The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

In a large mountain in the west suburb of the Capital, Sun Hong sat cross-legged in a cave.

In front of him was something that looked like a Compass.

The thing kept glowing, and it was constantly trying to escape, attempting to fly towards a certain direction in the Capital.

After great efforts, Sun Hong managed to control the Compass, preventing it from escaping.

When Sun Hong opened his eyes, a hint of fear flashed in them.

The appearance of this situation with the Compass meant that someone from the Xiao Family had arrived in the Capital.

The Compass sensed that a Feng Shui Master from the Xiao Family was nearby and wanted to rush to its owner.

Sun Hong frowned.

He dared not go to the Capital now, knowing that if he got close to the Xiao Family, the Compass would definitely go out of control, and at that time, he’d be marching to his own doom.

Sun Hong put away the Compass and took out his phone to call Sun Fu: ”Second brother, I’m feeling a breakthrough coming. I need to find a place rich in Spiritual Energy to seclude myself. Yes, I’ll leave today. Don’t try to contact me until I come out.”

After the call, Sun Hong quickly gathered his things and fled.

He needed to run far, to a place where the Xiao Family couldn’t find him. After all, with his cultivation and the Compass in hand, he could live well anywhere. Why clash directly with the Xiao Family?

After all, the father and daughter of the Xiao Family were not to be trifled with.

If the father and daughter from the Xiao Family joined forces and combined with the power of the Compass, not even ten Sun Hongs could withstand them.

Thinking this, Sun Hong moved even faster.

But just as he packed his things and hadn’t even left the cave, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Sun Hong’s face changed drastically.

All the curses he placed on the Xie Family had been lifted.

”Damn it,” Sun Hong cursed: ”How can the Xiao Family’s bloodline cultivate so quickly? Last year, Xiao Yuan was just a swindler, and this year, he managed to break my curse. It’s so damn unfair.”

He thought for a moment, realizing Xiao Yuan’s talent was far inferior to Xiao Lu’s, yet Xiao Yuan’s cultivation had increased so rapidly. What about Xiao Lu?

Even without treasures like the Compass or Daoist Books inherited from the Xiao ancestors, Xiao Lu wouldn’t lag far behind. After all, Xiao Lu was the Chosen One, the genuine protagonist.

Sun Hong spat blood while running down the mountain, barely holding himself up by sheer will, fearing he might collapse on the roadside otherwise.

He called a boss he had previously helped with Feng Shui, asking for a car. Then, Sun Hong drove away from the Capital on the highway.

Xie Family

By evening, the items Xiao Yuan requested were brought by the Xie Family.

Xiao Yuan took the box, which contained a talisman and a White Jade Bottle beneath it.

”What is this?”

Xie Kun leaned over to look.

Xiao Yuan took out the bottle and said softly, ”This is my daughter’s blood.”

”What?”

Xie Kun stepped back several steps in shock.

Xiao Yuan looked at him: ”There’s no choice. Your whole family was cursed. It would take me ages to lift all the curses, and some might not be lifted in time. Who knows who in your family might die next? To save your lives, I had to let LuLu give some blood.”

”Is this blood effective?”

Xie Xu had never heard of such a thing.

Xiao Yuan nodded: ”LuLu was born with a Taoist Body; her blood can suppress all things evil.”

As he spoke, Xiao Yuan asked for bowls, placing them in a line on the large dining table and filling each with clear water. Then, he handed talisman paper to the Xie Family: ”Each person takes a bowl of water and places the talisman paper in it.”

After the Xie Family members each took a bowl and placed the talisman paper in the water, Xiao Yuan opened the jade bottle and dripped one drop of blood into each bowl.

With each bowl, Xie Family members drank the water mixed with talisman paper and blood.

Normally, the Xie Family wouldn’t drink it, as the water looked dirty.

After all, when the talisman paper touched the water, it burned into ash floating on top, and a drop of bright red blood hovered there, looking revolting.

But now, their lives were at stake.

No one wanted to die early, so they had to drink the water.

No one from the Xie Family dared to raise an objection. From the oldest to the youngest, they obediently drank the water.

Whether due to psychological reasons or not, they all felt much lighter once the water was consumed.

After drinking, Xie Xu looked up and saw Xie Dong: ”Brother, on your body...”

As soon as he spoke, others glanced at Xie Dong, and they saw a gray-black smoke visibly wafting off him.

”You guys...”

Xie Dong looked back at the others.

Then everyone looked at each other, noticing that a gray-black smoky impurity was emanating from each of them.

They thought this must mean the curse had been lifted.

Soon after, a foul stench filled the Xie Family’s living room.

Xiao Yuan quickly asked someone to open the windows for ventilation and told the Xie Family: ”Tomorrow, go to a sunny place and bask in the sun.”

The Xie Family dared not refuse and nodded obediently.

With the curse lifted and a master present, Xie Xu grew bolder.

He took out his phone to make a call: ”Send someone to bring Sun Hong to me...”

Before he could finish, he heard the other person reply: ”Mr. Xie, Sun Hong ran away. He got a car after coming down the mountain and took off. Our people chased him for a while but lost his track.”

”What?”

Xie Xu frowned: ”Ran away? Are you sure?”

The person confirmed: ”Yes, we were waiting at the foot of the mountain and followed him until he got on the highway.”

Xie Xu was so angry that he nearly smashed his phone: ”Damn it, he got away.”

Xiao Yuan also heard Xie Xu talking to the people he had sent out. He frowned.

Sun Hong was indeed strange.

He had been scheming in the shadows, seemingly locked in a life-and-death struggle with both the Xiao and Xie families, yet he fled as soon as Xiao Yuan arrived. How cowardly.

Xiao Yuan couldn’t understand what Sun Hong was thinking or where he had come from.

”You can run, but you can’t hide.”

Mr. Xie patted Xie Xu’s shoulder: ”As long as he’s alive, we’ll find him. The most important thing now is to kick He Xiaohong’s family out.”

This was a family matter for the Xie Family, and Xiao Yuan wouldn’t interfere.

He said to Mr. Xie: ”Since this matter is settled, it’s inappropriate for me to stay longer. Please arrange for someone to take me to the hotel.”

The Old Madam was alarmed upon hearing this and held Xiao Yuan’s hand, insisting he shouldn’t leave: ”No, you can’t. You’re not an outsider; we’re all family. Why stay in a hotel? We have plenty of rooms here. You’re not staying in a hotel.”

Xiao Yuan smiled at the Old Madam, gently comforting her: ”Grandmother, it’s not that I consider myself an outsider. But He Xiaohong’s family will return later. You need to reveal that fraud’s true self. I’ve exerted a lot today and need rest; staying here might not be restful. Also, there are many things I shouldn’t be present for, don’t you think?”

That was all true.

The Old Madam was reluctant to let Xiao Yuan leave but understood he wouldn’t sleep well at the house. So she asked Xie Kun: ”Kun Kun, take your brother to your place for the night. Tomorrow, you both come back for a meal.”

Xie Kun nodded: ”Grandma, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of my brother.”
