I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?
Chapter 2209 Aren't you afraid the Mistress will come after you?
The heart beat twice in the young lady's hand, then stopped.
The sixth young master's body stiffened for a moment, then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The scales on his face began to peel off, and his dark red vertical pupil slowly dimmed.
The sixth young master's mouth was still moving, as if he wanted to say something, but he no longer had the strength.
He looked at the young lady and Zhang Yangqing, and with his last bit of strength, he squeezed out a sentence, spitting out blood as he said, "You are disloyal to the mistress! You will all die! You will all be buried with me! Hahahaha!"
His laughter was short and quickly stopped.
The young lady swiftly brought down her knife, and his head lolled to one side, utterly silenced.
The surrounding malevolent energy began to dissipate, the cracks in the walls slowly closed, and the heavy sense of oppression gradually faded away.
The young lady's body also returned to human form, her skin returned to its normal color, her claws retracted their tips, and her pupils turned back to black.
She stood beside the sixth young master's body, looked down at it for a while, and said nothing.
She turned around and looked at Zhang Yangqing: "Why did you help me?"
Zhang Yangqing said, "I'm just curious why you did this."
The young lady was stunned for a moment: "That's the reason?"
Zhang Yangqing nodded: "That's right."
The young lady was silent for a few seconds, then spoke, her voice much softer than before: "The story is long."
This time, Zhang Yangqing was very patient because he wanted to know the cause and effect of all of this.
The young lady continued, "The mistress instilled absolute loyalty in us from a young age, and I have always been absolutely loyal to her. But the mistress is often not at home, and I am usually the one taking care of my younger siblings."
"No one knows them better than me. I know when my second brother is clean, when my third sister is afraid to speak, when my fourth brother secretly practices kung fu alone, and when my fifth brother cleans up other people's messes."
Her voice dropped an octave as she said this.
"No one loves them more than I do."
"You don't understand,"
She looked at Zhang Yangqing.
“My loyalty to the mistress began to waver when she ordered my third sister to kill her lover with her own hands. I was there and I saw my third sister in great pain. Her fingers were trembling so much that she couldn’t even hold the knife. But my brother-in-law was willing to be killed. There was no fear in his eyes when he looked at my third sister. There was only a deep reluctance, as if he was saying ‘It’s okay.’”
She paused for a moment.
"He really loves his third sister."
"You have no idea how I felt when I saw that scene with my own eyes! I was almost going crazy, you know that!"
The young lady practically roared these words.
Zhang Yangqing asked, "Why did the mistress do this?"
The young lady's voice turned colder: "The mistress is a paranoid. She believes that loyalty must be absolute. Once her children fall in love with other people, loyalty will no longer be pure. She is afraid that once her children have something to hold onto, they will hesitate in their actions and choose other things instead of her."
"So she used this method to force the third sister to express loyalty, loyalty to the point that you can even kill the man you love, that you are absolutely loyal to the mistress."
When she said these words, there was no anger or resentment in her tone, only a calmness as if she were stating a fact.
But that calm was more chilling than anger.
Zhang Yangqing asked, "You killed the Second Young Master's fiancée's entire family because of this?"
The young lady didn't shy away from the question: "That's right. Back then, the second son was very much in love with his girlfriend. The mistress noticed this, and I didn't want him to kill the woman he loved with his own hands. With his personality, if he did it himself, he would suffer for the rest of his life. Even if he hates me for the rest of his life, this matter must be done by me." Her tone was as if she were talking about something that had already passed, but her fingers unconsciously clenched for a moment, then relaxed.
Zhang Yangqing began to understand why the Fourth Young Master said that the Eldest Miss was very gentle and loved her younger siblings very much.
For her younger siblings, she was willing to bear all the blame and direct all the hatred onto herself.
She wasn't in pain; she just had no other choice.
Zhang Yangqing asked, "You killed Lao Ba because Lao Ba found out about your infidelity to the mistress?"
The young lady nodded: "Old Eight is very capable. He and Old Six investigated me together and actually found out. Old Six discovered clues while researching the strange things, and Old Eight followed those clues all the way down and almost uncovered all my plans."
Actually, neither Miss Zhang nor Zhang Yangqing knew how the Eighth and Sixth Brothers had found out.
Only Zhang Yangqing's clone knows.
The information obtained by the clone was that the strange phenomenon could not descend upon the young lady, indicating that the young lady had become disloyal to the mistress.
Zhang Yangqing continued, "Then why did Lao Liu kill the Third Miss and the Fifth Young Master?"
The young lady explained, "They don't intend to kill Third Sister and Fifth Brother. They plan to kill everyone except me and Xiao Jiu, and then wait for the mistress to return and report me. This way, they can demonstrate their absolute loyalty to the mistress and gain power."
As she said this, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, a cold mockery in her smile.
"They thought I hadn't noticed. The Eighth Brother was too clever for his own good. He was killed by me before he could even carry out his plan. I didn't expect the Sixth Brother to be so strong either."
Zhang Yangqing shook his head: "Old Six isn't strong, he's much weaker than you. He just made changes specifically for you. He's studied too many human bodies and supernatural phenomena, and knows how to deal with you. He struggles even against me."
The young lady paused for a moment, as if savoring the words, then nodded: "Perhaps, but thanks to you."
She looked at Zhang Yangqing, her tone becoming more serious: "Aren't you afraid the mistress will come back and settle scores with you?"
Zhang Yangqing shrugged: "What did I do? Your affairs have nothing to do with me. I'm just doing my job and trying to end this farce as soon as possible. Helping anyone won't interfere with my profession."
Zhang Yangqing's words were still watertight: whatever I do is none of your business, I haven't done anything wrong, and my rules don't say I have to be loyal to the mistress.
Zhang Yangqing continued, "What do you plan to do next? Break ties with the mistress? How do you explain the deaths of so many younger siblings?"
The young lady's voice lowered: "I don't know. I feel fear whenever I try to think about rebelling against the mistress. The mistress is not on the same level as us. We cannot fight against her."
Zhang Yangqing said, "It's not like there's no way."
The young lady looked up, her gaze changing: "How do I do it?"
Zhang Yangqing said, "Just find someone else to be the mistress."
The young lady was stunned. She opened her mouth, then said, "But..."
Zhang Yangqing waved his hand: "I didn't say anything about you. The mistress is definitely on guard against you. If you have any ideas, you will surely die."
The young lady frowned: "So what do you mean?"
Zhang Yangqing glanced at Miss Jiu: "You can do some heinous things, such as deceiving Miss Jiu into going against her birth mother and stripping the mistress of her authority. That way you can deal with the mistress. The mistress is not very wary of Miss Jiu, almost not at all."
The young lady's expression changed, and her voice became somewhat uncontrollable: "What do you mean by this?"
Her moral compass and her understanding of the world seemed to prevent her from doing so.
This is the most evil thing, because the mistress has never wronged the Ninth Miss, and even went to search for the fruit of the immortal tree for the sake of the Ninth Miss.
The Ninth Miss is the mistress's only weakness, and the only person she is not on guard against.
Zhang Yangqing shrugged: "I've told you everything. Do you want to be a good older sister, survive, or protect your younger siblings? The choice is yours. There's no perfect solution." (End of Chapter)
