The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 576 - Chapter 576 Chapter 576 Weird

Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Weird Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Weird “Your spiritual cultivation is too shallow,” Baili Hengyuan shook his head and then sighed, “Although the divination is fraught with danger, it still contains a sliver of vitality within that perilous state. Moreover, according to the divination–”

At this point, he paused before continuing, “Your sister’s benefactor is about to appear, and then she will start getting better.”

“Really? That’s great,” Baili Zhenhua was very pleased. “After so many years, she is finally going to get better.”

“Did the divination say when my sister’s benefactor would appear?” There was even a hint of urgency and anticipation in Baili Zhenhua’s voice.

From this, it was evident how much he cherished his sister.

“Just let nature take its course,” Baili Hengyuan put away the turtle shell and copper coins on the table and said, “In any case, today’s divination is indeed a good omen.”

Baili Zhenhua nodded and didn’t say anything more, but he was very pleased in his heart.

“Do you have something on your mind since you’ve come at this time?” Baili Hengyuan looked up at Baili Zhenhua.

“Yes, Father.”

Baili Zhenhua also remembered the purpose of his visit and quickly spoke, “The people from the special department have arrived; I’ve arranged for them to stay in the guest rooms.”

Baili Hengyuan nodded, “The people from the special department have arrived a bit later than usual this time.”

The exchange meeting is about to begin, and the other Hidden Families have had members of the special department visit them one after another. However, in the Baili Family, no such visitors had arrived yet, which caused some unrest among the Baili members.

Even though they are a Hidden Family that stands aloof from the world, they are not completely disconnected from the Human World. If eliminated from the exchange meetings, obtaining good cultivation resources would become difficult in the future.

Over the years, the strength of their Baili Family had declined. Whether it was the main family or collateral branches, children born showed lower aptitude for witchcraft. This had led to the Baili Family falling in rank among the prominent families.

When their youngest daughter, Le Yao, was born, the sky was covered in red clouds, a sign of auspiciousness. As Le Yao grew up, her talent was also proven. If Le Yao could live steadily, she would undoubtedly become the most powerful wizard in the Baili Family.

Regrettably, fate had other plans and the incident happened, leaving Le Yao completely changed. Since then, no highly talented children had been born.

If this continued, the Baili Family might truly vanish among the Hidden Families.

After thinking for a while, Baili Zhenhua spoke, “Father, the two individuals from the special department who came this time are a bit strange.”

“Strange?” Baili Hengyuan didn’t take it too seriously and merely asked calmly, “What’s strange about them?”

Baili Zhenhua continued, “The two who came this time should be a couple, but they’re both wearing masks, so I can’t see their true faces. The most important thing, the woman’s surname is Zhong.”

The previously calm Baili Hengyuan, upon hearing Baili Zhenhua’s words, dropped his teacup on the floor with a clear sound as the tea spilled everywhere.

However, at the moment, he had no time to consider the shattered teacup; he stared intently at Baili Zhenhua, “You said, a girl with the surname Zhong?”

“Um,” Baili Zhenhua nodded and then quickly said, “But I’ve tested her, and it seems she’s not that Zhong.”

Even after hearing Baili Zhenhua’s explanation, Baili Hengyuan didn’t feel reassured, shaking his head, he said, “It seems that I also have to find time to meet these two people who came this time.”

Baili Hengyuan didn’t say anything more.

Meanwhile, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao, who had returned to their guest room, were also discussing this matter.

Zhong Niangyao looked around and then said with a smile, “They wouldn’t have installed any listening devices or anything of the sort, right?”

“You’re thinking too much,” Lu Yichen stretched out his hand and ruffled Zhong Niangyao’s hair, smiling, “The people of the Baili Family aren’t foolish; they wouldn’t commit such a foolish act.”

That would be blatantly offensive! In that case, not only this exchange meeting, but also any in the future, wouldn’t include them.

“Alright!” Zhong Niangyao spread her hands, leaning back on the sofa, “I was just asking, but I do feel there’s something strange about the Baili Family.”

As if she remembered something, a cold light flashed in Zhong Niangyao’s eyes, “If I’m not mistaken, the room we passed by must be where Baili Le Yao lives.”

Lu Yichen nodded, “It seems the Baili Family truly cherishes Baili Le Yao. That room is definitely the best spot in the entire Baili Family.”

“Indeed, whether it’s the location or the Spiritual Energy, it’s the best,” Zhong Niangyao did not deny and added, “But, Housekeeper Bai’s demeanor was somewhat peculiar.”

Normally, since they were guests, it would be reasonable to greet the hosts.

Even if Baili Le Yao’s health was really poor, it shouldn’t exclude meeting guests altogether! Moreover, that room was very quiet, so quiet that it didn’t seem like someone was living there.

“Learning from others can never replace seeing for yourself,” Lu Yichen suggested with a smile, “If you really want to know, let’s go and check out that room tonight.”

Zhong Niangyao blinked her eyes, incessantly nodding, “Mmm, I think your suggestion is very good. But–”

“If we just show up like this, would we scare Baili Le Yao? And if things blow up, wouldn’t that negatively impact the special department?”

“Don’t worry, it’ll be fine,” Lu Yichen assured with a smile, “If I couldn’t handle such a minor issue, how could I dare to call myself your fiance?”

Looking at Lu Yichen’s demeanor, Zhong Niangyao smiled and nodded, “Okay then, my dear fiance, I’ll leave this all to you.”

At night, once everyone had gone to rest, Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao also left their guest room.

Despite being secluded here, this Hidden Family was not completely isolated, so there were cameras in the hallways.

However, Zhong Niangyao directly applied a few talismans and concealed their figures. The two of them smoothly arrived at Baili Le Yao’s room.

Lu Yichen used a stream of Evil Qi to open the door without damaging the lock.
