Su Wenwu could feel his sister’s confidence and understood that she had everything under control. He knew how capable his sister was but was just worried about Ye Feiran.
After some coaxing from Su Binglan, he knew he did not have to worry. Instead, he only needed to listen to her plans. Su Wenwu was proud to have such a capable person as his sister.
He scratched the back of his head, thinking, ‘So, I’m also royalty, right? After all, Sister is a princess.’
Su Wenwu felt strangely excited, while Su Binglan was unaware of his thoughts. Soon after, Su Binglan entered the room where the Black Shadow Pavilion master slept.
Then, she pricked his head with a needle to wake him up. The Pavilion Master was shocked when he opened his eyes. Ji Zhengjing, the Pavilion Master, even thought he was hallucinating.
“Don’t worry, Master Zhengjing. You’re no longer in the Ye family’s house nor their prisoner. You’re safe now. The family won’t find you here.”
Although Ji Zhengjing felt Su Binglan looked familiar, he remained vigilant. After all, the young lady must be extraordinary if she knew his identity.
Su Binglan noticed his wary expression and said, “My father is Su Fengmao, the boy you once took in and cared for. However, my father has lost his memories and doesn’t remember what happened to the Black Shadow Pavilion.
“We also found out about my father’s relationship with the Black Shadow Pavilion.”
Ji Zhengjing was excited when he heard that. His eyes reddened as he asked, “Fengmao’s alive?! No, I mean, your father’s alive?”
He had always thought his foster son had died. After all, he heard that someone from the Black Shadow Pavilion had wanted to kill Su Fengmao.
Ji Zhengjing could not remember what had happened when he tried to save Su Fengmao back then, but he remembered his foster son’s name, “Mao,” in it. That was why he remembered Su Fengmao’s name when Su Binglan mentioned it.
Su Binglan knew Ji Zhengjing had treated her father well. Otherwise, she would not have saved the Pavilion Master and told him such things.
She nodded and replied, “Yes, my father is alive, but he has lost his memories about the Black Shadow Pavilion. Still, he keeps dreaming about you recently. I think you’re still in his subconscious, even though he has forgotten much about the Black Shadow Pavilion.”
Tears welled in Ji Zhengjing’s eyes when he heard that. “It’s good that he’s alive. Thank goodness.”
He smiled for the first time in a long while because he was excited. He had always feared something terrible would happen to his foster son. He was relieved when he heard that Su Fengmao was still alive.
Ji Zhengjing had been holding his breath because he thought the Black Shadow Pavilion had killed Su Fengmao. The former wanted to live on to avenge his foster son and did not want Su Fengmao to fall to them.
“You father… Is he okay?” Ji Zhengjing could not help but worry about his foster son. After all, Su Fengmao was his most trusted disciple.
Su Binglan answered, “Indeed, my father is doing very well. I can bring you to our hometown if we have time. The village is very lively now.”
Ji Zhengjing understood that his foster son had returned to Su Teng Village. Perhaps that was why the Black Shadow Pavilion could not locate Su Fengmao.
“I’m relieved that Fengmao is okay. I didn’t expect his daughter to be so big now.” Ji Zhengjing recalled Su Fengmao as a young man as he spoke.
“I have three elder brothers. My eldest brother has two sons. Our home is very lively, with so many people around.”
“That’s good to hear.” Ji Zhengjing was delighted for Su Fengmao. Suddenly, the former raised his brows and asked, “How did you help me get away from the Ye family? They won’t let you off after what you’ve done.
“You’ll be in danger if they find out that you helped me escape.” Ji Zhengjing motioned to get off the bed and leave. He felt he should not implicate his foster son or his family.
Moreover, Ji Zhengjing would not doubt Su Binglan’s words because she was very similar to her father. There was a secret technique in the Black Shadow Pavilion where they could distinguish one’s aura. Therefore, Ji Zhengjing knew Su Binglan was Su Fengmao’s daughter.
‘If this young lady is here for the Black Shadow Pavilion token, she could have asked her father to come instead of coming here herself.’
Su Binglan stopped Ji Zhengjing from getting up, saying, “Wait a moment, Master Zhengjing. No one can enter this place, even if they find you. We got you out of the Ye family’s forbidden sector to bring you here.
“My third brother is good friends with Ye Feiran, the current young master of the family. She was the reason we knew how to enter the forbidden sector.”
Ji Zhengjing returned to his senses and nodded. “Ah, I understand now.”
‘It seems this young lady is proficient in martial arts, too. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to get me out of there. I remember Fengmao being talented and strong in martial arts. Ordinary people were no match for him.’
Su Fengmao would have been much better off if someone had not leaked some information back then. Ji Zhengjing could not find his foster son once he realized someone had leaked the information.
Although everyone kept saying Su Fengmao had died, Ji Zhengjing refused to believe them. He always thought Su Fengmao was alive, perhaps because he had not seen Su Fengmao’s corpse.
After finding out that Su Fengmao was still alive, Ji Zhengjing felt all his pent-up anger had dissipated. He said, “Your father is my most capable disciple. I knew he’d be okay.”
The older man’s emotions ran high at that moment. After some thought, Su Binglan asked, “Master Zhengjing, how do you feel?”
Ji Zhengjing shook his head and answered, “It’s okay. I feel good.”
He refused to say he had a problem with his body. Su Binglan said, “Master Zhengjing, let us help you settle things with the Black Shadow Pavilion. I also think my father would like to see you. Perhaps his memories might come rushing back once he does.”
Ji Zhengjing replied, “What happened to the Black Shadow Pavilion was because we had yet to decide on the next master. Since the token is still out there, Fengmao can take over the Black Shadow Pavilion if he finds it.
“Still, he must regain his memories and be willing to do so. Also, he’s the second-best assassin in the martial arts world simply because no one dares to claim to be the best.
“Although there are other talented individuals in our world, I think your father is the best of all. I can rest assured that if he takes over as the Master of the Black Shadow Pavilion, he could even pass it on to you.”
Su Binglan said, “Master Zhengjing, I shall bring you to my hometown in a few days. I’m sure you have plenty to tell my father.”
She did not care about the Black Shadow Pavilion. Even so, she wanted to wait for her father to regain his memories before dealing with them. That way, she could respect her father’s wishes on whether or not he wanted to take over.
