Lan Ruozhu replied, “It’s okay. I slept for a while and just woke up.”

Su Binglan did not believe him and looked at Blue Eagle.

Blue Eagle answered truthfully, “Your Majesty found out you went out after his medical bath and was worried about you. He didn’t sleep and said he would wait for your return.”

“Blue Eagle, whose side are you on?” Lan Ruozhu asked helplessly. He was also indulgent toward Blue Eagle because the latter was the Shadow Guards’ leader his sister had trained for him.

Lan Ruozhu had been safe all these years because of Blue Eagle’s protection.

No one was a match for the latter, no matter how powerful one was. Lan

Ruozhu wondered how his sister had trained Blue Eagle to make him so

strong ana capaD1e.

Moreover, the King and Lan Ruobing never treated Blue Eagle as an outsider— instead, they treated him as one of their own. Therefore, the siblings did not avoid Blue Eagle when they reunited.

Blue Eagle knew Su Binglan was Princess Lan Ruobing, so he had to tell the truth when she asked about Lan Ruozhu.

“Of course, he’s on your side, Brother. Still, if you don’t care for yourself, he’ll inform me, and I’ll get angry.” Su Binglan pretended to look at Lan Ruozhu angrily.

Lan Ruozhu said helplessly, “No, I’ve been lying down to rest.”

Su Binglan stepped forward and checked her brother’s pulse. After confirming he was okay, she sighed in relief. “You’ve improved much more after taking the medical bath. You’ll be more energetic tomorrow after some sleep.”

She was delighted to see her brother improving, while Lan Ruozhu was happy to hear her words. He could start practicing martial arts again after recovering.

Lan Xiyao and Bing Suwan told their son he had a talent for martial arts when he was younger, so he started learning it at three. Lan Ruozhu could have protected his sister better if he had not fallen into the water that fateful winter.

He had been feeling relaxed since last night when Su Binglan performed acupuncture and gave him medicine. The fatigue in his body had dissipated, and he was not sleepy.

Lan Ruozhu seemed to have thought of something. He asked, “Did you extract the Gu worm from Tongtong?”

After dinner, he listened to his sister’s arrangements, then returned to his room to take his medical bath and rest. He only discovered Su Binglan had gone out for a house call as he rested but did not know how things went with Lei Tongtong.

Lan Ruozhu did not think of asking Blue Eagle and could only ask his sister. He suspected Thundercloud Castle had gotten involved in many things and that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Moreover, the Gu worms were related to the Miao Tribe. He had heard his mother talking about the southern border clan. He also knew his mother was from the Ice Clan but knew too little about them.

Lan Ruozhu did not even know where the Ice Clan resided or if they still existed. He had sent people to inquire about them, but no one knew anything.

Su Binglan sat by the bed and said, “I’ve already extracted the Gu. I have a use for it, too. Maybe I can find the person who planted it.”

“Isn’t it dangerous to keep that thing? Won’t the tribe find you through it?” Lan Ruozhu could not allow his sister to put herself in danger.

Su Binglan smiled and comforted him, “Don’t worry, Brother. I froze the Gu and sealed its aura. No one will find it, but I can find the person who owned it. Still, we must arrange for someone to investigate Thundercloud Castle’s situation.”

She suspected Thundercloud Castle was conspiring with another force. As for the specifics, she still needed to investigate.

Lan Ruozhu’s expression turned cold as he told Blue Eagle, “Get Blue One to arrange for the spies to sneak into Thundercloud Castle to gather more information.’

Lan Ruozhu did not want to alert the enemy and ordered a secret investigation.

Lan Ruobing had established the Shadow Guards Department, which nurtured spies. The spies she trained had infiltrated various forces before, and she would immobilize them to gather information if needed.

‘Sister’s Shadow Guards and spies are coming in handy. She’s always wise enough to have foresight. Otherwise, things would be troublesome for us now.

Fortunately, we have many people in the dark.’

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Blue Eagle respectfully concurred. Then he called in Blue One and the others to give them instructions.

Su Binglan seemed to have thought of something and frowned. Then she said, “Brother, those who tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate you came from the Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins. However, we don’t know who hired them.

“We must destroy the pavilion to warn those in the shadows. However, we must find out who’s behind this first.” Su Binglan’s entire body exuded a killing intent as she spoke.

She would not allow anyone to harm her brother, but she did not have any helpers by her side now. If she did, she would have already destroyed the Pavilion of a.s.sa.s.sins.

However, Su Binglan had to be more cautious about matters regarding Lan Ruozhu. He also wanted to destroy the pavilion and would not let them off so quickly.

Still, he feared other forces would s.h.i.+ft their attention to him once he destroyed the pavilion. He was also worried about exposing his sister and putting her in danger.

Su Binglan was in the middle of a conversation with her brother when she felt an impending killing intent. “Do you sense that aura, Brother?”

Lan Ruozhu’s expression turned solemn. “a.s.sa.s.sins?”

Blue Eagle also felt something was amiss and barged in. “Your Majesty, Miss

Su, there’s killing intent nearby.”

Lan Ruozhu looked at Su Binglan with self-reproach and said, “I’m sorry,

Sister. I’ve put this place in danger.”

Su Binglan calmly said, “Don’t blame yourself, Brother. It isn’t your fault. My hands have been itching lately, so let’s use these a.s.sa.s.sins to test our skills. I’ll ensure these a.s.sa.s.sins never return and destroy the forces behind them.”

Lan Ruozhu decisively said, “Blue Eagle, inform the rest of the Shadow Guards about my sister’s plans.”

Lan Ruozhu pa.s.sed a flute to Su Binglan as he spoke. It originally belonged to

Lan Ruobing, and he was returning it to its owner now.

Su Binglan took the flute and smiled. “Things will be easier with this.”

Then she leaped upward, landed on the roof, and started playing the flute. A rhythmic and melodic sound echoed, shocking the Shadow Guards.

‘Has Princess Lan returned?!’

The Shadow Guards were familiar with the flute’s melody since Princess Lan had trained them with it.

She would play different sounds to represent different signals so the guards knew what to do when they heard it. That was the tacit understanding between them and Princess Lan.

Blue Eagle knew Su Binglan was the princess, but the other guards protecting

Lan Ruozhu from the shadows did not. They only knew Su Binglan had saved Lan Ruozhu, so he acknowledged her as his younger sister.

The other Shadow Guards thought nothing of it then but were shocked at this moment..
