So what?
Zhong Yan turned and walked back. She didn't have time to waste words with her. Even if she was lying, her grandmother would understand. After all, she was her granddaughter.
Oh, my precious granddaughter.
She didn't say a word, but Bai Zhixuan understood what she meant. In an instant, she felt a chill in her heart! Blood ties, it was all because of blood ties!
As long as Zhong Yan is still alive, she is the sole heir of the Zhong family. But what if she dies?
Bai Zhixuan glanced at the dagger beside her, aimed it at Zhong Yan's back, and rushed forward. Tonight, as long as Zhong Yan died in the graveyard, all the problems would be solved.
And it's a cemetery!
A good place to hide a corpse...
Zhong Yan sensed the movement behind her and dodged to the side. The two started fighting. Unexpectedly, Bai Zhixuan still hadn't given up. Since that was the case, she would teach her a lesson.
Peng!
Snap!
...
With each blow, Zhong Yan targeted her sore spots, seeking revenge for a past life's grudge. Just thinking about her wretched state in the secret room made her want to tear her apart.
Bai Zhixuan was dealt with rather badly, but she couldn't understand why this was happening. She was clearly so hardworking and had excellent talent, so how come she was no match for her?
"Why?"
"Because you're stupid," Zhong Yan said with a smile. "Bai Zhixuan, you can't beat me, not in this life or the last! So, you'd better put away your little schemes and leave now."
"What if I don't?"
"Then I'll just have to keep dealing with you until you admit defeat," Zhong Yan said quietly, her tone extremely serious, as if that was truly her intention.
In that instant, that inexplicable chill returned.
Bai Zhixuan shivered and dared not continue to pester her. Watching her leave, she felt so unwilling! After scheming for so long, was she really going to give up?
She stared at Zhong Yan's retreating figure, her eyes filled with malice.
Night deepened.
Zhong Yan looked up at the moonlight. From now on, everything would be different. She would protect everything in the Zhong family and never give outsiders any chance to covet her family's inheritance again.
Bai Zhixuan, are you ready?
After passing the fork in the road, there was a small grove of trees ahead. Unlike outside, it was very quiet here, and even the chirping of insects had disappeared completely.
Zhong Yan paused slightly, and her face darkened.
"Who goes there? Show yourself!"
"..."
"Since you're already here, why hide like this? What kind of hero are you?" Zhong Yan looked around warily. She could sense that she was being watched.
But what does the other party want to do?
Just then, the bushes in front of her rustled and made a few squeaking sounds. A black-bearded old man in a long robe stepped out and looked at her with a lewd expression.
"The Zhong family girl is quite good."
"Who are you?" Zhong Yan calmly sized up the other person. She knew everyone around here, and judging from his demeanor, he seemed to be a ghost hunter, a fellow professional!
"Never mind who the old man is, I just want to ask you, how did you manage to put those souls inside?" Gao Jun looked her up and down and moved closer to her: "Little girl, take them out, and maybe I can spare your life."
"You want to steal the treasure?"
"Yes, yes! Little girl, good things should be shared." Gao Jun said, hugging her waist and groping her.
