"Fengyuan's words left me speechless for a moment."
From the beginning of our acquaintance, besides her initial curiosity towards me, it was more driven by a common goal.
Sun Daha and Sun Zhuo!
Now, however, she has put her elder sister aside.
In other words, she was more alert and avoided the possibility of risk.
This clarity on her part contrasts with a touch of coldness in her familial affection.
In everyday life, someone who constantly mentioned her elder sister and came to Jin Yang solely for revenge could make such a choice. It's enough to show how important I am in her heart.
"There is a saying, 'when a person dies, their light goes out.' Your sister has passed away, and we should not let the dead harm the living. Even if there were ten thousand steps back, what she needs more than anything is peace. If there's a chance, let a famous Yin-Yang master be invited. Or when you have obtained your Yin-Shen life and inherit Qin Xiansheng's legacy, we can also build her a tomb ourselves. Is that not right?" Yanhong moved her hand and leaned her head on my shoulder.
"Alright." I nodded vigorously and replied in a deep voice, "If possible, we will build her tomb ourselves to give her peace. If it's not possible, I'll also hire someone very powerful."
"How could it not be possible?"
"Master Qin said that once you become a Yin-Shen, you can learn the art of divination. And as for Sun Zhuo, she studies Taoism; perhaps that is the path you should follow most. By then, if you master both, you might just become a formidable Taoist who excels in divination and geomancy!"
"You have always only thought about vengeance. Even if you retrieve your fate, it will only be because you want vengeance."
"But is it possible that you need something else?" At that moment, Yanhong's eyes sparkled to the extreme, filled with hope for the future.
My heart began to pound again.
Not just the heartbeat, but I also felt a fine shiver all over me.
These goosebumps are the emotional resonance produced by the faint excitement from deep within!
We didn't talk about anything else. When we stopped, we didn't know where we were.
Before I flagged down the car, I did one more thing: I applied a facial powder to Yanhong's face.
By the time we flagged down the car and entered Jin Yang city, it was past midnight.
The car stopped outside the high-rise neighborhood where Huang Si was located. I rushed into the building with Yanhong. We went up the elevator to the unit.
The entire process was smooth and effortless, with no delays.
When we arrived at her place, all of my luggage was still in its original spot, untouched.
I found out all of Master Qin's divination tools, and indeed, there was a bronze box. The lock matched the bronze key perfectly!
After that, I changed into clean clothes, and Yanhong also went to change into another outfit.
When she came out of the room, she was wearing a slightly casual outfit, and her overall appearance and demeanor improved somewhat.
"It's strange, my favorite qipao is missing; maybe Xiaoqi took it."
Yanhong naturally mentioned, "By the way, I noticed that my favorite qipao is missing."
I hesitated for a moment, then suddenly remembered that back then, I had given a qipao to the headless woman.
Actually, there's nothing much to it.
However, for some reason, I recalled another scenario where the headless woman was getting her clothes torn apart and going mad by the few people from Tian Shou Dao.
"Displaying divinity, are you alright?" Yanhong wrapped her arm around mine.
"No... nothing." I shook my head.
I wanted to mention this matter, but subconsciously, I pressed it down again.
"We should go first. Later, I'll try to contact Manager Yang to check on his situation," Yanhong said seriously.
I nodded and said, "Alright." We left her house without any delay or accidents.
Yanhong is very skilled in controlling Dizhuo, and there were no tails following us.
We went straight to the high-speed railway station, bought the earliest ticket, and at midnight when the station was not open, we sat on the chairs outside to wait.
I asked Yanhong to lean against me and close her eyes for a moment. She had been in a dangerous and nightmare-like environment for a long time, so her body was actually still very weak.
She listened to me more obediently, lying down on my legs and closing her eyes to rest.
I then used the bronze key to open the bronze box.
Inside, there was an envelope with a simple message written on it.
"Open it yourself, Displaying Divinity." My heart suddenly contracted.
I thought it might contain some sort of artifact or possibly something to do with inheritance, but I never imagined it would just be a letter…
I opened the letter, and the familiar handwriting was that of Old Qin.
"This lock has a mechanism; if opened recklessly, the letter will be destroyed and the words will vanish. If Displaying Divinity, you have seen these words, it likely means that the worst and most unwanted scene has occurred; the Xu family has called off the marriage."
The words cannot speak, but they seem to be the gentle and kind voice of Master Qin, speaking right in my ear.
"The original fate of Miaoxuan, was for your mother. If Sun Zhuo absorbs it together, her Yin-Shen fate will far exceed what she took from you at that time."
"From what I can imagine, you managed to get this key after going through many hardships."
"The danger of the earth's energy is something you cannot comprehend, and you cannot control it. I had a conjecture, but I dared not write it down or speak of it. In the end, the earth's energy cannot be used or relied upon."
"Do not approach me after seeing my body, I have lived a lifetime with too many unenlightened things, resulting in my full body of trash, with three silkworms worming inside me each day."
"And my soul has scattered into three parts: one is the evil thoughts in my heart, one is a wandering soul, and one is the cause and effect of this life."
"Originally, my plan was for you to follow the predetermined path after my death. With a strand of Yin-Shen fate, there are many possibilities, and they might also appear."
"However, it is very unlikely to happen."
"Forgive your hatred, forget your parents, listen to my words, change your appearance and identity and live in obscurity."
"Having lived until today, if you forget all of this, you can live more easily and comfortably."
After reading the entire letter, I felt a sense of oppression in my heart for a moment.
I've always thought that after obtaining the key that Master Qin left behind, I discovered new possibilities in the changes.
So, Master Qin might have arranged another path for me!
I never expected...
However, there is still only one path.
Living in obscurity!
The only path Master Qin allowed me to take was through the Yin-Shen fate, which Sun Zhuo has completely blocked.
Does he think that I'm powerless?
No matter how many calculations, none of them could foresee a way out.
I clasped the paper tightly with my hand, and my body trembled slightly.
A hand gently touched mine, then softly covered it.
Yanhong must have woken up some time ago, still resting on my lap. Her phoenix-like eyes flickered with a trace of concern.
"I'm fine." I tried to force a smile, but my voice was still hoarse. It might have been harder to smile than to cry.
"Let me see." Yanhong appeared much calmer, lifting herself up and taking the paper.
I didn't dodge, and Yanhong lowered her head to look at it carefully.
Closing my eyes, I forced myself to calm my thoughts even further.
Within a few minutes, Yanhong had finished reading the contents of the letter.
She didn't speak, no movements at all.
I opened my eyes and saw that sweat beads had formed on Yanhong's forehead. There was a trace of doubt and alarm in her eyes.
