She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 406 - 405: How are you worthy of calling me?

Song Huaxu actually died just like that?

Yan Wanqing felt as if in a dream, she couldn’t help but walk to the edge of the cliff, looking down at the deep abyss with a lingering fear in her heart.

Is it really over?

What did Song Huaxu mean by his last words?

For some reason, Yan Wanqing always felt that things were not yet finished.

She clutched her chest, staring into the abyss.

Just then, a cry of alarm came from behind her, "Brother-in-law!"

Xiao Pingfeng?!

Yan Wanqing turned around swiftly, to see Xiao Pingfeng, who had been fine just moments before, suddenly spewing a large mouthful of blood, then staggering backward and falling.

Yan Wanqing’s eyes widened, she quickly moved to his side, catching him in her arms, "Xiaoliu!"

Yan Lingzhen ran over and took Xiao Pingfeng’s pulse.

"There’s no, no harm," Xiao Pingfeng said weakly, trying to comfort Yan Wanqing in his weakened state.

Yan Wanqing’s attractive brows furrowed tightly, "At a time like this, you’re still thinking of me, how foolish!"

By this time Yan Lingzhen had taken a good pulse, "His pulse is very erratic. Sister, brother-in-law’s internal organs must have suffered serious injuries, we need to find a place to settle down and treat him immediately."

"Someone, carry the Crown Prince into the Temple, Hongzhao you stay behind to deal with these disciples of the Divine Church of Light," Yan Wanqing made a decisive arrangement.

"Yes, Sister!" Yan Hongzhao immediately responded.

Only after her sister and the Crown Prince had left did she slowly retract her gaze.

With Xiaoliu, the Divine Doctor, there, Shen Shuyun and the Crown Prince wouldn’t be in danger.

As she turned around, she was suddenly approached by a large looming shadow.

Ghost Face spoke in a gentle and quiet voice, "Boss, why do you call that person Sister?"

Yan Hongzhao raised an eyebrow, "Because she is my sister."

That time she only had enough time to introduce Xiaoliu to them. Her sister had never shown her face to them before, so it was normal they didn’t recognize her.

Ghost Face felt in his heart that these recent days had been somewhat erratic.

In the past, they’d been involved only in fighting and killing, as commoners and wanderers of the martial world.

But these past few days had been about the Crown Prince, the Sect Hierarch of the Divine Church of Light, even entangling with the late Emperor, statuses and identities far beyond the reach of them common folks.

Everyone had entrusted him to come ask their boss, wanting to know exactly what her identity was.

"Boss, there’s something I’m not sure if it’s appropriate to ask?" A huge man, fidgeting and twisting his fingers nervously.

Yan Hongzhao gestured for her subordinates to disarm those disciples and lock them up. Ghost Face kept hovering in front of her, prompting her to speak up impatiently.

"Then don’t ask."

Ghost Face grew even more nervous with her brusque tone, finally threw caution to the wind, closed his eyes, and blurted out, "Boss, what is your background? Today, the brothers have encountered people they’ve never met before, and naturally, they’re very curious about your identity. If you won’t tell us, we won’t ask further, but all of us lived lives licking blood off our knives, and we are very wary of the high-handed scheming of those in power. No one wants to become a tool in someone else’s hands without knowing it!"

Looking at him resigning to his fate.

Yan Hongzhao let out a cold laugh.

Without saying another word, she took out a jade pendant from her bosom and thrust it into his hand, then walked off briskly.

Ghost Face only felt something in his hand, hastily opened his eyes.

The jade pendant, smooth as jade and shining softly, was obviously well-maintained by its owner.

He looked at it carefully.

It bore a prominent "Yan" character.

Yan... Capital City, and related to the Crown Prince.

It must be none other than the Township Manor House of the Capital City.

The boss said she was the fifth in her family...

Ghost Face swallowed nervously.

At this moment, the other bandits gathered around: "How did the questioning go? What’s with that ghostly expression on your face!"

Sweat trickled down the forehead of the bandit known as Ghost Face.

"Boss... it’s the fifth young mistress of the Township Manor, and her elder sister is Princess Anping..." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

The lips of Ghost Face were puckered, and the next second, tears were about to fall.

"Before, I thought if boss was just a young mistress from an ordinary scholarly family, I could maybe be worthy of her if I lost some weight and tried hard. But now that she turns out to be a young mistress from the Township Manor, how could I be her match!"

With a choked voice, he clenched the jade pendant in his hand, pushed through the crowd, and sprinted away.

The others exchanged puzzled looks.

"Who could have seen this coming..."

"Yeah, of all people for Gentle Ghost to fall for, it had to be the boss. Just one glance at her and you can tell she’s not from an ordinary family."

"You’re playing the wise after the event. As for the boss, it’s probably hopeless. We should talk to Gentle Ghost instead. There are so many women in the world, no need to hang his heart on the boss, who’s like an unblooming iron tree."

A few of them couldn’t help but sigh. These matters of great figures were not for them to handle, but knowing Yan Hongzhao’s identity brought them some peace of mind.

Since she was from the Township Manor, she had to be loyal and righteous. Yan Hongzhao had treated them well on regular days, and following such a boss, they felt reassured.

"Disperse, disperse, get back to work. These disciples are sinister and cunning, all with blood on their hands. Remember not to be soft-hearted!"

...

Shen Shuyun’s injuries were not as severe as Xiao Pingfeng’s; she woke up after being unconscious for half a day.

Xiao Pingfeng, however, remained unconscious for three full days.

During those three days, Yan Wanqing did not leave his side, no matter who tried to persuade her.

The two Yan sisters were extremely anxious.

"Today is the fourth day. If my brother-in-law doesn’t recover, I really have to resort to drastic measures. My sister cannot endure this much longer." Yan Lingzhen clenched her little fists as she spoke.

Yan Hongzhao glanced at her: "Would you dare?"

"I wouldn’t dare," Yan Lingzhen deflated, thinking about Yan Wanqing’s temperament, and her fists lost their vigor: "I’m scared."

Her cowardice was well-justified.

Yan Hongzhao helplessly shook her head; she sighed deeply, "If not, then I’ll do it. In a while, I’ll knock her out and carry her away, then I’ll go into hiding to avoid the backlash. When my sister wakes up and can’t find me, she’ll have nobody to vent on. You and I will contact each other by carrier pigeon. Once her anger subsides, I’ll come back."

The more she thought about it, the more Yan Hongzhao felt this plan was reliable.

The two sisters sat on the steps outside the door, chatting back and forth.

Completely unaware that the person in question was looking down at them with arms crossed from above.

After discussing back and forth, Yan Lingzhen nodded: "Let’s do it your way then. Right now, Sister Shen and my brother-in-law still need my medical attention, I can’t afford to ruin the relationship, so the hardship will fall on you, Fifth Sister. Take care of yourself out there, Xiaoliu will miss you."

Yan Hongzhao gave her a hearty pat on the shoulder: "It’s no big deal, really just a trifle."

Having settled on a plan, the two stood up, patted the dust off their clothes, and as they turned around—

"Sister!"

"Sister..."

Seeing the situation, they must have heard everything. The heavens were against them!

Just as the atmosphere grew tense, and the two sisters didn’t know what to say—

Yan Wanqing raised an eyebrow at them: "Come inside, he’s awake."

Yan Lingzhen immediately rushed inside, while Yan Hongzhao, fearing she would be targeted, quickly ran after her.

Watching their flustered retreat, Yan Wanqing curved her lips in a smile: "Run slower, I won’t bite."

Those two little rascals, actually thinking about how to knock me out—such audacity!

Hearing her voice, Yan Hongzhao ran even faster.

It was terrifying, utterly terrifying!

Such a sister was too frightful! Wuu wuu wuu, she was more terrifying than someone who eats people!
