Chapter 7: Wang Xueyao makes her move

The Great Forest

Li Gang immediately forced all his fear deep within his heart. His expression began to calm down, as he started to think of countermeasures.

"I never thought I would feel so much fear one day" Li Gang suddenly spoke calmly.

He suppressed his fear, and moved towards Wang Xueyao.

He suddenly smiled meaningfully and said: "Why did you come to this place, Is that person also here?"

Wang Xueyao's looked deeply at Li Gang and sneered: "Your bluff is good, but your acting is too bad."

Suddenly, she revealed a rank 5 peak aura, completely suppressing Li Gang to his knees.

Li Gang felt complete despair at this moment. He knew, he was completely at her mercy now. In front of such absolute strength, he can't do a thing.

Wang Xueyao came forward and suddenly bent down. She grasped Li Gang's chin with her two fingers, pinched them and forced him to look at her.

"What's happened my dear husband? Is that all you got? Why don't you reveal your special abilities? I know you don't possess Spiritual Imprint, but a special ability! Common reveal them, or you might die!"

Li Gang was shocked. 'How did she know I don't possess Spiritual Imprint? And which Special Ability is she talking about?'

He looked at her and said: "Which Special Ability are you talking about?"

Wang Xueyao increased her force. "Oh, do you possess more than one?"

Li Gang denied immediately, he doesn't want to make her angry. "No.. no, I meant I only know about Secret Techniques. I only know about few Secret Techniques."

Wang Xueyao looked at him deeply and said. "Do you not possess any other ability?"

Li Gang thought and said: "No"

Wang Xueyao frowned. 'How is that possible? Everyone of them possessed a Special Ability instead of Spiritual Imprint. He is not lying, that's for sure. But, If he doesn't possess any Special Ability, I have no use for him, this marriage isn't possible and my secret can't be revealed. Should I get rid of...'

As she was thinking, Li Gang suddenly said: "Can you tell me, how did you induce fear inside me? And then you took it back. I don't believe I had the ability to resolve it."

Wang Xueyao ignored him. As if he was completely non existence. Li Gang's face changed. 

'She is thinking of eliminating me! I have to prove my worth, or else she would definitely kill me.' Li Gang's previous question was just probing her behaviour. 

He immediately said: "I know you want to kill me, but you may lose more than what you gain!"

Wang Xueyao looked at him, and said with disdain: "Oh, then would you remind me how can you help me? Or, Do you think I would loose clues when killing you?"

Li Gang looked at her and immediately found her weakness. 'She is still in her adolescence, and at this age, they feel a lot of excitement. Even if she is shrewd, she is not as calm as a normal person. Otherwise she would have ignored me just like earlier. She is competitive, but she should possess the ability to suppress her excitement too.'

"I know you won't. In fact, if you hear everything I have to say, you wouldn't kill me!"

Wang Xueyao looked at him deeply, and said mockingly: "Okay, I would let you speak, I want to hear your opinion."

Li Gang didn't want to let go of this opportunity.

"You are a reborn person!"

Wang Xueyao's face still possessed disdain, as if looking at a play. But she didn't speak and let him continue.

"In your previous life, you were at least Rank 7 Warrior. But, you faced an enemy, who is far stronger than you! Most likely, Rank 9 Warrior. You died miserably, and then you used your Spiritual Imprint, which is Soul Type Spiritual Imprint, a very rare one, to reborn into this young girl's body. You are currently Rank 5 peak stage Warrior, and possess the combat strength of Rank 6 Warrior. Your aptitude is S grade, and Spiritual Imprint rank is rank 8 at the very least. The entire Wang family is under your control."

Wang Xueyao smiled. "Wrong! You are terribly wrong. Other than the type of Spiritual Imprint, which seems to be a coincidence, everything else you stated is wrong."

Li Gang showed a despaired look. "Well, I have nothing else to say."

Wang Xueyao removed all her aura targeted at Li Gang, and caressed his cheek. She said softly. 

"My dear husband, you don't have to afraid, I won't kill you. Can you tell me the reasons for your deduction?"

She paused, just as Li Gang was about to explain her, she interjected:

 "Isn't this what you wanted me to ask? But sadly, I know where I left clues. I don't know why after hearing your answer, I had an impulse to ask how you deduced that. But after thinking a bit, It seems to be because you mixed some wrong deductions deliberately. They say people tend to like those who make slight mistake within their perfections. Your answer is perfect example here."

Wang Xueyao continued as she exposed Li Gang:

"First thing, I hid my Spiritual Imprint grade and my father hid my Aptitude. There is only two possibility, either I was too outstanding, or too inferior. Anyone who saw my strength could immediately judge it to be latter.

Seeing my rank 5 aura, it's easy to guess my aptitude given how quickly I cultivated. From this, it can also be seen that even with such talent it is impossible to reach such stage, unless I possess Spiritual Imprint from the very beginning. I never revealed my Spiritual Imprint in the ceremony, so you used this clue here as well to deduce that my Spiritual Imprint should have advanced that's why I didn't revealed it and not because I was hiding something against Li Family. This is only possible, if my soul occupied this girl's body. Because Spiritual Imprint is present in soul and not the body. It is well known to everyone that Body is just a cloth to Soul.

Having means to occupy another girl's body, having ability to induce fear in your heart without you realising, knowing about Special Abilities are something unheard of in this remote area, this furthered affirmed your guess that I occupied the body of Wang Xueyao, since I should have learnt such information from outside, but I never been there. But these are not what truly confirmed your guess. What confirmed is my shrewdness, which only comes with lots of experience, and not something a girl of age 13 could possess.

As for my past life cultivation, such means are not available to Rank 6 Warriors, and you know that, since your mother is Rank 6, isn't it? So, I should be at least Rank 7.

I was able to see through your Spiritual Imprint, so you guessed I possess some Soul Type Spiritual Imprint, this further gives explanation to how I occupied a girl's body. But, I don't know why you didn't mention Secret Techniques, it is also possible to use Soul Type Secret Techniques to achieve it. 

As for controlling Wang family and having strong enemy, you just added to show flaws to make me think I have everything under control and you can't guess everything. I would also be enticed to ask how you deduced these, and you would impress me with your smartness. Truly Impressive. But sadly, in this world, deductions are based on pre-assumptions. Your pre-assumptions are limited because you are just frog in the bottom of well. You can never comprehend what is the true reality of this World. No Mortal can truly comprehend how terrifying this world truly is. If you were aware of those secrets, you may have succeeded in deducing most of them correctly."

Li Gang looked at her and felt a true despair this time but he didn't defended himself.

Wang Xueyao suddenly frowned and her expression changed. She helped Li Gang up.

"You shouldn't work so hard dear. You have to take care of your body too." As she said, she took out a handkerchief and started wiping his forehead.

Li Gang suddenly felt cold all over his body due to her sudden expression change. 'It seems someone came here, may be from Li family. But with her shrewdness, she wouldn't wait for anyone's arrival. She might not have wanted to kill me from the very beginning.'

Wang Xueyao whispered into his ear softly and pitifully. "You are right darling. If I kill you, won't I become a widow? I will never have descendants. I will live my life completely lonely. Why would I do that? I also want you to take care of me in the inheritance. A weak and beautiful woman like me might become target otherwise."

Li Gang didn't feel anything about love from those words, but only felt infinite coldness spreading through his entire body.

He smiled wryly. 'Can I ever caught up to her?'

At that time few people from Li family arrived with Li Yuxong. Li Yuxong looked at his elder brother, whose whole body is filled with bruises and Wang Xueyao who was supporting him intimately. His words immediately stuck at his throat as he felt horror after seeing Wang Xueyao.

Wang Xueyao's eyes narrowed, but at that moment a hand clasped her waist. Li Gang looked at them and said coldly.

"Why are you here?"

Li Jing, one of the body guard and also a trainer of Li Yuxong, came forward and said.

"Monarch Inheritance is starting soon. Family head called you to discuss something."

"I don't believe he has anything to discuss. He just wants me to help you taking care of profits you obtained and do some auxiliary works." Li Gang said with a disdain.

Li Jing was used to his behaviour and as he was about to say something, Li Gang added.

"Go, I will come soon. My training has already completed." 

Li Jing nodded and left with others.
