Wen Xi's expression was rather gloomy, with burnt scars still on her arms. She silently withdrew from Zhang Yayan's embrace. Facing the gazes of the crowd, she said coldly, "Cheng Yan forcibly broke the power between me and Shadow, trying to break the deadlock. His soul must be seriously injured. He was taken away by Shadow. Shadow has been seriously injured by me. He wants to fight to the death and will definitely use more insidious tactics. I must find him now and put an end to him, otherwise, there will be endless troubles!"
"What? Ayan..."
Zhang Yayan's face turned pale and weak, and mist rose in her eyes. She said in disbelief, "It's all because of me. I made him do this. If something really happened to him..."
Wen Xi held Zhang Yayan's hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will go find him."
Xiao Shaoyan breathed a sigh of relief and asked in confusion, "The turbid air just escaped. Can you still find Shadow?"
Wen Xi glanced at Xiao Shaoyan with complicated eyes, and said faintly, "I know where he is, Xiao Shaoyan, drive me there!"
Xiao Shaoyan was slightly stunned, and said with full trust in her, "Okay, I'll go drive!"
"Xiao Xi, I'll go with you!"
Wen Chenxi also followed closely. Wen Xi ignored the others. This time, she must not let Shadow escape again!
When she directed Xiao Shaoyan all the way to the Xiao family's main residence, Xiao Shaoyan's hands were shaking as he gripped the steering wheel.
Wen Xi got out of the car directly. The security guard at the door saw Xiao Shaoyan coming back and did not stop him and opened the door directly.
Seeing the villa gate right in front of him, Xiao Shaoyan suddenly felt timid. His long legs seemed to be fixed to the ground and he couldn't move.
Xiao Shaoyan asked in a hoarse voice, "Wen Xi, why here? Do you mean...?"
Xiao Shaoyan has always been smart, otherwise the Special Management Bureau would not have made an exception and recruited him directly. But now it has come to this, he would rather know nothing!
Wen Xi stopped, turned around, and looked at him with pity. "Xiao Shaoyan, I don't believe you really didn't notice anything. The closer someone is, the harder it is to guard against them. I met Satan when I was abroad. The person he described, and the clue I found in the mirror world today, all led me here. He has been hiding his identity until now, and he has done so many wrong things, killing so many people. You know it in your heart. This matter today must be brought to an end."
Nothing is more cruel than revealing the answer directly from Wen Xi's mouth. Xiao Shaoyan's body is shaking, his eyes are red, and his handsome face is embarrassed.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xiao Shaoyan's eyes gradually turned cold. He clenched his fists and said word by word, "I know, I'm not afraid of facing the truth, not afraid..."
He raised his hand and personally opened the door to the truth.
Boom!
The originally clear sky was covered by dark clouds, and lightning and thunder struck, illuminating the person sitting on the chair in the house.
Xiao Changji was sitting on a chair in a suit and tie, holding a tall wine glass in his hand, gently shaking the red wine inside. His handsome face, which was 50% similar to Xiao Shaoyan, had a very calm expression, but his face was frighteningly pale.
"Shao Yan is back? Why don't you come in quickly? What are you standing at the door for?"
Xiao Changji acted as if nothing had happened, looking at them with a raised lip, as calm as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Shaoyan's nails directly pinched his skin, and blood dripped from his hands to the ground.
Xiao Shaoyan's eyes were touched. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Why...why did you choose my uncle? Why...why do you treat our Xiao family like this?"
Xiao Changji took a sip of red wine, which made his bloodless lips look a little warmer.
He said calmly, "Shao Yan, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Wen Xi took two steps forward and said bluntly, "Okay, Shadow, I guessed it was you. Why are you acting crazy here? You must be injured after being hit hard by me just now. Your soul is relatively fragile right now. I can force you out of Xiao Changji in a minute."
Bang!
Xiao Changji casually threw the wine glass to the ground, looked at the red wine and debris falling to the ground, and chuckled, "I really fell into your hands. I have hidden my identity for so many years, and now it is exposed, I still feel a little reluctant."
He slowly stood up, and seeing Xiao Shaoyan's angry and disappointed eyes, he said in a cold tone, "Why did you choose Xiao Changji? Of course, it's because he has ambition, he has status, and he also has... a dark side. At the beginning, I simply made a deal with him. After all, what kind of host can I find? Why did I have to choose him? But over time, I needed a stable identity, and everything about him met my requirements. So, he was lucky to be chosen by me."
"Lucky?"
Xiao Shaoyan gnashed his teeth, his eyes blazing with fire. "You actually call this lucky? It's you who destroyed our Xiao family. My father's death is definitely related to you. You even used my uncle's body to destroy my father. You are absolutely despicable!"
“Hahahahahaha!”
Xiao Changji… the shadow that resided within him, laughed sarcastically. "I told you he was ambitious. He once secretly wanted to kill Xiao Changyi and ascend to the top. I simply amplified that thought and helped him realize it. How good do you think your uncle is? Xiao Shaoyan, you've been protected too well. Your thoughts are always so naive. In the face of unlimited power, what does human affection matter? It can all be thrown out of your mind."
Xiao Shaoyan covered his eyes with one hand, tears falling from his fingers. "Why? If you want the Xiao family's wealth and power, I don't care about them at all. I can give them to you. Why did you have to kill my father? He was incapacitated at the time and was no longer a threat at all."
Xiao Changji said coldly, "A threat... maybe. He only has a vague understanding of my identity. He always thought it was his brother who had gone astray, and he always wanted to help me in other ways. When he found out there was something wrong with me, I naturally couldn't keep him. If you want to blame someone... blame him for not showing up at the ruins at that time in the first place, and certainly not for forcibly taking the jade seal."
"Take away the jade seal?"
Wen Xi frowned, "Is this the jade seal that Zou Zheng has been looking for? Now it's in your hands? What exactly are you going to do with that jade seal?"
Xiao Changji opened his palm, and the jade seal with a green glow really appeared in his palm.
Feeling the fluctuation of the jade seal's aura, Zou Zheng automatically crawled out of the ancient bronze coin. The moment he saw the jade seal, his eyes brightened a lot.
