Chapter 461

For the past three years, this was the first time Xin Wan'en had heard news of Xin Lanying.

But how could she be in the Flower Burial Ghost Mansion?

Sect Leader Cao Yongyu was her father’s murderer, and yet...

Xin Wan'en’s expression became somewhat dazed.

She didn’t know what to say.

Elder Dong Yuan of the Flower Burial Ghost Mansion continued speaking: “Even if we look across the entire Underworld, very few can catch our Sect Leader Cao’s eye. This is a rare opportunity for you, don’t waste it.”

“As long as you join the Flower Burial Ghost Mansion, you will be given a guest elder position.”

“By the time, considering your sister Xin Lanying is the Sect Leader’s wife, within a few years, the position of elder will be within your reach.”

“Why hesitate?”

Xin Wan'en’s eyes widened once more.

What did that mean? Xin Lanying was not only in the Flower Burial Ghost Mansion, but she was also the Sect Leader Cao Yongyu’s wife?

Impossible, this can’t be true!

Xin Wan'en abruptly stood up, her ghost energy surging.

The red flames suddenly flared up, completely covering the surrounding area.

Xin Wan'en coldly said, “Lies, everything you’re saying is a lie!”

“My sister Xin Lanying is gentle on the outside, but tough on the inside! She would never do something so unbecoming of a woman.”

Dong Yuan couldn’t help but scoff.

He softly said, “It seems like you don’t know your sister very well.”

“But it’s fine. If you really don’t believe it, you can come to the Flower Burial Ghost Mansion and see for yourself.”

“Then, the truth will be clear.”

“Alright, no more talking, the invitation has been made.”

“Looking forward to your arrival at the Flower Burial Ghost Mansion, Miss Xin.”

With that, Dong Yuan transformed into a puddle of water and slowly disappeared.

Xin Wan'en clasped her hands together, trying to keep him from leaving.

The red flames immediately gathered where Dong Yuan had been, but she was still a step too late.

Moments later.

Outside Chouyang City, on a tranquil lake, a ball of water suddenly began to rise without warning.

It eventually formed into Dong Yuan’s figure.

He turned around and sneered.

With extreme disdain, he said, “With such weak strength, you think you can keep me here? It’s just a dream!”

“The rumors are unreliable. In my opinion, the person who killed the Chu family’s ancestor couldn’t possibly be Xin Wan'en! She simply doesn’t have the strength.”

Just then.

Ye Yu’s figure suddenly appeared in front of him and softly said, “You guessed right, but there’s no reward.”

Dong Yuan’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he quickly retreated.

He asked in a deep voice, “Who are you?”

The current him was completely different from the relaxed state he had been in at the Xin family.

He was fully on guard, extremely wary.

The reason was simple: Dong Yuan was a water ghost, and his sensing ability was strongest in places with water.

But now, this person had silently appeared before him.

Such terrifying strength made him nervous.

Ye Yu stood with one hand behind his back, and淡淡ly said, “Who I am doesn’t matter. What matters is that my master doesn’t seem to want you to leave.”

“So, you’ll stay.”

Dong Yuan furrowed his brows slightly.

“Master?” He had heard that Xin Wan'en had taken a disciple before.

It seemed like an unskilled person.

But now, his ghost energy was far stronger than Xin Wan'en’s.

Now it seemed like the ancestor of ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) the Chu family was more likely to have been killed by him!

Damn, no matter who killed him.

The kid in front of him was definitely a dangerous figure!

Wind tightening, time to act!

Without hesitation, Dong Yuan immediately crouched low.

At the same time, he suddenly raised his hand.

The calm surface of the water erupted with intense shaking!

Massive water dragons shot out, roaring toward Ye Yu.

Taking advantage of this, Dong Yuan’s body turned back into a puddle of water and fell back into the lake.

He was preparing to flee!

Ye Yu’s finger lightly twirled, and in an instant.

The vast lake was engulfed in black flames.

The water dragons were instantly melted to nothing.

Soon after, painful howls could be heard from the lake’s bottom.

But Ye Yu’s face showed no signs of emotion.

He clenched his right fist.

The entire lake was suddenly evaporated.

Along with it, Dong Yuan, the water ghost.

After finishing all of this, Ye Yu’s thoughts moved, and he quickly made his way back to the Xin family.

When Xin Wan'en saw him, her expression became flustered, and she even started to stutter.

Ye Yu embraced her and softly comforted her, telling her everything was fine.

Dong Yuan had already been taken care of by him.

“Anyone who makes you unhappy has to die.”

In fact, by the time Xin Wan'en was about to finish talking to Dong Yuan, Ye Yu had already arrived.

He had heard most of it.

That’s why he had stopped Dong Yuan and eliminated him right away.

No ghost cultivator could leave after trying to mess with the Xin family.

Trying to deceive Xin Wan'en into going to the Flower Burial Ghost Mansion as a guest elder and eventually a sect elder?

That was just audacious!

A moment later, Xin Wan'en’s emotions had calmed slightly.

She asked, “Yu’er, do you think what Dong Yuan said was true?”

“Did Xin Lanying really join the Flower Burial Ghost Mansion? And become the Sect Leader’s wife?”

“How could she do such a thing? Or is there some kind of hidden reason behind it?”

Ye Yu softly replied, “Whether it’s true or not, we can send someone to check. As for any hidden reason, I don’t think so.”

“That woman, I’ve always thought she wasn’t a good person.”

Because Ye Yu had once been a disciple of Xin Wan'en.

He had spent a lot of time at the Xin residence.

He had met Xin Lanying many times.

How should he put it? This illegitimate daughter always acted harmless in front of everyone.

She even had great relationships with the people in the house.

But for some reason, Ye Yu just instinctively felt she was fake.

Maybe it was just his sixth sense.

If, as Dong Yuan said, Xin Lanying had really married Cao Yongyu and become the Sect Leader’s wife.

Without a doubt, there must be a reason behind it.

But if Xin Lanying was enduring it, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge for her father’s death.

Ye Yu didn’t believe it for a second.

However, Xin Wan'en was somewhat inclined to believe this idea.

After all, no matter what, Xin Lanying was her half-sister.

The death of their father had affected her deeply.

Perhaps she would make some surprising decisions.

After thinking for a moment, Xin Wan'en immediately spent a large sum to send people to inquire about the Sect Leader’s wife at the Flower Burial Ghost Mansion.

Two days later.

The news came, and everything was exactly as Dong Yuan had said.

Xin Lanying had really become Cao Yongyu’s wife.
