Within the main city of the Sīnan clan.
Upon learning that the sky lantern of Zinanzheng had been shattered, the entire household was thrown into chaos.
While the head of the family, Si Nan Jiao Yang, is still in seclusion, Si Nan has been acting as the de facto head of the family recently.
He got into trouble, it’s something the entire Sennan clan couldn’t accept and hadn’t expected.
“Elder brother, where did you go today!? Where did you go!?”
Si Nanzheng’s younger brother, the third-generation direct descendant Si Nuan, had bloodshot eyes and was furious in the main hall. He kept slamming his fists on the table.
The many subordinates who had gathered there dared not speak, their faces only paling with fear.
“Lord Sīnan, Lord Sīnan recently…”
Si Nanzheng’s original trusted aides looked at each other, then stepped forward and told everything about Fang Yu and the branch concerning Daitong Ancient City.
That means he went to the capital city today and met with Yu Tianhai, who is in charge of the city guards?
Nan Ming, Si Nan’s elder brother, asked in a deep voice.
“Yes, yes,” a confidant replied.
“Immediately dispatch my men to the royal guardhouse and find out what happened! No matter what, we at least need to know! Whether he’s alive or dead, we must see him!” Si Nanming’s forehead was creased with anger as he said.
“Furthermore, announce to the entire family, enter a state of emergency. All direct descendants return to the clan immediately. Also…this matter must not be spread! We will investigate and clarify once we have more information!” Si Nanming ordered again.
Soon, the Si Nan clan sent out a team of over a hundred men, led by Si Nan Yuan, to head for the capital.
This situation is rare.
The guards at the main gate of the King City were flustered and stopped the Nan Yuan army directly.
“Where is Tianhai? Is my brother, Sannan Zheng, with him? Tell me!” Sannan Yuan was a bit out of his mind, grabbing the guard captain and asking.
“At, At leads…I, I don’t know…” the guard captain replied, his face paling.
“You don’t know? How could you not know?!” Si Nanyuan threw the guard captain to the ground as if venting his anger.
“Bang!”
A deafening explosion echoed across the ground, and the guard captain spat out a mouthful of blood.
……
In Tianzhong Garden.
Si Nanhu had finally recovered some of his composure and returned to the group of young nobles, continuing his conversation and laughter.
But at that moment, his face suddenly changed. He raised his hand, and a glowing piece of jade appeared in his palm.
Sī Nán Hǔ crushed the jade into pieces.
And then, a voice was heard.
Sī Nán Hǔ slammed his fist on the table and stood up abruptly.
All the young nobles at his table were startled by his action and turned to look at him.
Si Nanhu’s eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead.
“Tiger Shao, what’s wrong?”
“Yeah, why are you so jumpy? What’s going on?”
“I was startled by you…”
A multitude of men and women at the table spoke up, chattering excitedly.
Si Nanhu didn’t speak, but looked towards the place where Fang Yu and Han Miaoyi had left before.
He just received the message…his uncle Sinnan’s sky lantern was broken!
Sī Nán Míng demanded that these loyalists return to the clan immediately!
What does a broken sky lantern mean?
It’s very likely that Sīnán… is already dead!
And the sky lantern plaque was shattered, it had been a while.
Uncle Er… He was clearly in front of him just now, and even scolded him!
This, this…
Just now that second uncle, isn’t he a real second uncle!?
An accident couldn’t possibly happen in Tianzhong Garden, and Uncle Er’s character…
Sinan Hu’s heart skipped a beat.
He was almost certain that the person who had just appeared before him was not the real Si Nanzheng!
Then, with Sī Nánzhèng already deceased, who would impersonate him and enter Tiānzhōngyuán?
Catch the killer of Si Nanzheng!
Si Nanhu trembled all over, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
Today…he really ran into every bad thing imaginable.
“What on earth happened, Tiger?” The crowd around him looked at him with puzzled expressions.
This matter must not be spread.
Si Nanhu did not speak, and immediately retreated, walking toward a deserted corner.
At the same time, he took out another jade pendant and informed the elders at home.
What exactly happened to Si Nan? He had no idea!
But now, he has to report these things to the family!

Fang Yu and Han Miao Yi kept walking forward.
The two conversed, and Han Miao Yi let out a light chuckle from time to time.
Obviously, she was in a good mood.
“Lord Sinan, I didn’t expect you to have such a humorous personality.” Han Miaoyin said, looking at the ‘Sinan Zheng’ in front of her.
“Is that so?” Fang Yu asked, “I didn’t notice.”
In previous conversations, Han Miao Yi has essentially treated Si Nan’s clan as an ally, disclosing many details of the rebellion plan.
Fang Yu just kept listening and nodding in agreement.
“With such an enlightened patriarch as you, the Si Nan clan is sure to have a brighter future.” Han Miaoyi added.
“Actually, I’ve had a question for you.” Fang Yu looked at Han Miaoyi, his eyes narrowing slightly.
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask, Sir Nan. We are allies now,” Han Miao’yi smiled gently.
“Are you… a member of the Celestial Clan?” Fang Yu stared at Han Miao Yi and asked.
Upon hearing this question, a hint of panic flashed across Han Miao’s face.
Then, she forced a smile and retorted, “Lord Sisun, how could you say such a thing? How could I possibly not be from the Celestial Clan?”
“Is that so?” Fang Yu looked at the lines on Han Miaoyi’s face and neck, and said, “These lines of yours…aren’t quite normal.”
Han Miao Yi’s expression had clearly changed.
She looked at Fang Yu and took a step back.
……
“Tian Zhongyuan, that bastard who disguised himself as an older brother, is in Tian Zhongyuan! Let’s go there now!” Si Nan Yuan led a large group of subordinates into the royal city.
In fact, their actions have already violated the rules of the royal city.
But at this moment, Si Nan was unable to hear anything.
He just wants to find Si Nanzheng and he only wants to dismember the murderer into a thousand pieces!
“Whoosh…”
A large group of Si Nan clan members quickly crossed the streets and arrived at Tian Zhong Garden.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Tianzhong Garden, one could see that the celebration was in full swing. The guards stationed there were noticeably numerous and formidable.
Sinnan was stopped.
“The compass inside is fake, it’s a disguise! I want to see him! I want to kill him!” Sinan’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared.
At the sound of these words, the many guards manning the gate’s faces changed.
Wasn’t the Si Nan who entered the garden before a fake?!
If that were true, it would be a huge deal!
The guards immediately panicked and contacted the security forces within Tianzhong Garden.
……
Tiānzhōngyuán, zhúlín shēndù.
Seeing Han Miaoyin take a step back, Fang Yu took a step forward, a smile on his face, and said, “You are indeed not from the Celestial Clan.”
Han Miao Yi’s face was a little pale, she looked at Fang Yu who walked forward, bit her lip, and said, “Sir Nan, I don’t know why you…”
Before she could finish speaking, the ring on her left middle finger suddenly flashed.
Han Miaoyyi was taken aback for a moment, and then she heard a voice laced with urgency.
Her face changed immediately!
Hanyan raised her eyes to look at Fang Yu, her pupils widening in shock as she exclaimed, “You… you’re not Sī Nánzhēng!”
