Mu Yunyao waved towards Wei, causing the guard to nod in greeting. After which, he stood up and disappeared without a trace. Grand Princess Yi De pulled Mu Yunyao to the side, and after pondering for a moment, he said,

"This matter is a long story. When I helped the Emperor ascend to the throne, I was constantly held hostage by an aristocratic family.

"No words can describe it.

" The first leader of the Shadow Squad was Wei One's father. He was an assassin I saved and was assigned to the palace to assassinate me. I didn't know why, but he changed his mind and became my secret guard. The first generation of the Shadow Squad had a total of ten people, and they were all carefully trained by the father of Guard One. Until now, they were only twenty people, and each of them was meticulously selected, like raising a parasite to allow the assassins below to fight with each other. Because this method is too cruel, after cleaning up the aristocratic families, the Emperor …

"As soon as I go up, I'll stop using them.

"

Raising a Gu? She had naturally heard of the ways to nurture Gu in the Cloud Region. She had picked out over a hundred Gu worms and placed them in one container, but the food they gave was extremely limited. Slowly, the Gu's appetite got bigger and bigger, and they could only kill each other and fight over the right to live.

It will give birth to the most powerful insect king.

If the Shadow Squad also used this method to fight for the position, then it would truly be cruel.

First Princess Yi De continued,

"A few days ago, the Emperor once again deployed the Shadow Squad to investigate the case of the beggar in the capital. After finding out about Prince Jin's head, he was so angry that his body was damaged.

Mu Yunyao hurriedly raised her head.

"Grandmother, the Shadow Squad's selection is so strict. Their abilities are naturally profound and unfathomable. They will definitely be able to find out that it was me and King Yue who secretly guided them. Was it you who helped stop them?

" The Shadow Squad was established to protect my safety. Even though everyone has changed their mind, my original intention has never changed. I handed the Dragon Pendant over to the Emperor, so he was able to call them over, but in their hearts, I was the only one who was truly with them.

Master, of course. Now that I've handed the Shadow Squad over to you, you will be their master from now on.

"

"Grandmother, this responsibility is too great, Yun Yao cannot afford it.

" Mu Yunyao shook her head in refusal with a grave expression.

"I only have one daughter, your mother, and you are my only descendant. Taking over the power behind me is only a reasonable thing. Yao`er, you are extremely talented, so I believe you can do it very well.

" Grandmother, this burden is too heavy.

" In the past, she only wanted to live by her mother's side, to protect her mother's safety and let her live for a long time. Now she had the grandmother, Princess Yi De, and now she had Yue Wang, her lover. Her future was bright and colorful, but all she could think about was …

They were all people that she cared about. Just like what King Yue said, they were people who lived a peaceful life. In her heart, there were not even a single ripple.

"Foolish Yao'er, where are you thinking of going?

"The Shadow Squad is just twenty people, and they secretly have their own businesses. At most, you'll have to pay a little bit of silver taels, but your Nebula Market and No Enmity Pavilion have earned so much silver. How can they afford the expenses for these twenty people?

"

"Grandmother, there's no problem with the twenty of you, but the Shadow Squad is a huge threat …

"

"What's that? What's important is that Grandmother handed over the Shadow Squad to you. She only wanted to protect your safety so that it would be easier for you to handle some matters.

" Seeing Mu Yunyao freeze, Grand Princess Yi De reached out her hand to stroke her hair.

"Grandmother is actually a very selfish person. Back then when I helped the Emperor ascend the throne, she was also known as the Emperor.

"I just wanted to have someone to rely on in the future and live a life without worries. At that time, in the palace, the victor was the king, and the loser was the bandit. I wanted to live as long as I could, not for the people of the world or the Jiang Shan Country.

"

Mu Yunyao blinked in a daze, and only felt that she couldn't react.

"I always thought that the reason my grandmother helped the Emperor at that time was because the Emperor was a man of great talents and had the hearts of the common people in the world.

" Besides, the Emperor had never been doted upon since he was a child, and had never been assigned many tasks since he was a child. Although his personality was honest and reliable, no one could say for sure what he would do after he became the sovereign of the country. Just like Yunyao, when you created Ni

Could it be that the Cloud Workshop and the Unenviable Pavilion are doing this for the benefit of the common people?

"

"No, I only wanted to earn more money to make a better life.

" That's right, Grandmother doesn't ask you to bear any burdens. She only hopes that you and King Yue can live a good life and do whatever you want in the future. Besides, Grandmother is getting old, so you have to let me have a rest.

" They were both good kids, just like Yunyao. Although she said that she only wanted to earn some money, but in reality, she had done many good deeds for the people of the world. For example, during the riverbank incident, if there wasn't the Nebula Workshop and Jun Yue, she wouldn't have been able to help.

If he helped them in time, the disaster would not be quelled so easily.

Mu Yunyao thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

"Alright, then I'll agree.

" Good child, for so many years, the Shadow Squad has been under the control of the emperor. I don't know what happened exactly, so why don't you just ask the guard? I want this piece of dragon skin to stay with me first. After all, the Emperor personally gave it to me, so I can't give it to you right now …

But don't worry, the Shadow Squad only recognizes people and not their keepsakes. As long as it's your order, they definitely won't go against it.

"

"Alright.

"

Mu Yunyao returned to her room. After thinking for a moment, she suddenly called out,

"Weiyi.

"

A sound came from the window, and immediately after, Wei Yi's figure appeared in the room,

"Servant Wei greets Master.

"

Mu Yunyao's eyes lit up,

"Such handsome skills.

"

"Thank you, Master, for your praise.

"

Mu Yunyao lowered her eyes slightly.

"Weiyi, since I'm your master, then shouldn't you tell me everything you know?

"

"Yes.

"

"Alright, then let me ask you, do you know of the background of the Titan?

" The Shadow Squad had helped to exterminate the six families before, so they might not know what had happened back then.

"Got it.

" Wei Yi answered straightforwardly.

Mu Yunyao was shocked and couldn't help but sit up straight to look.

"What exactly is the secret about King Yue's life?

" His Highness King Yue is not the Emperor's biological son, but rather the son of Luo Kun, the head of the six great families that were destroyed.
