Chapter 744 - Just Say the Word and I’ll Do It (1/2)

She told Mobai that she was the reincarnation of Shen Qingdai’s soul, but she didn’t tell him about the incident with the dumplings, because she knew his character. If he ever found out, he would kill Xi Jin and perhaps annihilate Dongshu Nation, no matter what.

Xi Lin nodded. She slowly stood up by holding onto a pillar. Then, she turned around and looked at the unfamiliar face before her and found it hard to speak. It seemed like she couldn’t say anything else other than sorry.

“Dai’er, I will advise Imperial Brother not to marry Shen Yunya.” Additionally, she must also kill Jiang Ying and Shen Yunya to avenge Dai’er, no matter what.

As for Dai’er’s identity, she could only conceal it and say sorry.

Feng Tianlan nodded and said, “Sister Lin, there’s one more thing I want you to help investigate.”

“Just say the word and I’ll do it.” Come hell or high water.

“I want you to investigate the deaths of my father and mother. Back then, they left with the emperor and then came back dead.”

After listening to Feng Tianlan, Xi Lin looked at her in shock and asked, “What happened?”

Recalling how she’d found out about this from Shen Yunya before her death, Feng Tianlan couldn’t help but feel hate well up in her heart. She said, “My father and mother also died under tragic circumstances. My uncle Shen Bokang was an accomplice. Because I was still young at the time, I was unaware of many things. I want you to see if you can find out anything from the emperor.”

“Okay.” Xi Lin’s face paled. She’d never thought that there was so much more to what had happened. Shen Bokang had always seemed so kind and calm. But now…

How many layers had to be peeled back from someone’s heart before one saw the dark viciousness inside it?

“Sister Lin, don’t call me Dai’er again. Just call me Tianlan. But I have no plans to restore my identity as a woman for the time being. If anything comes up, just go to Bailan Alliance to look for me.”
