Perhaps this was his true appearance. He became gloomy and fell into the darkness.
He had worn the mask for too long and forgot to take it off. He almost thought that he was really like that.
He had never been happy since he returned to the Lian family.
No one knew how he had lived for so many years.
To become an illegitimate child who was mocked and despised by everyone was worse than death.
Greya was even happier. “Look, this is what you should be like. You can do whatever you want. You could have helped me kill that old thing back then. If you don’t dare to attack now, why don’t I help you? I can guarantee that everything in the Lian family will be yours. No one can hinder you. As a repayment…”
Greya’s face darkened. “Don’t interfere with the Killing Alliance. You don’t have to worry about what I want to do.”
She did have the ability.
She could do it.
He closed his eyes and seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said slowly, “We can’t do anything right now. I haven’t gotten hold of some important documents from the old man. I will inform you when I find out where they are.”
After saying this, Lian Chi turned and walked out of the door.
From the shadows, Qi He walked out. He looked at Greya with a rare look of worry. “You know that he will burn the bridge after crossing it. He wants the entire Killing Alliance.”
“I know.”
Greya said softly, “I won’t let him have his way.”

On the surface, the world was peaceful.
As the New Year approached, people started to prepare the goods. Large red lanterns were hung around the Lookout Pavilion.
This was the first time in so many years that Su Cha truly experienced the feeling of the new year.
She used to live like an outsider in her so-called father’s house. Now that everything had improved, she felt much happier.
This year, she and Bo Muyi planned to spend the New Year with the Zong family while the old lady would return to the Ye family.
In the past, it was said that Bo Muyi was always alone at home during the New Year.
Perhaps that was what he meant when he said that he would not celebrate the New Year. He was still very busy, but everything was different this year.
While Su Cha was busy with embroidery, she did not forget anything else. The New Year was not just the new year. Soon after it, it was Bo Muyi’s birthday.
Yes, it was so strange.
However, there were thousands of people in the world. Some would celebrate their birthdays on such a special occasion.
However, when he was born, the fortune-teller said that this was a good day. They would be together forever and have a happy family. In the end, after his parents’ accident, he became quite conflicted about birthdays.
Even if it was not his birthday, it was the Lantern Festival. He found it ironic.
Hence, after he grew up, his birthday became no different from usual. He had never invited anyone else.
He had always been a loner.
When Su Cha first found out about this, her heart ached.
However, it would be different with her by his side in the future.
She wanted to officially give Bo Muyi a gift. Since she was good at embroidery, she naturally wanted to start from this aspect.
However, after thinking about it, she did not find anything suitable. The crafts were very big, and it was not appropriate to wear it for a long time. Other than that, the only thing she could do was to modify the clothes.
She was very good at this, but Bo Muyi’s habit regarding clothes was that he would not wear anything a second time. It was not appropriate to give such to him.
It was hard to imagine that he would hesitate to change his obsession with cleanliness for the sake of her gift.
