Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Xiaxia Gets Counter-Killed

How deep did the hatred run, how deep was the grudge?

To desecrate one’s grave was not enough, they even deprived the family of the coffin.

Uncle couldn’t help but rub his face, this matter had become a complete laughingstock. Once it was made public, there would definitely be those who’d exploit the situation for articles.

He couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Old Lu.

The funeral couldn’t proceed peacefully, his grandson was kidnapped, his granddaughter’s life hanging by a thread, and now even the coffin had been taken.

Such misfortune!

Ignoring Uncle’s inner thoughts, let’s talk about the people who went down first to check the situation.

Gu Beihuai and Tang Jianjun went down to see, "We found nobody!"

"Damn, how did they escape?"

Tang Jianjun was so angry he wanted to hit someone, but Gu Beihuai pointed at a stone wall and said, "Bring the Tomb Guardian down!"

Wu Haipeng went up and brought the man down, Gu Beihuai pressed the Tomb Guardian against the stone wall, "Speak! Think carefully before you speak, one wrong word and this will be your home!"

The Tomb Guardian trembled, and the smell of urine began to permeate.

Wu Haipeng and Tang Jianjun cursed, the closed space magnifying the stench, almost inciting physical violence.

"I’ll speak, I’ll tell everything. They instructed me to lead the way like this! They even said you would definitely notice something was off, and that you just needed to push the stone wall to find the person!"

Gu Beihuai stared at the Tomb Guardian for a good while before he scoffed, "Are you sure? Is that what you intended to say?"

The Tomb Guardian clenched his teeth and started to cry, but Gu Beihuai kicked him away, sending him crashing into the nearby stone wall. Indeed, the impact caused the stone wall to shift, revealing a person lying on the ground behind it.

Wu Haipeng went over to check the neck, "He’s still alive!"

The Tomb Guardian tried to get up and run, but underground, where could he possibly run?

What was even more infuriating was that he wasn’t really in a drunken state; he pretended to be delirious earlier, but upon seeing people, he knew what the consequences would be and tried to escape.

Gu Beihuai didn’t bother with the Tomb Guardian, someone else would handle him.

They carried the man out and confirmed it was Jin Haidong. After taking him outside, Uncle pointed at Jin Haidong, "This doesn’t add up!"

Gu Beihuai nodded, "Too easy!"

Wu Haipeng also added, "More than easy, it’s just too convenient, as though everything was set up!"

Suddenly, Gu Beihuai dashed toward the car, with Tang Jianjun running behind him.

Wu Haipeng called out from behind, "What are you running for?"

Tang Jianjun roared, "Xiaxia!!!"

Wu Haipeng froze, while Uncle reacted swiftly, slapping his thigh, "Damn, a diversion!"

The car sped towards the city.

Meanwhile, how was Tang Chuxia, the one they were worried about?

Upon returning to her room, Tang Chuxia felt something was off about Tang Wanqiu. Following her analysis, Tang Wanqiu wouldn’t be so foolish as to come to her outright, especially knowing of her frailty, and having witnessed her using Divine Power, she shouldn’t have chosen to attack at home.

The more she thought about it, the more it seemed wrong. She got up to confront Tang Wanqiu, but when she reached the kitchen, Tang Wanqiu just smiled at her.

That smile was hard to describe in the moment, but Tang Chuxia could tell Tang Wanqiu was taking pleasure in the situation.

Realizing something was amiss, she instinctively tried to grab Tang Wanqiu, but Tang Wanqiu stood up.

"Sister, I thought you had become smarter!"

Tang Wanqiu shook off the ropes binding her, casually walked over to Tang Chuxia, watched as Tang Chuxia shook her head trying desperately not to faint, gripped her chin forcibly to the side, and injected a needle into her neck.

"Still so naive!"

That was the last thing Tang Chuxia heard before she passed out.

When she opened her eyes once more, she found herself in a dim room, lying on a bed with her body unbound.

"Awake?"

It was an aged voice.

Tang Chuxia turned her head and saw an elderly man with a weathered face.

"Who are you?"

Tang Chuxia moved her wrists and sat up, taking stock of her surroundings. Sadly, there was but a dim lamp and an old man whose intentions she could not discern.

As she looked at the old man, he was lowering his eyelids, the orange light of the lamp falling on his head.

She attempted to get out of bed, and the old man didn’t stop her, allowing Tang Chuxia to move freely.

Only after Tang Chuxia had made sense of the room did the old man raise his eyes to hers.

"Young lady, if you think about it, you should call me ’great-uncle!’"

Tang Chuxia was stunned, sitting on the edge of the bed and locking eyes with the old man. "Great-uncle?"

The great-uncle nodded, heaving a sigh, "I never imagined I had it wrong all along!"

Tang Chuxia did not rush to ask questions, she waited.

The great-uncle was pleased with what he saw, "Your mother deceived everyone!"

Tang Chuxia looked at her fingers, round and plump, quite attractive.

The great-uncle said, "You are not the sister, you are her twin!"

Tang Chuxia continued to look at her fingers.

The great-uncle said, "The elder twin was killed by you, not by your younger sister as your mother claimed!"

Tang Chuxia still looked at her fingers.

The great-uncle: ...

He hadn’t expected Tang Chuxia to remain so composed.

After three minutes had passed, Tang Chuxia burst into laughter, "Great-uncle, that’s quite an odd thing to say. My mother gave birth to me, and she didn’t know who was the elder sister, yet you, a great-uncle, claim to know. Who would believe that if it were spoken aloud?"

She sat cross-legged, the red mole at the corner of her eyes twinkling under the lamp light, eerie yet enchanting.

"I don’t care how you and Tang Wanqiu concoct stories, but I am Tang Chuxia, not as foolish as her!"

Tang Chuxia curled her lips and laughed, and the great-uncle laughed as well.

"You may not believe it, it does not matter. I’m just telling you the facts. As for the child Wanqiu, she’s helping you!"

The great-uncle perhaps felt his own shame in saying this and didn’t continue the topic.

"Aren’t you curious where this is? Why I wanted to meet you?"

The old man was clearly getting impatient and unexpectedly spoke first.

Tang Chuxia had gathered from the feedback in her mind that her body had indeed been introduced to an unfamiliar toxin, but that wellspring wasn’t just a decoration called Golden Finger. It had already helped her handle it, making the toxin pointless, but informing her of its purpose.

Her five senses heightened again, she could hear the noises outside the room as well as the old man’s suddenly quickened heartbeat.

This old man certainly wasn’t developing any affection for her, but excitement instead.

Tang Chuxia nodded, "Curious indeed! Will great-uncle tell me?"

The great-uncle hadn’t expected Tang Chuxia to be so cooperative and was momentarily flustered.

"I am helping you. The Divine Power within you will kill you, but I know a way to transfer it out. Just need to move it, and you’ll no longer suffer from the pain of heart condemnation!"

Though the old man’s tone didn’t change, he didn’t know that a person with enhanced senses could magnify even the slightest variations.

"Oh, to whom does great-uncle want to transfer it then?"
