread the news of what happened. Go back to the w.a.n.g Empire and let it be known," said Lin Yu Yan.
"Yes, we'll do that," said Gu Xiang. Though he may be injured, he was still able to be at the meeting.
"Uncle?" asked Lin Sheng.
"Right..." said Lin Yu Yan. She forgot that her brother probably didn't know what happen these past ten years. "That's Gu w.a.n.g Shu's brother."
"Ah… he technically is our uncle," said Lin Sheng.
"I'm sorry for what my sister has done to you. She is here no more and will not cause anything to us anymore," said Gu Xiang, bowing down and apologizing to Lin Sheng.
"It's fine. I didn't have it bad as much as Yu Yan. Though my grandfather and his youngest son was a handful," said Lin Sheng.
"Wait… what happened?" asked Lin Zhi Zhen. She is their family and she wanted to know what happened to them.
Lin Yu Yan's eyes darken. Everyone who came from the w.a.n.g Empire, eyes darkens, and some looked away from Lin Zhi Zhen to not answer her question and everyone falls silent.
"Ah… well…" said Lin Yu Yan. "It's a long story. Let's just say they were bad people and they had to face their consequences."
Her voice was as cold as ice hearing those words come out of her mouth. Lin Zhi Zhen and the others knew by the tone of her voice that they have been killed probably by her hands.
"I do have an issue about you leaving, Yu Yan. I'm also part of the blood clan. Wouldn't the blood clan also want to find me?" asked Lin Sheng breaking the cold silence.
"Not really. You look more like our father and have been officially adopted by the Tang family. As long as you don't use that power, you should be fine," said Lin Yu Yan.
"But wouldn't the people who know about your father, also know about Lin Sheng having demon blood?" asked Lin Zhi Zhen.
"Aunt Zhi Zhen, mother is really good at hiding. She even hid from my grandfather. He's probably only seen her twice, when I was born and when Brother Sheng was born.
News about my father marrying my mother MADE it look like it was to rebel against my grandfather when really, she was first, obviously with my brother being born before his marriage was official with the other woman.
My grandfather and uncle fell for the bait, making it look like she was number two instead of number one. And with my kidnapping, it was an even better excuse for my mother, too hide deep into the unknown forest," said Lin Yu Yan.
Only a few people in the room know about Lin Yu Yan and Lin Sheng's family situation so the rest was quite confused about what she was saying.
"Makes sense now…" said Lin Sheng. he was thinking hard about their situation but everything made sense with that explanation. "Mother is a strong and faithful woman. She definitely would be angry at my father for marrying another woman… but to hide in such a big empire… she used Gu w.a.n.g Shu.

Making her feel like she's the superior wife… which is why she acted all c.o.c.ky. And for the people who don't know, look like it was a hierarchy situation."
"Exactly… So it's a high chance that my father, who is known as a hero in some parts, never told people he was married to my mother at all. My mother even hid the fact that I existed. Only a few people knew about me… And the ones that do, don't know my power, my age, or even my face," said Lin Yu Yan.
"I think that's why my mother didn't let me go into town and why Lin Sheng had more freedom than me. It's probably because of the demon clan who are after her and for sure will be after me since I look exactly like her."
Everyone looked at her seriously and understood the circ.u.mstances they have at hand and why she choose to leave so soon.
"Remember those scars…?" Lin Yu Yan asked.
"Yes…," said Chu Yang.
"I remember," said w.a.n.g Ping.
The ones who knew nodded their heads.
"My mother knew how to heal it but she didn't do it," said Lin Yu Yan. "Probably thinking that what Gu w.a.n.g Shu did to me made it a better chance for me to survive."
With that sentence, Lin Sheng and the people from w.a.n.g understood clearly what she meant. But they all have mixed emotions about it. They all, of course, want her to heal and look better but at the same time, now she's in even more danger.
In a sense, whatever Lin Yu Yan had gone through, and whatever plan she had for her future would always somehow bring her trouble.
"I know you guys don't want me to be hurt but the best plan is for me to leave," said Lin Yu Yan.
After a few more words, everyone came to the same conclusion and the meeting was soon over. Lin Yu Yan was so into the conversation, making it clear to them why it has to come to this, she forgot about the Chu Emperor.
"Lin Yu Yan, we still need to talk," said the Chu Emperor, grabbing her hand to stop her from going.
"Ah… that's right…," she said. "Su Wen. You need to stay too."
"Lin Yu Yan, we still need to talk," said the Chu Emperor, grabbing her hand to stop her from going.
"Ah… that's right…," she said. "Su Wen. You need to stay too."
"Eh? Me too?" Quan Su Wen said.
"Then I'll-" said Lin Sheng but Lin Yu Yan cut him off.
"No, you can't," said Lin Yu Yan. "Leave."
Lin Sheng was surprised but it seemed too important that he left without arguing back. Han Bingwen also wanted to stay but based on her reaction with her brother, it highly likely going to be the same answer so he also left the room.
After everybody left the room, the three sat on the chairs around the table and Quan Su Wen put up a barrier.
"Sound-proof barrier?" asked Lin Yu Yan, in English.
"Yes," she answered hesitantly back at her knowing the Chu Emperor was also with them.
"What? You're also…?" he said in English. Both Quan Su Wen and the Chu Emperor's eyes widen in surprise.
