"Ah? Uncle Jiang, what are you talking about?" Jiang Qingqing was confused.
Although she didn't hear it clearly, she could clearly feel a fierce aura from Uncle Jiang at this moment.
"Miss……"
"This old slave says, today... is the day you die!"
Butler Jiang chuckled, turned around suddenly, a golden light flashed in his hands, and he immediately swung two sledgehammers and smashed them towards Jiang Qingqing's head.
Jiang Qingqing's face turned pale. She turned her wrist and countless branches shot up into the sky.
However, the attack and defense only lasted for a moment, and Jiang Qingqing showed signs of defeat.
She wanted to mobilize all her spiritual power, but found herself powerless.
Her spiritual power was being drained away bit by bit.
"Uncle Jiang, you...why? Why on earth is this happening?"
"You watched me grow up, I don't believe it, I don't believe you want to kill me!"
"Why, do you have something to hide?"
Until this moment, Jiang Qingqing still found it hard to believe that Uncle Jiang would betray her and take her life.
"Miss, don't worry, I'll tell you when you die!"
Butler Jiang's face was sinister, and he rushed towards Jiang Qingqing with a grim smile on his face.
Jiang Qingqing gritted her teeth and rolled under the bed.
My vision is getting blurrier and my body is getting heavier.
Jiang Qingqing immediately realized that something was wrong. The fear of death loomed in her heart, and she had unknowingly retreated to the window.
It was midsummer and the windows were wide open. If she took the opportunity to jump down, she might have a chance of survival.
At this moment, she is on the sixth floor of the villa. Although she has been weak and sickly since childhood, she is at least an awakened wood-type spiritual root.
Jumping from the sixth floor might cause serious injuries, but not death.
If she had stayed in this room, she would probably have died without knowing how she died.
"Uncle Jiang, if you kill me, the truth will be revealed. Do you think the commander will let you go?"
Jiang Qingqing struggled to move her body while changing the subject, trying to get more useful information out of Butler Jiang.
"Uncle Jiang, for the sake of our acquaintance, if you leave now, I can pretend that nothing happened."
"Or, if you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell us. We, we! We... can work together to find a solution."
Jiang Qingqing screamed, dodged the blow from Butler Jiang's hammer, and got closer and closer to the window...
"Oh, Miss, are you trying to trick me?"
"Well, considering that I've watched you grow up, I'll let you be a ghost."
Butler Jiang had an amused look on his face and spoke in a contemptuous tone.
"You guessed right, I was sent by the Dark Clan."
"Of course, my mission is not to assassinate you, but to find out your secret."
"After all, before you were born, your seven brothers and your parents were just ordinary humans."
"Some even haven't awakened their spiritual roots yet, but on the day you were born, a strange phenomenon appeared in the heavens and the earth, with all kinds of mottled colors appearing like flowing light."
"Since then... your seven brothers and parents have suddenly emerged as if a new force, their cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds."
"Yet you, who are highly anticipated, have been frail and sickly since childhood. Do you think... is this reasonable?"
"The reason why your brother and parents suddenly became gifted must be related to your birth."
"Whatever the reason, your seven brothers and parents are notorious for their evil deeds. We, the Dark Tribe from the Outer Realm, want to replicate these powerful individuals and mass-produce them to conquer the universe. Naturally, we need to know your secrets."
“What a pity…”
"When you were born, your parents kept all the news secret. Only they and your seven brothers knew the truth."
"This is why I have been hiding my identity by your side for more than ten years."
Butler Jiang smiled brightly.
After years of dormancy, he now had all his gloomy demeanor and looked exceptionally refreshed.
"Then... why did you choose to attack me here? Aren't you afraid of exposing your identity?" Jiang Qingqing continued to ask.
"Hahaha... Your brother and parents died in the battle. Guess why none of the strong men in your entire Blue Star can find their bodies?" Butler Jiang smiled leisurely.
"You mean...?!" Jiang Qingqing's eyes turned cold instantly.
"Yes, Miss, you are as smart as ever."
Butler Jiang nodded approvingly.
"Their bodies are all in our Dark Tribe's research lab. Unfortunately, we've found nothing over the years."
"Until... your seven brothers and parents all died in battle. We thought our guess had failed and threw them all into the furnace. Guess... what happened?"
"Tsk tsk, under the high temperature of the furnace, they actually turned into round and spiritual pills?!"
"And with the constant burning of the flames and the continuous infusion of rare treasures, these elixirs are actually showing signs of reviving and transforming. Don't you think... isn't this amazing?"
Butler Jiang spoke with a half-smile.
"Of course, what's even more amazing is that some people in the clan speculated that they were just ordinary people at first, but it was only because of your appearance that they stood out. You are the root of everything."
"So...my young lady, can you please come with me now?"
"Don't worry, as long as you behave yourself, I will definitely give you a quick death when the time comes, considering we've known each other for eighteen years!"
Butler Jiang approached Jiang Qingqing with a grim smile on his face.
"You...you're dreaming!"
"Even if we die, the children of the Jiang family will never compromise with the people of the Dark Clan outside the domain!"
Jiang Qingqing bit her tongue hard, and the sour pain brought her back a bit of rationality.
