Chapter 477
C477 – He Had Become Stronger and He Had also Become More Arrogant
Upon hearing the words, Xia Lan’s face remained serene.
“Okay, sure!”
In truth, she had been aware of her enemy’s capture from the start.
Her vengeance had been exacted, and in that moment, she had laughed wildly, followed by tears. But afterward, she felt a profound emptiness.
Hatred had once been her driving force to keep going.
Now, with her revenge fulfilled, she found herself without a purpose.
Yet, after a brief spell of disorientation, she discovered a new goal: to become stronger.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
She was determined to keep living, bolstered by the endless confidence that the mysterious treasure had instilled in her.
Still, her desire to survive meant she had to negotiate with the Guan family’s people.
Indeed, she had prepared for all contingencies.
But her greatest concern was the enigmatic powerhouse who had subdued her days earlier.
Given more time, she believed she could reverse her fortunes, but would he grant her that time?
She couldn’t be sure.
Unbeknownst to Xia Lan, Jiang Hao, the very person who had overpowered her, was present at the scene.
……
Zhu Yifann, standing nearby, was oblivious to Xia Lan’s thoughts. Seeing her readiness to engage in conversation, he breathed a sigh of relief.
“Xia Lan, could you tell me about the strong figure who overpowered you?”
At that moment, Zhu Yifann hadn’t forgotten about the shadowy figure lurking unseen.
Yet, he was unaware that this formidable person was right there next to him, watching intently.
Jiang Hao, observing Zhu Yifann’s attempts to gather information about him, hesitated.
“The authorities are keeping a tight leash on people like me, it seems.”
But with a moment’s reflection, Jiang Hao grasped the implications.
It was simply a matter of scholars disrupting the law with their words, and warriors with their deeds.
At that moment, Jiang Hao’s gaze was fixed on Xia Lan.
He had no intention of revealing himself just yet, so he couldn’t afford to let Xia Lan slip up.
Hearing this, Xia Lan contemplated briefly before she prepared to come clean.
“He…”
Previously, Xia Lan had resolved to expose Jiang Hao, hoping to set the officials against him and secure the time she needed to recuperate.
Everything would fall into place in due time!
But just as she began to speak, she suddenly felt an ominous presence locking onto her.
Her body quivered uncontrollably, frozen in place!
Xia Lan’s eyes widened with fear, and she hastily shifted the conversation.
“We must not speak of that esteemed one!”
The moment her words trailed off, the lethal sensation vanished.
Beside her, Zhu Yifan was taken aback by Xia Lan’s abrupt change in demeanor.
What could have caused such a sudden shift in Xia Lan’s tone?
“Is it possible that the master is close by?”
With this thought, Zhu Yifan quickly surveyed the area, yet nothing seemed amiss.
“Am I overthinking things?”
Seeing Xia Lan’s distressed state, Zhu Yifan decided it was best not to press further.
Meanwhile, Jiang Hao observed Xia Lan with a frown.
“It appears Xia Lan has grown stronger and is entertaining other ideas now.”
Anyone who had nearly been betrayed would understandably be in a foul mood.
Zhu Yifan then decided to change the subject.
“Alright, let me pose a different question.”
“How were you created?”
“To my knowledge, ghosts have only recently come into existence, but you died four years ago. How have you managed to survive?”
Jiang Hao was equally intrigued by this mystery.
The female ghost he had encountered back in his hometown was the same as this one!
Upon hearing the question, a flicker of panic crossed Xia Lan’s face.
This touched upon her precious treasure, the very key to her aspirations of power. She couldn’t possibly disclose that herself.
However, she quickly regained her composure.
“I’m not entirely certain myself. I only came into being a few days ago as well!”
