Qu Jian'er left and arrived at the main hall where everyone was waiting for her. She greeted them with a heavy heart, then calmly sat down in the seat of honor, the seat belonging to the head of the You family.
The others present: "..." So self-aware.
Qu Jian'er looked around and asked, "Who is currently managing the household?"
She looked at the people in the lobby.
Besides Youda and Youran, there were two other men present who were strangers to her.
A handsome man sat to her left.
One of them sat to her right, with a sinister look.
You Sang sat to Qu Jian'er's left.
Since emerging from seclusion, he had been waiting for Qu Jian'er after noticing the changes on Jupiter.
He was the eldest elder of the Yu family.
Naturally, he took on the heavy responsibility of protecting the family.
Qu Jian'er gestured for the other person to sit properly: "From now on, when I'm not home, you will still be the acting head of the family."
Yu Sang looked troubled and said with a wry smile, "Going home to the master, I'm afraid that won't work."
Even before Qu Jian'er came out of the protective formation.
You Sang learned about Qu Jian'er through You Da, and also met with Captain Pang and the others, thus gaining a general understanding of Qu Jian'er.
Qu Jian'er's tone suddenly turned somber: "As soon as I arrived, you resigned and abandoned your responsibilities?"
You Sang shook his head hurriedly: "My days are numbered, so the head of the family should choose someone else."
He was only two years younger than Xinuo's father, which meant that, with the curse in place, he was also nearing his limit.
The people present, who had been displaying various expressions, fell silent after hearing Yu-san's words.
Anyone can count the days of their life.
They won't give you a friendly look either.
Qu Jian'er instantly smiled: "I thought you wanted to go on strike. It's okay, curse me to take care of it~"
The man on the right sneered, "Ridiculous! Who do you think you are?"
There are only two elders in the family.
He was the second: You Yu.
Qu Jian'er smiled and said, "If you insist on asking this, then my answer is: you can call me Ancestor."
Yu suddenly stood up.
He glared angrily at the young Qu Jian'er.
He was burning with rage.
Yu suddenly calmed down. His eyes flashed, and he stated the purpose of his visit: "You may boast as you please, but the head of the Yu family cannot be an outsider. After all, who knows if it was you who injured the old patriarch, stole the ring, and threatened him..."
Yu Sang frowned and interrupted, "Yu Yu, do you know what you're saying?"
Yu spoke without a doubt, as if it were true: "My dear second brother, of course I know. But there are always people who will stand up and question it. I am willing to withstand the pressure and stand up for the You family. I am doing this for everyone."
When he said this, he deliberately portrayed himself as a great and imposing figure, as if he were truly doing it for the sake of his family.
You Da, who was standing to the side, looked at Qu Jian'er.
Trying to prevent the other person from getting angry.
Qu Jian'er wasn't angry; she looked at You Yu, whose behavior was somewhat similar to hers.
She never doubted that she herself had a wolf in sheep's clothing.
The feeling was all too familiar: her family, like her, had all chosen a facade of selflessness to mask their sinister intentions.
So much so.
Qu Jian'er immediately noticed that something was wrong with the other person.
He secretly wondered if the person in front of him was the kind of person the old patriarch had mentioned before, the kind who harbored evil intentions.
otherwise.
Why are they so good at finding fault and nitpicking?
Qu Jian'er propped herself up on her arm, rested her chin on the back of her hand, and said kindly, "Respected gentleman, where is your hat? Oh, look at me, how could I forget? You don't have a top hat."
Yu wanted to refute it.
But when he saw Qu Jian'er's dark eyes, coupled with her seemingly kind smile, he felt even stranger, and it gave him the creeps.
The other person's dark eyes appeared ghostly in the room, yet filled with a strange focus.
She just looked at you like that.
It seems as if it uses its eyes to draw out your most shameful thoughts from the depths of your mind.
Let everything be exposed to the air!
Yu Qiang, maintaining his composure, declared: "In short, I don't recognize this outsider who came from who-knows-where."
He didn't think he had been exposed.
Because I don't want to repeat the same mistakes, and I don't want to die from the curse like my family members.
He collaborated with the Sato family.
The other party will give him a forbidden technique to prolong life after he becomes the head of the You family.
Let him live like the old patriarch has.
No amount of power could compare to the allure of a long and prosperous life, so he immediately agreed.
Seeing that Sophia of the Black family was safe and sound, and seeing that many people had become long-lived and wealthy because of the Sato family.
He became even more convinced that the Sato family was true to their word.
Yu stood up to leave: "Farewell."
Qu Jian'er raised her left hand, which was wearing a thumb ring.
It may seem casual, but it is actually full of profound meaning.
Qu Jian'er squinted her eyes: "Some say that life is a semi-closed, orderly structure, full of fragments. Humans are very good at piecing together these fragments, but they can never escape the fate of going from resistance to sublimation to annihilation."
Yu stopped in his tracks: "What do you mean?"
Qu Jian'er smiled warmly and replied, "What I mean is, if you challenge me again, I'll make you skip resistance and sublimation and go straight to annihilation."
After speaking.
Her face darkened.
This was completely different from the previous amiable atmosphere.
The sheer impact of the image left everyone present speechless.
Because the matter concerned the head of the family, there were no collateral relatives or younger generations present.
Even if it were them.
Faced with Qu Jian'er's invisible pressure.
They are also unable to look directly at or resist it.
It was as if the most terrifying evil spirit in the world was rising up into the sky from Qu Jian'er's body.
