C13 (1/2)

I cursed silently in my heart. You old lady, you are a harming person, causing Dad and I to look neither like a human nor a ghost, our Wu family is even more miserable, today we captured you to be acting on behalf of the heavens.

The Grand Matriarch didn't think too much about it. Taking advantage of the dark night to walk, how could she know that the trap I dug was right in front of us?

When I saw a slender figure standing near the trap, I used my flashlight to shine on it. It turned out to be Soo Soo.

I wondered if the trap had failed because it was meant to catch the old woman. Why would Soo Soo who was standing on top of it appear to be unharmed? Strange!

The Grand Matriarch also saw Soo Soo. She was a little nervous as she grabbed her back with her right hand. With a whoosh, she grabbed a piece of wood from her back. I shone the flashlight on it. It looked like a treasured sword made of wood.

The black treasured sword seemed real, and when the light from the flashlight shone on it, it looked like it was shining on metal. The dazzling light made me blink.

The Grand Preceptor's voice was hoarse as he said, ”Soo Soo, you are now a dead man. There is a difference between life and death, so why must you persist? ”Hurry back to where you came from.”

Soo Soo stood in place without moving or speaking. Her stiff expression was like that of a puppet. With a plop, her delicate body fell onto the trap.

My heart sinks. Could it be that Soo Soo is sick?

Soo Soo!

It was a heart-wrenching scream.

Just as I was about to run over to see what was going on, the Grand Matriarch stopped me in my tracks. She pointed her sturdy wooden sword at my chest.

”Don't go over. Be careful of a trap.” As the Grand Matriarch spoke, she moved closer. Naturally, she wanted to see what was going on. Holding onto the wooden sword, she walked up to Soo Soo. Clearly, one of her feet had already stepped on the wooden board of the trap.

But I wondered how the old lady could have kept her feet. Was it my trap that had failed?

Just as she was feeling suspicious, Soo Soo suddenly stood up. She did not leave the position of turning over the board. Instead, she stood firmly on it.

Soo Soo's face was expressionless. She stared at the Grand Matriarch from head to toe, looking as calm and collected as ever.

”You old lady, you are still dishonest even when you have reached the prime of your life. Do you find it interesting to come here and harm others? Give me my things or I won't let you go. ”

I don't know why, but I feel that Soo Soo's words are a little forceful. It seems to be different from the impression I had of her from before.

Of course, the Grand Matriarch didn't make a move. She really wanted to know what had happened, but her expression was still as natural as ever.

The Grand Matriarch raised the wooden sword and said, ”Soo Soo, I advise you to turn around quickly. If you continue, be careful that you may never reincarnate.”

Damn it! Why did this old lady say such bad things about Soo Soo?

Just as I was cursing in my heart, Soo Soo flashed me a coquettish smile. Her innocent expression made her look like an adorable child. At this moment, there was a loud boom. For some reason, the trap suddenly flipped over.

With a clang, the Grand Matriarch's body suddenly disappeared from my sight, and the upper layer immediately closed again.

I was overjoyed and quickly ran over to check. Soo Soo had already jumped out.

Was Soo Soo a ghost? How else could she be standing in the middle of the flip? But when I thought about it, I was still too nervous. After all, the flip was a movable board, and in the middle of it was a stick that acted as an axle, so of course I wouldn't fall off when I stood on the axle.

I opened the flip panel and looked down. The light from the flashlight was shining into the pit, and some of the water had seeped out of the pit. The grandma was lying in the water with her eyes closed.

I was elated. I didn't expect to be able to get rid of that damnable old lady so quickly. Soo Soo was naturally very happy as she smiled charmingly at me.
