On the quiet top of a mountain, two people, one beast and three figures stood quietly.

Qin Shuangyan took off the covered black veil, and the breeze in the night blew gently, lifting her hair.

She looked into the distance, and there was no longer the charming look of the past in her eyes, but instead...there was a kind of emptiness.

Lu Yang looked at her quietly, looking at the woman standing in the wind, feeling that the pretended strong back was full of loneliness that could not be told to outsiders.

He didn't know why Qin Shuangyan suddenly turned around while returning to the camp, but he still followed.

The only thing he could do at this moment was perhaps to be by her side.

The silence on the top of the mountain lasted for a long time, and Qin Shuangyan finally turned around and bowed to Lu Yang: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your help tonight."

He was still kind of polite words, so cold that he seemed to have no trace of human warmth.

With the moonlight on her back, Lu Yang couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

She hid her true self in the shadow again.

Lu Yang nodded with a smile and said nothing.

"Mr. Lu doesn't blame Shuangyan?"

Qin Shuangyan asked with a smile: "Shuangyan did not inform the purpose of the action in advance. Although the purpose has been achieved, she dragged Mr. Lu, who was unaware of it..."

"Since I didn't ask at the beginning, it means I chose to believe you. No matter what you are going to do, I will definitely help you achieve it from the perspective of my friend." Lu Yang replied with a smile.

"friend?……"

Qin Shuangyan's heart moved slightly, and the strange color in her eyes flashed by, and in the blink of an eye he returned to her kind and unhuman expression.

"If it were just for friends, Mr. Lu's sacrifice would be too much..."

As he spoke, Qin Shuangyan's tone became playful: "Killing the head of the Duanmu family is a complete act of making enemies with the Duanmu family. From now on, we will be the mortal enemies of the Duanmu family."

Lu Yang smiled back and said, "I originally had an irreconcilable hatred with the Duanmu family, and it would be no different to have an extra hatred."

Qin Shuangyan also laughed when she heard this.

The two of them were silent again.

After a while, Qin Shuangyan turned her eyes to the distance before breaking the silence and said, "I killed Duanmu Hongtu to avenge my father."

Lu Yang's face did not change at all.

Qin Shuangyan still looked at the forest in the distance: "My father is Duanmu Hongtu's youngest brother... In short, Duanmu Hongtu is still my uncle."

"It's just that my father doesn't have the cultivation talent like Duanmu Hongtu. In the Duanmu family, he was just an ordinary member, not even an elder."

Qin Shuangyan recalled the details learned from her mother: "Originally, in everyone's eyes, my father would have been in this ordinary life, even my father himself thought so, until one day later, he got my mother's favor..."

"Mother said that she could not have thought that she would fall in love with an incompetent man, but although her father was not strong, he still spared no effort to help her weak kind heart touched her..." Naidanba Chinese website

Thinking of the happy expression of his mother when she mentioned her father, Qin Shuangyan also rarely showed a sincere smile on her face.

She continued: "Later, my mother married her father despite her family's opposition. Because of the power of her mother's family, her father's status in the Duanmu family rose."

Speaking of this, Qin Shuangyan paused and added: "By the way, my mother was the eldest daughter of the former minister of the regent of the government, and it was during the Great Qi Dynasty."

"It is precisely because... when the Duanmu family was preparing to rebel, my father was excluded. The regent minister has always been loyal to the royal family."

Qin Shuangyan seemed to sigh: "Short after I was born, the Duanmu family joined forces with two other major families to rebel. In order to prevent the news from leaking, they purged members of the family who have a tendency toward the royal family. My father is one of them..."

As he said that, Qin Shuangyan glanced at Lu Yang, but the black robe covered most of his face, and Qin Shuangyan could not see anything.

"In order to seize the rule of this area, the Duanmu family even did not hesitate to attack internal members!"

Qin Shuangyan clenched her fists and her voice became angry: "They used the excuse to transfer my father to the outside world, but killed him in the middle... and lied that it was the bandits' work... Humph! With the Duanmu family's power in the Great Qi Dynasty at that time, where did any bandits dare to attack them? It was clearly a collusion between the Duanmu family and the bandits, and even those bandits were pretending!"

Lu Yang remembered that he had read these things in the Duanmu family's self-deceiving family history, but it was a version beautified by the Duanmu family, which was very different from Qin Shuangyan's statement.

"My mother was born into an official family after all. She realized that something was wrong at that time, so she found an excuse to leave the Duanmu family."

Qin Shuangyan continued: "But she didn't know the wolf ambitions of the Duanmu family at that time. She just thought that someone in the family killed her father in order to seize power, so she just went to a place where no one knew her and raised me..."

Without Qin Shuangyan's words, Lu Yang could already roughly guess what happened later.

The Duanmu family took the lead in launching a rebellion between the three families, and Qin Shuangyan's mother could also connect the whole story. Only after she raised Qin Shuangyan, did she tell Qin Shuangyan all this.

Later, Qin Shuangyan's mother died of illness and she had no worries, so she traveled far away from home just to save capital and avenge the Duanmu family.

"You can be appreciated by Wansheng Chamber of Commerce and become the chief manager under one person, because of this level of identity, right?" Lu Yang asked.

Qin Shuangyan nodded and smiled strangely: "Otherwise, how could the Wansheng Chamber of Commerce trust a person of unknown origin so easily?"

Lu Yang nodded silently.

Qin Shuangyan said again: "Wansheng Chamber of Commerce will train me. To put it bluntly, it is also a gambling, or an investment move... Now I have become the eighth son of the Duanmu family. They use my first name to open up the business road and have also gained a lot of benefits..."

After Qin Shuangyan entered the Duanmu family, she did not care about the Wansheng Chamber of Commerce anymore. However, in the eyes of outsiders, the Wansheng Chamber of Commerce had a backer like the Duanmu family, so when it started a business, it would naturally be unfavorable.

"However, I did learn a lot from the Wansheng Chamber of Commerce..."

Qin Shuangyan's expression was a little complicated when she said this.

In addition to her father's murder, she developed her current personality. In addition to being accustomed to business voices since childhood, she became accustomed to intrigues, and became distrustful and trusted only for the benefit of others.

"So, you returned to the Duanmu family to avenge your father?" Lu Yang asked.

"Um……"

Qin Shuangyan responded, but there seemed to be a sense of emptiness in her words: "Dunmu Hongtu was the one who directly ordered the killing of my father back then... But after all, it was the entire Duanmu family who gave him this power, and what he implemented was only the will of the Duanmu family..."
