The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

Chapter 155 Eagle and Rose

"You've changed your name now, haven't you? Crimson Rose? What's your identity now?"

On the sixth floor of the Star-Picking Tower, there was a person sitting with their back to the door; there was no one else there.

Yun Yuke took a deep breath and pulled down the black cloth covering her face. "It really is you, Hawk."

The person turned slightly to face Yun Yuke.

Just like Yun Yuke and the others a hundred years ago, their appearances haven't changed much; they've simply adapted their clothing and hairstyles to suit local customs, trying to resemble the general style of people today.

"You haven't changed much, Qiang..."

"No, no, no, you can just call me Achi. We're not that close yet, so let's skip the overly intimate terms."

Yun Yuke directly refused to use the more intimate name the other person had used for her back then.

"Besides, you are now the Grand Preceptor of this country, how can you address a commoner by his humble name?"

Since seeing the flying car that year, Yun Yuke was basically certain that this so-called "National Preceptor Fan" must be one of the other nine people who came to this era with her.

When I first became suspicious, I really didn't expect that any of my friends had the surname Fan, and I couldn't remember for a while.

Fortunately, I had friends who knew more information.

In the past few years, while Yunji was busy opening stores in Beijing, Yun Yuke specially sought out Gu Chengfeng and Wen Jiangyue, a couple who traveled around the world. Through them, she contacted some of her old friends and finally confirmed her guess.

Gu Chengfeng, being a fellow male, was more familiar with the information about the Hawk. The Hawk's mother's surname was Fan, so changing it to her mother's surname was quite normal.

"Falcon, didn't we make a pact back then that no matter how we survived, we wouldn't interfere too much with the development of the secular world? What are you doing now? Grand Preceptor Fan, you seem to have done quite a lot. A flying car? This idea..."

Master Fan stood up with a smile. “What? Is a flying car not good? Are people of this era inherently incapable of appreciating advanced technology? I built the flying car so that more people could use it. Just like our spaceships over there, it’s convenient and fast. Ah Chi, you’re not that kind of selfish person.”

Yun Yuke looked at the person in front of her and felt a sense of strangeness.

"You...you've changed."

"Oh? Tell me then, how have I, the Hawk, changed?"

Master Fan stared directly at Yun Yuke, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.

"you you……"

Yun Yuke thought for a moment. What she really wanted to say was that this person had become even more handsome than before, but then she remembered that the person in front of her was her enemy. So she had to keep those words to herself.

"Oh, why did you stop talking? If you won't say it, I'll say it for you."

Master Fan crossed his arms and paced around Yun Yuke.

“I, Hawk, am nothing more than an ugly assassin, and my methods are hardly honorable. I am not like the renowned Crimson Rose or Blood Hand Three Blades, who are upright assassins. You and your brother are a pair of heroic and chivalrous warriors, while I, Hawk, am just a rat in the gutter. It is truly a blessing from my ancestors that I can accompany you on missions.”

Master Fan spoke self-deprecatingly, his head held high, completely unconcerned about the past.

"Look at me now, I'm second only to the emperor, above all others, even the emperor has to listen to me. What about the empress dowager? The empress? The powerful? The general? Aren't they all respectful to me, bowing their heads in obeisance? Oh right, Achi, you haven't bowed to me yet. His Majesty has specifically issued an order that when paying homage to Grand Preceptor Fan, one must kneel three times and kowtow nine times, with the highest honor..."

Master Fan walked to the door and stared intently at the woman before him.

Do you like this change?

Yun Yuke didn't say much, "To be honest, you're much better than before when you were a bit gloomy."

"Gloomy, yes, that's what your brother said about me, I still remember it..."

Master Fan spat out a few words through gritted teeth, “He said, ‘Ah Ying, you’re really too gloomy, brother. Don’t be so somber. My sister doesn’t like people like you. As her younger brother, I don’t interfere much with her choices, but I can still trip up her suitors.’”

“You’re right, that’s what my brother would say.” Yun Yuke could almost picture the tone of her brother’s voice back then.

"So, what do you think of me now, Crimson Rose?"

The Imperial Preceptor Fan spread his arms wide, his clothes were a gift from the Emperor, made of black silk, and embroidered with dragon patterns in gold thread, not much different from the Emperor's dragon robe.

"Nice clothes, but you're still as annoying as ever. Arrogant, conceited, and looking down on everyone. I have to say, my brother's assessment back then was absolutely right."

Crack! With a wave of his hand, the porcelain vase placed on one side of the room fell over.

"What's wrong with me? You looked down on me a hundred years ago, and you still look down on me a hundred years later!"

As Fan Guoshi spoke, he rushed over, seemingly trying to grab Yun Yuke.

Yun Yuke was prepared. She lightly touched the ground with her toes and nimbly leaped behind her opponent.

"I told you back then that I don't have any personal preferences when it comes to relationships, and I've always treated you as a friend..."

"Friends! Friends! Friends! You know I'm not thinking about friends!"

Seeing Yun Yuke jump away, Master Fan channeled his energy and thrust his sword at Yun Yuke's landing point.

In an instant, a pit appeared underfoot.

Yun Yuke anticipated the other party's actions and, before she could even stand still, she flipped over and jumped to another location.

"Stop it now, I don't want to fight you today," Yun Yuke said, as she climbed onto the roof beam.

Master Fan stopped his attack, stood still, and lightly dusted off non-existent dust from his sleeves.

"I know why you're here. It's the same old story: don't let me interfere with the development of this era, and don't design anything ahead of its time."

Yun Yuke landed from above, "Yes and no."

"Oh?"

"Given your current status, even if I told you not to do any research, the current emperor wouldn't dare to do anything to you, right?"

"Yes, His Majesty treats me extremely well. He has never skimped on my food and drink and has prepared everything I want for me."

Master Fan reached out and pulled the chair he had just been sitting in in front of him, then continued to sit upright.

“You’re from this era too, you must know this much, right? ‘National Preceptor Fan has made tremendous contributions to the country and its people.’ Ah Chi, I’m telling you that ordinary people in this era can also live a good life, I’m helping them.”

Master Fan was beaming with pride.

"By the way, where's your brother? I really want to show him what I look like now. I wonder if he still thinks I'm gloomy."

Yun Yuke focused on the person in front of her, ignoring what the other person was saying, and instead asked about something else.

"Your research requires a lot of subordinates, right?"

"Yes. It's not a secret, it's normal that you know this."

Yun Yuke slowly opened her mouth and threw out a small paper packet at the same time.

"This is something you developed, right?"

Master Fan took the paper package, and just by smelling it and squeezing the paper, he knew what was inside.

"Hmm, wood strengthening agent. The fourth experiment was a success. The powder form is easy to carry. What's up?"

Yun Yuke stared intently at the person in front of her, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke.

"Why did your experiment involve kidnapping so many ordinary women?"
