It was several days later when Su Miaomiao saw her third uncle, Su Yanzhong, again.
"Third Uncle, what happened? You look so serious, it's scary."
Su Miaomiao reflected on what she hadn't done these past few days. She spent her days taking extra classes and her nights doing practice tests. She didn't even have time to watch the handsome men's live streams, let alone her own "All-Round Master" live stream.
"Miaomiao, do you have an antique brooch shaped like a parrot?"
Su Yanzhong composed himself and asked, but felt he needed to change his habit of always keeping a straight face.
Su Miaomiao nodded, "I did have a parrot brooch, but I've already taken it apart. I was hoping Uncle San could make it into a necklace for me!"
She had wanted to tell her third uncle about this for a long time, but she hadn't had the time since she came here. In addition, she left Anshi in a hurry and didn't take the diamond with her.
"It's been demolished?"
Su Yanzhong asked in surprise.
“Yes, the parrot was all broken, but the rapier was very sturdy, so I only kept the rapier and the diamonds,” Su Miaomiao said with a smile.
There are no more antique brooches in this world!
"Who else knows that you dismantled it?" Su Yanzhong asked.
"My fifth and sixth uncles know, my grandparents know, and Jiang Yunuan knows too."
Su Miaomiao suddenly remembered that her third uncle wouldn't ask about the brooch for no reason. How could someone who grew up among men care about such things unless someone had told him something?
"Third Uncle, why did you suddenly ask me about the brooch?"
After a moment of silence, Su Yanzhong took out something.
"Suitcase?" Su Miaomiao asked, puzzled.
But then he opened the box directly, revealing what was inside.
The first thing Su Miaomiao saw was a fake doll with only half a head, and an envelope was placed next to it.
The envelope was quite distinctive, sealed with a reddish-brown rose and decorated with a Western sword.
Su Miaomiao picked up the fake doll, but as soon as she held it in her hand, the doll's leg fell off.
This is so flimsy!
She muttered a complaint to herself, then picked up the letter, only to find several long black nails under the envelope.
"I just received this box this morning. I thought it was for me, but after opening it, I realized it was meant to be given to you through me. It has already been tested and everything is safe."
Su Yanzhong said.
Su Miaomiao nodded, opened the envelope, and read the contents. Inside was only a photograph of a parrot brooch placed on a nail. Turning to the back, she saw a line of text:
"This is a matching item for the parrot brooch. I hope Miss Su likes it!"
The signature is that of the Caxton family.
It seems the family has already found out that the parrot brooch is in her possession; they're quite fast.
"Does Miaomiao know anyone from the Caxton family?"
Su Yanzhong had heard of this family before. Because he was in the military, he knew more about them. This family was known for producing mentally ill people, and they were responsible for many wars in various countries throughout history.
Upon hearing this, Su Miaomiao recalled the man her fifth uncle had saved; wasn't he a member of the Caxton family?
But I've only met that person once; I wouldn't say I know them.
"I don't know him!"
Su Miaomiao answered directly and picked up the nails again.
They are slightly thicker than chopsticks, each about twenty centimeters long, entirely black, and decorated with many rose vines.
“This is silver; it’s probably an antique,” Su Miaomiao said.
"It is indeed an antique of the Caxton family. It is rumored that this thing can kill vampires. One of them was lost before and sold for a high price at a private auction."
"It's so valuable! Let's sell it and donate the money to the orphanage." Su Miaomiao's eyes lit up.
It's just a few nails hammered down with silver; it's not as effective as your own peach wood sword if you're really going to use it to kill vampires.
Su Yanzhong was worried about his niece being targeted by the Caxton family when he heard her say that she was going to sell the Caxton family's sacred object.
"Miaomiao, aren't you scared?"
"What are you afraid of? Is Uncle referring to this cursed doll?" Su Miaomiao picked up the broken fake doll again.
It's laughable that someone would try to take their own life with such an immature curse!
"A cursed...doll!"
Su Yanzhong's gaze fell on the doll. He hadn't noticed it before, but now he saw that the doll was emitting a strange red light, and he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Miaomiao, throw the doll away quickly."
"Don't worry! Third Uncle, this kind of thing can't hurt me."
Su Miaomiao smiled, slammed the doll on the table a few times, then drew a line on the doll with her right hand, two fingers together.
Then, grabbing the doll's head, he snapped it off.
A painful roar came from a room somewhere in Anshi.
Jiang Yunuan looked over and saw a doll on the opposite side had fallen to the ground and was completely shattered into pieces.
She calmly took a sip of coffee and continued with her own business.
Su Yanzhong was still worried, so he took all of these things with him. Only after seeing Lao Wu did he realize that he had been careless today and should not have given those things to Miao Miao.
"Third Brother, Miao Miao will be mentally prepared after seeing those things. You did nothing wrong. Besides, it's normal that we can't tell if there's a curse."
Su Yunfeng comforted him.
"Why did the Caxton family curse Miao Miao? Was it just because of that brooch?"
"The brooch is a family heirloom. If they knew it was in Miaomiao's hands, they should have tried to get it back. There's no need to curse it."
"But the brooch was removed!"
“Tearing it down won’t have any impact; what they want is that blue diamond,” Su Yunfeng said with a smile.
"..."
While the two brothers were chatting, Su Miaomiao went to find Pan Pei and his apprentice.
As for Master He and Mu Yan, they have already returned to Anshi.
"Master Pan, do we have vampires around here?" Su Miaomiao asked.
"Vampires? Those are rare species! There are no vampires in China, so we have to import them from abroad."
Pan Pei perked up instantly when Su Miaomiao mentioned vampires.
Back in the day, his master had taken him to buy goods, but later the Xuanmen sect forbade them from doing this business, so they had to give up.
"import?"
Su Miaomiao immediately sensed something interesting, and her eyes lit up instantly.
"Yes, in the past, people in the Xuanmen sect used vampires to refine pills, and they also collected teeth specifically to make quite beautiful accessories..."
Pan Pei recounted the events of that year with remarkable speed, eliciting gasps of surprise from Su Miaomiao and Ning Tianwei.
"Tsk tsk tsk! This race is so pitiful! They've been turned into protected animals."
Ning Tianwei felt it was such a pity. If it hadn't been banned, his master would definitely have taken him abroad to do this business, and then he could have traveled all over the world.
Su Miaomiao was also very emotional. She never expected that the 'mosquito tribe' would live such a miserable life. It was even worse than her previous life, when at least she caught a few mosquitoes.
Putting everything else aside, he's a great worker, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and can survive with just a blood pack.
