The Lang family.
For several days in a row.
Yan Jiu did not leave the mourning hall.
The person in the ice coffin had lost all signs of life, as if they had entered a period of lethargy and only wanted to lie quietly.
Yan Jiu felt a slight pain in her chest, a kind of pain that was subtle yet sharp.
She knew Lang Zongyi didn't like her like this, so she tried her best to look the same as usual.
Yan Jiu withdrew her gaze, her voice a mix of promise and wish: "I will find you."
The tarot cards floated before Yan Jiu's eyes. The Hanged Man card was shattered, and the Fool card was covered in bright red blood. They had tried their best, but they still couldn't protect Lang Zongyi.
Yan Jiu put away the useless tarot cards and looked at the silent white hedgehog squatting beside the compass.
A gust of wind blew by.
Bai Baibai lowered his head even further and curled up into a ball: "I'm not good at comforting people, but since Luo Jingyi is still reacting, it means his soul has not yet dissipated."
She never expected this.
On my very first day following Yan Jiu, I witnessed such a huge event. The person lying in the ice coffin was clearly someone very important to Yan Jiu. Does the White Gate really only bring disaster?
While Bai Baibai was wallowing in self-pity.
Yan Jiu placed the hedgehog in her palm.
She leaned against the ice coffin: "Even if he's not in the mortal world, I will find his soul in the underworld."
Yan Jiu was always angry at herself; she had forgotten that danger lurked all around her.
It's just that she's not strong enough.
She only hoped that her prematurely dying appearance and her cursed fate would disappear with her death.
She will wait for Lang Zongyi to be free from all shackles; their separation by death will not confine her to a chessboard.
As Yan Jiu stroked her, Bai Baibai mustered her courage and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Yan Jiu smiled but not to her eyes: "Yes, watch me use the backup plan left by my senior brother to eliminate potential hidden dangers one by one."
then.
On the seventh day after Lang Zongyi's death, a special arrangement was made to awe the entire Xuanmen sect with the power of thunder.
The Chen family has Chen Mohan.
The Zhong family has Zhong Rushuang.
The Yun family has a cloud-capped peak.
The Jian family has Jian Zhongyu.
Four of the five Xuanmen families welcomed new family heads, and all those who held opposing views were sent to Yan Jiu.
The Yun family patriarch was furious: "You think you can control everything? What's the difference between you and a bandit?!"
As soon as he finished speaking...
He fell silent first.
Yan Jiu stood before the Yun family head. The faint sunlight after the heavy snow stretched Yan Jiu's shadow long, shining into the Yun family head's eyes like a sharp blade slashing into his head.
The head of the Yun family unconsciously stepped back.
Yan Jiu's eyes were cold and ruthless, and his face wore a cruel smile mixed with feigned gentleness.
He seemed to see a heartless beast that could bite off his head at any moment.
The Yun family head roared, "Yan Jiu, what exactly do you want to do now? The Xuanmen is not your domain alone!"
He could be humble and subservient, but he couldn't bring himself to relinquish the power he held.
Why should the sins committed by the Chen family head alone, and the trouble he caused, be borne by them?
Wasn't it just that he watched helplessly as the bone-piercing needle appeared without offering any help?
Who isn't afraid of death?
It's only natural to stand by and watch!
If he had known that Yan Jiu hated everything about him, he would never have let Elder Yun die.
The Yun family head said hesitantly, "No one will submit to you."
Yan Jiu chuckled, and along with the sound came the scent of paper money and white candles floating in the air.
The incense sticks are still burning.
The Yun family head felt that his life was about to end, especially when the person behind Yan Jiu spoke.
Guan Zian: "Noisy."
Jiang Di: "Just kill him!"
Kong Wu: "That's too easy on him."
She Shan: "Shall we chop off their limbs first?"
Mountain God: "Nonono, chopping in public will set a bad example for children. It's better to chop it secretly."
Mengniang: "We can test the nine cruelest tortures on him."
Huang Xiaoqiang: "Agreed."
Jiang Azi: "Good idea."
She Liang and Shu Qin floated to the side, nodding repeatedly, which showed that they also agreed.
Cola barked twice and bent its front legs, as if it intended to rush at Yan Jiu if he waved his hand.
Bai Baibai: "..." Good heavens, what kind of team have I joined?!
Yan Jiu looked around.
There are clearly many who disagree.
But they dared not speak out against their anger.
Only the head of the Yun family.
Yan Jiu raised an index finger to her lips: "I'm not asking for your opinions."
She didn't have much free time and had no intention of targeting the Xuanmen sect. However, her inaction emboldened some people, indirectly harming Lang Zongyi.
She never wanted what happened to Lang Zongyi to happen again, and that the Xuanmen sect would no longer need to hold differing opinions.
The Yun family head, believing that it's better to offend someone completely than not, seized on Yan Jiu's sore spot and said, "What's the point of starting to reorganize the Xuanmen after Lang Zongyi's death? You didn't even attend his funeral. Who are you trying to impress with this act?"
These words were spoken.
The person who had just been able to put on a smiling mask suddenly became sharp and menacing.
The Yun family head's recklessness broke the silence. Just when the Yun family head thought he was about to die, Yan Jiu disappeared.
Guan Zian glanced at the spot where Yan Jiu had just stood and said to the terrified Yun family head, "He deserves to die."
Jiang Di stepped forward: "Leave it to me."
Kong Wu reminded, "Take it further away, so as not to dirty the mourning hall. The curator will be unhappy."
After Jiang Di carried the Yun family head away.
Kong Wu looked at Guan Zi'an, whose expression was unclear: "Who is the dead person? Why are you grieving?"
Guan Zi'an was not surprised by Kong Wu's question; he knew he couldn't hide it from Kong Wu.
