Chapter 750: Chapter 750 Miss Qin is not an ordinary person, she is bound to soar to the skies

Touched by the pitiful pleas that reached her ears, Qin Ruan felt momentarily sympathetic.

Gazing at Ling Xiaoxuan’s pained and twisted face, she steeled her heart and poured more Nether Power into her hands.

As the intensity of the Nether Divine Power augmented, so too did Ling Xiaoxuan’s suffering.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

A woeful shriek filled the air again, so chilling that it raised goosebumps on everyone present.

Song Qing, who had withstood the Hell-like rigors of Huo Family’s Hidden Guard’s training, found herself feeling a moment of pity for Ling Xiaoxuan.

But such pity lasted only for a fleeting moment.

With a furrowed brow, she stared at the obsidian bead on the black rubber band around her wrist. She toyed with it in silence, appearing unconcerned with the ongoing scene.

Qin Ruan’s delicate face was set in solemnity, her grip on Ling Xiaoxuan’s hand tightening.

She was nearly there; one final strike would disperse the doppelganger soul within the woman.

Of course, the cost of this, the expended Evil Qi, was also considerable.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Accompanied by another screech from Ling Xiaoxuan, Qin Ruan promptly released her hand, staggering back uncontrollably.

The billowing Evil Qi rushed at her, but at the very moment it was cast off, it dissipated into nothingness.

"Madam!"

Song Qing rushed over at breakneck speed.

She reached out to steady Qin Ruan by her waist.

Qin Ruan gently patted the arm that was holding her, speaking in a hushed voice, "I’m fine."

Song Qing quickly moved her hands away, standing quietly behind her.

Collapsed on the sofa, Ling Xiaoxuan appeared pallid, her breathing faint and labored as her eyes remained tightly shut—almost in a deathlike state.

Lei Ning approached her, shaking her limp body, "Xiaoxuan? Xiaoxuan?"

Qin Ruan responded with tired indifference, "She’s passed out. Let her sleep it off, she’ll be fine when she wakes up."

Lei Ning turned to look at her, asking, "Why did this happen?"

"You awakened her past life’s memories, causing the malevolent spirits from that existence to return as well. This has been detrimental to her life pattern in profound ways. If it’s surplus, there’s no need for its existence."

"Will she lose the memories of her past life too?"

"No."

Upon hearing Qin Ruan’s response, Lei Ning let out a sigh of relief.

Qin Ruan moved to Ling Xiaoxuan’s side. Bending down, she delicately traced her fingers over the other’s sweat-streaked face.

"Sister?"

Ling Xiaoxuan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.

With a faint smile on her lips, Qin Ruan murmured softly, "I know you can hear me. Let’s strike off yesterday’s episode. Those who mean most to me are my kin. The world can judge my Third Young Master all it wants, but you must not.

Xiaoxuan, I consider you a friend and understand your good intentions. But your way of doing things is quite hurtful. Do not use such a self-defeating approach again. We are still friends."

Ling Xiaoxuan’s body trembled slightly, her fingers clutching the armrests of the sofa tightly.

Qin Ruan tenderly caressed her face, her tone soothing, "What’s done is done, don’t get worked up. Get some good sleep, and everything will be behind you when you wake up."

Perhaps Qin Ruan’s words had some effect because Ling Xiaoxuan gradually calmed down.

Standing to the side, Lei Ning looked at Qin Ruan in disbelief, "Is this you taking advantage for revenge?"

Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow, her beautiful eyes deep and mysterious, a playfully scornful smile on her lips.

Laughing faintly, she said, "Is that the sort of person I am?"

Lei Ning frowned, unable to answer that question.

For everything Qin Ruan had done for Ling Xiaoxuan, she had gone above and beyond.

Even if she had taken this opportunity to make Ling Xiaoxuan suffer, one couldn’t really blame her.

Qin Ruan’s smile faded slightly, and she spoke, "I should get going now. Let Xiaoxuan contact me once she’s awake."

Lei Ning stood up, "Let me see you out."

But Qin Ruan declined, walking away, "Stay and look after your sister."

Nevertheless, Lei Ning insisted on escorting her to the door.

As Qin Ruan headed towards the elevator, Lei Ning couldn’t resist calling out to her, "Lady Third, your birthday’s in a few days. The Huo Family has sent an invitation to the Lei Family. We will be seeing you at the party."

"Oh, really?" Qin Ruan glanced back, "I am looking forward to seeing you again. I suppose I’ll have to address you as Young Master Lei from now on."

She understood the significance behind Lei Ning’s return to the Lei Family.

In his past life, he had fallen victim to the schemes of the marginalized branches of his family, meeting an untimely end. There was no way he would accept such a fate in his rebirth.

Lei Ning stepped in front of Qin Ruan, a rare somber expression on his handsome, genial face.

With a sincerity in his voice, he said slowly, "The elders of my family previously offended the Nangong Family. We have maintained a low profile for several years in hope of taking advantage of your birthday banquet to pave a better way forward for the Lei Family."

Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

What did the advancement of the Lei Family have to do with her? She wondered what Lei Ning’s words implied.

Lei Ning gazed at Qin Ruan with earnestness in his eyes, "While I am not involved in politics and don’t understand the struggles within the great families, I can tell that in the past half year, the Huo Family has been pushing you to ascend.

Grandfather Huo has long since retired from family affairs, as has the father of Third Young Master. The Third Young master has effectively taken charge of the Huo family. The grand birthday party that the Huo family has organized for you indicates that before long, you will rightfully and officially become the Lady of the Huo family.

As the Lady, you will undoubtedly need people to run errands for you – to take care of matters that you can’t handle personally."

A suspicion crossed Qin Ruan’s mind. She asked with an insinuating smile, "And you mean...?"

With a gravely deep voice, Lei Ning declared, "The day I return to the Lei Family is the day I will officially take over. I am determined to take control of the Lei Family."

Qin Ruan nodded, indicating she understood, "If you wish to align yourself with the Huo Family, I will bring this up with the Third young Master."

Her initial wariness of Lei Ning had eased somewhat; she found herself intrigued by him.

If the Lei family desired to align with the Huo family, she wouldn’t mind facilitating that connection.

Lei Ning shook his head, "Lady Third, what I mean is that the Lei Family seeks to align with you, Qin Ruan, not the Huo Family."

Qin Ruan appeared taken aback, her eyes slanting toward him, "I’m not quite sure I understand what you’re saying."

With an air of solemnity, he committed himself to his statement, "The Lei Family, though a small noble house of the Capital City with centuries’ worth of history, is well aware of its place. There might be limited opportunities where the Lei Family can serve the Huo Family, but if Lady Third accepts our allegiance, I, on behalf of the whole Lei Family, vow to abide by your orders unerringly."

The seriousness in his voice and the inherent composure of a young aristocrat came through.

Qin Ruan blinked her long eyelashes, her clear eyes reflecting an aloof indifference.

Staring at Lei Ning, she offered him an easy smile that hinted at something deeper, her tone carefree, "Aren’t you afraid that one day, I might be thrown out of the Huo household, as the rumors suggest?"

Lei Ning chuckled lightly, the certainty in his voice unyielding, "I believe that even bereft of the Huo name, Miss Qin will refuse to be a commoner. You are destined for greatness, sure to soar high."

He firmly believed Qin Ruan won’t fall into obscurity even if she leaves the Huo Family.

Qin Ruan laughed, "You certainly know how to flatter me."
