Chapter 27: Tips

After leaving the Zhao Family, Zhong Niangyao declined Mr. Zhao's offer to have her driven and left on foot instead.

She felt that her current body was actually rather feeble, so she should definitely exercise more to regain her strength. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to restore her Combat Power to its previous level.

Even though she was profoundly skilled in mystical techniques, Combat Power was also very important to her.

Not long after Zhong Niangyao left the Zhao Family, the household fell into silence, with no one willing to speak first.

After a long time, Zhao Xuanglang finally looked up and said, "Dad, Mom, you have to tell me who switched my Life Chart."

Although Zhong Niangyao had mentioned that the person responsible would face a terrible fate and that someone would soon come after him, he still desperately wanted to know who bore such malice towards him.

He could tell that his parents knew, but they refused to tell him.

"Xuan Lang, you should stay out of this matter," Mr. Zhao said, shaking his head with a flash of sharpness in his eyes. "We will definitely make those behind the scenes pay for this."

He wouldn't easily let go of anyone involved in switching his son's Life Chart, not even if they were blood relatives.

Mrs. Zhao's face relaxed upon hearing this.

Seeing that Zhao Xuanglang still wanted to say something, she quickly interrupted him. "You should leave this matter alone. If you have time, think about how to apologize to Lady Zhong! The bad things you did before might not have been mentioned by her, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Now that she is still willing to save you, you should truly be grateful to her."

"That's right," Mr. Zhao nodded, his expression serious when he looked at Zhao Xuanglang. "Lady Zhong is no ordinary person; I have never seen anyone from the Mystical Sect with her level of power. At her young age, she's already so remarkable; it's impossible to guess what heights she might reach in the future."

If he had harbored any doubts about Zhong Niangyao due to her young age, the recent events had completely transformed his opinion to one of utmost respect.

Naturally, he now harbored the intention of befriending her, as knowing such a powerful master from the Mystical Sect was definitely beneficial.

"I understand," Zhao Xuanglang hastily nodded. "I promise that I will apologize sincerely and express my gratitude earnestly."

Fearing further lecturing from his parents, Zhao Xuanglang hurriedly went upstairs after finishing his words, completely forgetting that he had just been pursuing the matter of the sinister mastermind behind the scenes.

Once Zhao Xuanglang had gone upstairs, the relaxed expressions on Mr. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao's faces vanished, and a chill permeated the air.

Although they had intentionally hinted to Zhao Xuanglang, they were also diverting the subject at the time.

After a while, Mrs. Zhao suddenly spoke, "What do you plan to do?"

"Ha! We've helped them so much, and yet they sought my son's life. These ungrateful serpents, I cannot keep them close any longer," Mr. Zhao said, his eyes flickering coldly. "Over the years, they have reaped many benefits from our company. Now I want them to spit it all back out. If they were penniless before, they should return to that state now."

"But—" Mrs. Zhao frowned. "What about your parents? Will they—"

"If they have objections, they can leave," Mr. Zhao said coldly, without a trace of mercy. "After all, I'm not the only one responsible for providing for them."

For him, his wife and two children were his most significant family members.

Reassured by Mr. Zhao's promise, Mrs. Zhao finally relaxed. A ruthless glint appeared in her eyes.

Unlike her husband, who only intended to reclaim their property, she had no intention of letting the other party off easily. Since they had targeted her son's life, she would show absolutely no mercy.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Zhao Family, Zhong Niangyao did not head back to the Zhong Family immediately but went once again to the base of Tongtian Bridge and set up her stall.

Since she had already reported to Old Sir and his like, she would continue to set up her stall for the day.

Sitting behind the stall, Zhong Niangyao's face was always smiling, clearly in a good mood. Indeed, that was the case.

Today, she had saved Zhao Xuanglang, thereby accumulating some Merit. She felt that her soul and this body were a bit more in harmony than before.

Though not very obvious, she could still feel the change.

This meant that her previous thoughts were correct; saving people and accumulating Merit indeed could solve her current problems.

As she meditated on these thoughts, someone sat down in front of Zhong Niangyao's stall.
