Chapter 1773: Identity!

Similarly, in a secret courtyard on the outskirts of the capital, a man wearing a ghost mask sat at a stone table in the courtyard. In front of him, a man in black and a man in red were also kneeling. The two of them had their heads lowered as if they were reporting the situation to him.
Suddenly, one of the black-robed men said,” Cult Master, the red-faced Hall Master has sent someone over to inquire again. He said that he wanted to see Master. Master, do you want to see him?”
Although the man was wearing a ghost mask and his expression could not be seen, one could clearly see two sharp rays of light shooting out from the holes in the mask.
His cold voice was filled with disdain as he said,” Hmph, a small branch hall master, and I am a dignified sect master. Do you think he can meet me just because he wants to?”
The man in black hesitated for a moment and said,” But Cult Master, the other party insists on meeting you. He even said that he could help our Cult’s great plan for generations to come. He hopes that Cult Master can meet him!”
Listening to the report of the man in black, the masked man tapped the table with one hand and looked into the distance with his sharp eyes.
Then, he said,” In that case, I’m willing to meet him!”
The man in black replied,” Yes!”
The masked man glanced at them and instructed sternly,” Left and Right Guardians, Princess Lin Yuelan and General Jiang Zhen are about to get married. You have to keep a close eye on them and not allow anyone to cause trouble. Do you understand? Otherwise, it will be your dereliction of duty. I will definitely not let you off!”
The Left Guardian asked hesitantly,” May I ask why, Sect Master? Aren’t the Princess of Guguo and General Jiang Zhennan the biggest obstacle to the revival of the Yan Dynasty?”
The masked man’s sharp eyes glared at him, and he continued,” Just because the two of them saved my life!”
Hearing the Sect Master’s words, the Left Protector and the Right Protector looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
“Why? Do you have any objections?” Seeing the two of them exchange glances, the Sect Master’s cold voice sounded again,” Perhaps you think that my life is not worth that much?”
“This subordinate does not dare!” When the Left and Right guardians heard this, their expressions instantly changed.
“In that case, carry out my orders well. You may leave!” The masked man ordered sternly.
“Yes, sir!”
After the left and right guardians left, another person appeared in front of him.
If Lin Yuelan and the others had been here, they would definitely have recognized this person. This person was none other than Lou Ye.
He walked in front of Liu Yichen and said,” Young Master, Wen Yujing sent a signal again.”
Liu Yichen took off his mask and frowned. He looked confused.” Wen Yujing?” Lou Ye looked at his young master and knew that he had obviously forgotten about Wen Yujing.
Lou Ye explained,” It’s Wen Yujing who saved the young master by accident
once. Then, the young master agreed to fulfil three of her requests at any time. She’s also Jiang Yunfengs stepwife from the Zhengguo Duke’s House!” Liu Yichen only remembered this when Lou Ye reminded him.
When Wen Yujing was still the wife of Zhengguo Duke, she had made three requests to him.
The first was to kill the former butler of the Duke’s estate, Jiang Ping.
The second was to find out where Jiang Zhennan had been hiding for the past six months.
Third, was Jiang Zhennan saved by Miracle Doctor Wu Yazi? If so, kill Miracle Doctor Wu Yazi for her!
He didn’t agree at that time.
However, now, he had already fulfilled Wen Yujings all three requests. Why did Wen Yujing suddenly come looking for him?
He had heard that Wen Yujing and her daughter were living a miserable life. They were beaten and scolded every day.
They deserved it.
Liu Yichen furrowed his brows and was slightly displeased. He said coldly,”
She has already used up the three requests 1 promised her. Ignore her!”
Lou Ye said,” Then, Young Master, you have to go and take a look. Wen Yujing didn’t look for you to make a request. She seems to have some important information and wants to sell it to Yama Pavilion.’
Liu Yichen thought about it and said,” Alright, you can arrange this!”
Lou Ye replied,” Yes!”
In the Wen family’s woodshed, Wen Yujing and Jiang Wen were sitting on the dirty grass.
The two of them were not as glamorous as they were two years ago. Instead, they were worse than country women. Their clothes and hair were messy, their faces were sallow and haggard, and their eyes were dull.
They had been so smug in the Wen family in the past, but now, they were living a miserable life. They were not even comparable to the lowest of the lowly.
These low-class people would have food to eat, money to get, and a place to rest after work.
However, if the mother and daughter wanted to eat, they had to work. Moreover, they were given work that no one was willing to do, such as pouring faeces and fetching water.
After finishing the work, they would not be able to eat their fill. As for the place to sleep, they could sleep in the woodshed. They were not even willing to give them a blanket.
The mother and daughter wanted to have a backbone and leave the Wen Family.
But where could the mother and daughter go?
They knew very well that the people they had offended were Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan. In order not to offend these two, no one in the entire capital would be willing to take them in except for the imperial palace.
Therefore, they had to grit their teeth and persevere no matter how hard it was for them to stay with the Wen Family.
They had been waiting for a chance to turn the tables.
Jiang Wen asked her mother anxiously,” How is it? Did Yama Pavillion agree?” Wen Yujing said calmly,” He said that he would reply to me soon.”
“Then how much longer do we have to wait?” Jiang Wen said sharply,” I’ve had enough of this kind of life. You said that if we could get a large sum of money this time, we would be able to live a good life in the future. Mother, I don’t want to wait any longer.”
In two years, the mother and daughter, who were so close, seemed to be enemies. They hated each other, but the two of them had to rely on each other.
This time, both mother and daughter hoped to get that sum of money.
Wen Yujing stared at Jiang Wen coldly and said coldly,” I’ve waited for so long. I don’t mind waiting a little longer.”
Jiang Wen was speechless.
Just as the mother and daughter were quarrelling, a masked man dressed in black suddenly appeared in the woodshed.
“Ah, who are you?” The mother and daughter were shocked when they saw the man in their room.
The masked man in black glanced at the mother and daughter with his sharp eyes. His lips curled up slightly, and his cold voice sounded in the firewood room.
He said coldly,” Didn’t you say you were looking for Yama Pavillion? Why don’t you recognize me now that I’m in front of you?”
When the mother and daughter heard this, they thought to themselves,
‘You’re so elusive. How can we know you?’
The masked man waited for their response and asked again,” Tell me.. Why are you looking for my Yama Pavilion this time?”
