Liren no longer wore a veil upon her face, but instead donned a blue mask.

"This was left by my father, Ashimo, before he was captured; consider it his dying command," Ashimo said. "He has passed on the position of Rouran City Lord to Ashi Yuanba!"
Suo Lun was taken aback.
Ashimo indeed favored Ashi Luo. He had not passed the title of Rouran City Lord to any of his other sons, nor to his own brother, but to Ashi Luo's biological son.
The Dragon Temple's capture of Ashimo was closely guarded, not to be disclosed publicly.
The official story was that Ashimo had seen through the red dust of the world, planning to follow Zuo Qiu to wander the lands and cultivate immortality. Thus, he completely relinquished his title and domain, passing them to Ashi Yuanba.
Moreover, in the family records, Ashi Yuanba's identity had already been explicitly documented.
