Inside the secret room, Wei Qing, Wei Xue, and I stood in a stalemate. The air seemed frozen, only the sound of our rapid breathing echoing in our ears. I clutched the system interface tightly, as if it were a drowning man's last straw. Wei Qing and Wei Xue, one on each side, stared greedily at the ball of light in my hand, like hungry wolves spotting their prey, ready to pounce and tear it apart.

"Sister, stop struggling. You can't beat us." Wei Xue sneered and approached me step by step, with undisguised malice in her tone.

"Hand it over, maybe I can let you die more quickly." There was a fierce light in Wei Qing's eyes, and the sharp blade in her hand was shining with a cold light, as if it would pierce my heart in the next second.

I gritted my teeth, my heart filled with anger and resentment. Was I really going to sit there and wait for death? No, I would never give in!

At this moment, the stone door of the secret room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a tall figure appeared at the doorway, blocking the light from outside. The person who came in was aggressive, with a face full of disdain and ridicule. It was Wei Qing's loyal pursuer - Hao Shuang.

"Hey, isn't this our eldest daughter? How did you end up like this?" Hao Shuang said sarcastically, his eyes scanning me and finally landing on the system interface I was holding against my chest. A trace of greed flashed in his eyes, "What kind of treasure is this? Take it out and show it to me!"

"Hao Shuang, why are you here?" Wei Qing saw Hao Shuang, a flash of surprise in her eyes, then quickly regained her composure, with a hint of coquettishness in her tone, "You're late, this bitch got a treasure from nowhere, and we were just about to teach her a lesson!"

"Oh? There's such a thing?" Hao Shuang raised his eyebrows, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, and turned to look at me with a threatening tone, "If you know what's good for you, hand over the things quickly, otherwise..."

My heart sank, a wave of despair washed over me. Three people, three directions, I had no way to escape. They all came for this system, for this opportunity that could change my fate.

I closed my eyes in despair, and the tragic ending of Wei Yao in the book emerged in my mind. Could it be that I could not escape the tricks of fate after all?

No, I can't give up! Even if there's only a glimmer of hope, I'll fight with all my might!

I suddenly opened my eyes, staring firmly at the three people in front of me, took a deep breath, and slowly raised the system interface in my hand...

"Don't even think about it!" I gritted my teeth, pinning my last shred of hope on the system. My mind frantically scanned the system interface, trying to find any function that could help me escape. Defense, where is the defense?!

The system interface flashed rapidly at my command, various functions appearing alternately, but I still couldn't find what I was looking for. Damn, why is this system so complicated!

"Don't waste your energy!" Wei Xue sneered, and suddenly a dagger flashing with cold light appeared in her hand, stabbing towards me.

I instinctively dodged sideways, the dagger slicing past my arm, leaving a trail of blood. Without time to feel the pain, I frantically operated the system, my heart filled with anxiety.

"Stop!" Hao Shuang roared, and a fierce palm wind came towards me. I couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the chest. I flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Puff—" A mouthful of blood spurted out of my mouth, staining the ground red. I struggled to get up, but I felt weak all over and my consciousness began to blur.

"Sister, are you okay?" Wei Qing walked forward hypocritically, her eyes full of mockery, "Stop struggling, you can't beat us."

I shook my head helplessly, my vision blurring. All I could see was the text on the system interface flashing, but I was powerless to do anything. Am I really going to die here? I won't accept this!

At this moment, Hao Shuang snatched the system interface from my hand, staring greedily at the light on it, and laughed arrogantly: "Hahaha, it's really a case of searching for something without any effort! With this treasure, I can..."

Before Hao Shuang could finish his words, the system interface suddenly erupted with a blinding light, sending him flying. I endured the excruciating pain and opened my eyes, only to see a new message pop up on the system interface: "The host is detected to be in danger. Do you want to activate the hidden function?"

Hidden function? What was it? A glimmer of hope ignited in my heart, and I desperately tried to see the following content clearly, but my vision became increasingly blurry, and my consciousness gradually fell into darkness...

"What is this?!" Wei Qing's sharp exclamation came to my ears. My hands fell limply, and she snatched the system interface away. "Hahaha, God is really helping me!"

My consciousness gradually faded, and I could only vaguely hear Wei Qing's arrogant laughter, which stung my eardrums like sharp needles. Was I really going to die here? I couldn't accept this, I couldn't accept this!

Just when I thought everything was over, the system interface suddenly erupted with an even stronger light. Wei Qing screamed in surprise and frantically let go of my hand. Summoning my last bit of strength, I strained my eyes wide, only to see a line of golden text appear on the system interface: "High-level energy fluctuations detected, coordinates..."

My heart trembled. Could it be... Before I could take a closer look, the golden text in front of me was obscured by a shadow. Wei Qing snatched the system interface with a greedy smile on her face: "What is this? Hahaha, it seems that God is helping me!"

I looked at Wei Qing in despair. She was smugly scrolling through the system interface, not noticing the hatred in my eyes. My body grew colder and colder, my consciousness blurred, and the world before me gradually turned dark.

"Sister, just go with peace of mind." Wei Qing's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the depths of hell. "From now on, I am the most honored person in the Wei family. I will take good care of your things and your man for you."

I closed my eyes helplessly, my heart aching. Was I really going to watch her take away everything from me?

At this moment, I felt someone gently shaking my body, and an anxious voice came to my ear: "Yao'er, Yao'er, how are you?"

who is it?

I tried to open my eyes, but all I could see was a blur of light and shadow. Who was speaking in my ear? Who was caring about me?

"Yao'er, wake up!" The voice became clearer and clearer, with a hint of trembling and worry, "You can't be in trouble, you can't leave me alone..."

This voice... sounds so familiar... who is it?

"Hao Shuang, get out of here!" Wei Qing's sharp roar came from his ears. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You want to take advantage of this opportunity? No way!"

Hao Shuang? Why is he here?

I struggled to open my eyes and see everything clearly, but my eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and I couldn't open them.

"Wei Qing, do you still have any conscience?!" Hao Shuang's voice was filled with anger and heartache. "Yao'er has become what she is now because of you, and you still have the nerve to show off here?!"

"You..." Wei Qing was furious, but unable to refute.

I felt a warm hand holding mine, and a powerful force passed through his hand into my body. My consciousness gradually returned, and the world in front of me gradually became clear.

I saw Hao Shuang's anxious face, the worry and self-blame in his eyes, and the firmness and strength in his grip on my hand.

"Yao'er, how do you feel?" Hao Shuang's voice was a little hoarse, but full of concern.

I opened my mouth, trying to speak, but no sound came out. My throat was dry and unbearable, as if it were burning with fire.

"Don't talk, take a rest first." Hao Shuang gently helped me up and let me lean on his arms. "I will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you again."

I leaned weakly on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and an inexplicable sense of security surged in my heart.

"Hao Shuang..." I finally found my voice and spoke weakly, "The system interface... was blocked by Wei Qing..."

Before I could finish my words, Hao Shuang interrupted me: "I know, don't worry, I will help you get it back."

His tone was firm and confident, as if he had everything under control. I looked up and looked into his eyes, a glimmer of hope igniting in my heart.

"But..." I wanted to say something, but I didn't know what to say.

Hao Shuang looked at me, her eyes gentle but firm: "Believe me, Yao'er."

I looked at him, nodded, and placed all my hopes on him.

"Okay." I said softly, "I believe you."

Hao Shuang's lips curled up slightly, revealing a relieved smile. He stood up, gently placed me on the ground, then turned around and looked at Wei Qing with cold eyes.

"Wei Qing, return the system interface to Yao'er." Hao Shuang's voice was icy cold, like a judgment from hell.

Wei Qing looked at Hao Shuang, a flash of panic in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down, sneered, and said, "Hao Shuang, don't forget, you can't even protect yourself right now, and you still dare to act like a hero here?"

"I can't even protect myself?" Hao Shuang snorted coldly, "I want to see who can't protect himself today!"

After saying that, he suddenly rushed towards Wei Qing...
