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

Chapter 73: Appreciation

Gan Luo's eyes were filled with admiration for Lin Fengmian.

After all, to have such a person in this world is truly rare.

These things truly made Gan Luo sigh with admiration.

Lin Fengmian couldn't help but sneeze. Why did it feel like someone was talking about him?

Although I had some doubts, I didn't dwell on them.

The leader of the Shadow Hall then told Gan Luo.

"The current leader of the Shadow Hall has chosen Lin Fengmian as the next leader. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to let Lin Fengmian inherit the Shadow Hall?"

Upon hearing this, Gan Luo looked completely bewildered, not knowing why.

Why is the current leader of the Shadow Hall letting Lin Fengmian inherit the position?

"May I ask the age of the head of the hall?"

Hearing the words "youthful age" shocked the hall master.

"Do you know who I am?"

It is obvious that the leader of the Shadow Hall is hiding her identity as a woman.

Gan Luo informed the Shadow Hall Master that, based on their interactions over the past few days, he had learned that the Shadow Hall Master was a woman.

This kind of observational ability is something that even the leader of the Shadow Hall is somewhat afraid of.

How could Gan Luo possibly tell the Shadow Hall Master that it was because of mind reading?

If I were to reveal it, it's obvious that Shadow Hall wouldn't believe my mind-reading ability.

Or perhaps the Shadow Hall Master would think she's insane.

If that's really the case, then this will truly be a blow to Gan Luo...

"I never expected that in just a few days, Her Highness the Princess would guess my true identity. I admire this subordinate."

Then, seeing that there was no one around, the leader of the Shadow Hall took off his mask.

The face beneath the mask came directly into Gan Luo's view.

Her appearance was actually comparable to that of Gan Luo and his companion.

Gan Luo was greatly astonished.

"I never expected that the Hall Master would also be such a beauty..."

These words made the hall master somewhat embarrassed.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? Your Highness is as beautiful as a celestial being. How could I possibly compare to you?"

Gan Luo thought the hall master was quite eloquent.

"The hall master is being too modest."

Then, upon seeing the patterns on the face of the Shadow Hall Master, Gan Luo frowned.

I couldn't resist reaching out and touching the patterns on her face.

Although this pattern adds a touch of allure to the Shadow Hall Master.

"I would like to ask if this poison can be cured?"

"Your Highness, the poison cannot be cured."

Upon hearing that the poison could not be cured, Gan Luo felt a pang of regret.

Such a beautiful woman, yet she ends up like this...

"Your Highness, is this a sign of regret?"

"I am indeed feeling sorry."

The head of the hall was about thirty years old.

Such a precious time of life, yet they have to suffer like this.

"I hope Your Highness can keep something a secret for me."

Gan Luo was very curious, wondering what exactly was being kept secret.

"I hope Your Highness can keep my identity a secret, that is, my identity as a woman. After all, Your Highness should understand that in this world, women have always been first among men."

If others were to find out that the leader of the Shadow Hall is a woman, it would certainly attract a lot of criticism.

In that instant, Gan Luo felt that the Shadow Hall Master was too pitiful.

"I'm quite curious to know why you became the leader of the Shadow Hall."

"The reason he became the leader of the Shadow Hall is simply because of my father..."

Although he didn't finish speaking, Gan Luo understood that the previous leader of the Shadow Hall must be his daughter.

The Shadow Hall has always had a rule: the skills are passed down only to men, not women.

However, the fact that the Shadow Hall Master has managed to keep his identity a secret for so many years is truly impressive.

If it were someone else, they might have been discovered.

But there isn't a single person here now.

Gan Luo couldn't help but think that this person must have had a tough journey.

"I'm wondering, if I were to compare myself to you, would my strength be above or below yours?"

"Your Highness, my abilities are far inferior to those of Lin Fengmian and the other two. If we were to compare them to Your Highness, I would naturally be no match for them."

After all, Gan Luo's strength is comparable to Lin Fengmian's, so how could she possibly defeat the princess in front of her?

"I still want to ask you about the poison in your body..."

"Does Your Highness know the name of this poison?"

Gan Luo shook his head. How could he possibly know anything about poison?

"This poison is called 'No Antidote,' meaning it has no antidote."

Gan Luo was very curious about who had poisoned the Shadow Hall Master.

"Who poisoned me?"

The leader of the Shadow Hall burst into laughter.

This is a very interesting past.

Gan Luo could sense that the Shadow Hall Master's smile was tinged with sarcasm.

If that's the case, then it can only prove one thing.

However, the fact remains that the leader of the Shadow Hall was definitely poisoned by his closest confidant.

Because Gan Luo was in the past...

"Is the person who poisoned you still alive?"

How could I possibly let him live?

As he said this, a hint of sharpness appeared in the eyes of the Shadow Hall Master.

She hated this person to the core.

"Unfortunately, I am not as cold-blooded as Her Highness the Princess."

Gan Luo was surprised. Did they see her as a cold-blooded and ruthless person?

"I……"

Gan Luo was about to speak again, but he didn't know how to begin.

Seeing that Gan Luo was only halfway through his sentence, the leader of the Shadow Hall walked up to Gan Luo.

The Shadow Hall Master gently patted Gan Luo on the shoulder.

"I only hope that Your Highness can understand one thing."

Gan Luo asked the Shadow Hall Master out of curiosity.

"I hope Your Highness can seal your heart and lock away love, for only those who are free from love can achieve great things."

Judging from the looks of it, the leader of the Shadow Hall must have suffered a deep emotional wound in the past.

"Thank you for your reminder, Master. I will keep it in mind."

Suddenly, Gan Luo remembered that the Shadow Hall leader had just handed the Shadow Hall over to Lin Fengmian.

"Regarding what you just told me, it all depends on Lin Fengmian's own wishes. I will not force Lin Fengmian to do anything he doesn't want to do, even though Lin Fengmian is my shadow guard."

"This hall master knows that as long as Her Highness the Princess gives the order, Lin Fengmian will naturally do as she says."

For a moment, Gan Luo felt as if the man's words made him think he only had a few years left to live, or perhaps only a few days...

This was certainly not Gan Luo cursing her...

"I only have a few years left to live, and within those few years I must find someone who can lead the Shadow Hall."

If they can't find it, or if they find something inferior, then Shadow Hall will only face destruction.

How could she let her father rest in peace in the afterlife? How could she go to see her father?

"I will give your words a good consideration."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
