Zhong Qin's face darkened, a sense of unease creeping over her. Her son's behavior had changed drastically lately; could it be due to the influence of the Five-Colored Stone, causing a significant personality shift?
Although she desperately wanted the Zhong family to rise to power, her safety was also very important!
Zhong Yan turned to her and smiled in a comforting gesture: "Bai Zhixuan, you keep saying that I have violated morality and righteousness, but how have I violated them?"
Bai Zhixuan: "..."
It seems there really isn't one!
Although she could say that Zhong Yan had snatched her soul, it had nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness.
Seeing her expression change several times, Zhong Yan felt even more pleased: "Zhixuan, I always thought you were a smart person, but who knew you weren't like that at all. What's wrong? I bet you're in a really bad mood right now, wishing you could kill me, right?"
“Those ghosts!” Bai Zhixuan’s eyes flickered slightly. “Where did you take those souls? You must have tormented them, Zhong Yan. This is wrong! It violates the Zhong family’s ancestral precepts…”
"Bai Zhixuan, should I say you're naive, or just plain naive?" Zhong Yan scoffed. "Look at all the souls you've captured, haven't you tortured them beyond recognition?"
"They brought it on themselves!" Bai Zhixuan said subconsciously. As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned pale. How could she have spoken the truth? That old hag was always compassionate and would never be happy to hear her say such a thing.
“You’re right.” Zhong Yan nodded in agreement, looking like she was listening to her. “In my opinion, these souls brought it on themselves. After all, humans and ghosts are different, and those of us who are responsible for catching ghosts have to be ruthless.”
“No! Zhong Yan, this is only appropriate when dealing with evil spirits. These are all evil spirits I’ve caught.” Bai Zhixuan’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly explained, “Grandma, you see, Zhong Yan’s thinking is completely inappropriate…”
"Bai Zhixuan, you really know how to bite back!" Zhong Yan's eyes were full of coldness: "How come I didn't know you were so shameless! The ones you caught were clearly people who had just escaped and become ghosts. They have no offensive power."
Bai Zhixuan's face turned pale. She couldn't understand how she had become so powerful! She had often underestimated her abilities, and thinking about it made her feel quite disheartened.
Zhong Qin sighed before speaking, "Zhixuan, you're late. I've already decided to teach the Six Ren Treasure Scripture to Zhong Yan. If you have any other ideas, I can teach you something else."
However, the Zhong family's secret techniques are no longer possible.
A look of shame and indignation flashed across Bai Zhixuan's face. Why?! She had studied for so many years, and her vision, knowledge, and methods were all far superior to hers.
"Grandma, I don't accept this!"
"What does it matter if you're not convinced?" Zhong Yan said with a smile. "Bai Zhixuan, you still don't understand. To my Zhong family, you are an outsider! Apart from having a tiny bit of Bai Hanlin's blood in me, we have no resemblance whatsoever."
"you!"
"Now, give me the crystal bottle, and I'll let you out."
"Don't even think about it! That was given to me by Grandma, not for you." Bai Zhixuan clenched her hands tightly, not letting her see a single inch. "Zhong Yan, you're just jealous of me, you want to push me out so you can have all the power, right! Grandma, she's so cruel, so cruel..."
