Zhong Yan's heart skipped a beat, and a hint of tears appeared in her eyes as she looked at her grandmother. Her grandmother's gaze was full of scrutiny and vigilance, and even carried a touch of coldness.
This made her heart sink instantly.
Even if she could do it all over again, she couldn't guarantee that things wouldn't change, especially her grandmother's attitude towards her.
Zhong Qin's heart softened instantly. Over the years, this granddaughter was the one she loved the most, and she couldn't bear to see her with such an expression.
"Okay, I didn't mean to blame you."
"Grandma..."
“It concerns the Zhong family’s legacy, so I have to ask a few more questions.” Zhong Qin muttered to herself, but her expression had softened considerably: “You really want to learn, and you’re not just fooling around.”
"Of course not." Zhong Yan was very certain, and her tone became lighter. If she still didn't wake up now, she deserved to be deceived by villains and die such a miserable death.
Bai Zhixuan's long nails dug into her palms, and she could barely control her temper. Look, no matter how hard she tried, they always acted all warm and friendly, and she was always the outsider.
"Sister, it's getting late, why don't we start eating first?"
"Even if we eat first, it won't change the outcome." Zhong Yan snorted and mercilessly exposed her thoughts: "Bai Zhixuan, from now on, I will inherit the Zhong family's ghost-catching skills, so give up."
“You…” Bai Zhixuan paused, then smiled and said, “Grandma, look at my sister. If she really repents and wants to learn ghost-catching techniques, I’d be overjoyed. Why would I have any ideas?”
Even if you study, what good will it do? You'll just be a useless person.
Zhong Qin didn't respond. This matter could wait; her son had just returned and it wasn't appropriate for her to think about such things. If Zhong Yan could truly figure it out, she would be overjoyed.
"Little one, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
"I like everything Grandma makes." Zhong Yan smiled slightly. It was so good to see her family again. It was a pity that she came back a little late. If she could have come back a few years earlier, before her mother passed away, it would have been even better.
"Zhong Yan, what exactly are you up to?" Bai Zhixuan's expression changed immediately when she finally saw Zhong Qin leave. "Didn't you promise yourself earlier that you had no interest in the Zhong family's ghost-catching techniques? Are you trying to go back on your word now?"
"I'm not pretending anymore." Zhong Yan smiled faintly. "Bai Zhixuan, I thought you had a lot of patience, but it seems you're nothing special."
"you……"
"Get out of my way, I don't want to talk to you." Zhong Yan's eyes held a hint of arrogance: "I advise you not to mess with me, otherwise, you will suffer a terrible death."
"Zhong Yan!" Bai Zhixuan was stunned. Why was she acting like this? Had she been possessed? Shouldn't she be polite to her, hoping for her help? "Do you know what you're doing? Let me tell you, if you continue like this, I'm not helping you anymore..."
“Help me.” Zhong Yan uttered these two words with a playful tone, her expression growing increasingly cold: “How do you plan to help me? By teaching me ghost-catching techniques, or by making me the heir of the Zhong family, and finally, when you’re sure I’m no longer useful, by crushing me to the bottom and killing me outright.”
She spoke slowly and deliberately, her words filled with hostility.
Bai Zhixuan's heart skipped a beat, and her legs went weak. How did she know?
"You're crazy! Zhong Yan, you're crazy! I'm going to tell Grandma."
"Go ahead and tell Grandma that I've figured things out and will study ghost-catching techniques properly from now on. Oh, and by the way, you don't need to worry about me, you're an outsider."
