"the same as you."
"..."
Zhong Yan laughed, "You've got a thick skin."
This is the Zhong family home. How dare Bai Zhixuan make such a request? Indeed, we cannot underestimate her.
Zhong Qin felt a surge of anger and was about to speak when Zhong Yan preemptively agreed. In any case, she wouldn't lose, so it would be good to get this woman out of her sight.
"Bai Zhixuan, the competition has started now, why aren't you leaving?"
"Zhong Yan, don't be so arrogant!"
"I'm arrogant, what are you going to do about it?" Zhong Yan raised an eyebrow, showing no respect for her at all, and looked smug no matter how you looked at her: "Grandma, let's go rest first."
"Alright." Zhong Qin's expression softened slightly, and a smile appeared on her face. "Since you've already agreed, let's do it your way. I hope I won't be disappointed!"
"Of course not." Zhong Yan said very seriously, "Grandma, I will never let you down in this lifetime."
The agreement was for three days. Bai Zhixuan stormed off in a huff, while Zhong Yan showed no sign of nervousness whatsoever. Ghosts and monsters were nothing new to her.
Even if she does nothing, those wandering ghosts will come to haunt her on their own.
Zhong Qin was somewhat surprised. Her appearance clearly indicated that she was hiding something from her. She wanted to ask, but the words caught in her throat. There was no need. She should give her granddaughter some trust.
“Zhong Yan, three days is neither a long nor a short time; it will pass in the blink of an eye.”
"Grandma, are you worried about me?" Zhong Yan blinked, looking completely innocent. "You've always been cold and indifferent to me. I thought you only cared about Bai Zhixuan and not me."
That's incredibly sarcastic.
Zhong Qin twitched her lips. Her granddaughter seemed like a completely different person, but even more adorable and endearing: "You're my granddaughter, of course I love you."
Zhong Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and she pressed her advantage: "Since that's the case, then Grandma, promise me one thing: don't take on ghost-catching cases anymore, okay?"
Zhong Qin: "..."
The mission of the Zhong family is to ferry souls and capture ghosts.
Considering her recent attitude, her expression darkened slightly.
"Zhong Yan, you wouldn't have pretended to be interested in ghost-catching techniques to trick me into coming here, would you?"
"No." Zhong Yan frowned, a hint of disdain in her voice. "Grandma, in your eyes, is the granddaughter you raised yourself such a shameless liar?"
“Yes.” Zhong Qin nodded solemnly: “She didn’t seem like that before, and she was very well-behaved, but lately she seems to have become more cunning.”
“I…” Zhong Yan’s lips twitched, a little speechless: “Grandma, how can you talk about your own granddaughter like that! Don’t worry, I’m not lying to you on purpose. I’ll be in charge of the Zhong family’s ghost-catching skills from now on.”
"That's great!" Zhong Qin said with a smile. "If you really learn it, I'll be relieved."
"really?"
"Naturally true."
"Grandma, I promise I will study hard. Wait for my good news, mwah!" Zhong Yan said confidently, her eyes shining with an amazing smile that made Zhong Qin's heart tremble slightly, as if she were seeing her own daughter.
Her Zhong Jing once held the same belief.
Now that Zhong Yan has decided to take over the important responsibilities of the Zhong family, she will do her best. Of course, the first thing to do before that is to drive Bai Zhixuan out.
