The mouth did not appear to be open.

He turned around and looked at Wang Manni and the others, only to find that they seemed not to have heard him at all.

They were still looking at Sikong Leiyun, waiting for him to speak.

But he clearly spoke just now.

Why can't they hear anything?

"Because you are a mutant, only mutants can hear my voice."

As if to confirm what Song Qingqing was thinking, Sikong Leiyun spoke up again.

But Song Qingqing noticed that his mouth was indeed not moving, which was...

Is it also a skill?

Song Qingqing was surprised and suspicious, but she couldn't find any other explanation that made sense.

"That's right, just like you think. It's a mutant's ability, but now it's mine."

"He also has stars, could it be that you've never seen him use them?" Sikong Leiyun's purpose in saying this was to stir up a rift between Song Qingqing and him.

The purpose was to undermine their relationship from within.

But Song Qingqing wasn't easily swayed, and it was impossible for her to develop any bad feelings towards Sikong Xingchen because of his few words.

Of course, she was still a little angry that the other party never told her the whole truth.

Actually, Song Qingqing misunderstood. Sikong Xingchen had said that, but she happened to be asleep at the time.

Therefore, this misunderstanding arose.

"It's okay, you'll see soon enough."

After Sikong Leiyun finished speaking, he finally spoke up, "This place holds the secret to the origin of our Sikong family. Bringing you here is also a way of giving you an opportunity."

If you can't see the secret here, then it means you have no connection with the Sikong family. Understand?

Wang Manni and Shangguan Weimin exchanged a glance and unanimously attributed the words to their plan to marry Song Qingqing into the Sikong family.

Is Sikong Leiyun implying that if they can't see anything here, Song Qingqing shouldn't marry into the Sikong family?

It's no wonder they think that way, since that's what they came for.

Sikong Leiyun wasn't blind; how could he not know their plans?

"Uncle Sikong, we didn't think this through. We won't bother you again."

In fact, Shangguan Weimin did not have any particular intention of marrying Song Qingqing into the Sikong family.

After all, this matter was originally decided by his father and Sikong Leiyun.

However, he only had one son in his life, so the matter was delayed.

Initially, Wang Manni was not very supportive of her sister's daughter marrying into the Sikong family.

Because he had seen Gong Yan'er before; she was neither pretty nor cunning. If they really got together, she might become the next Shangguan Liuli.

But this time, it was his own choice, because Song Qingqing was intelligent, knew her place, and was also beautiful.

Most importantly, she and his wife are both good-looking, and he hopes she can marry into a good family.

This good family doesn't necessarily have to be the Sikong family.

The four prominent families in Kyoto—Sikong, Shangguan, Dongfang, and Yuwen—are all quite good.

Of course, as the head of the four major families, the Sikong family's strength is undeniable.

However, she cannot marry into the Sikong family; she can marry into one of the other three major families.

Especially the Shangguan family, their own descendants, know the country even better.

Wouldn't it be better to keep it under his nose?

In this way, the stepdaughter will not be bullied.

Therefore, upon hearing Sikong Leiyun's words, he was not particularly upset.

Wang Manni, on the other hand, seemed somewhat disappointed.

In the past, they could have married their daughter into the Sikong family.

Unexpectedly, he was politely rejected by the head of the Sikong family as soon as he arrived.

"Qingqing, it's okay, don't be sad. There's no shortage of outstanding boys here. Mom will definitely help you choose a few later."

Wang Manni pulled Song Qingqing aside and whispered words of comfort.

Song Qingqing smiled throughout and said nothing.

But one thing was unexpected: they brought her to the Sikong family because they had the idea of ​​having her marry into the Sikong family.

Unfortunately, her status was still too low.

No one in the Sikong family thought highly of her.

However, it doesn't matter, she is already very wealthy, and her net worth will only increase in the future.

Catching up with them and surpassing them is only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Song Qingqing's slight inferiority complex quickly disappeared.

"Let's go, the princess is almost here." Sikong Leiyun brought Song Qingqing along not only to provoke her, but also to verify some things.

This ancestral hall may look like an ancestral hall, but it is actually a formation, and a formation specifically designed to target mutants.

As long as a mutant enters, they will uncontrollably want to erupt.

But to his surprise, Song Qingqing's patience was astonishing.

This further solidified his resolve to eliminate Song Qingqing.

A mutant who can withstand even this formation must not be allowed to live any longer.

The group returned to the main hall, just as the princess of Lou Kingdom and her entourage finally arrived.

As soon as they entered the hall, everyone was dazzled by the gold and silver jewelry they wore.

There were twelve people in the group, led by a middle-aged man.

Song Qingqing was stunned the moment she saw it.

Because this person was none other than Song Jiajia's biological father.

That is, the man who was scared away by her.

What's going on?

Why was he in the princess's party?

Just as Song Qingqing was thinking this, what she didn't see was that Wang Manni, who was next to her, had an expression that changed instantly when she saw Jia Lanxiong.

Some unpleasant memories seemed to resurface in her mind.

Shangguan Weimin immediately noticed that something was wrong with her and quickly pulled his wife into his arms.

"Manny, what's wrong? What's wrong?" Shangguan Weimin asked with concern.

But how could Wang Manni possibly tell her current husband about what she had experienced in the past?

Even if the other person loves her very much, she can't tell those things.

Because if they speak out, their relationship will be put to the test.

"I'm fine, Weimin," Wang Manni said weakly.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingqing immediately snapped out of her daze and glanced at Wang Manni with concern, but Wang Manni pulled Song Qingqing away.

Just then, Jia Lanxiong, who was walking ahead, also saw the mother and daughter.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically.

"Mr. Jia Lan, what's wrong?" Si Kong Lei Yun asked politely when he saw Jia Lan Xiong suddenly change his expression in front of him.

"Oh, it's nothing," Jia Lanxiong replied dismissively, snapping out of his reverie.

But no one knew that a long-forgotten memory was replaying in his mind.

At that time, he and his older brother came here for a visit and met a beautiful girl along the way.

Both brothers fell for her at the same time.
