Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1580: Chapter 1560: Snow Palace’s Past

”What’s going on?” Qhianqhian casually grabbed Xiao Hei, who was about to erupt. ”They can’t handle your attack. If someone dies, there won’t even be insurance... uh, I mean, if they die, wouldn’t we lose the chance to argue? That would be so unjust. Let’s hear what he has to say first.”

Although Qhianqhian said this, her face also looked a bit grim. It was evident that the event involved transforming people to survive by extracting animal traits.

It was somewhat similar to the things she had heard about the Han Family before. Han Family, Haan Family, could they be the same family?

Except one uses high technology to extract genes, while the other uses mysticism to directly ’operate.’

But come to think of it, being able to combine humans and bears is quite remarkable, isn’t it?

”No, wait, I suddenly remember something.” Qhianqhian’s face darkened. ”I recall that during the finals, the Master of the Snow Palace will also be present, right?”

The Snow Palace is unlike them, it’s just a small sect. Naturally, as the Sect Master of a major sect, you must sit at the podium to watch the progress of the competition and understand the development of the younger generation.

”You’ll find out soon enough.” Haan Jingsheng wore a cold smile and, after a brief pause, began recounting past events: ”The first time I had this idea was because of you, Sue Jiao...”

Madam Sue was dumbfounded, because of her? What a joke!

”Although there are no records, I assume your eyes have a Domain, right? The domain of ice and snow, your eyes are shaped like snowflakes.” Haan Jingsheng didn’t wait for Madam Sue to respond and continued, ”At that time, I was fascinated by the idea of possessing a Domain, and I thought, if I could take your eyes, wouldn’t I have it too? Here in the Far North, what could be more suitable for me, as the Master of the Snow Palace, than a domain of ice and snow? The thought became clearer in my mind, and I became more and more obsessed.”

”It’s just that at that time, you had become so powerful that it was daunting, and taking your eyes wasn’t easy. Moreover, whether I could really adapt to your eyes was another question, so I proposed this plan to the elders of the Snow Palace, and surprisingly, it was unanimously approved. From that point on, the Snow Palace began to breed and capture spiritual beasts everywhere. It’s not easy to capture strong spiritual beasts, but weak ones aren’t of much use when captured. Consequently, countless disciples and spiritual beasts became sacrifices in the plan, and the Second Elder successfully maintained an experimental balance. One of his public experiments was conducted on my disciple, replacing one of his arms with an ape’s. After recovery, the arm possessed explosive strength and agility unachievable by humans. We were all thrilled. We understood the implications of a successful experiment. Subsequently, several more tests were conducted, and coincidentally, we captured this bear, incredibly strong, which tempted me. I initially planned to replace only one arm... but when I woke up, the Great Elder and the Seventh Elder were each flaunting an arm in front of me. When I wanted to get up, I realized, my lower body had already been replaced with this...”

Haan Jingsheng smiled bitterly; he really hadn’t expected the people he trusted the most to betray him then.

”Afterwards, I was imprisoned by the sect master successor that I had personally supported, and the Great Elder disguised himself as me, step by step leading him to the position of Master of the Snow Palace. Actually, even if you hadn’t come, I think that shortly after the Sect Conference, he would have brought a team to take you away. Your abilities could attract me; naturally, they could also attract them.”

Madam Sue was instantly furious, not only were her legs, but even both her arms were used? If this enmity is not avenged, what kind of ’strongest spiritual beast of the Northern Region’ would she be?

”Haan Bing should have noticed something amiss, but his younger brother... might be exploited, which could be quite troublesome.” Haan Jingsheng looked at Madam Sue earnestly: ”This counts as the legacy of my direct lineage, no matter what you want, as long as I have it, I am willing to give it to you, but just ask...”

”That’s impossible.” Qhianqhian sighed, noticing Big Black and Xiao Hei’s disapproving looks, she whispered, ”I’ve already arranged a duel to the death with Haan Bing at the Sect Conference, and there are only a few days left.”

”Haan Bing? No matter their worries, they shouldn’t plot against him. Haan Bing has had the best talent in a thousand years.”

Haan Jingsheng tightly knitted his brows, looking incomprehensibly at Qhianqhian, his trembling hands showed he was far from calm.

”It’s a long story, but that’s how it is.” Qhianqhian wasn’t foolish enough to reveal that it was because she killed his brother on impulse, leading him to challenge her to a duel to the death.

Haan Jingsheng shook his head: ”Haan Bing is a sensible and good child, he wouldn’t give you a hard time...”

Yeah, right.

Qhianqhian pouted and stopped explaining.

Soon, Yan and Mo woke up, startled to see a stranger draped in a white cloth before them, and immediately jumped up, instinctively pulling Qhianqhian behind them protectively with a wary posture.

Mo slightly frowned, but his hand was already clutching a small medicine bottle.

”...Don’t worry, I’m fine, sit.” Qhianqhian rolled her eyes. ”This is what I, Madam Sue, Big Black, and Xiao Hei discovered on our stroll. There’s a long story behind it...”

After a lengthy explanation, Yan and Mo’s expressions towards Haan Jingsheng softened.

But soon, Mo slightly furrowed his brow: ”Did you say it was an ape’s arm?”

”Yes...” Qhianqhian nodded.

”I seemed to have seen something similar before, in Southern Li.” Mo fell silent for a moment, ”But I can’t be too sure, I just had a vague feeling it wasn’t a human arm.”

Qhianqhian was momentarily stunned and then nodded, feeling a growing sense of crisis...

”What will you do?” They must still attend the Sect Conference, but what about Madam Sue and Haan Jingsheng? Qhianqhian had no interest in sheltering an old man.

The key point is, he’s an elder of the spirits she killed, what if one day he finds out the truth and secretly plots against her? Wouldn’t that be so unfair?

Sue Jiao looked at Qhianqhian, clutching a branch tightly, ice slowly covered it, and with a little force it could turn to powder, but she stopped, ”Can I not go with you? This enmity unsettles my heart.”

First, the Snow Beast incident, then the shocking discovery that the long-missing spiritual beasts were also secretly dealt with by the Snow Palace. How could she stand by?

She wanted to see the Snow Palace lose face at the Sect Conference, to see them utterly humiliated.

And when she returned, she too faced overwhelming blows.
