A faint smile appeared on Xia Tong’s lips. She stared at Gu Man fiercely. “This time, 1’11 let you pay for my daughter’s life!”
Gu Man smiled understandingly when she heard this. There was something wrong. It was as if there was an answer. “You’re really heartless. You can even kill your own daughter.”
Xia Tong paused for a moment because of this sentence. Then, the corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile and she pretended to be confused. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“Is that so?” Gu Man did not want to argue with Xia Tong anymore, because she had discovered something even more interesting.
It was when she realized Xia Tong’s identity that a layer of memory suddenly appeared in her mind.
Her mind was also in extreme pain because of the sudden appearance of this layer of memory, but she could still endure this pain.
One of the Xia Family’s secret techniques was to seize the body of someone they were directly related to.
There was a hard requirement for using this secret technique, which was that the person performing it had to have a direct relationship with the user.
The process of the technique was extremely cruel. Moreover, in order to avoid any mistakes during the possession process, this secret technique was always in the hands of the highest person.
Or rather, Xia Tong’s Grandma was no longer herself, but her ancestor.
“How long have you lived?” Gu Man looked at Xia Tong curiously.
Xia Tong did not expect Gu Man to ask this question. She narrowed her eyes and sized her up with a hint of inquiry. “Why do you say that?”
Ordinary people were already extremely smart to be able to guess that their identities had been possessed, but Gu Man’s words seemed to know a lot about their secret techniques and even exposed the key.
This also made Xia Tong wary because she could not expose this to others.
At the same time, she made up her mind. Gu Man had to die. The Xia family’s secret had to be kept, no matter how much Gu Man knew.
Xia Tong put away her hand and was not in a hurry to attack. She wanted to get Gu Man to tell her.
“Heh, 1 just remembered something. The Xia family’s secret technique is not in vain. It’s just that back then, everyone in the Xia family was slaughtered. Why do they still have descendants in this world?” Images kept appearing in Gu Man’s mind.
In the anciently decorated villa, the ground was covered in blood. One could only hear begging and roars. A group of people stood outside the villa and looked at the villa coldly. Someone even threw a torch in and the villa instantly burned. There was only a raging fire in front of them, and even the painful cries gradually subsided.
Although the entire scene was very blurry and she could not even capture Gu Man’s own existence, she was extremely sure that this was the night the Xia family was slaughtered.
Xia Tong’s heart beat faster and faster. Her pupils widened as she stared at Gu Man in disbelief. She clenched her fists and her entire body trembled. “Who are you?”
She could not answer any of Gu Man’s questions. There was only one question in her heart, and that was, who was the person in front of her? Could it be that she had possessed someone to survive like her? However, only the Xia family could master the Xia family’s secret technique. They were unwilling to hand over the secret technique, so they were exterminated by that sanctimonious “righteous sect”. She was only a backup plan left behind by the Xia family.
The hatred in Xia Tong’s eyes deepened again. She stared fixedly at Gu Man’s face and started to think about her methods just now.
Which sect could it be? However, her methods were very carefree and one could not figure out a pattern.
“You were the ones who were heartless first. Our Xia family has never done anything wrong. Why do you have to kill us all?” She asked indignantly. Every night, that scene kept replaying in her mind. She would have a nightmare almost every once in a while and was deep in it, unable to wake up at all.
In her nightmare, she watched helplessly as the Xia family gradually perished, but she could not reach out to stop them. She could only watch the exasperation on the faces of those so-called righteous people when they could not find the Xia family’s secret technique.
She hated them so much. The Xia family had clearly done nothing wrong. They had only mastered a few secret techniques.
Although Gu Man’s memories were blurry, she was sure that the truth was definitely not what Xia Tong had said..
