After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 160: The Shattered Jade Pendant

Unexpectedly, General Su reprimanded them immediately upon hearing this.

None of them expected General Su to be so furious.

After all, General Su rarely gets angry, but now he is so angry.

"I only want to tell you that you should keep these matters to yourselves. If you speak them out and they are overheard by someone with ulterior motives, and then reach His Majesty's ears, His Majesty will inform the princess, and the princess will be deterred from punishing that person."

They all said they would definitely keep General Su's words in mind.

In the end, everyone dispersed.

Gan Luo asked Lin Fengmian to go to the market to buy him osmanthus cake. Lin Fengmian agreed and went to a pastry shop in the market. This was a pastry shop that Gan Luo often went to, so it seemed that Gan Luo liked this pastry.

Unexpectedly, after buying the pastries and just about to return to the princess's residence, Lin Fengmian suddenly felt as if someone was watching him all along, which surprised him for a moment.

He had no idea who was watching him. In the end, Lin Fengmian decided to lead the person to an open space, since there were too many ordinary people there.

Upon arriving at an open space, Lin Fengmian shouted, "Why are you sneaking around here? What do you mean by this? If you've got the guts, come out and have a fair fight!"

Unexpectedly, several people appeared in front of Lin Fengmian. These people were dressed in black, wore masks, and, more importantly, exuded a strong killing intent.

They attacked Lin Fengmian here, and Lin Fengmian took out his weapon: "Who are you? What is your purpose here?"

Lin Fengmian questioned them, but they didn't answer him at all.

Lin Fengmian felt a headache at that moment.

One of them noticed the black jade pendant hanging from Lin Fengmian's waist and was slightly surprised for a moment. He then gestured for the people around him to look, and they were surprised to find that Lin Fengmian did indeed wear a black jade pendant on his waist.

"What's the deal with that jade pendant around your waist?"

The leader was questioning Lin Fengmian, but Lin Fengmian didn't intend to reply and launched another attack. However, the leader didn't harm Lin Fengmian and remained on the defensive.

"Where this jade pendant came from is none of your business. Who are you? What is your purpose here? If you do not speak, today will be your death anniversary."

Lin Fengmian thrust his sword directly at them.

Unexpectedly, the people around him exchanged glances and instantly understood what was happening. They then turned and ran away, leaving Lin Fengmian standing there in a daze.

Lin Fengmian was truly puzzled that they would ask about this matter here and then run away like this.

Once the group of men in black had reached a safe place, they discussed the matter there.

"It's surprising that Lin Fengmian has the Ink Shattered Jade Pendant in his possession. This Ink Shattered Jade Pendant is owned by the royal family, and many years ago, no one survived it."

Then someone else told this person that although no one survived, there might be something special. However, this was rejected, and the final conclusion was that Lin Fengmian just happened to have the jade pendant.

Afterwards, Lin Fengmian returned to the princess's residence. Gan Luo was surprised to see Lin Fengmian with an injured arm.

Gan Luo walked up to Lin Fengmian and looked him up and down.

"I would like to ask you, why is your arm injured?"

“Princess, there’s no need to worry too much. We just met some people on the way and had a fight with them.”

Gan Luo frowned and pulled Lin Fengmian into the inner room, telling Lin Fengmian to take off his clothes. Lin Fengmian was startled at that moment and then remembered that what General Su had said earlier was not appropriate.

Lin Fengmian then intended to refuse, but unexpectedly he was scolded by Gan Luo.

“Your Highness is my bodyguard. I am here to apply medicine on behalf of my bodyguards. Is there anything inappropriate about this?”

Listening to what Gan Luo said, Lin Fengmian felt that Gan Luo's words made sense, and he sighed inwardly.

Even now, it's too late to refuse, so Lin Fengmian had no choice but to rip off his clothes. When Lin Fengmian's arm was exposed, it turned out that the bone was injured, yet Lin Fengmian didn't feel any pain.

Then Gan Luo brought the medicine, and he gave it to Lin Fengmian, sprinkling it all over his body. Lin Fengmian frowned.

"Didn't you just say it didn't hurt? Why are you frowning now?"

Gan Luo increased the dosage of the medicine, and Lin Fengmian revealed a mask of pain.

"Tell me what exactly is going on here, my patience is running out."

Ultimately, having no other choice, Lin Fengmian had to tell Gan Luo the whole story.

Gan Luo immediately sent people to investigate.

He believed there would definitely be clues, and more importantly, why was he targeting Lin Fengmian?

Lin Fengmian was just a lowly bodyguard, yet they were dealing with her here, which truly surprised her.

Gan Luo sent Yuan Zheng to this place, and eventually found out that there was a jade pendant there. The jade pendant had a character engraved on it, and the character engraved on it was the character Lin. He then asked Lin Fengmian to take out the jade pendant from his waist. After comparing it with the pendant, they found that it had a similar design.

Gan Luo looked up at Lin Fengmian and asked if he had any family members, but Lin Fengmian insisted that he did not.

This surprised Gan Luo, who turned her gaze to Lin Fengmian: "Fine, I won't ask you anything more."

Finally, Lin Fengmian said he needed to return to Dark Night Pavilion.

Gan Luo agreed.

When Lin Fengmian returned to Dark Night Pavilion, the Pavilion Master was somewhat surprised, not expecting Lin Fengmian to return.

"How come you have time to come here?"

"I would like to ask the Pavilion Master if I am just an orphan."

Lin Fengmian didn't remember much about what happened before he was five years old, but for some reason, he felt that the Dark Night Pavilion Master must know something: "When I found you, you were indeed an orphan. At that time, you had a silk ribbon with your name on it."

Then, the leader of the Dark Night Pavilion took out a box containing silk. The silk was embroidered with a phoenix, and more importantly, next to the phoenix were three characters that happened to be Lin Fengmian's name.

Lin Fengmian was startled in that instant.

Then, the Dark Night Pavilion Master told Lin Fengmian, "Besides that, there's the jade pendant on your waist."
