Zhong Qin frowned even more. She had already heard the whole story from her, so she found this person even more annoying: "Tie her up for now."
Zhong Yan's lips curled slightly, and she was in an extremely good mood!
Gao Jun's face grew paler and paler. He finally understood why people in the underworld said that the women of the Zhong family were not to be trifled with. No matter who you were, you had to stay far away from them.
"Damn it! You dare to mistreat me."
"I'm sorry, it was actually abuse." Zhong Yan stood at the door, turned around and smiled: "Gao Jun, if I were you, I wouldn't think about all that nonsense, I'd come up with a good excuse first."
She stirred up trouble and ruined their sect's important affairs. If it were her, she definitely wouldn't tolerate such a person.
Gao Jun trembled, wanting to beg for mercy, but she slammed the door shut in front of him with a bang, her movements swift and decisive, giving him no chance to prepare.
“Grandma, I’ve brought all those souls back. Also, if nothing unexpected happens, Bai Zhixuan won’t be coming back.”
"Hmm, is that so?"
"Grandma..."
"Didn't someone tell me before that Bai Zhixuan has good talent and that I shouldn't miss out? When she was pestering me to change my surname to our Zhong family name, you didn't say a word."
"I! I just didn't see her wolfish ambitions." Zhong Yan looked at her grandmother with a wronged expression: "If you ask me, I am enough as the rightful heir of the Zhong family. If there are more, that would be a bad thing."
"Um?"
"I absolutely forbid it! Grandma, please don't mention this again." Zhong Yan lightly lifted her sleeve and tossed out the will-o'-the-wisps: "You lot, listen up, all of you better behave yourselves. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"You..." Ghostfire was speechless with frustration. They had worked so hard for so many years, who would dare to scheme against them! But they had run into such a young girl, and they couldn't do anything about it.
Zhong Qin watched her every move in astonishment. Good heavens! She had only thought that this girl was hiding a secret from her, but she never expected that her abilities had reached this level.
“Zhong Yan…”
"Hehe, Grandma, I accidentally unlocked the Five-Colored Stone." Zhong Yan paused, then explained in the same way: "From now on, I'll have it to protect me, so you won't have to worry."
"Unlocked?" Zhong Qin murmured repeatedly, unable to contain her excitement. So many years have passed, and it's unlocked already?!
She thought she would never see it in her lifetime.
Or is Zhong Yan the chosen one?
The Five-Colored Stone did not originally belong to the Zhong family. However, later, an ancestor appeared in a dream to the Zhong family's ancestors and told them that a chosen one would emerge from the Zhong family, and that person would be the true owner of the Five-Colored Stone.
Unfortunately, the ancestor knew nothing except this. She herself died because of her attempt to foresee the future.
"Zhong Yan, do you know that it is a token of each Zhong family patriarch?"
"I don't know." Zhong Yan said decisively, "Grandma, when you gave it to me, you only said it was for protection and safety."
She certainly didn't blame her grandmother; however, thinking about how she ended up in such a state due to a twist of fate in her previous life, she still felt a pang of resentment.
