Noticing Lu Qingyan's caution, the man chuckled strangely, "Hahaha, I really didn't expect you to be so afraid of death, Su Xiaoyao!"
The person wasn't particularly tall and didn't seem to be a man. His voice was very hoarse, but Lu Qingyan felt it was somewhat familiar.
Suddenly, Lu Qingyan had a flash of inspiration: "Yang Xiuzhu?"
The man seemed to be provoked by the name, and his grip tightened.
"Su Xiaoyao, Su Xiaoyao, why is God so unfair?" Yang Xiuzhu said bitterly, "You have everything, but I have nothing."
Lu Qingyan asked calmly, "What do I have, and what do you have? If you don't tell me, who will know?"
"Su Xiaoyao, are you feeling pretty smug right now? You dumped all the men around you and hooked up with someone even more powerful." Yang Xiuzhu's eyes were practically spitting fire, now turning bloodshot.
Lu Qingyan was completely bewildered. What? When did she get another man by her side?
Yang Xiuzhu is really good at talking nonsense.
However, Lin Yu'an is undoubtedly the most powerful among all of them, so this is not Yang Xiuzhu's nonsense.
"Yang Xiuzhu, I don't seem to remember offending you in any way. Why are you fixated on me?"
“Su Xiaoyao, you shouldn’t be alive,” Yang Xiuzhu laughed maniacally. “Only when you’re gone will Brother Ke like me again and let me go to his side.”
Yang Xiuzhu's smile was unsettling. Lu Qingyan couldn't see it because her back was to her, but she could guess what it meant.
"Yang Xiuzhu, you really have gone mad. Have you forgotten that you are my father's concubine?"
"Ha, your father is barely able to take care of himself now, what right does he have to care about me?" Yang Xiuzhu sneered. "He's just relying on his ancestors' protection, what's there to be proud of?"
Lu Qingyan narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Even if you're relying on your ancestors' protection, you're still much better than me. If you're so capable, go ahead and rely on them too. Who will acknowledge your reputation?" With that, she didn't slow down her movements at all and directly knocked the man unconscious.
It's only been a few days, but Yang Xiuzhu has changed so much. She used to be a stunning beauty, but now she looks like something out of a horror movie, creepy.
Her face was pockmarked and probably would never heal; her once firm skin was starting to sag, and her bones had shrunk a little.
Lu Qingyan knew that it was probably because the aphrodisiac on Yang Xiuzhu's body had been removed, and she was suffering a severe backlash, which was why she had turned into this terrible state.
"Yan Yan, are you alright? Were you frightened?" Lin Yu'an rushed over, still smelling of blood, which made Lu Qingyan frown uncomfortably, but she didn't say anything inappropriate.
Instead, Lu Qingyan asked with concern, "Are you injured? I can smell blood."
"Don't you like the taste?" Lin Yu'an asked nervously, then kissed Lu Qingyan on the cheek. "Qingyan, I'm fine."
Lu Qingyan's forehead creased with annoyance upon hearing the first part of his sentence; she had never heard of anyone liking the taste of blood.
Lu Qingyan covered her face and took a small step back, complaining to Lin Yu'an, "It's all your fault! You knew how worried I was about you, but you didn't give me a single message. I have no idea what you were worried about!"
"Yan Yan, I..." He did have concerns. This road was extremely dangerous. What would Yan Yan do if he received bad news about himself? Deep down, he didn't want her to suffer any injustice.
