"I'm not sure." Wan Qirou whispered, while drinking up the wine: "I'm not sure, it's just possible, but it's also possible that it's not there at all."
"You said you weren't here before," Ling Xiaotu said.
"I did say that, and I also believe they are not here!" Wan Qirou raised her voice:
"I,,,,you know, I can't just believe that my family members did that kind of thing, it's a very serious accusation, because I saw,,,," she brushed her hair hard and looked like a mess.
, Jiagu Haorong took her hand and asked her to sit down on the sofa, and then put his hand on her forearm.[
This behavior made her calm down a little, and Ling Xiaotu saw her take a gentle breath, trying to collect her emotions.
When she spoke again, her tone sounded better.
"When I first got on the boat, I told Jiagu Haorong that I might have seen something. I seemed to see a bird flying past in the shadows." She said: "It was so fast that I couldn't catch it at all, and then I thought I might
I saw it wrong."
She said to Ling Xiaotu in a pleading tone:
"I didn't say it at first because I didn't believe what I saw. What I saw was not some shadow family looking for my member, Ling Xiaotu. What I saw was,,,, the family's divine bird!"
"Sacred bird?" Ling Xiaotu asked.
Wan Qirou laughed quickly, with an angry and sarcastic tone.
"Don't be fooled by the name. Those rich people just like to give nice names to scary things, just like they call murderous things the Iron Maiden. The Shadow Family's sacred bird is here to carry out the punishment within the clan.
It's made to kill!"
"You mean,,,, your family members want to kill you?" Ling Xiaotu asked, no wonder she didn't want to say anything.
"Maybe," Wan Qirou said, her voice choked up, and she even started biting her fingernails:
",,,,It is impossible for me to escape from being chased. Do you know why our family keeps secrets so well? Because no betrayer can live, no one can live after breaking the rules, and the family is so profound.
Test, because everyone knows this and no one dares to say anything. As long as there is a shadow, they can kill you at any time!"
