Nine Gate.

In the middle of the quiet courtyard…

The young girl stood in front of the window, stretched out her fingers, and allowed a flying bird to land on her fingertips.

She then withdrew her hand and turned to the servant, who was serving her smilingly.

“Give the menu I want today to the kitchen.”

“Yes, Young Lady.”

The servant led the order and retreated.

Once all the servants left, the smile on the young girl"s face suddenly disappeared. She grabbed the bird"s beak and pulled out a slip of paper from its mouth.

The slip of paper was very thin and long, and it was stained with the bird"s saliva.

The young girl"s face changed dramatically after she saw what was written on the white paper.

“In a few days, make sure that the people of Nine Gate go to Spirit Beast Mountain! If you fail to do so, you will be responsible for the consequences!”

This handwriting was too familiar to the young girl, and she lowered her gaze to cover the hatred in her eyes.

But after hearing the sound of footsteps outside the door, she thought no more. A flame appeared from her palm, and she quickly burnt the note and cleaned the ashes.

Creak!

The door of the room was pushed open.

Hui Yan walked in through the door smilingly. He glanced at the bird in the young girl"s hand and did not react to it.

“You"er, how are you today?”

Nan Luo smiled faintly. “Father, I"m fine. You don"t have to worry about me.”

“Good…” Hui Yan touched her head as he smiled warmly. “Can you… Tell Father who kidnapped you?”

Nan Luo panicked a little. She lowered her head and looked somewhat sad.

Hui Yan"s heart ached, and he could not bear to press on again.

“It"s fine if you don"t want to say it. I will go and find out by myself. No one can bully my daughter.”

At that moment, Hui Yan"s words. .h.i.t Nan Luo"s heart hard.

She raised her head, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“Yu"er, what"s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want a physician to take a look?”

Nan Luo wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and lowered her head.

“I"m fine. I"ll be fine after resting for a while.”

‘How great would it be if… Hui Yan is my father… ‘

No one had cared about her… Except Suyi…

Even though Suyi said nothing, she still saved her from her mother"s punishment.

But then…

Why did Suyi suddenly hate her?

Nan Luo bit her lip hard, sobbing in her heart.

If only there were no Feng Ruqing…

Suyi would not have misunderstood her, and she would not have suffered like today…

However, compared to Feng Ruqing…

The person she wanted to destroy more than anything else was Nan Fang!

“Father…” Nan Luo raised her head. “It"s not that I don"t want to talk about it… Actually, I don"t remember what happened to me. But… I remember a place called… Spirit Beast Mountain?”

‘Spirit Beast Mountain?"

Hui Yan fell silent. He had heard about the strange thing that happened in Spirit Beast Mountain this past few days.

However, he was busy with her daughter and had no time to care about others.

‘Could it be that… The person who kidnapped You"er has something to do with Spirit Beast Mountain?"

Hui Yan looked down. “It looks like I have to send my Nine Gate to Spirit Beast Mountain!”
