Despite only being slightly older than Su Ruoxi, Su Ruomeng stood in front of her like a savior. Upon seeing this, the men in black beat the both of them in anger. To protect Little Ruoxi, Su Ruomeng embraced her tightly and tried to cover her. She pushed Su Ruoxi out of the door when she found the opportunity to…

At that point in time, Little Ruoxi was already stunned. After being pushed out, she heard Su Ruomeng shout after her. “Ruoxi, quickly, run! Don’t turn around! Run to Grandfather!”

Little Ruoxi had been timid and cowardly since she was a child. She was not familiar with the Prince’s mansion. She ran back after running for a while. When she ran back, the scene she saw pained her. She saw a few men in black riding on Su Ruomeng…

There were injuries on Su Ruomeng’s face, hands, and legs. Blood was splattered everywhere. She was in so much pain that she could no longer make any noise…

She could only let them ravage her body. Little Ruoxi did not understand what they were doing, but that scene caused her to fall into deep fear. She even chose to bury up that memory…

Thus, Su Ruoxi did not remember that incident when she just transmigrated. Only about a year ago, when she started to constantly dream of some things, Su Ruoxi started to turn suspicious and slowly recovered her memory with Master’s help…

Although she was a cold-blooded assassin in her past life, she could not help but tear up when she recovered that memory. That moment, she swore that she would find that girl called Su Ruomeng. Even if she was dead, she would make the culprits pay for what they have done…

Hence, when Xuemo said that there was news, Su Ruoxi was anxious. She was worried to hear bad news…

Ling Xuemo didn’t know about Su Ruoxi’s memory. She thought that Su Ruoxi’s sudden investigation of Prince Su’s mansion was a result of her plan to return to the Prince’s mansion.

“Only a bit, not too much. You once had a sister named Su Ruomeng. However, she was not your biological sister. Apparently, she was the biological daughter of Su Yang, the son of Old Lady Feng, who was your Father’s nanny in Prince Su’s mansion.

“After your grandmother, Shen Fei, gave birth to your Father and Aunt, she fell ill! Your Father and Aunt were brought up by Old lady Feng. Su Yang grew up with your Father, and they were as close as brothers. They cultivated together, and he was your Father’s secret guard.

“After your Father went missing, Su Yang left Prince Su’s mansion to look for your Father after his daughter was born. Even now, there is no news about him! Not long after, Old lady Feng passed away, and Su Yang’s wife was also framed by the women in the Prince’s mansion and died!”

“Before she died, she told her daughter, who was three years older than you, as long as she protected you well, her father would return! However, 12 years ago, Su Ruomeng vanished out of the blue!” Ling Xuemo explained in detail.

Su Ruoxi did not speak for a long time after hearing it. 12 years ago, that was the year she was 10 years old. Did Su Ruomeng really die?

That night, she fainted after she witnessed that scene. When she woke up again, she was already back in her old and shabby house without any memory of what happened…

What happened to Sister Meng? Where did she go? She had no idea! The next time she was bullied, there was no longer anyone standing in front of her. She never remembered Su Ruomeng as she deliberately tried to forget that incident…

“Master, what happened to you?”

“Mother, what happened to you?”

Both Ling Xuemo and Baby Su were sensitive enough to detect the change in Su Ruoxi’s emotion and asked worriedly.

“It’s alright. Xuemo, continue looking for news of Su Ruomeng! I must know her whereabouts no matter dead or alive…” Su Ruoxi insisted.

“Master, both of you aren’t biologically related, isn’t it?” Ling Xuemo asked curiously.

“Yes, but she is more important than kin. If not for her, I would have been dead long ago! In the past, every time we were bullied in the Prince’s mansion…” Su Ruoxi slowly repeated whatever happened in the past.

After Ling Xuemo heard about it, she could not help but tear up too. She knew about the things that went on in such big family clans. However, she did not expect that her Master had a similar past. She was also astonished that under those circumstances, Su Ruomeng would still protect her Master to such extent.

Maybe it was due to the last words of her mother, or it was for the strong belief that her father would return if she protected her sister well. No matter what, her actions were touching…

“I forgot about her because of that incident. I only recalled it not long ago. So, no matter what, I want to find her!” Su Ruoxi explained in sorrow.

“Mother, we will be able to find Aunty, Aunty will be alright. Baby will poison and kill those evil people and avenge Aunty!” Baby Su said furiously.

“Yes, we will seek revenge for Aunty!” Su Ruoxi smiled at Baby Su.

“Don’t worry, Baby Su. Aunty Mo will find ways to find the whereabouts of your Aunty!” Ling Xuemo added.

Su Ruoxi and Baby Su left the Pavilion of the Assassins after staying there for a while. In order to not reveal their identity, they could not stay in the Pavilion of the Assassins and could only stay in an accommodation outside…

This time, she returned not only to seek the whereabouts of her sister, but also to take a trip to Prince Su’s mansion. After six years, it was time to seek revenge for some things, from some people…

Heavenly Phoenix Inn, the biggest inn in the Heavenly Phoenix City. It was one of the businesses under Jewels Pavilion…

Su Ruoxi brought Baby Su along and asked for the best suite. She paid three months’ worth of charge and asked for the waiter to deliver the food straight to the room. After that, both of them went up straight away.

Surprisingly, the outstanding looks of the mother and daughter did not draw any attention. It was because both of them took the pill that Baby Su developed, helping to hide their features.

The effect of this pill was similar to Disguising Pill but was very different at the same time. Consuming a Disguising Pill could change the look of a person straight away, but the Hiding Features Pill did not change the look of the person. After consumption, it would prevent others from seeing their faces…

In short, in the eyes of others, the mother and daughter looked like an average looking woman bringing around an average looking little girl.

The best part about the Hiding Features Pill was, its effects were selective and was controlled by the consumer’s mind. They could allow selected people to see their looks. Hence, Ling Xuemo could recognize Su Ruoxi immediately in the Pavilion of the Assassins.
