  She gazed coldly at the car speeding towards the city to pick up someone, her heart filled with some hesitation, but Xue Xiao Yao did not give up on what she was about to do. People must pay the price for their past actions, this was something she had always insisted on!

  "So, Old Master has gone to look for that little girl from the Zuo family?"

  Upon hearing the young man's thoughtful question from the back seat, Wang Quanren, who was driving himself, hastily nodded and said, "Yes, the old man is very anxious and tense. As soon as he found out about Li Xiao Yao's whereabouts, not only did he send Mr. Liu to keep an eye on her, but also contacted Zhao Jingru to have her intercept that girl. He attaches great importance to this matter, I really don't know what it's all for."

  It was somewhat obvious that the young man's intention to probe Lao Ye about what made them so important was not subtle, and he let out a slightly displeased 'hmm' before responding indifferently, "Old Master's affairs are none of our business! You don't need to worry too much, just focus on doing your job well. From the first quarter's revenue, Hongxin's recent performance has been somewhat disappointing!"

  Wang Quanren's heart skipped a beat, his hands on the steering wheel trembling momentarily, and the car swerved into an 'S' shape. Before the young man sitting there could utter a word of rebuke, Wang immediately threw aside his dignity as the president of Hongxin Group and apologized nervously, "Sorry, sorry! I scared Mr. Yuan!"

  After humming a cold 'hmm' again, the young man with the surname Yuan asked casually, "Did you tell Grandfather about my return in advance?"

  "No! No, since you didn't say anything, I won't take it upon myself!"

  The truth is that before the old man left, he had specifically instructed that unless he took the initiative to contact him, no one was allowed to disturb his actions. Of course, the truth only flashed through Wang Quanren's mind for an instant, and from the hindsight, seeing the young man's face slightly clearer, knowing that he was somewhat satisfied with his answer, his originally raised heart finally fell slightly.

  Just as he was hesitating about whether to use the market situation as an excuse to explain the decline in the group's performance this quarter, Wang Quanren suddenly felt that the sedan, which was driving downhill, was somewhat out of control and crashed into the guardrail on the side of the road. The situation happened extremely suddenly. This latest Mercedes-Benz seemed to have its own mind at this moment, not under his control at all, and stepping on the brakes had no reaction.

  Unlike the last time he drove drunk in the middle of the night, this time was different. Last time, he had been so drunk that he saw someone crossing the road ahead but instead of stepping on the brakes, he unconsciously accelerated and ran them over. The thrill he felt then was from seeing the pain and terror on the person's face as they were about to be hit. This time, however, it was his own panic at being in an accident that he faced: "Mr... Mr... Yuan... situation... not... ah!"

  Unfortunately, when Wang Quanren turned his head to look at the young man in the back seat with full expectation, expecting that the young man who also had superpowers in his impression could think of a way to resolve the crisis, Yuan surname The young man was pale at this time, and he could clearly see that the car was being controlled by a force after hitting the guardrail on the side of the road, and it continued to roll down the steep slope beside him. His whole body's spiritual power was locked up, and he couldn't use the 'superpower' in the eyes of ordinary people as Wang Quanren had expected!

  The slope was specially reinforced with cement and stones, extremely steep and deep. Even though the Mercedes-Benz driven by Wang Quanren had top-notch performance and quality, after being intentionally rolled and crashed multiple times on the stone slope with immense force, the car was destroyed beyond recognition, and the situation of the two people inside was equally dire.

  The sedan, as she had wished, was overturned at the bottom of the slope. Without getting out of the car, Xiaoyao set up a barrier around them and then looked through the badly damaged window at the two people inside who were crying out in pain. She first retrieved the positioning listener from the back of the driver's seat, and then, with a smile that seemed to mock them, she said coldly, "Thanks for remembering me all these years, I hope you enjoy this big gift I sent you?"

  Suddenly regaining clarity, as if forgetting the unbearable pain that spread throughout his body, Wang Quanren cried out in a mournful voice "Zuo Xiaoyao, you are Zuo Xiaoyao! Please, have mercy on me and save me quickly! I've never wronged you, we're relatives, your older sister is my daughter-in-law, your father is my sworn brother, I let them all live good lives...you can't treat me like this, I..."

  "How you treat others has nothing to do with me. Half a month ago, you caused someone else's death in a car accident. Now the same thing happens to you, how does it feel? The law of karma is indeed merciless!"

  The scene before her eyes was indeed miserable, but at this moment, Zuo Xiao Yao's heart, who was smiling coldly, did not have the slightest regret or discomfort. Instead, she had a hint of satisfaction and pleasure, as if she had been expecting this scene to come. Ever since she discovered that he had intentionally crushed an innocent pedestrian to death in a car accident ten days ago, which was later dismissed by the authorities due to 'unknown perpetrator', what kind of retribution could be more satisfying than using his own methods against him?

  She cast a faint glance at the young man with the surname Yuan, who had fainted after being subjected to her own "Peeping God" technique. Since she was very satisfied with this "car accident" that she had personally "created", Zuo XiaoYao didn't plan on giving others any handles to use against her. Even though she knew that her decision this time would likely stir up even more trouble, she could only try to erase some of the traces that shouldn't exist. Then, before the police car and ambulance arrived, she ignited the remaining gasoline in the car's fuel tank.

  After making sure that there was no one left, and seeing that the two people in the car had absolutely no chance of survival, Yu Mei quickly returned to the rented house where Zuo Xiao Yao was waiting, and only then did she let out a sigh of relief. Although this place wasn't truly her 'home', it could temporarily serve as a safe haven.

  It's probably the first time she's done something so extreme in her life, and yet she took two people's lives with just one move. Now that she's calmed down and thought about it carefully, the grudges between them didn't seem that big after all. Plus, Zuo Xiao Yao didn't feel like she had the potential or desire to become a female killer. After the initial thrill of revenge wore off, her emotions became complicated, and she even started doubting whether the person who did those things was really herself.

  But from head to toe, after carefully thinking through the causes, processes and outcomes of everything, Zuo Xiao Yao discovered that she didn't regret it, didn't regret getting her hands stained with blood, including the two people still trapped in this house, she also had no intention of letting them off!

  Zuo Xiao Yao also hopes that she can always live a simple life, not scheming with others, not fighting fiercely with others, and not being on guard when interacting with others on the surface, but life is never that simple, it can always exhaust people to the point of extreme fatigue!

  Just like two years ago, she couldn't have imagined that she would embark on the path of cultivation, and at that time, Zuo Xiaoyao also didn't think that one day, in order to better protect herself and survive, she would be able to devise such a bloody plan that would cost people their lives.

  But she has now embarked on this path, and there is absolutely no thought of retreat or abandonment, even if the price to be paid for it is extremely expensive, and once lost, it will never be regained. But what needs to be done must be done! After organizing all the information 'gleaned' from Liu Cheng and his three apprentices, Zuo Xiao looked at Liu Cheng's master and apprentice, who had been released by her, with a clear mind in her eyes, which had just been confused and panicked for a moment.

  "Ah!..... You wicked woman, how dare you ruin my cultivation? I'll kill you! I'll kill you..... Raising a tiger to invite calamity, raising a tiger to invite calamity! If only today was earlier, I would have....."

  Ignoring the loud roar of Liu Cheng's face full of resentment after being stripped of his restrictive orders, anyway there are soundproof restrictions around, and he doesn't care about disturbing the peace in the early morning. Zuo Xiao Yao replied calmly, "Grandfather treated you with great kindness, but you repay him with enmity, all for the sake of what you think is the He family's treasure?"

  Through the art of divination, one can only know about the events and scenes that have left a memory in Liu Cheng's mind, but cannot know his thoughts at the time or the reasons for doing those things. In that peaceful era that had not yet arrived, Liu Cheng, who was once an orphan living on the streets by begging, was on the verge of starving to death when he met Grandfather, who had just escaped from the Li family, and took him in as a servant boy, saving his life.

  It is said that great difficulties do not kill, and there must be good fortune afterwards. This Liu Cheng's luck was indeed good. Because Grandfather later became a private school teacher in the town near the county seat in Grandma's hometown, Liu Cheng, who followed Grandfather, was favored by a passing cultivator. Although Grandfather did not know the truth, he also let him rush towards a good future.

  Liu Cheng's expression slightly solidified as he heard the words, this was a memory that he had never been willing to recall or even acknowledge. Even though he had done countless evil deeds since becoming a cultivator, only this one thing made him feel guilty, and he couldn't think of an excuse to comfort himself for his actions in colluding with others to deal with Zuo Xuan Hui.

  In a daze, the anger and hatred that had originally been triggered by his discovery of his lost cultivation after waking up dissipated somewhat. After a moment, Liu Chengcai's spiritless voice murmured to himself, "I just want to know what's inside that box... I just want to know where the He family treasure is... That box must have some clues since it's the He family's heirloom in the mortal realm... But Young Master won't hand it over, he just scolds me and refuses to hand it over... I didn't intend to do anything to him..."

  Although the voice was small, with Zuo Xiao's current hearing ability, she naturally heard it clearly. Suppressing her anger, she coldly sneered, "How could you not think of that?! You personally killed the benefactor who saved you from the Ghost Gate, forcing his only son to jump into the sea to escape, and sent people to monitor your grandmother for decades on end. Don't you feel guilty at all? So, with your qualifications and cultivation, it's no wonder you've been stuck in a rut all this time! This is retribution!"
