503 Revelation (2/2)
”That's right.”
”Let me tell you, tonight will be different! Furthermore, do you know about your 'birth'?”
Tantai Jueqing leaned towards Fang Yuan and started to whisper into his ear.
Although the entire act was seductive, thinking about how Fang Yuan was still a 5-year-old kid made it seem inappropriate. Fang Yuan could only roll his eyes inside.
”My birth?”
He acted as though he was confused.
”Your parents, they hate you! Especially your mother... pay her a visit.”
Tantai Jueqing chuckled. ”Are you not confused as to why she does not visit you frequently? Go pay her a visit. You know the location of her house...”
'This woman!?'
Fang Yuan's pupils contracted and his face remained emotionless. 'Is she cursing me? To try to take control over me?'
”It's successful!”
Gazing at the puppet-like Fang Yuan, Tantai Jueqing was elated. ”Go! Go and pay Su Xin a visit and retrieve the red scissors for me!”
”Pa!”
In the next instant, her wrist was being held tightly by Fang Yuan. ”Although I don't know what you are trying to do, I'm sure you have ill intentions! Unfortunately, I don't want to continue playing with you!”
At this point in time, in his stats window, the words which represented his Unique Physical Property started to glow.
”Screech!”
Although her wrist was being held by a child's hand, Tantai Jueqing's face was filled with extreme pain.
Dark purple streaks started to spread from her wrist as though she was experiencing frostbite.
”Shing!”
A knife flashed past as Tantai Jueqing severed her entire arm. At her wound, the blood froze up and did not drop a single bit.
”It seems like... I've underestimated you!”
Tantai Jueqing snickered. ”What do you want to do? Kill me?”
”I don't have such a plan. I only want to leave this place...”
Fang Yuan sighed.
He was determined to leave this place since the encounter with the ghost.
Such a scary ghost was not something he could deal with right now. Furthermore, looking at how things were, the ritual at night might be troublesome.
Considering his current abilities, every outcome seemed like it would be disadvantageous to him. Therefore, leaving was the best plan.
He could slowly explore the secrets of this family after he had grown up.
”This has always been what you wanted from the start, right?”
”That's right! I wanted to screw up the preparations of the family and that's why I'm convincing you to leave. Otherwise, it would also be good if you could encounter that thing in the Hall of Sacrifice as well! However, now, my mind is changed.” Tantai Jueqing gazed at Fang Yuan. ”I want to tell you the truth!”
”Shut up!”
The door was struck open. Tantai Juexin, Tantai Guijing and a few other elders rushed into the room. ”Jueqing, what do you think you are doing?”
”Keke... I've had enough of all of you. Why am I subjected to your control since birth? Like a mere puppet of the family?”
Tantai Jueqing started to laugh hysterically. ”Now, I want to screw all of these up, because... I want to! Tantai Mieming, do hear me carefully. You...”
”Ding!”
A knife struck towards Tantai Jueqing, only to be obstructed in mid-air.
Fang Yuan had long observed Tantai Juexin's knife techniques and started to speak with a cold tone. ”Let her continue!”
”As my elder brother, you don't even care about me!”
Tantai Jueqing spoke with a deadly tone. ”The truth is that... you are not human! You are an 'existence' created by the Tantai Family's curse. Your birth resulted in the death of an innocent child's soul! You possessed his body!”
”So... this is the truth!”
Fang Yuan mumbled under his breath. He had already thought about this and Tantai Jueqing had merely proved his predictions.
The curse which the Tantai Family had been suffering from was indeed the more powerful amongst curses. To deal with ghosts, one could only use ghosts!
Therefore, the Tantai Family had always been conducting secret experiments. Finally, when Tantai Juexin's wife was about to give birth, a few elders of the family had sacrificed their lives to curse the unborn baby and thereby calling a true evil ghost into the baby's body in an attempt to create a tool to resist against the curse on the family!
The evil ghost would go on to possess the baby's body as a 'human' and exist in the world. From there, the ghost would be controlled by the family!
The reason why Tantai Mieming's mother, Su Xin had hated Fang Yuan and did not care for him was because Fang Yuan was not her son, but the murderer of her son!
This was why Tantai Juexin had felt conflicted all along!
Why was the Tantai Family so scared of Fang Yuan? Why would Qiu Liang want to kill Tantai Mieming with the cursed red scissors? This was because, in their eyes, Tantai Mieming was just a... ghost!
”This is the truth, great!”
Fang Yuan clapped his hands and revealed a wide grin.
”You...”
This expression was not what Tantai Jueqing had expected.
”Do you expect me to break down and become crazy, or start a killing spree?”
Calmly, Fang Yuan continued. ”To me, this is a good thing. At least I don't have to feel sorry!”
If Fang Yuan had reincarnated as someone else's child, there would be consequences.
Now, even his parents were treating him like a powerful ghost and a murderer. They had no feelings for him and therefore, Fang Yuan felt less restricted to do what he wanted to do.
He could also leave the family without hesitation.
”But, where did the ghost which they had summoned go to? Has it escaped? Could something go wrong during the ritual? Or...”
Fang Yuan thought about all the possibilities as a chill went down his spine.
