Without the slightest hesitation, Dongfang Yanran directly opened the package. She wasn’t afraid of this man harming her at all, because if he had wanted to hurt her, she would have died more than once by now.
“This was something she entrusted to me. At that time, she was being hunted down, so she couldn’t come see you…”
As Situ Yonghui murmured these words, as if lost in memories, his brows instinctively furrowed at the thought of that disagreeable faction.
Seeing what was inside the package, Dongfang Yanran was momentarily stunned. Soon after, tears welled up in her eyes—tears brimming with killing intent. At this moment, the only thought in her mind was revenge.
“Now you should understand why I didn’t want to harm you—it wasn’t just because you’re Yufan’s woman…”
She nodded numbly. After seeing what was inside the package, if she still didn’t understand, she would truly be too foolish. It seemed that all this time, she had been used by others.
“I’m sorry… I…”
Thinking about how she had attacked this man earlier, Dongfang Yanran felt a wave of fear. No matter the outcome, it was something she never wanted to see again. And thinking of Xiao Yufan, she suddenly felt a surge of guilt.
“If my husband finds out about this, would he forgive me? Probably not…”
Dongfang Yanran’s lips curved into a bitter smile. She had approached this man originally for revenge, but more importantly, she had genuinely fallen in love with him little by little. If this incident drove them apart, perhaps she wouldn’t even forgive herself.
“There were things you didn’t know, so no one will blame you. You should be grateful that you didn’t truly take advantage of him…”
Situ Yonghui’s voice carried a tone of reassurance. As a daughter-in-law, she had always met his approval for various reasons, and he believed that she was also a significant support to Xiao Yufan.
Opening her mouth as if to say something more, Dongfang Yanran swallowed her words instead. Though many doubts remained, she was beginning to understand much more now.
“You don’t have to worry—Yufan won’t find out about this. Even if he does in the future, he definitely won’t blame you. Just handle the Assassin Alliance as you wish; leave those old men to me.”
Seeing through Dongfang Yanran’s thoughts, Situ Yonghui smiled gently, his imposing aura receding accordingly.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yanran was momentarily stunned but didn’t refuse. In a way, this man was no longer her enemy, but rather the father of the man she loved.
What surprised her, however, was the immense pressure exuding from this man. Even her master at his peak couldn’t match it. She was now certain that her master’s death had nothing to do with him.
“The Assassin Alliance was founded by her, and you were her most outstanding disciple. Therefore, you must reclaim what is rightfully yours; otherwise, you’d be letting her down!”
Before Dongfang Yanran could speak, Situ Yonghui continued. Although the existence of the Assassin Alliance posed no threat to him, how could he allow such a force, potentially dangerous to Xiao Yufan, to fall into someone else’s hands?
On the contrary, if Dongfang Yanran could regain control of the Assassin Alliance, it would definitely be a significant help to Xiao Yufan. Moreover, he firmly believed that Dongfang Yanran had the capability to do so…
