Chapter 251: Chapter 251: The Origin of Aunt Zhang (7)

"Tutu, have you found anything?"

"Hmm, it seems that Zhang Guizhi was controlled by someone." An Yiqing straightened up and pointed with her finger to a spot hidden behind the corpse’s ear amidst the hair, "Look, the medicinal powder I prepared has reacted with her scalp, revealing a red dot. Zhang Guizhi must have been controlled by a drug capable of manipulating human thoughts."

Gu Yelin frowned, pulled the girl far away from Zhang Guizhi’s body, took off his coat, and carefully wiped her hands, fearing that she, too, might be contaminated with the thought-controlling poison.

An Yiqing, who found the man’s childish gesture slightly amusing, couldn’t help but let out a laugh, "Ah Lin, don’t worry, this kind of drug is not contagious."

However, upon hearing this, Gu Yelin’s face stiffened, and his ears turned a bit red as he muttered, "Better safe than sorry."

Watching the man’s loyal-dog-like act, An Yiqing finally couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

...

Leaving the morgue, An Yiqing had already begun to form some theories. Zhang Guizhi’s body reminded her of the attack she and Duan Tang faced a few months ago. She remembered the assailants in black clearly, they were controlled by a drug. She had observed them closely; their eyes were dull, their movements mechanical, not even crying out in pain when injured, as if they were soulless. Today’s situation with Zhang Guizhi was very similar to theirs, the only difference being that Zhang Guizhi was able to think independently, even in battle or at the brink of death.

So, could it be understood that if those black-clothed assailants were under low-level control, then Zhang Guizhi was subjected to a higher level of manipulation? And if this control could turn an ordinary person into an Ancient Martial Artist, could it possibly turn an Ancient Martial Artist into a Martial Cultivator?

Gradually, An Yiqing started to put the pieces together. If Zhang Guizhi was truly connected to those men in black, then it means that what Duan Tang said was true: those men were from Canglang Sect. This meant that this matter definitely had a close connection with Canglang Sect.

Linking it to Xiong Tian’s death, her being framed and sent to the police station, and then the rapid change of leadership in Canglang Sect, An Yiqing came to a terrifying conclusion: A conspiracy targeting the An Family had been slowly unfolding since twenty years ago or perhaps even earlier! And the person behind it all had the power to shake the very foundation of Canglang Sect, had access to drugs that could control thoughts, and had, up until now, not left any traces.

Perhaps, his plan wasn’t just about the An Family. It could also involve Duan Tang’s Muyun Society and other powers...

Dark clouds hung heavy over Xuandu City, a storm was brewing!

After returning from "Red Thorn," An Yiqing did not share her findings with the An Family. After all, they were just ordinary people, why should she cause them such worry?

In these days, after experiencing the ninja assassination, reuniting with her family, and the matter with Aunt Zhang, An Yiqing’s state of mind had gradually changed. She faintly felt that maybe the difference between Ancient Martial Artists and Martial Cultivators lay in the fact that Ancient Martial Artists cultivated martial skills with martial arts, while Martial Cultivators cultivated the heart along with martial skills; state of mind was just as important as martial path.

This shift in mindset brought An Yiqing much joy, and she immediately shared this with Gu Yelin.

"Tutu, once you’ve finished with the recent events, I’ll take you to unlock your body’s hidden potential." Gu Yelin touched her hair while looking at her happy face, then shared his plans with her.

"Hm? Where to?" An Yiqing blinked her eyes, asking innocently.

Gu Yelin, who adored her trusting and silly demeanor, kissed her forehead gently and said, "I’ll take you to ’Red Thorn’ Base, where I’ve already designed a training program for you. It’ll be tough, Tutu, but you have to hang in there."

An Yiqing, gazing at Gu Yelin with worry in his eyes, nodded vigorously.

Her Ah Lin, though afraid of her getting hurt, would always silently support her from behind. Feeling blissful, the girl snuggled her little head into the man’s chest, endearingly naive and adorable.
