Chapter 1412: Chapter 1412: Grand Old Master Chen, What a Coincidence

"Is Ling’er really from the Ghost Clan?"

Her hands were clenched tightly as well, as she looked at the receding figure of Ling’er and murmured involuntarily.

Lin Caisang naturally wouldn’t tell her whether Ling’er was a person of the Ghost Clan; she was just worried, afraid that Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo would confront Ling’er without her permission, so she stealthily followed Lin Caisang, hoping to overhear something.

Unexpectedly, she heard Lin Caisang talking to herself in her room, saying that the pastry Ling’er had given her actually contained corpse nurturing herb!

Although she didn’t know what corpse nurturing herb was, just by hearing the name, she could guess the implication, right?

Since returning to her own room, she had been recalling, recalling over and over...

When had Ling’er started making this pastry for her?

And when had it started, that from finding the pastry delicious, she came to eat it for three meals a day, almost exclusively, losing interest in all other foods?

It seemed...

It appeared...

Perhaps...

It was from that night two years ago when the Old Master Chen had punched her several times and then kicked her into the corner, causing her head to hit the wall and bleed profusely.

The next day, when she faintly awoke, Ling’er had brought her this pastry.

At that time, she wondered why Ling’er would bring her a dish of pastries instead of cooking her chicken soup, or bringing her medicine, considering she couldn’t even get out of bed after being beaten?

Could it be that from that moment, she had already become...

The thought that she might no longer be human sent shivers down her spine.

And thinking back to every time Ling’er brought the pastries to her, urging her to eat quickly and not starve, her stomach churned with nausea, almost to the point of throwing up.

"Ugh~"

Taking a deep breath, she straightened her bent waist and slowly walked towards the door.

...

Meanwhile, Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo quickly found an old servant who had once served Old Master Chen and inquired about the events from two years ago.

"So that’s how it is..."

"Cough cough!"

Just as they had connected all the dots, a feigned coughing sound suddenly came from behind them.

Lin Caisang swiftly turned around and saw Grand Old Master Chen with his white hair, standing right behind them.

The servant, seeing Grand Old Master Chen, scurried away like a rat encountering a cat, taking advantage of Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo’s distraction.

"Grand Old Master Chen, what a coincidence."

Lin Caisang looked at Grand Old Master Chen with a forced smile.

"Young Master Ya, Miss Lin, our Chen Family’s affairs do not require your concern. Please leave us," Grand Old Master Chen said coldly, his gaze filled with unfriendliness as he stared at the two.

He had not wanted to offend these two who had emerged from Wuzhu Forest.

But, seeing that in just a few days, these two had unearthed their Chen Family’s secrets, he had no choice but to urge them to leave.

"Oh, is that so?"

Lin Caisang raised her hand, resting her chin on it, with a mocking look in her eyes as she stared at Grand Old Master Chen.

"That’s truly unfortunate. If our employer were Grand Old Master Chen, we would certainly pack up and leave right away, such a pity, our employer isn’t you, Grand Old Master Chen."

After speaking, she even let out a snort of laughter.

"You—"

Grand Old Master Chen truly felt enraged by her.

His hand clenched behind his back, he nearly lashed out at Lin Caisang.
