Chapter 67: The Pitiful One

Jiang Qibin’s expression was all too easy to read; with just one glance, Song Ruizhe understood what was going through his mind.

“She is herself, and I am me.”

She has money—what does that have to do with him? As for being siblings, what kind of siblings are they, really? If she ever tells someone again that they’re brother and sister, he’ll be sure to deny it immediately, never allowing anyone to mistake their relationship again.

“Did you two have a fight?” Jiang Qibin asked. “Ruizhe, let me give you some brotherly advice—she’s really something—”

The world truly is unfair. A faint violet aura emanated from Jiang Hua, as if, for the one already dead, even half a meter away felt like being crushed head-on by a fully loaded truck. Tang Tian could barely breathe beside her, and she didn’t even dare look up to get a better look at him.

Hu Xingquan was never even a child of the Hu family. To think he once believed that with a descendant like Hu Xingquan, the Hu family would surely prosper.

The more gifted a person is, the more tangible ghosts appear to them, and the more sensitive they are to the disturbances in the magnetic field caused by spirits. Those with lesser gifts, on the other hand, perceive things differently; they tend to distinguish more easily whether a ghost’s resentment is deep or shallow, trading precision for categorization.

A few spoiled young men were wandering the streets, flirting, when they set their sights on a girl—namely, Xia Mu.

“Next round: Yuji versus Bingye.” Kishikawa recorded Ginta and his opponent’s performance and continued arranging matches.

Fortunately, it was only the second floor, and she landed on her own car. Sun Xiangyan merely broke a few ribs; she would survive without any lasting disability.

The entire morning, Tang Tian didn’t appear at school; she had to hurry and bought a pile of supplies at the funeral paper shop. She had already braced herself to be called in by her parents, but when she returned in the afternoon, the homeroom teacher was nowhere to be seen and she wasn’t scolded.

I never said it aloud, but perhaps in their eyes, having power is what truly matters.

She hadn’t helped at all—almost made a mess of things—yet inexplicably, she received the service fee for this job. The boss must be furious, right?

The man, face contorted with grief, pulled out a few Luca coins and placed them on the bar, shaking his head regretfully as he left the tavern.

“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, who would believe Old Chu was actually an undercover agent!” King Yama’s face remained expressionless, his cold voice trembling with a hint of shock.

“Wow, that really is a sad story.” Shingong casually picked up another apple.

He wept; the one who was always cold and proud, he cried. He realized that losing everything else didn’t matter, but losing Ruan Xiyao was the most painful thing he’d ever experienced.

Everyone had this worry, only no one wanted to voice it. Tong Zhen unintentionally spoke what was on everyone’s mind, but her answer was so firm there was simply no room for further questioning.

Li Guanghan and “Elizabeth” sat silently in the car, both calculating their next move. The Eight Trigrams Puzzle Box was still in George’s hands, so they couldn’t act for now—wit would have to do.

The wound on Bai Nuan’s back still ached, especially now that the anesthetic had worn off, the pain doubling in intensity.

With a thunderous roar, the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword lodged between its teeth was shaken free. The sword transformed into the shadow of a dragon, flying back to Chu Li’s hand, its blade humming incessantly, waves of battle intent emanating from it.

If in her previous life Lu Jinzhi’s inexplicable animosity was because Liu Qingchen looked at her differently, then what about this life? We’re total strangers—why glare at me like that? Is there something wrong with your eyes?

The two of them walked through one long corridor after another until, not far ahead, there was an enormous artificial lake. In it swam countless carp, each weighing over ten kilos, and plenty of turtles as well, all massive in size. According to the manager, some of those turtles had lived for over a thousand years.
