Before Shen Qingqiu left, Ji Jiuying made a point of inquiring about who the people from the Liu family were and where they were staying!

Fortunately, Liu Susu's father also came!

"Mother, Father! It's all Piaopiao's fault for not taking good care of my sister! That's why she suffered all this!" Liu Piaopiao knelt on the ground with a thud and cried sadly and remorsefully.

Liu Rumeng sat in the main seat, with Zhou Quan, Liu Susu's biological father, on her left and Wu Qiu, Liu Piaopiao's biological father, on her right.

At this moment, Liu Rumeng stared at Liu Piaopiao on the ground. Their Liu family had always only valued strength and talent. Su Su's talent for refining weapons was extremely high, and she had even been praised by the current emperor. As for who she preferred to be the head of the family, she really had a hard time making a decision.

She knew that Liu Piaopiao and Liu Susu had always been at odds since childhood, and she had even suspected that Susu's murder might be related to Piaopiao! After all, they were rivals! But she had no evidence. However, if it really was related to Piaopiao, then she would make sure she received the punishment she deserved!

"Alright, this is something you can't control! Now that the truth has come out, we can take Susu back to Western Jin for burial tomorrow!"

Thinking of the terrible things Liu Susu had suffered, Liu Rumeng felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife. Even though she tried her best to endure it, the man on her left had red eyes from crying and stared blankly ahead.

Although the man on the right also looks worried, a closer look reveals an undisguised excitement on his face; he is undoubtedly Liu Piaopiao's biological father.

He wished Liu Susu were dead, so that no one would compete with his Piaopiao for the position of family head!

"Yes!" Liu Piaopiao lowered her eyes. She knew that her mother had always been suspicious by nature, and she had to do something to dispel her mother's suspicions.

As night fell, the moonlight flickered under the cover of dark clouds.

Following the directions given by Shen Qingqiu, Ji Jiuying arrived at a courtyard, but she wondered which room was where Liu Susu's father lived! Just as Ji Jiuying was still hesitating, she saw Liu Rumeng and Zhou Quan come out of the room.

At this moment, Liu Rumeng sensed something and her sharp eyes turned to Ji Jiuying's location. Ji Jiuying's heart skipped a beat. Had she discovered her? Before she could think further, a hidden weapon was launched at her, forcing her to reveal herself!

"Ji Jiuying! What are you doing here sneaking around like this? If I remember correctly, this is the residence for foreign guests, not close to your inner sect. Don't tell me you're here for a stroll!" Liu Rumeng stared coldly at Ji Jiuying.

"Patriarch Liu, I've come here to see you and Su Su's father!" Ji Jiuying said bluntly.

"Coming to see us in the middle of the night? Is there something you need?"

Liu Rumeng asked in confusion, but her eyes were fixed on Ji Jiuying.

"You might find this absurd, but I'm here to help Susu fulfill her last wish!"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Quan and Liu Rumeng asked at the same time.

"I can let you see Liu Susu one last time, which is her only wish now!" Ji Jiuying continued, but she was met with Liu Rumeng's ruthless attack!

"Don't you have a heart? Susu has been dead for so many days, and you still have the mind to come to us in the middle of the night to say these things!"

While dealing with Liu Rumeng's tricks, Ji Jiuying said, "Everything I said is true, please believe me!" Then, remembering something, she added, "Susu said that when she was little, she heard the servants say that you were a tiger, and you couldn't touch a tiger's butt. So, she would sneak into your room at night and touch your butt!! Susu also said that two years ago, you told her that when she returned from her studies, you would kidnap the eldest son of the Dongfang family and bring him to the Liu family to be her husband..."

Liu Rumeng withdrew her spiritual power and stared at Ji Jiuying in disbelief. Only she and Susu knew about these things. How could she know? Could what she said be true?

"Can you really let us see Susu?"

"Madam, she's clearly a liar!" Zhou Quan cried out. "Su Su is in such a state, what are your true intentions!"

But this time Liu Rumeng ignored him and continued to look at Ji Jiuying.

"Really! As long as you're willing to believe me, I can lure her out!" Ji Jiuying said earnestly.

Zhou Quan, standing to the side, thought that the lady must be crazy to believe her.

"Fine, but if you dare to deceive me, I will make you regret what you've done!" Liu Rumeng steadied herself and decided to trust her this once.

Although Zhou Quan didn't believe it, his wife was determined to go, so he couldn't let her go alone. He wanted to see how things would end!

Soon, the three arrived at Liu Susu's courtyard. To avoid unnecessary trouble, they decided to sneak in without being noticed by the gatekeeper.

At this moment, the room of Liu Susu was filled with the fragrance of herbs, which the academy used to prevent her body from rotting.

Ji Jiuying stepped forward and lifted the white cloth, revealing the terrible state of her body. Liu Rumeng and He Zhouquan staggered a few steps, almost unable to stand. The two of them stepped forward with heartache, wanting to touch her face but not knowing where to begin.

Liu Rumeng sobbed uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face. What had her Susu done to deserve this? Her hatred for the Second Elder deepened.

Ji Jiuying picked up a dagger, pricked her finger, and placed it between Liu Rumeng's and Zhou Quan's eyebrows. For safety, Ji Jiuying had them turn their backs to each other. Then, she used her soul technique to extract Liu Susu's soul from her body.

Upon seeing the two figures with their backs to her, Liu Susu immediately broke down in tears, crying out, "Father! Mother!"

Upon hearing that all-too-familiar voice, Liu Rumeng and Zhou Quan's pupils dilated, and they turned around abruptly, staring in disbelief at Liu Susu in front of them.

"Susu, my Susu! It really is you!" Liu Rumeng and Zhou Quan rushed forward, trying to hug the person in front of them, but their bodies passed right through Liu Susu!

Liu Rumeng was stunned for a moment!

"Father, Mother, it really is me. I asked Ji Jiuying to bring you here. What you are seeing now is my soul. You can't touch it. I'm already dead!" Liu Susu's reddened eyes were filled with reluctance to part with Liu Rumeng and Zhou Quan!

"No~ My Susu, how could you bear to leave your mother!" Although she tried her best to control and suppress her emotions in front of outsiders, Liu Rumeng could no longer hold back and began to feel pain. Susu was the child she had carried for ten months and gave birth to. How could she not feel heartache!

"Susu, how will you live without your father!" Zhou Quan broke down in tears.

"Father and Mother, I am an unfilial daughter! I will never be able to fulfill my filial duties to you again!" Liu Susu knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times.

Ji Jiuying quietly left the room, leaving the family alone!

The dark clouds had dispersed, revealing a bright, clear moon. Ji Jiuying recalled that night on the Lantern Festival, stroking the Phoenix Frost Bracelet on her wrist. She didn't know why, but whenever she calmed down, his image would appear in her mind. Her desire to become stronger grew stronger, and her desire to go to the Holy Domain Continent to find him became even stronger!
