Chapter 720 Rong Yun’s Partiality 8

The first person Su Luo saw as she stepped out of the Golden Chariot Hall was Beichen Ying.

The child's hair was messy and disheveled, looking worn and weary, but his eyes were bright and full of spirit.

He leaned against a red pillar adorned with dragon and phoenix carvings, arms crossed, his deep eyes smiling as he watched Su Luo.

Su Luo smiled and patted his shoulder, "You came too late. Otherwise, there would have been a good show to watch. It's a pity."

Beichen Ying tightened his grip on the purple crystal in his hand, placing it behind him, a trace of emotion in his expression, "That is truly a pity."

From an angle Su Luo couldn't see, a hint of weariness flashed through his eyes.

He had traveled day and night for the past few days, finally making a round trip between Beichen Palace and Dongling Imperial Capital.

Fearing an ambush by the Yaochi Li family, he even notified Lan Xuan and Anye Ming, asking them to impersonate him to divert the enemy's experts.

Then he rushed to the imperial palace, originally intending to go straight in, but for some inexplicable reason, he flew to the rooftop to observe.

He had calculated everything, except that Luo Yatou would actually win the first round by herself.

This time, he still couldn't help her.

Su Manor.

The news that Su Luo and the Yaochi Fairy had tied in the first round spread very quickly.

Su Zian, who had been paying close attention, naturally learned the result immediately.

The moment he heard the news, he was instantly ecstatic!

He truly hadn't expected that the brat would be so promising, actually able to pass the round alongside the Yaochi Fairy.

Even if it was pure luck, so what? Luck is also part of strength.

Su Zian was waiting for Su Luo to return so he could praise her profusely and make up for the years of missing father-daughter affection.

Su Zian couldn't help but secretly regret.

He had truly not been good enough to Su Luo over the years, often neglecting her among his children, which led to their estranged relationship.

But it didn't matter. From now on, he would treat that girl as the apple of his eye, giving her all his love and affection. He believed their father-daughter relationship would improve by leaps and bounds.

Just as Su Zian was becoming happier and more excited the more he thought about it, a letter suddenly shot in through the window.

Su Zian's hand was resting on the desk at that moment, and the dagger with the envelope attached was inserted precisely between his fingers!

How powerful was the person who shot that dagger, and how precise was their control?

One must know that Su Zian was a fifth-rank expert.

Su Zian looked at the letter, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes. He chased out to look around but found that the other party had already disappeared.

That's right. Someone who could shoot a dagger into Su Zian's finger gap without him knowing must be much stronger than Su Zian. How could he be caught?

Even if Su Zian caught him, what could he do?

Understanding this, Su Zian resolutely returned to the hall, his eyes narrowing dangerously as he looked at the mysteriously appearing envelope.

He had a very bad feeling.

Night, as black as ink.

Su Zian locked himself in his study.

The doors and windows were tightly shut, the surroundings pitch black, so dark he couldn't see his hand.

Su Zian's expression was obscured in the darkness, impossible for anyone to see clearly.

At this moment, what he held in his hand was the letter from the afternoon. It was obvious that the wax seal had already been broken.

Su Zian unfolded the letter, read it carefully again, and finally angrily slammed it onto the table!

It was written clearly.

Su Luo was not his, Su Zian's, daughter.
