Lin Yusheng looked at Jiang Ximin's back as she left, his face darkening. He then turned his gaze to Xu Lin, "It seems that you are not only a dog, but also a dog that is very loyal to Jiang Ximin."

Xu Lin's expression suddenly changed. "You... dare you insult me ​​again?"

Why is this woman always so unscrupulous in front of him?

In terms of status, he is at least the deputy chief guard of the Jiang family, while Lin Yusheng is just a beggar who stays in the Jiang family to eat and drink for free!

"Why shouldn't I dare? You don't think you're that powerful, do you?" Lin Yusheng's eyes were filled with mockery. "As the deputy chief of the Jiang family's guards, you can't even beat me. I don't know how you got to this position today, and you still have the nerve to act so arrogantly?"

"Who said I can't beat you..." Xu Lin was so angry that he was about to attack.

"Okay, Xu Lin, stop messing around." Jiang Xiran couldn't help but say, "If you don't want this to get to Aunt Cixi."

Xu Lin stopped when he heard Jiang Cixi's name.

Jiang Xiran turned to look at Lin Yusheng and said, "Jiang Ximin had Xu Lin lock you up with Baihu and not bring him any food. His original intention was to let Baihu, in his manic phase, eat you when he was extremely hungry. But he didn't expect you and Baihu to get along so well."

Hearing this, Lin Yusheng curled his lips and said, "She is quite calculating."

"Lin Yusheng, Ximin had her hand bitten off, and she's been feeling bad. She's too paranoid, and I'm afraid she'll always hold a grudge against you. You'd better be... careful in the future."

That was all Jiang Xiran could say.

"I know, thank you for reminding me."

Lin Yusheng looked at the kind-looking girl. When she was shot by Jiang Ximin, it was this girl who pressed the wound, stopped the bleeding, and called someone to take her to the hospital.

She seems different from Jiang Ximin and the others.

"Your name is Jiang Xiran? Are you the granddaughter of the Second Elder Jiang?"

Jiang Xiran nodded, "Yeah."

Lin Yusheng and Jiang Xiran left the cave together and walked towards the castle.

"Why did Aunt Cixi let you live here?" Jiang Xiran couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

"I'm not from your side. One of the things Jiang Cixi lost was related to me, and the person I'm looking for might be related to her, so I'm staying here and waiting for Jiang Cixi to recover her memory."

Jiang Xiran suddenly realized, "So, you might know Aunt Cixi?"

No wonder Aunt Cixi let her live here.

Lin Yusheng shook his head, "I don't know either."

As far as she could remember, she had never met Jiang Cixi, but her master and Jiang Cixi must have a close relationship.

"It seems we'll have to wait until Auntie regains her memory to find out."

Lin Yusheng and Jiang Xiran walked together for a while, but her room and Jiang Xiran's room were on opposite sides of the castle, so they said goodbye halfway and went their separate ways.

Lin Yusheng stepped into the hall and saw Jiang Cixi still sitting on the main seat as usual, with the same posture as an ancient empress dowager.

There was a person kneeling in front of her.

Judging from his attire, he looks like a killer.

At first, Lin Yusheng thought that the killer was Jiang Cixi's own man, until she saw Jiang Cixi's eyes change. Her pupils suddenly turned abyssal black, like a whirlpool. Lin Yusheng felt dizzy after just one look.

The familiar feeling came again, and sure enough, the next second the man in black was hypnotized and committed suicide with the dagger in his hand.

Blood sprayed all over the floor.

Jiang Cixi regained her composure and then turned her gaze to Lin Yusheng. Seeing Lin Yusheng's stunned expression, Jiang Cixi said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. This is the 121st person who wants to assassinate me."

Lin Yusheng: “…”

Soon someone dragged the body of the man in black away and the floor was scrubbed clean, as if nothing had happened here.

Jiang Cixi pressed her temples, "Where did you go? Why are you back now?"

"I went to see Bai Xue." Lin Yusheng said truthfully.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew. Before Lin Yusheng could see clearly, the masked man he had seen before flashed out from outside and stood in front of Jiang Cixi. He said quickly, "Miss Cixi, there's a clue about Hua Ji!"

Jiang Cixi raised her eyes suddenly when she heard this, and her hands on the armchair clenched unconsciously, "Where is she?"

"Someone said they saw her in Canghai City, but... I don't know if this news is true or not."

"We'll leave the day after tomorrow and go to Canghai City."

"Yes."

Jiang Cixi kept repeating Hua Ji's name, her expression becoming uglier and uglier, with a hint of hatred in her eyes.

"Who is Hua Ji?" Lin Yusheng asked.

Jiang Cixi glanced at Lin Yusheng, but didn't think she shouldn't ask. She just said coldly: "Hua Ji, she is from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall and is also the number one hypnotist."

"Number one hypnotist?" Lin Yusheng was curious. "Could it be that your ability can't even be called number one?"

She always thought that since the Jiang family was the head of the seven major families, Jiang Cixi, as the person in charge of the Jiang family, should be the most powerful person.

Jiang Cixi shook her head, "When it comes to hypnosis, I'm not as good as Hua Ji."

"The seven great clans are just families with strong backgrounds and close ties to the royal family. However, it does not mean that all the powerful ancient warriors and hypnotists are in the seven great clans."

"There are many other powerful organizations outside of the family. They do not serve any family and are completely independent. They are their own factions. Among them are many top ancient warriors and hypnotists. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall is a powerful organization led by four top ancient warriors and two top hypnotists."

Lin Yusheng understood and looked at her thoughtfully, "Then what do you want to do with Hua Ji?"

Jiang Cixi didn't answer her question, but instead asked, "Aren't you curious why you've lived in this castle for so long but never met my parents?"

Lin Yusheng thought about it carefully, "It seems so, so where are your parents?"

"Dead." Jiang Cixi said.

Lin Yusheng was stunned.

Jiang Cixi narrowed her eyes and fell into reminiscence, "My father and mother were brutally murdered by the people of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."

"Four years ago, when my father was still the head of the Jiang family, the Great Elder clashed with my father over the distribution of interests. He then colluded with the people from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall and joined forces with them to kill my parents."

"My father was a powerful ancient warrior, and my mother was a very capable hypnotist. Furthermore, our family had several elders of extraordinary strength. Yet, even so, the castle was looted by the people of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. My father died right here where I sit now, his hands and feet severed, his eyes wide open. My mother even had her heart dug out by Hua Ji of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall herself."

"That Flower Princess has a very disgusting habit. Anyone who dies at her hands will have their heart dug out, and Flower Princess will eat every heart she digs out raw."

Lin Yusheng: "...So disgusting?"
