760: Chapter 8 The True Secret Hidden by the Shen Family 760: Chapter 8 The True Secret Hidden by the Shen Family “I need to go into seclusion for a while.”
Li Mumu weighed her options for a mont in her heart and decided to be truthful with Wang Yunxiao.
“Seclusion?
Did you stumble upon so peerless Divine Skill Secret Manuals?”
Wang Yunxiao did not understand the subtext of Li Mumu’s words.
“Will it take a long ti?”
“I’m not sure how long it will take, but in that ti, I might not have the ability to protect myself.
You know…
that kind of state, right?”
“Oh!
I get it.”
So, basically brain-dead and retarded, right?
I’ve already seen this twice; it’s nothing new.
So…
you’re saying you can enter this state at will?
Wang Yunxiao’s gaze turned towards Li Mumu, suddenly filled with sympathy and pity: “You an slow to react and unable to take care of yourself, right?
Don’t worry, I’ll definitely take care of you when the ti cos.”
“No matter what I beco, you’ll take care of ?”
“What else could you turn into?”
Wang Yunxiao smiled as he looked into Li Mumu’s eyes: “Why don’t you transform for now, to give a heads-up?”
“Hehe.”
“Hehehe…”
“I’ll transform for you when we get back to school.”
“Great, great!”
Great my ass, who knows how many tricks you have up your sleeve.
A man’s mouth, a liar’s ghost.
Even with Wang Yunxiao’s assurance, it wasn’t enough for Li Mumu.
She preferred not to put all her eggs in one basket.
Before leaving, she had other matters to take care of to prevent further complications.
…
“Here’s food for three days; ration it, because I won’t be coming back for a while.”
“Don’t do this, sister!
My dear sister!
Let out!”
Shen Qingxi appeared desperate for life but Li Mumu knew she was just faking pitifulness.
If one could starve to death after missing a few als, such a person wouldn’t deserve to be thrown into the Containnt Departnt in the first place.
Those confined here were all overflowing with sin and fortune.
“I’m going to find a place for seclusion to cultivate.”
“For how long?”
“Hard to say.”
“You all are already so powerful, can you not try so hard to improve?”
Tears welling up in her eyes, Shen Qingxi leaned on the iron bars: “When can I be freed?
My parts are almost rusting away.
Reddy, won’t you give a chance for leniency?
I’m willing to do anything!”
“Telling won’t help; you should reflect on your own issues.”
Li Mumu spoke earnestly to Shen Qingxi: “I’ve asked around about your situation.
The Special Service Bureau intends to keep you for so ti, to ensure there are no major issues before they can release you.
Besides, there’s been so progress with the matter you care most about.”
Shen Qingxi’s eyes brightened as she hurriedly asked: “Is it about my family?”
“Yes, in fact, there are two Shen Qingxis in the Shen Family.”
“Eh?”
Shen Qingxi was shocked: “There’s another ?
Where?”
…I’ve taken care of her.
But what Li Mumu was about to discuss was not that matter.
During the past few days’ surgeries, she had talked to Director Shen about the Shen Family’s issues.
She hadn’t expected the Shen Family’s waters to be deeper than she thought.
“You probably don’t know that the Shen Family has been secretly cultivating Human Skin Painters, do you?”
“Ah?”
Shen Qingxi was stunned: “Are you talking about my family?”
“When the President was compiling the system of the Twelve Laws, he collected opinions from all quarters, integrating the strengths of various families.
This included the Cheng Family, which you are more familiar with.
The Cheng Family originated from a military family of the Brocade-Clothed Guard in the Forr Dynasty, and they provided many valuable suggestions during the President’s compilation process.”
“Many elents within the Advisor Dharma Gate were directly copied from the unique teachings passed down in their family, so practicing this Dharma Gate cos much easier to them.
Cheng Xuefei, who was considered to be without much talent, has now advanced to the rank of Flower Amidst Guests on the Heretical Path.”
“The Shen Family also obtained so of these resources, receiving the Cultivation thod of the Chess Herald Path.
But the problem is…
there are no professional surgeons in your family, right?”
“Yeah…”
Shen Qingxi said in surprise: “I wouldn’t have known if you didn’t tell .”
“Because the person who initially obtained these resources wasn’t your grandfather Shen Jianzhen, but a distant relative of his.
He had returned from studying in the Royal dical College in the United Kingdom, young and full of passion, and without much thought, he shared these resources with your grandfather.”
“My grandfather never ntioned this to !”
“Your grandfather doesn’t rember, because he has deleted this part of his mory and has completely severed ties with your family.”
After pondering for a long ti with furrowed brows, Shen Qingxi asked doubtfully: “He didn’t tell you this himself, did he?”
Yes.
But without his permission, Li Mumu dared not take the liberty to reveal Director Shen’s identity.
“The car accident this ti wasn’t your first narrow escape from death, was it?”
Shen Qingxi nodded vigorously: “That’s right, that’s right.
I had an accident at ho when I was in elentary school.
There was a fire, and I almost got burned to death.”
“The real Shen Qingxi had already died at that ti.”
“Ah?”
“You think you’re Shen Qingxi, but Shen Jianzhen never regarded you as his own granddaughter.
Because in that accident, all of the Shen family perished in the fire, none survived.”
“Ah?”
“But Shen Jianzhen made a deal with a Demon, selling the souls of his entire family to the Demon in exchange for a second life.”
“Except for you—you do not bear the mark of a Demon Contract.”
“Ah?”
“Yes, from the perspective of the Shen family, sothing more terrifying than a Demon has possessed the body of Shen Qingxi that night.
Not understanding your background, Shen Jianzhen has always kept this secret buried deep inside, not daring to reveal it.”
Li Mumu leaned close to Shen Qingxi, staring into her clear, yet foolishly large eyes, and asked softly: “So, you should understand now why the Special Service Bureau won’t let you out, right?”
“Do you…
know what you are?”
“I’m not a thing!”
“No, no, no…” Shen Qingxi wished she could slap herself: “What I an is that I am !
After being with each other for so long, have I ever hard you or Amber?”
Li Mumu shook her head: “We’re different from you, Amber practices the Ghost Path of the local Underworld, and I practice the authentic scriptures of the Guiding Bodhisattva from the Overseas Netherworld.
Our origins and connections are very clear; alive we belong to Ming Country, and dead we’re the deceased of Ming Country.”
“But you, Sect Hierarch Shen, on the surface, you practice the Heretical Cultivation Technique of Uncivilized People.
But in reality?
Where was this steel body of yours forged?
If I’m not mistaken, it should be the chanical Alchemy from the Imperial Academy of Sciences of the United Kingdom, right?”
“And that elental creature you’re raising, do you realize the destruction it can cause once it forms a swarm?
That thing has long been blacklisted by the Special Service Bureau for smuggling.”
Last ti soone smuggled a shipload, it forced the Special Service Bureau to perform Ti-Space Retrospection.
I’ve witnessed it myself!
“One thing you said is right, there’s definitely a mole among us three.
But whether it’s a mole from the Special Service Bureau or from so other faction, that’s hard to say.”
“I’m innocent!”
Shen Qingxi cried bitterly: “So what if I returned from the United Kingdom?
I’ve said I want to co clean, but you guys didn’t even ask!
If that’s the case, are you really that clean, Reddy?
Don’t think I don’t know, that Puppet doll you carry around is a kin of Nya Toratip!
You’re in cahoots with her— you’re no better!”
