Chapter 462
Xin Wan'en locked herself in her room for an entire day.
She then called for Ye Yu, stating that she wanted to visit the Graveflower Ghost Manor.
After all, Xin Lanying was her sister.
If Xin Lanying were to become a Dao partner with Cao Yongyu, and it was truly to eventually kill him and avenge their father...
Then as her older sister, she would fully support it.
In fact, to assist Xin Lanying, she would directly agree to the invitation from the Graveflower Ghost Manor.
All she wanted was to kill Cao Yongyu as soon as possible.
But on the other hand, if Xin Lanying didn't plan on avenging their father...
And truly wanted to be with Cao Yongyu,
Xin Wan'en would personally kill this illegitimate sister.
The Xin family would not tolerate such a disgraceful person's existence!
As long as she was alive, it would be a shame to the Xin family!
Therefore, no matter what, Xin Wan'en planned to personally go to the Graveflower Ghost Manor!
She hoped Ye Yu would not stop her.
The serious expression on her face looked quite cute.
Ye Yu chuckled lightly and said, "I won't stop you. I'll go with you, just as a way to relax."
Just as Xin Wan'en was about to speak,
Ye Yu covered her mouth.
"Don't say something like you plan to go alone."
"Do you not know your cultivation level?"
"You're still far from reaching the Ghost Immortal Realm. You don't have the ability to protect yourself."
"The Graveflower Ghost Manor is extremely dangerous. If you go alone, I will be worried."
After hearing these words, Xin Wan'en didn't say anything else.
She agreed.
The two of them discussed briefly, deciding to leave immediately.
That day, they departed from Chouyang City.
Yuqing Prefecture, Andong Cliff,
This is the base of the Graveflower Ghost Manor.
When Ye {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Yu and Xin Wan'en arrived,
The mountain ghost guarding the entrance seemed to have known they were coming.
With great respect, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you both for coming. The sect master has been waiting inside for a long time."
"Let me guide you in."
Ye Yu and Xin Wan'en exchanged a glance, feeling a bit puzzled.
They couldn't understand why Cao Yongyu was so certain they would come.
Or was it possible that there were spies from the Graveflower Ghost Manor near Chouyang City?
Did they know every move they made?
With these questions in mind, Ye Yu and Xin Wan'en entered the Graveflower Ghost Manor and arrived at its main hall.
The mountain ghost slightly bent down and raised his hand, signaling them to enter.
Ye Yu and Xin Wan'en didn't hesitate and walked in directly.
Before coming here, they had already decided that this visit to the Graveflower Ghost Manor would be conducted openly.
They could even claim they were there to join the sect.
Only in this way could they meet Xin Lanying.
So, they naturally didn't hesitate.
However, what they didn't expect was that the person sitting at the sect master's seat in the Graveflower Ghost Manor was actually Xin Lanying, not Cao Yongyu.
This scene left Ye Yu and Xin Wan'en very surprised.
Seeing the shocked expressions on their faces,
Xin Lanying couldn't help but smile.
She slowly stood up, dragging her wide black robe, stepping down the stairs.
"Is it hard to believe?" she softly said, "Can't figure out why I'm sitting here, right?"
"The answer is simple. The day before yesterday, I killed Cao Yongyu."
"I became the new sect master of the Graveflower Ghost Manor."
Upon hearing this, Xin Wan'en quickly asked, "Sister, you really avenged Father?"
Xin Lanying slightly shook her head.
This action confused Xin Wan'en.
It was well-known that Cao Yongyu, the sect master of the Graveflower Ghost Manor, had killed their father.
So, killing Cao Yongyu would mean avenging their father.
But why did her sister shake her head?
The genuine article resides on M|V|L&EMPYR.
Xin Lanying placed her hands behind her back and softly said, "Actually, to be precise, it was I who killed Xin Zhanguan, that old man, not Cao Yongyu. Do you understand?"
Xin Wan'en stepped back in disbelief.
She had considered countless possibilities before coming, but this was the one thing she hadn't expected.
"Why?"
When she asked this, her voice trembled slightly.
Then, Xin Lanying slowly began to tell her story.
When she was very young,
Xin Lanying understood one thing: the difference between a legitimate and illegitimate child was like heaven and earth.
Although she and Xin Wan'en were both children of Xin Zhanguan, the head of the Xin family,
The way they were treated—whether in terms of food, clothing, or the servants' attitude—was completely different.
This was something that had been proven countless times when they were little.
Back then, whenever Xin Lanying wanted something, the answer was always "no."
But when it came to Xin Wan'en, the word "no" never appeared.
As the legitimate daughter of the Xin family, whatever she wanted was always taken for granted.
And Xin Lanying could only pick up whatever Xin Wan'en didn't want or was discarded.
From that moment on,
Xin Lanying became extremely jealous of Xin Wan'en.
Why, even though they were sisters, was the gap between them so wide?
As they grew older,
Xin Wan'en displayed an astonishing talent for cultivation and became the hope of the entire Xin family.
Under the light of this brilliance,
Xin Lanying seemed even smaller.
Even the servants in the manor secretly mocked her, saying that the legitimate and illegitimate were truly different.
"This is fate!"
But Xin Lanying never accepted fate!
To obtain cultivation resources and change her destiny,
Xin Lanying disguised herself every day as harmless,
Building good relationships with everyone,
Just to gain the recognition of her father, Xin Zhanguan, so she could obtain some cultivation resources.
She also wanted to become stronger and needed others' recognition and praise.
But she never had any of it.
Her father, Xin Zhanguan's gaze, always stayed on Xin Wan'en.
He had never even looked at her properly.
One day, when Xin Lanying gathered the courage to ask for a few Ghost Stones for cultivation,
She was rejected.
Until today, Xin Lanying has never forgotten what Xin Zhanguan said.
"A Ying, these Ghost Stones are reserved for your sister."
"In a few years, I'll find you a good husband. Your life will be complete."
"The most important thing is to know your place. If your talent is lacking and you still wish to cultivate, that's foolishness. Do you understand?"
That day, Xin Lanying ran out of Chouyang City and cried for a very long time.
Yes, her life was this cautious.
Even her sadness had to be hidden far away.
Afraid of being seen by others.
And it was that day's reprimand that caused the hatred in Xin Lanying's heart to reach its peak.
