Cao Ling suddenly exerted force and instantly moved to Lin Yu's side, sniffing vigorously with his nostrils quivering. A look of suspicion appeared on his face as he muttered, "A woman...?" 0
 
Following that, a sly smile crept onto Cao Ling's face, with a glint of madness and distortion in his eyes. His laughter rang out ominously, like a specter in the dark: " Lin Yu, even on a mission, you still find time for pleasure, huh?" 0
 
 
Lin Yu's heart tightened, but he remained calm. He smiled faintly and replied casually, " Xia Po was tyrannical and cruel, forcing young women into becoming his concubines. I took care of him as well." 0
 
Cao Ling still looked skeptical, his gaze fixed on Lin Yu's eyes as if trying to uncover every secret in his heart. His nose once again approached Lin Yu, sniffing the air vigorously, like a bloodthirsty hound. 0
 
 
"Lies..." Cao Ling muttered to himself, his voice filled with fervor. "I smell the scent of lies... someone is lying." 0
 
Lin Yu felt his heart racing and his unease growing, but he tried to remain calm. He knew that his performance at this moment was crucial, and any hint of unease could arouse Cao Ling's suspicion. 0
 
 
Cao Ling's gaze shifted between Lin Yu and the other team members, like a fierce bird of prey selecting its target. Suddenly, he revealed a twisted smile, his tone filled with mockery and disdain: "You know, Lin Yu, what I love most is exposing lies, especially those who think they can deceive their way through." 0
 
He sneered, tapping his fingers in the air as if calculating something. Lin Yu knew that Cao Ling's madness and perversion made him extremely sensitive to any abnormalities, and he had to handle it carefully. 0
 
 
"Xia Po is indeed a violent thug, and his crimes are unforgivable," Cao Ling said coldly, but his eyes were still full of suspicion and madness. He stared at Lin Yu as if waiting for his collapse. 0
 
Lin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still maintained a calm exterior. He knew that he had to make Cao Ling believe in him in order to protect Xiao Yun. 0
 
 
"This mission was indeed difficult, but we finally completed it," Lin Yu said calmly, trying to change the subject. "I hope our efforts can make the court more stable." 0
 
Cao Ling's gaze remained cold and stern. His eyes lingered on Lin Yu's arm armor for a moment before he looked away. 0
 
 
Suddenly, he waved his hand to the left, and a dagger appeared in his hand. He swiftly and accurately stabbed the throat of the Shadow Guard member next to Lin Yu. 0
 
The guard's eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment. He instinctively clutched his bleeding throat, his body trembling, before slowly kneeling down. Blood gushed from between his fingers, dripping onto the ground and mixing with the rain to form a pool of crimson. 0
 
 
Cao Ling said slowly, "Stealing chickens and dogs... Do you think that the more ears you cut off, the higher status I will give you? Cutting off the ears of the same person... Hmph! Clumsy!" 0
 
He coldly swept his eyes over everyone present, with a flash of madness and cruelty in his eyes. Everyone else remained unmoved, seemingly unfazed by such a thing. There was no expression on their faces, only indifference and compliance in their eyes. 0
 
 
Lin Yu's heart tightened, and the feeling of tension reached its peak. He knew that Cao Ling's cruelty and perversion were not empty words; he could take anyone's life at any time, without warning or mercy. 0
 
The team member's body eventually fell to the ground, staining the ground with fresh blood. Cao Ling retrieved the dagger, and with a cold gaze, surveyed the remaining team members, as if warning them not to engage in any betrayal or deception. 0
 
 
"Remember, I can smell the scent of lies," Cao Ling said coldly, with a tone full of threat. "If anyone dares to deceive me, this will be their fate." 0
 
Lin Yu took a deep breath, trying hard to remain calm. He knew that he had to make Cao Ling believe in him in order to protect Xiao Yun. He bowed slightly to show his compliance with Cao Ling, then quickly led the team out of the lobby. 0
 
 
On this stormy night, Lin Yu's heart is filled with determination and fear. He knows that the future road is still full of challenges, but he will keep moving forward, for himself and for those he needs to protect. Cao Ling's cruelty and madness have only strengthened his inner belief: no matter what, he must protect Xiao Yun and find a bright future for them. 0
 
As the seasons come and go, year after year passes. The loyal subjects of the Showa Dynasty are disappearing one by one under the mad and meticulous plan of Emperor Yang Hao of the Yuanxi Dynasty, falling into the hands of soldiers and the Shadow Guard. Each extermination operation is like a silent massacre, burying the former glory of the Showa Dynasty in a storm of blood. 0
 
 
The existence of the Showa Dynasty has gradually become a taboo topic, more like a rural legend. People occasionally whisper about the bygone days after meals, but more often, they cover their nostalgia and fear for the old dynasty in silence. Those loyal subjects, whether they died on the battlefield or were assassinated in dark corners, have become dust in history. 0
 
However, Yang Hao's madness has not diminished as a result. On the contrary, as his enemies disappear one by one, he becomes more paranoid, and the authoritarian rule of the country becomes more severe. His eyes grow colder, his actions more extreme, as if every shadow is a potential threat and every rustle of the wind is a sign of rebellion. 0
 
 
Yang Hao's palace has become extremely strict, with guards patrolling day and night. Any slight movement would trigger a search and interrogation. The assassins of Shadow Guard are everywhere, and their missions have become more brutal and ruthless. Every suspected individual would disappear overnight, and no one knows where they went, nor does anyone dare to ask. 0
 
Under such high-pressure rule, people's lives have become repressed and tense. The townspeople no longer trust each other, and relationships between neighbors have become indifferent and distant. Everyone carefully maintains a facade of calmness, while inside they are filled with fear and despair. 0
 
 
In this kingdom filled with pressure and fear, the story of the Showa Dynasty has become a forbidden topic. People can only quietly reminisce about those bygone glorious years in the deep of the night. However, Yang Hao's madness continues to spread like an unstoppable plague, devouring every corner of hope and freedom. 0
