Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 141 The past and the turning point of fate

Time passed like this for a week with Qiaoceline full of worries. This week, she was very calm. She went to class when she needed to go to class and attended parties when she needed to attend. Even during the communication with her father, she repeatedly restrained the urge to argue with the other party and responded with a near-perfect manner. She has played the role of the only daughter of the Lifford family in the eyes of everyone.

However, only Qiaoceline knew that these were just illusions made by her using [Water of Silence]. The real her still couldn't agree with her father's greedy personality, and couldn't forgive her father's despicable behavior of wantonly slandering the teacher she admired, Mr. Hobert.

However, all of these can only be reduced to thorns in her heart that cannot be removed, and cannot be turned into a weapon for her to resist fate. Because she knew that as the only daughter of the Lifford family, she could not leave the Lifford family, let alone the Lifford family.

After thinking about this, Qiaocelin gradually lost her resistance, and her life trajectory seemed to be the same as before.

She thought that all the storms had completely subsided in the past week, until the new week, the panicked maid Corina brought new bad news...

"Miss, it's not good, Mo... Mr. Morrison, he..."

"Corina, what happened to grandpa?"

Although Qiaoceline did not have a close relationship with the grandfather she mentioned, the pure emotion in her heart still drove her to mention her concern for her elders.

So, without hesitation, Qiaoceline shook the maid and urged the other party to continue speaking.

"Lord Morrison..." Corina's eyes evaded, but she finally lowered her head because she couldn't bear it, and added without confidence, "Miss, you'd better come with me, the master has already passed."

"it is good…"

Qiaoceline nodded, responded briefly, and then silently followed the maid to the abandoned old mansion far away from their new mansion.

"You're here? Jocelyn."

The moment he opened the door, he was greeted not only by an extremely depressing atmosphere of sadness, but also by the scrutinizing gaze of a middle-aged man mixed with complaints.

"Sorry...Father, I'm late..."

Receiving the reproachful look from her father, Qiaoceline couldn't help but shudder. She didn't have time to understand the surrounding atmosphere, so she took the lead in carefully lowering her head to make a self-examination.

The head of the Liford family nodded lightly, without comment. He took one last look at the old man who had passed away peacefully on the bed, and then without hesitation stepped out of this messy room filled with countless bottles and cans.

"Then grandpa..."

Seeing her father leaving so heartlessly, Qiaoceline couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, endured it, and finally mustered up the courage to call out to her father outside the door.

"Miss…"

However, before she finished speaking, she saw that the maid beside her had already taken the lead in making a silencing gesture.

"Feel sorry…"

Sensing the secret reminder from the maid, Qiaoceline quickly swallowed back the unspoken words and apologized quietly.

Yes, at this point, just like her father's decision, there is no point in continuing to stay here. And she, after all, was a step too late, failing to see her elder for the last time before he passed away, and failing to fulfill her obligations before his death.

Not willing to give in, I’m not willing to give in…

Recalling the reproachful look that met her when she first entered the door, Qiaoceline couldn't help but clench her fist angrily and tried her best to think about what else she could do now to make up for her fault.

"Jocelyn, come with me."

However, before she could come up with some reasons, her father's somewhat unequivocal voice came from outside the door.

"Yes…"

Qiaoceline responded with lack of confidence, not daring not to follow her, so she could only apologize to her grandfather silently in her heart, and at the same time trotted to follow her father with complicated emotions and left the abandoned mansion.

Along the way, the two walked in tandem, silence enveloped the two of them. No one had the intention or mood to speak. It wasn't until Qiaocelyn followed her father to the entrance of a dark corridor that the head of the Liford family, who had remained silent, belatedly said his first words: "Do you know what I brought you here for?" Silin shook her head silently.

"This is your grandfather's last wish. He hopes that you, who are talented enough, can inherit the special property owned by our family."

Following his father's gaze, he saw that the originally dark corridor was illuminated by the magic lamp that turned on at an unknown time, revealing its true appearance hidden in the dark environment.

Nothing but an old wall!

is that a lie…?
  Qiaoceline rubbed her eyes in disbelief and suspiciously checked the situation of the scene in front of her again.

However, what appeared in front of him was still just an ordinary brick wall and the extremely empty surrounding environment.

"Isn't it strange that there is nothing around?"

The head of the Liford family seemed to see through his daughter's confusion and smiled unexpectedly.

"Yes…"

Faced with her father's sudden and abnormal behavior, Qiaoceline was shocked, but she still maintained a submissive attitude on the surface and nodded lightly.

"Okay, now come to me and look at that wall again."

After saying that, the head of the Liford family motioned his daughter to take two steps forward for a second inspection.

Then, something even more incredible happened. When Qiaoceline walked to the position alongside her father, a complex magic circle appeared on the originally empty wall.

What's going on? It wasn't there just now...?
  Qiaoceline murmured silently in her heart, looking at her father beside her with half expectation and half fear.

"This is something only you can do. We have waited too long for this day."

The head of the Liford family sighed and led his daughter to the wall without caring whether he could understand it or not.

"Ah? What do you mean? Father, I...I don't quite understand...!'"

Qiaoceline looked at her father beside her with some hesitation, and finally plucked up the courage to ask her question.

"You'll know when you put your hand on it."

Without giving a direct answer, the head of the Liford family just left a reminder and quietly stepped aside, signaling his daughter to follow suit.

So, even though she was a little uneasy, and even though she still had many unknowns in her heart, Qiaoceline obediently followed her father's instructions and carefully touched her hand on the wall in front of her.

Then there was a flash of bright light, and the originally motionless wall suddenly shook violently. Looking again, the wall that was supposed to be unable to move on its own actually completed its shift in an instant, revealing a dark wooden box hidden behind the wall mechanism.

what is this?
  Qiaoceline was curious and subconsciously reached out to touch it, but her whole body froze in place the moment she touched the surface of the box.

Immediately afterwards, a strange memory that should not belong to her poured into her mind without any warning...

"That's it for the killing!"

In the vast sea of ​​​​golden fire, a man in a black cloak walked straight through the sea of ​​​​golden fire that was as dazzling as the radiance of the dawn sun. He waved the black scepter in his hand and eliminated one by one those black people who tried to block his progress. monster……

Who is this, where is she, and what are those black monsters?
  Just as Qiaoceline was about to ask about the mysterious person in front of her who seemed out of reach, the scene in front of her once again experienced an extremely uncoordinated shaking.

When she came to her senses again, there was no golden sea of ​​fire, no cloaked man holding a scepter. There is only the familiar ceiling, the urgent call of the maid Corina, and a refreshing and unique fragrance of flowers...

　I slowly figured out some things today, so I will update it soon...!
  　　PS: Yesterday’s update was a little rushed, and I forgot to cheer for all the friends taking the college entrance examination! I wish all my friends the best in these two days of exams and the best results!
  　　come on, come on, come on!
