"The General's residence has a hidden army. In order to get our hands on the army, your father and I tried to make Helian Wei Wei's mother open her mouth. However, that b*tch was as stubborn as a mule and refused to disclose anything. One thing for sure is that she had inherited the hidden army and was trying to force your father out of his position. But at that time, she was hurt and was tied up with that little bastard, Helian Wei Wei. Thus, she could not get in touch with them. Your father and I guessed that there must be a particular occasion for the hidden army to appear. After much inquiry, we finally understand that in order to truly inherit the Helian Family, your martial Qi must be preeminent. Secondly, you must be personally acknowledged by the hidden army. Yet, the hidden army only recognizes the seal. Once you get the hidden army, the Helian Family will be yours. Even the royal family will be afraid as everyone in the army is the best of the best. Even though there are not as many elites as the War Dragon Forces, they are all experts in marching and assassinations. They are the most powerful mercenaries in the world that no one can surpass. However, nobody knows where the Military Seal is after the death of the Old Master Helian."

Helian Jiao Er hurriedly stopped Su Yan Mo and asked, "What about Helian Wei Wei's mother? She definitely knows where the Military Seal is."

"Indeed, she knew about it. But, she refused to say anything, even when she was dying." When Su Yan Mo thought about this, she gnashed her teeth with hatred. "However, it doesn't matter anymore. Ten years' time runs out if the Military Seal does not appear within three months. At that time, the hidden army will automatically appear and recognize your father as their master. This is the Helian family's rule."

Hearing this, Helian Jiao Er sighed in relief and said, "No matter what that little bastard does, she still gets nothing. At most, she will gain popularity but it is impossible for her to get a single cent from the General's Residence!"

"Of course, even the royal family can't interfere with our family affairs. Her popularity is just a decoration." Su Yan Mo said sinisterly as she caressed Helian Jiao Er's hair. "Your father and I are tired after years of searching for the Military Seal. Since the hidden army will most probably appear after a month, the courtyard is no longer useful. Guards, burn the abandoned room in the East Court! Save it from being an eyesore!"

"Yes!" The guards obeyed and retreated.

Helian Jiao Er broke into a smile. "But mother, there was nothing strange about Helian Wei Wei on her wedding day. Is it possible that her body was not taken over by another soul? It's just that she became smarter out of a sudden."

"Not necessarily." Su Yan Mo squinted her eyes and said, "At that time, the Fire Qilin appeared at the Third Prince's carriage and interrupted the great masters' chanting. As the Fire Qilin is a sacred beast, none of the scriptures work. I will continue to check on this matter. It's just that the great masters' approach seems to have annoyed the Third Prince, and thus, it is better not to take action at the moment."

Helian Jiao Er pursed her lips and replied, "That's because His Highness doesn't know that Helian Wei Wei has been taken over by another soul. His Highness will definitely guard against her if he knows about it."

"Don't worry. Once the servant girl appears, Helian Wei Wei will be a mess that nobody wants. At that time, I will let her be utterly discredited!"

Su Yan Mo further said a few comforting words to Helian Jiao Er. When she stepped out of the room, Helian Mei was staring at her. Her eyes seemed to be filled with resentment, but the next moment there seemed to be nothing in it. She whispered, "Mother, I'm also your daughter. Why must I get married while the Second Eldest Sister does not have to?"
