After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry Chapter 279: 274 Yin Man's Past

Chapter 279: Chapter 274 Yin Man’s Past

Lin Shihuan stared blankly at Qiao Luhua, “You, you’re Yin Man’s older sister?”

Qiao Luhua nodded, “I’m ten years older than Yin Man.” She looked at Ji Tian with a gentle gaze, “Tiantian looks a lot like my sister, and it’s precisely because she looks so much like her that her appearance on the cruise ship attracted the attention of those people from Wis Continent.”

“Otherwise, why would they offer three Tokens as prizes in the global high martial arts contest, luring thousands to participate? Even if Tiantian isn’t Yin Man, she would be mistaken for her and sent over.”

Lin Shihuan’s face had a montary abnormal expression because that was exactly what he had planned…

To control Ji Tian and use her to obtain the dals.

Initially, he had no particular plan, but then, who made her show such an astonishing Combat Power? Wasn’t she the perfect “Yin Man”?

“I’m a bit confused,” Lin Shihuan voiced his question, “Why are the people from Wis Continent looking for Miss Yin Man? Is it because of the previous global high martial arts contest? Did she take down those Ancient Martial Families and make them lose face?”

Over the years, many have been inquiring about Yin Man’s whereabouts. Apart from a very few who knew she had passed away, most people believed she was retreating from the world and not appearing in public.

“This matter is related to those damned Tokens,” Qiao Luhua sneered with a wrathful expression, as if recalling sothing, “Wis Continent is an ancient relic left from olden tis. Because it was not discovered, the people there still live in an antiquated manner. They always think they are the gods of the world, its masters, and because they are powerful, hardly anyone dares to provoke them.”

“And Yin Man and I are from one of the Four Ancient Martial Families—the Silver Family.”

After she spoke, everyone didn’t know what face to put on.

Ancient Martial Families did not appear in public but held strong Combat Power. They didn’t involve themselves in the changes of world states or engage in family enterprises. They never ran out of money; Wis Continent itself had the world’s largest diamond, gold, and jade mines.

Plus the antiques left from ancient tis, which were enough for them to not need to co out for several lifetis.

Ji Tian looked at Ji Yanshang, only to see him looking at Qiao Luhua with distressed eyes.

So, Ji Yanshang knew of Qiao Luhua’s identity.

“Mom, then why did you change your na and identity?”

Qiao Luhua’s surna was Qiao, not Silver.

Qiao Luhua shook her head slightly and sighed, “If I didn’t change my na, I would never have escaped the control of the Silver Family. To leave the Ancient Martial Family, one must die. I was thrown into the mountains as a corpse, and by sheer will to survive, I barely held onto life and managed to escape. It was only when I ran into your father’s passing rchant ship that I was rescued.”

“The matters regarding Wis Continent are lengthy. The Tokens that you know are actually forged with fresh blood, and the Boundless Water inside them is also infiltrated with blood, forming a demonic pit where people are consud. The direct lineage females of the Four Families are called Goddesses; their status might sound noble, second only to the Patriarch, but in reality, they are nothing more than blood offerings until their death.”

“I was unable to endure the annual bloodletting and was pronounced dead, then thrown into the mountains to ‘feed the Mountain God,’ in hopes of receiving divine protection. In reality, it was just feeding wild animals in the mountains. I’ve seen too many girls with the sa fate as die because of these Tokens. I escaped at the age of eighteen. When I left, it was ti for Yin Man to replace .”

“She secretly liked to practice martial arts ever since she was a child,” he said, “and told that once she grew up, she would take away from here. Sadly, I couldn’t wait for her. When I saw her again, she had already escaped for a year, scouring the world for . To protect her from being captured by the Silver Family again, I established the Independent Alliance, hoping to deter them with its power.”

“The year Yin Man had been out, she was very happy. We both thought we were free. Starting in the second year, however, she began to suffer intermittent convulsions and complain of pain. I took her to see nurous doctors, but none could determine the cause. Only after pleading before Li Hongjin did I learn that she had been poisoned. This poison was unique to the Silver Family, likely used to control her out of fear she would run away like I did. The poison had a one-year incubation period, and if one didn’t obtain the antidote within that year, the illness would break out. Even Miracle Doctor Li could not find a cure.”

At this point, everyone more or less understood.

Qi Si, a grown man, even cried. He wiped away his tears, “So Miss Yin Man won the championship while enduring her illness, and she never thought of going back to ask for an antidote before she died?”

Qiao Luhua gave a bitter smile, “Going back to that prisoner’s cage? She would rather die in the vast world, free like a little bird. Eighteen years ago, in her last letter to , she said she found a life she wanted to protect. She saw her past self in him, but sadly she couldn’t watch him grow into a soaring eagle because the illness drained her life away. Even Miracle Doctor Li Hongjin, who was filled with guilt for not curing Yin Man, declared he would no longer see patients. He said that with more ti, he would have been able to cure her.”

She looked at Ji Tian, “Actually, your dad and I knew you went to seek apprenticeship under Miracle Doctor Li Hongjin the first ti. We just pretended not to know because our whole family wanted to respect your desire for secrecy. We also feel quite guilty about his disappearance over these years. If it weren’t for Ah Man’s incident, he might have been world-renowned by now, rather than ending up as a pitiful, ignored old man. Good baby, don’t worry, your mom will use all the power of the Independent Alliance to find him.”

Ji Tian was still dazed when she walked out of the castle.

Frowning, she turned to him, “Jiangjiang, why is Wis Continent so terrifying? What era is this to still believe in eternal life? Using human blood as an offering is such archaic, ignorant thinking, isn’t it?”

anwhile, Qin Jiangsheng was thinking about Mo Jiu.

In his past life, when he was still working for him, he had sought those four Tokens. Eventually, he acquired three, but one remained traceless. It was then he unexpectedly learned that the person Mo Jiu wanted to resurrect was Yin Man.

Because she was his lover.

And in his previous life, Mo Jiu had never t Ji Tian, but this ti things seed different. He definitely saw Ji Tian, which led to the incident in Country F.

No, it should have started in Hei City A3 District, the day he dressed up formally to et Ji Tian.

By then, he had already begun to harbor thoughts he shouldn’t have.

Hearing Ji Tian’s voice, he lifted his hand and gently ruffled her hair, “Do you believe it?”

Ji Tian shook her head, “No.”

“I used to believe,” he said softly, “but later, I beca more convinced that there is an afterlife, and that lovers will et again.”

He, too, had once frantically demanded Mo Jiu to reveal the whereabouts of those four Tokens, but even until Mo Jiu’s death, he clenched his teeth and remained silent.

The word “resurrection” ant too much to him.

He had gained the whole world but had lost his heart, becoming a blank shell.

Back then, he desperately hoped Ji Tian would co back to life. When he learned it was impossible, he lit an eternal lamp for her at the temple and donated money for lamp oil, praying she would beco omnipotent in her next life, just as she had wished.
