Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1160: Can You Grow Up a Little?

After a long while, under Qhianqhian’s worried gaze, her father finally came up. Seeing Luo Xihan’s expression, he was evidently helpless too.

Qhianqhian looked tense all over: ”Dad, what’s wrong with Second Uncle?”

”It’s self-inflicted.” Luo Xinyue shrugged and looked at the person slumped over the table: ”Brother, you’re already this old, can’t you be more mature?”

”What exactly happened?” Qhianqhian looked puzzled, unable to make sense, looking at the two of them: ”What about Uncle?”

”Your Uncle needs rest and shouldn’t be seeing these foods for now.” Once he sees them, he’ll want to eat, and we can’t stop him. How will his wounds heal that way?

”As for your Second Uncle? He’s disgusted with himself.” Luo Xinyue looked at her daughter, hesitated for a moment, and felt she could only say this much, which was her limit.

Qhianqhian still looked puzzled but didn’t ask further as it was apparent neither her father nor Second Uncle would answer.

She shrugged and didn’t pursue the matter further.

”What about that person?” After thinking for a bit, Qhianqhian asked again. If he’s caught, he evidently got careless, right?

”Still being tortured in the room.” Luo Xinyue said softly: ”But we’ve asked about everything almost, whether he talks or not doesn’t matter much, we already know the general situation.”

Qhianqhian was momentarily stunned and then nodded.

Indeed, it was Luo Xinyue who first mentioned the Xu Family issue, indicating that her father possessed evidence they hadn’t thought of.

”By the way, Dad.” An expression of expectation flashed across Qhianqhian’s face.

”Hmm?” A trace of confusion appeared on Luo Xinyue’s face, not understanding what Qhianqhian wanted to ask.

”Can we do something now? I still have things to do on my end, and time is tight.” Qhianqhian shrugged.

After a moment of silence, Luo Xinyue nodded, looked at his still gagging brother, and shook his head helplessly, without avoiding anything, since they were all family.

He took out a blueprint from his chest and spread it on the table, pressing it down with a cup.

But it was clearly just a map of the Capital City.

”Here is an area where the Xu Family has been very secretive in their activities recently, even painstakingly trying not to let people notice, it’s the Xu Family’s territory.”

”So what’s going on here?” Qhianqhian looked at Luo Xinyue uncomprehendingly.

”Nothing in particular, but there are people here. We don’t know who they are; people frequently come and go, bring in daily necessities, and take out the trash, but no one’s seen who’s inside.” Luo Xinyue pondered for a moment, his face full of seriousness.

”But that’s not the main point; the main point is, do you remember Sawadera Ichiro?”

”Of course I remember... Huh? Dad knows too?” Qhianqhian looked incredulous.

After all, when she met Sawadera Ichiro, it was quite a while ago, but thinking back, Tang Tianyi was by her side at the time, so it wasn’t such a rarity for Luo Xinyue to know.

”Yes, this person happens to be the opponent I have to face.” Luo Xinyue took a deep breath: ”You know the Zero from the Blank organization, right?”

Qhianqhian nodded, not quite understanding the significance of what her father was saying.

”Blank was established by Zero, while correspondingly, the Sky Group was set up by Sawadera Ichiro...” Luo Xinyue said slowly.

Hearing these things, Qhianqhian stared incredulously.

She didn’t know there were so many secrets behind Blank? Wasn’t it said that Zero was by Number One...

Could it be that Number One was bribed by the Sky Group?

In an instant, an infinite number of possibilities popped into Qhianqhian’s mind, with her heart sometimes exclaiming, sometimes sighing.

”Dad, you’re not saying that the person living in there is Sawadera Ichiro, right?” Qhianqhian’s mouth gaped open instinctively, full of disbelief.

Luo Xinyue shook his head: ”The person living there isn’t him, and it doesn’t have much to do with him. I’m telling you this because instead of figuring out who is in there, you should focus on handling many other matters.”

As if joking, Luo Xinyue, having rolled up the map, winked at Qhianqhian: ”Now, we just need to wait for your Uncle’s injuries to stabilize and your Second Uncle Haoran’s matters to be resolved, then you can all leave.”

”Huh?” Qhianqhian looked at her dad, full of disbelief.

”Did you think you need to do something? No matter what, you’re still a child, and Dad hopes your hands remain untainted.” Luo Xinyue patted Qhianqhian’s head: ”I can still handle things here, but I think I need one thing, you should call Tang Guo.”

Qhianqhian was taken aback, and as she silently chanted Tang Guo’s name in her heart, Tang Guo appeared before them.

”Well... what’s up, Qhianqhian?” Tang Guo, seeing Qhianqhian, dashed over immediately but suddenly halted mid-air and calmly stopped.

Qhianqhian shook her head and looked towards Luo Xinyue.

Luo Xinyue reached out to Tang Guo: ”You should have something here to communicate with your side, right?”

This time, how long was it before Qhianqhian received the news? And it was because Tang Guo went out to procure materials that they got the news. If they hadn’t gone out for a long time, wouldn’t Luo Xisi have nearly lost her life?

”Well...” Tang Guo hesitated and looked at Qhianqhian.

Qhianqhian nodded and gestured towards Luo Xinyue with her chin: ”Hurry up, will you?”

”The only contact with the outside is Qhianqhian, but the spirit jade required for communication can no longer be made, needing formations and talisman seals, both of which no one understands nowadays.” Moreover, cross-realm communication spirit jade?

Even talisman seals are rare now, let alone a communication spirit jade requiring dual cultivation of a formation master and a talisman master? And if one’s spiritual power isn’t strong enough, creating a cross-realm communication spirit jade isn’t feasible, possibly requiring Qhianqhian to split her soul onto the jade to enable real-time communication.

For Qhianqhian now, splitting her soul is equivalent to cutting off her future.

One chop takes a section off a barrel, and no matter what, you can’t reach the length of other staves.

But unexpectedly, Qhianqhian’s eyes lit up: ”If that’s the case, there’s a solution.”

Tang Guo stared wide-eyed at Qhianqhian: ”Do you not understand the seriousness of the matter? Even if your abilities allow you to craft talisman seals, even if you’re a formation master, you absolutely must not split your soul! Anyone can be reckless, but you can’t!”

Qhianqhian looked puzzled at Tang Guo: ”Split my soul?” What is that? Why hadn’t she heard of such a term?

Tang Guo instinctively covered her mouth, realizing she had let it slip. After a moment, however, she was resigned: ”If you want to communicate now, I can take in a little brother and place it by... your father. However, under the present circumstances, getting one that can talk is still a bit challenging...”
