"Su Yuchen, you've guessed it too, haven't you?" Yun Yao hooked an arm around Su Yuchen's neck and whispered softly into his ear.
Su Yuchen nodded, his expression grave. He knew Yun Yao was referring to the three elders. During the few days he had accompanied Yun Yao back, he hadn't come away empty-handed; he had slipped into the study when Bu Lanying wasn't paying attention and uncovered some Su Family secrets.
The three old men before them were likely the elders mentioned in those secret records. Centuries ago, these so-called elders were nothing more than death squads for the Su Family Head.

However, they never appeared in public unless something or someone threatened the very survival of the Su Family.
