Chapter 758: 758 Cleaning Up the Transcendent Woman [2nd Update]

He stood silently in the shadows at the doorway, watching her quietly, for an unknown amount of time.

"..."

The Transcendent Woman felt as if her world had been shattered, thunderbolts exploding beside her ears, leaving her mind completely blank.

It was as if she had suddenly fallen into a world of ice and snow, with her entire body frozen, even her blood seemed to have stopped flowing.

When did Si Qingyin arrive, and how long had he been there?

Did he hear what I said?

If he did, wouldn’t she be...?

"B-Big Brother, why are you here?" The Transcendent Woman bit her lip, forcing a smile, "I just wanted to know why they want to kill me, so I came to take a look, w-why did you follow me?"

She appeared weak on the surface, yet her heart was already burning with murderous intent.

If Si Qingyin also knew her secret, then she must get rid of him too.

Doing so would mean that within the Si Clan Patriarch’s faction, there would only be one direct lineage heir left—her—which was actually beneficial for her.

Si Qingyin did not answer, but kept looking at her steadily.

The Transcendent Woman’s palms were sweaty, and a chilling sensation spread across her back.

Just as her spirit was about to collapse, Si Qingyin finally stepped forward, took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulders, saying with a gentle voice, "Your health isn’t good, and I’m ultimately still worrying about you coming to a place like this alone."

"Big Brother is overthinking things." The Transcendent Woman finally relaxed, "I’ll only stay for a while, nothing will happen."

"That can’t be guaranteed." Si Qingyin’s gaze met Ye Wanlan’s, and then he inconspicuously shifted it away, "They dared to attack you even within the Si Family; their malice is evident. The supreme court will judge them, and all you need to do is watch from the seats."

"Big Brother treats me the best." The Transcendent Woman beamed with joy, "I’ll go back to rest now, so you don’t have to worry about me."

"Hmm." Si Qingyin summoned a Hidden Guard, "Escort Miss Si back."

After ensuring there was truly no fourth person present in the temporary detention room, Si Qingyin gestured, sealing the door.

Ye Wanlan’s gaze had never wavered from beginning to end, her expression tranquil, as if nothing in the world could stir her emotions.

Si Qingyin walked up to her, as if using all his strength to ask each word: "Where is my sister?"

"Oh?" Ye Wanlan’s brows arched, "Young Master Si believes those nonsensical rumors?"

"They aren’t nonsensical rumors." Si Qingyin’s hands gradually tightened, "Though my sister is gentle and pampered, she is kind-hearted, and would never exhibit such a malicious demeanor."

Actually, earlier, during several interactions with Si Yanshu, he had felt an odd sensation, as if the person in front of him wasn’t his sister.

But such oddities disappeared quickly, and given that Si Yanshu almost never left home, who in the entire Global Center had the power to switch souls within the Si Family?

Si Qingyin hadn’t taken it to heart.

Until today, he finally confirmed that the oddities he’d noticed were indeed true.

Ye Wanlan and he exchanged gazes for a few seconds, then she suddenly smiled: "This time, she’s learned to be more discreet, not revealing her true nature before those close to her, but actually, even if she did, you’d likely just think Miss Si’s personality has drastically changed rather than believing her body was seized by another soul."

The highly cultivated Si Qingyin was still like this; what of ordinary people like Lin Huaijin and Lin Wenli?

Si Qingyin’s fists clenched harder, his voice hoarse: "Indeed, so, where is my sister?"

He turned his head away, afraid to hear Ye Wanlan’s answer.

He feared the answer would be something he couldn’t bear.

"Your sister is still around, but the situation isn’t good." Ye Wanlan said calmly, "Because this wandering spirit has used a certain ability to achieve a perfect 100% compatibility with your sister’s body. As long as she doesn’t voluntarily leave, your sister can’t return."

"Damn it!" Si Qingyin smashed his fist against the ground, veins bulging on his forearm, "How dare she!"

She was his sister, whom he had doted on since childhood. Si Yanshu indeed had her shortcomings, but she was pure-hearted—how did she end up facing this disaster?

"Therefore, Young Master Si’s help is needed." Ye Wanlan stared at him, "As long as this wandering spirit has to leave your sister’s body, then we’ll be fine."

Si Qingyin gritted his teeth: "How? As long as you can bring my sister back, whatever you want, my Si Family will give it to you."

"This is a Magic Artifact targeting souls, usable only by immediate blood relatives." Yue Zheng produced a golden wedge-shaped object, "With this present, her soul cannot remain undisturbed."

Si Qingyin took it, pondering slightly: "I understand, but I’ll need the help of the two of you."

"Naturally." Ye Wanlan said quietly, "My revenge, I will take personally."

Starting today, understand this revenge!

**

Here, at the Si Family.

The Transcendent Woman let out a deep breath when she lay down in bed: "That scared me to death, I thought Si Qingyin heard me, thank goodness, thank goodness, looks like I can’t let myself get too excited and reveal this matter."

As soon as those two members of the Su Family are dead, she’ll be able to rest easy from now on.

The Transcendent Woman closed her eyes and soon sank into slumber.

Who knows how long passed—

"Young Master." The Si Housekeeper said respectfully, "Miss Si has already been asleep for an hour."

"Alright." Si Qingyin said softly, "You may leave. I’ll go check on her."

The Si Housekeeper withdrew.

Si Qingyin pushed open the bedroom door, and his gaze toward the girl held no trace of warmth.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he attacked Si Yanshu with the Magic Artifact in his hand.

"Ah—!"

The Transcendent Woman felt as though a thousand Silver Needles had pierced her soul, the pain was unbearable, and she rolled off the bed.

Even when she was stopped by the previous Time Betrayer, she had never experienced such agony.

The Transcendent Woman struggled to open her eyes and saw the icy expression of Si Qingyin, feeling a chill in her heart.

Si Qingyin had indeed heard; he was acting all along!

Si Qingyin said coldly: "Get out of my sister’s body!"

"N-no way!" The Transcendent Woman’s lips were bloody from biting, "Si Qingyin, why, you actually conspired with them. But as long as I don’t admit it, even if the Si Family invites the people from the Heaven-reaching Tower, I am Si Yanshu. If you don’t believe me, let’s see whether our parents believe you or me!"

She should have eradicated Si Qingyin, this unstable factor, sooner. He was bound to be a disaster!

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother has gone mad!" At that moment, the Transcendent Woman screamed, "He’s trying to kill me and become your only heir. You must stop him!"

Si Qingyin’s murderous intent was real, but attacking only her soul evidently meant he was trying to force her out of Si Yanshu’s body.

But she refused to let him have his way!

"Qingyin! What are you doing?" Lady Si hurried over, scarcely able to believe her eyes, shouting angrily, "Little Shu has always admired you; how could you treat her like this? She won’t compete with you for power!"

Si Qingyin did not stop.

"Ah—!" The Transcendent Woman let out another heartrending scream, "It hurts, it hurts so much! Mom, save me!"

"Si Qingyin!" Lady Si was both shocked and furious, "What on earth is going on with you? Are you trying to rebel?"

"Mom, can’t you see by now that she’s not even Little Shu?" Si Qingyin asked coldly.
