I almost lost my life.
Zhong Qin's expression changed, her attention instantly drawn away. Her greatest wish in this life was for Zhong Yan to grow up healthy and safe. Who was so bold?
Seeing this, Zhong Yan quickly comforted her, "Grandma, I've already taken care of it. Now, I just hope that you won't dislike me and will continue to teach me ghost-catching skills in the future, okay?"
Bai Zhixuan watched from the side, her anger rising: "Grandma, you can't agree to her! What will I do if Zhong Yan learns it too?"
Zhong Qin frowned and looked at her.
Bai Zhixuan's heart skipped a beat, realizing something, and her expression changed slightly: "Grandma, what I mean is, didn't you already promise me that I could change my surname and pass on the Six Ren Treasure Scripture to me, so that I would be the heir of the Zhong family lineage in the future?"
"Zhixuan, you are a smart child."
"Um?"
“But Zhong Yan is my granddaughter.” Zhong Qin gave her face and didn’t expose her little scheme for the time being: “Since Zhong Yan is willing to learn, then she is the rightful one.”
"Me? What am I then!" Bai Zhixuan's face was somewhat pale. "Grandma, I am also your successor, and I have studied under you for so long. I also have talent. If it weren't for Zhong Yan..."
"That's enough! She's your sister."
"As the older sister, I should give way to my younger sister." Bai Zhixuan pinched her palm. She knew what she had to do when she was very young, and now she couldn't just watch the opportunity slip away.
impossible.
No matter what, she had to stop Zhong Yan from continuing to learn ghost-catching techniques. What had just happened had already surprised her greatly! What if she were to develop other talents?
Zhong Yan found Bai Zhixuan's reaction amusing: "Bai Zhixuan, why should I give way to you? Even if you had changed your surname, it would have nothing to do with my Zhong family bloodline. What, do I have to remind you?"
Hmm, blood ties.
The thing Bai Zhixuan cared about most, in the end, didn't she also try to bleed herself dry to make herself look good? Since that's the case, she has to take care of her in some way.
Bai Zhixuan's face turned even uglier. She felt as if someone had dug a hole in her heart, going in and out with endless pleasure! Just because she wasn't born from Zhong Jing's womb, she had to suffer such injustice. Why should she?
"I refuse to accept this! Zhong Yan, I work harder than you, I'm more serious than you, and I'm more talented than you. Otherwise, Grandma wouldn't have chosen me."
"oh?"
"Grandma, I need a chance." Bai Zhixuan turned to Zhong Yan and said, enunciating each word clearly, "We'll have three days. Whoever brings back the most ghosts during these three days will get the chance to learn the Six Ren Treasure Scripture. How about it!"
"Okay." Zhong Yan pouted. The feeling of being slapped in the face was even more satisfying, wasn't it? Let Bai Zhixuan see with her own eyes how much of a failure she was, how terrible she was. Maybe that would be even more enjoyable.
Zhong Qin seemed thoughtful. Her granddaughter was clearly at a disadvantage in this competition: "Zhong Yan, this isn't right. Even if you don't participate..."
Zhong Yan smiled at her, her face full of magnanimity: "Grandma, I am the rightful heir of the Zhong family. However, Bai Zhixuan, I have one condition: if you lose, get out of the Zhong family! Also, I don't want to see you in the future."
Bai Zhixuan bit her lip. Get out of the Zhong family? Why should she get out! Even if anyone should leave, it should be Zhong Yan, since she's blocking her way.
Besides, I've learned a lot of skills from the old woman over the years, so I might not necessarily lose.
