The Culprit

"Although your sister is unruly, less talented than you, and less composed than you, she is still my daughter. I won't let her die in vain. But there are more important things to do now, so why rush things?"

"I will definitely avenge her, and those people from the East Mountain Sect as well. I just don't have time to deal with them right now. Why do you doubt me like this?"

Seeing the angry City Lord Guo, Shi Yun'er quickly apologized.

"Mother, I knew you would seek revenge, I knew it. I was just too angry and impulsive. Please forgive me, Mother."

As they spoke, Shi Yun'er walked over, knelt down, and buried her face in the other person's knees, sobbing uncontrollably, but her eyes remained calm, though City Lord Guo could not see it from his perspective.

Shi Yun'er loves everything, but City Lord Guo is very indifferent; even towards his own daughter, he can weigh the pros and cons.

The reason she didn't send anyone to bring Guo Ling'er back was to win over the unfaithful man, namely the Grand Elder of the East Mountain Sect. Shi Yun'er knew this very well, but she couldn't say it. However, she felt that it was a good thing for Guo Ling'er to stay there, since she was unhappy in the City Lord's Mansion.

If Shi Yun'er were to say who she values most, it would definitely be Guo Ling'er. Others might not like her, but she thinks she's quite good. After all, she's her own sister, and no matter how you look at her, there's nothing wrong with her. It's just that others don't understand Guo Ling'er and don't know how to appreciate her.

Even City Lord Guo, who only uses his daughter, is no exception. Guo Ling'er is no different. She is even worse than the Grand Elder of the East Mountain Sect. Although he has never admitted it, she has heard that he treats Guo Ling'er very well.

It seems that Guo Ling'er was only able to leave alive thanks to the other party's efforts.

She just doesn't know who killed her, and that will always be Shi Yun'er's pain.

But she could eliminate all those who would cause Shi Yun'er to lose her backer; Su Zhan was the first. However, she couldn't do it herself and could only rely on City Lord Guo.

Even if City Lord Guo to use Su Zhan first, she had to endure it and use him to avenge Guo Ling'er.

"Of course I'll forgive you, because you're my favorite daughter."

"Don't worry, I will avenge your sister. If your father were still alive, I would also eliminate him. What's the point of living if you can't even protect your own daughter? It's ridiculous."

City Lord Guo said grimly.

Actually, she was hoping that Guo Ling'er could win over the Grand Elder of the East Mountain Sect.

Otherwise, why would she reveal what their father does?

Unfortunately, not only did it fail, but it also resulted in the loss of a daughter.

Even if Guo Ling'er is a good-for-nothing, she is still her daughter. Just this identity is very valuable. Anyone who dares to harm her daughter, or is related to Guo Ling'er's death, will not be let off the hook.

Su Zhan could indeed be the first, but he could also certainly be exploited.

Su Zhan is very powerful and skilled in setting up formations; these two qualities are already well worth utilizing.

"He didn't suspect you, did he?"

"City Lord Guo asked."

Shi Yun'er shook her head.

"There shouldn't be any."

"Although he was testing me, since Linger and I look very similar, I didn't give myself away, and he didn't show any suspicion."

"He's probably just testing the waters; there's nothing to worry about."

"Besides, the identity I told Su Zhan was true."

She was indeed Shi Yun'er in public; that was her identity all along. An orphan with great talent, she became the Senior Sister of the Silent Sect's leader. Few people didn't know her as Shi Yun'er.
