Huo Huanyu seemed oblivious to Ping Hongxi's loss of composure.

He laughed and said, "Yes, I heard that she and her father studied metaphysics and drew talismans, which is how they managed to subdue the zombies raised by those hunters."

"Only Ji Shao and his group were able to capture the hunter group."

He tentatively asked, "You two grew up together, do you know how to do these things?"

Ji Yong and his men captured the hunters and brought them back to the military.

Not only did he receive a reward from the military, but his reputation among those with superpowers also increased significantly.

Many relatives of those with supernatural abilities expressed their gratitude to Ji Yong and Si Qin.

Furthermore, since Ji Yong and others witnessed Huo Xingchen's death, the Huo family naturally wanted to investigate thoroughly.

Only then did they discover that Ji Yong had rescued Qingyou when he went out after arriving in the fourth district.

Then, when Si Qin was infected with some kind of corpse poison, it was Qingyou who helped him get rid of it.

Qingyou also possesses metaphysical abilities, which helped Ji Yong and others capture people.

He had been in contact with Qingyou for two or three months but had not discovered these things.

That's why he couldn't help but test Ping Hongxi.

Ping Hongxi panicked when she heard that Qingyou was still alive, and now that Huo Huanyu said that Qingyou knew some kind of metaphysics, she was even more confused.

"Metaphysics, drawing talismans?"

She thought about it carefully, "Uncle does seem to have a few books on metaphysics from before the Great Cataclysm. He studied them and mentioned the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, but I don't really know the specifics."

She remembered them because she had seen several such books when she was rummaging through things in the yard not long ago.

She didn't care at the time, so she tossed it aside.

Who would have thought this book would be so useful, enabling Qingyou to help the young masters of the Ji and Si families? I should have taken it with me.

Ping Hongxi clenched her fists under the table. Why was that?

Qingyou survived all that and even learned some kind of talisman-drawing metaphysics; she's really lucky.

Seeing Ping Hongxi's expression, Huo Huanyu understood that she really didn't know. "Then it seems that Qingyou has learned it."

Ping Hongxi forced a smile. "I guess so."

Then she realized that she had been too out of control, so she said apologetically, "I was so excited when I heard about Qingyou that I accidentally spilled my coffee. I'm sorry."

After arriving in the first district, she secretly approached the Yan family and Uncle Yan's long-time nemesis, who was also the next head of the Yan family.

He used his ability to possess brain-based superpowers and create biological weapons as leverage.

So the other party directly recognized her and brought her back to the Yan family, but under the identity of Qingyou.

Then, not only did she become the legitimate daughter of the Yan family, but the Yan family also gave her a separate laboratory to lead people in developing biological weapons.

Not long ago, she deliberately ran into Huo Huanyu.

Then she told him that she and Qingyou went out to find Qingmeng, but they encountered danger.

Qingyou died in the wild, and before she died, she told her to come to the First District to find the Yan family and recognize her relatives.

After she arrived at the Yan family, she discovered that Grandma Yan was seriously ill. Therefore, Qingyou's uncle asked her to take care of her in place of Qingyou, which was also Qingyou's wish. So she became the young lady of the Yan family.

Huo Huanyu believed her.

Ping Hongxi suddenly grabbed Huo Huanyu's hand again, looking at him with excitement, "Qingyou is still alive?"

Huo Huanyu nodded, "Yes, I heard she almost died in the wilderness, but was rescued by Ji Yong and others who happened to be passing by."

When he heard from Ping Hongxi that Qingyou had died, he felt a little uneasy.

After all, the other party not only saved him, but also took him in to escape the pursuit of the other two brothers.

He had a certain fondness for Qingyou, who was beautiful, innocent, and had great scientific research talent.

But the other party is just an ordinary person. He is going to inherit the Huo family in the future, and his family will definitely not allow him to marry Qingyou.

However, he had already planned it out. Once he became the heir and married a woman who was of equal social standing and could help him, he would bring Qingyou to the First District to raise her.

Who knew that not long ago she would meet Ping Hongxi and be told that Qingyou had died.

Ping Hongxi not only activated her brain-based superpowers, but also replaced Qingyou as the young lady of the Yan family.

The biological weapons that Qingyou had envisioned researching also became Ping Hongxi's.

And I heard that some results have been achieved.

He knew that Ping Hongxi liked him when he was in the fourth district, and after they met in the first district, she made no attempt to hide her affection for him.

Since Ping Hongxi's current identity and abilities can be used by him, he also pretended to be very happy after the encounter.

A month ago, he inadvertently discovered that Ping Hongxi had actually saved the heir of the strongest hunter team outside the city.

In order to successfully eliminate Huo Xingchen, he maintained a slightly ambiguous relationship with her and then gave her hints.

As expected, Ping Hongxi also hoped that he could inherit the Huo family, so she contacted that person to kill Huo Xingchen.

Compared to Ping Hongxi, who is scheming, vain, and ruthless, he naturally prefers the simple-minded Qingyou.

Unfortunately, Qingyou was just an ordinary person. Even though she survived and managed to show her face, she no longer even had the identity of a young lady from the Yan family, so he had no choice but to give up.

Ping Hongxi's eyes reddened. "Qingyou is still alive, that's wonderful."

“When we were in danger, I found that she was no longer breathing, and I thought we should hurry back to the base to find someone to save her.”

"But after we sent someone back, she disappeared."

She wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes. "I thought she had been dragged away by the mutated beast. It turns out she was rescued by Ji Shao and the others."

In his heart, however, he cursed Ji Yong and the others.

Her face showed the joy of having a loved one back. "When I get back today, I'll try to contact her and ask if she's coming to the First District."

Huo Huanyu smiled and said, "You two sisters have a deep bond, it's good that you let her come to the First District for a reunion."

He wanted to find out what was going on with Qingyou and whether she had developed any special abilities.

Ping Hongxi's smile froze for a moment, then she sighed, "Of course, but she and Sister Qingmeng never liked the First District before, so I don't know if they will come this time."

Judging from Huo Huanyu's expression, he still has feelings for Qingyou.

Although she had drugged Qingyou before removing her protective mask, she wasn't sure if Qingyou knew she was the one who did it.

If she didn't know it was her who did the killing, she could have coaxed Qingyou into believing her.

But what if the other party comes to District One, steals Huo Huanyu, and takes away the biological weapons project?

This is a situation she absolutely will not allow to happen.

So she had already decided in her heart that she had to get rid of the Qingyou sisters no matter what.

Fortunately, the Qingyou sisters were very resistant to the first district and did not come with Ji Yong and the others.

She needed to stay in District 4 so she could find someone to target.

Huo Huanyu said, "If you invite them, they would probably like to come and reunite with you."

He hadn't expected Ping Hongxi to kill Qingyou; he just guessed that the two had encountered danger. Ping Hongxi abandoned Qingyou after seeing that she was no longer alive, and then took Qingyou's identity and research materials to the First District.

If we coax her a little, given their past sisterly bond, Qingyou should agree to Ping Hongxi's request.

Ping Hongxi dug her nails into her flesh, but nodded and smiled, saying, "Yes, I miss them too."

I wish they would die soon.
