about something related to the Ghost Princess."Zhu Weiti's current identity is Qi Kexin. This woman is under secret protection. Her family knows a lot of secrets, and Lin Yanhuan... also... indulges..."He drove me out. Then I got into an accident, and he probably pulled me from the water... Right, the accident..."

I remembered the corpse covered by black insects and, with some worry, reported it to my senior brother in a low voice. "Will the police come looking for me"

"What's the point of looking If you want to do me harm, you deserve it even in death." Jun Shidi said coldly.

Oh... It's scary when senior brother gets angry.

Senior Brother Qiu stepped in to smooth things over, saying: "Little Junior Sister has suffered a lot on this trip. Senior Brother, don't be harsh with her... However, something about this situation is rather strange..."

"That driver, why would he suddenly become like a zombie, vomiting blood, and even eaten by insects..." Qiu Shixiong stroked his chin in thought.

I recalled carefully, from the moment he got in the car, I felt his eyes were bloodshot.

It's totally normal to see red eyes in disaster areas. Maybe they're from staying up late, or maybe from crying.

Halfway through his drive, he got out of the car to move some rocks and then cut his hand. He asked me for a Band-Aid...

"That should have been poisoned a long time ago. Cutting his finger only triggered it. Otherwise, where would so many carrion worms come from" Qiu Shidi said in a low voice.

"Shixiong, with a slight frown, said, “Could it be that someone is targeting our family Or is this specifically aimed at Junior Sister”

This question has no answer.

Could it be that someone from Mu Wanchen's clan doesn't want me to live and leave, wanting to kill me to "silence" me

In short, let's just have my little junior sister rest well. It's good that she's back safe and sound. We'll keep a closer eye on things. It doesn't seem like our family has any deep grudges... Perhaps my junior sister saw something she shouldn't have, and someone wanted to silence her. Now that she's home, let's protect her well. I doubt the other party's reach extends this far.

"My brother looked at me, sighed softly and said: 'Well, as long as you're back safe. We can just get a new ID card, a new phone... the car..."

Is the car being replaced too I looked at him longingly.

"With a cold snort, Jun Shixiong said: 'From today onwards, you're not allowed to drive. All your comings and goings will be handled by your fellow disciples. Understand'"

“…Oh.”

At worst, I'll just drive my sister's car. I don't believe you dare threaten my sister.

Because I'm pretty good at causing trouble, my senior brothers are all wary of me. My sister can do whatever she wants, but if I even make a small mistake, I get "concern" from all directions.

The next day I slept until the sun was high in the sky, when Ninth Senior Brother came to call me up.

My ninth senior brother, Xue Zixin, is my cousin. He came to my house when he was three years old. At that time, my sister and I had just been born, so we were the closest people of the same age who could play together.

"Here's your new phone, little brother." He handed me a box for a new cell phone.

It's not just a new phone, there's also a protective case inside, similar to my old one, with a pink animal pattern, overflowing with girlish charm.

I couldn't help but ask, "Did your senior brother buy this"

"What else Senior brother is always prepared, he already has a replacement phone for you. Just get a new number... What do you want to eat Second senior brother gave me some money, hehe."

The Ninth Senior Brother just turned twenty, but my father still doesn't allow him to practice medicine on his own. He says that he must wait until after twenty years of apprenticeship before he is allowed to practice medicine outside the sect. So, he has no personal income, and his only source of money is the monthly allowance that our family gives to the disciples.

"I want to find someone to take a look at this thing... Oh, let's go to Seventh Senior Brother's place. I want to ask him to have a look at this bracelet."

I raised my hand to the sunlight and flicked my wrist. The hideous beads glinted in the light, casting a dark crimson glow that startled me.

Put your hands down, and they turned black again.

To be honest, this thing is really ugly. It's black with a bit of brown, the particles are large and irregular, and it looks completely out of place on my hand. It's uncomfortable too.

But unexpectedly, it changes color under light too.

The seventh senior brother, Fuzǐ, paid his respects. He was a Manchu and had come from beyond the passes to our central plains city to study under us. However, he still retained the mark of a descendant of the banner people—he could play the flute very well.

He is in charge of my family's business and is very busy. In his words, "I have to earn you a dowry, little ancestor!"

He likes various antique jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, so he should be able to tell what this is.

After I finished my business, Ninth Senior Brother took me to a commercial building.

My family business is more than just a restaurant and a herbal medicine shop. We also have a herb base, procurement, and even investments in research institutes. We also engage in futures trading of Chinese medicinal materials in both domestic and international markets.

Many people think that traditional Chinese medicine and Chinese herbal medicine are just small shops that diagnose and dispense medicines.

Actually, there are already many tycoons eyeing this market of traditional culture, registering patents, international monopolies, and so on.

Of course, my home is just a small fish, not asking for great wealth and honor, only seeking self-sufficiency.

When Senior Brother Fu saw me at the company, he raised an eyebrow and was about to launch into a barrage of insults.

I hurriedly surrendered, saying, "Seventh Senior Brother, be mindful of the surroundings, this is a company!"

He snorted angrily: "I almost sent the company employees to look for you, the business can't go on!"

Can I really be held accountable for this It wasn't my intention.

"Senior brother, can you take a look at this for me" I handed my wrist over to him.

Seventh Brother reached out and gently touched it, then lifted it up to look at the light source. He muttered, "Damn...impossible...this big"

I felt a little flustered and pressed, "Don't beat around the bush, just tell me what it is."

He touched Yuanyuan's round chin and whispered, "This has a very strong resinous feel. In general, things in nature that have a heavy resinous feel belong to valuable items - think about stones, do they have any resin But the more resinous jade is, the more expensive it is."

“This object, viewed with the naked eye, appears black and brown. But under a strong light source, it turns blood red. This rosary is very delicate, its texture is smooth and warm, with a gem-like crystal gloss... This should be the pinnacle of amber—yèpé, you smell it, there’s a very subtle faint fragrance.”

I sniffed my nose, I just recovered from a two-day fever, I didn't feel anything special about the smell.

"What's 'Yipper' I've never heard of it." I shook my head, indicating that I didn't understand.

He casually wrote down the two characters on paper: "yì, yì. Do you recognize this character"

I nodded. "Of course I know it, doesn't the Classic of Acupuncture and Moxibustion mention the blind spot..."

The company's employees all lifted their heads to look over when they heard this.

"Cough... Well, this thing is worth many times more than gold, and—"ce for pressure. Please don't put such a heavy burden on me."The old man was taken aback, probably not expecting me to say that.Brother Liang anxiously reminded me from behind, “My ancestors! Little P...
