The Prime Minister’s Darling

As Xiao Hen heard the name, his eyes suddenly became sore and filled with tears.

He has returned.

Returning as still Long Yi.

Long Yi, have you found your memories and the answers you sought?

Are you here to hunt down the Sword Lodge, or to come home?

Will you stay by my side forever?

Xiao Hen had so many questions he wanted to ask Long Yi, but unfortunately, this was not the time to discuss them.

The Sword Lodge had dispatched four masters, and although he wasn't versed in martial arts, it wasn't hard to sense that they were stronger than the dead swordsmen.

They must be the four Masters Li Jiangping mentioned.

Long Yi, you have to be careful.

"It's Shitian!" the White Tiger Master exclaimed in shock.

The other three had actually recognized him too. In a world full of unexpected events, the scene before them was absolutely the most surprising.

Once a genius swordsman, the direct disciple of the Sect Leader, now transformed into an enemy that washed the Sword Lodge in blood.

This is truly—

The Azure Dragon Master, as the head of the four Masters, was supposed to have the right to speak. He stepped forward, his face dark as he looked at Long Yi, commanding, "Shitian! Are you truly going to stand against the Sword Lodge?"

His gaze swept over Xiao Hen and others, returning to Long Yi's masked face: "Don't be fooled by these people. You are not Long Yi; you are a disciple of our Sword Lodge. The Sect Leader is your master. He raised you single-handedly, and to him, you are half a son! When you went missing, he spared no effort to find your whereabouts. Learning that you didn't complete the task, he didn't blame you, he only hoped to find you safely. Who knew you'd been abducted and memory erased, forgetting all the moments at Sword Lodge!"

About Long Yi's amnesia, Dark Soul had already reported to the Sword Lodge. They didn't know how the amnesia happened, but it was likely man-made, with the purpose of making Shitian a tool of murder.

And the culprits were these who claimed Long Yi as their own!

"Azure Dragon Master." Long Yi spoke, his voice monotone and cold, like his aura.

What's happening?

How does he know his identity?

Could Dark Soul's information be false? Did he not lose his memory?

Azure Dragon Master looked at Long Yi incredulously, examining him thoroughly. Then his pupils shrunk: "Black Moon Sword?!"

"What?" The Vermilion Bird Master beside him also widened his eyes, fixedly staring at the sword in Long Yi's hand, "It's indeed the Black Moon Sword! Strange, wasn't the Black Moon Sword lost by the Young Lord? How is it in Shitian's hand?"

Once they spoke, Xiao Hen also looked at Long Yi's sword.

He was closer to Long Yi and could see more clearly. It was indeed the Black Moon Sword.

It's strange because the Black Moon Sword should have been in the hands of Xuanyuan Qi and Liao Chen. They took the sword and Young Master Mingyue to the Sword Lodge.

So how did this sword end up with Long Yi?

Taking advantage of the confrontation of the big shots, Shangguan Qing dashed over with a firearm.

He was the only one on the scene who hadn't met Long Yi before. Feeling the unfamiliar aura, Long Yi moved his long sword.

Xiao Hen pressed down on his sword hilt: "It's my brother."

Long Yi's killing intent dissipated.

Shangguan Qing knelt on one knee beside his brother: "Is Jiaojiao alright?"

"She fainted." Xiao Hen held Gu Jiao tightly, saying with distress.

"What exactly is going on? Is this Long Yi the Dragon Shadow Guard you mentioned?"

"Yes." But regarding the specifics, Xiao Hen was also only half aware.

In his mind, there were roughly three doubts: First, how did Long Yi get the Black Moon Sword? It was impossible for Xuanyuan Qi to have lost it, so there were only two possibilities. Either Xuanyuan Qi willingly gave it to Long Yi, or Long Yi took it by force.

But regardless of which, Long Yi had definitely met Xuanyuan Qi.

So, the question was, where did Xuanyuan Qi and the others go?

The third doubt, this Azure Dragon Master kept insisting that Long Yi was half a son to the Sect Leader, but where would a son regain his memory only to destroy his father's sect?

There must be an unknown secret between the Sword Lodge Sect Leader and Long Yi.

And this secret, perhaps not even the four Masters knew.

Yet, knowing or not, their actions of aiding and abetting evildoers were unforgivable.

The White Tiger Master snorted coldly: "Azure Dragon Master, Shitian has long betrayed the Sword Lodge. There's no need to waste words with him, just cleanse the sect for the Sect Leader!"

Azure Dragon Master frowned, saying to Long Yi: "Shitian, I give you one last chance! Return to the Sword Lodge, and I will plead with the Sect Leader, saying you were deceived by these people, which led to actions against the Sword Lodge."
