Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin stared at the Crystal Ball, a feeling of wonder enveloped her, as if the Crystal Ball was gazing back at her.

She reached out and gently poked the Crystal Ball with her fingertip.

The edge of her ring touched the Crystal Ball, and she felt a strange, electric current-like sensation all around her.

She stood up warily.

Could it be that the young apprentice was drained of their spirit by this Crystal Ball, left near death? What kind of bizarre object is this?

For some reason, she suddenly recalled the scene from the previous night fighting the man in the red robe.

Back then, the hall was destroyed by the machines, and the crystal chandelier on the ceiling fell, shattering crystals all over the floor.

This Crystal Ball was very similar to those crystals rolling around on the ground at the time, except much more infused with Spiritual Energy.

Qin Xin opened her phone, deciding it would be better to call someone over to have a look.

But, as soon as she turned on her phone, a call came in.

It was an unfamiliar number—perhaps a guest coming for the wedding had lost their way.

She pressed to answer.

Qin Wenrou’s voice came through: ”Sis, seems like I have to change to a new number for you to answer my calls.”

Qin Xin’s gaze cooled: ”From the day you pushed me into the Ice Lake, you lost the right to call me sis.”

Qin Wenrou chuckled: ”Doesn’t matter. Qin Xin, don’t you want to know what mom’s dying words were? She mentioned a certain secret about Mr. Nalan.”

Qin Xin frowned: ”What do you mean?”

How did Mrs. Qin die, seemingly out of nowhere?

Qin Wenrou finished her heart surgery and had just woken from the anesthesia, calling out to Duanmu Heiying: ”Master, where’s my mom?”

Duanmu Heiying: ”About to be sent to the crematorium.”

Qin Wenrou: ”Wait!”

Duanmu Heiying: ”What, you still can’t let go?”

Qin Wenrou: ”Not exactly. I’m just a bit uneasy, she went to the bathroom before the operation, I’m afraid she might have done something tricky.”

Duanmu Heiying brought over Mrs. Qin’s corpse.

Qin Wenrou looked around: ”Master, where’s her phone? Maybe she planned to expose us, tell Qin Xin everything.”

Duanmu Heiying searched for a while and handed it to her.

Qin Wenrou turned it on, inputting the password, which was her birthday.

Once opened, she searched through messages, WeChat... Finally, she found a piece of text sent from the communication software installed by the school for parents, it was a message Mrs. Qin sent to Qin Xiaoshuang:

”Xiao Shuang, the Nalan Family has a hereditary curse, male descendants don’t live past thirty. If your brother-in-law dies, you must take good care of your sister. Mom is sorry for you all!”

Qin Wenrou laughed: ”I knew it, my mom surely wouldn’t be content without causing a stir before her death. But, of course, this dreadful news has to be told to Qin Xin and me, I want to hear her cry out in despair!”

Duanmu Heiying couldn’t help but feel: ”Your mom still cared about you, even in death she didn’t complain to Qin Xin about you.”

Qin Wenrou borrowed Duanmu Heiying’s phone and dialed the number.

Although Qin Xin’s attitude was cold, she still cheerfully said what she wanted:

”... Qin Xin, don’t you want to know what mom’s dying words were? ... She told me that Nalan Ye Jue won’t live past thirty, you’re soon to be a widow, haha, you really think you married someone remarkable, but he’s just a lame, short-lived ghost!”

Qin Wenrou mocked unscrupulously.

But, on the other end of the line, there was not a single echo.

”Qin Xin? Qin Xin, did you hear me? You still have time to regret, don’t marry that man, there’s still a chance to escape from misfortune...”

Qin Xin did not answer.

Instead, urgent footsteps were heard over the phone, and a man’s shout: ”Xin ah, where are you going?”

”What’s going on here? I clearly saw her standing here, how could she disappear into thin air in just a second!”
