"Ruan Xiyan, you are a devil!"
Qi Wan's face turned deathly pale from excessive blood loss, and she moved backward in fear.
But she still stubbornly insisted, "Ruan Xiyan, you can't kill me. This is the Duke of Qi's mansion, and I am the eldest daughter of the Duke of Qi's mansion."
"If you kill me, you will definitely not leave here alive. You should kneel down and kowtow to me a few times, and perhaps I will spare your dog's life."
Even now, she still doesn't believe Ruan Xiyan would dare to kill her! Confident that Ruan Xiyan wouldn't dare to act recklessly, she continues to shout wildly.
"Ruan Xiyan, you probably don't know this, but you have absolutely no connection with the Duke of Qi's mansion."
"You, of such lowly birth and unwanted bastard, should be thanking your lucky stars that our Duke of Qi's mansion is willing to take you in!"
"You should kneel down in front of me and beg for mercy. Maybe I'll even give you a meal."
"By the way, I also heard that you were adopted by an old man in the wilderness. On the surface, you are master and disciple, but who knows what your relationship is behind the scenes."
"We didn't see that old man when we went up the mountain last time. Is it because that old codger is already dead? That's why you ran back to the Duke of Qi's mansion for protection!" Qi Wan said, stalling for time while secretly backing away.
Seeing her little tricks, Ruan Xiyan's face was full of mockery, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes.
Although she found some clues about her background, it seemed that those clues had been deliberately erased.
Furthermore, this old matter had been over a decade in the past, and all she knew was that she was not a member of the Duke of Qi's family and had no blood relation to Qi Shenhai.
She had no way of knowing exactly what happened back then.
Qi Shenhai suddenly sent someone to bring her back this time. I wonder what he's up to. Maybe he can use this opportunity to let her find out about her background.
To be honest, deep down she never dared to explore this question, never dared to think whether her biological parents also disliked her for being a weirdo.
Was it because she was born with a defective heart meridian that she was abandoned by her biological parents and then, by a twist of fate, picked up by Qi Shenhai and brought back to the Duke of Qi's mansion?
But she didn't want to live in such a muddle; she wanted to find out the truth.
Even though the truth might tear open her wounds again, she has no regrets.
Anyway, she was a pitiful little thing that nobody wanted from beginning to end, a joke.
No! Later she had a master who treated her very well, but now that master has also left her.
There is no one left in this world she cares about, so let it all be destroyed! Let everything be destroyed!
Ruan Xiyan's eyes were red, and her blood-red pupils were faintly visible.
As Ruan Xiyan approached step by step, Qi Wan's eyes were filled with fear. "Ruan...Ruan Xi...Xiyan, what do you want to do!"
Ruan Xiyan kicked her to the ground, and before she could get up, her toes landed on Qi Wan's legs, grinding them down little by little, the sound of bones breaking echoing around.
"Ahhh—" Qi Wan let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.
"You shouldn't have done that! You shouldn't have insulted my master!" Ruan Xiyan said slowly, word by word.
Her master was her bottom line, her Achilles' heel; anyone who touched him would die!
"You could have died a quick death, but now you probably don't have that right anymore."
"Ruan Xiyan, I was wrong... I was wrong, please forgive me. Your... your master is the best. It was me... I misspoke. I promise I will never bother you again. Please forgive me."
Seeing that Ruan Xiyan truly intended to kill, Qi Wan quickly begged for mercy.
At the same time, out of fear, tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.
Ruan Xiyan leaned down slightly and forcefully wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She spoke softly and unhurriedly, "Why are you crying! Where did your childhood courage to distort the truth and act arrogantly go?"
Qi Wan shook her head desperately, "It was my fault, I apologize, please don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"
She felt that Ruan Xiyan was now a madwoman, a demon crawling out of hell, without reason, making people tremble with fear from the bottom of their hearts.
"Qi Wan, do you know that your voice is disturbing me?" Ruan Xiyan smiled gently and kindly, but her actions were ruthless and decisive, dislocating Qi Wan's jaw!
Qi Wan was in so much pain that she could only make whimpering sounds.
"It's much quieter now."
"Now you only have one arm left." As soon as Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, she grabbed her arm and snapped it off.
Qi Wan collapsed to the ground, barely breathing.
"You wicked creature!" A furious roar came from outside. Qi Shenhai rushed over and saw this scene.
He heard from Wan'er's maid that Wan'er had stormed off to Ruan Xiyan's residence and had not come out for a long time.
He worried that Wan'er might get anxious and kill Ruan Xiyan in a fit of anger, ruining his plans.
So they rushed over to stop it, only to witness this infuriating scene upon arrival.
Ruan Xiyan stood there perfectly fine, while Wan'er, whom he had always doted on, lay on the ground, barely alive, with blood flowing everywhere.
Just as he was about to rush forward, he was blocked by an invisible spiritual energy shield.
Seeing Qi Shenhai running towards her, Qi Wan instantly perked up and glared at Ruan Xiyan with resentment.
The father has arrived; Ruan Xiyan is not far from death!
Ruan Xiyan calmly used her spiritual power to condense a large sword.
He held the broadsword horizontally above Qi Wan's head and gestured with it.
Seeing what she was about to do, Qi Shenhai attacked the spiritual energy shield, glaring angrily as he hysterically roared, "Stop! Ruan Xiyan, how dare you!"
Ruan Xiyan smiled slightly, and with a swift movement, she brought her knife down.
The moment the spiritual energy shield shattered, Qi Wan's head rolled smoothly to Qi Shenhai's feet.
"Here's your head, keep it as a souvenir."
Hearing the commotion, Qi Lin rushed over and smelled the strong stench of blood.
Before he could even ask a question, he saw a head rolling on the ground, its eyes staring straight at him, its dead eyes wide open.
When he finally saw what the face looked like, Qi Lin exclaimed in disbelief, "Wan'er?!"
Wan'er, who was discussing with him how to teach Ruan Xiyan a lesson not long ago, is now dead.
"Father, what's going on?"
"Ruan Xiyan!" Qi Shenhai gritted his teeth, glaring at Ruan Xiyan. "How dare you!"
"You killed my sister, I'll make you pay with your life!" Qi Lin pulled out a sharp sword and stabbed at Ruan Xiyan.
Ruan Xiyan didn't take the strength of the eighth-level initial stage seriously at all, and condensed a ball of spiritual energy in her hand.
Sensing the power of that spiritual energy, Qi Shenhai flew forward and stopped him, saying, "Lin'er, get out of the way!"
But he couldn't catch up at his speed, so he shouted into the air, "Elder Shi!"
An old man appeared out of nowhere, striking at Ruan Xiyan with one hand and grabbing Qi Lin with the other to dodge backward.
Ruan Xiyan's eyes were icy and piercing.
While confronting Elder Shi, he simultaneously struck Qi Lin with a palm.
Qi Lin spat out a mouthful of blood. Although Elder Shi had intervened and reduced some of his power, he still broke several ribs and fainted.
