Zhong Linqi leaned on the corridor of the inn with his arms folded, listening intently to the movement in the room behind him.

After a while, the door of the room behind him opened, and Bai Lixuan walked out: "Yu Shiqi's wounds have been taken care of, don't worry, Master Zhong."

The title "Zhong Daxia" made Zhong Linqi a little uncomfortable, but he did not express any opinion on it. Instead, he immediately walked into the room to check on Yu Shiqi's condition. Bai Lixuan followed him cautiously.

"I didn't expect that a noble lady like you would do this..." After seeing the wound dressing, Zhong Linqi couldn't help but marvel at the professionalism and sophistication of her techniques.

"The medicine you brought is very good." Bai Lixuan said, "I just gave him the medicine and then bandaged it."

Zhong Linqi nodded, reached out and handed a key to her, and then gestured to another room next door with his eyes: "It's getting late, go and have a rest."

Bai Lixuan held the key and asked hesitantly: "Don't we have to leave Jingrong overnight?"

"It's not necessary."

"Have you... met my father?" She quickly guessed the reason. If Zhong Linqi hadn't already been in contact with Baili Cheng, they wouldn't be able to stay in the city so comfortably and stay in an inn with such arrogance.

.

"See you."

"Really... Although I don't know what he promised you, I still hope you will be careful."

Zhong Linqi smiled: "Don't think too much, we will leave Jingrong tomorrow."

Bai Lixuan said "hmm", glanced at Yu Shiqi who was lying on the bed, turned around and left.

Zhong Linqi watched her go out, then walked a few steps to the door and locked the lock. He turned to the half-open window and said, "Brothers outside, you can come in."

A figure quickly rolled in from the window, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhong Linqi, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Xiliang Prefecture's Ferry Assassin Bai Shun, see the Ferry Master."

"Jin Yang asked you to come?"

"It is indeed the order from the ferry chief. The Jin Yang Ferry Chief asked me to tell the ferry master on his behalf that the Xiliang Prefecture Fendu has assembled twenty-four good men, ready to obey orders at any time."

"The action is quite fast." Zhong Linqi thought for a while and said to him: "Then you go back and tell him now, don't be nervous, it's fine, let everyone disperse."

Bai Shun raised his head in astonishment: "Does the ferry master mean that there is no need to retaliate against the Bailihou Mansion?"

"No matter how you say it, he is still a marquis." Zhong Linqi squinted his eyes, "I want to give you some face."

"Don't worry, Lord Ferry, the Jinyi Ferry Division is ready. As long as you are willing, the Bailihou Mansion will be completely destroyed tonight. The families of the governor of Xiliang Prefecture and the generals of the guards are all under our control. Guaranteed

They dare not make any move."

"Okay." Zhong Linqi shook his head, "Go back and tell Jin Yang that I don't have this idea and that everything should be based on the overall plan."

"I understand! I'm resigning. The ferry master is safe." Bai Shun stood up, climbed out of the window the way he came, and disappeared.

Zhong Linqi closed the window and suddenly saw a person sitting up on the bedside from the corner of his eye. He turned around in surprise: "I thought you wouldn't wake up so early."

Yu Shiqi leaned on the head of the bed, his face still a little pale, and said in a weak voice: "I just know now that I have been staying with the Master of Wangchuan Ferry for so long."

"I didn't reveal my identity before because I didn't want to cause you unnecessary anxiety."

"What happens after that?"

"After that..." Zhong Linqi smiled awkwardly, looked away from Yu Shiqi's face a little guiltily, and said without confidence: "Actually, you already know the reason."

Yu Shiqi endured the emotions surging in his heart and asked, "Are you really my father?"

"Hey... if... if Yi Ning doesn't... then... then that's probably it."

Yu Shiqi jumped up from the bed, got down to the ground, grabbed Zhong Linqi's collar, pushed him hard against the wall, and shouted angrily: "How dare you question my mother's loyalty!"

Zhong Linqi weakly defended: "I didn't mean that..."

"Mr. Zhong...why..." Yu Shiqi let go of his hand and took a step back. He looked at the man in front of him with complicated eyes, who was almost certainly his biological father. For a moment, he felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.

have.

"Um...what's your real name?" Zhong Linqi asked carefully.

Yu Shiqi pursed her lips and did not answer.

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Zhong Linqi scratched his hair awkwardly, "Take a good rest."

"I don't want to go to Wuyue with you." Yu Shiqi suddenly said.

"Why?"

"You still ask why?" Yu Shiqi sat back on the bed facing the wall angrily, "Why should I go to Wuyue to see your family reunited and happy? I don't want to see it!"

"I know you are angry with me." Zhong Linqi said helplessly, "I won't defend myself. I was wrong. I'm sorry."

"Of course I'm angry with you! All these years, you haven't even given me a title as my mother! What are you thinking? What were you thinking back then?"

Zhong Linqi slowly closed his eyes. He felt a little wronged, but he still had no intention of arguing with Yu Shiqi about right and wrong.

"Think about it, who am I and who is Yi Ning?" Zhong Linqi said sadly to Yu Shiqi, "It's not that I don't want to be with her, but we can't... The status I gave me is this

Is this thing really good for her?"

Yu Shiqi said stubbornly: "I don't care, you are so powerful...is there nothing you can do?"

"I will talk to you in detail about our affairs when I have the opportunity in the future." Zhong Linqi negotiated with him patiently, "Although I can't guarantee that you will be relieved about this matter after listening to it, I think that after understanding our past

After this experience, you can at least get some inspiration from our respective positions and understand a little bit..."

Zhong Linqi's humble attitude made Yu Shiqi slowly calm down from his annoyance. Reminiscent of how he defended himself in Bailihou Mansion, Yu Shiqi felt very embarrassed at this time no matter how much he didn't understand him.

It's hard to stay angry with him.

"Mr. Zhong, I really want to understand immediately what kind of person you are. I also hope that... all the dissatisfaction and hatred I feel towards you stem from my lack of understanding of you.

It's a misunderstanding." Yu Shiqi's voice started to cry as he spoke, and hot tears flowed down the corners of his eyes.

"Then are you willing to admit that I am your father?"

"That's right."

"That's good." He smiled with relief, "I will wait slowly. By the way, my current name is also a pseudonym, but... the pronunciation of my real name is very similar."

Yu Shiqi lay down again and wrapped himself in the quilt: "Don't think that I will tell you my real name if you tell me your real name."

"Ah? Can't this be exchanged?" Zhong Linqi said with a smile.

"You said it yourself, assassins don't negotiate terms."

"That's because... I thought it was more powerful to say it that way... Hey, why can't you tell me? I really want to know."

"If you want to know, ask my mother yourself." Yu Shiqi turned over and said she would no longer pay attention to him.

"Why……"
